Madhouse is the most overrated studio ever. People praise their anime because of the slightly different settings they offered in the past. When in reality, the quality of their anime has always been pretty bad in general. This studio is a nest for bad writters.

Yeah I completely agree. Lolis are literally not real there is no need to get angry. They do not exist

demon slayer has the worst cast of characters in any main stream shounen I have seen by far.

Re:zero is not well written, its just a good story with extreme attention to detail, but the writing itself is below average.

evangelion 3.0 is the second best rebuild movie, but none of the rebuilds are as good as the original. and none of them are even close to EoE.

moriarty the patriot season 2 sucks and ruined a series that could have been amazing.

lain is not a slow burner, the pacing is just shit. the slowness is not used for build up like in monster or steins;gate, it's just slow for the sake of being slow and that's not a good thing.

you can always try to be more objective, but having an unbiased rating is impossible. a good critic is someone that can understand what is and what isn't their biased, and makes a judgment based of of that.

the original higurashi anime is extremely flawed and out dated. the VN is probably great, but the anime is really overrated.

99.9% of the things that people call problematic are fine.

platinum end sucks, but the ending is surprisingly good. if that same ending happened at the end of a "good" show, many people would call it one of the best endings out there.

hige hiro has 0 redeeming qualities and is a perfect example of a poorly written drama.

attack on titan season 4 is much, much, much worse than s3-1 production wise, and it baffles me how some people try to say it's around the same level.

and aot s4 part 2 dropped the ball HARD in the second half.

dub vs sub is the dumbest argument in anime community and is no different from making a war like "tv shows vs movies" or "food vs drinks"

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT DUB AND WHAT SUB YOU BAFOONS!!!
I definitely agree about AOT seasonn4 part 2. It started off so well...

- Shibuya Yuuri is straight and the story is not about him realizing his sexuality/coming out he is harassed into going gay and fujoshis romanticize it because they are head-over-heels for Wolfram, if an ugly bastard did the same to Yuuri he would be the most hated character.
- Guilty Crown and Kakumeiki Valvrave are both good anime
- Fruits Basket is overrated and has a shitty story where the curse just magically breaks and Kyo's "sad" backstory is overdone.
- Utena is an incredibly pretentions anime where Utena just pretends to act like a boy by not questioning anything, wearing frilly hotpants which is not even the male uniform and then starts simping when her prince appears

I couldn’t even finish season 1. The story and the characters were just very boring for me. Reigen was the only good character to me so any scene without him was boring to me. I was at the end of Season 1 (I think 9 episodes in) and I stopped watching because I was bored.

- Re:Zero fails at making the main character likeable, and thus the story is not interesting.

- Psycho Pass season 2 was fine, not bad.

- Monogatari is carried by Shinobu, Hachikuji, and any plot revolving around Shinobu. Araragi is boring.

- Fate/Stay Night from DEEN was a decent enough adaptation of the Fate route.

- Heaven's Feel's real stars are Rin and Medusa. Saber Alter and Sakura sucked.

- Weathering With You and A Silent Voice > Your Name

- Akame Ga Kill was a decent battle anime.

- There is no bad genre, only bad tropes.

- And since it's coming out, Genshin Impact does not have a good story.

S4 is AoT's best section because it takes the themes it built up until that point and cranks it to 11. Despite its issues, the ending in the manga does not ruin it.
The only reason to watch Fate/Zero first is if you don't plan on watching Fate/Stay Night. All the other spin-offs are just fan service.
Haruhi goes too far with her selfish antics.
HakoMari reads like edgy fan-fiction from a 14-year-old. It markets itself as a serious psychological story but the writing style is mundane and geared more towards a young adult audience, and at times it borders on campy.
OreGairu is boring. I don't care if it's realistic, it's boring.
Demon Slayer's characters are boring and the art style is ugly.
Grand Blue is painfully unfunny.
Violet Evergarden failed to be sad due to easily-fixable writing decisions which ruined the immersion.
Zeta Gundam is what happens when characters are TOO flawed.
Saint Seiya is formulaic garbage that puts Fairy Tail's plot armor to shame.
Kara no Kyoukai is what high schoolers watch to pretend they're sophisticated.
Devilman: Crybaby is all edge, no substance.
Magi was needlessly edgy
Love Live's last couple of episode is some of the most forced melodramatic bullshit in existence.
OreImo is a genuinely good show up until the end.

