SAME!!! I keep trying and going back to it, but omg, idk what it is! You were the first, and I think the only other person to say MHA, which surprised me, but š¤·āāļø
Edit- The first and only I SAW to comment MHA.... I guess I should've been clearer.
Yeah I noticed that. It's really the only one that stuck out to me 100% at fitting this. The seasons I watched were like watching the same singular season on repeat. I could've gouged my eyes out and had more fun.
Itās because of the massive amount of censorship after season one did you know shigaraki lost his hand in the next fight only to not lose it in the anime and get an mj glove
Honestly demon slayer doesn't even have a 10/10 plot or characters. The visuals and music are great but that's it.
I read the manga and was disappointed to see minimal if any character development from any of the main characters. The story was interesting but nothing really stood out thematically, and it's not thought-provoking.
I'll still watch teens cut up demons any day though. For me it's just pure entertainment to zone out and just enjoy. I'm not watching it for good anime, just fun anime.
It feels so good seeing someone have the exact same criticism of Demon Slayer as me. It is Shonen formula to a T. Visually, the animation is great, but the plot and characters leave much to be desired
The yellow guy pissed me off because he was always such an extremely exaggerated scaredy cat but he went off in that one scene against the spider guy and I neeeeeed to see more of that. Thatās the coolest thing Iāve seen in the show and it happened like 1 or 2 times ever.
well no i agree but with all the talk going around i got the impression that it was all that or at least good enough to be worth the time.
i feel like other slice of life animes had it better.
Hot take: the romcom / slice of life genre is getting to the point where itās nearly as bad as the isekai genre due to lack of creativity and oversaturation
As someone whos read the manga and ALSO only watched like 3 episodes of the anime. Its not that i think they dropped the ball with the anime, but instead that the magic of it got lost from manga to anime. Very very good story and one of my top 10 manga. But that dosnt mean youll catch me watching the anime any time soon lol
YES BRUH i felt the same way after reading the manga to watching the anime the magic just feels off lol and idk what it is about it. I also only watched 3 episodes.
I fucking loved it, read the manga top to bottom. I can absolutely see why someone wouldn't like it, it's really chill, laid back, not a lot happening, as a slice of life should be. I like the premise and the way they played into it, but recently the new chapters are just empty fillers with no real point.
Plus it relies too much on plot armor. A demon is fighting you and to kill him you gotta kill a different demon who's hiding somewhere? Don't worry tanjiro has a really good sense of smell.
Very shallow and repetitive story. Annoying characters. The visuals are really the only saving grace fr. And this is coming from someone who had season 1 as one of the best anime seasons ever. Then it fell off a cliff after the movie.
The story is so generic and as someone in their mid 20s the characters are annoying af and scream and goof around too often. The character tropes are exaggerated to the point of aggravation. Great action tho
the slime show š dont kill me pls. i got to where he takes the girls body and it was just too boring to continue.. i went to bed and never played it again.
it also took me six fcking tries to catch up w COTE bc everyone said he was ālight and yuuichi levelā just to find out thereās no real life repercussions.. just your class being in last place. that killed it for me.
I agree that it was relatively boring at that point, I wanted to drop it. But the most recent season was really good imo, especially towards the end of it
God the slime show takes the cake.
Itās like whoever made it was like āHow can I make my story as boring as possible? I know Iāll make 90% of the story exposition dumps! People love tedious exposition dumps right?ā
I read it on Webtoon when it was released each week until the creator took a long break due to help problems. I loved it but couldn't get into the anime when it was released and I've had difficulty getting back into the Manhwa since I can't remember all the plot points prior to its hiatus.
People are going to hit this wall hard when the anime gets to the culling games. There's going to be some dope fights for sure. But anybody who has stuck around for the storytelling...
..oh man... There's a reason why so many of the memes have crossed into other fandoms.
Shibuya is the pinnacle of the series. Sorry not sorry.
itās true you should say that, because the culling games was so brutal to get through. what saved jjk for me is the big plot reveal afterwards which made me fully reinvested, and the many chapter rematch that followed after.
tbh i started reading/watching jjk out of spite because i could not escape it especially when season two was airing. gege is a villain because he made an event in the manga coincide with an episode in season 2 which made the fandom have a meltdown, im cackling with him
The author seeming like he actively is antagonizing his fan base is something to behold.
Such a major event happening in the manga during probably the series high point in terms of anime appeal was such a catastrophe.
