Have you ever found a particular moment in an anime to evoke completely different emotions, vibes and implications than it was intended to? For example, when have you been really bothered by a scene that was intended to be light-hearted and comedic, or when you have wanted to cringe or laugh at scenes that were meant to give you an overtly serious and dramatic tone?

that one scene in Kara no Kyoukai 7: Satsujin Kousatsu when Ryougi Shiki was tied up by the villain of the movie Shirazumi Lio and he licked her, salivated over her, bit her etc. and for sure it was meant to be horrifying/disgusting to some extent, but Shirazumi Lio is so hot, I just thought that "it should have been me" for the entire scene lmao XDDD

Pretty much any scene of sexual fanservice that involves non-consensual sexual contact makes me feel uncomfortable rather than aroused.

A lot of Zeta Gundam just made me bemused because it's meant to be a mostly serious drama but nobody acts or emotes or talks like a person.
"Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It's going to be commercial and nasty at the same time." - JG Ballard, interview with Heavy Metal Magazine (1982)

Please Teacher. A lot of the dramatic moments that were supposed to make me feel sympathy for the characters instead evoked annoyance or "Of course that'd happen".

Fore serious/dramatic that'd be the whole of Stars Align, meant to be a deep psychological drama but i found it to be executed so badly it was laughable

@DigiCat After the ending of Oshi no Ko, JJK and Titans, it seems like this is a common problem with edgy psychological content in animanga.

@TheBlockernator Sometimes I feel like Japanese media is re-imagining the Victorian experience with all its mysterious illnesses, dramatic accidents bordering on the absurd, and theatrical drama in general.

Probably the scene from berserk where griffith sleeps with casca in front of guts made me laugh instead of be upset.
I've looked to make a real anime waifu,
Too spin my world around like a typhoon,
Why do people keep calling me a raccoon,
Maybe because I keep stealing anime girls hearts like gru steals the moon.

You are intriguing me about Oshi and JJK ending now (。◕o◕。) can't wait for more seasons

I find Bokutachi no Remake so laughable, but the drama in episode 4 definitely takes the cake because of 2 (intended to be) serious moments:

In Kaze no Stigma a scene exist where a perve with a camera gets beat with a bat by a group of girls. Made me root for the antagonist perve. Breaking the guys camera was one thing, but literally attacking him in a gang is unacceptable. When he had a villain arc I was cheering for him. Lol

@DigiCat The ending of JJK is also difficult to explain as how magic works in this manga. As for Oshi no Ko, without spoilers, this is probably one of the most shocking and spectacular murders of a manga by its own author in my memory.

Most people will talk about anime that was violent or disturbing scenes they found funny.


I will do the opposite:

Non-Non Biyori... it's supposed to be an iyashikei, comfy and funny etc. Review here
One of the main characters is this girl Renge (the one with lavender hair) and she's supposed to be cute and entertaining, hahaha. And DEAR GOD every time she was on screen I wanted to wretch. She has the vocabulary of an ape, and just points at things and goes "Waaaa!" and I just ended up shouting "Shut AAAAAP!" at the TV.

Another scene there's this girl who moves to town, and she likes photography. Okay. The purple haired ape follows her around... then just stands and stares into space when told the girl moved away..... and the anime just forgets about it and goes on to something else. What was I supposed to feel there? Sad? Happy? Confused is more like it. The purple haired moron had nothing to say.

There've been other times iyashikei anime confused the hell outta me. Like any scenes where they show the protagonist being abused at work- and it's played up for laffs- "Hahahahaha!! Look boss is abusing him again! Hahaha!! Oh look he's suicidal! AHAHAHAAAA!!!!" and the character literally sighs and says "Guess I'll just have to stay til 1AM and work harder, sigh" ... Japanese folks apparently think this is funny.
I strongly object. So instead of feeling relaxed and chill I just get pissed off. Healing anime, my ass!