FMA 03 > Brotherhood. To me 03 contained more themes that made me think and analyze wat was happening on screen and wat it meant to the characters compared to Brotherhood which felt a lot more focused on the action compared to emotional and philosophical themes in 03. Some of said themes were still present in Brotherhood but they didn't seem to be the central focus and left me a little disappointed on my first watch

Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are both greatly entertaining blockbuster shows with bland main leads that won't trascend the 20 minutes you spend watching them. In the case of JJK almost every other character is more fun and some are even memorable, but in the case of DS it's worse because it feels like they are only remembered because they are part of meme culture. Like yeah Inosuke very funny and Nezuko a cutie, but it's like they exist only to have a bottom text attached to them.

Fuck overacting for anime voice acting in shows that are supposed to be semi-realistic or serious.

Also fuck the laziness of most (especially today's) anime adaptations of manga. It's just the panels colored and animated with a generic soundtrack, super boring to watch, might as well just read the manga.

Demon Slayer has the most boring protagonist ever (even Deku feels more entertaining next to him)
Jujutsu Kaisen has one of the worst main characters, Yuji is just there, Nobara is the most annoying bitch which just does not shutup (please kill her already), Goujo is hot but just boring mix ok Kakashi and Urahara and only saving grace is Megumi
SAO's second half was more entertaining than first one because I feel like characters at least used a bit of their brain where in first half everyone was just braindead
FMA: Brotherhood finale fight and how the villain was defeated was atrocious BS
Arrancar arc of Bleach is not as bad as everyone says
Fairy Tail is suprisingly good anime with great fanservis and amazing females
Goblin Slayer's first episode is amazing introduction to its world
Kuroshitsuji 2 is really good even if it is complete fanfiction
One Piece Wano arc has the worst visuals? animation?, all the crazy effects making my head hurt and it does not fit One Piece at all (artstyle and shading is good tho)
Psycho Pass has the most underdeveloped side cast and it only has great start and finish
Steins;Gate 0 is better than Steins;Gate
Promised Neverland is not that good

there might be more but this is what I remember

i unironically think it was pretty entertaining. The MC did stupid things, but i didn't let it affect me, i just simply wanted to enjoy the show and did not give too much attention on it's flaws, but i do understand why people hated it.

-Eva is better than Cowboy Bebop.

-I'm an adult and Spike isn't relatable, he's just shooting/fighting or smoking all the time. He's overrated due his own anime is overrated af. The average male harem/isekai character is more relatable than him.

-School and isekai anime are amazing, we need more.

-People lie/don't watch enough modern anime to claim "badass adults don't exist in modern anime/bring back badass adults from old anime". It's just an elitist argument.

-MHA, Demon Slayer, JJK >>> FMAB. FMAB is just your average shounen.

- Code Geass sucks

- Domestic Girlfriend is not that bad

- Violet Evergarden is mid

- I Want to Eat your Pancreas is trash

- Haruhi's Endless Eight was interesting and not at all hard to get through

- A "generic shonen" is leagues more interesting than your standard isekai

- Mecha fanboys are some of the most insufferable parts of the anime community. No one gives a shit that you watched every mecha in existence

- The meta irony culture of anime fans saying all anime is trash is definitely funny at times, but just gets infuriating and boring when that's all they talk about and seeming like they never truly appreciated and liked the medium in the first place in a genuine way.

Code Geass is overrated. Mob Psycho is a boring and shitty anime. Fate/stay night by Deen is terribly overhated and it is actually very enjoyable to watch. A Silent Voice is a great movie, but Your Name is better. Spy Family is one of the most overhyped anime of last year, with no good reason at all. I could give more details on my reasons for each opinion, but only if someone asks directly.

Hadashi no Gen >>>>>>> Hotaru no Haka
Demon Slayer's main cast is alright.
Nanatsu no Taizai is the worst battle shounen ever.
Madoka Magica is the worst anime that was ever considered greatest anime of all time by anyone
Not anime take but Inio Asano is a terrible writer (haven't read Dededede yet)
Psycho-Pass is... 7/10 at best
Urobucther is a terrible writer.
Fruits Basket's final season is disgusting and ruins the whole series.
CGI anime can be good.
A-1 Pictures > MAPPA (I actually can't get more unpopular than this)
Paul Greyrat is the best character is Mushoku Tensei
The only good thing in Re:Zero is Subaru
Rico from Made in Abyss is one of the most underrated protagonist ever
Hunter X Hunter's Chimera Ant Arc is not too long.

Mob Psycho 100 is better than One Punch Man and Mob is a far more likeable protagonist compared to Saitama.

Konosuba is not and will never be funny

Baccano is an incomprehensible mess and a prime example of how NOT to do non-linear storytelling. It also has a fairly forgettable cast that aren't really given any time to develop properly. Durarara is overall much better because it allows its characters to breathe and manages to tie up all of its sub-plots well.

Five did not ruin Zankyou no Terror

The comedy in Bungou Stray Dogs isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, nor does it ever get in the way of its more serious moments.
