Hi! Just curious on people unpopular anime takes. (You’ve probably seen this kind of thread many times, but hey we’re gonna do it again idc)

Just to clarify that you need to say your reason why you have that unpopular take. For example you can’t just say “this anime is bad” and that’s it, you need to say your reasons like “I have this unpopular take with this anime because of blah blah blah”

But yeah anyways, enjoy saying your worst takes in human history!

You know like Demon Slayer is totally overrated and it's heavily carried by its animation
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Yugioh is the best in the shonen genre and has some of the best monster/creature designs in anime and has the #1 waifu in all of anime (Mai Valentine)
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

The word “anime” is bourgeois, and having a website and list dedicated to television that is animated and from one country only is bourgeois.

Good television is good television.

"It gets better after x episodes" shows don't deserve their praise, it's a garbage way of selling a show and just goes to show how little the studio/author cares about their audience

You guys seem to have read and answered to too many bait threads recently. ^^

Superismaeel asked for your opinions, not simple "hot takes" there is a different thread for those.

Talking about mechas, I enjoyed Back Arrow more than the first season of Macross and at the moment also more than Mobile Suit Gundam (currently watching). Finding a worse take than this one will be hard.

Oh, I have to explain why... I like their core concepts, but I don't really dig the mandatory episodic skirmishes between mechas that fill about 25-50% of every episode.

Mecha genre could be significantly better without the mechs huh?
Evangelion is an exception of course, there the story makes 0 sense.

No, just use mechas better (but it's hard to do that if you're forced to insert pointless fights into every episode, otherwise you won't sell toys).

I would complain just as much about LoGH if it had space battles forcefully crammed into every episode, so it's not about mechas.

Demon Slayer is overrated

Death Parade and Dororo are not deep and not that good as people say.

Three episode rule is kinda stupid since shows can get better. Like if I applied this to code geass, I wouln't be able to know one of my faves of all time.

It doesn't matter if a show has over-the-top, insanely beautiful animation. I can appreciate it and all and acknowledge that it is very pretty but at the same time I do not really care that much. I guess that I do not mind it in movies, actually I quite like a pretty looking movie (because they are shorter and I could care less what its about) but not in full length shows.

Its probably just a me problem but when so much effort is put into the pretty-pretty animation it makes it much more difficult to focus on the story. Perhaps why I am more attracted toward "older" shows.

Yeah we had one of those just yesterday, the OP got mad because of the hot takes, though.

But well, why not. I think my most unpopular opinion is about Nisioisin. He's a mediocre writer with good ideas, but he relies way too much on blatant exposition and pointless repetition because he knows his fans will just excuse it as "part of his style". The two most glaring instances of him doing it are Tsukimonogatari, which is just a massive infodump that acts like the viewer is an idiot, and Kizumonogatari, which is so bad that in the book he seriously felt the need to reminds us what a vampire is every few sentences.

The Made in Abyss anime just works because of the soundtrack and fantastic visuals. The manga is fine, but gets increasingly bad because the author doesn't seem to have the caliber to back up the amazing world he created with a decent story. The story goes downhill right after the end of the anime, and that reflected in the movie: Bondrewd is a boring mwahahaha villain, the fight scenes are boring, and the author just pulls another Mitty in order to create drama because he doesn't know how to do so otherwise.

Vivy was extremely boring and dull. I don't even have a specific reason "why", it just felt like the most regular, unemotional and run-of-the-mill scifi story possible and for some reason it was hyped to oblivion as the "hidden gem" of its season.

Oh yes, I hate the whole virtue signalling around piracy. I don't care if people pirate, it's almost impossible to run from it nowadays, but stop acting like piracy is a good and ethical thing, it's not.

I always described re zero as playing a game like mega man and you keep dying over and over again and while there are slight changes to your gameplay bc you're trynna learn from your mistakes everything is largely the same. You're sick of doing this same level over and over. You're sick of shooting the same characters over and over. That's re zero to me. The fact that they thought making Subaru die and then have us sit through exactly what we just saw before he died was a good idea is crazy to me. Talking to the same characters in largely the same way. Going through the same sequences the same way etc etc. For example *spoilers* when the show starts and he dies like 50 times in that market area and we literally had to sit here as viewers and watch this bumbling idiot do the same exact thing and die again and again drove me insane.

The biggest issue with made in Abyss is that it's just utterly ruined by the characters.
Like the two protagonists are totally useless, only surviving episode 1 due to plot armor, and it only gets worse.
Half of Nanachi's voice lines are trashing the two, so the author knew that it's a problem, but tried to be meta instead of fixing it.
And the adults are portrayed as the good guys, while the orphanage literally sustains itself on child labor. And they actually just encourage kids to go on a suicide mission...

The only good character moment was a flashback to Lyza.

That's not a matter of realism, but that was something the characters should have thought about before doing what they did... You gotta do lot better than that to pull a Lelouch.

And really, the biggest issue is that season 4 just totally betrays the build up of season 3. The author tried to write a more complex story than he could handle, and thus it went sideways, while keeping it an "us vs them" plot could have worked wonders.
