Anime you love but everyone else hates?

[tedybearsoka]

truthfully an anime i like is (the world god only knows) and its so funny but my sis and a lot of my friends hate it-
im still watching it but its about a guy who made a deal with the devil and now he kind of has to be a playboy because he has to round up lost souls and the only way to do that is to make the person fall in love with him and that's a problem

Regarding what's been said about Hidan no Aria, I happen to quite like it myself.

Though I totally understand the criticism, it's well deserved.

Despite that I don't mind it myself.

I recently finished watching OniAi : it's not really hated in my opinion, but the overdone fake incest concept and jokes can be boring, despite not mind them. The same can be said for Wish Upon the Pleaides and Aoi Sekai no Chushin de, which happens to be the underrated jewels for me. I can't seem to find many flaws for the first despite its extremely short and rushed storyline, but the second was heavily accused for its crude and excessive amount of sexual jokes, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. However, I'm very looking forward to watch more episodes since it hasn't been finished yet.

It's funny. Miyuu's voice for the Indonesian dub is one of the most lively and energetic in the anime . I guess that means the Indonesian voice actress has done a great job. Not only her, but other characters are also dubbed splendidly. No wonder one thing that I enjoy the most from UFO Baby is the (Indonesian) voice acting. I never watched UFO Baby in it's original Japanese track though. So, I have no idea about the original voices of the characters :/

Right now, everyone I know that's an anime fan HATES K and I loved it despite the fact that it's pretty flawed

You're not missin' much.... :/ Ruu-kun's seiyuu is cute but....meh to the rest.

I second that. Not everyone hate on K, but I heard it has a horrid plot. Despite that, I greatly enjoyed it though not as much as Psycho-Pass, my favorite of this season. K is known for its amazing visuals with instagram-levels of beautifully colorful effects and the fight scenes are rather well done. I thought that when watching this, the slow-moving plot was great, but after watching more episodes, I realized that most people are hating on it due to not enough plot and too much dropping plot points. Another major flaw I noticed about the anime is the slightly excessive amount of male emphasis (not counting the pseudo-BL) and the character development is extremely rushed. Even with that, I think it was still enjoyable and I'm happy to see it getting a second season, but what I really want is to fix many problems the first season had.

An anime with slight "male emphasis" is a flaw....

I enjoyed the ride that K took me on. Despite the "flaws" it had I was decently entertained by the series. Yashiro was the only character who slightly bothered me and that was more so in the beginning of the series. Towards the end even he grew on me a little bit, despite his overly calm nature given the situation he was in. I can stand firm when I say I look forward to the second season, regardless of what some of the fandom might say.

And an anime with a slight bias towards female interactions is a flaw? Not on my watch.

As for someone who actually dislike K, let me say this. It wasn't made for someone like me in first place. Yes it's true it also try attract male viewers as well as female ones but at the end the female ones that served best. You know, if you chase two rabbits and you'll lose them both but in K's situation, it decided to chase at least one of them let another go.

However my real issue with K is not lack of decent female characters, too many male ones and plot but rather how Animax-Asia fooled its subscribers, including myself into thinking they going to show a shounen action show but in reality it isn't. It just a reverse harem show without the reverse harem. I just found the Code Breaker( a comparable show) is many times more male-friendly than K despite authored by a woman. Maybe Code Breaker lack of "reverse harem" feel.

K's pseudo-BL is basically two scenes. Unfortunately, both scenes occurred early (at least one in the very first episode) and that scared off some people by giving a wrong early impression.

Really, there's no significant BL to speak of in K.

I'm not sure if I'd say that I love K, but I thought it was pretty good.

I’ve followed and quite enjoyed K. Even so, IMO the series has one fatal flaw (no, not the BL vibe). That flaw is the series goes full throttle without explaining some “rules” of its universe and keep doing so with some occasional stops for flashbacks. If I want to make an analogy, it would be like watching Bleach but goes directly into Soul Society Arc where new characters popping out, conflict ensues, and different powers are shown with audience not knowing where all these come from until it’s to late for them to care. Patient audience like me may still enjoy this series, but many are obviously turned off by it. That’s why many people label this series as “style over substance”.

Time to rattle some sabres: while Endless Eight in The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi isn't an anime per se, it is infamous for being one of the most controversial decisions in the anime community. Having watched it, I conclude that it is amusing to watch for all of the minor differences in the subtle background elements over the course of eight episodes. I also get to laugh about it because I watched Endless Eight long after it ended and thus, knew what to expect in full

I didn't mean any disrespect. Like I said, I'm a K fan, but seriously? The show was badly written and screamed 'LOOK AT ALL THE TROPES WE"LL DO TO ATTRACT FANS' It's dumb as hell, but I've seen much, much worse...and I'm looking forward to season two..and its intitial dvd release from Viz, though Viz will probaly put it out like, five years from now...

I tried Code Breaker but couldn't get into it after two episodes because the characters were just 'ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH'



I also love Space Brothers, but not too many people like that one it seems.

Yeah, I get your point and that's a good analogy.

Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox - despite its flaws I loved it. I had good comedy and some of the best soundtracks.

I really don't understand why so many hate it considering how many crappy fanservice shows are loved =/

[Fuyuno]

Muv-Luv: Total Eclipse

Yes its true the CGI sucks but it was the show's concept, a good combination of sci-fi and violence, much like James Cameron's Aliens. I just can't understand why the guro fans hate this show but they can enjoy Mirai Nikki, Another and Higurashi series except they hate sci-fi.

Love isn't the right word for Sword Art Online although I am adoring it a lot more than I should be. It has major world-building and pacing issues but it's offset by an awesome musical score and fight scenes. I've also got a soft spot for Kirito and Asuna.