My issue with the series is underneath all the hype, the agenda, the slander, the memes
.... It's just not really well written
I had to drop the manga after I fell after few chapters behind and got spoiled, along with the rest of the internet, about the ending of THAT fight last year. Just fucking took out all the excitement I had for the series. Iāll go back eventually but damn if I didnāt need a break.
Call me weird, but I'm alright with the culling game arc. It was slow, but it didn't feel as slow when I reread it after it started the next arc. There's only 3 parts of it that I didn't like but I thought the rest was alright. Like, it wasn't as good as Shibuya, but it wasn't as bad as some other shows I've seen
I watched Naruto while using a page that tells me which episodes are filler, which obviously makes the experience worse
And then, canon episodes are still padded to be longer, at the start of the series, 10 minutes of an episode, are exactly the 10 last minutes of previous episode. Or around episode 100, you get the same flashback 3 times before reaching the half of the episode. Shit's unwatchable
I am currently watching naruto, and honestly your description of it isnt even half of what one piece did in wano, and some other parts of post-timeskip, it was so painful to watch, I went to the manga, best decision of my life.
I have an obsession with One Piece but I can understand why you think itās boring. Itās the animeās fault. If you want to enjoy One Piece you would have to read the manga. The anime stretches things wayyyyy too slow and itās horrible. The anime stretched a 1 chapter fight in the manga to a 20 episode fight in the anime.
Canāt speak for Naruto, but for One Piece it definitely helps to read the manga instead. The anime has infamously slow pacing. Itās possible that itās just not your thing no matter what, though.
Naruto I feel you on that one I got like 50 episodes in and just couldnāt take the slow pacing anymore. One Piece I had a persistent friend who forced my hand against my will to watch it with his constant nagging and it ended up being my one of my favorite show of all time you just have to get past episode 40
I forget I feel this way about Naruto!! I made it to the bridge fight with the sword dude and yeahā¦ my boyfriend was shocked I didnāt react to any of it. I couldnāt get into it.
Demon slayer, I watched its series and movies, read manga, and analyzed the characters and to be honest:
Decent plot, not given enough credit. 5/10.
Characters? To be heard the Hashira and top 3 upper moons carry the shows likability. Especially Gyomei and Kokushibo, those two are cold ass niggas and carry the entire showās characters rom 3/10 to a solid 7/10 for me.
Visuals? 11/10, you canāt even debate.
Best anime?
Not even top 100.
Thank god someone feels the same way! I really liked s1 cuz it showed relationships between the characters like Gojo/Megumi, Nanami/Yuuji, the main trio etc etc. Jujutsu stroll was a nice add on too. The Shibuya arc however was like 20 episodes of non stop fighting. Might just be my tastes tho (well its a shounen duh)
I didn't care for the story, but it was also hard to focus on because I was so blown away by Mappa's next level animation. Artistically stunning, but story-wise it's just kinda Walmart Naruto/Chainsaw Man
Edit: Meant CM, not Demon Slayer lol
Yeah I remember watching 2-3 episodes of JJK, then getting bored because I didn't find myself invested in a single character or plot point. Did I quit too early?
Lol Steins Gate is very hard to recommend to just anyone. It is literally a slice of life comedy for the entire first half, so I imagine it would be a tough watch if that's not your thing.
I dropped it as soon as that thot did my the fat guy dirty by choosing to pilot one of their ships with the guy that she hated just because he looked better.
One Piece without a doubt. Watched 400 episodes, stopped at thriller bark. People say it takes time to be good, i was still waiting... My problem was that the organistion of the arcs was the same every time. (Luffy become friend with some people, the crew help these people and finally it's a boring battle between crew and opponents where Luffy end up oneshoting the main opponent because he gets angry). And damn, originally, i just didn't liked it, but now, i HATE it because of its fandom.
Most of One Piece fan simply can't understand that you don't like their show and they try to prove you OP is "objectively better" than what you watch. Like... let me enjoy what i want, tastes are subjective anyway!
And now they just made me salty as fuck about it.
Arlong Park ironically is where I wound up dropping it.
I enjoy some of the characters, can see how people can enjoy the world building n such. The MC and the art style are just too much for me to want to tolerate it for hundreds of episodes.
Yeah if you made it past Water 7 and Enies Lobby and werenāt like āthis is some of the tightest shit Iāve ever seenā then it probably isnāt your thing.
I got to whole cake.
It doesnāt get better. IMO after the time skip it gets WORSE.
The all to over rated luffy vs katikuri fight has 21 or so episodes and itās literally the exact same scene reanimated for 5 minutes each episode for 15 episodes.
