The new Kino no Tabi series that came out several years ago. The art style had already kind of put me off but I gave it a chance and watched while it was airing. Got through around 6 episodes before I just kind of lost interest and stopped. None of the countries were as interesting as those in the original. Also they butchered the remake of the coliseum episode so hard, completely leaving out the part she sees all the people of the lower class in the country living like shit. So when she makes the law at the end for people to start killing each other she just looks like an anarchist edgelord.
And for something that's not a sequel/remake, True Tears. I expected a decent love triangle, maybe with some melodrama since that usually comes with the genre. But this was just retarded, forced drama through cheap NTR bait. And all the characters acted like they were autistic. I remember the main character just yelling in the middle of the street at some points, and I laughed because it was so ridiculous. Almost all the other characters were emotionally retarded as well. Only succubus I kind of liked was the one who worked at the ramen shop, but it was obvious she wouldn't win from the start. I don't even know why I watched the whole thing.

I hated DBS more than anything. I don't know what I'd expect since Toriyama is going senile and DBZ wasn't that good to begin with after a couple arcs, but I absolutely couldn't stand it. Dragon Ball was always a shounenshit anime however during its earlier days it had a charm to it that made its shounen aspects seem almost nonexistent. As if it were true and genuine.

It was like when they try to imitate Americans in anime and they act like this overly-stereotypical view that Japanese have of westerners but instead of doing this for comedic effect as would normally be the case, the creators of BL actually thought this would come off as cool. Instead, it just came off as edgy and ridiculous of course.
I never understood where all the praise comes from for that show, there's lots of other anime that emulate a western style but actually make it work, like Cowboy Bebop or Gunsmith Cats.
That reminds me of another western-styled anime that everyone seems to love except for me: Trigun. I detested that show, because of its annoying characters and because its mood-swings from comedic to serious felt completely tone-deaf.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. Series started out pretty great, characters started out good, the different dimensions plot line was interesting. The series even had the balls to have a wizardly rival who is better than the main protagonist in pretty much every way.
Then the fucking director had to wank his 5Ds boner all over the series resulting in original characters getting shafted for BUY BLACKWINGS: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO, An arc that would fucking put NAMEK to shame in terms of relative length, and to make it fucking worse it was a god damn tournament arc,AFTER we already had on. Like what the shit?
Synchro completely ruined every character and completely flanderized them. For the first time in YGO history the female lead wasn't useless and actually contributed to the plot significantly, only to be turned into a damsel in distress and then finally a living macguffin, The best friend character does nothing but talk about the MC even in situations where the MC isn't relevant, the edgelord becomes nothing more but a meme machine at this point
The other two arcs got fucking rushed. Kite was just there, Aster didn't do shit, Alexis got fodderized by best character Yuri and was then turned into the MC's dad's walking stick. The mystery behind MC's dad's disappearance doesn't amount to shit besides backstory for the villain
The villain's plan is fucking retarded and makes no sense in retrospect, even worse when you realise that his plan would also risk fucking the world(s) again by making it possible for Card Game Satan to reform and he took absolutely no precautions to prevent this from happening despite experiencing first hand just how fucked the world(s) would be, even making one of the living catalysts for Satan one of his top agents.
Card Game Satan was a waste of time and could have easily been prevented had all the characters who were aware of him were not retarded. The duels against him are also shit because he does nothing but sit on his big invincible beatstick and his evil dank version of whatever summoning mechanic his opponents try and use against him. Rival gets some shit to actually happen only for the day to be saved by literal DEUS EX MACHINA.
Shit STILL doesn't end and we have a few more things to go through before it finally fucking ends. MC duels a bunch of characters who try and get the MC to have fun again so that he can make a fucking baby smile. AND THEN IT ENDS.

Made him a strange dude, but it was whatever I guess. As I got older and he found streaming services to watch anime all the time from mom's attic (he lives there to this day) I remember seeing things get more and more popular and just thinking "what?" And it continued up until today today, anime doesn't make you weird or anything now, and every other high schooler has seen JoJo and Naruto.

