of the ones that would normally be right up my alley, there is really only one and that is Attack on Titan - I laughed so much when I first saw the titans, the mood was ruined and the characters and general plot didn't hook me after that, dragged myself thru 5 eps before dropping it

obviously I won't ever get into any of the popular CGDCT and school/romcoms cause I have a severe dislike for that genre

or any tearjerkers like Violet Evergarden, no matter how pretty something is, I don't do forced sad

Clannad: The show has no redeeming qualities, I have no idea why anyone would like it.

Nana: It's actually really good. The characters are interesting, the story is good, the music is good, and I think it gets the praise that it deserves, but for whatever reason I just can't get into it. I can't sit down and finish the show no matter how hard I try.

FMAB: I tried watching it multiple times, and while I get why people like it, I never was able to make it past the 2nd or third episode. I guess it's just not my cup of tea.

To be honest, I felt the same way. Not because it was popular. I still watched the whole thing though, and I kind of regret it.

Hunter x Hunter. I enjoyed a lot yuyu hakusho but man, what a downgrade from yuusuke to gon and all the characters. I saw some random episodes and some fights but it looks boring, that certain character death is lame. Togashi lost his marbles after yuyu hakusho, in fact the whole sensui arc and all those 4 gods arc was awuful.
I am not saying it's bad, I am saying it doesn't suit my taste.

Naruto. It was the first anime and manga I got into. While I was somehow able to finish manga I just couldn´t finish anime. It was very much a suffering for me since I find it boring and the cast very unlikable.

One piece - I've heard it praised so many times yet every time I look at it, I'm so repulsed that nah,I think I'll never bother. it having 10.000 episodes also doesn't help.

Mahoutsukai no yome - I watched 7-8 episodes but I just couldn't go on. Couldn't at all. There are nice things such as the visuals, the soundtrack and general lore and setting. And then there's the characters, which are deadly boring or even worse, royally annoying. I couldn't stand another minute of Chise whining about her past and how cruel and sad it was...I just had to give up. I keep telling myself to finish watching it but I don't know that the day will ever come.

Cop craft - on hold since episode 5 or so...I really like this sort of cop thing and while the animation could be abysmal, it was interesting. It just...heh, I don't know, I just left it for a while because I couldn't be arsed and I still can't.

Bunny senpai - watched the first 4 episodes and between both characters being extremely unlikable (to me, clearly) and so many people saying that it's basically like monogatari (which makes me wonder what they're smoking, given how bland AF this crap was compared to any monogatari series), I don't think I'll ever finish it. Can't say I'm broken over it.

Enen no shoubutai - what can I say, I thought at the beginning it would be something more centered around the supernatural than anything else...but at ep 7 or 8, when it had become blazingly clear that it was just another shounen through and through...heh, lost almost all interest.

Clannad and Clannad After Story. unattractive and undeveloped characters. forced drama. supernatural parts are not executed properly.

Clannad tries it best to be realistic. Especially in the arc after graduation. But the impression it left was artificial.

Well Magi.
I've tried watching it at least 3 times, the furthest I got was ep 12. It's so damn boring.

I'm struggling with Jojo right now. I'm at ep 3 of Part 1 and it's just so bad, but I saw people saying part 1 is bad and part 2 will be great but I'm not the type who watches something I don't enjoy. I usually drop these type of animes at ep 1/2/3 and move on. But now I'm trying hard with this because I've seen some funny parts and wanna get there.

Gintama was like this too for me, tried watching it and always stopped at the beginning, but then I pushed through and now it's my favourite anime.

I attempted to watch Ao no Excorcist more than once too, and always stopped after ep 1 or 2. Still trying...
Same for Durarara. But I gave up on that.

D-Gray Man: first stopped after ep 1, then got to ep 5 and stopped. It's so boring. My friend recommended it so I was trying but...

There is a lot more.

I guess i feel that way about the three shows i'm currently watching.
Shinsekai Yori - Very interesting premise, but i'm finding it difficult to get myself invested in it or care about any of the characters.
Nana - I love the dynamic between the two main characters, but most of the other characters i either dislike or just don't care about.
Gintama - I'm around episode 220 by now, and while it has had some great moments that has kept me invested in the world and characters, the majority of the comedy episodes feel like a complete drag that either rely on obscure knowledge of Japanese culture, or sometimes just toilet humor, the latter of which i dislike. Not to say i don't enjoy all the comedy episodes, because there are some that have genuinely made me laugh, but those are the minority.

Literally all of those shows are so highly praised by the few people who watch it. Maybe it's an acquired taste? That being said, the only one I've seen out of those is Lain and even then I couldn't get past episode 3.

I would also add Aria to that list.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: I can't stand Dio.
The Rising of the Shield Hero: For odd reasons I found it boring afte the nine first episodes.
The second season of One Punch Man: Same reasons, I found it boring even if I loved the first season.
Attack on Titan : the whole logic of the concept bothers me, haha. I don't know why but there are too many questions from the beginning for me to get into it.
Vinland Saga: I never saw the whole begin, to be honest, because I found it boring. I've only seen the last episodes and I loved them, haha.
Actually there are a looot of them.

Sadly, I haven't been able to really get into Cowboy Bebop. I really want to get into it sooo bad! Everyone just loves it so much and its also such a classic. I just... don't know... it doesn't really get me hyped up or excited for the next episode in any way. I have put it on hold as of now(7 episodes in) but I will definitely not drop it.

Re:Zero and Your Name are shows that are so highly praised that I so desperately tried to get into and research into why people thought of them so highly. I kind of got my answers, but it was just one of those things that I realised that I didn't quite get. I still kind of enjoyed them (mostly Your Name), but I definetely would probably never rewatch them for enjoyment

OMG do watch it!! Its the best season in the series! Its very worth it. But, I'm probably just hyping it up too much, being a fujoshi. *wink wink*

I just love MakuHaru soooooo much!!

But the second season is more than just that. It is relatable in a way and addresses the real confusion people have regarding their futures. Do watch it if you have the time.

I just wanted to encourage you to go ahead and watch Clannad. Its not that good, I will agree(probably a 7/10 at the most). But, it definitely VERY worth watching, just to watch Clannad After Story. I don't want to say anything, but it is a beautiful sequel! It was so magnificently beautiful that it is my favourite anime.

Monogatari is a weird series for me. I love it, but I find it way too difficult to follow at times. I only got to S2 before leaving it on hold.

I'd recommend Bunny Girl Senpai any day over Monogatari.

Re:Zero. I plan on trying it again when the new season is done. It will be my third attempt I think I got to about episode 16 last time so I made progress. The reason I cant get through it is Subaru. I just cant stand him but I really like some of the other characters and I like the plot, just not him.

I had to watch the first five episodes od Monogatari five times. I pushed myself to at least watch the rest of bake and somehow got into, even though I thought I never would.

And I have tried getting past s1 of Durarara three times already, but I just can't watch the other season I always end up dropping it.

Also Gintama a friend has been úersuading me to watch it for YEARS yet I always drop it after a few episodes.

Another one is Gurren Lagan, I just can't get into it no matter how ahrd I try.

GiTS SAC and Ergo Proxy. The technological concepts are interesting, but the characters are so damn boring and flat and the execution leads to a massive snorefest. Prefer by far stuff like Eden it´s an endless world and Policenauts, wich get the cyberpunk genre right, smart and fun.
