Underrated anime series or overrated

<< < (7/12) > >>

I guess it's my turn to stir up the shit pot.

Over-rated:

Lupin the 3rd.
I never found this show funny in the slightist. I never will understand why this is considered so good. I guess the "classic" label makes it so.

Bleach
It should have ended after they saved Rukia. Everything after that has been more of a DBZ style fight! fight! fight! thing. There seems to be very little story anymore and what is story sucks.

School Rumble
While funny at times, it was a little too... well... ridiculous. I get how some people would like that but the anime didn't really seem to be great. Great as in anyone could put it on and watch it for what it is. I felt the manga was much, much better.

Love Hina
Really not that wonderful. Tenchi-ish but not quite the same.

Ah! My Goddess
It just didn't do it for me. I didn't find it all that funny.

Death Note
EEEEEeEEEEEEemmoooo oooooo to the extreme. Not my cup of tea. I feel it's directed to a select, small group of individuals and it should probably stay with them.

Underrated Anime:

The Familiar of Zero seasons/series'
All of them were fantastic. Chickish but still had enough regular comedy to be a great watch.

Mahou Sensei Negima
It was happy, it was sad. It was all around good. A little much sometimes but then it grounds itself all over again. All you have to do is accept that these kids are WAY too young.

Ranma 1/2
It's only sort've mainstream. Most of my friends I talk to who are casual anime fans haven't heard of it but anyone who is serious about anime has seen at least a little of it. Ran forever and it didn't disappoint (most of the time). Of course, anything running for as long as it did is bound to have some dull spots.

Noir
Just like Ranma, most casual fans have never even heard of it but bigger anime followers have at least seen some of it. Excellent drama series.



Overly Disrespected Animes:

Naruto
You try running a show for years while the manga is still being written with the huge demands that come with its fanbase.

Cowboy BeBop
Fuck you, that's why.

Bebop is aimed at a Western audience, Japanese don't like it much.
And the problem with Naruto is the same as with Bleach, they add fillers and stretch episodes. They did the same with Dragonball Z actually. It just gives them more money, so I say: fuck em.

Some unknown but interesting anime: Photon, Teizokure Daydream, Hitsuji no Uta, Alien 9.
I'd say Kino no Tabi is also quite underrated. Some episodes are really amazing, but the slow pace drives fanboys away.

Hmm one of my favorite shows that I haven't seen many people talk about is Yu Yu Hakusho.  I'm sure a lot of people caught some of it on Cartoon Network back in the day, but the end of the dark tournament and beyond is pretty good IMO.  It doesn't get quite as unnecessarily drawn out as a lot of the fighting shows like Naruto/DBZ/etc but the fights against the big baddie for each season did tend to be quite long.  Maybe it's just nostalgia, I dunno, but I really liked it  :P

if you think it's the best anime ever and then call me names for saying that it's overrated then i think you are

EDIT: someone made a point about calling people fanbois so i edited my post.

I just finished Shion no Ou and am really surprised it didn't get a lot more attention.  Adding it to my underrated list.