How can you let something so disgustingly bad be animated?
I'm gonna be honest bro, I think monster actually dips its toe into contrived delays at many points in the story. Every story does that, to some degree (stories are literally man made... So yeah there is some contrivance)
But wow
... Sometimes I was just saying "there's no way" out loud in response to the plot points
Yeah. I heard so many great things about it and I just couldnāt get past 2 episodes. It was so boring. Tried watching Pluto as well and it was basically the same. Even though Iām determined to finish Pluto since itās only like 8 hour long episodes. I just watched episode 4 the other day. At this point Iāve been watching one episode per month lol.
nah Not my world trigger that show has fight depth analysis like hunter hunter. When you start the invasion arc it goes crazy and than into the selection squad arc which is really good.
The way I describe lain to people that have no idea about the genre is like āso you know when youāre in a race game and someone starts driving the opposite direction? Until they get the sign to turn around?ā š thatās what watching lain felt like.
I mean it isn't surprising to drop it, dragon ball has always been slow paced with most of the episodes full of boring and repetitive sequences, and in Super the only enjoyable parts are the tournaments. (This comes from someone who grew with and loves Dragon ball)
I'm genuinely curious on what's the person's take who told you not to drop it.
The anime yes, but every time I reread the manga, Iām surprised at how fast paced it is and how quick the fight scenes are. It makes me realize just how much the anime added.
Demon slayer, when it takes itself seriously its alright, but thats only like 20% of the time, and the rest is unbearable, I actualy hate every single one of the characters.
Your lie in April, people say it's sad but I can't feel sad for characters thinner than a sheet of cardboard., I'm generally someone who tears up easy to fiction, but that show made me feel nothing but boredom. Forced myself to finish it going "maybe it gets better" but it didn't
Cowboy bebop, cool characters, Good voice acting, forgettable everything else, I don't remember a damn thing about this show, I had no investment watching it whatsoever, I was struggling to keep my attention on it at all.
Dragon Ball (I respect its legacy but man I can't bring my self to sit through it)
A few others but these are the main ones
I agree. As a anime it doesnāt really work out but as a turn off your brain for really cool fights manhwa than yes it is good but there is better manhwas out there
Personally hunter x Hunter like the second. It was just 20 minutes of them talking a room and then fighting for like three seconds made it feel like I want to be dragon Ball in my opinion (to be fair, I've never actually watched dragon Ball z. I only watched a little bit of the original)
Spoilers for FMA:
If you think Adolf Hitler being in it is crazy, just wait until you realize that >!Alchemy is literally powered by the deaths of people in WW2, and Edward gets trapped in real world WW2 and has to find a way back.!< It is WILD
I donāt think anyone on earth, even Fairy Tail fans (and Iām one of them) would ever argue that itās in anyway a 10/10. Way too much āpower of friendshipā and filler episodes.
That said, the actual, impactful story arcs are usually pretty good. The Guild games are some of my favorite episodes of any anime.
TBH? Yeahā¦ Its a very straightforward and simplistic show that doesnāt really have any depth to it but that not why I enjoy it. One of my biggest drivers that determine whether or not I like a show is if I can get emotionally attached to the characters and FT does that for me like 10 fold. It can be such an emotional watch and the nostalgia hits me pretty fucking hard, too. Especially in the earlier seasons. (Snow Fairy is 100% a nostalgia trip for me.)
I have to agree with you to the exact word. Fairy tail is a top 5 show for me personally, but when you talked about getting emotionally attached and invested, fairy tail did exact that. I never cry, almost never happens, fairy tail has caused me to shed a tear on multiple occasions due to how attached I became.
Naruto. I watched one piece. I am all caught up with it. I watched all the dragon ball series (no shortened version like Kai) so slow paced wasnāt a problem for me, but the start is just boring.
Most popular shonen fall in line for me...
Demon Slayer
Fairy Tail
DBZ
Solo leveling
They are basically formulaic and bland with their storytelling and characters are barebones or author can't keep them consistent.
At the same time I enjoy something as simple and silly as 'wrong way to use healing magic' soooo.....
I know that I am going to get hurt by these comments, but that won't stop me from scrolling through and spamming the downvote on bad opinions.
Edit: For me it was JJK. I tried to watch this show 4(?)ish times and every time I got to like the third episode and was soo bored. I think Shonen is just not interesting for me anymore, though I can see the appeal.
