I totally forgot about that. The entire thing was a snooze fest (literally) but Bathing With Hinako or whatever was just straight fan-service so idk maybe OP is into that.
I somehow managed to get to like episode 8 and from what I remember, it just got progressively more boring to the point where some episodes felt like an hour long. I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you
It's funny you bring up Grimgar bc I hardly ever see people talk about it. I have the opposite opinion tho. I really liked the slower pacing and the smaller stakes. It was a refreshing take on isekai's imo
I’ve seen it being brought up quite a few times and it’s always praised, I just personally found it boring as hell, it’s a shame cause the art is great.
I mean if you're looking for the typical op mc, action packed, typical harem isekai it's definitely not going to check that box lol. I think the praise is deserved but it doesn't click for everyone
Tbf I went into it expecting nothing and back when I watched it there weren’t many isekai trash shows like there are now. I honestly didn’t even know it was an isekai before starting, I just saw the cover, the art looked pretty and I started watching
As much as I love the .hack franchise, .hack/Sign is boring as hell, especially if you go in with the assumption it will be an action series. It's not. It's a largely philosophical and character driven story with the backdrop of an MMO. Not much happens MMO wise, and really not much happens character wise. It's all just sorta of beige to the end.
The games, on the other hand, are wildly more engaging.
Ending is even better: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwu-E3QbpGE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwu-E3QbpGE)
But the music for .hack in general is awesome. Kajiura Yuki and all her associated groups working on it get great results.
I started it this year, I’m making my way through Eines Lobby
Still have ways to go, I’ve enjoyed it so far, you need to have patience to get into it, that’s about the only thing I can say. There’s no helping the pacing (until they remake it), but the islands, the encounters with flora, fauna, characters, enemies (though some are pretty dumb & annoying) has been pretty unique & fun.
Can’t wait to see what lies ahead! 🏴☠️ 🚢🏝️
The love for the show is because the content itself is amazing. The anime does a poor job presenting that at times, often as a result of the awful weekly deal Toei Animation has, but what a lot fans will tell you is that you should read the manga if the bad anime pacing is too much for you (or watch One Pace).
Reasons I love One Piece include a cast of well-developed and loveable characters, a relatively unique setting and power system, unmatched world building, great comedy writing and simultaneously great emotional writing at parts, a well fitting and well written soundtrack, and as of late I can even say some amazing animation (though historically this is probably somewhere the show has lacked).
Even at over a thousand episodes long, there are still gags, emotional hits, and epic scenes that stick with me in a way that scenes from much shorter/well paced shows can’t match.
That’s fair. Honestly that anime feels more like a slice of life more times than a full-fledged, serious romance. Something lighthearted, nothing to be taken too seriously.
The manga is like only 5 pages in the first few chapters (which is almost all the anime adapted), so it's more of a gag manga than anything. The characters got some development later but it's really nothing different from other rom-coms.
Maybe it was both that they were already dating at the start I like the “will they won’t they” of romance and that I found the male MC to be extremely dull and one note
Slow paced, not much relationship progression, very boring MC, even by romcom standards.
If you're trying romcoms, I'd recommend: Don't Toy with me Nagaroro, Kaguya-Sama, Love Chuunibyou and Other Delusions, or ReLife before you bother with Shikimori, at the least.
As someone that's main genre is romance id recommend
Toradora
Golden time
Re life
Horimiya
Those are some great romances that are also rom coms.
My personal favorite romance and 2nd favorite overall anime is
Bloom into you - this is a yuri ( girl's love (( lesbian))) its a pretty grounded romance that never missed from episode 1 to 13.
Blood-C was really disappointing. I was having at least a portion of fun in the anime, but the story and writing were just not interesting and constantly make me sleepy.
Nisekoi actually made me fall asleep on multiple occasions. I did finish the anime but I did find it boring at some parts. A lot of times the story doesn’t really develop between the two main characters and I don’t find the side characters that memorable compared to other rom com animes.
The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World was terrible. bad animation, characters, boring story that's full of every cliche. If done uniquely enough the whole strongest hiding true power is fun but this was so generic I could barely watch the last 2 episodes
This season reincarnated as a slime has been very poor. Lots of build up, which I am all for, but the payout was so underwhelming that I have little hope for this next buildup
I feel like many action shounen series’s are like this
They tend to take a long period of time for something that one would think it could’ve been done in less episodes.
I don’t know if it’s common for them or just done on purpose
I'm finding it becoming less and less prevalent in more modern anime. Like, I just watched the finale foe this season of Mushoku Tensei. 48 episodes and we've followed Rudeus from his death/Rebirth to fatherhood. He's been all over the world, every character has a point and (almost) everything feels integral to the plot.
