ITT: Popular anime that you can't get into/don't see the hype

Same. VEG is peak modern Kyoani. Looks amazing, but it's characters are flat as fuck.

>Monogatari.
I liked the Monkey arc, but the rest weren't even half as interesting. Back when I first watched it there was also a bunch of irritating pseudointellectuals orbiting it and overanalyzing every little dialogue because of the quirky direction gave them the illusion it was deeper than it actually was. The general opinion seems to have since mercifully changed to a more reasonable "it's a quirky harem with good fanservice", but I'm not really interested in it enough anymore to watch the follow-up seasons.

>Konosuba
This one really baffles me. It's barely parodic, has very few jokes and is not really funny. Darkness is such a non-character that considering part of the main cast is an insult to the other three. And it's not like they're pillars of characterization either, but at least they're charming. It feels like it shouldn't be more popular than something like Sabagebu, yet it's got a very successful movie with an international release.

I loved katanagatari which is also written by nisio isin but I was utterly bored by monogatari

The first episodes of bake are kinda misleading, the rest of the series is quite different in tone and style. The same goes for Madoka... I highly doubt you finished those series. I mean, you may dislike them, but after watching a fair amount of episodes, I'm pretty sure anyone can understand the appeal. For instance, I hate Yuasa's shows but I can see why so many hipsters enjoy it.

Death note
Was not for me with the I'm so smart plotting just as planned and got about 8-9 episode in.
Evangelion
Saw it all was boring as fuck.
But I was 14 at the time and it was just cringy.

I hear it's better if you're a pedophile

Nice Zig Forums related image faggot.

Slime Isekai. I don't understand how it got anywhere near the amount of praise it did. It's one the most shameless self-Insert Isekais I've ever fucking seen. The MC is painfully boring, everyone just instantly sucks his dick. They literally fucking praise him for doing the most mundane things. None of the other characters are anything special either.
Apparently It's supposed to be comedy, but I didn't even notice there was an attempt at humor.

Granted I only saw the first 12 episodes or so, but I'd be really fucking surprised if it got better later on.

TF2 is honorary anime.

Kimetsu no Yaiba

I finished Madoka but not bake

Guin Saga

>a bunch of irritating pseudointellectuals orbiting it and overanalyzing every little dialogue
1. I never watched a single thread overanalyzing thee Monogatari series. The only people who seem to do it are Monogatari haters (for some reason). Barely anyone praised Bakemonogatari as a "deep" series; however, I'd argue that it's as deep as an anime can get. I mean we're talking about anime, not Synecdoche New York, Bakemonogatari aired in the same year as K-on! All in all, Bakemonogatari It's a really great and absolutely enjoyable anime, "a quirky harem with good fanservice" if you will, but one where none of the fanservice is gratuitous and actually serves a purpose. It's "a quirky harem" with interesting memorable characters (and they truly are characters, not some one-dimensional plot devices), arcs, style and imagery that stick in your head... the dialogues aren't stupid by any means, but they aren't "deep" enough to please Ergo Proxy fans (which is great). Oh god, I'm so glad they didn't make the efforts to appeal to pseudo-intellectuals crowds who think they'll find the meaning of life through binging some Japanese animated series.
2. Now, if you're talking about idiots who make video essays and that kind of shit, I'll let you know that there are countless of video essays on Yuasa's idiotic shows and even Naruto. It's unavoidable.

Well if you can't dig a "Mahou shoujo with actual consequences for the characters", the show isn't for you. That's the appeal, basically.

What are you now, 15?

Look guys I posted kino

As someone who didn't like Bake much I'd still suggest to power through it until the Second Season, as at that point the series makes a complete genre change and rather than a quirky harem becomes a supernatural mystery with an overarching conflict connecting the various arcs (the harem aspect becomes background noise). It's not about depth, it is that Bake was just a prologue and it's not representative for the show as a whole except for the visual style (and even that only to an extent)

I will laugh but I will LIVE harder

25 and I still have not bothered with both animes because I just don't care about seeing them any more.
I much rather rewatch TTGL or Trigun for the twentieth time then sit though shingi been a bitch for 25 episode compared to Simon's 3.

Kimetsu is one of those thing that I don't hate, its just that I've never really been into superpowered fights in anything, especially shounen action manga.
I actually think in kimetsu's case its kind of a shame I couldn't stick with it, admittedly the overall production was really good and it didn't feel as draggy as other Jump series.
I only saw 11 episodes of it.

I don't think death note holds up on a rewatch, when I was younger I thought of it as a shounen that was for people who don't really like shounen, but looking back it was still very much a shounen and it was only really a shounen series thrown through a sort of darker filter.
Looking back. the second half doesn't really measure up with the first either.

Rick Mays, his voice actor died of covid 19 :(

Everytime gurren lagann gets brought up, I remember how the second half never really felt any fun for me and that Shin mazinger and giant robo were shows I was better of just rewatching.
