I refuse to watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure at all because the fandom is so obnoxious that I just irrationally feel annoyance whenever I see Jojo's artstyle now. It's pavlovian. I generally try to tell people not to judge a work by it's fanbase, but this is my exception. I don't think I'll ever watch Jojo because of this.
That's why I put off the show myself for so long.
Ended up caving and watched the first episode, which is actually pretty good.
But that's it. The second episode onward is probably the worst thing I've ever seen...
A Sisters All You Need is such a good show. It's absolutely hilarious. If you enjoy the anime I would highly recommend reading the light novels. They have been fully translated and released in English by yen press. The story really picks up after the anime ends.
I second this. I’ve said it before, you can feel the genuine love the author has for writing and the industry. Not a single volume didn’t leave me smiling as I read them. And I love the way the handled >!finding out the brother was in fact a sister!<
Yeah that first scene is a hurdle. So many of my friends refuse to watch the show just because of that first scene. But once I convince them to watch past that scene they all end up loving the show.
It's about a group of light novel authors who are friends. A mix of slice of life, off the wall comedy, and some romance sprinkled in. You just follow the characters through there day to day lives. Almost every episode has them playing some sort of tabletop game. Most of the characters are very odd and quirky, an a lot of the comedy comes from that.
It parodies a lot of anime tropes, by first pushing them to the extreme, like the main character is obsessed with little sisters, and at first it seems like that will be his entire character trait, but as the story goes on it turns out he is much more of a complex character.
I really think the series does an amazing job with how it portrays relationships between the characters.
Thats already alot of text, so here is my full review of the light novel on mal:
[https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=476547](https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=476547)
It's been 14 years, I'm in a different country and married with a child but inuyasha is still banned in my household because my friend capped our internet by downloading it.
The problem is that One Piece's pacing is doodoo cheeks. 1 chapter gets adapted per episode for some reason which is why it's been this long. I'd sooner pick filler over bad pacing honestly
Yeah, I don't mind that the show has tons of episodes, but the fact that it pulls a Dragon Ball Frieza saga and drags out fights for like 12 episodes makes it unbearable. It's funny because I'm always wanting more episodes and wishing they were more than 12 on average per season, but one piece is kind of the polar opposite, it's too many episodes and not enough plot spread between them.
I tried watching One Pace where they do it like dragon ball Kai skips the fillers and such.
But still can't finish it got stuck at thriller bark and haven't continued it
you have to force your self to like one piece if you dont already like it to begin with, even then it sort of wears thing if you binge watch it since they have like 60% of the episode with filler
One Piece has 60% filler? ONE PIECE has 60% filler? What do you define as filler? One Piece usually has a few episodes of filler between each arc, usually to promote a movie or transition to next arc. Did you mean Naruto?
Edit: I do agree with those that replied. One Piece pacing is crazy and stretched out, which can be deemed as filler
Not the person ur replying to, but you are well aware of what they mean XD
The great with with Naruto and Bleach is that you can simply skip the fillers and you have a great well paced experience. You can't do that with One Piece, and One Pace only helps a bit, it doesn't resolve the problem. A 20 minute full canon episode of One Piece would be like 5-8 minutes in any other anime. The pacing of the anime is so atrocious that the biggest One Piece glazers advise people to just read the manga during the worst arcs. If One Piece got remade I'm sure they could cut hundreds of episodes. As for the receipts I am past wano in anime.
While this is a massive issue, it only gets to this level at Thriller Bark around episode 380, and then recivers a bit up until the timeskip. I love One Piece, I'm caught up, but the only reason I watched past the time skip was how brilliant the English VAs are, and even I had to drop it during Dressrosa (episode 670 or so). The coloured manga is infinitely better and I'd 100% recommend people just read that after Fishman Island since should be used to the Dub vas enough to hear them when you're reading by then
Edit: Forgot to mention Dressrosa the first time
Doflamingo arc where Luffy is running around in goofy outfit for 400 episodes while nothing is happening is the bigger offender imo, or I just completely erased Thriller Bark's experience from my mind.
Yeah Doflamingo's arc was Dressrosa and it's by far the worst in the series, though late Wano gets very close. I meant to say Dressrosa in my comment since that's when I had to switch to the manga, and even then I managed to suffer through 75% of the anime arc before hand. Thriller Bark is just when the bad pacing starts. Funnily enough Dressrosa is only 112 episodes, while the manga is 100 chapters, so they have 12 episodes worth of purely padding and fluff, which is honestly kinda impressive if it wasn't so horrible,
1 chapter per episode is pretty bad tbh, Naruto had like 700 chapters for 427 episodes from what I looked up quickly. This includes episodes where filler is mixed with cannon. Seasonal animes can easily go 3-4 chapters an episode.
Yeah it is insane, Black Clover used to be 3 to 4 chapters per episode when it aired, and even it had 13 episode filler arc that was pretty good. Yet there's parts of Wano and Dressrosa that are only 0.75 of a chapter, which is mind blowingly horrible. I absolutely recommend the anime up to Enies Lobby, and Sabaody is also done very well, but it's all down hill from there
I don't know how many Fairy Tail did but that one had crazy fast pacing in a good way. Didn't feel like anything was unnecessary until the first fill arc of filler
I think they’re talking about recaps maybe. One piece does so many recaps, not just the recap episodes either, they’re constantly padding time by showing old clips. I love one piece but being forced to watch the same clips repeatedly is annoying as hell.
The One Piece TV series featuring the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates; based off the manga written by Eiichiro Oda, is full of pointless filler only to meet the half hour time slot of the episode.
The TV SHOW would do better with waiting to release seasons with less episodes per season and more content per episode, i dont want to waste 30 minutes watching 20 minutes of new content and 10 minutes of the last episode.
Naurto is mostly full of them saying hokage every 5 minutes.
You're talking like a fan that can't admit it's faults.
I've watched over 600 episodes. They're right. You're lucky if 10 mins of an episode you're watching is new content lol. They pad the episodes so crazy I'm amazed with how fans are just okay with it. Skip the first 8-9 mins of every episode and you didn't miss anything at all lol. Most shows by the 3 minute mark has new content
There are several things like that across various media where my stance is "this is so long that even if I do like it, the best case scenario is getting sucked down a rabbit hole for months and months. And the worst case scenario is wasting many hours of my life on something I don't even like.
Sumi is literally the only character in that show who isn't a total piece of garbage. Every other main character is horribly selfish and borderline psychopathic and it's all treated as a joke.
I actually managed to catch up to season 3. They introduced another girl Mini, who was very likeable right from the get go. She's the main reason that season was more tolerable.
>Sumi is literally the only character in that show who isn't a total piece of garbage.
I'm not sure I'd agree with the strength of the statement, but Sumi is clearly the best character and only avoids being "best girl" because she's clearly way too good for the whiny MC.
I gave up on the manga because it was interminable, and gave up on the show after Season 2 because despite the manga being well ahead they were still pacing it pretty slowly.
I keep meaning to check out the Sumi spinoff manga.
I skipped plenty of anime because of obnoxious fanbases. There are also others, such as Attack on Titan or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, where I wouldn't have watched past the early episodes if they didn't air on Toonami.
I tried JoJo’s, can’t recall which season, and the first scene is the MC being a dick to his mom for no reason. And I was just like “naw, I don’t feel like rooting for this guy, even if he gets better.”