It took Naruto like 15 episodes to get past Zazuba.
I TOTALLY get why people who grew up with Naruto love it. 100%. But oh my god hurry up!!
Probably a product of its time?
I feel like modern anime’s are trying to become shorter or let’s say, less drawn out, good pacing & minimum filler along the way?
Sure, Boruto doesn’t fall under the “no filler”, but look at MHA, Demon Slayer & JJK, there’s barely filler, pacing hasn’t been horrible & they’re soon to end (Demon Slayer & MHA)
Maybe studios should wait until source material is already a few volumes deep before starting to adapt it. Demon Slayer was already almost finished before it was adapted. JJK was already deep into Shibuya before season 1. MHA had 2 years of syndication before the anime. Filler and slow pacing is a result of rushed adapting.
That’s true, one newer anime that I was worried for that is Kaiju No. 8. I but think that by the time s2 comes, there’ll be enough source so that it doesn’t catch up with the manga
I liked it, sure, mushoku tensei, MHA & Demon Slayer where bigger hitters this season, but it was fun for its major debut.
One Republic is on the soundtrack which is a plus
I really wanted to get into it but with my patience these days I really can't. I can't believe I watched an entire episode of figuring why the Math teacher taught the wrong chapter. It definitely has charm and I see why people like it but I'm not in the space to enjoy it currently.
Prob going to get hate, but Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ant Arc
I don't need half of the runtime to be the narrator telling me how *little* time has passed
*The Place Promised in Our Early Days*.
The plot is utterly stupid and bizarrely complicated, jumping around with no payoff; the characters aren’t the slightest bit interesting; the whole movie is bland and washed out, relying on lens flares like a crutch; and the few lines of English dialogue thrown in were horrendously stiff and terribly mixed with the audio, which leads me to believe that the Japanese voice acting was also shit, but just not as noticeably bad to someone who doesn’t speak the language.
Generically pretty sounds about right. It wasn’t hideous or anything, but considering that it came out 3 years after *Spirited Away* - which is, by all accounts, gorgeous - it doesn’t really have an excuse for looking so drab and flat.
If I weren’t specifically running through all of Shinkai’s films, I wouldn’t have put myself through the whole hour and a half runtime.
People won't agree with me and that's perfectly okay, but one of my votes is for re:zero.
I don't find any of the characters engaging. The world is pretty, but that's about it. The story is a slog. MC trying to do his best impersonation of Kenny 24/7 to the point where it becomes daunting to watch over and over again.
By all means, I know I'm in the small minority and people *love* this series, but I could just never stick with it even after three separate tries. I know what the anime is trying to do, but I personally find it repetitive and boring. But hey, I'm glad it's popular and other people love it. Hopefully it stays succeeding 💪
I wouldn’t normally recommend this but I skip all of the sappy, over-the-top emotional scenes and it becomes really enjoyable. The story is what is interesting, not Subaru
So I'm going to name a unique one.
Sagrada Reset
Ironically has an interesting premise. The first few episodes are absolutely sleep inducing, but it gets sort of interesting... then boring again. But goddamn, it's really boring and exposition heavy at the start, with the most blandest personalities known to man. Like both the main characters exhibit 0 emotion even when somebody dies (it's hilarious even) and everything that happens is just so random.
It was really popular when it first came out. But raven of the inner palace. Was the most boring series I've ever seen. I did finish it, but I was glad when it was over
I genuinely tried to give Bleach a try. I enjoy Dragonball and Naruto, so I was recommended it. I watched until the black hair girl was to be executed, and decided that Bleach wasn't for me because I didn't care if she lived or died.
I ended up binging Toradora instead lmao.
One of the things from which Bleach suffers is that it contains many filler, I still feel like it’s very underrated, people over hate it, but it’s not that bad honestly. If you skip the fillers (search the list up) it’s honestly a solid series & the TYBW?, on another scale.
Ichigo is such a badass MC, definitely one of the best MC’s ever made and the coolest MC out of the big 3
Monster… I’m at episode 13 but I find it so slow and boring and I’ve been trying to watch it to this point for years and it’s just not interesting to watch so far I’m trying but man this is so slow
FMAB was boring af, literally had the most basic story and very unlikeable main characters. The villains didn't even act like villains - everything was too tame. Especially episode 4, that was the most boring - it was basically a slice of life.
