I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free.

I haven't watched Tsukihime, but I definitely agree with you on Fate Stay Night. It's flawed admittedly when compared to Ufotable's adaptations, but it's still a good show imo. And the OP is the best in any Fate anime.

Its very controversial considering the entire plot of the show but the whole "lewd artist who's agoraphobic trying to make friends and join the real world" hit very close to home for me so it held a special spot in my heart. Plus the OP and ED are bops

As already mentioned it's usually the other way around (rave shows that are like "wtf, really?"). Anyway:

Akuma no Riddle -- This gets a lot of hate whenever it comes up as a topic (with it's MAL rating of 6.61 as evidence of that). Solid 7 score for me.

xxxHOLiC -- Actually it's relatively well liked but I heard a lot of griping about the "noodle people" art style before watching it -- it just took a few episodes to get used to it, that's all. I had more issue with the male mc simping so much over the female love interest (but not enough of an issue not to give a mix of 7 & 8's to the various seasons).

Darling in the FranXX -- Same comments as others have mentioned. My score for it was an 8 most of the way and I did think of deducting a point for some of the cringier stuff in the latter half but at the end of the day I kept it at 8.

LotGH Reboot -- Not necessarily hate per se but it does seem to get a lot of undeserved elitist hand-wringing over it. Although I started with 7 scores for it I've since upped the latter releases to 8's. The original LotGH I've given mostly 9's for but I'm thoroughly enjoying the reboot.

I still prefer the original character designs (a lot of the mc's in the reboot look too young and a lot of others just seem off for whatever reason -- and not because they didn't match the original, but certain character designs just bug me, period); I prefer the classical BGM of the original; and, although the ships and space battles of the reboot are an improvement over the original they are rather too CGI and antiseptic. The Yamato reboot did a much better job of making the space battles look like anime rather than CGI.

Those are the reasons I still give the original the edge but to be fair the reboot actually did some scenes better, expanded on a few others and even added a few (like the Mittermeyer release from military arrest business).

Fairytails motto is being called trash.
People complain about the power of friendship in it but it's actually a common troupe in most shounen, you really think Luffy isn't fighting for the straw hat pirates or Naruto fighting to save sasuke. The random power boosts also happen in other shounen also, it's just less obvious since the main theme of Fairytail is friendship which is a hit or miss since it can be annoying for some people but a nice change of pace for others.

Aku no Hana. Aware many were turned off by the anime's use of rotoscoping for its animation. While I do think its use has some hiccups visually at points, the more realistic-looking details and movement offered up from the animation method has its moments that enhance how uncomfortable a number of scenes in Sawa and Takao's interactions with one another can be.

A lot actually. Domestic Girlfriend is one of them. People shit on it, and rightfully so since it is trashy a lot of the time and the ending sucks, but it does have its moments. I still liked it. It's my guilty pleasure

There's is no shame in liking Domestic Girlfriend, be thankful for having found such a pristine dumpster fire, and rejoice in having the quality taste to love it!
Like seriously, it's flawed, very flawed, no argument there, but it's also the biggest emotional roller coaster I ever encountered.


I gotta agree that Domestic GF is some entertaining bullshit. I like watching hyper serious animes because even a tiny bit of humor blows it up. Domestic GF knows it's playing for horni laughs but keeps all the characters straight-faced. It's too much.

This is the reason I stopped asking people for anime or manga recommendations. As someone who didn't enjoy Code Geass past season one, I forced myself to watch more "because it's the best anime ever" and it almost ruined anime for me entirely.

Mecha is currently a criminally underrated genre. Most people think of it as just toy advertisements (except one of the three I mentioned, "they aren't mecha because they are about LE CHARACTERS"), while in reality most of them are just very fun sci-fi romps with maybe a few smart things along the way.

I started watching Gundam 00, and there is so much techno babble in it, that would really only interest people into the toys. Those scenes could be skipped for a faster pacing, to get to some interesting part, because I'm not yet fully committed to dropping it, but I started watching 2 other shows I'll probably drop too.

Didn't say it was for everyone m8, but hey at least you tried. You probably just don't find sci-fi trappings interesting.
Technobabble is really ment for people who are into mecha design appreciation, kinda like how there are military geeks who are into weapon and vehicle designs. And no it's really not meant to sell the toys, those (in this case the Gunpla model kits) usually come if the show proves itself in the ratings area.

A certain Magical Index.
I don't even really disagree. It is 100% trash but it’s also strangely entertaining.


