So... I kind of made decision to never watch these titles. I will never give them chance, no matter how high their score is.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, and everything related to it.

Stuff that adapts Reki Kawahara's works, although I did see first 13 episodes of SAO, and entire AW series, and AW OVA...
But I learned my lesson.

High School DxD. From what I know, the only good thing about this are hentai fanarts.

Monogatari series. People tell me all the time that this is harem franchise that is actually awesome, and I say, sorry folks, but I have no interest in one guy being sorrounded by beautiful girls, unless he is an orc, pig orc, middle aged school janitor, evil warlord who enslaved the entire Holy Elven Forest, or Ryuichi Kaizu from Aoki Hono, or simply just random evil demon with tentacles.

Kimi no Na wa. Because it's made by Makoto Shinkai, and it's probably one more of his movies filled with disgusting feels, and melodrama, and I'm at that point in life when I just don't want stuff that makes me feel bad, and down.

No Game No Life. Not even sure what this is all about, but seems to be harem, so, by default garbage.

...

There is probably a lot more, but I'm bored to mention it all.

Do you folks also have stuff that you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give even a tiny bit of your attention, no matter how much others praise it.

Enjoy in thread.


You are doing yourself a great disservice if you're skipping any of Shinkai's works...

...but No Game No Life, yeah, you're not missing anything at all there. Utter tripe.

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Come on guys, there is at least one good harem - Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki OVA1 - OVA3 (+ Tenchi Muyou! GXP TV which is not about Tenchi).
And what can I tell you they are not meant to be taken seriously.

Monogatari is only technicaly a harem...which doesn't mean it's not boring. I liked only Bakemomogatari and dropped the franchise after Nisemonogatari.



Neon Genesis Evangelion is the anime I will never watch...and I am a mecha fan also a Gainax fan.
Watched the Eva movie by mistake and my reaction was "Seriously? This is supposed to be better than the Akira, GITS and Ouritsu Uchuugun movies put together?".
The last time I ever cared seriuosly about popularity and what anime fandom consider good and important.

Also I skip all sport animes. Tried various of those like Hajime no Ippo or unconventional ones like Chihayafuru, even checked by mistake Free while thinking it's a genuine swimming title but never worked for me.

Yeah some of those I wont be watching as well. Re Zero I'm not watching because it's probably just overhyped and overrated garbage. Highschool DxD has nice tits but thats about it. Not worth watching. No Game No Life from what I know of it seems very cliche so I wont even bother with it. Your Name was a decent movie. The only thing going for it was the music and animation though.

I will never watch Detective Conan, simply because it's too goddamn long and both the premise and art style are unappealing to me.

Yuri on Ice! and other yaoi stuff just 'cause that genre isn't for me.

Ashita no Joe, Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basket and other sports anime. I don't really care if they have a legitimately good, dramatic story; if it is centered around sports, i won't like it.

Just like you, there are some popular shows I won't ever watch because even if I haven't watch a great amount of animes I've seen enough to know about my tastes.

Here is a list of some of these popular shows I won't ever watch or continue:

- Re:Zero, because I can't stand this kind of moe chara-design and the story doesn't interest me.

- Sword Art Online, dropped at episode 9 because it was annoying and I was told that there were more useless female characters to come. Plus the fact that there is fan service.

- every show that contain ecchi, ecchi-like fan service, harem with fan service... such as High School of the Dead, Monogataries series, No Game No Lide... (I've watch Code Geass a long time ago and some episodes of Fairy Tail but I can no more watch shows like this)

- Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress (just saw the trailers), because they used the popularity of Shingeki no Kyojin, they used the same staff, and they didn't respect Isayama since they copied the gear the characters use in their anime. Anyway I "boycott" Goro Taniguchi show since every time he does an anime he's copying or taking too much inspiration from an other one.

- Fate/Zero, although I liked UBW, I dropped Zero because the first episodes were boring, especially the first one. I wanted to punch the characters especially Irisveil. I hate it when characters talk too much in a monologue or discussion just to make the show mature. They talk like they've seen everything in their life. It's boring.