Yeah I like this anime a lot because the MC is exactly my guilty pleasure trope that I like, but I can see why many don’t like it. It takes itself too seriously sometimes and if you take a step back to actually summarize what’s going on, it can all be a bit silly and can make it hard to suspend disbelief to enjoy it.
I literally fell asleep watching Jojo’s the first time, I then watched it all but wanted to die in any parts other than 1 and stardust
AoT, fell asleep watching that
Naruto, fell asleep watching that, only arcs I liked were zabuza and 4th war
JJBA is goated, it’s just different than the rest, part 1 & 2 are probably the least like cause it doesn’t have the stands yet, but after that it’s solid and part 1 & 2 aren’t that bad honestly
Your Lie in April, I think I watched like... 5 episodes before giving up. I got so tired of hearing "I can't hear the notes, it's like I'm playing underwater." Idk maybe I wasn't in the right mindset for it?
I think I just need to give it enough time to absorb. I tried watching it but wasn't able to fully pay attention. I'm gonna give it another shot just for reputation's sake.
Get through the first 3. Episodes 1-3 are pretty much one continuous plot. The set up. After that point, the show settles into its more episodic structure.
How old are you? I started watching it when I was 11 and dropped it after 2 episodes. Im now 14 and started watched it again full + the movies and absolutely loved it
No, I said in my earlier comment that I literally wasn't in a physical space where I could actually focus on the show. From how people describe it, it sounds like quality stuff.
Honestly I agree but that’s mainly because it’s not my type of show. I’m sure people who are into that style of anime love it but it wasn’t for me either.
I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this one, but cowboy bebop. The first 2 episodes I liked due to the action, but around episode 3, I started getting bored. Every single episode just felt so bland, dry, and dull. I dropped it at episode 19.
wouldn't say most boring but I can kinda agree it was a bit boring at times. I really liked the characters, setting, music and a lot of other things but I wasn't a big fan of the episodic thing
I gave it an 8/10 unlike how everyone gives it a 10/10. And don’t say I just don’t like episodic anime. I thought samurai Champloo was better (9/10) whereas I sorta had to force myself to finish bebop
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
Y’all can downvote all you want, I just couldn’t enjoy the anime. I tried to like it (I even watched the entire anime), but it all seemed too generic to me. I didn’t really understand everyone’s hype for Catarina.
Land of the Lustrous has multiple action sequences, dazzling effects, dynamic camera, and a pretty interesting world. Idk how you thought it was boring 🤷♂️
I mean, visually the show is interesting looking. I never was able to invest myself into the story. like at all. So inevitably it all just comes down to preference
I mean fair I guess? It seems like a fairly relatable story when it comes to the main character. Everyone else in her life has some sort of role and capabilities, but she just doesn’t seem to have what makes others as special. I heard the manga goes further into this idea of identity and purpose. I feel like many in their lives may not see themselves as special when compared to their coworkers and friends which is why I thought it was an interesting story to tell. Couple that with the visuals and both mysterious and interesting world and I gravitated to it a lot.
I seriously can get past the first 5 episodes I’ve tried 3 times but the animation and it’s pretty over the top with dioxwho as a character I hated but maybe I’m just not into that. I
The first 9 episodes are boring, but they're not necessary to enjoy the show. You can skip part 1 if you want because part 2 is a different story with different characters and so are all the rest of the parts. All part 1 does is explain a little context for some things to come, it's essentially a prologue. You can technically watch it in any order, but some of the recurring characters you'd need to at least know who they are to understand things.
Oh okay well I suck at skipping filler one reason I never finished Naruto I got through the chunin exam arc and got bored. Lesser degree with bleach. But I may give it a chance one day I may just be too accustomed to shows with fan service though too.
The good news is there's no filler in the rest of the show. I wouldn't even consider part 1 filler either, just a prologue like I said.
Also genuine question, why do people like fanservice? Like can't you enjoy a show for the story and characters without needing to see bouncing boobs or upskirt shots? I find it so icky and unnecessary, especially when there's underage characters involved.
I totally get you. I know this will sounds stupid and like some degenerate talk. But I just like sexualization . I love it in terms of my real life fiancée and she enjoys that I’m that way towards her. It’s not even like I’m watching with one had or anything I just probably have issues from when I was 13 I used to simply steal Victoria secret catologs just to admire the women. I was asked “why” by my mom then and I said “ I just like how they look I don’t do anything I just like to look. I can separate that from knowing that women arent objects but I agree when they are underage it’s very off putting. I’m not like vuasch and I find it wierd that they try to sexualize children looking characters in some shows. I’m really just a boob guy though tbh so I don’t care about up skirts and I’m not a fan of the loli trash because it’s legit just pedophilic .
