Tell me more than 3 traits that doesn't include heroic and a nerdy introvert. (actually not even an introvert, he talks about how he stays at home all the time but has this perfect look of a stereotypical anime male protaonist and shows no signs of any social awkwardness) So that proves my point even more? I watched a different sub because english isn't my 1st language. Maybe that's a translation problem. |
| I believe Welcome to the NHK is underrated. That anime is a masterpiece in my book! |
| NHK ni Youkoso! is overrated. It is a good comedy show, but it fails as a social commentary. I hope people avoid learning too many "life lessons" from that show. |
| The recent popular isekai like Shield Hero and Reincarnated as a Slime. All my friends told me to watch it, but they're kinda boring. |

| all of what you mentioned, except for one piece (well i'm on fishman island arc so idk if it really get as bad as people say). i'll also add: akame ga kill (total garbage) jojo (cringy af, dropped 5 episodes in) |
 |
| Jojo is the only show I've felt was extremely overhyped. Only managed to watch a few episodes and that was while watching the show with friends-- haven't decided it was worth my time to watch on my own. |
CHLO_JO007 said: The recent popular isekai like Shield Hero and Reincarnated as a Slime. All my friends told me to watch it, but they're kinda boring. CHLO's right in my opinion. They got a lot of attention for putting a bit of a spin on the isekai genre, but once that wore off, the shows themselves were not all that great (except for the Kevin Penkin soundtrack in Shield Hero). A lot of people seem to like Mirai Nikki And The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia, but I thought the former was full of gaping plot holes and contradictions, while Haruhi was simply not interesting to me. |
It's not like I like anime or anything. |
| Easy the correct answer is FMAB /Close. @Loonitick Jojo needs some time, atleast watch part 2 |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Here are some examples for me: Kizumonogatari, the movies, it's just very average, I don't get it why the hype. More recently Yakusoku no Neverland, when the things got better, the season ended, definitely an anime "8". Steins Gate 0, it's just the same as the first season, but far from the same "quality". It's kind of you just want to end as quickly as possible. One Punch Man first season, it's very good, but not as much as I heard of it. |
| Your Lie in April. So many people hail it as a masterpiece, on the basis that it gave them the "feels" and made them cry. As if emotional manipulation is supposed to equal quality or something. |
| Cowboy Bebop, I think its overrated.Im probably gonna get a lot of hate now HAHA |
 |
Mila91 said: Cowboy Bebop, I think its overrated.Im probably gonna get a lot of hate now HAHA I feel the same way. I didnt find it to be interesting at all. Felt boring to me. |
| @ScootTheBurbs Oh great, I felt like I was alone on this one XD OMG and your favorite character is Sugimoto I love him!  |
|
Mila91 said: @ScootTheBurbs Oh great, I felt like I was alone on this one XD OMG and your favorite character is Sugimoto Hell yeah! Golden Kamuy is fucking amazing. Such a good read. |
| Bakemonogatari was, for me, a huge disappointment. I could barely finish it, and would never want to willingly watch the other seasons. I wouldn't call it garbage or anything, but it definitely wasn't my cup of tea, and I think it's pretty overblown in general. Future Diary is absolute trash with almost no redeeming qualities. Extremely overrated, and the only reason it has as many fans as it does is because of Yuno (who isn't even that great of a character). Akame ga Kill for reasons others have mentioned. I also never understood the appeal of Gintama. Comedy is very subjective though, so I won't judge. I just think it gets far too much praise for what is otherwise a very mediocre show. |
| When you stand at the cliff's edge, staring into the darkness below, the most horrifying realization is not that you might slip, but that you could leap. |
| I can't stress enough how Bunny Girl's and Slime Datta Ken's popularity baffles me. Safeanew said: NHK ni Youkoso! is overrated. It is a good comedy show, but it fails as a social commentary. I hope people avoid learning too many "life lessons" from that show. Maybe because it's not really trying to do social commentary nor give life lessons. It's just a story about broken and awful people. Unless you count "don't act like any of these people" as life lessons. |

You should shit about shows that you have watched. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| On a personal level, Nichijou and Hellsing Ultimate On a more general level, maybe Quintessential Quintuplets considering how MAL roasts generic harems |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| This is a more complex subject than you think, because it depends a lot on the taste of each person, but there are some tendencies like animes shounem (battle or sport) this genre passes much excitement which helps people to give high marks. Another genre like this is the drama is very common to see animes of drama receive good ratings much because of tinkering with people's feelings. |

