| Are there things in anime that you enjoy despite the constant criticism and complaints, or vice versa that you monstrously hate, even though everyone is either enthusiastic or neutral about it? |
 |
| It's not a secret that i enjoys low quality trashy ecchi shows and i dislike the popular and current shonen or romance shows. |
| I don't like idols or idol performances in general. Most times I skip those scenes. Probably one of the reasons I couldn't stand Oshi no Ko tbh |

| "Are there things in anime that you enjoy despite the constant criticism and complaints, or vice versa that you monstrously hate, even though everyone is either enthusiastic or neutral about it?" I like Isek*i. I never skip OPs and EDs, I even watch the credits and never skip any episodes even if they may be 'fillers'. |

MAXproARYAN said: I dislike This particularly weird trope of anime where normal people are unaware of things that a special group of people are . Like..., csm. Like so much destruction happens in cities , tons of people die yet rest of the world is completely unaware of its existence. This definitely doesn't apply to csm, demons are known worldwide, and are actively reported on in the news, everyone knows about them. Otherwise, yeah, I strongly agree with the sentiment. |
| Aren't we all like that..? Those of us with high numbers of completed anime..? Like we've seen everything in anime now we only like things that nobody else like.. |
 |
| As much as Fairy Tail obviously has dedicated fans, I know there's (justified) dislike and even hatred of it. I completely get why. It's corny, it's cliche, power of friendship bullshit at every turn, all that shit. But goddamn if it isn't a fun watch for me every time. I'll always love my stupid little wizard friendship show. |

| I actually like Domestic Girlfriend. |
 |
| i love isekais that are based in games. the more detailed the game mechanics, the better for me. but i understand that some people can get very tired of the overexploitation of the genre. |
JaniSIr said: I actually like Domestic Girlfriend. Now that's a brave take my friend, respect !! I think MHA is bellow mid and i think Asobi Asobase is the best comedy of all time by far in anime. |
 |
| I like SAO, and I also like Asuna and Kirito. Similarly, I also enjoy a lot of the edgy and power fantasy stuff like Arifureta. |
 |
| Uhh that's like almost every anime I've ever watched, maybe even all of them. It's impossible to please everybody after all. |

| I think Gintama is unfunny, well, not THAT funny at least. Sket Dance is way bigger and you're missing out if you haven't watched it. |

JaniSIr said: I love that the hatred for the show has gone to the point where you only have to write "I actually love this" to show off the unusual taste.I actually like Domestic Girlfriend. |
|
| I actually enjoy the constant mishaps & miscommunications in romcoms like Nisekoi & Rental Girlfriend. I don't really watch them for serious romantic development. On another note, I have no problems with Kirito being overpowered and think he's fine the way he is. |

| Huh, not really sure I can think of a good example for the first part. Maybe just generic, bland, self-insert, OP lead characters. For whatever reason I still get a kick out of seeing the repetitive cliche of the no body being the strongest. For the second part, I don't know if this still holds true, but man if this wasn't true when the original FMA first started airing in America. I grew to almost hate it, but for a specific time and place I'm not sure if I can think of a more beloved show. |

Those kind of shows I usually can't finish, I saturate with "funny" and "wholesome" somewhere around the halfway point. |

| "I'm not like others" I am exactly like everybody, but with two exceptions: 1. I don't like melodrama. 2. I don't like shows which try really hard to hype me. Those types of shows tend to be emotionally manipulative and I despise that. For some reason 1. and 2. ruin for me 70% of the most popular shows, 90% of the battle shounen and 100% of sport anime. |

RobertBobert said: So shows like Kimetsu no Yaiba, G-Witch and ReZero don't work well for you? Yep. I am following The Witch from Mercury only for the mecha porn and to a some degree from morbid curiosity - how stupid it will get? RobertBobert said: I mean, a show with famous emotional swings. I don't mind emotional swings, but only if those are done properly. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is a good example of that, it balances well all its ingredients. As opposed to your regular soap opera for teens like Re:Zero which do that in very inept ways. It tries to push all your emotional buttons...but the drama hogs (who are 70% of the general population) are already irresponsible to such stimulus...so the authors try HAMMERING the whole keyboard. The result is a mess. Occasionally unintentionally funny mess, but that would be a rare "so bad it's good" jam. |

| I just like whatever I like. I'm not going to force myself in liking or disliking something to appease others. Feels like this should be obvious, but apparently not so much. |

| i remember being the first comment under the op on the second episode of "hikari no ou" a few months ago and nonchalantly praising its still illustrations plus the soundtracks. the vast majority were not so pleased with the use of illustrations and lack of budget among other things however. i even had someone quote to accuse me of getting paid to blatantly lie, which in retrospect is funny to me now. i was legitimately happily content lol. ah well. |

In general I don't mind those people, apparently everybody has their own definition of maturity. My problem is with rabid fans who push their favorite tearjerker as "peak fiction", "must see" and "modern classic" in the face of everyone.

| I enjoy watching isekai. To the point that I've completed 120 anime isekai at this point in time And am currently watching another 8. Even if they're trash (and, admittedly, most of them are) they're relaxing to watch and just stupid fun. |

Most of the anime might contain a few flaws here and there, but everyone has their own liking so it's up to them whether they like watching that anime or not after all. My example of this take is "Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie" anime, almost all of those reviewers dropped the anime after they watched it for 3 episodes or so even though they didn't watch it 'till the end. I also had the same feeling but I'm glad I didn't drop it and gave it a 7/10. |
