Texhnolyze. It tries too hard but if I criticize it it'll just fall back on being "high art".

As a jojofag, I got into it because it looked interesting. It's sorta weird, but people put this anime/manga up so high even though it's decent.
The anime that I don't understand the appeal of are

>Love Live

>>159656133
its the exact same reason as jojo but with more shit to fap too and a slightly less full on fujoshit fanbase.
>>159656531
It's like just really gay fist of the north star. I feel like im missing out on something
Umasu, what kind of level of irony do you have to be on to actually post about it?

Pretty much.

AOT
Shallow booring characters , action scenes are pretty hit or miss

what a garbage thread

Fujoshi are women, women don't watch Jojo. There is a lot of gay in the fanbase but those are actual gays
>>159656645
>one punch man
I can see why you'd hate it if that's how you see it.
Then again, a lot of people who seem to like it sees it that way too, so I guess I'm kinda stumped.
>>159656017
I will never understand this series' appeal about gay men doing gay poses
>>159657191
It's gay. What else is there to say?
>>159656428
I love this pedo clown.
THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED
>>159656260
How does Texhnolyze try too hard? It's rather simple and straightforward.
>>159656758
THIS...Seriously.
Also, the entire "moe" culture and all of the shows that the generalization encompasses.
>Dragonball past Z or Majin Buu arc
I left DBZ back in my childhood where it belongs and don't get the appeal of new shit like movies and fucking Super same for Naruto
>Fate series
I kinda get that it has historical figures as waifus but I don't get the mass appeal, maybe it's the fights or setting
>TTGL
I don't like mecha cause I find it boring as hell so I guess people like this cause it's not boring? and speaking of Trigger
>Kill La Kill
I don't get how it got as popular as it did
>>159656579
Jojo's is like if you had gay body builders put on drag makeup and act in a spanish telenova.
It's the greatest thing ever
>>159656869
> women don't watch Jojo.
The women you know have shit taste.
The art style is nice but the humor itself doesn't really do anything for me. It's like the punchline to all the jokes are either really Japanese or just over exaggerated facial expressions.
>>159657932
TTGL wasn't made by Trigger, and one of the things that makes TTGL great is because it's enjoyable to people who don't usually like mecha anime.
Kill la kill had a great premise and was pretty over the top, it had flaws but it was pretty enjoyable.
>>159656017
I don't know why the anime made it so popular
>>159658098
Because that's what they're supposed to do?
>>159658155
Why would you give an answer like that in a thread titled "Popular shows you genuinely don't understand the appeal of"
>>159658199
Because it answers his question.
>>159656017
This.
Just a bunch of psudo-manly faggotry and lol so randum humor.
Worst show ever
>>159658273
I don't like it either, but I think that's actually why people like it.
>>159658317
I wouldn't mind if it was just a shit show and people liked it but I swear it turns people gay.
>>159658226
So, I guess that answers the popularity of every manga with an anime adaption ?
>>159658040
Because the anime made it popular, as it should be
PSG.
/a/ praises it to high heavens, but it's possibly one of the worst comedies I've ever watched. Not to mention that the fanbase has to be the most autistic collection of people I've ever met.
This shit.
>>159656017
>Flamboyant manly men yell at each other while someone else gives pointless exposition during fight scenes
That's all I got out of this show. Or part 1 atleast, didn't bother going any further.
>>159658357
>So, I guess that answers the popularity of every manga with an anime adaption ?
Not necessarily, but the adaption stayed true to the source material, animating it means that it will reach more people and in this case it worked.
>>159658040
I'll say this until the day I die.
It should have been half as long and kept the better half of the sketches.
I swear to god I visit /a/ once every year or so just to see what people are watching, and every time I find a thread just like this with identical posts and get this extreme feeling of deja-vu
>>159656206
>>159656428
These two posts especially trigger it, exact images and everything. This isn't a "wow same thread different day x]]]]" post, I'm starting to think I'm either losing my mind or I'm stuck in a fucking time loop.
Basically the universe in its complexities are boiled down to repeating fractals, so even on larger scales we're just patterns repeating themselves, it makes sense. Electrons orbitting nuclei, planets orbitting stars, me finding this thread every year. Sentience probably arose from the universe attempting to break its cycle by developing autonomy to greater control itself but, ultimately even that is a pattern I think, cells on cells according to rules, you can't break a cycle if you're following an algorithm, but I don't know that for sure. Probably making this post breaks this cycle, I will come back in one year to see if it happened again and if it did I will light myself on fire and eat my neighbors.