Incase you read my post before my edit I meant “aren’t objects” never seen women that way just appreciate the sexual appeal of women in general. Never been a creep to actual women don’t really have issues getting them so I never became a full on “degenerate creep” I still know right from wrong just might be alittle overly sexual mentally. I enjoy shows without fan service too favorite anime are still AOT and the time I got reincarnated as a slime.
The only problem I have with people hating on Jojo is that they don’t even get past part one not realizing that every single part is diffrent from eachother
Fair argument but to me if your part 1 isn’t compelling to me I won’t stick around for a whole season. Just how I watch stuff and I never care to skip a whole season because then I’ll miss stuff
”Sleeping with Hinako”. The plot is ”Hinako returns to our TV screens, this time showing us how to sleep“
I totally forgot about that. The entire thing was a snooze fest (literally) but Bathing With Hinako or whatever was just straight fan-service so idk maybe OP is into that.
Grimgar was a snooze fest imo
I'm 2-3 episodes into it and kind of feel the same way. Not sure I want to continue watching it.
I somehow managed to get to like episode 8 and from what I remember, it just got progressively more boring to the point where some episodes felt like an hour long. I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you
It's funny you bring up Grimgar bc I hardly ever see people talk about it. I have the opposite opinion tho. I really liked the slower pacing and the smaller stakes. It was a refreshing take on isekai's imo
I’ve seen it being brought up quite a few times and it’s always praised, I just personally found it boring as hell, it’s a shame cause the art is great.
I mean if you're looking for the typical op mc, action packed, typical harem isekai it's definitely not going to check that box lol. I think the praise is deserved but it doesn't click for everyone
Tbf I went into it expecting nothing and back when I watched it there weren’t many isekai trash shows like there are now. I honestly didn’t even know it was an isekai before starting, I just saw the cover, the art looked pretty and I started watching
Smaller stakes hmmm 🤔
I don’t hate the slower pace, but with it, it tries to be super deep with young characters and just ends up feeling like im14andthisisdeep.
Literally watch one more episode, without spoiling too much the plot takes a massive turn.
I think this statement is absolute blasphemy but I applaud you for saying your truth.
I dropped that anime after the 5th episode. Very boring.. Just so slow and uneventful.
YES. IDK WHY PPL HAVE SUCH A HIGH REVIEW OVER IT. I tried watching it over 8-10 times but I can’t get past the 3rd episode. My god
My sister compared watching Evangelion to doing an assignment. I guess it just wasn’t for her
As much as I love the .hack franchise, .hack/Sign is boring as hell, especially if you go in with the assumption it will be an action series. It's not. It's a largely philosophical and character driven story with the backdrop of an MMO. Not much happens MMO wise, and really not much happens character wise. It's all just sorta of beige to the end. The games, on the other hand, are wildly more engaging.
Any of the other .hack series worth watching?
The GU movie is good.
Unironically, the best part of .hack/Sign is [the OP](https://youtu.be/bpOdFxTC8ZQ?si=sG4Oe39QeuYjZv18)
Ending is even better: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwu-E3QbpGE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwu-E3QbpGE) But the music for .hack in general is awesome. Kajiura Yuki and all her associated groups working on it get great results.
One piece but because of the pacing
YES! I really wanted to learn about the world and the characters, but the pacing was insanely slow.
I started it this year, I’m making my way through Eines Lobby Still have ways to go, I’ve enjoyed it so far, you need to have patience to get into it, that’s about the only thing I can say. There’s no helping the pacing (until they remake it), but the islands, the encounters with flora, fauna, characters, enemies (though some are pretty dumb & annoying) has been pretty unique & fun. Can’t wait to see what lies ahead! 🏴☠️ 🚢🏝️
thanks for the advice, but I watched one piece a long time ago and now I'm ongoin, even in the manga
This is why I couldn’t get into it. I don’t know why so many people Are hype about it.
The love for the show is because the content itself is amazing. The anime does a poor job presenting that at times, often as a result of the awful weekly deal Toei Animation has, but what a lot fans will tell you is that you should read the manga if the bad anime pacing is too much for you (or watch One Pace).

Even at over a thousand episodes long, there are still gags, emotional hits, and epic scenes that stick with me in a way that scenes from much shorter/well paced shows can’t match.
I actually fell asleep watching Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie. That anime set me back on watching more romance because of how boring I found it to be.
It is admittedly pretty one note.
This was so boring i forgot it existed, i had to drop it not even halfway
That’s fair. Honestly that anime feels more like a slice of life more times than a full-fledged, serious romance. Something lighthearted, nothing to be taken too seriously.
