Overhyped Anime

Yes, you're practically spamming them to be honest.
That's what some strategies in Pokemon battles are. Someone hacked you, you have Magic Guard.

I love seeing people miserable for reasons like yours, it cracks me up.

It was a great story. Tell me, what was so wrong with it? Make an effort to convince me you're not full of it and try a cohesive, logical argument.

Opinions are not facts. Seriously. If you like it, fine! If someone else doesn't, fine! Why does it bother you that much?

And besides that, saying it's dumb is probably the most "too the point" complaint I have. What's dumb about it? I thought a lot of the characters were poorly designed, especially that army of fuzz-balls, which honestly I didn't find funny, creative, or even much to look at or listen to. There's also a guy with opossum like eyes that talks in a stereotypical gay accent. Jee, what a great character design. (Sarcasm.)

The overrated quotes like "This drill will pierce the sky" or "Just who the hell do you think we are," ...Is that supposed to be catchy? I can combine a random weapon, an action, and a location into one sentence too. "This Chakra will slice the heavens." ...Okay, they're just quotes. It's not that they're annoying, it's just that... I don't see how its catchy.

And before you say anything, I watched the whole series through. I may not remember much of it (I try not to) but I don't remember any part I particularly enjoyed. Most of it was just... boring. The jokes were more annoying than anything and the rest just didn't appeal to me. I don't care if you like Gurren Lagann. That's all fine and dandy. But you have no authority telling people they can't like it, even if you assume they have "dumb" reasons for disliking it.

You're right, opinions are not facts. So if you're going to post saying it's a bad show I'm going to post saying it's a great show. That's how a debate works.

And besides that, saying it's dumb is probably the most "too the point" complaint I have. What's dumb about it? I thought a lot of the characters were poorly designed, especially that army of fuzz-balls, which honestly I didn't find funny, creative, or even much to look at or listen to. There's also a guy with opossum like eyes that talks in a stereotypical gay accent. Jee, what a great character design. (Sarcasm.)

Like right here. I disagree and say that the character designs were great. Kamina made those old gangster glasses cool again, and had on of the most badass tattered capes out there. Yoko's attire speaks for itself as to how over the top and honest the show can be, while her strong personality still shines through. Same can be said for Leeron. Even with his heavy gay overtones his character of a down to earth mechanic is still able to form an attachment with the audience. And not to mention the Beastmen were not just fuzz-balls. They had apes, anteaters, chickens, birds, and all sorts of fish henchmen too.

The overrated quotes like "This drill will pierce the sky" or "Just who the hell do you think we are," ...Is that supposed to be catchy? I can combine a random weapon, an action, and a location into one sentence too. "This Chakra will slice the heavens." ...Okay, they're just quotes. It's not that they're annoying, it's just that... I don't see how its catchy.

The "drill piercing the heavens" quote is not just to sound cool, it has deep meaning within the story. Lord Genome explains in episode 18 that spiral creatures always seek to reach the heavens, which relates to the underlying theme of human evolution throughout the series.

And before you say anything, I watched the whole series through. I may not remember much of it (I try not to) but I don't remember any part I particularly enjoyed. Most of it was just... boring.

Okay at least in this post you TRIED to make a decent argument. Even if you didn't respond to my challenge to say why it wasn't a good story.

Though I never said you couldn't like it. In fact I said:
You can dislike the show all you want.

Okay, so we are in an agreement. You like Gurren Lagann, I don't. So be it. Settled? :D

Can I say One Piece and not be killed. If not, Bobobo-bobo-bobobobobo. Or whatever it is called.

How is Bobo overhyped? It's practically hated by most people that watches it simply because it's amazingly crazy. I've barely seen any people that actually like the series...

Oh boy here we go.

I'm in the pool that it's overhyped. It's still a great show, but I didn't find it mind blowing like some people did.

Well, at least they're technically accurate. Kyuubey really doesn't have emotions, to be fair.

But yeah, I liked Madoka, but I don't think it's the be-all end-all of "magical girl deconstruction" anime. It had its flaws and downsides, and it's stretching it to say it's underhyped. At all.

I think the hyped died down pretty quick for Madoka. While it was airing, it was a little overhyped, mainly for episode 3. It's a good show, and does live to the hype though. I agree it's not the be-all end-all of the magical girl genre. It does come damn close for the time being.

Madoka underhyped? It's fanbase treated it as the best thing to ever happen to anime for most of 2011, you couldn't walk five feet through any anime related website without seeing something Madoka related. It was a good show, but it wasn't anywhere near worthy of such hype and exposure.
