Overhyped Anime

Kodomo no Jikan is an example of an anime hyped up to be bad. It's supposedly got a good story in there somewhere, but the main character's behavior (and even more icky content in the manga) make it hard for people to wanna watch/read that series.

That anime too. I sorely dissapointed when I watched Kodomo no Jikan and it wasn't half as depraved or disgusting as most discussions of the series would have you think. I think I even sent a JB#s a pm saying that it didn't deserve it's reputation. The fanservice was no more extreme than anything you'd find in an average harem series(infact, there's probably more explict scenes involving "the token loli" character in some echii shows out there).

lol @ DBZ complaints solely based on length. They made Kai for a reason, folks. The manga is also more to the point than the anime. Especially bad if your only experience with the series was the awful English dub of Z.

Angel Beats was supposed to be groundbreaking based solely on the names behind the project and it wasn't even on par with the other Big 3 Key works.

Angel Beats suffered from being way too short, 26 episodes would have given more room to explore the backstories of the rest of the cast but no such luck, hopefully the VN adaption that is apparently going to happen will fill in tge blanks the anime couldn't cover due to it's length.

Angel Beats was going in the right direction...until the completely out of nowhere enemies started to show up. Then the anime started to rush the hell out of everything. That's what ultimately hurt it.

This is because the main character isn't the standard scared of women douche.

Actually, it's also because he doesn't fall into the typical trap of similar series' shooting for an incest end, when he's really just trying to be a good big brother.

And my one reason for wanting to watch this anime.

That feel when the anime will never go beyond the second season, giving her a slightly bigger role.

Gonna get a lot of heat for this but Clannad. Unless slice of life is your thing, its very overhyped by its fans.
Click to expand...
No, I sorta agree. I went into Clannad after all the hype surrounding it. I honestly felt nothing. Probably because I didn't like Nagisa at all. Her character was just soooo god damn boring. We had so many different characters introduced, and the absolute boring girl was chosen as the love interest. The After Story also felt dumb as hell mainly because the concept behind its True Ending path really only works for VNs/games, not an anime supposedly set in the real world (though Fuuka was already kinda pushing it).

I love it a lot, but One Piece is definitely overhyped. It's not the greatest thing ever nor is Oda a godly mangaka.

I guess any insanely popular long runner is overhyped...

People I know were calling Puella Magi Madoka Magica overrated, but I disagree

I personally don't understand the appeal in Bleach either.

I was in for the first two arcs, then decided to GTFO.

IDK. I just got bored.

I think it was on Rapture a few years ago. I stumbled across it one night but I couldn't really get into it. I'm sure it's a great series if you have the patience to wait for the network to cycle back to the first episode so you can enjoy it from the begining, but I don't.

Okay, seriously! We NEED more Anime that use good stories, characters and plots more as selling points. And by "good characters," I mean protagonists and antagonists that are well-characterized, NOT well-sexualized and well-developed NOT in the sense of their physical appearance! Also by "good story," I DON'T mean randomly contrived sexual scenes that are making a failed attempted at humor which serves jacks**t to the so-called "story."

This actually makes me want to watch Ore no Imouto considering all the doujinshi I've usually seen go for the incest end or a threesome. I find it interesting that the actual series avoids the trap while fans happily jump into it.

Does that mean FLCL's overhyped? Because with his comment, it seems like it (I doubt it is).

Didn't it used to be way back during the Toonami days? I remember loads of people saying how great and complex FLCL was.
