I've been watching Aku no Hana and after looking at the score I felt astonished.
I gave a look at the manga (without spoiling myself) and my only explanation is the fact of how the characters went ruined by the visuals.
Anyway I want you to recommend something with a score below... Let's ask 7 and you feel like it deserved more than 8.
I feel like I'm losing some nice anime out there.

Shame it got some really low scores. Personally, I enjoyed it and it has some rather neat ideas in it.

just saying, alot of hate towards aku no hana also goes from how horribly paced it it compared to the manga

Also skull man, its got a really low score but its a huge throwback to classic anime and has a great plot and twists

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Honestly he had to have edited it.. that or I just skipped over it by skimming it, if so I'm sorry, and you don't see how much hate Guilty Crown get's do you? Everytime I've seen it talked about it get's a massive amount of hate.

Of course I've seen the massive hate for GC, along many other anime here on MAL. Still don't see how it's relevant to this thread however.

No it's not. The drama is realistic and well done, and while there is a lot of sex, it's done in a tasteful manner.

You have to realize that when you are young and without much of a hard life or things to go threw your view of what is "realistic" is quite twisted. Especially if you grew up watching TV and anime.

Which also explains why people on here think Key drama is good, but I digress.

I would call it overrated because if we go by plot alone it could easily trade ranks with Aku No Hana.

I'll second HenZemi. Not the funniest show around, but it was unique and I don't know why it is rated so low.

Shigurui. I can see why many people don't like it since it is incredibly gory, the story is heavy and the characters are despicable and it did only showed about 1/3 of the story in the manga but the animation, the soundtrack and the atmosphere you get from this anime is just incredible. It's like an experience and I recommend everyone who don't mind gore to watch it.

Going to have to agree with School Days, personally I liked it. It was an 8 in my book

also Mamotte Shugogetten! I thought it was at least worthy of a 7. It wasn't the best show but it was worthy of more than a 6 in my opinion

School Days as an all time guilty pleasure.

On the whole Yosuga no Sora thing. Even if you didn't like the show, you can't deny it had a marvelous soundtrack.

I concur, Inferno Cop derseves to be the Number One anime on the Top Anime list of not only this site, but of all sites due to the fact that it is the deepest and most complex work of fiction ever made by the Human Species.

Damn it I'm gonna watch that show immediately!
I already saw half of the Yosuga no Sora a few years ago but I'm going to rewatch it since I can't remember anything at all.
Also I'm interested in Hen Zemi as well.
I already watched Inferno Cop and School Days, I just didn't added Inferno Cop in the list yet.

Awesome! I know you don't read manga but if you like the anime then I also recommend the manga, even if it's just so you can see the rest of the story and the victor of the duel.

Only one I have on my list that has an average score below 7 and a 8 or higher from me is Skull Man so I second that. You'll really have a hard time finding many of those titles because MAL in generally rates quite high so for something to slip below 7 it must either be really obscure or just plain aweful. Aku no Hana is an exception because it's just people feeling that their expectations have been betrayed and a general disagreement about animation style. I can't think of any other example that is this controversial.

e: Shigurui is rated 7.65 though, I would have mentioned it otherwise. Great show.
I probably regret this post by now.

Fractale (this was a series that I got really into, but some others didn't really enjoy it as much as I did)

Those are the ones I can think of. I saw lower scores on reviews as well as when you discuss the anime with others. However, I enjoyed these anime and gave them much higher scores!

I agree that the score for Aku no hana is completely skewed because of disappointed manga fans. For people like me who never read the manga and didn't have such expectations in place, it was a fairly interesting watch.
