That's probably true, because let's be honest, the characters aren't that great,


Holy shit someone else finally gets it.

It's impossible to determine what a good anime is because quality is always subjective.
Everyone in the community is shit taste.

The Haruhi movie. I don't think it's good but it's well received. I didn't liked it. It was predictable and a waste of time.

Pet kanojo was pretty average. Anohana is like clannad, if you can't sympathize with the characters, it's shit

Lucky Star. It's ranked #421 and is very popular so it must be good, but i didn't like it because it's way too repetitive, it's always the same thing every single episode, and the only cute girls are Tsukasa and Miyuki.

You shouldn't trust in the mean score. Watch by the genre and you'll be ok, if you dislike it anyway that means you don't like the genre or the anime is bad.

Even if it wasn't done in the 'moe' way, it would've still sucked. The story and characters sucked tbh..

Anime I dropped before and that teached me that all a good Anime needs is the right timing when watching it: Steins;Gate, Baccano and some other titels

I think it took me over two years to get over my first impression of Steins;Gate, and I really just had to grow into Baccano, so I hope at somepoint I'll be into obnoxious moe shit that everybody overrates because nobody understands just how flawed and shitty this anime simply is. (to point out, forcing yourself to watch through it usually/rarely works, so if you did that and disliked it, that's reaonable to me)

So you want to suffer the same pain I felt after finishing Clannad?
Well, best of luck..

Berserk - I admit it's a very good anime, but I can't watch it, even less read the manga, because it's too violent for me, I've tried to read the manga but the narrative is so bleak, crude, and sad, I can feel the cruelty of the world-setting myself, the anime is so bloody, if it was a fictional universe like Dragon ball, but it's lifelike violence, the type that happens for real, but I know in order to have a complete opinion on the anime I need to watch it entirely, I'm going to try to finish the anime soon, and I have read manga with similar plot and violent story, but there's someting about Berserk that really affects me

Elfen Lied - This is the most disturbing anime I've seen to date, this one I've watched the whole anime, but even though it makes me extremely uncomfortable I know it's a very, very good anime

If there's a show I know is good but didn't like, or rather, if there's a show I want to like that I just don't, the most notable would probably be Trigun. I just couldn't get into it at all.


I'm going to have to agree with Trigun, it's a classic for sure but I can't get that into it and say it's great.


What was it about Trigun that put you off? I liked the show but It definitely has some flaws.

To give my honest opinion, I found Trigun to be one of the more boring shows I've seen. Nothing about it really interested me. The characters didn't interest me, the action didn't interest me, and I thought the animation looked rather dated, even for 1998. I found it all to be rather unmemorable, and while I liked the idea of a "even if it hurts me horribly, I'll never kill a human being!" protagonist, I think it could've been executed better, comparing it to say, Rurouni Kenshin.


And you somehow found the characters in Clannad to be interesting?

Late reply but

Thinking back, I might be a bit biased when it comes to the anime because I read the visual novel first, and absolutely loved it. In there, the characters are handled much better and given more time to be fleshed out.
And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible.

Fate/Zero and Cowboy Bepop, but I'll try to rewatch them once more.
As for Mirai Nikki and Bakemonogatari, I don't even know if they're considered "good".

Last post in the knee hits me so hard. Anyways, the overrated three are somewhat terrible to me, including the slow pacing and the demanding explanations. By overrated three, I mean Naruto and DBZ and One Piece. The only part I liked about DBZ however, is pretty much the over 9000 meme. It exceeds the rest of the anime in quality.


Another thing is that overrated killakill. Misleading title yet its acclaimed of its quality? Even though its all about the fanservice? Nah, thank you. How are they even good is beyond me, let alone that madly famous.

Oh boy, I totally feel ya.
I had so much trouble getting into Berserk because of its crushingly vicious and somber atmosphere, the kind that litteraly grabs you by the guts (no pun intended) and makes you sick. And the very fact that the characters living in this fucked up universe were written so well, and felt so human made it all the more painful to read, somehow.
And yeah, the very graphic and lifelike violence didn't help either. I'm usually fine with it in works of fiction (live or animated) cause the gore is always a bit over the top or unrealistic, but there it just looked like those type of live videos where you see people getting killed/tortured for realz. And I'm not even talking about all the sexual abuse; sometimes I just wanted to make a pause and go vomit.

But it really is a great manga imo, so if you can stomach all that you should definitely give it another shot.

Sorry xD But I've watched the first 5th episodes and really didn't like it, on top of that with the suddenly nymphomaniac girl who got on my nerves.

Naruto I admit, Fairy Tail too btw. u_u
But One Piece, I won't force you to like, but I don't really think it's overrated. Just the plot, managing to keep a story, with plenty of characters having specifics links with eachothers, clear and great, without becoming bullshit as some mangas did, but I won't give exemple (Naruto ehem), it's a goddamn work.

There are 2 variables for someone to enjoy a show

1. quality
2. personal taste

It depends on these 2. These 2 can also cover for their shortcomings, someone can enjoy an average quality anime because, it's suited to their taste and vice versa but if the type of anime is not what you like then you can't enjoy it no matter how good it is.

For me it's Mirai Nikki I guess, though I'm planning to give it another shot. Sometimes it's good to try again later, since taste is something that improves and widens

Maybe 5cm Per Second. I definitely don't dislike, it is a good movie. I've even seen it three times, but the story telling is a bit artsy and makes it hard to stay interested. The scenery porn sure is nice and I did enjoy the story, just a bit boring.

Exactly! and this realism concerning the characters and environment, the way they're well developed, is part of what makes this manga so good, thank you for the tip, I'll try to read the manga again too :p
