More specifically, titles that I used to have marked as favourites but I either stopped liking or realized I didn't really loved to count them as favourites.

Watched from 2009 until it finished. Used to love it when it was among my first ten anime.

Watched in 2009. Used to love it when it was among my first ten anime but Shippuden and the manga made me hate the franchise in its entirety.

I used to love whatever of it was dubbed in latin american when I was a kid.
TV, 1986,

Watched in 2010 if memory serves right, at the time I loved almost everything that was a fighting shounen.
TV, 2011,
24 eps

Watched in 2015, at that time everything that wasn't a fighting shounen would blow up my mind. By now this title is nothing to me more than a pretentious date sim that goes in circles, changes its rules along the way, and ends defying everything it set up throughout its whole duration. Plus, weebtaku humor and archetypes.
TV, 2012,
22 eps

Watched in 2015, at that time everything that wasn't a fighting shounen would blow up my mind, even more if it was sociological. One year later I got into Ghost in the Shell. Nowadays I hate Urobuchi.
TV, 2006,
25 eps

I don't remember when I watched this but it was among my first twenty anime for sure. Something like Gundam and Death Note combined, how not to love it as a teenager?
TV, 2011,
12 eps

Watched in 2015. There's a pattern in here isn't it? I was blown away by a dark magical girl series, about a week later I did a five minute research to realize this title is nothing really special. Nowadays I hate Urobuchi.
TV, 2000,
167 eps

Watched from 2008 to 2009, took some time. Also rewatched in 2021. This could be considered my first non childhood anime that got me into this world. I still like it but not enough to count it as a favourite.
TV, 2009,
26 eps

Unlike the previous series I never bothered to rewatch it, what for? It adapted the rest of the manga in a comically rushed way, sometimes it would even cover one hundred chapters in one episode.
TV, 1989,
291 eps

Of course, most people loved Dragon Ball Z at some point in their lives. I bought almost all the sagas and movies (at the time) plus GT on DVD. Nowadays I can barely watch some clips of it.
TV, 2006,
24 eps

Man did I love this franchise at the time. Well, actually, there was only this series and the movie, so it was in 2011, even before Zero came out. I remember finishing this series and starting it all over again as soon as I finished it. I loved it THAT MUCH. Then I did the same thing again at least one more time. Then I rewatched again and well, you get it.
TV, 2011,
13 eps

Same thing as Stay Night, I loved this series when it came out. Then I finished the second season and then I rewatched the whole thing as soon as I finished it. Then I rewatched it again and again. Nowadays I hate Urobuchi.
TV, 1999,

Watched from 2009 (I watched the Big Three one after the other) to whenever Gyojin Island aired, then I stopped. I remember rewatching the first arcs one or two times.

I added this title to my favourites temporarily because I loved the final fight, but I didn't really liked the rest of the movie as much so.
Movie, 1993,

Same thing as with Sword of the Stranger, loved the fights but not the story as much.
Movie, 1994,

I was so into Street Fighter at some point in my life, thus I loved the movie. Then I rewatched the movie years later. Loved the action and visuals but not enough to love the actual stuff all that much. Just like the games, I still like it but not as much to consider it a favourite.
OVA, 2009,
1 ep

This is the Street Fighter anime I like the most. Unlike the first, I loved the plot and characters even if they weren't really good. The problem here were the ending and that by the time I rewatched it I no longer loved Street Fighter.

I added this title to my favourites temporarily because of Juri.

Adding this and the two movies below to my favourites was my most pretentious moment as an anime fan yet. Good stuff but I would be lying if I were to pretend I loved them.

This one I really liked at the time for two reasons. It was very different to anything else (it kinda still is), and I found it more enjoyable than Akira (I still do, the anime, not the manga by the way). Actually there were three reasons, I really liked the visuals. Actually there were four reasons, I really liked the sound design. I rewatched it some time later and didn't like it as much, but I still liked it and I find it worth watching.
OVA, 2004,

I liked it because it's an older Kill la Kill, but including it as a favourite was definitely too much.
OVA, 2001,

Loved the action and powers but that was not enough.
TV, 2010,

At the time (2017) I loved it because of how politically incorrect it was, and also because IT'S A CARTOON, BUT IT'S ANIME, HOW COOL IS THAT? As years went by I find this series to be quite stupid, and now I rather watch Helluva Boss. I still want to watch the sequel, of which I don't expect a single good thing.
TV, 2014,

Watched it in 2015. It was fun. 2022/09/29. I finished rewatching the older Bastard!! and now I kinda want to rewatch this.

Watched in 2015 because I liked Gurren Lagann. Man what a year. Same thing as Re: Cutey Honey.

Hahaha. I got to know about this title thanks to Serial Experiments Lain, also in 2015. Loved how different it was. I think this is the title that made me know about Madoka Magica. Anyways rewatched in 2021. I still like it because it's different and because of that out of this world music but calling it a favourite would be a bit too much.
TV, 2013,

Same thing, if it's different, I love it. Not really.

I wanted to watch this movie as soon as I knew about it. I did and really liked it on a conceptual level, and I think it's very well put together all things considered. But in retrospect I never feel much while watching it so no, not a favourite.

Satanic sick shit.
Hi.
This is me.
I read and watched Ghost in the Shell.
I loved Ghost in the Shell.
I looked up more stuff about it.
I ended up watching this title based on something made by the same author, so that means I love it. Because that's how it works right?
Right?
Though I love Terminator and Predator, thus I rewatched it, and I still liked it.

2022/09/29. I finished rewatching it thanks to the newer Bastard!! and surprinsingly I found the two to be pretty equal in terms of quality, even more suprisingly I ended up enjoying the second cour of the remake more. And that's how this list came to be by the way.
TV, 2013,

I added this title to my favourites temporarily because I loved the finale, which was basically the most anti-harem thing ever without ending in a bloodshed. I had that exact feeling in my chest and heart that lets me know when I love something I consume. And at that time that feeling was almost unparalleled, but, after some months I thought to myself: I loved the finale, but not the rest of the season. I liked it because I absolutely despised everything else in the franchise before it, but that shouldn't excuse to add a whole series to my favourites.

2017.
Hi.
This is me.
I watched Gurren Lagann two years ago.
I liked Gurren Lagann two years ago.
I looked up something similar from the same people or studio, and that means I love it too, because that's how it works right?
Right?
Like with the previous title, and the next entry, I adored the finale but not the rest of the series at the same level.

I don't know what to tell about this one. I liked it, it was fun. But to include it among my favourites seemed a bit too much for some reason. Unlike some titles from this list I don't want to rewatch it for some reason.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I used to love this title as a child. I rewatched this on television time and time again. Good times. Nowadays I can barely finish the best regarded entries in the franchise.

Oh yes how could I forget. I think I watched this around the time I watched a certain hentai title which led me to watch more stuff by the same character designer. Also I'm pretty sure Bastard!! had something to do with it. I kinda want to read the manga. Digimon was a better entry to finish the list but it is what it is.
