Angel Beats!
Thought it was okay at best. Having raised the bar way up there with CLANNAD and Kanon (2006) I was hoping for something similar from Key, but I guess it wasn't the same without KyoAni and with episode number restricted to 13. Didn't really like any of the characters much and the finale was unsatisfactory. |

Lucky Star.
Sure, some of the jokes were funny, but that wasn't enough to overturn my opinion of it, I hated some of the randomness and I just disliked everything else. I found it so hard to watch, it took me a long time to finish, and an even longer time to begin watching. Then again, I never finished Azumanga Daioh and I have no intentions of ever seeing Nichijou, so I guess these shows just aren't my cup of tea.

K-ON!
I'm aware that this will couse many hater comments so.. COME AT ME BRO But seriously... what's the meaning of this series? Being supercool if you're handsome and moeing around with some guitar skills? Never ever heared something stupid like this. Perhaps the content might be "good friends are important", obviously every blockhead knows that. Rlly not interested to watch this stuff anymore.

Baka To Test- characters are too stereotypical, and while the males are tolerable because they can be funny, the females are terrible. I also don't like how the second season is just the same as the first season, only with less battles and more female-on-male abuse.
All Makoto Shinkai movies- his characters never show any excitement and have virtually no personality whatsoever, hence the story kind of suffers. Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad- It's not a bad anime, but like Eureka Seven, it takes too long to get good. It also has that cliche of the guy who torments the main protagonist being extremely good at the one thing the main is trying to be good at, the tormentor being the toughest guy in school, and him singling out the main character for weak reasons. I am sick to death of that cliche. And don't get me started on that other jackass that arrives after the bully. Boring character. Why was he in the show? Sola- I can't get past the fact that the male protagonist is bland and useless. Hell Girl- If the story had been about Ai and her servants, I would have liked it. Second season came close, but no dice. Kanon- I liked it when I first saw it, but after rewatches, the only arc I liked was Mai's arc. Yuuichi is entertaining, but the show was never about him. It was all about the girls.

In my opinion, it's too hyped. The anime itself is boring and every character either looks stoned or post-head->wall'd (read: head -> wall -> camera).

So far there've been quite a few REALLY popular series which I just...don't like that much.
- Bakemonogatari: Perhaps it's because I'm generally not a fan of SHAFT's animation style, but my interest in the series decreased exponentially after the Kanbaru episodes. Some stories had interesting premises, e.g. why Hachikuji couldn't find her home or why Senjougahara was so light but I simply disliked the execution and couldn't help but to notice the harem element (I don't like the genre very much). I was disturbed by the way Araragi molested Hachikuji and while I have nothing against cute girls like Sengoku, I disliked her fanservice moments. Araragi also seemed like a pretty forgettable main character. In the end, the best thing about Bakemonogatari was its VA cast (Horie, Sakurai, Hanazawa, Saito, Kato, Sawashiro, Kamiya, Hirano...heck, they're all among my favorites) - AnoHana: It tried to be emotionally demanding, alright. And I know a lot of people bawled their eyes out. But the series felt like a one-trick-pony to me. 12 episodes about how A and B like C who's dead and how D likes B and E likes A and how B sort of has a thing for E and how D dislikes E for that. It was a love drama and a very unrealistic, repetitive one on top of that with close to zero character development/depth (apart from the character's romantic entanglements). I was hoping for some heartwarming friendship but got jealousy fit after jealousy fit until finally episode 12 made a miraculous turn with a melodramatic crying session. The series could've been so much better. Didn't hate it (thought it was an average 7/10), but was frustrated about the wasted potential here. - Code Geass: It's been so long since I've watched S1 and half of S2...but Code Geass never really piqued my interest. I seriously don't know why. - Same goes for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. - Utena: People say it's DEEP and full with SYMBOLISM. Maybe it is too deep for me. Then again, I don't have the nerves and time to think about every single strange-looking object in the series. After 32 episodes (and most of them were really boring, it's like one duel every episode with recycled animation), I doubt I will ever come to like it, I'm too distracted by the incest (Nanami, Kozue, and AKIO) and how Touga, Akio and Saionji keep showing off their sex-appeal (which bounced right off me) while sitting in the car with their shirts open. The outdated art doesn't really improve the overall impression I got. - K-On: It was okay for me (average 7/10) but I don't get why people treat it like the best SoL ever and stamp every other series about 4 cute girls in a club as a K-On ripoff. It's nice, but not overly original, sometimes entertaining but not hilarious. I think I would choose Hidamari Sketch (which managed to stay free from maid cosplay/cat ear fantasies and has a totally different feel to it) over K-On any time.

So yeah, visually, it's nice, you could say stunning. When it comes to plot, characters, and relationships, there are much better shoujo series out there, imho. Especially the relationships. Nothing felt "real" in this show, imho. The yuri stuff feels incredibly forced. The incest feels incredibly forced. The STRAIGHT romance too, feels incredibly forced. The characters feel too much like storybook characters as well. I simply can't connect with them that much.

The guy is a jerk, but he doesn't tend to be emotionally abusive except for sometimes during the early episodes where they're just high school kids (The show spans about 15 years or so). He's mostly just... I dunno, emotionally vacant, distant, and neglectful. Irie's a pretty likely candidate for depression and has some intimacy issues. The heroine feels unappreciated sometimes because her husband is pretty cold and distant, wheras she is the complete opposite of that, but it's not like Irie beats her or is particularly mean to her. And I think the show does a great job with his character development. He matures and stabilizes into a very warm, charming, loving person, but it's a long, bumpy, frustrating road with plenty of regressions along the way. Very true to real life, where changing yourself for the better (While completely possible) isn't always as easy or instantaneous as it tends to be in anime. If I had a complain about Irie, it would be that he seems perhaps a bit one-dimensional sometimes... Spoiler for Major spoilers for episode 19 or so:
... but yeah, it's a pretty good show overall. |
