I don't have any examples, but I'm more than keen to hear what people will prop up.

Just figure what anime, to you, gets the most undeserved hate and whatever ridiculous reason that hate is somehow justified.

Any popular anime for simply being popular.

i came here to say rent a gf as well. it doesn't even deserve one percent of the hate it gets. there are far worse mc's out there but people only target kazuya for some reason. there are many haters who hate the anime because of the manga. this is just incomprehensible, the anime hasn't even reached the part in the manga which they hate and the anime still gets so much hate. the anime is literally made so fucking well, you can see the production quality, directing, the music choices, everything is done so well. the story is entertaining as hell, kazuya is undergoing a little development too, he shines when he needs too, he's still as honry as ever but i don't know why people hate him for being so real and normal.

to this day i don't understand why people waste so much of thier time and energy just to hate on rent a gf, if they hate it then it's ok, just move on but no, they will go to every episode discussion and rate it hated it, go to list and rate it 1. this still remains a mystery to me, they hate it so much yet they can't get over it. my problem isn't that they hate it, my problem is they go out of thier way to shit on it, like go get a life, watch some animes you enjoy, go outside, have a chat with your parents or something, don't get fixated on something you hate. such people need psychological help fr.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Yes I know the MC is pretty cringe, but I don't doubt many people are fairly similar to him in irl. People complaining because they think they are more deserving of living in a fantasy world where a group of attractive girls like them is pretty funny.

Also, anyone mad about him not confessing probably has never confessed to a girl irl.
i think the proper hate for rent a girlfriend is because it has no redeeming qualities. I am more surprised that there are people who like chizuru. those are hypocrites because her character is as bad as the mc. and let's not talk about the manga. It is cursed.

Many OVAs from the 90s are hated or shat on by the Western community for seemingly the stupidest reasons.

Eiken used to get a lot of hate and I really don't know why.

I'm gonna say Darling in the FRANXXX. A lot of people give it shit all because of a certain scene and I've never understood why. I swear, weeaboos get all bent out of shape over the stupidest reasons.

Speaking of getting bent out of shape for stupid reasons, my 2nd place pick would be Goblin Slayer and the amount of hate it gets from woke SJWs over the first episode. Jesus Christ, people, get fucking over yourselves. Depictions of sexual assault have been used to drive plots since the days of Greek myths. It's nothing new and it's not something that's going to stop because you have thin skin and can't handle more mature imagery.

Uzaki Chan wants to hang out with senpai.. (she actually wants to have babies and marry senpai)
But people can't seem to support this romantic comedy and show bitterness towards the characters because they got no girl or senpai, so they're mad with jealousy.

Chainsaw Man. The animation for the fights looks better than most modern anime, the direction is exactly what I was expecting as a manga reader, and it hasn't cut anything important so far (and don't pretend that you were looking forward to the muscle devil. Most fans forgot it even existed until the fact that it was cut from episode 2 got leaked. It's literally nobody's favorite fight)

The people hating on it are all either contrarians or manga readers who set their expectations unrealistically high.

Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi - better than recent generic fantasy shows at least.

Platinum End - it wasn't bad as much as it was a letdown, from what we were hoping for.

Saiyuuki Reload: Zeroin - not enough people watched this, that needs to be remedied.

Black★★Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall - Ikkitousen and Prince of Tennis, maybe deserve the hate, or cold shoulder their getting, but this series does not.

Like CSM is not hated, tbh animation is amazing, it is just some ppl or Twittertards who complaining about it, i think it is almost with every hyped anime with good animation ppl will be doing that, i think same was with JJk or other stuff. But still it is succes, but it is obvious tbh these ppl doesnt matter cuz it is still highly rated nd so on. And like MAPPA doing so good even simple movements, facial expressions are top tier show me atleast 5 anime with that kind of threat.

I could name a lot of anime that aren't good, but not even as bad as people say (Darling in the FranXX, Rent a Girlfriend, Redo of Healer, Hoshi no Samidare), but I want to pick something backed up by data and not just my feelings.

Kuzu no Honkai. Rated around 7.9-8.0 (very high score for a fairly sexual anime, you can imagine it rated 8.5 if you replace sex with holding hands) on MAL while it was airing and AOTS according to AniTrendz, its score plummeted at the end. People hated what happened at the end and I'm not a supporter of that either, but to me it doesn't look like it was being portrayed as "the right thing to do". It's not even unrealistic.

Sword Ass Online. It fine enjoyable off-brain anime with good animation and badass edgy scenes. Even if characters is bland Gary Stu and many the sexualize gross fanservice happen. I probably still say this is one of the best anime ever for newcomers/newbie.