Two episodes given to obese degenerate dad his shtick got old real fast i think.
"Boo hoo look how hard is it to work on an anime" episode.
Some people in opening never play much role in the story. Why put them there?
Some episodes pretty good on their own like "etc" and suicide culture episode, but overall they tell nothing related to main story.

All of those and more were on national TV every day from 92 on and all kids would know and talk about these shows. It's funny reading wizkids writing about how anime was niche in the early 2000s lol. By then the crowd for anime was so big you had 3 or 4 yearly anime conventions with cosplays, fake merchandise, monthly magazines about anime and all that shit.
Not that it matters, but I know for a fact the wizkiddies have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to this. It's been mainstream for at least 25 years now.

If it was it might actually be better since some ecchi are very entertaining/fun to watch. Darling in the Franxx is like a bad show dressed up as a good show. Meaning the themes, storyline, worldbuilding, animation, etc makes the show APPEAR better than it really is. Basically if a smaller studio did it with a shit budget no one would care about it.

supposed to be this dark figure, but his actions aren't that evil, and in fact he is quite kind for what he does. Madoka also has other problems not only with its hype… plot holes, characters, and other writing issues. The art style looks really cool though!

>>32034There is indeed some modern anime with halfway decent animation and plot. Deca-dence comes to mind and Yesterday no Utatte might have been the only anime to come out last year other than Dororo that was soulless isekai. I miss cel animation and I understand why it's gone. I just wish more stuff being released now was more original or at the very least interesting.

>>31035Also Gundam but Zeta Gundam specifically. I had it hyped up as the single best mecha anime ever only to lose interest almost immediately. I enjoyed 0079 quite a bit. Maybe it was just fatigue that caused me to drop Zeta.
Haruhi season 2 was a huge disappointment. GaoGaiGar piqued my interest due to its meme status but turned out to be a formulaic monster-of-the-week cartoon devised for the sole purpose of selling toys to children. Fist of the North Star could never hold my interest past the 20-episode mark. I would still rather watch any of these than most anything made in the recent past.

The general tone and style of the shows' humour, storytelling, and content can be accurately gauged from watching just a few clips. Did you just dive head-first in to whatever hip series /a/ was talking about without trying to figure out ahead of time if it is something you'd enjoy?

I had been looking for a new anime and it kept showing up in top anime of 2020 lists after some googling. I hated the comedy attempts in it. I didn't care much for the character interactions or the character themselves. And nothing drew my curiosity or made want to see what happened next. I made it through 4 episodes.
I will say I liked how highly motivated and inspired the main character was to create and make something. Similar reason why I liked Bakuman I think.

This
It was hyped to the moon and back. And I just don't see what's so good about it, when I ask there's always mouth breathers saying "lmao loli nazi", and they're not even nazis.
I don't think it's bad, it's just that there are so little stakes. The main character is an expert tatician because… he's from the future? I mean maybe he was a history buff or something,maybe they mention this at some point and I didn't see it because I was strugling not to fall asleep, but knowing some history doesn't make Alexander the fucking great. And I don't complain that he always wins ,because most anime does that, it's just that every battle is so one sided, it's just no fun. One may think "well but he's in the body of a succubus, so he's easily overpowered, or nobody takes him seriously" but of course this isn't the case because he's just so fucking perfect and smug.
This is going to sound dumb, but it reminds me of Tom and Jerry, and I hated Tom and Jerry even as a kid because I hated that smug fucking mouse do much just thinking about it makes me angry.
Haven't watched the movie, maybe it's more balanced, but I doubt it.

>>35717I can't wait for the second season.
Hate all you want but I loved the shit out of the show. Rooting for the sociopathic bad guy as he gets into more and more absurd situations is very entertaining. The MC is prideful but always ends up paying for it by having to deal with even more crazy shit due to it. It's a escalation narrative driven by a highly motivated and active character who will use any means necessary to progress while still ways rigidity following any rules and conditions they are put under. Making them probably the best example of a lawful evil MC done well.

>>35723I'm glad you like it wiz, I really wanted to like it myself because the animation and aesthetic is nice, and this setting is pretty rare in all sorts of media, not just anime.