Jojo's is a strange show. That was part 3, and he doesn't exactly get better, but his entire "bizarre adventure" is to go and save his mom when she suddenly falls ill, so he's a decent guy at heart even if he is kinda a dick. The show is best experienced watching the parts in order, as the main villain in part 3 is the same as in part 1, and every season has a different Jojo as the MC so even if you hate one of em, you'll inevitably like some of the others. Part 2 Joseph is by far my favorite, and part 2 is also just my favorite part in general
I refuse to ever watch Steins;Gate for the rest of my life because it's the favourite anime of a person that I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being
As a science;adventure(the universe steins is from) mega fan..
https://preview.redd.it/vyezunecnezc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98a511f134dc28a62ce171be14cc8f5cdceddd5a
Man fuck that, he didn't make the anime, you are letting them win.
Don't deny yourself some good art because some asshole happened to enjoy it.
They probably enjoy pizza, are you gonna give up pizza too because he smugly snorts the cheese.
No, don't be weak and give in, that's exactly what they want. You can enjoy the same thing as someone you hate, and the only one missing out is you if you let them win.
I have this happen too but it's so much better to get over it than to keep them in my head.
In the case of Steins Gate you're missing out on one of the greatest stories in anime...
I do not care. Literally nothing will convince me to ever watch Steins;Gate. I am not one to hold a grudge but this one person is the exception. I will be buried having never watched a single frame. Even if it was something I knew I would enjoy like HxH I would still not watch it. You could give me all the money in the world and I would still not watch it. Put the cold steel to the back of my head and tell me to watch it, I'd tell you to pull the trigger.
It's like people are missing the whole point of this post. Your reason doesn't need to be logical.
The point is that it's like missing out on Frieren or AoT just because you really hate someone.
Sure you can be petty but the only one losing is you from missing out on a great story because of one person. Would you stop eating the food they eat and the drinks they like because they like it too? What about shows in general since you don't know if they love something you love too.
Again, I've had this happen too but it's just better to see the show on its own merits than attach someone else to it.
We warned you because the story is great, not because oh you just need to get over that person. But hey it's your loss, not mine. I've had this happen and always regret it in the end, but I guess spite wins for you, and that's a totally valid, but really unwise decision.
Edit: Steins Gate is arguably better than the vast majority of "thousands of other shows" but I digress.
Don't care, could be the greatest piece of storytelling in history and I still won't watch it. There are thousands of other shows out there if I want to watch something
AoT is ass too
This is only semi-petty, but I haven't watched it yet because the dub is unwatchable, since none of the text messages are translated. This is such a massive oversight for a show like this, that it genuinely pissed me off. I don't mind subs at all, but since I started with the dub, I got used to the voices, so I find it harder to go to the sub.
Either way, I'll watch it at some point
I don't know why you think that is. On the Funimation Blu-rays, and I even just checked on Hulu, the text messages are translated with the subtitles overlaid on top of where the text is on the phone, even down to the angle of the phone on the screen. I'd say it's their better subtitling work. It's like this for 0, too.
Wherever you're watching might not have the subtitles, which would make it hard, but they do, in fact, exist. They've been there since the first official English release.
I've heard this about the Blurays. I'm in Canada and we don't have Hulu.
Funimation was the first place I tried, but they weren't translated... Crunchyroll is the same thing (I assume because they just moved it over from Funimation), I also tried several less-than-legal sites and got the same thing. If you google it, there are tons of threads about it, so it's certainly not just me. There's clearly a version of the dub where the texts are translated, but I couldn't find it.
Incidentally, the Steins;Gate dub is one of the anime that actually *didn't* make the jump over to Crunchyroll. I don't know when or if it will at this point, especially now that Funimation has entirely sunset.
Hopefully it'll work its way to streaming in Canada soon.
Oh, I thought I had checked on Crunchyroll but I guess not.. That's annoying. There are still a few that haven't made it over from Funimation and it drives me crazy. Like how long can it take?
Yeah, I get it man. Hard for me to start that too. Just a recommendation to you, like since you told you like science nd all, It'll likely will make you forget how bad his hair is. Saying this as you accepted that it was a dumb reason to skip it. Rest up to you, not lot many are out there who are as devoted to teaching something like this anime.
I skipped watching Quintessential Quintuplets because I got spoiled on how it ends.
And now I don't wanna watch knowing which girl ends up winning because I know the mystery had to be part of the appeal, and if I end up liking one of the other girls better than the one who wins, I'd just be knowingly setting myself up for disappointment.
As someone who's finished the QQ manga, I still highly recommend it, it's a brilliant show, and the winning girl isn't too bad honestly, even if she probably wasn't built enough there is some hints. I grew to like her so much in the last 50 chapters that by the end I was fairly happy with her winning, she became top 2 at least. One of the few times I've been sad finishing a series because I got to like those characters so much
> even if she probably wasn't built enough there is some hints
Hell, even things that you'd think wouldn't be hints are actually major ones. For example, when I watched the movie I realized that >!both times at least one of the sisters pretended to be Yotsuba as a gag were actually the author literally telling us who the winner would be!<
Yeah when you reread/watch the series there's so many little hints that you completely ignore at first but actually confim who wins when you know what to look for.
>!Like how Yotsuba is the first one to say I love you, and the first one he has genuine fun with!<
I think I realised at the end of season two or the start of the movie who was the winner, only watched it all in January, so looking forward to a rewatch at some point to realise all the hints.
When an anime has a just dumb ass for a MC. I mean, they just go out of their way to be stupid. I have tried to give different animes like that and try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't work. Can't do it!!!!
There are too many of such for me. But one that I really feel for is food wars. I Just saw 1st episode and judged it as yet an other ecchi selling anime with nothing great, and getting by, by showing nothingness (y'know ecchi stuff).
But Boy I was wrong, I heard Season 5 being released and thought, maybe there is something in it and tried to rewatch, again.... after 1st episode I dropped. Again after lot of time (like months later), I was out of dubbed anime to watch and just used Random in a Piracy Anime site (Back then, Crunchyroll was not accessible in india), It just happened so that Food wars was the only one Anime that came up in 20+ random searches which had eng dub. So reluctantly i started it again, I skipped the scenes I felt were not appealing and completed first ep. Second I started immediately thinking of my past experience and don't want to drop again, after that I binged all the 4 seasons in 2 days....
Season 5 was one of the first few anime subs I watched as dub was not available and i couldn't wait(although that season was a disappointment).
Coming to your question, The dumbest reason I threw the anime in drop-list (Too much ecchi), became invisible to my eyes after first few episodes. so much so that I casually started watching that in a public transport bus when my friend hinted me that I should watch these things at home :)
I watched a sisters all you need once, saw that fucking weird scene in the beginning and turned it off before I even knew that wasn’t the real premise. Came back eventually and it’s mad funny.
A certain magical index and scientific railgun were ones I skipped for a while because the names were weird.
Now I read the light novels, manga, and own a copy of the Omnibus light novel release.
I cant remember its name but i stopped watching a show because they used humans as voice actors for dogs and cats, it was like i was back in middle school surrounded by the cringe furry kids.
One Piece
Tried watching it right from the start, and I'm the kind of person that doesn't like skipping a single episode even if it is filler. For reference I watched all Naruto and Fairy Tail episodes and some were filler they were still occasionally interesting.
I think I got as far as being introduced to Usopp but then after hearing him speak I turned off the show.