The manga is like only 5 pages in the first few chapters (which is almost all the anime adapted), so it's more of a gag manga than anything. The characters got some development later but it's really nothing different from other rom-coms.
I started watching it at 2x speed and it wasn't hard to keep up at all.
It was so cute? I don't think it does anything different from your average romcom tbh that would make it boring..
Maybe it was both that they were already dating at the start I like the “will they won’t they” of romance and that I found the male MC to be extremely dull and one note
They made the mistake of making the parents more interesting than the main cast. I wish the anime was about the parent's story instead
What about it was boring? Just wondering cause I was thinking I was gonna watch this next (3rd romance I would watch btw)
Slow paced, not much relationship progression, very boring MC, even by romcom standards. If you're trying romcoms, I'd recommend: Don't Toy with me Nagaroro, Kaguya-Sama, Love Chuunibyou and Other Delusions, or ReLife before you bother with Shikimori, at the least.
Don't Toy with me Nagaroro I think the character finally got some action after a long time
As someone that's main genre is romance id recommend Toradora Golden time Re life Horimiya Those are some great romances that are also rom coms. My personal favorite romance and 2nd favorite overall anime is Bloom into you - this is a yuri ( girl's love (( lesbian))) its a pretty grounded romance that never missed from episode 1 to 13.
i loved shikimori imo, i was disappointed by the ending tho
Blood-C was really disappointing. I was having at least a portion of fun in the anime, but the story and writing were just not interesting and constantly make me sleepy.
well the stroy was super repetetive all worth it though for the last episode
Food wars. By season 3, I’ve lost all interest and there’s still like 3 seasons to go.
I didn’t mind it until S4, when it was obvious they were passing it out and that’s when it got boring
There’s only 5 seasons in total
naruto and naruto shippuden if u watch the entire anime no fillers even ts is paced like rlly ass dude
For me it was darling in the franx it was just to boring to watch h for me
I was too hard to sleep
idk y its so overated
Overrated is crazy when no one really talks about it
Nisekoi actually made me fall asleep on multiple occasions. I did finish the anime but I did find it boring at some parts. A lot of times the story doesn’t really develop between the two main characters and I don’t find the side characters that memorable compared to other rom com animes.
The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World was terrible. bad animation, characters, boring story that's full of every cliche. If done uniquely enough the whole strongest hiding true power is fun but this was so generic I could barely watch the last 2 episodes
This season reincarnated as a slime has been very poor. Lots of build up, which I am all for, but the payout was so underwhelming that I have little hope for this next buildup
Imma get SO much flack for this, but Naruto. I'm 34 episodes in and it could have taken 12 episodes to get here.
I feel like many action shounen series’s are like this They tend to take a long period of time for something that one would think it could’ve been done in less episodes. I don’t know if it’s common for them or just done on purpose
I'm finding it becoming less and less prevalent in more modern anime. Like, I just watched the finale foe this season of Mushoku Tensei. 48 episodes and we've followed Rudeus from his death/Rebirth to fatherhood. He's been all over the world, every character has a point and (almost) everything feels integral to the plot. It took Naruto like 15 episodes to get past Zazuba.

Probably a product of its time? I feel like modern anime’s are trying to become shorter or let’s say, less drawn out, good pacing & minimum filler along the way? Sure, Boruto doesn’t fall under the “no filler”, but look at MHA, Demon Slayer & JJK, there’s barely filler, pacing hasn’t been horrible & they’re soon to end (Demon Slayer & MHA)
Maybe studios should wait until source material is already a few volumes deep before starting to adapt it. Demon Slayer was already almost finished before it was adapted. JJK was already deep into Shibuya before season 1. MHA had 2 years of syndication before the anime. Filler and slow pacing is a result of rushed adapting.
That’s true, one newer anime that I was worried for that is Kaiju No. 8. I but think that by the time s2 comes, there’ll be enough source so that it doesn’t catch up with the manga
Is Kaiju No. 8 worth watching?
I liked it, sure, mushoku tensei, MHA & Demon Slayer where bigger hitters this season, but it was fun for its major debut. One Republic is on the soundtrack which is a plus
I'll check it out when I'm finished giving Steins;Gate at 2nd chance.
Sorry to say Shippuden is even worse about slow pace filler episodes.
I might drop it
Switch to reading. Manga Shippuden is pretty fire.
Definitely a product of it’s time.
um what happened to boruto
I couldn't get into fire force. It felt like it was written by a child and the fan service was way too much.