The same happened with Kaori in Your Lie in April (a show I shouldn't have watch because I expected it to be overrated but I did give a try and I regret because it's one of the worst show I've ever seen).
Characters act and talk like they know everything about life while they're just teeanagers. Moreover Kaori (despite what happens to her) and Tsubaki are selfish and annoying. And I can't watch shows with this kind of characters.

It's kinda sad that you don't want to watch Kimi no Na Wa. At first I really thought it was overrated but I saw it and it became my favorite Shinkai movie. But I respect your choices. Each person has its own taste. Sometimes it's good to follow someone advice because you can do good discoveries but I think following your instinct is the best (most of the time), moreover, you shouldn't force yourself to watch something even if a lot of people say it's great or if the show is popular.

you're not missing much anyways. kimi no na wa and monogatari are boooring (bUT U NEED 2 WATCH dem IN da correct ORDER).
as for myself there are three types i'll skip regardless of what i read about them, mostly because of past experiences:
  • any fantasy shit in the style of goblin slayer, like D&D i guess. never again, i learned my lesson this time.
  • self aware stupid light novel adaptations, like that bunny girl one. boooring!
  • idol moeshit, self explanatory.

I am well aware that Makoto Shinkai is great director, but like I said, these days I can't handle too emotional stuff, it just makes me feel bad.

Btw, I think you should give Fate/Zero chance, simply because of Rider.

Wouldn't actually say I won't give them a try, but I surely won't start them until I have really run out of other good shows to watch
- Code Geass. Seems okay, but it's not a priority
- Clannad. The art style is really unappealing to me
- Love Life. I have nothing against idol shows, but they're really not among my go-tos, unless it has a really interesting plot.
- Deadman Wonderland. Might have watched it in my first year of being an anime fan, but I really doubt it being my shit now.
- Fate. Too. Many. Series. I really don't know where I should start and it doesn't really seem that rewarding. Maybe later
- Pokemon anime. I'm better off playing the games lmao
- Lupin. Seems pretty cool, but it's a pretty long franchise and I don't think I'd dive into it anytime soon
Well, these are a few I can think of. The thing is, once I started watching seasonals, it's pretty hard for me to actually watch older shows, so every time I pick up a new one, I want to actually enjoy it, rather than watching it just for the sake of it. Therefore, I need to filter out the series, and watch things I know I can fully enjoy, rather than taking a leap of faith and end up wasting my time. However, I don't intend of putting some of those series off, but I am well aware that I might not watch all the anime I want to in a lifetime so yolo.

I don't care the high scores and praise. Artwork is my first filter; it's the first thing impacting my enjoyment, so if I don't like it, with all certainty I'm not going to enjoy anything from the show.
i totally agree its the same for me. although my friends complained me so much so i decided to watch mojo's. And i have to so it is pretty good. the art style is btw gorgeous in golden wind

This thread is hilarious. I don't judge shows off impressions, opinions of others, or the genres they fall into. If I start a series, I'll know in a few episodes whether or not I'll like it enough to continue til the end. If it's shit, or doesn't interest me, I'll drop it. But the Makoto Shinkai comment was just ridiculous. If anything you should watch his works just to appreciate the painstaking level of detail put into the art. Kimi no Na wa definitely isn't my favorite, but it was a spectacular movie, and all I can say is that you're missing out. Not my problem though.

Hell, this isn;t even a discussion thread to begin with it was just some guy saying how close minded he was and some other people saw it as a chance to display how daft they were.

I don't like it because it's harem


I was the same until I, wait for it, actually gave some harem shows a chance. Turns out, they are somewhat enjoyable even if they lack the artistic quality of other shows in other genres.

I honestly can agree with all except Monogatari Series. That might be because it's my favorite series of all time and has the best characters that have ever been created period. So I'm a little bias. Understandable though to be honest.

Any long running anime series. I mean, fuck. I admire the users that can do shows that are over 100 episodes long, but I can barely do 25 episoders, I think I'll live without seeing the 'classics'.
