Okay, I don't know if it's too soon or too early but since the next anime season would be on 2008 (Winter) I think this is the right time to decide on this. Let's count the 2006 Fall Season on this but I dunno if we should add the 2007 Fall, you decide ^_^ BTW, you can choose more than one if you like and no flaming >_<

I think the most underrated is The Skull Man. It was really good. The first few eps made me go WTF but I pursued and I'm glad I did. The most overrated this year, for me, was Shakugan no Shana II. It's just not as good as the first.

I agree. Overrated/Underrated lists are always just one step away from personal like/dislike lists anyway; it just adds in the factor of the supposed number of other people who don't share your opinion. I suppose if none of us ever posted on message boards like this and just bought/downloaded/watched the shows, we'd never know if it was supposed to be popular or not. But luckily we have that little "Top Anime" link on the left side to help us out. :)

Despite that, I'll say 5 Centimeters Per Second was the most overrated anime I've seen this year, while Umisho was the most underrated.

Anything that is in the top 100 anime after having just aired in 2007 is certainly over-rated. By my definition.

And arguably many in the top 250 are also over-rated.

I agree with a few others that have noted this. No offense to anyone, but this question is BS.

This always seems to be a way of validating one's opinion. An anime's popular but *you* (and maybe a few other people you know) didn't like it, so its overrated. Or not enough attention got paid to this series that you have just fallen in love with, so its underrated. Meh.

i dont know about overrated since a lot of people say they're overrated simply because they're popular and they don't like them. it's all opinionated.

underrated however is a different story. it can be good but simply unknown.

and having just watched the first episode:
Moyashimon is the most underrated show of 2007. This show is freaking genius.

Although I don't often participate in this kind of topic, I just gonna add in this

Overrated : School Days

The Nice Boat hype. I never see this series enjoyable at all except for the ending. Definitely one of the worst romance anime I've come across. Plot? It started fine, then went down, and down and down and till the point I don't know what the producer wanted to do (ep9 onward) that they just put in anything (oh hey any girl is fine?) and to the final climax episode?

No offense to those who like it. Personal opinion.

Ok this is my 2007 anime hate list =D

Shana II is not overrated. It is just way below everyone expectation when comparing to the first season. Still, it is ongoing and I would like to see how it will turn around after some action going on.

For overrated, I'm going with School Days, because I honestly believe everyone likes it for the wrong reasons. Not that it's popular, per se, but why it's popular.

Underrating is pretty much an issue of taste, though, so I'll keep quiet on that bit.

If It's still very popular but below most peoples expectations, then wouldn't that make it over-rated? Though I think the first season is over-rated as well.

Well then, SnS II is over-rated. ^^

...but still, I don't look at popularity in general to gauge whether or not a series is overrated. Usually It's the largely popular series which really don't have the ratings to live up to It's hype. Sure, any popular series can be considered 'overrated' depending upon the person, but series like Naruto which have a rating that declines on a daily basis, yet continues to maintain It's popularity... That's what I consider over-rated. Shakugan no Shana II is heading down a similar path, if it continues with the same recycled material time and time again. Though I admit the most current episodes(8 and 9) of SnS II where better than the previous.

And this isn't a like/dislike list. I take this from 4chan as well as personal experience.

Dude, SnS II is not overrated. Almost everyone agrees that it is (*was* hopefully) bad.

It is of a case of hype -> dissapointment.

Look at SnS II current ratings and tell me if those are "bad" ratings. Because people are commenting that it is not all that great, and yet it has good ratings, is a perfect example of something that is over-rated. People regard it highly solely based on the series franchise and not the season itself.

But that's exactly what's up with StrikerS and other "mediocre" sequels. Great expectations and dissapointment. And that's pretty much it.

Having such good previous seasons justifies (imo) the existing fanbase.

That's perfectly understandable, but all I'm saying is that SnS II is over-rated; whether or not SnS deserves It's current fan-base never crossed my mind. I don't expect fans to stop being fans simply because the sequel is sub-par, but because most people agree that SnS II IS sub-par, and yet still maintains a large fanbase and good ratings, I don't understand why it wouldn't be considered overrated.

Okay, but what about outside of the fanbase? The fanbase works that way, it's hard to stop being a fan, unless the franchise makes a monumental mistake.

SnS II is generally regarded as bad (so far) outside of that "large" group of people. I can't see why it could be called overrated.