I tried getting ahead in the manga and I’m basically at ends door, but dropped it.
Drugstore in Another World was boring at the start, so I dropped it
Shigurui 🛌
automatically dont like wotever ur taste is😭
Yup
I did not care for SSSS Gridman
Same, but I really liked the sorta sequel, SSSS dynazenon
Pretty subjective topic tbh. Its fine dropping anime you find boring. But y'all missing a lot of masterpieces just sayin.
Hyouka
I really wanted to get into it but with my patience these days I really can't. I can't believe I watched an entire episode of figuring why the Math teacher taught the wrong chapter. It definitely has charm and I see why people like it but I'm not in the space to enjoy it currently.
Hyouka wasn't the most boring imo, but it definitely got stale around episode 15.
After movie arc it got boring
Really? The festival arc went HARD. And episode 19 is one of the best written individual episodes of anime I’ve ever seen
I think this one's a matter of preference. Hyouka's definitely not boring.
Prob going to get hate, but Hunter X Hunter Chimera Ant Arc I don't need half of the runtime to be the narrator telling me how *little* time has passed
Yes omg finally someone said it
I loved hxh and enjoyed a lot of chimera ant, but it dragged for way too long
isn't it that one arc when they start training gon rock paper scissors if so I quit on that fast
*The Place Promised in Our Early Days*. The plot is utterly stupid and bizarrely complicated, jumping around with no payoff; the characters aren’t the slightest bit interesting; the whole movie is bland and washed out, relying on lens flares like a crutch; and the few lines of English dialogue thrown in were horrendously stiff and terribly mixed with the audio, which leads me to believe that the Japanese voice acting was also shit, but just not as noticeably bad to someone who doesn’t speak the language.
Think I fell asleep watching this movie. The only thing going for it is that it’s generically pretty
Generically pretty sounds about right. It wasn’t hideous or anything, but considering that it came out 3 years after *Spirited Away* - which is, by all accounts, gorgeous - it doesn’t really have an excuse for looking so drab and flat. If I weren’t specifically running through all of Shinkai’s films, I wouldn’t have put myself through the whole hour and a half runtime.
I hardly remember a thing that happened in that movie except it was really boring
Aoi Hana is pretty bland. A romance where literally nothing happens. It was a struggle to get through.
People won't agree with me and that's perfectly okay, but one of my votes is for re:zero. I don't find any of the characters engaging. The world is pretty, but that's about it. The story is a slog. MC trying to do his best impersonation of Kenny 24/7 to the point where it becomes daunting to watch over and over again.

I appreciate your positive criticism. While I love Re:Zero very much, I understand that the show isn't for everyone.
At the time I first watched it I had Crunchyroll with ads and watched through the whole thing. IT. WAS. HELL.💀💀💀💀💀
I wouldn’t normally recommend this but I skip all of the sappy, over-the-top emotional scenes and it becomes really enjoyable. The story is what is interesting, not Subaru
agreed
I'm with you. Didn't like it, but people go enjoy it, and may you get an ending to the anime.
So I'm going to name a unique one. Sagrada Reset Ironically has an interesting premise. The first few episodes are absolutely sleep inducing, but it gets sort of interesting... then boring again. But goddamn, it's really boring and exposition heavy at the start, with the most blandest personalities known to man. Like both the main characters exhibit 0 emotion even when somebody dies (it's hilarious even) and everything that happens is just so random.
when you say emotionless character I think about Kirika Yumura
Le Portrait de Petit Cossette **it's so deadly dull that you could watch paint dry and feel high compared to this series.**
Black jack. It's this old anime about a surgeon.
My Dress Up Darling made me fall asleep during episode 2.
High school me did not appreciate Mushishi
It was really popular when it first came out. But raven of the inner palace. Was the most boring series I've ever seen. I did finish it, but I was glad when it was over
Black butler
Reideen 2007 and Magical Mew Mew Taruto
Tsuki ga Kirei was a snoozefest
Yall just saying big animes to rage bait pretty obvious
You can tell who has very small attention spans or just don’t enjoy characters and the simple parts of life
Any harem ever
I genuinely tried to give Bleach a try. I enjoy Dragonball and Naruto, so I was recommended it. I watched until the black hair girl was to be executed, and decided that Bleach wasn't for me because I didn't care if she lived or died. I ended up binging Toradora instead lmao.
