Other than the obvious huge rating discrepancies I have with some of MAL's ratings,

I'll go with Akame ga Kill ending is a great ending. I haven't read the manga, but too much people shit on AgK's original (going by word of mouth) ending. I see nothing wrong with it.

The intelligence of all Death Note characters is molded exclusively for plot convenience. While it does have its peaks, every time a stalemate is reached a "smart" character does something retarded. Therefore, as a strategy anime it fails. But, it is nonethess fairly entertaining.

I'm pretty sure the majority still agree that Re:Zero is great so it's not a consensus that it's "shit". Heck, there's going to be an event on Maple Story for it soon.

As for my unpopular opinion, I think SAO is bland and boring.

eh I don't know...

- Bakemonogatari is the worst entry in the franchise.
- 99% someone says it gets better.... it doe not.
- There phrase "rating/judging ecchi because of the story is stupid, this is not what it is about" is wrong, story is one of the elements and should be judged and ecchi is a western invention, the Japs do not differentiate between anime with a lot fanservice and not to begin with.
- Fanservice is not bad.
- oh yeah this^ reminded me, elitists are 99% of the time just an imagination of insecure anime fans.

Prob something more... I dunno

- FMA is better than FMAB
- I could never get into Hunter x Hunter(2011), found it so boring that I ended up sleeping while watching it quite some times.
- I don't consider Yuri on Ice to be the best from any angle. I could understand Yuri's side of things but I never understood Victor. Some of the songs were really annoying.

-Having symbolism is not synonymous with being well-written. Saying "you just don't like (insert 2deep anime here) because you don't UNDERSTAND it" is an intellectually lazy statement, and only serves to disprove the person who's saying it.

-90% of comedy anime, especially in recent years, is extremely unfunny. I don't know how people don't get tired of seeing the same 5 jokes being repeated over and over in every episode.

-Reference humor is very lazy.

~ I don't like Gurren Lagann. It is just ... silly in a bad way;

~ Spice and Wolf, as it is (without another season) is a waste of time;

~ Bungou Stray Dogs is the only anime I've dropped, so far, because the comedy is incredibly bad;

~ and about Sakamichi no Apollon (or Kids on the Slope): the melodrama is quite disturbing, the quality is really low and boring and expected and obvious [insert synonyms here].

That's all for now.

wow someone actually has my opinions :3

Also I think of deadman wonderland as really just average. Nothing special. Maybe I hate aboit it how incompetent the mc is at the beginning. I actually find bakugan great....yeah....dont ask why.....
Also I never ended watching deathonte for some reason even I dont know. Probably jost binged too much.
And wow did you expect for someone to hate one piece? Apparently I watched about 30 episodes or so and dropped it because...I felt like it has no real story whatsoever. The characters just go from island to island and maybe sometimes get stronger. It doesnt change at all and I dont wanna skip any episodes so I just dropped it the same with dragon ball but I actually didnt want to watch it because Im pretty much into the new drawing style of characters.

- I reckon FMA does a lot of things better than FMAB and vice versa. Nevertheless, they're both 10/10s in my book.
- RahXephon does enough on its own to avoid being called an Eva clone
- Shinji Ikari is a genuinely great character
- Hellsing 2001 has one of the best soundtracks in anime.
- Yu Yu Hakusho's English dub isn't as good as a lot of people say it is.

the good:

madoka magica rebellion is a masterpiece and the ending does not take away from it, it actually makes perfect sense considering how the characters have progressed.

kyousougiga and flip flappers are absolute overlooked masterpieces of modern fantasy and it's a shame that people ignore them because they don't have a linear storyline

concrete revolutio is actually a good story. the second season is a bit flawed with all that anti-american propaganda, but it wraps things up pretty neatly. a little more backstory for emi would have been welcome, though. overall, it's a unique take on a popular genre and it could open up possibilities for new ideas. shame people dropped or dismissed it for the non-linear storyline

alien nine is such a heartwarming, yet tragic story about growing up and facing your teen years. it's not "ugly" as some might call it.

ugly aesthetics are actually good and challenging for this community that never wants any change or evolution. different looking does not mean ugly and definitely not bad

tetsuwan birdy decode and decode 02 are the best thing to come out of a-1 pictures and is easily one of the best action/sci-fis to come out in the past 20 years at least.

