| What's an anime where everyone says it's TAH BES TING EBAR, but you really beg to differ. |
 |
| So basically scroll down the MAL top and start naming titles I dislike? While I don't necessarily hate certain anime, I certainly find them either unworthy of what praise they get [Clannad After Story] or simply uninteresting [Monogatari]. On the manga side, easily 20th Century Boys. |
| Dragon Ball - quality how the characters are drawn. Sailor Moon - same reason. Pokemon - simply boring. Anime that I personally hate, sorry I just had to add these. "Arcana Famiglia" because the characters piss me off with everything they do despite the good quality, the setting, story and backstory. The way the anime progresses upsets me alot, and it sucks that they couldn't do a better job since the anime did have potential. "Haiyore! Nyaruko-san" this was appalling, if only they didn't make it a comedy it would have had some real charm to it. But some people still rated it above 7 and it irritates me that it could have been made better if it was a serious series, but was made into a parody instead. "Fate kaleid liner Prisma�Illya" um well... sooner or later it had to happen. After good anime like Fate stay night, Fate zero, The garden of sinners, it just had to happen. They had to make one crappy enough, just to show us that they could. And I was left dumbfounded. |

| Excellent Topic. 1.) Kuroko no Basket (Both Seasons) 2.) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 3.) Angel Beats! Honorable Mention - Wolf Children Ame and Yuki (Movie) I don't have any on the manga side yet. |
 |
| ooooo interesting I hate last exile I think its super boring, and pretty dumb. The only thing that was somewhat cool, was its steam punk setting. and I dont hate gantz, but I really don't thinks the anime is any good at all. Ive also read the manga for gantz, which was somewhere between "meh" and crap. |

| 1)AnoHana -hated it. Nagi no asukara is 1000 times better. 2)Clannad AS. Almost all my friends gave it 10/10, but I've seen much more intense drama anime than this. 3)Mushishi. Kino no tabi has much more depth (in my opinion) 4) Chimera ant arc from HxH 2011. It's very-very slow comparing to the previous arcs. |

| Me personally: 1. Akira (find it to be the definition of hyper-condensed manga material complete with a plot that makes no god damn sense, and two-dimensional characters) 2. Sword Art Online (It had plenty of plot holes and inconsistencies, stereotypical characters, incredibly rushed story and character development (usually copping out with time skips), and writing so sexist and incompetent that it feels like it was written by a horny thirteen year old) 3.(Certainly the biggest offender) Elfen Lied (not only is the voice-acting and character development crap, but it's also incredibly pretentious and emotionally- manipulative; completely relying on shock value to get its points across; which is very lazy writing. It makes actual good horror series look like the same thing; such as Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. People still see this piece of shit as good; albeit for superficial reasons like its fan-service and action, but some see it as "thought- provoking" and "deep". In reality though, it's nothing more than an edgy pandering product) |

| Neon Genesis Evangelion. |
| Not surprised. |
|
| I'll never understand why people like Another as much as they do, and why it still holds a rating of 8 on MAL. It's a wonder how much a simple OST can do to make an anime "thrilling" when it does nothing to redeem itself with anything else. The setting doesn't make sense, the plot doesn't make sense, and the characters make so little sense that it's enough to make me hate them. And when it wasn't trying to scare your pants off (lol), it was the slowest and gloomiest series I've ever had the misfortune to watch. I mean, seriously, if you're not gonna put any effort into the writing, you could at least sugar-coat it with more exciting stuff. Seriously, if they made it to where there were 5+ people dying every episode, and threw in a little more fan service, I would've loved the hell out of Another. |

ZeroReq011 said: I got one no one will top... I really disliked Gurren Lagann. People tell me I should turn my brain off when watching it, but I think that's just a poor excuse, and I have a pretty tolerant brain as it is. It glorifies everything I loathe about standard shounen. Nice of you to confirm why it will forever remain on my drop list, but hey. To everyone their own. I'd like to list a few for myself, but the fires would just spiral out of control... haha |
| For me Cowboy Bebop and Durarara!! I realize and agree that Cowboy Bebop was well made, but I just can't bring myself to like it. |
| But that's just one opinion. |
| The monogatari series - found them quite slow/uninteresting deadman wonderland - interesting premise that totally blew it for me og hellsing - loved the soundtrack, but everything else, especially compared to ultimate, fell flat for me. the big bad guy at the end was kinda lame, and the plot itself was kinda meh |

| For me, pretty much any slow-paced, episodic shows that most critics seem to love, tend to be rather boring to me on a subjective level, albeit, I can somewhat appreciate most of them from a writing standpoint. The most striking example of this, is Mononoke; a show generally praised for its intriguing short stories and its enigmatic protagonist, I came into it expecting it to offer an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, what I got from it was just a series that did everything well on paper, but offered next to nothing on a sentimental level; I was not particularly invested in any of the characters, including the protagonist himself, nor did I especially love any of the stories it had to offer. Does that mean I hate the show? Absolutely not. I think it succeeded in what it set out to do, and I respect it for what it did well at. But, on a personal level, it wasn't a very entertaining watch, so I can't say that I hold it in such high regards, as most people do. Linearly objective shows just aren't my thing, apparently. And then there's Neon Genesis Evangelion -- a show that started off quite enjoyable, but eventually became so "d33p" that I couldn't see it anymore... :( |

