| Hunter x Hunter (2011). Being a fan of the original version (1999), which was unconcluded, I obviously wanted to like the continuation. But after seeing the direction the show took after the end of Greed Island arc, I had to withdraw of the party. Couldn't buy it. So much that I like believing the show ended with the conclusion of said arc. |
| Jojo. There is a LOT about it that I like. Especially the powers of the villains, they are really creative and interesting. But what I can't get past is the glacial pacing. The fights are narrated slideshows that move at a snails pace. I get that manga with those complex concepts might need narrating to help the reader understand what is going on. But an animated show should actually show that stuff instead of constantly freezing time to explain everything going on. I gave it a fair shot, hoping it would improve. I watched the first 2 seasons, so about 20 something episodes. But that slowness just kills it for me. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Cowboy Bebop honestly. Fucking crucify me. The episodic format just made it feel boring. Maybe I shouldn't have binged it. Also I have no class so Jazz isn't my thing. And I wasn't rly that fond of the tone shift at the end. |
| Naruto I guess. Ever since Boruto was released I kind of just dumped the entire series. |
| i wanted to get into code geass but the first episode was so damn boring i couldn't keep watching, i also really hate the artstyle |
 |
| Fate Zero and Violet Evergarden probably |
 |
| Nice thread. Mine would be: - SAO Really excited when it first begun. And now it's such a popular show and I really wish I'm part of the hype now. But I just can't bring myself to like it after the disaster in S1. But mainly because I find the main characters to be boring. I also heard how pretty much everyone fell for Kirito, which is a huge turn off. - Tate no Yuusha With all the hype and how popular it is, as always, I wanted to be part of it. But I couldn't stand the stupid characters and the lolis. Had to drop it at ep 8 iirc. - Monogatari I find Shinobu interesting and wanted to know more about her. I also find the animation and scenes pretty good and iconic. But I admit it can get pretty boring I couldn't get past S1. - Black Clover As a fan of battle shounen and seeing how BC has grown so popular lately, how I wish to be a part of the fandom. But damn, nothing about it seemed to hook me. Something is lacking. Pretty sure it has to do with the characters. - Inuyasha Too bitter about Kikyo's death (even though technically she already dead since day one, lel) - Berserk Firstly, I got spoiled. Secondly, can't get over the old art style. But I have a feeling it's a great story that I should pick up eventually. I love Griffith from what I've seen so far (I know, he is the big bad guy). - LOGH Especially after seeing the newer releases, I really want to start the series but damn, it's hard to get over the old art style. - D-gray Man I watched like a dozen episodes of it and stopped. I'll probably pick it up again. But no motivation so far. Idk, maybe I expect too much. None of the character are interesting enough to hook me. - Steins;Gate Uwahh you have no idea how I wish I can enjoy this series. I mean, I enjoyed it. It was fantastic. But damn, I just don't like Kurisu okay. - Mob Psycho 100 Considering how lively the BL side of the fandom is, I wish I can enjoy it. But gosh, the art is such a turn off haha. - Fate Look how large the fandom had gotten throughout the years. I wish I'm part of it. But I couldn't even finish Fate/Zero. Something about it kind of bore me. - Naruto I'm sick of the main three MCs and couldn't stand them anymore, so I dropped it. Wish I could stay because how huge the fandom is, and I do have some favorite characters in it. But then they killed and ruined them for no reason. That sealed it. Never coming back to this series. I'll add more if I remember more. Pleasant_pancake said: Klad said: i tried to like One Piece after the time skip but just couldn't. The Dressosa arc got so messy and boring I had to give up on it. Yeah, it also happened to me. The Dressrosa arc have a very interesting plot and Doflamingo is such a good villain, but this arc have way too many episodes, and in most of them doesn't happen absolutely anything. I don't know how I mannaged to end it, but now I'll be resting of One Piece for some time. I also put it on hold during Dressrosa arc. Some episodes literally just the characters running around ffs. The pace had been awful especially since Punk Hazard. Though the story itself is top notch as always imo. So I'll definitely come back to binge watch when I have A TON OF TIME to spare, lol. |

