Name your overrated anime

[Sagacious Zhu]

Haruhi Suzumiya. I tuned in expecting them to take the whole "God is a teenage girl" and run with it. What I got was a basic high school anime made worse by grating, stereotypical stock characters

Assuming this is all totally personal and nobody's going to throw a shit fit because I dared to be honest?

Actually, I think you might have just summed up Hellsing pretty well. It was a pretty brainless DMC type of affair. I liked it, but it was brainless at times.


My 2 cents will be Eva.

All I'll say is,

Comatose.

Bleach, i really cannot understand why people watch that anime.i find it completely unfathomable.

 

[SplitDemonIdentity]

I agree with everything that's been said thus far.

I dunno maybe it's coz I don't like being told what's good but every time I'm told that some series is "Like the best anime EVAR!" by my friends it never holds up. Or maybe my friends are into boring stupid anime and I just shouldn't listen to them. Which is logical considering one adores Dragonball Z, and One Piece. She has terrible taste.

99% of anime in general is overrated. The quality of the animation is pathetic, the voice acting is horrible and the plot/dialogue seem to have been written by a 13 year old.
Obviously there are always exceptions, but anime on the whole is utter dross.

For someone who followed Naruto a bit, this is kind of awkward. Now I'm just waiting for the end to come so I can find out who died, who lived, and whether Sasuke stops being a prick.

After season 2, I couldn't stand watching Bleach anymore. The main character annoyed the hell out of me, I disliked most of the girls on the show, and the plot seemed to just follow the DBZ format. You beat up one set of villians because you magically gained some awesome power at the last minute and then another comes up and you just repeat.

I just...I can't. My friends love it, but I can't stand it.

I loved it when I was 6. Despise it now.

Does Inu-Yasha still count or has everyone wiped the anime from their minds? I know I am still scared I can't believe they did that.

I am happy to see welcome to the NHK and hajime no ippo have no mentions yet

Precisions.

My experience is with the TV series for the most part, but anytime someone mentions the words "unstoppable force" to me, I'm a little less interested. What can I say, I like my protagonists with a shred of pathos and at least a minimum of vulnerabilities. Otherwise, you might as well re-title the show as "Watch a Godmode Kick Ass".

Perhaps I should have clarified:
Alucard takes on more of an "outside force" mode as well, is more along the lines of what I was trying to say.
I.e. they don't really attempt to derive excitement/tension from the battles he partakes in, and do instead let other aspects be the focal points.

I have watched the TV series as well, and I really didn't like it. The OVAs are good though.
There are only 8 OVAs as of right now, and it's still ongoing. I really recommend you try watching it. In my opinion, the OVAs show that there isn't anything wrong with the concept of the series. The TV producers just failed completely at executing it.

Spoiler: Also, I love how the animators treat the characters:

More stuff about Alucard.

I'll have to check that out, then. I'm always up for giving a second chance to something that's received acclaim. I guess part of my resistance to it is that I'm kind of an objector to the last few years' worth of productions involving vampires. I understand that making the undead relatable is something that's been going on for over twenty years, but I prefer my vamps to be of the original Dracula or Nosferatu schools of thought. Which is to say, I like them somewhat more threatening than seductive - and flamboyance falls straight in with the sort of stuff that makes me groan.

So no, it won't be that much of a shock if I say I'm absolutely not a Twihard. I think the last modern vamps I really liked were those from the Blade series. Debauched yuppies who do indeed *look* good, but who'd sooner tear your throat out than try and be at a level with them poor, disadvantaged mortals.

Good to hear you'll give it a chance.
I can't guarantee you'll like it of course. You may still find Alucard somewhat flamboyant, but he certainly doesn't seem the type to have any compassion for the petty humans.

Three of them: Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. I know that chances are, they will never stop making more but I started from the beginning with all of them and I am ending with all of them.

You know theyre mostly for kids right? Id say one piece is probably the most hyped amongst fans of shonen and bleach is the worst but still theyre shonen and focused for kids.

The mangas certainly are not. I have kind of left off on the anime dubs and instead, just reading the manga. So much more violent and so much more mature.

Not that much, blood here, drug use there but still teens see so much more.