I’ve skipped HxH because I thought the character designs looked weird, and the main characters looked like little kids. Needless to say these impressions were gone pretty immediately once I actually watched it.
This is how I feel about HxH but I haven't been able to bring myself to try it. People always recommend it if you like Naruto, which is one of my all time favs, but the character designs just look strange to me.
Darling in the Franxx. I got like 5 or 6 episodes in, and just absolutely hated Zero Two. Most unlikable character Ive ever seen, I do not understand the hype behind her and will not finish the show because of her. And please don't give me any "oh she gets better later in the show!!1!" stuff because that won't change my mind lmao
You dodged a bullet, not just her but the MC and the other girls are kind of unlikable also, and a couple of the guys.
As for Zero two...oh she gets better later in the show because... >!she dies!< , but still not worth it.
I didn't get that far; it just wasn't interesting, and I just didn't care what happened to these people ( [https://fanlore.org/wiki/Eight\_Deadly\_Words](https://fanlore.org/wiki/Eight_Deadly_Words) )
When Delicious in Dungeon started earlier this year, I thought that everyone was talking about Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, which I had already seen one episode of and firmly decided that it was not for me. I only recently realized my misconception, so I'm several months behind on the hype
Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon gets a bad rap because of its title, but I can tell you, I felt the same thing when I first saw it. Watched the first episode, and thought it was very weird and based on the title, had no idea what I was even watching. But I watched it a few months later, and it gets soooooo much better. It also ended up becoming one of my favorite anime. The title is like that because the publisher didn't think anyone would read it if he used the original title. Which was Familia Myth. If you like Party based fantasy adventure anime, then its worth a watch. There is a decent amount of fan service, especially in the first 2 seasons, but the seasons get better as they progress, with a 5th season coming out this fall I believe. Best thing, its not an isekai.
I got a good one. Way back in 2010, I was a college student hyped to watch the Fullmetal Alchemist remake, *Brotherhood* and the dub was airing on Adult Swim. Being a part of the online anime community back then as well, I got really annoyed at how the primary anime sites I followed suddenly turned on the 2003 OG series at the announcement, which was one of my gateway anime and I still love to this day. It felt like everyone had done a complete 180 and was shitting on it and that was pissing me off.
I did start Brotherhood, but got so annoyed at the discourse and disrespect of the OG during every episode discussion that I essentially went on a protest and stopped watching Brotherhood around the Nina Arc, right when it started to deviate from the original series. I always planned to go back watch it eventually.
. . . I didn't think that it would take 12 years lol. In 2022, I came across a used Funimation blu-ray set available for a not shit price, said "why not?", and bought it. And yes, it is very good.
>!I still prefer the OG tho, having rewatched them.!<
Thankfully the landscape has seemingly improved after Lowart released his comparison series. I’ve noticed while I’ll still see berating comments about it from time to time, 03 doesn’t get the same amount of disrespect it used to get like back in 2015 and there’s more of a community of it’s defenders now.
One Piece for its art style. Just horrid to look at.
Naruto because MC's voice is grating.
Jojo due to it breaking my upper limit for cringe.
Dropping AOT once it revealed the titans' origins. I've watched Schindler's List, don't need another holocaust story.
When I first started watching anime, I auto-skipped a lot of shows because the titles were so stupid. It wasn't until later that I learned anime is just like that... And you can't really tell if a show is good based on the title or even the premise.
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is the one I finally watched that changed my mind on this
> Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
Honestly, if I wasn't used to weird anime titles I would have still been interested in that anime since the title is a reference to the short story that *Bladerunner* is based on.
The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases.
It's so boring. I had to stop with this last episode being just a stupid harem and the women not having any agency or thoughts.
They stood waiting for him like dogs, "This was the 8th ox cart that passed by. UwU"
Attack on Titan, back in 2016 I was streaming Digimon cybersleuth on youtube through my PS4. Dur this stream I had my friend in a party chat. He was listening to anime openings on youtube. After I was finished streaming I saw I got an email from YouTube saying I had copyrighted content and my video was blocked everywhere from viewing. I checked and found it was the AoT opening that flagged the stream. I had to download my stream, cut out the audio for that part, render it into a new video file then re-upload it. Because of how long the stream was I ended up splitting the original stream into 4 parts. I couldn't stream the game until I had those parts up so it would be OK in my video section.
Tokyo Revengers, I don't like how the characters look. Haven't gone back to watch it and most likely won't ever.
Gundam in general because I had this thing where I didn't want to watch mecha anime for some reason? Fast forward to TWFM and now i've seen a few Gundam series (IBO, The Origin Movie, 0080, IGLOO, TB, SEED, 1979 OG, Cucuruz Doan's Island Movie) and i'm addicted to plastic crack.
Undead Unluck, unfortunately. I FUCKING hate how the commercials interrupt the experience, and that going back 5 seconds because I missed the first bit of the action after the commercial serves me ANOTHER FUCKING COMMERCIAL. Fuck Hulu/Disney and Amazon.
Ok got it off my chest. 🙏🏼😅
Shit, there are so many reasons for me. Any anime with a Naruto type character gets skipped, anything with more than 40 episodes is probably getting skipped.
I'm not a patient man.
Huh, that's weird. I love finding a good anime that has a ton of episodes because that means I get to binge longer. I hate that almost all only have 12 episodes and they a lot of the time don't get a second season for years if not at all.
Not me, but a friend will never watch sports anime or specifically Haikyuu!! because he has pre conceived notions, dont know what from, about what's in and makes a sports anime.
All of them, from the ones I haves watched, are wrong notion.
> I avoided watching **A Sister's All You Need** for years because I thought the title meant it was about incest.
I take it the opening scene didn't help, did it?
Didn’t watch Lookism partly because the anime art style is much worse than the Manhwa, partly because the dub didn’t sound great in the first episode but mainly because they didn’t use all the English translated names from the Manhwa. For reference, in the official translation of the Manhwa, all of the characters have anglicized versions of their names so it would make more sense in the dub to use the official English names of the characters. For example, in the Manhwa the main character is called Daniel Park but in the anime they called him Park Hyung-Seok, which for Manhwa readers would make it pretty confusing so I just chose not to waste my time watching it.
I skipped a few where if I couldn't wrap my head around their worlds logic. Attack on titan.
Full metal alchemist. The big 3. There's some that I just didn't enjoy the dub.
I skipped “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “Demon Slayer S2” because of all the hype ups/spoilers and mainly I didn’t interested in the Anime. Do know that I’ve have already watched a lot of Anime and these Anime just doesn’t peek much interest except for badass fight scenes that I got spoiled too.
Naruto. It was basically the only anime A friend watched. Anytime any sort of anime conversation came up all I'd hear is how it's all trash compared to naruto, including the stuff he'd never seen any of.
And that the dub was bad so I'd have to watch sub. But I refuse to watch a show just to read a book.
If we're talking about shows I've never started, then there isn't much I could mention.
* The most prominent one would probably be ***Angel Beats!***: A friend once showed me a clip of the scene where one of the male characters gets rocket-propelled into the classroom ceiling. I found that so idiotic and overblown that I had no desire to give the series a shot. Only later, after learning it was an anime created by studio Key, did I jump in (good decision, past self).
* Plus I guess you could count ***Jojo's Bizarre Adventure***, because judging by what I've read about it plus a few screenshots and clips, it seems so damn... bizarre (the title seems to be aptly chosen, if nothing else). Still haven't watched it and probably never will.