TTGL:
I know what it tried to do, parody and consolidate/deconstruct or whatever; but the cliches were badly implemented. I could never developed any sort of feeling towards the characters, dropped after Kamina died (I didn't give a fuck about his dead)
Index:
Really pretentious shit, also the MC is unlikable as fuck.
Gundam:
The only mecha manga I could get into were Eva and Code Geass.
>>159658406
The comedy is really, really insulting at times as per typical Imaishi, but the characterization far outshines anything else Imaishi has ever created. I found Panty and Stocking to be way more interesting than any character in TTGL or KLK in my opinion

>>159658549
I tried watching SYD again last week and turned it off after 1 episode.
angel beats is the worst show I've ever seen.
Lain
First 7-8 episodes: the fuck am i watching.
Last 4-5 episodes: was that it? meh.
All 12 episodes fighting not to fall asleep and often losing.
Honestly? Aria.
For one, the pacing is slow as balls, even for a SoL. Slow pacing isn't generally a deal breaker, but the characters are very heavily tied to their "gimmicks" and archetypes and it makes them really uninteresting to watch. It doesn't help that the senpai characters are meant to so strongly resemble the main cast that it prevents them from really becoming their own characters.
The manga, however, gives you a lot of little stuff to think about and I enjoyed it just for that, but the anime spreads it out so much that to get to these interesting parts you have to generally get through 15 minutes of walking, loitering, rowing, and serifu kinshi-ing around neo-venezia. Its relaxing at first but after around 20 episodes its just frustrating.
SoL is my favorite genre, but I just cannot get Aria.
K-ON
I enjoy the music and the game I played on PSP was pretty fun but the anime puts me to sleep watched just before Asuna joins or whatever her name is and just didn't like how the show tried way too hard to be cute, like it was really in your face about it. I know it's in the genre but fuck me you can be cute without being obnoxious.

>>159656260
>Texhnolyze
>Tries too hard
How so?
The vast majority of them, and I am not even trying to be contrarian here.
CGL - dog shit art direction and overall design, retarded story and characters and for some reason this is considered mecha, its an embarrassment to the sub-genre
HxH - starts being shit 30% into the series and the giant-ant arc, which lasts for like 45% of the entire show, is complete bin-tier
Monogatari - the only likeable characters in the mess of a show are Shinobou and Snail, the rest of the storylines are incredibly tiresome and very often just repetitive as hell, how anyone can like Senjogahara is beyond me
OPM - this is somehow supposed to be a seinen with social criticism mixed into it when for 90% of its durations its just a stereotypical battle shounen and the jokes/social comments are so flat and bland and I dont see how it could ever not be considered to be on a level with your average battle shounen, no matter what magazine its being published in
Fate - every single fate show is the same, the first half is enjoyable thanks to the world building and then they just botch if with the final 10eps
Another - I mean its a nice comedy I guess
Madoka - illogical writing left and right and some, if not the most atrocious artstyle I have ever witnessed, there is generic, there is bad, and then there is Madoka which is just straight up fucking ugly with the witches dream worlds simply looking out of place (at least most of the time)
Maou-Sama - ?????????????????????
I can look at MALs list of the most popular shows for an hour and would be able to keep on going I feel.
I don't get the appeal of
JoJo and Evangelion. Can't really give a reason for JoJo, something about it just stops me from liking it. As for Evangelion it is hard to like a show that has shit characters and saying that they are intentionally annoying etc is not an excuse
>>159656128
>Haruhi
T.b.h, call me a hipster faggot, but one of the reasons why I first got into Haruhi was because of Kyon and his humor. I'm into that kind of sarcastic wit he exudes over all of the situations he's in. I haven't watched since the first season though. Do the newer seasons have the same vibe as the first?
>>159656133