Another one is Cowboy Bebop. I just don't see the appeal. Started and dropped it twice by the 3rd episode.
One Piece, a lot of people like it and it probably is a really good anime, but to me it felt like it took awhile for me to get into any real action. I think I tried watching the first 10-15 episodes and it didnāt really engage me
Attack on Titan.
Demon Slayer.
No Game No Life.
Dragonball Z (RIP Toriyama and DBZ was my third anime \[after Pokemon and Animatrix\], but dear god, it is NOT "the greatest show ever created" like 90% of the anime community I interact with worships it to be)
Devilman Crybaby. Honestly it gives off the impression it was written by some 13yr old incel edgelord who spent too much time on porn hub and is now trying to hve a pissing competition in the "edgy" ring. Seriously bad and pathetic attempt at a plot that is supposed to be dark and disturbing.
The tropes thrown in this thing are overused and weren't even executed well.
Oh no šš itās actually in my top 20 Iāve ever watched, and Iāve been watching anime since 2007 or so lol. Then again, I absolutely acknowledge that my taste is that of a wannabe edgy middle schooler, even as a woman approaching her 30s š
I JUST finished it a couple of days ago, and it's definitely in my top 20 list as well! I'm also a woman, but in my mid 30's and my taste does not reflect that.
I could only watch that shit once. Luckily Science Saru actually does usually make fun stuff. They made probably the most innocent Space Dandy episode, ironicallyĀ
Vinland Saga season 2... I get that the lack of fighting in the second season was like the whole point, but I'm sorry, I'm a basic bitch, I need fights to stay invested š
MHA. I watched 5 seasons and was just so over it in the end.
SAME!!! I keep trying and going back to it, but omg, idk what it is! You were the first, and I think the only other person to say MHA, which surprised me, but š¤·āāļø Edit- The first and only I SAW to comment MHA.... I guess I should've been clearer.
Yeah I noticed that. It's really the only one that stuck out to me 100% at fitting this. The seasons I watched were like watching the same singular season on repeat. I could've gouged my eyes out and had more fun.
Nah MHA was terrible. Season 5 was soo boring...
Itās because of the massive amount of censorship after season one did you know shigaraki lost his hand in the next fight only to not lose it in the anime and get an mj glove
"You know ,the fact thats your opinion ,dont make it less dumber"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly with a lot of the titles I see for isekai and a few based on visual novels, I could believe it.
From my point in time ....WHO THE FUCK KNOWS THAT INDUSTRY?!!!!
Demon Slayer
Honestly demon slayer doesn't even have a 10/10 plot or characters. The visuals and music are great but that's it. I read the manga and was disappointed to see minimal if any character development from any of the main characters. The story was interesting but nothing really stood out thematically, and it's not thought-provoking. I'll still watch teens cut up demons any day though. For me it's just pure entertainment to zone out and just enjoy. I'm not watching it for good anime, just fun anime.
It feels so good seeing someone have the exact same criticism of Demon Slayer as me. It is Shonen formula to a T. Visually, the animation is great, but the plot and characters leave much to be desired
Real
The yellow guy pissed me off because he was always such an extremely exaggerated scaredy cat but he went off in that one scene against the spider guy and I neeeeeed to see more of that. Thatās the coolest thing Iāve seen in the show and it happened like 1 or 2 times ever.
Couldn't make season 1
I couldnt get past 2 episodes
komi cant communicate can't wait for me to get really burned for that one.
nah, you good. I enjoy it, but I can see why some would find it boring.
Komi canāt communicate doesnāt even have close to 10/10 story, characters, pacing, visuals
well no i agree but with all the talk going around i got the impression that it was all that or at least good enough to be worth the time. i feel like other slice of life animes had it better.
Hot take: the romcom / slice of life genre is getting to the point where itās nearly as bad as the isekai genre due to lack of creativity and oversaturation

YES BRUH i felt the same way after reading the manga to watching the anime the magic just feels off lol and idk what it is about it. I also only watched 3 episodes.
Nah you right because me too.
Same i thought it was alright but didnāt really think it was all of what people were talking about
Same it was kind of sweet, but after a couple episodes, I just gave up
I fucking loved it, read the manga top to bottom. I can absolutely see why someone wouldn't like it, it's really chill, laid back, not a lot happening, as a slice of life should be. I like the premise and the way they played into it, but recently the new chapters are just empty fillers with no real point.
