| Even the ones I hate weren't a total waste and I had some sort of fun with them. I dropped the ones which were actually wasting my time. |

| @Ricchan__ I'm glad that my NTR senses told me to drop it after two episodes. 😮💨 |

| Tokyo Ghoul..........started off decent—the first season was pretty solid. But from the second season on, it got confusing fast. At some point, I genuinely had no idea what was going on. |

@bucciest Not to be mean, but this movie was very.... "woman's movie". Not a bad thing. Some of my favorite movies that are female orientated are Mermaids, Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, and The Boyfriend School, and a Japanese movie that I really enjoyed that was about youth romance, nostalgia and childhood experiences was Crying Love At The Center of The World. The oncoming of menstruation isn't even a problem to me, nor half of the problems I have with Only Yesterday, though.
| @HokutoMumyoZan I'm not sure if it's the state of this website that has you making those disclaimers or if I should be second-guessing that it was meant to be taken as an insult, but I don't think that a movie being a woman's movie is a bad thing. It goes without saying that "Only Yesterday" focuses on a woman's story, but the basis of the film is gender neutral to me overall. It could've easily been about a man and his memories as a boy (and I'm familiar with Japanese cinema, so could see "Only Yesterday" translating to live action just as easily with whichever gender for the protagonist). The menstruation mention wasn't to say that you had an issue with it, but to point out that the mainstream American film industry was squeamish about "Only Yesterday" and Isao Takahata didn't create the film to appeal to them. It's fine to not like "Only Yesterday" and find it to be dull, but I was too baffled by parts of your original comment to not to respond, and I happened to see another comment you made about Ghibli films in another thread, which made it more obvious to me that we have very different opinions on them and I'm going to have to agree to disagree and move on. |

| 99% of animes i used to watch when i was young and dumb. I watched literally everything while most anime is trash. Now i watch very selectively and carefully approach the choice of anime to watch But then i watched all sorts of trash like Fullmetal Alchemist or Guren Lagan Damn i even survived 10 episodes of One Piece, an anime that i consider the worst anime of all time and generally one of the worst things done by humanity (probably even worse than atomic bomb) |
| Hunter X Hunter: The first season is entertaining. The next five seasons are horrible and boring. Especially the Island and Ant seasons. |
 |
I'll say it, Science fell in love and I tried to prove it. My least favorite anime that I have ever watched and has put me off of romance anime as a whole for a long time to come :(  |
| Definitely Boruto, to this day I still have no idea why I even watched more than 70 episodes of it. |
| Cute High Earth Defense club Love! Love! Love! I adore the series otherwise, but literally 30 minutes of this 50 minute OVA is a Clipshow Recap. It's not cute, it's not useful, It's just padding because They did barely a Normal Episode length of work. |
 |
| Mushoku Tensei. i watched the entire god damn thing hoping it would get better |

@HokutoMumyoZan I get what you're saying. It wasn't one of my favorite Ghibli films either and I definitely understand what you mean.
| @Rally- @HokutoMumyoZan The movie is by "the other" founder of Ghibli, so it doesn't smell like Myasaki for a good reason. It also probably can be best understood after your midlife crisis, so come back for a rewatch at 45 years of age. It will feel very differently then. Actually it is one of the best movies Ghibli ever made. |
 |
| Your Lie in April. It's 22 episodes only but... I can't help but think I could have spent all that time watching 22 episodes of something else |
| Probably Darling in the FranXX. There are close contenders like Evangelion and Mirai Nikki, but FranXX is just in another plane of bad. |
| There were a few that I watched years ago that were terrible, but I really can't remember them. However, one stands out, and that's Genji Monogatari (https://myanimelist.net/anime/3488/Genji_Monogatari). Yes, it's a very well-known classic novel, but it really did not translate well as an animated movie. It was incredibly boring. I watched it during an anime marathon that the anime club I was a member of held for the public. They decided to show this movie. It was not popular at all. |

| D.Gray-Man was my biggest waste of my time, I think. I found it boring, but sometimes it does had its moments. D.Gray-Man Hallow however was absolutely horrible. |
| Patlabor is cozy. And it's not long enough to regret watching it. My biggest regret is One Piece. 908 episodes. 300 hours. 12 days. Can't get my time back. Another great regret is wasting time on Bleach, Naruto Shippuuden and Fairy Tail. For short ones, I shouldn't have watched all four seasons of Zero no Tsukaima and all seasons and movies of AOT. That was not necessary at all. Should have stopped after the first parts. |
 |
| Bleach which is funny since I don't even hate it and find it to be somewhat decent, but the amount of time you need to invest to watch the whole thing even with skipping fillers is just too absurd and not worth it. Even for it's time I don't find it to be unique or derivative enough to truly stand out among other anime of it's kind. Those two hundred or so episodes could've been spent watching so many different and probably more interesting anime. |
| Aim for the Ace. It was really great at first. The movie and first two seasons were great. Then the third season came and ruined it. The main character went through major character regression. And like... I don't mind having a hard story arc that the character must overcome. The issue is that she's already been through that character arc in season 1, and they repeated the arc and made it much more annoying. I seriously don't get why they did that... |
| "One piece" I watched 1000+ episodes of it, then I forgot the whole story. |

| Almost all anime is a waste of time. Read some education books instead. |
| All of them, really, past being an entertainment to pass time they aren't anything worthwhile, but if I had to narrow it down, I would narrow it to the anime that bored me, or I hated, but I still wanted to complete nonetheless, and there's many of those, obviously, most recent being Cowboy Bebop and Pluto, the first have the biggest wasted potential I can think of in anime history and the latter was outright despicable, and I couldn't help but snooze against my own will throughout most of it. |
| Probably DBZ. I liked the original but found the drawn out fights in DBZ with everyone floating in the air narrating every step by step blow so boring. I only managed to get through it because I had it on in the background. Satan, Bulma and Chichi were the only decent chars, and where was Launch, best char in the original imho. It wasn't terrible, it was just very long and boring most of the time, hence why I'd call it a waste of time, if not for the fact I was always doing something else whilst watching (cooking or looking after the kids usually). |
 |
| I don't think any anime is unworthy of my time. Anime is more worthy to watch than p0rn, of course. |
| Shinsekai Yori, a bad review made me do a re-watch, which I regret doing. |
| I think all anime is very worthy of my time to watch. If it wasn't worth my time, I wouldn't even be watching it, in the first place. |

| @inim Honestly, I believe you. I feel like I will finally "get it" when I'm older. |

Watching anime is a way of wasting time in the first place.
| @mshfqtny Yet you still watch anyways. |

| Hunter x Hunter. I don't hate it but should've stayed with only the YouTube clips. Trust me if you never watched the anime, the clips ARE enough. |

| The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 - Endless Eight Arc It's eight times the same episode just animated differently. Yeah... |
