Most boring? I guess that would be Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu. No matter if you recently become a fan of Haruhi Suzumiya stuff, but you shouldn't force yourself through that show. The slice of life ratio is tuned up to like 95% and even if you like slice of life stuff, you will get bored and blame yourself for sitting through all of its episodes. You also won't know anything new about the series in it. The only good aspect I found in it was how they showed a better side of Asakura Ryouko.

Its Hikigaya Hachiman from Oregairu.
Talks shit supposedly wanting something genuine when he himself can't give it.
Has a huge sis-con and his Sister is not very hot too.
The girls are completely bland especially Yukinon the ice-princess bitch.

I think the people who love it must go and die in hell.

Hyouka. Mystery tag on that anime is an insult to every other mystery anime.


Took the words out of my mouth. Hyouka is a snooze fest.

Runner ups for me are;

Haruhi, especially the endless eight


Don't even remind me. I've watched that thing for a whole week. I even know some hardcore Haruhi fans who can't stand that arc.

By far ore no seishun love comedy.
there's nothing wrong with it, it's a decent show art wise and sound wise, but story wise and character wise it is boring as hell and the main characters feel ripped right out of the monogatari series.

Boku dake ga Tomodachi ga Sukanai S2 and Infinite Stratos have been the most boring anime I've ever seen.

Sukinai S1 was alright funny, but it really is a turn off when most of the comedy scenes are no more funny and you're just staring there on the screen watching the characters dance around for almost zero reason.
Again, IS S1 was alright-ish, but the tropes took over so heavily that all those character interactions had no meaning whatsovever and their contribution to the story plot was zero, while the comedy was meh.

It's not like heavily trope-based anime are always a big negative for me though. In Asterisk Wars, while the characters were generic at most, the plot running side by side keep me engaged. It becomes tedious for me if the harem fawns a bit too much on the MC for almost no reason, with individual characters' growth being completely ignored.
I supposed Youkosou Jitsuryoku e Shugi somewhat fulfils all these conditions, but then the mystery surrounding the MC was somewhat engaging.

fairy gone and katsugeki/touken rabun. was on my phone majority of the time watching these


also irregular at magic high school. characters were nothing special but the main problem was that i just didnt get the abilities and power system. which made the whole explanation and things that were MEANT to be cool incredibly boring.

I feel slightly guilty about this, but Hyouka failed to get me into it. It's weird, I usually like KyoAni's stuff, but I don't think I got grabbed by either the mysteries or characters. Okay, I like Oreki, but Chitanda's "I'm curious" act got on my nerves pretty quickly.

"You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru)

Just to list a couple of biases.
Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice.
Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing.

Not the most but 3 gatsu makes me go zzzzzz. Not sure if I can finish it.


That’s one of my favorites :(
Explain?

Not entirely sure that's been hard to pinpoint for me. Some slow paced slice of life shows are some of my favorites and others make me go zzzzzzz. This one makes me go zzzzzz. A lot of the scenes where the wind rushes in and it drifts off to scenery before it takes the mc 10 seconds to open his mouth can be pretty but I don't see anything behind its aesthetic and there is only so much of that I can take. A lot of the character interactions are too "anime" for me and especially its comedy is something that turns me off. Yeah that's all I can remember from my reaction. Last time I tried to pick it up again was 3 months ago, and I started this show when it first aired. The show didn't do anything too remarkable for me.

Probably Amnesia. Wouldn't have finished it if not for the fact that I was watching it with a friend.
Edit: Forgot about Hetalia. As much as like the manga, I can't help but yawn while watching the anime.

That shitty ecchi harem show that starts with Monogatari and ends with Series.


Elaborate on how it’s bad.... I only watched bakemonogatri though


Because it's really just a shallow harem show with an excessive amount of unnecessary ecchi. At first I took the series seriously and I was concentrated to read all the dialogue and text until I realize that basically all of these are just superfluous and served no other purpose than flashing obnoxious "art" to the viewer.

Bakemonogatari was the one I enjoyed the most because I didn't yet realize how shallow this show is and how one dimensional the characters truly are.

There's also the fact that the story is too abstract to make any sense. It's hard to feel concerned when everything happens because oh supernatural things doing supernatural things.

I slept too much on this show.

Yeah yeah this is mainstream I know, but...

Boruto is one of the most non interesting anime I ever tried to watch. I stuck with it for 100 episodes because it's the only thing after Naruto I haven't watched yet.

But goddamn, I couldn't give a fuck about any of the characters throughout every arc. The only redeeming factor is that Sasuke had some interesting interactions with his daughter and that dope as fuck Momoshiki fight.

Even then, that Momoshiki fight was only good because it relied on Sasuke and Naruto.

That being said, I really do hope they manage to bring it back somehow. I'm still willing to think they can make it interesting with further plot developments. Let's hope for the best I suppose.

Season 2 of Spice and Wolf.

Felt like too much of a rehash of the first even in terms of dialogue, introduced irrelevant side characters for 2-3 episode mini arcs which you had no reason to care about yet took up the whole season, and then to top it all off the season ending on a cliffhanger with nothing meaningful resolved or advanced for the season or the entire series to this day.


I mean, I would argue the second season had the same appeal as the first, and I definitely don't think the ending was unmeaningful or unresolved.



And then there's the source material which actually did have an ending, which is pretty much exactly what you would guess from the end of season 2.


What you say? You tellin' me that Mayo Chiki is boring?


Nah I'm kidding. The butler looking one is not interesting enough to place an anime around. Still, I watched it to the end.... for some reason. The ecchi scenes weren't even that good.

Oh wow. Yeah. I thought the same thing too. I loved the art style, the characters were cute and the comedy was alright, but... I just couldn't keep watching it.

I can't put my finger on why, I guess I just didn't care about their lives enough to keep watching.

Do you think maybe I should give it another try? Am I being too harsh?

I'm watching Tamako Market and even that's more interesting man.

"Don't worry Mia, you will like the episodes after those"

"Keep watching, after bla happened the episodes will be so much more meaningful and less filler-y"

So I kept watching and waited.... And then the Part was over >.<

I'm the wrong person to ask I hated Non Non xd. I imagine if you thought the girls were cute and that's all that matters to you then finish it, but me personally I didn't like the comedy either so I just ended up hating it.

Yeah I forgot about that one. Super boring, dunno why it's so highly rated. Some episodes consist entirely of the cast sitting around a table trying to unravel the conspiracy behind incredibly mundane events not even worth thinking about like:

Hyouka for me. I finished the whole show and I just found it extremely dull. These days however I drop shows as soon as they start boring me, so there's probably more boring ones out there, I just haven't experienced them to say for sure.

Another show that bored me is Shiguru Death Frenzy. I felt like nothing happened in the few episodes I watched.

One of the first mysteries was a guy smoking. I remember thinking "ooh, he's smoking pot!" but nah, it turns out he's just smoking cigarettes. What kind of boring underwhelming resolution is that? That's when I started realizing how much Kyoani is a fantasy land, nothing bad happens, smoking cigarettes is a huge fucking deal. Don't tell me "that's just how it is in japanese schools", doesn't change the fact that as a plot device it's underwhelming and boring as fuck.

Not sure if I should put this in spoiler tags forgive me if I ruin the entire show for everyone but the reason the math teacher asked the wrong question in class is...get this...