Wow, it was like the complete opposite for me. I liked most characters, but Kyon was like the show breaker for me as he took himself too seriously.
>>159658584
>characterization
Panty likes sex
Stocking likes sweets
THE END
But I mean, you're comparing them to Imaishi characters and they're all shit, so it's not like I don't see where you're coming from.
>>159658411
It gets better honestly but if you didn't like Part 1 you probably wouldn't like the others.

To be fair, you can't really judge the whole series just off of the first part. That doesn't mean you'll like the rest of it though because part 3 and 5 are pretty long drags or filler monster of the week, though part 2, 4, 6, are a bit more balanced and easy to get through and part 7 is competently written genuinely a fantastic manga

Haruhi is a little bit above average show, but when it came out it was the best of its kind and sort of the only of its kind. That's why it became a phenomenon when it came out. The reason it still holds today is because it's a fun show with cool, funny, and or heartfelt moments. The real good thing about the Haruhi franchise is the movie. If you're even slightly invested in the show the movie will blow you away, it's such an emotional rollercoaster with such a satisfying conclusion.

SnK is one of two shows that the manga of is better. It's a bit shallow like you guys say, but the art plus the scenarios give a real feel of desperation throughout. There are a few moments where I thought the manga was going to end with the loss of humanity, and the show isn't afraid to let death occur.

I don't "get" Trigger. I saw Kill La Kill while it was airing and thought it was OK, but looking back I really can't say I enjoyed it. In the meantime I saw Luluco and Inferno Cop and I just don't understand any of the humour. They're like watching those ironic Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit memes.
It just seems like blatant American pandering to me, and I'm not American.

Not a specific show, but SOL in general. I know it's supposed to be "comfy" but I don't understand the appeal of watching people do nothing for hours on screen. Nothing happens, no one changes, and they're usually not even funny for some humor. It's like watching someone have a tea party from the bushes and pretending that's enjoyable or interesting in any way despite not actually being involved. There's not even proxy enjoyment. I just don't get it.
>>159664056

>>159664074
I'm aware and already have (I've dropped 300+ series anyways, "oldfag"). That's why I have started almost exclusively reading manga instead. SOL is so dreadfully unengaging that still drawings are more entertaining.

Congratulations, you just described Trigger and the entirety of their shitty forced meme shows
>>159664056
SoL is the only genre that is 100% completely character driven. If you love just watching characters interact in general then SoL is up your alley, but I don't blame you if you need a little plot to keep you interested.
>>159664364
Not. Gonna. Stop me.
>>159664056
You know the term "friend simulator"? That's what SoL is (not saying that as if it's a bad thing). It's just nice to meet up with the usual crew once a week, like you're having a Thursday night poker game, and seeing what they're all up to. It's relaxing.
Why did people like Keijo? For an anime all about girls hitting each other with their boobs and butts, it wasn't sexy at all, and if you weren't in it for the sex appeal then why did you watch a show about girls hitting each other with their boobs and butts?
>>159656532
People can relate to her,or related to her because she's an antisocial fuck.That's more or less it.
>>159664074
Ive watched 500+ shows and movies and only around 25 of those are SoL, and of those 25 like 5 are Mushishi which is fairly far from your usual SoL and honestly shouldn't even be considered to be part of the genre. If youre open to any genre (outside of SoL) theres plenty of stuff to watch.
>>159660435
I enjoyed Eromanga sensei because it was that kind of show that was just bad enough for the show itselfto be subpar but good enough that I can enjoy it.It's like watching bad movies,you know they''re terrrible but you watch them anyway because it's entertaining.

