What is the anime that everyone loves but you dislike?

[mugi]

I'm gonna get quite a lot of flak for saying this but Sword Art Online. It's one of the animes I hate to my core lol.
Don't know why it's popular, all the characters barely have any growth, the story is just repeated constantly.

I used to not like Attack on Titan but it gets really good at the later seasons (if you can go past season 3).
I still hate Eren but I feel sad for the rest of the characters because they all have to revolve around this selfish emo brat.

Attack on Titan!
My friends were recommending me to watch it and I did try to watch but couldn't even finish one season.

Glad I am not alone by saying Naruto, Bleach, AoT and Death Note. I'm not a huge fan of that genre/style anyways, but so many people make them out to be the best anime ever and............... they're really not.

Sorry not sorry.

Thanks I'm not the only one but while my husband is a fan of One Piece and has been trying to get me into that, I'm sorry but no way. It just doesn't catch my eye, and sometimes I'm a bit picky with animation.

Naruto is my other no-no. Tbh I haven't give them both the chance to sit and watch but... It's not coming from my heart :c

Ahh this topic speaks to my soul lol. I think sometimes I have very opposite opinions about most popular anime that people like, and I think a lot of it stems from the fact that I very strongly dislike either the harem (or even reverse harem in some situations, not OHSHC though) or ecchi/fanservice genres and well in recent years those themes have been quite rampant. Anime just leaning further into its degeneracy got very annoying very quick for me, so I never got around to liking or even watching shows like DanMachi Konosuba okay a lot of isekai stuff got super old as well xD And anything that has "very average anime protagonist boy who has tons of different girls all vying for his attention" just makes me want to throttle someone. In the same vein shoujo got very tiresome for me too if the protagonist is one of the super quiet/shy girls who can't stand up for herself or express her emotions clearly, that shit pissed me off and I never was able to relate to it.

But some thing I know a lot of my friends really enjoyed and was very critically acclaimed - I watched Madoka the whole way through TWICE and I didn't like it either times. I can appreciate the story it is telling and the characters are compelling but I think it was just too much strain on my brain xD I am a very low level watcher and don't pick up on more complex story lines easily lol. So other shows like Steins Gate that are more atypical in its narrative are difficult for me to watch too, I couldn't get past the first episode..

Mob Psycho 100. But mainly because for some actually weird reason watching the animation makes my stomach sick. I don’t know how to describe it lol.

Also One Piece. And I think both Chobits and Elfen Lied are a littleeee bit weird ;_;

I really loved Elfen Lied as a kid but now that I'm older, I recognize it has some SERIOUS issues. No idea how it was as popular as it was back in the day but holy hell some of the themes in that anime would not fly today. It did not age well at all.

I remember it was super popular when I was younger and everybody kept recommending it so I watched it and I just kinda went with the flow of “yeah! I watched it!” because I wanted to feel included lol, and I really didn’t process much at the time. But now I look back too and I’m like, ok, yep, that happens

Yeah I highly recommended it to my friend but he watched like 5 minutes of it, said it was unnecessarily violent (which it was) and then moved onto Higurashi which was the second recommendation our friend group gave him. XD

I both love and hate Higurashi. It's so... intense.

Attack on Titan, I did get to read a lot of the manga but it just wasn't for me. I found it boring.
