So... I kind of made decision to never watch these titles. I will never give them chance, no matter how high their score is.
Maneki-Mew said: I don't know, if I should try Haibane Renmai one day, because I didn't like some similar things. For example, I started Texhnolyze, but never got motivated to watch more than ca 5 episodes, although I really liked Ergo Proxy and found Serial Experiments Lain interesting at least. But I found this one and Lain (a little bit) dry and I might think that Haibane Renmai is dry too. Just saw your post. I can't stand Texh, love Lain and Ergo Proxy but I admit they can be heavy and weird for no real reason at times. None of that in Haibane Renmei, it's just one of the most beautiful stories ever written about depression and human relationships. Sad, but heartwarming somehow. |

| I remember you, you made that Xena topic. We all have shows we avoid, but you shouldn't form an opinion of a show based on nothing but the summary and other people's opinions. Monogatari was a clear example of why you shouldn't do that, you're basing your refusal off it being a harem, when most of us even forgot it was a harem. It's a very different show that you've pretty much painted with the same brush you did with Highschool DxD. You're free to like or dislike a show, and even avoid a show, but at least do so knowing what the shows are like. That's like avoiding Xena because "it's just a scantily clad woman there to be attractive". |
 |
| The only things I can confidently eliminate are sequels to things I dropped. Everything else is fair game. Anyhow, that's a pretty poor decision OP, that's a list full of good titles. |

Kyotosomo said: 2. I absolutely loathe Ecchi humor but even I have Highschool DxD on my Plan To Watch list. It's supposed to be a really good show even for Ecchi haters. I wouldn't say that. I like it fine enough, but I think it's just got more mainstream appeal than a lot of ecchi does, in a way. Lots of battle shounen-y elements that take the forefront sometimes, the ecchi is deceptively basic, but it's still quite a bit at the forefront. I kinda consider it less like a "even the people who don't like ecchi will like it" type deal and more of a "baby's first foray into ecchi" type thing, I guess. I kind of think of it like, Iunno, an SAO, AoT, or Naruto of this subset of anime. It caught popularity and recognition, especially with people who...kind of don't watch a lot of anime and just watch what manages to float to the top. It managed to float to the top because it kind of oil-and-water hybrids battle shounen-y stuff with ecchi stuff. Thus, it gets hyped because of that. Still, pretty sure most people I know who dislike ecchi still end up disliking DxD quite a bit xP I like it just fine and don't want to sound like I'm railing on it, but, yeeaaaaahhhhhh from the way you put it I kind of worry that it sounds like you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Like it's going to have some vastly differentiating quality or something from the standard, which I think might be a bit of a hard argument to press tbh ._. |

| I feel it's stupid to exclude potentially good shows by such rules. So I do not have any shows that I will absolutely not watch. There are many shows that I do not really feel like watching, and probably never will, but I won't say that I absolutely won't. If I get them recommended, I will check them out. I also do not have any such overly broad exclusion rules. That might just cause me to miss good stuff. I don't like harems, but I watch them occasionally if they seem good. Monogatari in particular also has little to no focus on harem, so it's very enjoyable in spite of its harem elements. I really dislike Yaoi or All Boys/fujo bait shows, but again, I don't exclude them. There are few that are good. Everything should be done on case by case basis. Also most shows have one male/female MC and several MCs of opposing genres, so you are excluding a lot of shows needlessly like that. Especially for shows that are actually popular and acclaimed, I would always give them a try if they look at least tiny bit interesting, even if they belong to genres that I generally do not like, since there is a reason why they are popular. |
| Cool. Now you can focus better on the 5000 anime you are going to watch. |
| 2019 and there are still people who think that Monogatari is a harem lul |

