| Basically what i want to know about are,the animes or mangas, which you guys never thought, would become so popular, or the series, which you guys think , does not deserve its popularity, either due to bad characters,story or animation. For me, it's definitely Shingeki no kyojin and OPM Fyi,i really like Snk, and really think that it deserves to be popular, but definitely not as much as it has now become.What makes me stop, from giving it a perfect score, is it's main whiny protagonist and bad art(for manga) along with some other minor problems. OPM,on the other hand is a series which i never really liked,from the characters to story, there is nothing interesting about this series,which is a surprise,as i really loves superhero genre and an overpowered Mc, the only saving grace is its beautiful art by murata sensei There are few other series too, which i think does not deserve its popularity but these two are at the top |
| Akame Ga Kill, SAO, Shield Hero, Violet Evergarden, Darling in the Tropess |

This is like 10th tread with the same question why is X(overrated,underrated,popular,unpopular,hated,loved,etc...) and the answer is the same different anime fans have different taste.

| I think it's popular because more people watch it than ever before. Shounen is like portals to different dimension and attack on titan just happened to be where the unusual stuffs happening. I don't watch Jojo but I think it's fair for it's popularity given how people enjoy making memes out of it. |
| Angel Beats' popularity is still a mystery to me. I don't think it's bad but #10 popular anime of all time is strange... The same for Death Parade I don't mention any shounen and isekai cuz they're all popular and we can't do anything about them. |
| -After a lot of thinking to myself I still have no damn clue what the interest in Overlord is. -Another one is Your Name. The movie is fine, but doesn’t deserve the rating it gets on mal. -Oregairu is also fine but I found so many issues with it I almost dropped it. I guess I can see the appeal in it with the main character but the drama and everything else was awful. |

Agree with your review about Your name,i also found it to be incredibly generic romantic drama, which you can find in most of the romance anime's and yet, for some reason, it became so popular and although i also liked it, but not as much as many others who gave it perfect 10 |
| Every damn isekai. It's the same shit literally 75% of the time and people still eat it up |

| Darker than Black. I don't really see what's so great about it, besides some of the action choreography. Also, the story is really vague, with not really a decent ending. |
 |
| I want to say Evangelion, but I think me saying that is just a product of time. I watched it last year, and didn't understand the hype at all, because I had seen quite a few shows that just did that style of storytelling better. If you put it in its timeframe, though, you can see how many things it inspired. But on its own, I stand by the statement. I don't think it's all that. |
  |
| Youjo Senki is my number one response. Not because I found it bad or anything (I enjoyed the series myself), but because I never thought that an anime with such ridiculous premise (Japanese salaryman dies and gets reincarnated into an arian military loli) would get so popular among anime fans. I thought the general reaction would be something like Killing Bites, something dumb, but enjoyable, but, nope, it ended becoming one of the most popular anime of the season and the year. These days, I'm still wondering how it became so noteworthy. |

So your argument is that people like and dislike different things but then you're upset that different people dislike different things? I will never understand how Re: Zero, Shield Hero and Attack on Titan got as popular as they did. |

I will never understand how Re: Zero, Shield Hero and Attack on Titan got as popular as they did. I'm not upset that different people like or dislike different things I respect other people preferences. I only have a problem with people who demand from others to like/dislike whatever they like/dislike. I'm not sure where did you get the idea that I'm upset but nevertheless I hope this clears any misconceptions. Well you did go "all anime that are popular are popular for a reason" in a thread asking which anime people cannot understand the popularity of. Thanks for clearing up any misconceptions though. |

| Nope, because I can understand everything. |
 |
| I watched many of them especially neon genesis evangellion |
| Kaichou wa maid-sama and darling in the franxx. I just don’t see much of the appeal and they’re just very forgettable. But if someone found some enjoyment in them why should I ruin the fun, at least someone got something out of them |
 |
| Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san - They make bullying out to be cute. I don't get how people could enjoy watching that. |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| Its usually not hard to see why a time and place equals a product that gets big, if it's deserving or not. The only one that kinda puzzles me but I KINDA GET IT are any of Makoto Shinkai's work. I get they're pretty to look at but are people just starved for same looking heterosexuals to fall in love with one another in dramatic fashion. Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo is unwatchable and if you've watched basically any Ghibli movie you've done better and the backgrounds look good yes but the characters don't give you anything to remember or want more for. |
 |
| I agree with your main assertion concerning Shingeki no Kyojin, I don't know why SNK has become as popular as it is, I've put the second season on hold atm as I was finding it hard to get through. Despite all the hype I just don't find it engaging enough to keep me hooked, watching one episode after another. The first season really drew me into its world and certainly piqued my interest, but I've felt the second season has been somewhat of a let dow. I've heard that the 3rd season and ending sound interesting so expect I'll resurrect S2 at some point and push through. |
 |
| Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai..... It was decent, but I simply did not understand what the hype was all about.... Saying that, I do have some high hopes for the movie though |
| I just recently started watching Blue Exorcist and couldn't even get 10 episodes in. I really have no idea how it got its popularity |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| Elfen Lied, Akame ga Kill and the Tokyo Ghoul sequels. (Especially S2 and S4) I guess the appeal for Akame was the fact Elfen Lied, it's alright but I guess it was THE edge show that just got popular. Tokyo Ghoul sequels ... - I guess it's just popular because of it's name now and the known popularity from the manga and first season. Tokyo Ghoul:Re worked quite well because it was set as a timeskip but if you dont follow it up with anytihng at all in the sequel to :Re ... just shame honestly. |

They are nowhere near the quality of previous decade when they won the Oscar, let alone their 80s and 90s films that also targeted older audiences. But they have traditional connections with Disney and Hollywood 15 / 07 / 19 After searching through multiple threads on AD i have come across the daily award for dumbest post of the day. I;'m guessing you never watched "When Marnie was there" or "Tale of Princess Kaguya" cause those are both unabated masterpieces. |

mwalimu said: Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san - They make bullying out to be cute. I don't get how people could enjoy watching that. Hmm, this is hard, but I do agree with you, which is why I prefer the other version of the story(manga exclusive), which is about Takagi and her interaction with her daughter, which she teases a lot. But there's a rising trend of teasing female characters towards male characters, a lot of their mangas are popular. As for the thread, I still can't explain why I loved Shield hero before, now I hate it, but I'm not surprised why it got popular, or rather the majority of 24 episodes light novel anime. |

| Going to take an unusual opinion in this thread and say Steins;Gate. No matter how incredible the second half is, on a first viewing the first half is a complete slog to get into without much in the way of interesting characters (Okabe seems to get better later). Considering that’s **12 episodes* of mediocrity/a slog on the first watch it’s really surprising to me Steins;Gate is as popular as it is. |

| Oh look, another overrated thread in disguise and of course snk has to be in it. @madarchod The better question to be ask would be, why fairy tail is so popular. |

If you want to insult someone then pls insult the user, not the little old man Miyazaki. |

No disrespect to Miyazaki - he has 4 films in my top 10 all time (Spirited Away, Mononoke, Totoro, and Howl's moving castle) But I do believe Kimi no na wa was better than any of them individually. |