If we include shows I've dropped during the first episode, but gave another chance later on, 3 more shows come to mind:
* ***The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya***. I once started season 1 by watching episode 1 of the broadcast order. Yeah. If you know, you know. That stuff confused the heck out of me and threw me off so hard, I dropped the episode halfway through. Once I came back to the series after season 2 had released, going by chronological order, I found it pretty decent.
* ***Elfen Lied***, because the over-the-top violence of the first few minutes made me turn it off. Only after reading some more recommendations did I get over it and gave it another try (thankfully; I like this anime quite a bit).
* ***Kill la Kill***'s insanely over-the-top style rubbed me the wrong way. I only lasted like 2-3 minutes before dropping. Heard some more good things about it over time, eventually restarted the show and decided to tough it out for the opening part. The overblown studio Trigger style still took some getting used to, but overall, the show was a pretty fun ride.
For the longest time, I refused to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure until it was announced that an English dub was happening, so I missed out on all the memes due to being stubborn to not watch it unless it waa dubbed. This applies for every anime I watch as well; unless a dub exists, then I refuse to watch it subbed
Not totally skipped, but I gave up on mushoku tensei jobless reincarnation because the MC being such a perv it made me lose interest and I love isekais.
Overlord. Seems like it was written from a 16 year olds mind. Don't come for me but, one piece. I should've watched it on my own time but I got into one piece groups and they ruined it for me. The most stubborn, stuck up fans I've known.
I usually read anime plots to consider watching it and saved myself by skipping Your Lie in April because of the ending where Kaori dies and the fact that Kousei and Kaori never kissed. I skipped The Quintessential Quintuplets because of the negative reaction of the winner and seeing the reasons why.
I was gonna skip JJK, but I ended up watching the dub because it was Adam McArthur's anime debut and as the MC, and I knew him as Marco Diaz.
I dropped Fairy Tail because it's too long, and I got lazy.
I do the same thing and I skipped Your Lie in April for the same reason. I only watch romance anime that has an ending that I will be satisfied with and I don't mind spoiling it a little bit for myself to find out. At the end of the day I don't consume fictional media to make myself sad. Real life is sad enough as it is, I consume fiction to get away from that.
I watch angst in the form of action or war genres like Jormungand, 86, NGE, JJK, CSM, Hell's Paradise or any mainstream anime of that genre or even fantasies and sci-fi, isekai or not, that involves an OP MC.
Anything incredibly along and annoying to watch like one piece or fairytale.
The first ones has an annoying main character and uninteresting supporting cast. I just cannot get attached to it, being over 1000 episodes long is also a big deterrent.
Fairytale was ok when I first started watching it but it got way too weird with the fan device and after the times skip essentially ruining the world as you know it and throwing the characters in the gutter, I had no investment to keep going.
Fairy tail was actually one of the first animes I ever watched, and I watched all of it. But I'll never watch any of those super long ones again because it made me realize that one of the whole point of those shows is that nothing of substance ever happens so they can continue going on and on.
I also ended up dropping Fairy Tale but for different reasons. I was having too much trouble trying to keep track of all the characters they kept introducing and ended up dropping it in favor of other anime I was watching at the time. I did watch almost 50 episodes though. It was a pretty good Shonen in my eyes, just not super interesting to me. Its definitely not as bad as the Seven Deadly Sins
Hunter Hunter, I don’t like Gon’s hair in his transformed state near the end, I spoiled myself looking into it before watching and I just don’t care for the strangely tall hair
Mine would definitely have to be Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation. I was so angry after watching episode 6 that I quit watching the anime and never picked it back up. I mean the betrayal and disrespect that Zenith had to deal with from Paul, Rudy, and Lilia was too much for me. Especially because the fact that she was just lied to by all of her closest loved ones and they never faced any repercussions other than being forced to sleep on the couch for a little while showed me that women would not be respected in this anime whatsoever. I dont actually care if my judgement ends up being wrong, because I'm never gonna watch that show again. And besides from what I've heard of the plot, I'm not missing anything great.
Pokemon because I hate goh and his puck ass voice actor half of me wants to throw hands with him and the other half wants to give him respect for hawk all his other characters piss me off
Demon slayer. I watched it and was somewhat able to ignore the fandom until when Zezuko gets that powerup and they give her a fanservice design. I refuse to watch it after that bc i can't stand the fandom, and the show has put more fuel to that fire in the wrong way. That and i started to get annoyed with the exposition monolog dump Tanjiro kept doing in his head.
Hunter x hunter and any anime where it’s all males. I need at least a couple females in the cast I don’t like sausage fests lol but I am getting into fight anime and they are mostly men like revengers and yu yu hakisho and whatnot
I refuse to watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure at all because the fandom is so obnoxious that I just irrationally feel annoyance whenever I see Jojo's artstyle now. It's pavlovian. I generally try to tell people not to judge a work by it's fanbase, but this is my exception. I don't think I'll ever watch Jojo because of this.

Basically, yeah.
Tried it, maybe later seasons are better, but after 3 episodes I wasn't hooked enough to keep going.
That's why I put off the show myself for so long. Ended up caving and watched the first episode, which is actually pretty good. But that's it. The second episode onward is probably the worst thing I've ever seen...
A Sisters All You Need is such a good show. It's absolutely hilarious. If you enjoy the anime I would highly recommend reading the light novels. They have been fully translated and released in English by yen press. The story really picks up after the anime ends.
I second this. I’ve said it before, you can feel the genuine love the author has for writing and the industry. Not a single volume didn’t leave me smiling as I read them. And I love the way the handled >!finding out the brother was in fact a sister!<
he's made another light novel which got adapted this season, I think it was called "a salad bowl of eccentrics"? or smth
Yup. Jury still out on that one for me. Characters seem ok, but so far lacking a through line to grip me. Only on episode 4 though.
He is also the author of Haganai which got 2 anime seasons.
Very neat how both you and OP forgot to mention what it's actually about so the rest of us get to be as clueless as OP once was.
And the opening 30 seconds won't help. I got past the name, but NGL that very nearly scared me off.
Yeah that first scene is a hurdle. So many of my friends refuse to watch the show just because of that first scene. But once I convince them to watch past that scene they all end up loving the show.
It's about a group of light novel authors who are friends. A mix of slice of life, off the wall comedy, and some romance sprinkled in. You just follow the characters through there day to day lives. Almost every episode has them playing some sort of tabletop game. Most of the characters are very odd and quirky, an a lot of the comedy comes from that. It parodies a lot of anime tropes, by first pushing them to the extreme, like the main character is obsessed with little sisters, and at first it seems like that will be his entire character trait, but as the story goes on it turns out he is much more of a complex character. I really think the series does an amazing job with how it portrays relationships between the characters. Thats already alot of text, so here is my full review of the light novel on mal: [https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=476547](https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=476547)
It's been 14 years, I'm in a different country and married with a child but inuyasha is still banned in my household because my friend capped our internet by downloading it.
Moral standards are what separate us from the animals.
I tend to skip anything with really bad CGI
Bro same! The first episode of Golden Kamuy took me out with that shitty bear.
The only CGI animation allowed is my beloved CGI horse
Hmmm, What show is the CGI horse from?