Stygian_Prisoner said: Your Lie in April. So many people hail it as a masterpiece, on the basis that it gave them the "feels" and made them cry. As if emotional manipulation is supposed to equal quality or something. I think there's a lot more to it than that, though it definitely hits closer to home if you're a musician (go figure, right?). Being a performing artist requires a certain level of passion for the work that doesn't exist in other professions. Listen to interviews with any great musicians, painters, writers, actors, etc. and you'll see what I mean. They're the epitome of people who do their jobs not because they simply want their next paycheck, but because they're genuinely in love with what they do. They enjoy every aspect of the creative process, and they enjoy seeing the reactions of people who appreciate their work. For them, there's no greater pleasure than to breath life into the deepest parts of the human soul. And yes, it definitely sounds cliche as hell, and it's not something everyone can understand. Me personally, I played saxophone for 6 years in both my highschool's and my university's Jazz band, and even today I regret having to give it up. Those "cliche" moments from YLiA were commonplace for me at one point, so watching it really hit home for me. No one who has truly felt the joys and the sorrows of music could dislike this anime. Because it's so incredibly accurate in how it depicts the extreme juxtaposition young musicians face. The years of struggling and desperation trying to perfect your craft vs. the few brief minutes on stage when all that work culminates in a giant outpouring of emotion for the world to see. I don't think YLiA is an anime that can move people to tears the same way something like Clannad or Anohana would, because the later two deal with topics far more relatable to the general viewer. YLiA has a more specialized audience, which is why I don't blame anyone who says it wasn't their cup of tea (and conversely, I thoroughly enjoy hearing people without a musical background talk about how much they loved it). |

| @AngryCactus and @PunkRocker2001 re Haruhi -- as someone who liked that show, I liked it for Kyon's deadpan responses to the craziness around him, rather than anything Haruhi herself did. Haruhi is like someone who doesn't know that they're annoying, and is certainly not particularly likeable as a person though I found her interesting in combination with Kyon's reactions to her. The other main characters (Yuki, Mikuru, Itsuki) I also found not particularly interesting. So for me the show was pretty much carried by Kyon's reactions to things; anyone who isn't entertained by that, I'd surmise, wouldn't be very entertained by the show as a whole. Some people also point out how the show is a groundbreaking combination of a variety of different genres, combining school, slice-of-life, science fiction, romance, comedy, and drama in radical ways, so I guess there's a possibility that one might enjoy it for that. That wasn't what drew me though. |

Its definitely over hyped, and I thought the first half of the first season was rather boring and actually dropped it the first time I tried it, but Stardust Crusaders, and Golden Wind arcs are prime and now I'm something of a Jojo fan. If you want to give it another shot, you can pretty much jump right into Stardust Crusaders with no prior knowledge and enjoy it as long as you know the name Dio Brando. |

| It's usually only the dramatic shit like Clannad, Your Lie in April, or Kimi no Na Wa. I can't get sentimental and sappy over characters who are just sad and have upsetting backstories, I like to actually understand and be invested in them. At least for most action series or even slightly less, isekai, I get where people want to say "it's different which makes it good" but they're still wrong. |

| @MadHobbit2 gotta agree its incredibly overrated the jokes get old incredibly fast @thevagus doesnt really matter how many he watched, its the same thing throughout the entire show that said i've only seen 240 episodes or smth around that number personally i don't think its bad and i enjoyed it much more back then, but at the 200 mark it just got incredibly boring so i dropped the 2nd season i used to think it was funny honestly im surprised i watched that many in the first place _____ So some i think are overrated Gintama - comedy gets old / monotonous One Piece - horrendous pacing and character designs Bakemonogatari - absolutely appalling camera angles and directing Perfect Blue - bland character and way too fucking disturbing, might as well make an anime about someone torturing people all day would make just as much sense Stranger Mukou Hadan - bland characters, predictable plot (had to watch this again because i literally fell asleed during this one the first time thats how boring it was) Akira - absolutely horrible art Mushishi - horrendous pacing, to get the message across 50 mins in total/mini movie, would have been enough |