Come for the boobs and butts, stay for the somehow completely serious sports anime. Much like KLK the fanservice is played so straight it becomes a non-factor
>>159665001
That makes a lot of sense, and helps me understand why I have found SOL to not be to my tastes.

I don't think "manime" means anything not SoL.
>>159666841
Manime is just a /v/ buzzword for everything i don't like.

LOL. I know this is /a/, but if you truly believe that, you have serious mental problems.
>>159662908
>We're not all watching/reading 24/7 because not everyone is a fucking fat neet.
I am not either but i still have time to warch atleast 6 episodes a day.
>>159669357
haha wrong thread woops
Any popular anime with more than 100+ episodes really, except for Natsume it looks alright.
and not really popular butShitgatsu no lion
Inferno Cop.
Do people like this series ironically?
The humour is fucking Family Guy-tier.
>>159659174
For Eva, the most common explanation for most people that hate it is that you've become so used to generic "epic" anime protags you've forgotten what a realistic character is like, so they seem like shit to you.
>>159670052
just wait until they go all political in season 2 of it
>>159670052

I do believe that's how they enjoy it, yes.

Re:Creators
To-Love-Ru. The art is nice, but the MC ruins it all
this show no joke i dont understand why so many people like it ive tryed watching it so many time
cause of my firends but every thing that happens in this anime i knew it was gonna happen,
one time i wrote down what i thougth was gonna happed gave it to my mate
then we watched it and no joke i was right like wtf he got pissed thougth i read the manga but
this anime is so shit and predicable the anime story just dosent stick why do so many people like this shit why.
One piece. Hands down cancerous trash.
>>159658803
A surreal show about characters and their growth, with copious amounts of comedy, stunning visuals, and lots of waifus.
>>159662551
then watch more than 200 episodes
>>159664202
nobody finds it funny , people like it for waifushit and being kinda comfy
>>159673021
You must be 18 to post on this board.
I don't recall any popular shows that I disliked recently. Ajin maybe? is that even popular?
>>159662981

>Need to watch over 100 episodes of something before it gets interesting
This is why most anime is shit. You shouldn't even have to watch 10 episodes of a show for it to start getting good. If it doesn't draq one in by the 1st, let alone 2nd episode, it deserves to be trashed.
>>159674018
>can't understand Ajin

>>159656532
I hated the shit out of the anime but ended up enjoying the manga far more. If you're feeling like giving it another chance I recommend the manga.
Gundam 0079
Haruhi
>>159674471
not really is good even the first 100 eps were good but it's a show you enjoy rewatching it more than the first time you've watched it
>>159674651
What don't you get about Haruhi? It's cute and makes you think a bit.
>>159661853
Well I guess. I assumed Kyon was seen as one of the more cynical sardonic characters which are the type of characters I kind of like. Or emphasis on sardonic. People usually associate such attitudes with smug hipsters.
I generally cant get into most Jap humor because I feel it lacks with and sarcasm but emphasizes buffoonery more. This was one of the few that was different for me, especially for a H.S. anime.
>>159661160
Aren't there other seasons past 1?
>>159662435
They'll pull numbers out their asses if they can dick measure.
>>159660876
That heterosexual males enjoy it at all is more confusing, it's a wonderful series but it's basically 95% bait to attract gays and women
I don't understand the popularity of idol series.
I'm pretty sure they're just SoL things about cute girls doing cute things (which I'd probably watch to kill time), but what I don't get the rabid fanbases of things like Love Live.
Granted I don't give a shit about celebrities in general so that may be the issue.
Attack on Titan was interesting for pitting the human vs giants, meatbag mechas but beyond that it's honestly quite boring.
And I guess Barakamon I didn't really feel much althroughout, couple laughs but that was it. Makes me hesitate in watching something like Non Non Biyori.