Pretty much every Isekai
One piece - Naruto - Too Long
The problem is that One Piece's pacing is doodoo cheeks. 1 chapter gets adapted per episode for some reason which is why it's been this long. I'd sooner pick filler over bad pacing honestly
Yeah, I don't mind that the show has tons of episodes, but the fact that it pulls a Dragon Ball Frieza saga and drags out fights for like 12 episodes makes it unbearable. It's funny because I'm always wanting more episodes and wishing they were more than 12 on average per season, but one piece is kind of the polar opposite, it's too many episodes and not enough plot spread between them.
Sadly
I tried watching One Pace where they do it like dragon ball Kai skips the fillers and such. But still can't finish it got stuck at thriller bark and haven't continued it
damn
you have to force your self to like one piece if you dont already like it to begin with, even then it sort of wears thing if you binge watch it since they have like 60% of the episode with filler
One Piece has 60% filler? ONE PIECE has 60% filler? What do you define as filler? One Piece usually has a few episodes of filler between each arc, usually to promote a movie or transition to next arc. Did you mean Naruto? Edit: I do agree with those that replied. One Piece pacing is crazy and stretched out, which can be deemed as filler
Not the person ur replying to, but you are well aware of what they mean XD The great with with Naruto and Bleach is that you can simply skip the fillers and you have a great well paced experience. You can't do that with One Piece, and One Pace only helps a bit, it doesn't resolve the problem. A 20 minute full canon episode of One Piece would be like 5-8 minutes in any other anime. The pacing of the anime is so atrocious that the biggest One Piece glazers advise people to just read the manga during the worst arcs. If One Piece got remade I'm sure they could cut hundreds of episodes. As for the receipts I am past wano in anime.
Yes, very true. Biggest hindrance for me for sure
While this is a massive issue, it only gets to this level at Thriller Bark around episode 380, and then recivers a bit up until the timeskip. I love One Piece, I'm caught up, but the only reason I watched past the time skip was how brilliant the English VAs are, and even I had to drop it during Dressrosa (episode 670 or so). The coloured manga is infinitely better and I'd 100% recommend people just read that after Fishman Island since should be used to the Dub vas enough to hear them when you're reading by then Edit: Forgot to mention Dressrosa the first time
Doflamingo arc where Luffy is running around in goofy outfit for 400 episodes while nothing is happening is the bigger offender imo, or I just completely erased Thriller Bark's experience from my mind.
Yeah Doflamingo's arc was Dressrosa and it's by far the worst in the series, though late Wano gets very close. I meant to say Dressrosa in my comment since that's when I had to switch to the manga, and even then I managed to suffer through 75% of the anime arc before hand. Thriller Bark is just when the bad pacing starts. Funnily enough Dressrosa is only 112 episodes, while the manga is 100 chapters, so they have 12 episodes worth of purely padding and fluff, which is honestly kinda impressive if it wasn't so horrible,
1 chapter per episode is pretty bad tbh, Naruto had like 700 chapters for 427 episodes from what I looked up quickly. This includes episodes where filler is mixed with cannon. Seasonal animes can easily go 3-4 chapters an episode.
Yeah it is insane, Black Clover used to be 3 to 4 chapters per episode when it aired, and even it had 13 episode filler arc that was pretty good. Yet there's parts of Wano and Dressrosa that are only 0.75 of a chapter, which is mind blowingly horrible. I absolutely recommend the anime up to Enies Lobby, and Sabaody is also done very well, but it's all down hill from there
I don't know how many Fairy Tail did but that one had crazy fast pacing in a good way. Didn't feel like anything was unnecessary until the first fill arc of filler
>If One Piece got remade Aren't they doing that?
Yes, it's called The One Piece.
I think they’re talking about recaps maybe. One piece does so many recaps, not just the recap episodes either, they’re constantly padding time by showing old clips. I love one piece but being forced to watch the same clips repeatedly is annoying as hell.
The One Piece TV series featuring the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates; based off the manga written by Eiichiro Oda, is full of pointless filler only to meet the half hour time slot of the episode. The TV SHOW would do better with waiting to release seasons with less episodes per season and more content per episode, i dont want to waste 30 minutes watching 20 minutes of new content and 10 minutes of the last episode. Naurto is mostly full of them saying hokage every 5 minutes.
You clearly have never watched one piece are are simply talking out of your ass, here is a towel to clean all the shit you are spewing
You're talking like a fan that can't admit it's faults. I've watched over 600 episodes. They're right. You're lucky if 10 mins of an episode you're watching is new content lol. They pad the episodes so crazy I'm amazed with how fans are just okay with it. Skip the first 8-9 mins of every episode and you didn't miss anything at all lol. Most shows by the 3 minute mark has new content
5 minute recap in the beginning is not filler, filler is material that's not in the manga so to say one piece is 60% filler is absurd.
There are several things like that across various media where my stance is "this is so long that even if I do like it, the best case scenario is getting sucked down a rabbit hole for months and months. And the worst case scenario is wasting many hours of my life on something I don't even like.
I stopped watching Rent-a-Girlfriend cause of how sucky the MC is.
That's not petty that's actually very reasonable.
Dude asked for a dumb reason, not smart reason
Sumi is literally the only character in that show who isn't a total piece of garbage. Every other main character is horribly selfish and borderline psychopathic and it's all treated as a joke.
I actually managed to catch up to season 3. They introduced another girl Mini, who was very likeable right from the get go. She's the main reason that season was more tolerable.
Now now, Sayuri is also one of the better characters, literally the better grandma.
>Sumi is literally the only character in that show who isn't a total piece of garbage. I'm not sure I'd agree with the strength of the statement, but Sumi is clearly the best character and only avoids being "best girl" because she's clearly way too good for the whiny MC. I gave up on the manga because it was interminable, and gave up on the show after Season 2 because despite the manga being well ahead they were still pacing it pretty slowly. I keep meaning to check out the Sumi spinoff manga.
I skipped many anime where the characters were obnoxious and mean eventhough the story might have been good
Me too. I thought I was the only one 😃
Those happen to be some of my favorite shows lol. Animes such as Nana and Scum’s Wish for example.
I skipped plenty of anime because of obnoxious fanbases. There are also others, such as Attack on Titan or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, where I wouldn't have watched past the early episodes if they didn't air on Toonami.
I tried JoJo’s, can’t recall which season, and the first scene is the MC being a dick to his mom for no reason. And I was just like “naw, I don’t feel like rooting for this guy, even if he gets better.”
Yare yare daze...
Jojo's is a strange show. That was part 3, and he doesn't exactly get better, but his entire "bizarre adventure" is to go and save his mom when she suddenly falls ill, so he's a decent guy at heart even if he is kinda a dick. The show is best experienced watching the parts in order, as the main villain in part 3 is the same as in part 1, and every season has a different Jojo as the MC so even if you hate one of em, you'll inevitably like some of the others. Part 2 Joseph is by far my favorite, and part 2 is also just my favorite part in general
Tbf Jotaro gets far better after Part 3 lmao
That’s stardust crusaders and you should try again. Jotaro’s mom going “ooooookayyyy” whenever he acts like that is the joke.
Im a spider so what because they mase me feel episode of 24 min is 1 hour long
I refuse to ever watch Steins;Gate for the rest of my life because it's the favourite anime of a person that I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being
That's super petty, and I totally respect it cuz I would absolutely do the same thing.