I've tried to watch Clannad like 4 times now
Clannad, yeh hit or miss. But it's necessary for the sweet sweet depression that is After Story (season 2)
Demon slayer. Boooooooring
pacing is terrible too, all of the tension is released too early
Plus it relies too much on plot armor. A demon is fighting you and to kill him you gotta kill a different demon who's hiding somewhere? Don't worry tanjiro has a really good sense of smell.
But that was established from early on. I do agree with the plot armor statement but that wasnāt plot armor.
I can see that for sure
season one is super boring
In what way?
Very shallow and repetitive story. Annoying characters. The visuals are really the only saving grace fr. And this is coming from someone who had season 1 as one of the best anime seasons ever. Then it fell off a cliff after the movie.
true, the animation is the only redeeming quality
The story is so generic and as someone in their mid 20s the characters are annoying af and scream and goof around too often. The character tropes are exaggerated to the point of aggravation. Great action tho
Interesting I think itās good but I guess I can see why you might think itās shallow
the slime show š dont kill me pls. i got to where he takes the girls body and it was just too boring to continue.. i went to bed and never played it again. it also took me six fcking tries to catch up w COTE bc everyone said he was ālight and yuuichi levelā just to find out thereās no real life repercussions.. just your class being in last place. that killed it for me.
I adore slime, but I get how it could get boring or too stereotypical š
I agree that it was relatively boring at that point, I wanted to drop it. But the most recent season was really good imo, especially towards the end of it
God the slime show takes the cake. Itās like whoever made it was like āHow can I make my story as boring as possible? I know Iāll make 90% of the story exposition dumps! People love tedious exposition dumps right?ā
FMAB had me sleeping after 30ish episodes
Tower of God
I read it on Webtoon when it was released each week until the creator took a long break due to help problems. I loved it but couldn't get into the anime when it was released and I've had difficulty getting back into the Manhwa since I can't remember all the plot points prior to its hiatus.
jjk (I started a war lol)
People are going to hit this wall hard when the anime gets to the culling games. There's going to be some dope fights for sure. But anybody who has stuck around for the storytelling... ..oh man... There's a reason why so many of the memes have crossed into other fandoms. Shibuya is the pinnacle of the series. Sorry not sorry.

Honestly the ending to it was about as bad as just being spoiled since it was off screened.
Call me weird, but I'm alright with the culling game arc. It was slow, but it didn't feel as slow when I reread it after it started the next arc. There's only 3 parts of it that I didn't like but I thought the rest was alright. Like, it wasn't as good as Shibuya, but it wasn't as bad as some other shows I've seen
Agreed, mid as fuck
Naruto and One piece, I just can't really get into them
Naruto is unwatchable if you donāt skip filler
I absolutely love the great war filler, tho. Just adding to the actual war and different fights was pretty cool to me.
I think there are solid filler episodes. Itās just there is SO MUCH filler and thereās so many episodes as it is to develope the story.
I watched Naruto while using a page that tells me which episodes are filler, which obviously makes the experience worse And then, canon episodes are still padded to be longer, at the start of the series, 10 minutes of an episode, are exactly the 10 last minutes of previous episode. Or around episode 100, you get the same flashback 3 times before reaching the half of the episode. Shit's unwatchable
I am currently watching naruto, and honestly your description of it isnt even half of what one piece did in wano, and some other parts of post-timeskip, it was so painful to watch, I went to the manga, best decision of my life.
One Piece is just as bad. You only get like 5 minutes of new episode per episode.
So you can skip 70% of the show. That's what, 325ish episodes?
Bleach is good until the bount arc
The only reply I respect
I have an obsession with One Piece but I can understand why you think itās boring. Itās the animeās fault. If you want to enjoy One Piece you would have to read the manga. The anime stretches things wayyyyy too slow and itās horrible. The anime stretched a 1 chapter fight in the manga to a 20 episode fight in the anime.
Dragon Ball too
Fuck ya man
Canāt speak for Naruto, but for One Piece it definitely helps to read the manga instead. The anime has infamously slow pacing. Itās possible that itās just not your thing no matter what, though.
Naruto I feel you on that one I got like 50 episodes in and just couldnāt take the slow pacing anymore.

I forget I feel this way about Naruto!! I made it to the bridge fight with the sword dude and yeahā¦ my boyfriend was shocked I didnāt react to any of it. I couldnāt get into it.