Ajin started ok baiting specific kind of audience then writer changed ruining everything and since that specific audience overlap with brain dead retards you have spergs like >>159674538 defending it.

Anon you only say that because...
>what is the appeal of evangelion
it's the slowly resolving mystery and the masterful deconstruction
it starts as a sad kinda show about a boy who must pilot a mech reluctantly for a secret organization. then questions arise as to why must he do it in the first place, the organization itself, their inhuman experiments, the silent girl who turns out to be a soulless clone, their extremely harsh treatment of a kid who is already damaged
for me it was the mystery around NERV itself
after misato found out that NERV had sabotaged the independently made mech JA Jet Alone at the end of episode 7 I basically peed myself in excitement
>>159676129
>deconstruction
this whole thread is /v/ incarnate.

>>159656758
What really bothers me about AoT is how often people seem to confused having a good and intriguing plot with piling up a bunch of random questions/mysteries with no real pay off. For every one mystery solved, two or three more questions are thrown in and its gotten hard to care with how unsatisfying the answers I've gotten have been.
>>159656128

>>159665399
The manga is good, so I (and other people too, I presume) was looking forward to the adaptation. There were some changes I liked (added training scenes for Nozomi and Sayaka, foreshadowed stuff for Kazane andSSJ Nozomi), but I felt that the anime suffered from adaptation compression, something like an average of over 5 chapters per episode and still missing stuff I liked.
I once found the manga, read the premise, found it funny and uncommon, wanted to see how the author explored it, then I got caught by the smart MC whose poverty life made her develop interesting abilities (curiosity, perceptiveness and persistence, which help her gather information, creativity, improvisation and self-confidence which help her use said information).
Symphogear.
Most of the action scenes have in them everything I hate about animu fights, they also have shit I usually like but executed in the lamest way possible.
Some characters have a few neat moments but overall I disliked them.
Animation is good and has fights pretty often but again the logic and choreography of the fights are shit.
Writing can get beyond retarded.
>>159683054
The logic is that there is no logic. The fun of Symphogear is in the absolute bullshit the series tries to push/ I'm surprised someone on /a/ doesn't fully under stand "rule of stupid cool"
>>159683213
Symphogear is something I'm surprised even exists every time I look at it.
>>159683054
>>159683213
I just started to watch Symphogear a few nights ago because I heard it revels in being stupid and over the top, which is my thing, but i'm a bit dissapointed in it.
It's enjoyable enough but it really doesn't go balls to the walls enough to really ride on that, and the cool over the top stuff it does do isn't really executed good enough to make up for it either. Same applies for the music: The music isn't quite good enough to really have the series ride on having the characters sing during every fight scene.
Overall, I'd say it's decent, but it feels like it's less then the sum of it's parts: It seems to do everything well enough, but instead of it all coming together to make something really cool, it just sort of works without excelling.
>>159683054
I agree. I don't hate it by any means, but I'll never understand the hype it gets. It's not even the fact that it can be stupid, it just isn't really consistently exciting or interesting.
>>159683599
As an example, I was expecting something along the lines of G Gundam, or (technically not an anime but it might as well be one) Asura's Wrath in how absurdly over the top and dumb and silly it is, but it's just not as cheesy or quite as ridiclious as it needs to be to really make it work.
>>159665399
Because, good animation and story. It ain't Cowboy Bebop but it's good as fuck.
>>159656058
People are dumb, meme spouting furry faggots who don't like animation. What's hard to understand about that?

Best comedy show out there, above average shonen, good drama and decent story.
>>159678691
the anime sucks

OP, most OP creators would have said "shows you unironically don't understand the appeal of".
I just want to thank you for using proper English.
But to the topic,
My Hero Academia.
I watched 7 episodes of the first season and saw what amounts to be a generic battle shonen with a really whiny protagonist. I couldn't stand him so I dropped it.
I'm curious to know how this show got so popular.

It panders hard to American comic book enthusiasts (specifically Marvel fans).
