| can just simply say honestly while still consider his feelings. such as, sorry, i didn't enjoy it much, i think it's not my cup of tea. I can see why you/ppl like it though. this should be enough imo. he might ask why. then you can explain why. maybe you can have civil argument about it too. |

| I wouldn't lie and say that I enjoyed it, but I also wouldn't be a jerk and say that it was terrible (even if I thought it was). I would probably thank my friend for the recommendation, then I might say something like, "I can see why you liked it so much, but I don't know... I guess this one just wasn't really a good fit for me. It's not the kind of thing I usually like. I'm really glad I gave it a chance, though! It was worth checking out." Then I would probably leave the conversation on a positive note by talking about something I DID like about the series (or at least didn't hate), whether it's a particular character, plot point, the comedy, the action scenes, or even just the animation or voice acting, anything at all, just to show my friend that I did give it a fair chance and watched it with an open mind. It would also kind of depend on the personality of my friend, and the kind of relationship that we had. With some friends, you can speak more frankly, while with others, they might take things a little harder, so you have to be more careful with your words. |

| U live not to satisfy people around world just say what u want to say n give reason why u like or dislike it at least they know about ur statement. Problem they will accept or reject it only subjective matter from a part of human discord |

| "I appreciate the recommendation you have given to me, but my apologies that I am not too fond of this anime, maybe it is just not for me" |

| I typically never give or take recommendations. I just watch what interests me and if someone asks me what's a good show I usually ignore it. I only respond if the question is towards a particular show rather than asking for one. |

| Man do I hate when people say that, it's just not possible to tell if that will be the case or not. Anyways being honest would be the best thing to do, especially between friends. |
| I honestly just say the truth. My friend told me to watch Anohana since I liked Shigatsu. So I did and I didn't like it. I don't see the problem with telling a friend you didn't like something. |

| One doesn't like to offend people, especially friends. On the other hand, taking offense because others don't share our personal tastes is not a good trait, and if your friends are hurt when you don't like what they do, it's they who are at fault. (Speaking of which, imagine what the anime community would be like, if we all started hating on other fans just because they have different taste.) And there's the practical side too: if you don't tell them the truth, you run the risk that they will keep recommending shitty shows, and next time it will be harder for you to tell them. A lie has to be nipped in the bud - take a lesson from Riko Kurahashi (Love Lab). |
 |
| It depends on the level of friendship 'that guy' have with his/her friend. If it's just on the stranger-friend level, then just tell it nicely. But if 'that guy' is with a best friend level with that friend, then it's okay to say that "it's garbage and your taste sucks" lmao |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| Just say something like “I wasn’t a fan” or “I couldn’t get into it.” |
 |
| My go-to is the "I understand the appeal of it, but it just wasn't for me". If I view myself as a friend of whoever suggested the show, I may go a bit more in-depth about why, but that's also led to people screaming at me for not liking their favorite show so like. Idk anymore |

Playay said: What should this guy say/do? Just be honest. If you need to beat around the bush or make up lies about how you feel, you are more likely to open a can of worms for later. And if the guy is scared of losing friends, well wake up! Friends who stop being friends with you over one difference aren't really your friend. |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| If I were your friend I would just honestly tell him what I feel about it and why I dislike the show. Try to state the points what I dislike and not too harsh to the point of insulting. Lastly, appreciate it because he already try to recommend a show to watch even if it doesnt suit to what I want. |
  |
| If he's got the "opposite taste of anime" why did you even listen to his recommendation in the first place? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Uhm you can perhaps try something like; "So yeah i watched what u told me to, but honestly I didn't really enjoy it. It's not that it's bad or anything. It's just not exactly up my alley." |
| sincerity is the best, just say you don't like it, it's not your type of anime |
    |
| Were there any redeeming qualities of that anime that appealed to you/you liked? Maybe you/person in point could talk about things you liked/didn’t like about it. It could spark a discussion & I’m sure your friend would love to talk about it more with you, even if they liked that anime there could be things they might agree with you about! When my friend recommends me something/we have different tastes I usually just tell them what I liked/didn’t like about it. They would appreciate the discussion, I hope hahahaha |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| say it was bad. it's a lot easier to do than it sounds, but don't act like a dick about it, just say it ain't my cup of tea. |
| "不幸だ!" - Kamijou Touma Check out my anime list by clicking here (it's public now).  |
| friends are people you can speak honestly with. |
| Bleach is best consumed with your ears open and your eyes closed. |
| I have a friend with taste exactly opposite to mine, we make fun of each other's taste whenever we talk but that kinda fun for us, we are cool when it comes to anime but I don't know about your situation so I can't really say for sure but lying and saying it was good would be a bad idea. |
  |
| I would say: "It wasn't bad, just not to my taste." |
...At least let me finish.   |
| "That shit fucking sucked never recommend me something ever again" Ofcourse the reply depends on your relationship but if your friend calls himself a weeb or otaku I'd advise you to choose your words wisely |
| It's the most immature thing, when you are asked about some recommendations and you just start recommending your favorites. I almost never recommend my favorites. I base my recommendations on a person's preferences. I even can recommend things I gave a 3 or a 4. And you know what, my recommendations usually get more helpful than of those dummies who just thoughtlessly throw their favorite lists in others' faces. And that sissy bullshit like "I don't want to hurt their feelings" is ridiculous. You are afraid to hurt a friend's feelings because your friend might get offended, because he doesn't give a fuck about your own feelings? Are you a masochist? Fuck such friends. |

| Someone you cant just be honest and upfront with is not someone you can truly be friends with. Trying not to hurt peoples feelings and with holding the truth will only hurt you, them or you both in the end. |

It's normal to want to share the things you love, especially with friends. Not everyone has an encyclopedic knowledge of anime. Not everyone has 1000+ anime completed to draw recommendations from. To answer the question: it never hurts to be nice. If you don't like the show and are worried about hurting your friend's feelings, just say you couldn't get into it. Soften the blow by saying one good thing about it, compliment the soundtrack or whatever. No need for harsh criticism. |