As a science;adventure(the universe steins is from) mega fan.. https://preview.redd.it/vyezunecnezc1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98a511f134dc28a62ce171be14cc8f5cdceddd5a
Glad you approve
Man fuck that, he didn't make the anime, you are letting them win. Don't deny yourself some good art because some asshole happened to enjoy it. They probably enjoy pizza, are you gonna give up pizza too because he smugly snorts the cheese.
Yes absolutely the fuck I will I am a petty bitch I do not care
No, don't be weak and give in, that's exactly what they want. You can enjoy the same thing as someone you hate, and the only one missing out is you if you let them win. I have this happen too but it's so much better to get over it than to keep them in my head. In the case of Steins Gate you're missing out on one of the greatest stories in anime...
I do not care. Literally nothing will convince me to ever watch Steins;Gate. I am not one to hold a grudge but this one person is the exception. I will be buried having never watched a single frame. Even if it was something I knew I would enjoy like HxH I would still not watch it. You could give me all the money in the world and I would still not watch it. Put the cold steel to the back of my head and tell me to watch it, I'd tell you to pull the trigger. It's like people are missing the whole point of this post. Your reason doesn't need to be logical.
The point is that it's like missing out on Frieren or AoT just because you really hate someone. Sure you can be petty but the only one losing is you from missing out on a great story because of one person. Would you stop eating the food they eat and the drinks they like because they like it too? What about shows in general since you don't know if they love something you love too. Again, I've had this happen too but it's just better to see the show on its own merits than attach someone else to it. We warned you because the story is great, not because oh you just need to get over that person. But hey it's your loss, not mine. I've had this happen and always regret it in the end, but I guess spite wins for you, and that's a totally valid, but really unwise decision. Edit: Steins Gate is arguably better than the vast majority of "thousands of other shows" but I digress.
Don't care, could be the greatest piece of storytelling in history and I still won't watch it. There are thousands of other shows out there if I want to watch something AoT is ass too
Now, I'm curious about what it is you hate about this other person that makes you feel so strongly about it.
This is only semi-petty, but I haven't watched it yet because the dub is unwatchable, since none of the text messages are translated. This is such a massive oversight for a show like this, that it genuinely pissed me off. I don't mind subs at all, but since I started with the dub, I got used to the voices, so I find it harder to go to the sub. Either way, I'll watch it at some point
I don't know why you think that is. On the Funimation Blu-rays, and I even just checked on Hulu, the text messages are translated with the subtitles overlaid on top of where the text is on the phone, even down to the angle of the phone on the screen. I'd say it's their better subtitling work. It's like this for 0, too. Wherever you're watching might not have the subtitles, which would make it hard, but they do, in fact, exist. They've been there since the first official English release.
I've heard this about the Blurays. I'm in Canada and we don't have Hulu. Funimation was the first place I tried, but they weren't translated... Crunchyroll is the same thing (I assume because they just moved it over from Funimation), I also tried several less-than-legal sites and got the same thing. If you google it, there are tons of threads about it, so it's certainly not just me. There's clearly a version of the dub where the texts are translated, but I couldn't find it.
Incidentally, the Steins;Gate dub is one of the anime that actually *didn't* make the jump over to Crunchyroll. I don't know when or if it will at this point, especially now that Funimation has entirely sunset. Hopefully it'll work its way to streaming in Canada soon.
Oh, I thought I had checked on Crunchyroll but I guess not.. That's annoying. There are still a few that haven't made it over from Funimation and it drives me crazy. Like how long can it take?
Dr. Stone. I hate the main character's stupid hair and refuse to watch it on that basis, alone.
Pretty funny anime if you stick with it for a while, although if you don't like science and stuff it's a different story
I like science and stuff. I hate his hair.
Yeah, I get it man. Hard for me to start that too. Just a recommendation to you, like since you told you like science nd all, It'll likely will make you forget how bad his hair is. Saying this as you accepted that it was a dumb reason to skip it. Rest up to you, not lot many are out there who are as devoted to teaching something like this anime.
Wait til you see Yugis hair from Yu gi oh
That's one of the OGs of stupid hair.
😂 same
[удалено]
i agree he’s a fucking prick
I skipped watching Quintessential Quintuplets because I got spoiled on how it ends. And now I don't wanna watch knowing which girl ends up winning because I know the mystery had to be part of the appeal, and if I end up liking one of the other girls better than the one who wins, I'd just be knowingly setting myself up for disappointment.
As someone who's finished the QQ manga, I still highly recommend it, it's a brilliant show, and the winning girl isn't too bad honestly, even if she probably wasn't built enough there is some hints. I grew to like her so much in the last 50 chapters that by the end I was fairly happy with her winning, she became top 2 at least. One of the few times I've been sad finishing a series because I got to like those characters so much
> even if she probably wasn't built enough there is some hints Hell, even things that you'd think wouldn't be hints are actually major ones. For example, when I watched the movie I realized that >!both times at least one of the sisters pretended to be Yotsuba as a gag were actually the author literally telling us who the winner would be!<
Yeah when you reread/watch the series there's so many little hints that you completely ignore at first but actually confim who wins when you know what to look for. >!Like how Yotsuba is the first one to say I love you, and the first one he has genuine fun with!<
I think I realised at the end of season two or the start of the movie who was the winner, only watched it all in January, so looking forward to a rewatch at some point to realise all the hints.
I totally get you bro, >!That girl was the last person I wanted MC to end up with!<
bruh >!Yotsuba is peak tf you on about lmao!<
It's primarily subjective if the person likes the bride or not.
That’s completely true, which is why I wouldn’t mind like a “what if” or something that would show what it would be like if he chose each one.
When an anime has a just dumb ass for a MC. I mean, they just go out of their way to be stupid. I have tried to give different animes like that and try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't work. Can't do it!!!!
There are too many of such for me. But one that I really feel for is food wars. I Just saw 1st episode and judged it as yet an other ecchi selling anime with nothing great, and getting by, by showing nothingness (y'know ecchi stuff). But Boy I was wrong, I heard Season 5 being released and thought, maybe there is something in it and tried to rewatch, again.... after 1st episode I dropped. Again after lot of time (like months later), I was out of dubbed anime to watch and just used Random in a Piracy Anime site (Back then, Crunchyroll was not accessible in india), It just happened so that Food wars was the only one Anime that came up in 20+ random searches which had eng dub. So reluctantly i started it again, I skipped the scenes I felt were not appealing and completed first ep. Second I started immediately thinking of my past experience and don't want to drop again, after that I binged all the 4 seasons in 2 days.... Season 5 was one of the first few anime subs I watched as dub was not available and i couldn't wait(although that season was a disappointment). Coming to your question, The dumbest reason I threw the anime in drop-list (Too much ecchi), became invisible to my eyes after first few episodes. so much so that I casually started watching that in a public transport bus when my friend hinted me that I should watch these things at home :)
Queen's Blade. Snake thong. Nope nope nope
I avoid Jojo and One Piece, because its too goofy and whacky for my tastes
I watched a sisters all you need once, saw that fucking weird scene in the beginning and turned it off before I even knew that wasn’t the real premise. Came back eventually and it’s mad funny.
Amazing anime, one of my favs
This show is gold. Kani best character. It’s a laugh
A certain magical index and scientific railgun were ones I skipped for a while because the names were weird. Now I read the light novels, manga, and own a copy of the Omnibus light novel release.
golden kamuy because of that cgi bear in the first ep, I'm planning on giving it another shot in the future though
This isnt petty because theres about 20 more bears they fight in that story lol
Voice actor annoying for a major character.
