Kameruka: I remember watching Boy's Be during its airing time on AXN. That said, I understand totally nothing about the series because I was a lot younger back then.

I feel that appreciating a role a show played in anime history is different than appreciating the actual show itself. But Boys Be.... Man, these chicks are ugly! Especially that glasses one...ew, do guys really think she's attractive!?

Accel World and Hidan no Aria for me. There's really a lot of hate despite the fact they are both entertaining enough for enjoyment.

That said though, I still really liked the show in general and don't understand the seemingly common viewpoint that the main character's very existence made it completely unwatchable and negated any other positive qualities it may have had. |

"Back in the day?"
Don't give me that. That anime is only from the 2000s; 2007 I think!! And the Sailormoon characters are still quite bishoujo. To be fair, the Boys Be manga has much nicer art. It looks like whoever did the anime character designs just really f*cked them up. XD (though that meganekko is still really ugly in the manga too. )

I have often been criticized in the past for liking Key's adaptation of the visual novel Air. Whenever someone wants to lob a complaint at it they generally make fun of the distinct ("noseless") character designs or the "incomprehensible" plot. Or, if the person is particularly uncreative, they'll just whine about how it's "not as good as Clannad."
I've given up pointing out that Air came after Kanon but before Clannad. There are obvious issues with the story because Key hadn't hit its stride yet. It's certainly not "incomprehensible" though unless you need to be fed plot-points like breadcrumbs. The ending is not painstakingly explicit because it doesn't need to be. If you've been following the story up to that point then you should be able to figure out for yourself what happens to Misuzu and Yukito. And as for the character designs . . . you either love them or hate them. There are many design styles that I don't like (Hisashi Hirai's, for example) but I try not to overtly criticize them simply because they're not appealing to me personally. In fact, I fell in love with Air long before I had the pleasure of watching it simply because of the character designs. I saw an image of Misuzu with her arms outstretched, golden-hair streaming in the wind and knew I had see her in motion. The set of singles was the best blind buy I've ever made. I wish more people would give Air an honest chance without holding it up to Clannad (or Kanon, for that matter), but people will be people. To each their own

Rosalena, do not worry. Air is VERY loved. It's one of my favorites too. Reason being I get attached to characters before plot and Misuzu and Yukito are the best characters Visual Key has given us. I love those two much more than the leads from Clannad, Kanon, and even Angel Beats.
I even have a Misuzu plushie that hangs in my car window. Quote:
The art is beyond gorgeous.

Now then, I agree what you said in the second. To dismiss a show because of the MC appearance alone, it seems really shallow. Quote:

Air's greatest curse is that it's held up to the other Key works, Kanon and Clannad in particular. It's important to keep in mind that these shows had twice as much time to convey their story. (Even more if you include Clannad After Story.) Kanon is my favorite, but Air has a special place in my heart as well; it has a magical, enchanting mood that I love to let myself get lost in. A top-tier show for sure. It'll always have a spot on my list of favorites.

I like main charas in Air more. After Story in Clannad didn't do much for me considering that I disliked the pairing.
Besides Air's ending is far ,more tragic then what we got in Clannad =/ I wish Key would have more guts to do something like that again.