Not to mention, I've also taken a dislike to the word objective as of late. Subjective is the more prominent term in my book. I still need to get to that additional ending of NGE and it's reboot movies, although I can't say I look forward to any of them. SamuelLJackson said: The usual suspects: Guilty Crown No Game No Life Sword Art Online Elfen Lied Death Note One Piece Naruto Inuyasha Aside from Death Note, none of those are on my good side either. I've seen bits and pieces of the last three, but have no incentive to follow up with a serious attempt and completing any of them. |
| I got two. Haruhi Suzumiya (series) - I don't hate the show, it does have some pretty awesome things. However, the point I don't like is the fact, that instead of concentreting on it's strong and unique sides, the show goes for a pulp of playing baseball, making a movie and such stuff. A pity. However the movie does everything right, what the series did not. OreImo - I dislike the show, wasted my time on it. Many people disliked the ending, but the ending fits the show very very well. There is like no story at all, the characters are silly and grotesque, exactly like the ending. I wouldn' say it's shit, but it's realy close by. |
| I hope Honey and Clover delivers for me. I don't want it to end up here. |
|
| @Abhi I haven't watched too many episodes of H&C, but from what I can see so far, it has a fairly mature setting, along with realistic character relationships on top of that. So, I'm pretty sure it will live up to my expectations, once I get further into it. Josei shows rarely ever disappoint me for some reason. [Then again, I don't exactly have a huge sample size to work with for that particular demographic.] |
|
| That's not my problem Dashi. I'm fine with it being a Josei. It's just that it's so hard to.get into for some reason. I don't feel any motivation to watch the next episode at all. I expect it to be a good show nonetheless and will go through with completing it. I dearly hope that it doesn't bore me. So far it has though. Maybe it's because I already know how it'll all end up. That doesn't usually affect me but this time it is. |
|
| im not gonna lie, I thought aside from Wolfwood, trigun was super boring. And I watched it before the animation/art were dated. And I don't hate NGE - but I didn'tfind it special. Possibly due to when I watched it, I may have been too old and had already watched like 200+ series. I wasn't phased by how "deep" it was, and I didn't like shinji or asuka. |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| So far: 1) Sword Art Online + SAO2 2) Angel Beats 3) Black Bullet 4) Clannad (First season was so boring and shallow haven't gotten around watching second season yet) 5) Highschool of the Dead |
| definitely SAO |
| Oh! SAO...... |
|
| In the past I would have said Madoka Magica or something, but I'm a changed man... I don't hate any anime, but there are too many to list of "popular or otherwise frequently well-liked animu that I don't consider special in any way". Since a 5 represents a rather average story, the vast majority of my list is scored 5 or lower, and I tend to prefer more uncommon stories, there are plenty of fan favorites with less than admirable scores, so you can take your pick of whatever strikes your fancy. |

| It happens all the time. |
|
| so many good anime people are missing out on, its a shame :/ |
| Evangelion. Aquarion EVOL. Date a Live. Lucky Star. Gundam Wing. AND NOW |
| Oh! My! |
|
| I can see why you listed those. |
|
| I don't get the few who listed Evangelion here, it's not "universally acclaimed" or anything. It was always controversial because you either love it or hate it. I say that as a fan of the show so my opinion probably doesn't mean much. As for the topic at hand, I can't say I hate anything that others like (or any anime for that matter). That seems like too strong of a word for me, to be honest. Though I honestly didn't like Madoka Magica: Rebellion as much as most people. |
 |
| I probably didn't like that either. You make an excellent point about Evangelion by the way. |
|
| cowboy bebop no game no life |
 |
| Those are surprising picks. |
|
ABHISHEKV said: Those are surprising picks. i think no game no life is a good anime but it doesn't deserve more than 8/10. i think cowboy bebop is boring. everyone has their own choices. |
| |
| Well I can understand that. I haven't rated both above a 7. |
|
| I gave NGNL a 7 out of 10. The approach is fine, I loved the art style, but besides that... nothing great |
| Fair Enough. |