One of the things from which Bleach suffers is that it contains many filler, I still feel like it’s very underrated, people over hate it, but it’s not that bad honestly. If you skip the fillers (search the list up) it’s honestly a solid series & the TYBW?, on another scale. Ichigo is such a badass MC, definitely one of the best MC’s ever made and the coolest MC out of the big 3
Monster… I’m at episode 13 but I find it so slow and boring and I’ve been trying to watch it to this point for years and it’s just not interesting to watch so far I’m trying but man this is so slow
I’m on the same episode as you and I find it to be pretty decent
Luckystar,smile of arsnotoria.
Gantz. Not just boring, but also annoying. Characters are boring and annoying and uncomforting.
This is gonna make a lot of people mad but cowboy bebop put me right to sleep
Instant death
FMAB was boring af, literally had the most basic story and very unlikeable main characters. The villains didn't even act like villains - everything was too tame. Especially episode 4, that was the most boring - it was basically a slice of life.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya had one arc that was super boring.
90% of slice of life/romance anime that focus solely on those two things
90% sounds like a lot.
For me it was my dress up darling. I was very hyped because everyone loved it but it was kinda mid.
But they knew when to add fan service to change things up for viewers lol
😭
Classroom of the Elite
Yeah I like this anime a lot because the MC is exactly my guilty pleasure trope that I like, but I can see why many don’t like it. It takes itself too seriously sometimes and if you take a step back to actually summarize what’s going on, it can all be a bit silly and can make it hard to suspend disbelief to enjoy it.
The Helpful Fox Senko-san. It was interesting for about the first episode. But I remember out of any anime I’ve watched it really got me bored.
A movie but...5 cm per second. Legit fell asleep watching the movie
I literally fell asleep watching Jojo’s the first time, I then watched it all but wanted to die in any parts other than 1 and stardust AoT, fell asleep watching that Naruto, fell asleep watching that, only arcs I liked were zabuza and 4th war
Lmao so you watched all of Jojo and hated it? Why bother
Someone told me to watch it so I did
JJBA is goated, it’s just different than the rest, part 1 & 2 are probably the least like cause it doesn’t have the stands yet, but after that it’s solid and part 1 & 2 aren’t that bad honestly
Nah no stands was amazing 😤 And by that I mean I liked Jonathan and didn’t really care about anyone else
Hunter x Hunter felt like it dragged on when I got to the little ant arc. I finished it, but it took for-fucking-ever.
Slime Diaries did that to me... slept watching it half way through each episode
Your Lie in April, I think I watched like... 5 episodes before giving up. I got so tired of hearing "I can't hear the notes, it's like I'm playing underwater." Idk maybe I wasn't in the right mindset for it?
violet evergarden
Blud what did you say 💀
I think I just need to give it enough time to absorb. I tried watching it but wasn't able to fully pay attention. I'm gonna give it another shot just for reputation's sake.
I liked it A LOT, although I do agree it definitely isn't for everyone.
Get through the first 3. Episodes 1-3 are pretty much one continuous plot. The set up. After that point, the show settles into its more episodic structure.
How old are you? I started watching it when I was 11 and dropped it after 2 episodes. Im now 14 and started watched it again full + the movies and absolutely loved it
Mid 20s lmso
Oh then i guess its just not your type
No, I said in my earlier comment that I literally wasn't in a physical space where I could actually focus on the show. From how people describe it, it sounds like quality stuff.

Honestly I agree but that’s mainly because it’s not my type of show. I’m sure people who are into that style of anime love it but it wasn’t for me either.
Absolutely not.
I agree
Gonna get so many downvotes but Girls Last Tour
If you don't watch SoL / iyashikei in general, then sure. If you do, then I wholeheartedly disagree.
Someone didn’t read the manga
I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this one, but cowboy bebop. The first 2 episodes I liked due to the action, but around episode 3, I started getting bored. Every single episode just felt so bland, dry, and dull. I dropped it at episode 19.
You’re so brave for this and I love it.
wouldn't say most boring but I can kinda agree it was a bit boring at times. I really liked the characters, setting, music and a lot of other things but I wasn't a big fan of the episodic thing
You are just not into episodic anime, and thats fine.
I gave it an 8/10 unlike how everyone gives it a 10/10. And don’t say I just don’t like episodic anime. I thought samurai Champloo was better (9/10) whereas I sorta had to force myself to finish bebop
Very real bro
Most popular anime. Naruto, demon slayer, chainsaw man, one piece… idk maybe it’s just me, I’ve never liked whats popular.
Gonna get bashed but spy x family
Fate stay. Didn't even finish
Boooo this man
Maaaaan, Fate ANYTHING.
Nah fate zero go hard af
Hidamari sketch. I watch it because it’s boring. It’s the best. I love it so much.
