Maybe in your world it's not but it is in the real world. In my country, Japan, 6 out of 10 teenagers know K-On. It's ridiculously popular here. And I see more positive feedback than negative ones. Maybe here in MAL, it's not appreciated but remember, 5000 people not liking it doesn't make something underrated. |

SquadmemberRitsu said: Underrated: Strike Witches, Hidamari Sketch, In the anime communities, yes they are(I disagree with Bacanno! though). Although If you look at the amount of profit they make, they are doing good, Hidamari made enough profit for 4 seasons(its one of shafts best selling shows after Madoka and -monogatari) and Both seasons of SW sold over 12k+ BD's for there first volume's, while the movie sold over 37k~ BD's/DVD's(if I remember correctly) |

Just to let you guys know, I am talking specifically about the western community (And by that I don't just mean MAL). I am very much aware of these facts you're telling me and none of it opposes my view point. K-On may be popular and critically acclaimed in the Japanese anime community but what about over here? Google 'K-On Review' and it'll come up with mostly negative reviews. I saw the K-On Movie as part of a Japanese film festival here in Australia and the cinema was only about half full. Type 'Madoka Review' into Google and they'll be almost universally positive. When I went to see the Madoka movies today, the theatre was packed. By the way the Madoka Movies were amazing and you should be extremely jealous if you haven't had the opportunity to see them yet |

I wouldn't say they were amazing since nothing really changed. The OP themes were pretty sweet though. Oh and I can't wait for part 3. THAT, is what you call amazing. |

Strangely enough MAL is on such fan rating site where drowning on about what is overrated/underrated is mostly unnecessarily and is generally done just to showcase that poster's "great taste" in anime. |

I do not understand how One Piece and Code Geass are overrated. Honestly, One Piece is the best anime I've ever watched. It excels beyond any level any other anime could excel in the two departments that matter the most, characters, and plot. But yeah, overrated: D. Gray-man. I mean, it was good, but not nearly as good as I expected. It only started getting good near the end, and wasn't good for nearly as long as I'd have liked. Also Sword art online. I didnt see it being rated very high here, which was nice, compared to all the hype it was getting elsewhere. Honestly, it had so much potential, but was executed so poorly, I gave up on it along the way. Same with Vampire Knight. I'm not sure if these are actually overrated, but they definately weren't as good as I was expecting: Soul Eater, Ao no Exorcist, Full Metal Panic, Peach Girl, Arcana Famiglia, etc. Underrated: One Piece. I mean there's tons of people out there who like it, but then there are those who hate on it after watching like 2 episodes or something. That's just silly. It's an amazing series. Hunter X Hunter is also amazing. I'm not sure if its underrated, but I actually didnt' know about it until it was mentioned in a recommendation thread by ONE person. Honestly, its good enough that like, at least over half the people shouldve mentioned it. And about OP and HXH being kiddish, they're not. OP might be on the surface, but inside, you realize how deep it actually can get, with certain feelings, etc. HXH just is not kiddish I have more for both overrated and underrated, just cant think of them right now, because I'm still pondering how anyone could think OP and CG are overrated. |

If people don't like a series after 2 episodes, they don't like it. They obviously don't want to watch the whole series if they dislike it after 2 episodes. So how is that childish? They don't have to force themselves to watch something they don't like. |

I'm not agreeing with equestrian4life, but when the concerning anime is more than 570 episodes long, you don't just judge it after 2 episodes. That would be childish. Of course, it's another thing if they have read the source material and thought the anime was a terrible depiction of the source material, but even then it would considered more childish when it is such a long anime. To drop it, fine. But to judge it, not one bit. As for equestrian4life, One Piece is, if anything, overrated. The pacing, at times, is horrible compared to the manga and the animation, at times, is horrible as well. Don't get me wrong. I love One Piece. Heck, I even gave it a 9. But it is still overrated. Although, of the "Big 3", One Piece produces the best fillers. |

And you say "at times", at times doesn't sound like something that would justify it being overrated, it's only at a 8.65.As for equestrian4life, One Piece is, if anything, overrated. The pacing, at times, is horrible compared to the manga and the animation, at times, is horrible as well. Don't get me wrong. I love One Piece. Heck, I even gave it a 9. But it is still overrated. Although, of the "Big 3", One Piece produces the best fillers. You are forgetting the story and how well thought out it is. How nothing mentioned is useless and everything contributes to the larger picture. How it embeds deeper themes of racism, justice, eugenics, slavery, government, etc deeply in the story and in the world. The world building is strong with it's races, the geography(with the red line, the 4 blues, the grand line, the islands), how you travel, the cultures, the devilfuits/powers, animals and monsters, everything. The characters, their backgrounds, and how the grow throughout the series. There's a reason why each of them joins the crew, and there's a reason why they follow Luffy and want him to become the pirate king. Every character is fleshed out, and has emotional moments, alot of people on the forums even put One Piece in their list of anime that made them get close to crying or actually crying. Not just one scene, multiple scenes over the story, even for characters that aren't main characters, people get attached. If you want to talk about filler between the big 3, it is not only the best filler, but it also has the least amount. Naruto has near 185, Bleach near 157, and One Piece near 97. One Piece has the least amount even being 70 episodes further than Naruto(yet having half the filler) and being 210 episodes ahead of Bleach, with One Piece still having 60 less fillers. |