| monogatari series after bake and kizu and kimetsu no yaiba |
| If you rated Jujutsu Kaisen a 10/10, then your opinion is not valid. AOT>FMAB |
| Katanagatari - loved the characters and artstyle. Then came the last episode which ruined me for several days. |
 |
| Mo Dao Zu Shi, it assumes too much that you, the viewer, are already are knowledgable with the material. Establishing the world is but an afterthought. Cannot watch it more than 5 episodes. |
 |
| It would be Kingdom I liked the story but I don't like the characters specially the main character he was damn annoying. |
 |
| Hitman Reborn, I CANNOT get into it. Even after 20+ episodes. I really want to like it though, so I'll keep trying/rewatching it here and there. |
| woah there |
| Mob Psycho- I can't get past 3rd episode. It was hella boring for me I didn't get the hype that the community always talks about. One Punch Man- This is much worse, OPM is a lackluster for me. |
 |
| Quite easy : One Piece, Naruto, Dragon ball, any Gundam just too many episodes. Bleach was fine if we skipped fillers (half of episodes), but even without fillers One Piece is more than 800 episodes, give me a break, this is 20% of the total episodes I have seen in my life... So I will probably never even try to check these shows (so far 0 episode of either). I also dropped Ginga Eiiyuu Densetsu after 50 episodes or so; it is good, but the pacing was too slow and I got bored. Might check it again later eventually, but it has been a year already. The Chimera Ant arc of HxH almost made me drop it, especially at the end with the unbearable narrator and horrible pacing (not even speaking about the atrocious OST which did not change in 148 episodes: where did the money go?); was it really the best arc of the series? Still, I wanted to finish it to understand the hype of this website about it, and the funny comparisons with SnK S3P2. |
ChocoPuni said: As many others have said, Fairy Tail. I've watched a couple of episodes and so far it didn't click with me, like it was fun to see the change in the story but I feel like the anime thinks you're "on board" way too soon and just keeps going like an unstoppable train. It's a good anime for sure but might not be for me. We'll see, I'll give it another 20 episodes. Talgikiwi said: Fairy Tail!!!!! I'm so annoyed that I notice all the flaws. Normally I can ignore quite a bit for the sake of entertainment and good characters but I just can't with Fairy Tail. (I'm saying this after being 70+ ep in so I gave it a fair chance) Not sure if anyone pointed this out but I feel like Fairy Tail's problem is not that it's a bad anime (manga) - it's definitely not bad - but the fact that it seems like it tries too hard to be like One Piece, or at least on the same scale with One Piece... Nah it has nothing to do with the fact that its trying to be like One piece.....it's just plain bad. |
 |
| 3-Gatsu no Lion - The way they drew the mouths is incredibly off-putting (I can't help but think of the characters as lion-frogs constantly grimacing in abject despair), most of the characters are boring (I liked Nikaidou and that's it), and worst of all, the plot is very, very dull. I tried so hard to keep watching, thinking maybe it got better after a few episodes, but I gave up when I realized I was genuinely shuddering in revulsion every time I saw a closeup of the MC. It takes a lot to get that reaction from me. Gintama - I can tell it's not bad, but it's just not my kind of humor, so although I'd like to like it as much as everyone else does, I can't. I read the manga up to the part with the giant octopus (chapter 60 or so?) and realized I wasn't having fun. Watched the first epsode of the anime in hopes that it would be better animated--like, comic timing or performances or something making it funnier--but it wasn't, so... Kekkai Sensen - I don't know what happened--either I missed a crucial line of dialogue or something, but I ended up so confused about what was going on that I found myself repeatedly drifting off and not paying attention. Which made me even more confused. @_@ MCHKenshin said: MHA season 4 feels so bad, it is nowhere near the previous seasons. Agreed, kind of--I'm a manga reader, and the Overhaul arc is my least favorite there too. Pretty sure it's generally considered to be the worst in the series. ...It's actually better in the anime, I think. But after this (well, after the next mini-arc and YMMV on the one after that, both of which are good but IMO nothing special) come some of the best arcs in the series. Season 5 is going to be absolutely amazing. |
| Mine are: - Tokyo Ghoul - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Hyouka - Bungou Stray Dogs They're quite boring and to be honest I didn't really care much about the characters. |
"If you think you can talk your way out of this one, by all means please do." - Near |
| Most of those on my dropped list. I don't go often into an anime expecting or wanting it to be bad. |
Pleasant_pancake said: In my case is the movie Garden of Words. I love Makoto Shinkai other works, but I just didn't understand this one. The visuals are incredible, but that's the only positive thing I could gather, for me it was only a succesion of scenes without a clear meaning. It's a short movie, and I hqve watched it twice, but I almost felt asleep in both cases. I know what you mean. My friend who is big into films loved it and I just didn't understand. The art and music is nice tho |