It has no redeming qualities? It pretty much has them, people hate it because the MC is a simp and Chizuru doesn't fall in love with the MC even after 200+ chapters, and chapter 218 which wasn't even bad, just that people cry for the most minimal implication of NTR in anywhere.

This. Granted a lot of them are far from perfect, the only reason they get more hate than much shittier shows is because they're more well known and have a larger fanbase.

- Black Clover is probably the most underserved hated shonen considering it is one of the best of its breed.

- Kanojo Okarishimasu, there are far worse romcoms out there and far worse MCs. But as I mentioned above it is hated because the MC is a simp and Chizuru doesn't fall in love with the MC even after 200+ chapters, and chapter 218 which wasn't even bad, just that people cry for the most minimal implication of NTR in anywhere.

So, you know how hype works? A bunch of people will be excited about a show, and because there's a lot of them, they'll reinforce each other's excitement until there are a bunch of people who are so insanely hyped for something that they'll swear it's the best show ever. There's kind of the opposite of that as well. There will be something that a bunch of people don't really like or were a bit disappointed by, and because there's a lot of them, they'll reinforce each other's dislike until that thing seems like the worst piece of media to ever exist. It's anti-hype, things will become popular to hate. So, basically how a lot of people didn't really like High Guardian Spice, so it became popular to act like every aspect of it was an affront to the concept of good writing. Honestly it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, but because it was popular to say otherwise, it got an extremely bad reputation.

That's a good point. I can understand that some people just won't care for some shows, and those shows can be popular, but popular shows tend to get zealously overhated.

Eh, I didn't hate it, but there was definitely more than just one scene that was to its detriment. In particular, since the main emotional core was wrapped up near the middle, I didn't really care for anything after episode 15. I hear the manga fixes a lot of the problems I had with it though, so I might read that some time.

One that stands out for me is Fate/stay night by Deen. When I wanted to start watching the Fate series, several people recommended me not to see the show and to start with the Ufotable adaptations.. I didn't want to skip any part of the main story, so I gave it a try, expecting a terrible show. I ended up really liking it, even if the pacing felt off in some parts of the story. The thing is that Ufotable makes adaptations with such a high level of quality that Fate/stay night may feel a little underwhelming when compared to Zero, UBW or Heaven's Feel.

I don't know about others, but I did not find any redeeming qualities in the show. all the characters were awful. I did not feel any connection to characters. even four coma and random one-shot manga make me more invested. the comedy was some of the most unfunny I have seen. I was waiting for them to do something funny, but it never happened in 12 episodes. the only reason I was able to finish it was because I was going through the phase where i wanted to finish every show I start. after watching kanokari i decided to start dropping shows i don't like to save time. good for you if you like it though.

I don't have an answer for what anime I think gets the most undeserved hate of all time, but out of what has been released this year, "Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie" got so much hate and people were jumping on this anti-Izumi bandwagon. Neither are even that awful. The dislike was overblown.

there are few, but most of them are show that no one knows, so I will only talk about the most popular anime that is like that.

madoka magica rebellion:

if people complained because of the info dump after the first twist, it would at least make sense. it's not a big enough flaw to make the movie hate worthy, but it would make sense.

but they complain at the final twist, and say THAT ruined the movie, made no sense, and was out of character. and all of those are just wrong. it was the type of twist that you kind of needed to rewatch the series while knowing it and get all the "aha" moments.

but sadly, a lot of people just never gave it the benefit of the doubt.

hopefully the 4th movie will change that.

Sword Art Online immediately comes to mind. I do have a soft spot for it, so I'm (a little) biased, but, I feel like a lot of people talk about their issues with Kirito being perfect, and his harem, as well as just like, issues with the show in general- without fully understanding just how much A-1 Pictures exaggerated a lot of those elements in their adaption.

I mean, I'm not saying the source material is perfect or anything... (I have my problems with it as well-) but a lot of things that people bring up when bashing Sword Art Online, are specific to- or are exaggerated in- the anime. Plus, a lot of the things that people bash are also things that Sword Art Online initially popularized to begin with.

And I also wouldn't say that Sword Art Online is an amazing anime, or anything like that. But I just wish more people would at least recognize the missteps in its adaption before hating on it so much.

I guess Haruhi Suzumiya, especially the second season, it's not like the endless eight arc is even that bad. I personally think that endless eight was a really cool creative decision, and it serves to make you relate to Nagato Yuki. Yeah I understand that 8 nearly identical consecutive episodes is a bit much, however I personally really liked checking for the differences in the episodes. Although I guess that's just me.