There are a few other sites that have fan generated ratings. The only common sense involved on the part of the fans rating is that they rate things as they see fit and for the readers to understand that no fan rating system is going to be completely objective, nor should it be, because that's not how personal preferences about TV shows work. If you don't use common sense when reading reviews, ratings, and critiques then you're the one at fault. |

Also, agreeing with RyuujiXmemories on Shinsekai Yori. It's underrated as hell, all because a couple of retards got butthurt over a yaoi kiss lasting a full 30 seconds and isn't likely to happen again and because they weren't "warned" beforehand when it quite clearly said that homosexual relations are quite normal in their world.

Combustious said: For Cowboy Bebop, I mean it was a good show, but most of the random episodes were boring and predictable. The ones that did pertain to the story were pretty good, but I think they should have dedicated more episodes to it and explained more about Spike/the Red Dragon. Another person that thinks Cowboy Beboy is not all perfect and glorious or "timeless anime masterpiece". Didn't fully get into the series as I'm not that into sci-fi but don't mind episodic series, like Mushishi or Gintama. Only near the end did I find it interesting and the art style wasn't to my liking. An underrated anime would be the Bakuman series. Written by the same authors as Death Note, on face value the series seem plain but when you start watching it, it really grows on you. |

Unfulfilled said: Overrated: Bleach, Naruto, Death Note, Soul Eater... I've heard so many people talk about them. The only critically acclaimed anime you listed is Deathe Note. Bleach, Naruto and Soul Eater are far from overrated. It's 2012 and people still think popular = overrated. SMH. |

Totally agree with Shinsekai yori being underrated. People must have horrible taste if they dislike that show... and let's not even get into the laughably close-minded people who dropped it after the 8th episode. Plot is obviously the most important thing in an anime and Shinsekai yori's got that down pat. In fact, I can say that it has the best and most original plot I've seen this year. |

Overrated: 1) Clannad + Clannad After Story!!!! (in my opinion the other Key animes Kanon and Air are way better than Clannad!! i really dont get it why so many ppl think that Clannad is the best anime they have ever seen..i mean it's pretty nice, dramatic and so on but i think it's definitely not a masterpiece!!) 2) Vampire Knight!! (nothing special..in my opinion the whole anime is about the love triangle Yuki-Zero-Kaname!! and i've seen better love stories..) Underrated: 1) EF- A Tale of Memories/Melodies!!!!!! (this anime is very similar to Clannad but it has a better story, better characters and better locations! especially the 2nd season is very heart-touching^^ but it's way too underrated..) 2) Ragnarök + Tales of Symphonia!! (both animes are based on adventures and even though they dont have many episodes they still have great storylines!! they are way too underrated too!!!) |

Overrated: 1:Naruto-It has the worst fillers ever. 2:Neon Genesis Evangelion-For some reason people believe this is a mindfuck anime. It isn't all it is is a bad mix of religion and science full of plotholes and poorly explained terminology. It also has the most unlikeable cast of characters I have ever seen. 3:K-ON!-It's all about moe and drinking tea and it gets boring after 10 episodes. 4:Madoka-Another anime people consider a mindfuck for no apparent reason. Sure it has an interesting twist and the Homura episodes were great if the whole anime was like that it would be one of the best animes ever. But unfortunately Homura couldn't carry the weight of the other cast members who were forgetable except Sayaka who was a retarded bitch. 5:Vampire Knight-It's so horribly bad that giving it any rating would be overrating it.(Twilight fans will rage) 6:Almost every echi anime with the exception of Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari 7:Death Note-the second season(everything after L died) was bad 8:Fate/Stay Night-People die... if they are killed! 9:Pokemon-now that I'm older it makes me wanna puke! |

Naruto has too many haters to be considered overrated. |

Ralinor666 said: 1:Naruto-It has the worst fillers ever. Agreed with the fillers being the worst, but to say an anime is overrated because of their fillers is overdoing it as the fillers can be easily skipped and you won't be losing or missing anything about the show. Ralinor666 said: 6:Almost every echi anime with the exception of Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari You can't say that unless you have watched "almost every ecchi" anime, which you haven't. Not to mention, you yourself haven't given any ecchi anime less than 7. Ralinor666 said: 7:Death Note-the second season (everything after L died) Spoiler that. There are people here who haven't watched till that part. Ralinor666 said: 9:Pokemon-now that I'm older it makes me wanna puke! You're making yourself look like an idiot here. To say that an anime made for kids is overrated because you don't like it anymore because you're older is bullshit. OT; Underrated : Jyu Oh Sei - It's a pretty engaging story with some nice soundtracks and all. The way the story develops and the characters unfold is also very well executed. Asu no Yoichi! - For an ecchi, I feel it does it's job very well. The main character also isn't a weak ass and is disrespected by every woman in the series, as he is pretty much the strongest person in the storyline and he also gains everyone's respect through a series of error and trial. It's also interesting how the MC (and the other two weirdos) tries to adapt to the city life. |