| For me it's Mirai. When I first saw that this movie was the anime that got nominated for "best animated film" for the Oscars, and a bunch of other nominations (i.e. Crunchyroll), I put this movie at a really high standard. However, once I got around watching it, I just couldn't stand how Kun was written, and found it more aggravating and annoying more than anything remotely nostalgic. However, I do acknowledge this film, its themes, some of its characters, and scenes are well made, leading to my mal score. However, needless to say, as "the anime film" nominated at the Oscars, I can't help but feel disappointed. |
 |
| Black Clover - I tried so hard to like it because I kinda miss battle shounen and I'm running out of really good ones. But it's just so disappointingly average imo. Dropped the anime, but I'm on CH. 93 in the manga. I heard it gets better but I think I am being lied to... Hoshiai no Sora - I didn't mind that it wasn't much about sports. At first it was cathartic to see themes of abuse and neglect be presented so earnestly by an anime. But it felt like these themes weren't being explored or developed. It started to feel shallow, like they were just ticking off the boxes and didn't plan on really exploring family or trauma through these characters. The show didn't have good tennis matches to fall back on either. I dropped it after the 10th episode but I don't think the final 2 would change much. This show should have been planned for 24 episodes instead. Gundam - I liked IBO. I finished the first Gundam Seed, got halfway through 00, and nearly finished Gundam Wing. I didn't like Seed, Wing was good until characters stopped feeling like actual people, and by 00 I got tired of gundam's recurring themes, character archetypes, and everything else about the writing that I can't appreciate. But GOD the machines are cool as fuck. Code Geass - Giving it another try right now. I'm halfway through the 1st season, and I see why people like it. The plot really carries the story, and the alternate setting could be cool. I even got used to the art style. But man, the individual characters are so uninteresting to me. It's so plot-heavy, but if I don't care about any characters, how should I care what happens next? |
-Blue_Bird-Jan 19, 2020 12:57 PM
| Maybe Mushishi? I was pretty disappointed when I found out I didn't absolutely love it. I thought it was going to blow me away. But I really don't dwell on shows when I discover I'm not that into them. I just move on. |
"Wonder is always difficult until you forgive whoever destroyed your love of surprises" — Edmond Manning  |
| Fire Force is another series that I tried to like but the story and its characters didn't click with me. I didn't buy in Shinra wanting to be a hero because it was cringe worthy. I ended up dropping the series after eight episodes because I found Fire Force to be just painfully average compared to Demon Slayer and Dr. Stone. |
 |
| Surprising number of people have said JoJo's. Honestly, I had no idea the series was so divisive. Best answer for me would be Ergo Proxy. I've tried twice to watch this show from start to finish. The first time, I made it nine episodes before I gave up, the second time I made it twelve. I like cyberpunk. I like Re-l's character design (in fact I like all the character designs), but the visual design, the animation and the pacing are all so, so ugly and boring. Another option; High School DxD. I always hear people saying it's an ecchi with an actual proper good plot, and I want to believe them because, believe it or not, I like it when shows are good and sexy, but every time I try to give it another shot (mainly out of horniness tbh), I immediately remember "oh yeah, I remember why I hate this fucking show" and stop watching halfway through episode 2. |

What exactly do you mean by "get over the old art style" for series like Berserk and LOGH? Is the art style somehow considered bad? Is there anything in particular you find bad about it or do you just mean that old = synonymous with bad automatically? This seems like it would impose a severe limit and restriction on the shows you can enjoy as every show and film ever made will be old eventually. Would you stop enjoying or seeing merit in them just because time has passed? There are things of tremendous value created in every era. I never understood this old = bad mentality. To me, old isn't bad, new isn't good, old isn't good, new isn't bad. Things can be evaluated on the basis of their individual merit. |

| FLCL. I just don't get why people think it's so great, I found it incredibly boring, it took me forever to just watch 6 chapters. |
| Boku no Hero Academia. I really wanted to like it because I enjoy many superpower battle shonen, but it is just so mediocre and average at best. None of the characters are interesting and are just a bunch of walking cliches, and the story has very little direction. It's not horrible but it's not great. |

It's pretty much personal reason. But all hope not lost yet because I can get used to art style eventually. Just like Madoka Magica. At first the character design kinda a turn off. I'll probably pick those up again eventually. |

| Since I'm fresh out the oven, Shingeki no Kyojin. I like the story and I keep following it just to see how much crazier it gets, but I never managed to care about any of the characters, and so all those character-focused episodes and drama just gets lost on me. Because of that, season 3 part 2 ended up being a considerable chore for me and I didn't like how it went as much as I expected after the first part. Monogatari. Bake and Second Season were great, but all the other seasons were a big hit and miss for me. For the most part, I think the series spiralled into blatant exposition for the sake of it since the show had built its reputation upon that. I felt like the writing became lazier and lazier. Because of that I kinda gave up on it, even though the series had a pretty big impact on me. Jojo Stardust Crusaders. I liked every other season I watched, but I couldn't stand this one. I didn't like any of the characters except for Joseph and the fights were extremely boring since Araki was still getting the hang of it I guess. I'm yet to watch the second part but frankly, I don't want to. |

Back then there was only F/SN (which I already finished), F/UBW movie (which I already watched too), and F/Z part 1 & 2. I think I've watched the first part only. I went on hiatus for a couple of years and now there were so many Fate anime, lol. Guess I'll check those you mentioned first if I have time :3 I'm more worried whether I'd be still alive when One Piece finally finished, lol. I'm the type that binge stuff too, waiting for it to be finished first. Tho One Piece is the only exception for me. |

| Demon Slayer. Watched the whole thing and thought only toddlers would find it enjoyable. |
 |
| Code geass 2nd season and so on.. It's one hell of trainwreck and I ended up hating all the characters too as the result. I used to love Gintama until the part where they want to save Elizabeth. There's gundam and all that in that arc. Since that I slowly not liking the story and the comedy also made me bored. |
Agent_Redacted said: Naruto I guess. Ever since Boruto was released I kind of just dumped the entire series. Naruto and Shippuden are the greatest things to ever happen in anime, objectively speaking. Boruto is a mistake that shouldn't exist. |
