Dragon Ball Z. I mainly watched it because my peers were into it but I could not get into it.

I thought the fights took way too long and nobody ever seemed to stay down. Also, much of the fights, from what I can recall consistented mostly of power-ups and monologues.

FLCL don't make sense, but there is still a lot explored in it, mostly adolescent feelings. I have low score for it because I hate its last episode though. Also don't know about its sequels since I haven't seen it yet (watching first 5 mins of the season 2 just reminded me why I stay away from English dubs. Waiting for Japanese release now)

I think SAO is not overrated. It's by far the anime that introduced more fans into isekai genre and more people getting to know JRPG game in general. It's not even a fight to see who's right and who's wrong.

Sometimes it is better to go in blindly when you know it's the genre that you're looking for cause people's opinion will make you have a high expectation for a show.

Hmm post 25 actually answered it. It's just a rating guys.

Depends if we're talking about the West or the East.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

I mean it had potential but it just turned out to be a typical anti-bullying feel good film where everybody's friends at the end. Disappointed.

I don't know why, but I really don't see why Death Note is so popular. For me there weren't any likeable characters, mc is a guy that would kill anyone to save his own ass, which is the most thing i hate in a mc and the story wasn't anything special. Of course this is my opinion tho. There really isn't a thing called overrated anime. Even if the majority like/dislike a certain anime, there will always be some people dislike/like that anime.

I don't really like the word "overrated" but Cowboy Bebop was nothing like anybody told me. Was really disappointed with it.

I think Fairy Tail and Darling in the FranXXX are overrated.

Fairy Tail has the same type of story around the whole anime. FT members can defeat anyone with their power of feelings :D

Darling in the FranXXX has the worst story. It was all about having s** or not.

Well this is going to piss off pretty much everyone but

fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. forced myself to watch it as it was so popular and everyone said it's a masterpiece. i found myself not caring who won or who died. if father or w.e the old guy is called won i would have been ok with it. it got so bad that the only thing i cared about was if winry and ed ends up together. FMA is not a romance anime (well in the same way i wouldn't classify my hero academia a romance anime) but that ended being the only thing i thought slightly interesting.

the anime itself is decent. as an anime, it has good sound, good animation etc
but i think it was so overhyped to me (although i didn't see what's special) that when i eventually watched it years later, i was like erm this really isnt special and got let down.

Sword Art Online and Fairy Tail are awful ( in my eyes and it's quite personal ) yet many people love them.
Infinite Stratos is also surprisingly praised for its "best girls" which is bollocks because they're all trash.

Most people confuse overrating with overpopularity, for example the poor SAO is a victim of this problem.
Nor is there overrating, only people who do not know how to qualify fairly, like me.

mmmm…..

I could choose the easy route and pick SAO, but I pick Angel Beats.

I can at least understand why people like it with its hard breaking story, but the style is just ugly to me and I don't see anyone mentioning it. So much fucking grey and the tone doesn't match the style. It puts me off, it looks boring and it makes the anime boring. Kinda have the same problem with Steins Gate, but I'm only two episodes in and I don't care to watch more at this moment.

Asobi Asobase (not funny)
Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (not funny)
Planet With (worst action anime in this season)
Angel Beats (it is not that good, and worse than Charlotte)
Kimi no Na wa. (insanely overrated, I have seen way better movies)


Attack on titan, SAO, code geass, death note, Re:Zero etc are not underrated at all. They deserve the popularity and score they got because I have seen many anime, and not many of them are as entertaining as those.

You can think whatever you want about SAO, but you can't say it's overrated at this point. It's the punching bag of the anime community, 9 out of 10 comments about it are negative (and that's being kind).
But answering the topic, I'll pick Code Geass for many of it's idiotic plot twists.
Made in Abyss, because it's like most of the praise it gets are from people fascinated by the lore and nothing else. The only episode that deserved so much praise imo was the last one.
My Hero Academia cause it's just green Naruto with overhyped moments and that didn't ruin it's plot yet. Not that there's a lot of story to ruin in the first place.

Fullmetall Alchemist: Brotherhood. It is a great anime, but it doesn’t deserve number 1 in MAL. For me, the real number 1 is Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Your Lie in April is also very overrated. It is predictable and boring romance drama, that not as good as Clannad: After Story, Ahohana, Angel Beats and Toradora, imho
A little bit overrated is Death Note, but MAL rating is correct.
Finally, the most overrated anime is One Punch Man. I haven’t found something special in this superhero comedy. It is funny, but that’s it. This anime doesn’t have a good plot, interesting and well developed characters, good worldbuilding and deep philosophical meaning. So because of that OPM doesn’t deserve so high ratings, imho.
