Boku no Pico. Objectively the most overrated hentai ever. It's not even fappable.
>>
>>139325096
Steins;gate
>>
>>139325192
Nah, to be the most overrated, it has to have zero redeeming qualities, yet be praised to absolute high heaven and have people worship the ground it walks on. S;G, while by no means perfect, is a strong 8, and deserves some praise.

My vote goes to Gintama or HunterxHunter. Absolute shlock, both of them, and Reddit/normies can't stop eating all the shit that comes out.
>>
>>139325096
Gintama. Such an unfunny series.

Gurren Lagann, not so good.
Legitimately one of the worst anime I have ever seen.
>>
>>139325780
im going with this one.

gintama fans be like..
-keep watching till ep.20, that's when it gets good
-no, i mean keep watching till ep.40, that's when things get serious
-you can't drop it yet, keep watching till ep.100, or you'll miss out on something great
>>
>>139325780
Only watched the first half, this
Nia was the only character I liked
>>
Yeah, the thing about Gintama is that is 100% for Japanese. It references their pop culture, & previous cultures and those are things only people actually living in Japan will understand. It is a cool premise and the stuff that happens, but it would be quicker to read a summary of events than to listen to all the jokes you don't get.

If we're talking about just sheer popularity it's a contender but if we're talking in terms of acclaim I'd say FLCL is probably the most overrated Anime series.

Steins;Gate is praised as some sort of Sci-fi essential anime when in reality it's just plain boring shit for 50% of the time and plain not so boring shit other 50% of the time.
>>139325770
This, alhout UBW and Heaven's Feel are definitely not as bad as Saber's route, especially in that original adaptation, it's like one of the worst animates shows of all time, even Clannad and Elfen Lied look better than that piece of shit.

It's a fucking wank show. Like I said. It's entertaining, but don't pretend like the fucking fanservice isn't a main factor for it going higher up the ranks. It's not explaining the world at all, no matter how interesting the world its set or the substories might actually be.
>>
>>139326535
>>139326556
I think a lot of people share your opinion, but that's why i believe it's underrated, there's more to it than just what's on the surface, and the more unique approach to directing and storytelling (which to be fair, have got a bit old now) still make it stand out amongst most shows.
>>139326576
I don't think it really has the fanbase as big as say more "normie" anime shows have, and considering how much fanservice potential monogatari has it really should be a more mainstream anime. Basically what >>139326593
said.
>>
>>139326500
SAO, fucking teenfags love the romantic aspect, but I feel like they missed a great oppurtunity to create an pretty decent anime.

Episode 1 was pretty good, then they did that 6 month timeskip bullshit skipping over everything to do with world-building, end of episode 2 was good with the boss fight but then they just skip like 30-40 floors again.

If they remade it, I really hope they go over that aspect and not the shitty love plot in the original.

Normies love Monogatari though. It's not exactly inaccessible as you think.
>>
>>139325096
Shiki or Rainbow.
>>
>>139326664
Well, SAO: Progressive is pretty much that, Aincrad-only.

Though the highest point of SAO is Alicization. Yeah, it's not even that good, but I enjoyed all that world-building and bromance.
>>
>>139326658
It is explaining it, but in a subtle more unique way.
If it was purely wankshow, normalfags would really be way more over it, but the joke is that it is a wankshow and MORE. Which is what normalfags can't comprehend, for them it's either a wank show or an interesting show and that's why monogatari loses it's appeal in the west.
>>139326689
Don't personally know any anime "enthusiasts" that have actually heard of Monogatari.
>>139326664
Episode 1 was really well done, i think the same goes to most Shounen shows, they sort of always dumb down to appeal to the lowest common denominator, losing any artistic creativity in the process, like for example Naruto could have been much better if it didn't go the dragonball route and instead tried to have entertaining strategical fights and jutsus that aren't just massive energy blasts, like that time in the Zabuza arc when Naruto turned into a shuriken to get to zabuza, it was stupid yeah, but entertaining, more of that would have made the show much better.

Mind elaborating? I really enjoy many aspects of Death Note and have never seen mainstream fans overrating it too much, it's about 8/10 as it goes in my book.
>>
>>139326878
Yeah, which automatically makes it garbage.
But in all seriousness the SoL elements weren't even that well done, it was an introduction of the characters which may have been much better introduced in a more relevant to the plot way.

Hunter X Hunter had great character execution. It's appeal is honestly closer to DRRR!! than dragon ball, but since /a/nons go in expecting shonenshit and the shonenshit they get is vanilla, they bash it.

Most of the appeal for me came from the amorphous style of the manga, which is entirely lost in the anime, and so anime-only fags assume it's just "shitty art" because of muh constancy (to be fair, I never read Chimera Ant, so I have no idea how that went over, artistically)
>>
>>139327820

This, aside from the shitty MC and utter lack of worldbuilding it could have been a much better show.

Contrarian spotted.
It's feels porn, and is perfectly executed accordingly. Not a prose masterpiece, but nobody said it was.
Okay, somebody said it was.

Well shit, I should've actually read your post before replying.

>>139328150
In all honesty, if you're not down by Zoldyk (the second arc), you likely won't be down for any of it. But if you didn't get that far, then that's just a lack of base-line effort on your part. All shounenshit is like that.
>inb4 I don't read shounenshit
Yes you fucking do.
>>
>>139326500
I wasted too much time watching Kaiji, they took an interesting premise, but bogged it down with as much narration as there was in the entire Chimera Ant arc of HxH. Kaiji doesn't deserve praise
>>
>>139328150
I like you.

Literally read all of the available manga from start to end, and it was shit. There's literally two good arcs, neither of which are that fetid piece of shit Chimera Ant trash that everyone jacks off over.

Meruem is literally Freeza-Cell and a piece of shit. He deserves no pity. Playing checkers with a blind bitch and blooblooing about how you dindu nuffin after eating your way through a few villages and torturing babbies and shit will not make me suddenly feel sad for you.

None of the series mentioned are like that, go see Pupa, Akame ga Kill, Elfen Lied for actual unwatchable/unreadable bottom of the barrel crap that newshits eat up for unknown reasons.

Dragon Ball Z.
I say this as someone who grew up watching it.
Someone who likes it.
Someone who owns a bunch of the games.
Is it BY FAR the most overrated show.
SAO is popular because younger people think it's innovative (which we all know it's not), but it is still a mostly recent fad.
DBZ on the other hand is ALWAYS going to be a big draw, recognizable, and have some kind of product for better or worse given to us and is always going to known WORLDWIDE.
Even a literal tribesman of the African Wilds can probably tell you what DBZ is.

Meh, it was barely decent IMO (Uninteresting characters, weak plot), but literally every normalfag I know who's just discovered anime thinks it is a masterpiece, and on /a/ it has a pretty solid reputation.

Anyway, I guess it's not that bad for shounen standards (still a 6/10 for me), and this could be just my impression but I feel it gets more praise than it deserve.