beyond the boundary is actually a pretty good urban fantasy. it's flawed, but it's good. and it's second movie (the future arc) is an amazing love story/urban fantasy, much better than shinkai movies.

ghost in the shell innocence is not a bad movie, it's a interesting take by oshii.

loving/adoring modern shows does not make you a pleb, casual, lame, stupid, uncultured etc.

loving/adoring retro shows does not make you an elitist, snob, jerk, nerd etc.

you can love and adore both retro and modern anime just as much.

there are still cool people in this community and they are very interesting to talk to. you just gotta be patient and find them

lucky star is actually a good show. the first four episodes suffer from an uninspired egostical director that got subsequently canned from the series.

there's nothing wrong with moe, there's nothing wrong with gar, there's nothing wrong with a bit of pandering, there's nothing wrong with serious, mature stories. there needs to be variety in order for us to truly appreciate the things we love. wanting something to go extinct is redundant and childish.

having a short attention span or attention deficit does not make you a loser, stupid or a pleb. it's actually a pretty common issue we face nowadays given that this is the information era and everything moves at a rapid pacing. add to that that there are various other elements that can contribute to the inability to focus on something that moves slowly or doesn't hold one's interest and you have plenty of arguments why my first statement is valid. i myself deal with a pretty serious case of attention deficit caused my multiple elements. it's a pain to deal with.

having a waifu or being terribly engrossed in the medium is not inherently wrong. there needs to be a line drawn so we do not step into an unhealthy level of escapism, but at the end of the day, any sort of entertainment is still escapism. judging something as being just that is redundant. furthermore, i firmly believe that, considering most of life is misery and suffering, we owe it to ourselves to make it as enjoyable and pleasurable as possible. so go ahead and have your waifus. be happy, do whatever you want.

the bad:

clannad is pretty garbage, though the girls are cute. they are also really dumb. like really, unrealistically dumb. except nagisa, she just sucks overall.

clannad afterstory is absolute trash. lower than 1.

code geass is the lowest tier in the world. its an absolute joke of an anime.

the monogatari franchise is just pretentious dialogue and is overall boring. sure, it looks cool half the time and the girls are cute, but it's way too slow and uninteresting overall.

shows like mushishi, legend of the galactic heroes, monster etc. aren't really that amazing, their pacing is incredibly slow and it makes them dull up to the point of losing interest, mature themes and all - they make no difference if the pacing is poor and the show is unenjoyable. liking them does not make you high class, the same way watching and idolizing ecchi doesn't make you clever and cool either.

fma: brotherhood is no masterpiece. it's just an ok shounen. nothing amazing.

kimi no na wa is trash with cool aesthetics.

oshii is a good director, absolutely, but he's slightly overrated and pretentious too.

mamoru hosoda, makoto shinkai and hayao miyazaki are good, but not amazing, they're heavily overrated.

the second half of gurren lagann is awful. that timeskip ruined the pacing, characters and charm of it, which is a shame because the first half and the end (until the unnecessary middle finger to simon) is an amazing hero's journey.

i love trigger, but inferno cop and ninja slayer are unfunny and uninteresting.

arguing and reviewing bad anime is redundant, because 98% of it is directed strictly towards the japanese market. they don't careabout the west, because we bring a lot of losses to their industry and they also retain that isolated mentality japan has had for hundreds of years.

pretending to somehow be clever, relevant, interesting, intelligent etc. because you criticize an anime is ridiculous. i applaud critical thinking, but you've really made a bad choice in terms of medium the medium to judge. you will also never change anything. you can either pick what you love and stick with it or be bitter for a long time with no other consequence other than harming your own self. yes, some reviews/videos etc are entertaining and discussion is always welcome, as long as it isn't just trying to come off as being superior, but reviewing/crticizing beyond the point of self-importance is ridiculous.

nichijou is alright, but it's not an amazing comedy. it becomes irritating to watch too much at once.

steins;gate is not a masterpiece. it's an ok harem/sci-fi, but that's it. and the first 6-7 episodes are boring and too slow.

judging people based on their preferences is terribly silly and childish.

critical thinking is still a form of relativism.