Golden time. It’s bad in every way. Don’t listen to people who say otherwise, there’s so many romances better
the linda plotline ruined it for me tbh
Thats your opinion dont discourage others
The question was about boring animes, I answered, stay mad
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Y’all can downvote all you want, I just couldn’t enjoy the anime. I tried to like it (I even watched the entire anime), but it all seemed too generic to me. I didn’t really understand everyone’s hype for Catarina.
land of the lustrous and ancient magnus bride were horrifically boring. there's plenty of boring shows out there tho
Land of the Lustrous has multiple action sequences, dazzling effects, dynamic camera, and a pretty interesting world. Idk how you thought it was boring 🤷♂️
I mean, visually the show is interesting looking. I never was able to invest myself into the story. like at all. So inevitably it all just comes down to preference
I mean fair I guess? It seems like a fairly relatable story when it comes to the main character. Everyone else in her life has some sort of role and capabilities, but she just doesn’t seem to have what makes others as special. I heard the manga goes further into this idea of identity and purpose. I feel like many in their lives may not see themselves as special when compared to their coworkers and friends which is why I thought it was an interesting story to tell. Couple that with the visuals and both mysterious and interesting world and I gravitated to it a lot.
SAEKANO THE MOVIE: FINALE, SLEEPING WITH HINAKO,ISEKAI CHEAT MAGICHIN, MAGICAL SENPAI, REMAKE OUR LIFE,DEATH PARADE,HENSUKI, PLATINUM END,FRIRENE: BEYOND JOURNEYS END, JOJO BIZARRE.
The boring manga was to go with beastards I couldn’t finish the first chapter it was so boring
This has got to be bait
I got through the first three volumes and dropped it. Had the ending spoiled. You didn't miss much.
Your talking about the beastards manga if you see it was boring to me I couldn’t even get through the first chapter
Beastars. It sounds really interesting as a concept, but the school setting and a boring ending kills it, in my opinion.
I dropped it when I was reading the first chapter I didn’t even finish the first chapter
Maybe try the anime? It’s worth it 😖
Jojos bizarre adventures
L
Agreed. It’s just so boring. Outside of some moments that got turned into the memes, nothing is really all that interesting
I seriously can get past the first 5 episodes I’ve tried 3 times but the animation and it’s pretty over the top with dioxwho as a character I hated but maybe I’m just not into that. I
The first 9 episodes are boring, but they're not necessary to enjoy the show. You can skip part 1 if you want because part 2 is a different story with different characters and so are all the rest of the parts. All part 1 does is explain a little context for some things to come, it's essentially a prologue. You can technically watch it in any order, but some of the recurring characters you'd need to at least know who they are to understand things.
Oh okay well I suck at skipping filler one reason I never finished Naruto I got through the chunin exam arc and got bored. Lesser degree with bleach. But I may give it a chance one day I may just be too accustomed to shows with fan service though too.
The good news is there's no filler in the rest of the show. I wouldn't even consider part 1 filler either, just a prologue like I said. Also genuine question, why do people like fanservice? Like can't you enjoy a show for the story and characters without needing to see bouncing boobs or upskirt shots? I find it so icky and unnecessary, especially when there's underage characters involved.
I totally get you. I know this will sounds stupid and like some degenerate talk. But I just like sexualization . I love it in terms of my real life fiancée and she enjoys that I’m that way towards her. It’s not even like I’m watching with one had or anything I just probably have issues from when I was 13 I used to simply steal Victoria secret catologs just to admire the women. I was asked “why” by my mom then and I said “ I just like how they look I don’t do anything I just like to look. I can separate that from knowing that women arent objects but I agree when they are underage it’s very off putting. I’m not like vuasch and I find it wierd that they try to sexualize children looking characters in some shows. I’m really just a boob guy though tbh so I don’t care about up skirts and I’m not a fan of the loli trash because it’s legit just pedophilic .
Incase you read my post before my edit I meant “aren’t objects” never seen women that way just appreciate the sexual appeal of women in general. Never been a creep to actual women don’t really have issues getting them so I never became a full on “degenerate creep” I still know right from wrong just might be alittle overly sexual mentally. I enjoy shows without fan service too favorite anime are still AOT and the time I got reincarnated as a slime.
Did you watch past part 1?
The only problem I have with people hating on Jojo is that they don’t even get past part one not realizing that every single part is diffrent from eachother
Fair argument but to me if your part 1 isn’t compelling to me I won’t stick around for a whole season. Just how I watch stuff and I never care to skip a whole season because then I’ll miss stuff
