What is the worst part of your favorite anime?

Since my list is so short, I'll do all the shows where I gave at least one season a 10:
Devilman Crybaby - Sometimes that show is just too fucking dark. Not thematically but, like, literally. Can we get some streetlights or something?

Monogatari - The loli-service. I don't personally care all that much but it'd be nice to be able to talk about the show without having Roman Reigns look over my shoulder at all times.

FLCL OG - I mostly gave this a 10 out of "vibes" and that it was such a fun show to watch, I guess I wish the story gripped me more?

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - I wish they gave Rebecca more to do. For such a prominent character in marketing and fanart, she surprisingly doesn't matter that much.

Kaguya-sama - I guess make it funnier? I can't think of anything off the top of my head (although I heard it gets worse after the anime ends)

@Supersonic_Pain Try the dub for Kaguya-sama. I did, it's so much funnier than the Sub version, which is too dry. Both are good, but the English version is a freaking scream.

@Supersonic_Pain this is the first time I've heard anyone say that Kaguya sama isn't funny enough, I wanna ask do you think it has parts of romance or what?

For Gintama, it can very slow but so rewarding once ur able to get through the first 60 eps and onwards. So basically it has pacing problems.

Also, the animation gets noticeably weaker starting with iirc season 5 and it hurts that the ending arc as a movie struggled in production as well, which doesn't give it the best that the staff could accomplish, despite it already being good in general.

As much as I love Violet Evergarden, the second half of this movie I just don't care about.

That kid that ends up working in the post office is basically the only bad character in the series...

@Zarutaku That is a really interesting thing to mention regarding Mushoku Tensei's flaws XD. I have never heard someone complain about that (me included) as compared to some other much more notable flaws that seems almost negligible. Mushoku is my 2nd fav anime and personally the pedo stuff is a much, much bigger detriment.

^Speaking of which, if we're talking about what PERSONALLY bothers me the most about Monogatari, it would be Senjougahara

I feel like her best moments are either before she was Araragi's girlfriend or with someone else like Hanekawa or Kaiki

@DarkFirefly72 That's an important part of his characterization though, Rudeus is supposed to be a controversial character, it's a main reason for MT's success.

If I start talking about those parts of all my favorite anime which I dislike, people will think I am a hater.

Probably episode 7 from Neon Genesis Evangelion, where this robot appears:



Though I didn't dislike it that much, it was the closest thing to a filler episode.

Sometimes, sometimes, SOMETIMES those scenes where everyone is enthralled in shock with Hinata are just a tad bit cringey, more so in the later seasons.

I still don't understand why this gets so much hate. At worst it's too mucha dramatic and over the top.

Maybe because I like the series too much but it's probably the most flawless ones I experienced in Animanga so far.


Also I haven't seen anyone criticize the school trip/Hayaska arc personally. Probably the among best part of 2nd half.

Out of curiosity, have you rewatched it? I rated it 9 based on vibes after the first watch, and upped it to a 10 after a few rewatches. The story is actually pretty good, even if the show just chucks it at you and forgets about it 5 seconds later.

For One Piece, it's that a lot of the arcs just have the same plotline.

The Straw Hats land on an island, they are fascinated by it, there's a corrupt leader who's being a douche so Luffy liberates the island, the Straw Hats leave with a load of food and riches.

The biggest issue with it is that the sequels undermine the original. Dunno if that counts as the type of thing OP is trying to avoid as reasons though.

Otherwise... maybe the fact that it's obtuse enough to encourage a lot of "I'm 12 and this is deep" type of thinking. Though I think that's probably a necessary byproduct of a show not trying to tell you what it's about. Is that too fandom related?

Probably would say that the scenes are often so busy that it can be hard to decipher what is actually happening on screen. This can lead to a lot of misunderstandings about character motivations and actions, like how people sort of assume Naota hits his dad in episode 4, but he does in fact hit the TV which launches an alarm clock off the top of it into the robo-Kamon's head. But the alarm clock launching off the TV is like 2 frames of animation in an extremely fast and kinetic scene, so it's easy to miss and incorrectly fill in the gaps. There are a number of parts of the show that have that kind of issue.
