"Overrated" is as subjective as "liking" something. So no shit it’s not objective😂

Even if overrated is subjective, a lot of things can make a show subjectively overrated to some/most people.
If the hype for Anime A was so high when it released that everyone would just love the show a lot more because of this hype. Then people watching Anime A years later, are not part of this initial hype and find it average, then I think we could say that Anime A was overrated.

Not only your appreciation of the show is subjective but also your reality, your experience while watching it is subjective and will affect your opinion. Let’s say Anime B was about someone grieving for his father death and it turns out your father also died recently, Anime B might affect you in a way other people watching it wouldn’t feel.

If Anime C released during World War 3 and it was an anime which main theme was war, people watching it at that time might rate it higher because they felt more related to it. Then people years after the war ended might feel the anime was overrated since their experience at this time watching Anime C is not the same as people who watched it when it released.

Your actual experience watching something depends a lot of outside factors and those outside factors might make you and everyone else love/hate an average anime a lot more when it release than the actual quality of it.

So even if "overrated"/"underrated" are subjective, they are still good indicators of the quality of an anime. The actual rating an anime got is still a better indicator but we should also pay attention to the general consensus of people thinking something is overrated.

It's ironic you are judging people who use the term with buzzwords like egotistical and pompous , as if they have no right to use the word unless they use it the way you deemed to be the correct way since it's the only right way according to your holier than thou thinking. That judgement alone makes you a hypocrite by your standards. There is no right measurement for the correct use of the word and just because majority of opininons agree on something does not make them right by default, and it's a person's right to point it out using whatever word they like, no matter if you like it or not.

seems I hit a little too close to home. sorry for hurting your feelings.

@Chaimello No he's right and you're hurting nobody. @matraph00 just brought up some examples of what could be perceived as overrated.

Seriously? That's the best reponse you could come up with? It seems I "overrated " your intelligence and your ability to make a reasonable argument.

It won't happen again.