That is my favorite series, also Railgun is much better compared to Index, it is where this series truly shines and Railgun T is one of top rated animes, but to me they were all great. Also Index got a lot better later to me and season 3 of index is my favorite even tho I heard it was kind of rushed, but I know nothing about manga or LN so it was great to me, just first few episodes we little confusing to me until you figure out what is going on. U should continue watching index just for more Misaka scenes, she is best girl and Accelerator is the coolest character. speaking of Accelerator, also watch Taoru Kagaku no Accelerator, it's great, but watch it before going into season 3 or Railgun, but after season 3 of Index. Btw I hope you watch everything subbed, voice actors are rly what makes this characters so great.

Every anime that is rated below 7 and I have bunch of those like:

Citrus (one of the best yuri animes)

Assassin's Pride (insanely underrated, I enjoy it a lot, we need season 2!!!)

Seven Deadly Sins (which is my recent favorite, I absolutely love it, insanely good music, decent animation and everyone is saying it has slide show animation, sure first season had better animation but that doesn't mean it is terrible later. Most important scenes have great animation and I think story and characters are more important than animation and that is where seven deadly sins shines. It has amazing romance which is one thing I care the most in anime. Sure if this anime was animated by some better studio it would probably be one of the top rated series, but that doesn't mean it's bad the way it is. Also white blood thing that everyone cries about was only in first 2 or 3 episodes of season 3 and that season has the best story and character development.

Kuzu no Honkai (one of my favorites, music, characters and everything is top tier, I had no idea I would enjoy it so much and there is short sequel manga called Kuzu no Honkai Decor and it gives it a nice ending, would love if they make anime of it)

Domestic no Kanojo (yes ending sucks, but I can't deny that enjoyed it a lot, Rui best girl)

Redo of Healer (let's just say it's better than hentai, there is nothing else you need to know, I enjoyed it very much)

Higehiro (absolute masterpiece)

To Love Ru (one of the best ecchi animes that gets better with every season, starting with when they introduce Momo and Nana. Momo best girl. Story gets actually great in To Love Ru Darkness. MC kind of sucks, but it's worth watching just for girls, they are all great.

There are probably more of them that I have, but I don't wanna make too long list and I'm also too lazy to search which ones have low rating since I gave most of them high so it's hard.

Btw I watch all animes subbed and I rate all anime purely based on enjoyment. I am so pissed when I see someone give anime rating 1 or even anything below 5, but I am so mad when I see 1 especially on one of my favs. There is no anime that deserves anything below 5 unless it's rly that bad, but every anime has at least something that is decent or unique cuz no anime is the same.

I was told Elfen Lied is trash because it's "pointless gore in the sake of gore" but i watched it anyways and now it's my favorite. That person failed to see the meaning behind the story (which is also beautiful imo), it's about xenophobia and genocide
Actually, i like bloody gore anime full of violence, that's my guilty pleasure

yea mine too, I have a friend who keeps telling me he has nothing to watch and that all the new anime that come are same generic shit and that there is nothing interesting. He switched to manga completely, but even there he only reads some isekai's or something like that. He is the type of guy who dislikes anything with school setting, SOL or romance cuz he says he is not is school anymore and he wants something where characters are grown up so he can imagine himself being like that one day which is a weird reason to limit yourself like that. He is also the person that called CSM a boring manga and dropped it and that is one of top rated mangas. He has very weird taste that I can't rly understand and he limits himself a lot and then he says that I have shit taste, I watch basically everything and can find enjoyment in almost any anime as long as it's not pure horror and gore, that is the only thing I dislike.

Well, for context, I have read the Horus Heresy series of Warhammer 40k. That's 50+ heavy light novels. (novels for short)
And technobabble enjoyers and mecha toy buyers sounds like the same demographic...

I remember getting into an argument with someone because they were criticizing the anime community for the way they rate things. He tried to say my opinions were invalid because I rated shows like Naruto a 10/10. I'm not looking for people to agree with my ratings or to take my opinions about certain anime I enjoy as factual about their quality. I'm just quantifying my experience and enjoyment with those anime. But in this community, it's hard to have an opinion about anything without people feeling the need to preach philosophies about fiction. And it doesn't surprise me that some people private their lists considering how people in the anime community can be obsessive and toxic about ratings. I'm honestly starting to think the people who preach about objective criticism in anime are the type of people who need to touch grass. And for as much as they try to project their IQs about writing in anime online, they must not have been that smart in school. Otherwise, they would direct their energies towards something more productive and meaningful.

Weird because I see countless of hate posts on how much people say AoT is overrated and not as great as people are hyping it out to be and I try to look for positive posts because I really like the anime too. So I'm glad I just ignore these haters.