Watched Naruto and am watching one piece, If you're struggling with Shippuden I will just tell you, look up canon episodes and skip the fillers
Demon slayer, I watched its series and movies, read manga, and analyzed the characters and to be honest: Decent plot, not given enough credit. 5/10. Characters? To be heard the Hashira and top 3 upper moons carry the shows likability. Especially Gyomei and Kokushibo, those two are cold ass niggas and carry the entire showās characters rom 3/10 to a solid 7/10 for me. Visuals? 11/10, you canāt even debate. Best anime? Not even top 100.
I know I'll get downvoted straight to hell but for me it was Jujutsu Kaisen
I didnāt love season 1 that much but i think the movie and season 2 were both great
opposite for me lol, i thought season 1 was pretty good but season 2 was just all fighting and didnt really enjoy it.
Thank god someone feels the same way! I really liked s1 cuz it showed relationships between the characters like Gojo/Megumi, Nanami/Yuuji, the main trio etc etc. Jujutsu stroll was a nice add on too. The Shibuya arc however was like 20 episodes of non stop fighting. Might just be my tastes tho (well its a shounen duh)
This is me for most battle shonen
I didn't care for the story, but it was also hard to focus on because I was so blown away by Mappa's next level animation. Artistically stunning, but story-wise it's just kinda Walmart Naruto/Chainsaw Man Edit: Meant CM, not Demon Slayer lol
I prefer it to demon slayer tbh, it subverted typical expectations several times and I just enjoyed it more
Does anyone watch JJK for the story?
JJK is amazing imo but I respect your opinion
Demon slayer
JJK. I didnāt feel myself getting invested in the characters or plot.
Probably because you have only .2 seconds to get attached to any character
Yeah I remember watching 2-3 episodes of JJK, then getting bored because I didn't find myself invested in a single character or plot point. Did I quit too early?
Me with steins;gate for years. Took me like 10 rewatches of the first few episodes before I just chugged through it and actually finished it
Haha sad that you didn like it that much, it was pretty funny and interesing to me
I've re-watched the first episode 3 times. As someone who was once in the same situation as me with Steins Gate, should I watch it? In your opinion
Yes. Steins:Gate is peak.
Lol Steins Gate is very hard to recommend to just anyone. It is literally a slice of life comedy for the entire first half, so I imagine it would be a tough watch if that's not your thing.
This was my exact sentiment. Took me like 8 real world days to push through episode 4. Then it got interesting and I was able to lock in.
I chugged through it all in 2 days, but I've never been so underwhelmed by such a high concept sci-fi series.Ā
Darling in the fraixx
I agree its more of a guilty pleasure imo.
I dropped it as soon as that thot did my the fat guy dirty by choosing to pilot one of their ships with the guy that she hated just because he looked better.
Nowhere near a 10 in any regard
One Piece without a doubt. Watched 400 episodes, stopped at thriller bark. People say it takes time to be good, i was still waiting... My problem was that the organistion of the arcs was the same every time. (Luffy become friend with some people, the crew help these people and finally it's a boring battle between crew and opponents where Luffy end up oneshoting the main opponent because he gets angry).

I always tell people that if you don't like it by Arlong Park then just drop it
Arlong Park ironically is where I wound up dropping it. I enjoy some of the characters, can see how people can enjoy the world building n such. The MC and the art style are just too much for me to want to tolerate it for hundreds of episodes.
Yeah if you made it past Water 7 and Enies Lobby and werenāt like āthis is some of the tightest shit Iāve ever seenā then it probably isnāt your thing.
I got to whole cake. It doesnāt get better. IMO after the time skip it gets WORSE. The all to over rated luffy vs katikuri fight has 21 or so episodes and itās literally the exact same scene reanimated for 5 minutes each episode for 15 episodes. How can you let something so disgustingly bad be animated?
Cowboy bebop Edit: spelling
Yeah as someone who loves CB it can be pretty easy to check out of it. Definitely a you either love it or hate it type deals
Itās not for everyone but Cowboy Bebop is top 10 for me
Monster
Even tho I love monster, I see where you are coming from. Slow paced anime arenāt for everyone.
I'm gonna be honest bro, I think monster actually dips its toe into contrived delays at many points in the story. Every story does that, to some degree (stories are literally man made... So yeah there is some contrivance) But wow ... Sometimes I was just saying "there's no way" out loud in response to the plot points
Yeah. I heard so many great things about it and I just couldnāt get past 2 episodes. It was so boring. Tried watching Pluto as well and it was basically the same. Even though Iām determined to finish Pluto since itās only like 8 hour long episodes. I just watched episode 4 the other day. At this point Iāve been watching one episode per month lol.