School Days is an ok anime and does not deserve all the hate simply because people can't realize that not everything needs to have a happy ending.

Clannad is not so good.

Death Note second half is not bad either. Just because


KonoSuba is not nearly as good as people say. Sure, it has its moments, but come on, it really ain't that good.

Yuri on Ice is bad. Just because a bait actually turned out to be a real couple this time doesn't make the anime good.

I also feel that Yosuga no Sora gets too much hate. Sure, it's not the best anime out there, and yes, it is borderline hentai, but why is that a legit reason for hating it, I will never understand.

I love SnK with all my heart, but yeah, I think it is a bit overrated.

Gintama is not that funny either.

Shelter is bad. A music video having an 8,39 score makes no sense. Gorillaz have much better stories in their videos.

Plastic Memories is not sad at all. It was predictable since episode 1 and you simply know what's gonna happen the minute you start watching it.

Kurozoka is one of the best anime out there.

Kabaneri is not bad. It's not a masterpiece, but it's actually quite enjoyable.

And Kimi no Na wa does not deserve to be in the top 500, let alone number 1.

SAO is alright. Kirito is not too overpowered either(weaker than Heathcliff, only won because of Asuna. Weaker than the skeleton boss before Heathcliff, only won because Heathcliff was tanking. Weaker than Death Gun, only won because of Sinon. Weaker than Yuuki, lost and draw, so it's 1-0 in favor of Yuuki.). The OP moments like breaking Kuradeel's sword is because Kuradeel was pleb and would have been handled by anyone on the Assault Team, and was even whooped by Asuna. Other OP moments like rushing Silica and the Black Cats we're because they were low level characters. Rushing a low-level character is part of how an RPG works, and I'm glad they put it in the story. It was pretty nice with the older brother story for Silica for instance.

Fate s/n [ubw] is slightly better than Zero- sorry but the exposition on who's ideals were better in Zero were not a deep plot. It was so simply, "I'm a bad guy, you're a good guy. We'll never be the same". It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so dragged out.(like if it were a movie instead.) UBW had Archer's story which actually was a bit deep. Rin and Shiro's rivalry was enjoyable in my opinion.

Mirai Nikki was awesome.

No problem with your opinions,but since this is not an opinion but rather assumption or speculation I will straight up say that it's utterly false. You can't just say that about a director whose appeal is almost universal and covers from most casual fans to most professional critics.

- Death Note is boring and overrated.
- I hate Light and L equally.
- I don't understand why many of the top characters on MAL are there.
- Toradora has the most unlikeable female main lead ever.
- FLCL isn't good, nowhere in this universe and in non possible parallel-universe.
- One Punch Man isn't funny.
- I really like Bungou Stray Dogs, but its humor is a pain sometimes. It's like Noragami's humor on crack ... and Noragami's humor is already on crack. XD
- Gintama isn't funny either.
- All kind of fanservice and Ecchi is just cheap pandering.
- Overly cute girls with ridiculous big eyes are really disgusting to look at.
- I couldn't go through Madoka and dropped it after one or two episodes.
- I love slow pacing and bittersweet atmosphere. Many shows are too fast paced for me.
- Episodic anime are great.
- Tsunderes are one of the worst stereotype ever created.
- I like shy, cute girls, who don't fall in the "ridiculous moe"-type tho.
- You can like Boys and Girls Love as well as straight romances. The permanent discussion about it is annoying.
- Fujoshis, who are very into Boys Love, but bitch about straight romances, are a pain in the ass (pun not intended...)
- The art style is actually very important, because the whole medium is visual and based on art.
- Many shounen protagonists are likeable.
- Many protagonists, characters in general, aren't "too whiny". The audience doesn't have enough empathy and basic understanding of human psychology or they just want their badass, emotionless self fullfilment. ^^"
- Most of the badasses are unlikeable.
- There are plenty of mainstream anime, which deserve the hype.
- I LOVE Spirited Away, but Ghibli's best work is Princess Mononoke.
- I love Miyazaki as a director, but I think he has an arrogant point of view towards other anime sometimes.