Psajdak said: 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. After reading through the list, you're honestly not missing much missing these titles to be honest. Though I am a fan of monogatari, I can't deny the harem undertones to it and I accept it's criticism. Just a matter of preference really. And yes, in your assumptions NGNL also is sort of a harem. |

| It's a shame that you take watching this stuff so seriously that you simply taught yourself not to enjoy some aspects of it. What's wrong with Re:Zero? Don't feel like being associated with a certain group of outspoken weebs? The show is pretty damn good /shrug I didn't even know who Reki was, but quick research tells me you've watched basically all you'll ever need to watch from Reki already so what was the point of even listing his name If you like the hentai fanarts, then you aren't too far off by just watching DxD your reasoning for not wanting to watch the haremgatari show bewilders me so... really don't know what to say..? your tastes in harem seems to be a bit off on the deep side. Is it alright if I come to you for hentai recommendations? Kimi no Na wa is definitely the guy's best work, but I can understand your reasoning for this one at least-- I more just disagree with you putting shows on a "Never watch" list. Recently watched No Game No Life and it definitely should replace "Harem" with "Entertaining as hell". The show isn't a harem. My guess is another harem show came along and let No Game No Life borrow the "Harem" tag (I'm looking at Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei). There's incest though so I highly recommend it |
| I will watch everything to avoid being a hipster roster. |
Psajdak said: Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, and everything related to it. Re:Zero is good. You actually feel like you accomplished something when you complete it. And the first major villain is hot. |

| I will never watch Sazae-san, I know just about that. I couldn't even if I wanted too though. |

| I.........I am not even sure what to say about this nonsensical "decision", but eh whatever, you do you, it's your choice. However, your statements about the series you mentioned feels like trying to make an objective point. You're not accomplishing anything beyond making enemies and grabbing negative attention with that sort of mindset. |

Have you seen the people in this thread? Calling it to bait and what not. Basically, this is the kind of thread most trolls would make. So I just kind of join to laugh at these threads. |
|
| @Deknijff @Catalano Not even the best girl of the show smh... OT: Ohhh so this is where this thread comes from. I love how you turned this blog post to a "discussion" at the end @Psajdak . |
| I'll never watch Monogatari franchise (watched bakemono-, nisemono- and kuro and I'm done), Fate franchise (watched stay night, bladeworks movie and zero, liked zero). And I'll never ever watch any damn shit from KyoAni |
 |
| The Monogatari things? Challenge accepted ! I'll end this horrible -looking trilogy prequel based on some uninteresting teen novel and start the TV show again right after. @Maneki-Mew Haibana has nothing to do with those other titles. The only common denominator is that the artist whose concept arts/dôjinshi served as base material for the TV show is the one who worked as original chara-designer for those series (along NieA_7 who is diametrically opposite to them, NHK ni yôkoso, All you need is kill) |
| I don't think you're missing out on much by skipping those anime, but you never know what you might end up liking. I didn't think i'd like Dragon Ball, but i gave it a chance and ended up loving it. It's always worth giving something a try, even if you think you won't like it. |
| @Psajdak I don't think the fact that DB is considered a classic by some people changes my point. It was a show i thought i'd hate, but ended up really liking because i gave it a try. But if you want more modern anime example of something i thought i wouldn't like, but ended up liking then there's Kemono Friends, Chihayafuru and Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon. |
| well you can never be sure of what you'll watch and what you won't watch......anything can happen and you can never judge an anime before you watch it.I also didn't like the Harem and fan service part in No Game No Life but other than that it was a solid watch. |
Psajdak said: For those who think this is bait thread, I think this could be relevant. How I actually write troll/bait threads. See, once you've admitted that you do start bait threads, your credibility is shot to hell. The fact that this doesn't look like those just means you've gotten better at it. Tactical error! |
| Not really. I mean, its impossible to watch/read everything you want which means that there's going to be a lot of stuff I'm going to miss out, and I should focus on things that do grab my attention rather than things that don't. But I won't refuse to watch anything, if something has enough praise I'll try to give it a check. Sure, there are things that I end up not enjoying all that much, but I won't regret watching it, even if it's to discuss it with people. |

So i'm not sure BUT i don't remember feeling like it was a harem anime when i watched it. ie i have watched a number of harem animes (disliked most esp the MC's and open endings) but no game no life gave me a more game feel (yes i know game is in the title). not sure how to explain it but watching it was more like beating a game world rather than which girl is best or w,e |