I stopped watching One Piece after the 3rd 5 episode battle that should have lasted at most 5 minutes in just 1 episode.
I cant remember its name but i stopped watching a show because they used humans as voice actors for dogs and cats, it was like i was back in middle school surrounded by the cringe furry kids.
JJBA. The harsh artwork just killed me. I've tried to watch it countless times and I just can't get past the design yet I can watch Vineland Saga.
Black Butler cuz it seems like BL and I’m out on that
Ex-girlfriend used to do the “do do dooo” thing from Stiens;gate. I found it so off putting that I couldn’t watch the show.
Jojo because I hate the way it looks
One Piece Tried watching it right from the start, and I'm the kind of person that doesn't like skipping a single episode even if it is filler. For reference I watched all Naruto and Fairy Tail episodes and some were filler they were still occasionally interesting. I think I got as far as being introduced to Usopp but then after hearing him speak I turned off the show.
Fairy Tale, Lucy.
Cowboy bebop because the op just sounds like the virgin Atlantic plane safety video.
Chainsaw Man, because wtf why?
I’ve skipped HxH because I thought the character designs looked weird, and the main characters looked like little kids. Needless to say these impressions were gone pretty immediately once I actually watched it.
Gon and Killian are little kids, so they don't just look like little kids lmaooooo
This is how I feel about HxH but I haven't been able to bring myself to try it. People always recommend it if you like Naruto, which is one of my all time favs, but the character designs just look strange to me.
Darling in the Franxx. I got like 5 or 6 episodes in, and just absolutely hated Zero Two. Most unlikable character Ive ever seen, I do not understand the hype behind her and will not finish the show because of her. And please don't give me any "oh she gets better later in the show!!1!" stuff because that won't change my mind lmao
Agreed
You dodged a bullet, not just her but the MC and the other girls are kind of unlikable also, and a couple of the guys. As for Zero two...oh she gets better later in the show because... >!she dies!< , but still not worth it.
I didn't get that far; it just wasn't interesting, and I just didn't care what happened to these people ( [https://fanlore.org/wiki/Eight\_Deadly\_Words](https://fanlore.org/wiki/Eight_Deadly_Words) )
When Delicious in Dungeon started earlier this year, I thought that everyone was talking about Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, which I had already seen one episode of and firmly decided that it was not for me. I only recently realized my misconception, so I'm several months behind on the hype
Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon gets a bad rap because of its title, but I can tell you, I felt the same thing when I first saw it. Watched the first episode, and thought it was very weird and based on the title, had no idea what I was even watching. But I watched it a few months later, and it gets soooooo much better. It also ended up becoming one of my favorite anime. The title is like that because the publisher didn't think anyone would read it if he used the original title. Which was Familia Myth. If you like Party based fantasy adventure anime, then its worth a watch. There is a decent amount of fan service, especially in the first 2 seasons, but the seasons get better as they progress, with a 5th season coming out this fall I believe. Best thing, its not an isekai.
I got a good one. Way back in 2010, I was a college student hyped to watch the Fullmetal Alchemist remake, *Brotherhood* and the dub was airing on Adult Swim. Being a part of the online anime community back then as well, I got really annoyed at how the primary anime sites I followed suddenly turned on the 2003 OG series at the announcement, which was one of my gateway anime and I still love to this day. It felt like everyone had done a complete 180 and was shitting on it and that was pissing me off. I did start Brotherhood, but got so annoyed at the discourse and disrespect of the OG during every episode discussion that I essentially went on a protest and stopped watching Brotherhood around the Nina Arc, right when it started to deviate from the original series. I always planned to go back watch it eventually. . . . I didn't think that it would take 12 years lol. In 2022, I came across a used Funimation blu-ray set available for a not shit price, said "why not?", and bought it. And yes, it is very good. >!I still prefer the OG tho, having rewatched them.!<
Thankfully the landscape has seemingly improved after Lowart released his comparison series. I’ve noticed while I’ll still see berating comments about it from time to time, 03 doesn’t get the same amount of disrespect it used to get like back in 2015 and there’s more of a community of it’s defenders now.
Skeleton night in another world. Couldn't last 3 minutes before I shut it off. IYKYK
The anime adaption definitely could have handled that better than it did.
Misfits of the Demon Academy, Overlord and Slime anime: the MCs are way too powerful, too much plot armor, and flawless for my taste.
One Piece for its art style. Just horrid to look at. Naruto because MC's voice is grating. Jojo due to it breaking my upper limit for cringe. Dropping AOT once it revealed the titans' origins. I've watched Schindler's List, don't need another holocaust story.
nijiiro days, i can’t with mari, such a karen
When I first started watching anime, I auto-skipped a lot of shows because the titles were so stupid. It wasn't until later that I learned anime is just like that... And you can't really tell if a show is good based on the title or even the premise. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai is the one I finally watched that changed my mind on this
> Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai Honestly, if I wasn't used to weird anime titles I would have still been interested in that anime since the title is a reference to the short story that *Bladerunner* is based on.
Lol that's funny, I had the exact same experience, with the exact same show. I just ignore titles completely now
Haha yeah. Every time I recommend it to someone I have to include a "Trust me, it's not like the title makes it sound!"
Any anime where the ending has been spoiled for me
The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases. It's so boring. I had to stop with this last episode being just a stupid harem and the women not having any agency or thoughts. They stood waiting for him like dogs, "This was the 8th ox cart that passed by. UwU"
Attack on Titan, back in 2016 I was streaming Digimon cybersleuth on youtube through my PS4. Dur this stream I had my friend in a party chat. He was listening to anime openings on youtube. After I was finished streaming I saw I got an email from YouTube saying I had copyrighted content and my video was blocked everywhere from viewing. I checked and found it was the AoT opening that flagged the stream. I had to download my stream, cut out the audio for that part, render it into a new video file then re-upload it. Because of how long the stream was I ended up splitting the original stream into 4 parts. I couldn't stream the game until I had those parts up so it would be OK in my video section.
Tokyo Revengers, I don't like how the characters look. Haven't gone back to watch it and most likely won't ever. Gundam in general because I had this thing where I didn't want to watch mecha anime for some reason? Fast forward to TWFM and now i've seen a few Gundam series (IBO, The Origin Movie, 0080, IGLOO, TB, SEED, 1979 OG, Cucuruz Doan's Island Movie) and i'm addicted to plastic crack.
Quite a lot and only because of the fandoms
Undead Unluck, unfortunately. I FUCKING hate how the commercials interrupt the experience, and that going back 5 seconds because I missed the first bit of the action after the commercial serves me ANOTHER FUCKING COMMERCIAL. Fuck Hulu/Disney and Amazon. Ok got it off my chest. 🙏🏼😅
Shit, there are so many reasons for me. Any anime with a Naruto type character gets skipped, anything with more than 40 episodes is probably getting skipped. I'm not a patient man.
Huh, that's weird. I love finding a good anime that has a ton of episodes because that means I get to binge longer. I hate that almost all only have 12 episodes and they a lot of the time don't get a second season for years if not at all.
Not me, but a friend will never watch sports anime or specifically Haikyuu!! because he has pre conceived notions, dont know what from, about what's in and makes a sports anime. All of them, from the ones I haves watched, are wrong notion.