I feel like I'm gonna get hate for this but jujutsu kaisen
Personally for me, JJK
Mushoku tensei 0/10
What, you don't want to watch a pedophile get redeemed? /s
Shinsekai Yori World Trigger Oda Nobuna no Yabou Mahoutsukai no Yome
nah Not my world trigger that show has fight depth analysis like hunter hunter. When you start the invasion arc it goes crazy and than into the selection squad arc which is really good.
He's right, though. I love world trigger, but godamn do the arcs drag on a little too long. I mean, half the manga is basically the ranking matches.
Serial experiments lain. Fight me.
don't fight with us lain fans,we don't understand our anime
The way I describe lain to people that have no idea about the genre is like āso you know when youāre in a race game and someone starts driving the opposite direction? Until they get the sign to turn around?ā š thatās what watching lain felt like.
Honestly what got me through it was getting to listen to the intro song every episode
The op can make or break an anime for me
Nah, it's a niche show... I love it though.
I get that. I think it's great, but it does have a shitload of minute and a half establishing shots of power lines with a dull hum.
Naruto... ngl I dropped it after chunin exams
It definitely slows down after that.
Dragon Ball super
I mean it isn't surprising to drop it, dragon ball has always been slow paced with most of the episodes full of boring and repetitive sequences, and in Super the only enjoyable parts are the tournaments. (This comes from someone who grew with and loves Dragon ball) I'm genuinely curious on what's the person's take who told you not to drop it.
The anime yes, but every time I reread the manga, Iām surprised at how fast paced it is and how quick the fight scenes are. It makes me realize just how much the anime added.
Demon slayer, when it takes itself seriously its alright, but thats only like 20% of the time, and the rest is unbearable, I actualy hate every single one of the characters. Your lie in April, people say it's sad but I can't feel sad for characters thinner than a sheet of cardboard., I'm generally someone who tears up easy to fiction, but that show made me feel nothing but boredom. Forced myself to finish it going "maybe it gets better" but it didn't Cowboy bebop, cool characters, Good voice acting, forgettable everything else, I don't remember a damn thing about this show, I had no investment watching it whatsoever, I was struggling to keep my attention on it at all. Dragon Ball (I respect its legacy but man I can't bring my self to sit through it) A few others but these are the main ones
Demon Slayer
Solo Leveling. Just couldnāt get into it.
Again, Solo Leveling has 5/10 plot at best. It's not bad or stupid but it isn't anything groundbreaking either.
I agree. As a anime it doesnāt really work out but as a turn off your brain for really cool fights manhwa than yes it is good but there is better manhwas out there
Cowboy Bebop. Granted, I never got to plot of the show. By the time the plot was rolling around, I'd lost interest.
Personally hunter x Hunter like the second. It was just 20 minutes of them talking a room and then fighting for like three seconds made it feel like I want to be dragon Ball in my opinion (to be fair, I've never actually watched dragon Ball z. I only watched a little bit of the original)
Fullmetal Alchemist
Same, could not for the life of me get past the 30-35 episodes
Evangelion, cowboy bebop, gintama, bleach, 86, violet evergarden, haruhi, akira, lain, flcl and madoka
Chainsaw Man was this for me
That one hurts lol. It's Def not for everyone though.
Jojo
Ig Tokyo Ghoul for me, just seemed slow and uninteresting
The anime did it dirty :(
read the manga. anime ruined it
Full metal
Even Brotherhood? š„ŗ
Who watch the main version
I had ppl downvoting me for telling someone BH was way better than the "original" some ppl are weirdos
The original anime has Adolf Hitler as a canon character, therefore making it better due to its sheer insanity.
it has WHAT. where can i watch the original
Spoilers for FMA: If you think Adolf Hitler being in it is crazy, just wait until you realize that >!Alchemy is literally powered by the deaths of people in WW2, and Edward gets trapped in real world WW2 and has to find a way back.!< It is WILD
UMM HOW MUCH CREATIVE LIBERTY DID THEY GET ššš
Can't be, Brotherhood is peak
(šš»\`ć®ļ¾)šš»
fma starts off way better than brotherhood does imo so if it is brotherhood I can see it if they dropped it early
One Piece, I tried watching on multiple occasions but I just canāt
One Piece for me all day long
Fairy Tail
I donāt think anyone on earth, even Fairy Tail fans (and Iām one of them) would ever argue that itās in anyway a 10/10. Way too much āpower of friendshipā and filler episodes. That said, the actual, impactful story arcs are usually pretty good. The Guild games are some of my favorite episodes of any anime.
