So you are assuming that because something has a low score it is automatically and unequivocally bad?

I think you can watch them at least.They are not too bad as they are scored.

Depends on what constitutes a low score. I'll say anything in the 6.5 range or lower. (Or slightly higher, but not by much.)

- Centaur no Nayami

Very unique slice of life show. It definitely isn't perfect, but it actually does a lot of very interesting stuff that I wish more anime would do.

- Fushigi na Somera-chan

It's just silly as hell and that makes it worth watching imo. Fans of Teekyuu could probably find something to like about it.

- Koi☆Sento

It's just so bizarre. I gave it a 5/10, cause tbh it wasn't reeeeally that good. But I think it's worth a watch anyways. Especially since it's only one episode. There's so much potential there for it to be so much better than it is.

Beatless has a pretty low score, but I think it's because a lot of people who watched it seasonally (1) expected it to be something it actually isn't (specifically, they probably expected it to be action/romance when it's more philosophical) and (2) were put off by the timing of the episodes (since there are four recap episodes mixed in with the first 20 episodes, then the final four episodes were delayed for several months).

I think it's a masterpiece though.

Citrus, Cop Craft---I have reviews for both; the former in particular receives negative opinions that are founded on objectively false information.

If you say Citrus romanticizes assault or doesn't address the assault, you're wrong. It's not a matter of opinion or subjectivity, you are literally wrong.


Akuma no Riddle--this was a treat to watch. The ending was trash but the show was a really fun ride the whole way through. Its negative reception is something I just don't get.

Handshakers and W'z

They are well-received but I did enjoy them for what they are. They are decent enough to make me enjoy them.

However, I did enjoy Handshakers a little bit more than W'z. The first season was simple yet enjoyable. W'z is more complex yet felt very confusing, at times.

So, those my mini-review of both shows if you'd ever want to consider watching them.

Black Clover, its one lowest rated battle shounen anime(its rating only just started to rise pretty recently), but i'd still recommend it for any shounen fan. Its certainly better than what the initial reception was.

What is considered low score? Lower than 8 already or lower than 6 only? Nowadays I think 7 isn't even low anymore and 6.x is where the new low starts.

Though I have som older showas that back then already got 6.x only.

Nice opening song. Great samurai action without it being otome-game crap. The guys looked "too manly" though for most people's taste. Watchable if you like samurai stuff and don't care about "too much manliness".

Ugly and disgusting char ... fings in his nose and stuff like that. Really disgusting at the biginning. Char design stays at that level. Gut good development of the char and showint a more classical sumo sports world than the more shounen-like Hinomaro Zumou in a world of early 19xxs after WW2. (There are no smartphones/internet yet.)

Kaze no Na wa Amnesia, are you curious on what will happen to Earth if everyone lose their own memories? I think this one's worth giving a shot if you could handle old anime. It's not that good but it has a very interesting plot.
Mad Bull 34, here we go again, I'm suggesting one of my favorite comedy. Just like the first one, if you could handle old anime, this one's worth giving a try. It's a very hilarious anime that contains matured-related comedy stuffs and scene. On top of that, although it has bad graphics (what do you expect from 90s?) it's very violent.

Define low score. Like, anything under a 5? Some people would argue anything under a 7 is bad.

School Days, it gets a lot of hate but it's definitely worth the watch no matter how much you like it imo. Ousama Game and Pupa are similar, they're bad but the right kind of bad.

Short series tend to have lower scores than full length ones so don't skip them just because the score seems low.

Maybe Hatsukoi Monster. But is is made for a VERY specific audience. There are not many people that enjoy yaoi jokes, poop jokes, psycho women and siscon jokes at the same time. Also you can't watch it expecting romance and plot. The voice cast is totally solid though.

I'd recommend it because it is really short and it made me laugh with its extravagant moments. I think one of the main reasons why it has such a low score is because of the non existent animation and crappy art, thought I think it sometimes helped accentuate its comedy so I didn't mind.

First you're going to need to tell me what you consider to be a low score. A lot of people on this site rate only on a 7 to 10 or 8 to 10 scale, thus making anything below a 7 or 8 a "low score anime" to them. To me, a low score anime would be anything below a 5 and I don't think there's anything on that range that has any redeemable qualities.

Digimon Tamers, the score is not that low, but it deserves a higher one, a well written series and somehow complex for a kids show, the best part is that you don't need to watch the previous two series. Also, Hakaba Kitaro, it's a shame the low score (well, almost all the other GeGeGe no Kitaro series have scores below a 7), it's short, gloomy and pretty enjoyable imo.

Seconding OniAi. I'll quote one of the top reivews:

Guilty pleasures...things you know are bad but like them regardless. This show would have to be one of my biggest guilty pleasures of 2012. So generic, so predictable, yet funny and entertaining at the same time.


I mostly agree, except I'd add that being unoriginal or predictable doesn't make something bad. OniAi is absolutely based on cliches, but the execution is so good that it doesn't matter. If the comedy fits your taste, there's a good chance you'll love OniAi. The art is fantastic too.

The English dub of Garzey's Wing. It's so bad it's absolutely hilarious, a joy to watch for all the wrong reasons. Terrible voice acting, bizarre pacing... One of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Shitcom. A short, crass claymation that tells a single extended poop joke. I really have no idea what people were expecting from it, I thought it was very good at what it does. Sort of like a Robot Chicken sketch, but funny. :P

idk if you count Kare Kano as having a low score but Kare Kano if you consider 7.64 a low score


Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything…
Wouldn’t that be great?

Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince: Mecha at it´s core. Simple story, insane CG action.

Plastic Nee-san: one of the most hilarious anime I have seen.

School days: I honestly like it. It is pretty much the opposite of a regular harem or romance anime.

School days, It's a pretty cool psychological and the only "criticisms" I see are people complaining about how the characters are terrible people (which isn't a real criticism). Some moments are pretty exaggerated or unrealistic but they are at least logical within the context of the characters and it's nothing more exaggerated than the usual romance/drama.

Yama no Susume is the prequel to my favourite anime and despite being well written and having super pretty backgrounds it only gets a 6.8 on MAL.

Urahara has a realistic depiction on the stress that goes through creator's minds when their stuff isn't as successful as it ought to be. The anime also has a nice pastel palette which I think is pretty. I guess I must be in the minority for liking it, though, because it has a 5.8.

Hoshi Neko Fullhouse is a fun old space OVA about a perverted and lonely spaceship captain who has the opportunity to save a ship full of pretty girls. That might sound like the premise for a harem, but the girls only take advantage of his generosity without any plans to do any romantic favours for him. It's not an amazing anime, but I think it at least deserves more than the 5.9 it gets on MAL.

I feel like I'm repeating myself as I'm sure I saw a thread with an identical question a couple of days ago!? Cat Planet Cuties, it doesn't have the best score (6.76), but it's a great show imho. I absolutely loved it and gave it a 10/10 (only the 6th show that I've given a perfect score to), the cute cat girls (boobs but only now and then, not senseless gratuity), the witty plot, everything about the show. Check it out ^_^
