Battle shounen are garbage and so are CGDCT moeblob shows. Anime died when mecha productions started to go down in numbers.

Yugioh Sevens is actually a really solid anime (English subbed of course). I liked all of 3d Berserk. Fantasy Bishoujo is the best isekai.

Gundam SEED is one of the best Gundam series.
Gundam Unicorn would be one of the worst Gundam series if it weren't for the nice visuals and music.
Dragon Ball is better than the big 3. Also better than all the "new big 3" people try to decide upon but can't.
Gintama hasn't been good since episode 316 except for Porori hen which made the series good again for a short while.

It seemed like everywhere i went people weren't that fond of One Punch Man's second season at all but i really didn't have any issues with it, especially since it had all of it's most famous girls like Tatsumaki.

People are way too fucking annoying about loli's, if you can't comprehend that a loli is obviously far removed from a literal child, then you're just paranoid.

If a female anime character is a minor (for example 16), but acts and/or looks like a grown up adult women, i don't think people should be cancelled for liking the character or drawing them lewd. Beside, it's not a real girl

I like the fact that more and more members aren't afraid of saying the truth about made in abyss, they aren't afraid of the fan gang that was around just a few months ago.

What happened to those fans? Reality kicked their teeth out with a karate kick.

Oh, and that Summer Time Rendering isn't the next best thing since sliced bread. Another dud to be added to list of duds of Summer 2022 rooster.

Shit I could put the entire summer 2022 season in here except for Parallel World Pharmacy and even that one felt a bit off by the end of it's run.

Shinbo Akiyuki is overrated
Long running series like Pokemon, Detective Conan and Yu Gi Oh are great and we need more of it
Shoujo anime are underrated
Dragon Ball Z > Dragon Ball and it's not because of the action
BnHA is incredibly bland and only got popular because it took in Naruto's fans
Toei is a great studio despite its flaws
Honobono Log - best slice of life short

I liked it lol Its pointless, dumb, and.. kind of fun

Mine:
Death Note is average at best
Demon Slayer is slightly above average at best
Re:Zero becomes aggressively "meh" after leaving the mansion arc
Isekais are a fun, albeit mostly trashy, watch
The only good Gundam is Origin
Kaguya-sama is over-rated (though still a fun watch, admittedly)
Parasyte is a dark comedy, and nothing more
Dorohedoro lost itself in trying to be unique, and ended up as kind of a mess

And perhaps my hottest take..

I think my most unpopular opinion that gets people actually mad on this site and in general is:

Anime piracy is bad, and there's no moral justification for it besides region locking.
Crunchyroll/Funimation get too much undeserved hate (not saying all the hate is undeserved)

One Punch Man season 1 was ok. The concept and visuals were good, but there was no real conflict (which is also sort of the point), and the ending was completely hollow except for giving a short and random set up for Garou.

Demon Slayer is made for people who need their hand held at every given moment. They need to be told how to feel for every scene and they need every fight overly explained to them. Any time the main character swings his sword and the show doesn't pause to tell the viewer that he swung his sword they think that's revolutionary because of how much it overwhelms them.

- Code Geass (Lelouch of the Rebellion) wasn't all that great (besides a few good scenes, I struggled to get through the first season).
- I think Sakura Haruno (from Naruto) is a decent character (really don't understand the amount of hate she gets), for one thing, she did a lot more than Hinata did.

demon slayer has the worst cast of characters in any main stream shounen I have seen by far.

Re:zero is not well written, its just a good story with extreme attention to detail, but the writing itself is below average.

evangelion 3.0 is the second best rebuild movie, but none of the rebuilds are as good as the original. and none of them are even close to EoE.

moriarty the patriot season 2 sucks and ruined a series that could have been amazing.

lain is not a slow burner, the pacing is just shit. the slowness is not used for build up like in monster or steins;gate, it's just slow for the sake of being slow and that's not a good thing.

you can always try to be more objective, but having an unbiased rating is impossible. a good critic is someone that can understand what is and what isn't their biased, and makes a judgment based of of that.

the original higurashi anime is extremely flawed and out dated. the VN is probably great, but the anime is really overrated.

99.9% of the things that people call problematic are fine.

platinum end sucks, but the ending is surprisingly good. if that same ending happened at the end of a "good" show, many people would call it one of the best endings out there.

hige hiro has 0 redeeming qualities and is a perfect example of a poorly written drama.

attack on titan season 4 is much, much, much worse than s3-1 production wise, and it baffles me how some people try to say it's around the same level.

and aot s4 part 2 dropped the ball HARD in the second half.

dub vs sub is the dumbest argument in anime community and is no different from making a war like "tv shows vs movies" or "food vs drinks"

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT DUB AND WHAT SUB YOU BAFOONS!!!

I have a bunch of shitty & unpopular opinions, but just to name a couple

-Granted I haven't seen all of them, but I feel that Tenki no Ko/Weathering with you is Shinkai's best film, > Your Name & 5 Centimeters Per Second
-Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is not all that great, it's decent at best
-In general Originals > manga adaptations
-ATLA and many other anime-inspired shows are arguably anime. I'm not saying they should necessarily be included on this site, but if you enjoy anime you probably will enjoy at least one of them

Made in Abyss is good just because of the soundtrack, and not even that saved the Bondrewd arc which is just awful. The manga is soulless and terribly written. The author has no idea how to create drama, so he just kills off characters for cheap melodrama. It has a lot of potential but the author never manages to really tap into it.

Kizumonogatari is one of the worst vampire stories ever told. Even Twilight is better than it. People just thinks it's genious because it's by Inisioisin.

On that note, Monogatari is good but its fans overlook a lot of its shortcomings, especially how often Nisioisin bullshits his way through blatant exposition and bad writing and try to pass it as wit.

Elitists don't exist.

Vivy was mediocre. Not terrible, just mediocre, like a below average scifi flick made for streaming. I have no idea how it became such a hit.

Psycho Pass is fine. People like to bash at it for being dumb and pretentious and like to compare it to other cyberpunk works. Cyberpunk not nearly the intelligent genre people make it out to be.

Jojo part 2 is the worst one and Jotaro sucks.

The Akira manga is a masterpiece, but the movie is so much better paced and the 70% of the manga that was cut made absolutely no difference for the story.