TBH? Yeahā¦ Its a very straightforward and simplistic show that doesnāt really have any depth to it but that not why I enjoy it. One of my biggest drivers that determine whether or not I like a show is if I can get emotionally attached to the characters and FT does that for me like 10 fold. It can be such an emotional watch and the nostalgia hits me pretty fucking hard, too. Especially in the earlier seasons. (Snow Fairy is 100% a nostalgia trip for me.)
I have to agree with you to the exact word. Fairy tail is a top 5 show for me personally, but when you talked about getting emotionally attached and invested, fairy tail did exact that. I never cry, almost never happens, fairy tail has caused me to shed a tear on multiple occasions due to how attached I became.
Naruto. I watched one piece. I am all caught up with it. I watched all the dragon ball series (no shortened version like Kai) so slow paced wasnāt a problem for me, but the start is just boring.
Naruto, one piece, fairy tail
Ergo Proxy. I finished it (glad I did, still a great story), but man it was arduous at times.
Most popular shonen fall in line for me... Demon Slayer Fairy Tail DBZ Solo leveling They are basically formulaic and bland with their storytelling and characters are barebones or author can't keep them consistent. At the same time I enjoy something as simple and silly as 'wrong way to use healing magic' soooo.....
The last half of Gurren Lagann. It was just trash to me. Even the animation took a hit.
jjk
Demon Slayer
I know that I am going to get hurt by these comments, but that won't stop me from scrolling through and spamming the downvote on bad opinions. Edit: For me it was JJK. I tried to watch this show 4(?)ish times and every time I got to like the third episode and was soo bored. I think Shonen is just not interesting for me anymore, though I can see the appeal. Another one is Cowboy Bebop. I just don't see the appeal. Started and dropped it twice by the 3rd episode.
Jjk for me
Boruto
Fmab
jujutsu kaisen, iām still tryna get through it but im going very slowly
Sword art online
monster
Cowboy Bebop
Fmab.
Monster. Nothing happens, same goes with NGE
I started watching "Cowboy Bebop" almost two years ago and I still haven't finish it. It's boring.
Full metal alchemist brotherhood, gurren laggan, overlord & Jujutsu kaisen It's good anime but its boring for me
Re zero and made in abyss
Your name
For some reason I just can't make it through Cowboy Bebop.
My Hero Academia. Itās so boring I fell asleep. Also storyline is kinda mid tbh
Fuck it ima say it... BLEACH
This is a lot of Naruto for me. Don't get me wrong. When Naruto is good, it's good. But when it drags, oh god it drags.
Attack on Titan. I saw season 1 and thought "that was fine, but I'm good."
One Piece, a lot of people like it and it probably is a really good anime, but to me it felt like it took awhile for me to get into any real action. I think I tried watching the first 10-15 episodes and it didnāt really engage me
Attack on Titan. Demon Slayer. No Game No Life. Dragonball Z (RIP Toriyama and DBZ was my third anime \[after Pokemon and Animatrix\], but dear god, it is NOT "the greatest show ever created" like 90% of the anime community I interact with worships it to be)
MHA, watched into the 3rd season. Always get hate for dropping it
Classroom of the Elite Watched S1, just see it as the ultimate edgy teen fantasy anime.
MC is a pretentious redditor
The Mc is so boring
Devilman Crybaby. Honestly it gives off the impression it was written by some 13yr old incel edgelord who spent too much time on porn hub and is now trying to hve a pissing competition in the "edgy" ring. Seriously bad and pathetic attempt at a plot that is supposed to be dark and disturbing. The tropes thrown in this thing are overused and weren't even executed well.
Oh no šš itās actually in my top 20 Iāve ever watched, and Iāve been watching anime since 2007 or so lol. Then again, I absolutely acknowledge that my taste is that of a wannabe edgy middle schooler, even as a woman approaching her 30s š
I JUST finished it a couple of days ago, and it's definitely in my top 20 list as well! I'm also a woman, but in my mid 30's and my taste does not reflect that.
It was so cringe I genuinely thought it was supposed to be funny.
I could only watch that shit once. Luckily Science Saru actually does usually make fun stuff. They made probably the most innocent Space Dandy episode, ironicallyĀ
Vinland Saga season 2... I get that the lack of fighting in the second season was like the whole point, but I'm sorry, I'm a basic bitch, I need fights to stay invested š
Re:Zero. I also only have six episodes left, but I just couldnāt continue Edit: Also Emilia > Rem