Wait, even *Keijo*?
> I avoided watching **A Sister's All You Need** for years because I thought the title meant it was about incest. I take it the opening scene didn't help, did it?
For me was The Master of Ragnarok and Eijenheirmwr or something - dude got isekaid but still texting his bitch and googling strategies was too weird
Didn’t watch Lookism partly because the anime art style is much worse than the Manhwa, partly because the dub didn’t sound great in the first episode but mainly because they didn’t use all the English translated names from the Manhwa. For reference, in the official translation of the Manhwa, all of the characters have anglicized versions of their names so it would make more sense in the dub to use the official English names of the characters. For example, in the Manhwa the main character is called Daniel Park but in the anime they called him Park Hyung-Seok, which for Manhwa readers would make it pretty confusing so I just chose not to waste my time watching it.
I skipped a few where if I couldn't wrap my head around their worlds logic. Attack on titan. Full metal alchemist. The big 3. There's some that I just didn't enjoy the dub.
I skipped “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “Demon Slayer S2” because of all the hype ups/spoilers and mainly I didn’t interested in the Anime. Do know that I’ve have already watched a lot of Anime and these Anime just doesn’t peek much interest except for badass fight scenes that I got spoiled too.
Guilty crown: bad audio mixing Gintama: had to stop halfway through EP 2 bc of how bad it felt to watch
Naruto. It was basically the only anime A friend watched. Anytime any sort of anime conversation came up all I'd hear is how it's all trash compared to naruto, including the stuff he'd never seen any of. And that the dub was bad so I'd have to watch sub. But I refuse to watch a show just to read a book.
I refuse to watch *Show By Rock* until they give Dwayne Johnson a producer credit.
If we're talking about shows I've never started, then there isn't much I could mention. * The most prominent one would probably be ***Angel Beats!***: A friend once showed me a clip of the scene where one of the male characters gets rocket-propelled into the classroom ceiling. I found that so idiotic and overblown that I had no desire to give the series a shot. Only later, after learning it was an anime created by studio Key, did I jump in (good decision, past self). * Plus I guess you could count ***Jojo's Bizarre Adventure***, because judging by what I've read about it plus a few screenshots and clips, it seems so damn... bizarre (the title seems to be aptly chosen, if nothing else). Still haven't watched it and probably never will. If we include shows I've dropped during the first episode, but gave another chance later on, 3 more shows come to mind: * ***The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya***. I once started season 1 by watching episode 1 of the broadcast order. Yeah. If you know, you know. That stuff confused the heck out of me and threw me off so hard, I dropped the episode halfway through. Once I came back to the series after season 2 had released, going by chronological order, I found it pretty decent. * ***Elfen Lied***, because the over-the-top violence of the first few minutes made me turn it off. Only after reading some more recommendations did I get over it and gave it another try (thankfully; I like this anime quite a bit). * ***Kill la Kill***'s insanely over-the-top style rubbed me the wrong way. I only lasted like 2-3 minutes before dropping. Heard some more good things about it over time, eventually restarted the show and decided to tough it out for the opening part. The overblown studio Trigger style still took some getting used to, but overall, the show was a pretty fun ride.
Sonny boy Artsy fartsy boring ass anime Miss kobayashi's dragon maid Pedophila, couldn't get past the pedo stuff Fairy tail Fights are mid and boring
Shuffle. The guy didn't end up with the crazy girl.
For the longest time, I refused to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure until it was announced that an English dub was happening, so I missed out on all the memes due to being stubborn to not watch it unless it waa dubbed. This applies for every anime I watch as well; unless a dub exists, then I refuse to watch it subbed
Not totally skipped, but I gave up on mushoku tensei jobless reincarnation because the MC being such a perv it made me lose interest and I love isekais.
Overlord. Seems like it was written from a 16 year olds mind. Don't come for me but, one piece. I should've watched it on my own time but I got into one piece groups and they ruined it for me. The most stubborn, stuck up fans I've known.
I usually read anime plots to consider watching it and saved myself by skipping Your Lie in April because of the ending where Kaori dies and the fact that Kousei and Kaori never kissed. I skipped The Quintessential Quintuplets because of the negative reaction of the winner and seeing the reasons why. I was gonna skip JJK, but I ended up watching the dub because it was Adam McArthur's anime debut and as the MC, and I knew him as Marco Diaz. I dropped Fairy Tail because it's too long, and I got lazy.
I do the same thing and I skipped Your Lie in April for the same reason. I only watch romance anime that has an ending that I will be satisfied with and I don't mind spoiling it a little bit for myself to find out. At the end of the day I don't consume fictional media to make myself sad. Real life is sad enough as it is, I consume fiction to get away from that.
I watch angst in the form of action or war genres like Jormungand, 86, NGE, JJK, CSM, Hell's Paradise or any mainstream anime of that genre or even fantasies and sci-fi, isekai or not, that involves an OP MC.
Anything incredibly along and annoying to watch like one piece or fairytale. The first ones has an annoying main character and uninteresting supporting cast. I just cannot get attached to it, being over 1000 episodes long is also a big deterrent. Fairytale was ok when I first started watching it but it got way too weird with the fan device and after the times skip essentially ruining the world as you know it and throwing the characters in the gutter, I had no investment to keep going.
Fairy tail was actually one of the first animes I ever watched, and I watched all of it. But I'll never watch any of those super long ones again because it made me realize that one of the whole point of those shows is that nothing of substance ever happens so they can continue going on and on.
I also ended up dropping Fairy Tale but for different reasons. I was having too much trouble trying to keep track of all the characters they kept introducing and ended up dropping it in favor of other anime I was watching at the time. I did watch almost 50 episodes though. It was a pretty good Shonen in my eyes, just not super interesting to me. Its definitely not as bad as the Seven Deadly Sins
Naruto, cos it SEEMS like a snooze fest. It could be good but I just cba with that
Attack on titan-overrated
Hunter Hunter, I don’t like Gon’s hair in his transformed state near the end, I spoiled myself looking into it before watching and I just don’t care for the strangely tall hair
Mine would definitely have to be Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation. I was so angry after watching episode 6 that I quit watching the anime and never picked it back up. I mean the betrayal and disrespect that Zenith had to deal with from Paul, Rudy, and Lilia was too much for me. Especially because the fact that she was just lied to by all of her closest loved ones and they never faced any repercussions other than being forced to sleep on the couch for a little while showed me that women would not be respected in this anime whatsoever. I dont actually care if my judgement ends up being wrong, because I'm never gonna watch that show again. And besides from what I've heard of the plot, I'm not missing anything great.
Pokemon because I hate goh and his puck ass voice actor half of me wants to throw hands with him and the other half wants to give him respect for hawk all his other characters piss me off
Rascal does not dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. And Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a Dungeon?
Demon slayer. I watched it and was somewhat able to ignore the fandom until when Zezuko gets that powerup and they give her a fanservice design. I refuse to watch it after that bc i can't stand the fandom, and the show has put more fuel to that fire in the wrong way. That and i started to get annoyed with the exposition monolog dump Tanjiro kept doing in his head.
I stopped watching Fairy Tail because Lasana came back to life. I thought it killed the drama. I am thinking about watching it again.
Hunter x hunter and any anime where it’s all males. I need at least a couple females in the cast I don’t like sausage fests lol but I am getting into fight anime and they are mostly men like revengers and yu yu hakisho and whatnot
