I do agree that Mellow seems to serve no purpose and Near's detective work seems to be made up of assumptions instead of fact and evidence, but the second half of Death Note was still entertaining, although L was what made half of the show.Daystar Clarion said:
I did, however, find the ending hard to swallow.
When they got to the Soul Society, I stopped watching. What pulled me in to begin with was Ichigo becoming a substitute Soul Reaper and fought Hollows in the city. That was awesome, I loved that idea. Then they had to pull in the Soul Society shit. If the Soul Society was a place that was always talked about, but never seen, I would have loved it.Hazy992 said:
Bleach basically went from interesting premise for an anime to Dragonball Z 2.0 (If you know me at all, you would know I hated Dragonball Z with all of my heart for being a 100% testosterone-fest).
I seriously could not watch Death Note after "you know what". That should have been (and is in my mind) the end of the series. They should have made the next several episodes wrapping it all up.Justice4L said:

As for the series:
I feel it begins to decline gradually when Misa enters the scene. She presents an element of random chance that is at first interesting to see Light deal with, but it just turns annoying after a while.
The moment when the series really takes the dive into shittytown, to me, is the moment when Light gives up his memory of the Death note. For a while, the series just turns into a shitty "adventures of mismatched detective team".
It was at around this point I stopped reading the manga.
I watched the anime instead so that I would get to know how it ended.
It's clear that this part of the series was not something that the creator had offered a lot of thought when the idea came to him.
The beginning of the series gives off the impression of having been well planned out in advance by a genuinely engaged creator.
Then, when he has created the stuff that he was picturing in his mind, he realized he would have to continue the story from the cool premise he created. It just strikes me as uninspired and half-hearted.
It's as if he had imagined the entire first third of the series in vivid detail, but for the middle part only imagined a rough outline that he figured he'd flesh out when he got to it.
Then there's a brief moment at the point where Light gets back the power of the Death note which is actually of the original quality.
The creator had clearly imagined this particular part of the story in the same vivid detail as he imagined the first third. Sadly, this only lasts for a moment, and the story reverts to the "deal with it when we get there" quality.
And as if that's not enough two utterly pathetic attempts at recapturing the magic of L are introduced to the story along with a Kira's helper to introduce a new element of random chance to shit all over and ruin Light's plans which were what made the series good in the first place!

this. I still like Elfen Lied just because of the beautiful music and stunning opening (didn't know that that was a painting) and an overall interesting plot but the ecchi parts really, really irritated me. It had a potential to be a very grim and dark anime, something I would really enjoy but then it tries to mix comedy and everything instantly fails.Daystar Clarion said:
Rosario + Vampire? Saw it a long time ago, so my rage isn't as big now but I really hate this anime. Saw the first season and wow did it suck. It was a harem with no plot. Half of the anime the guy was just assembling all the girl stereotypes and then the creators were like 'oh shit, it should end with the big battle but we barely had any conflict!' and then they pulled the ending out of their ass. I don't know who degraded vampires more, this anime or Twilight.James Crook said:

What? The ending was awesome. Sure, It's kind of atypical, and not the ending many would have wanted. But for me, that ending was perfect, it wrapped things up so nicely.RyoScar said:
I gotta say I've been rather disconnected as of late. I mean I never heard of katanagatari before this, let alone that it was significantly hyped.
Also, this might be me misjudging the average age here, but I find it entertaining that Eva and Akira and the GitS movie are being mentioned, in this. (I liked them, but I saw them during my adolescence so it might have that kinda light on them.)
On topic, I heard great things about Lain and Key: the Metal Idol, back then. While I enjoyed them I couldn't really recommend them for any reason. A lot of the attention I heard about them might have been more that they were part of the first wave of anime stateside with high thought concepts, most of which are trite by today's experience.
A more recent one that got a lot of attention would be K-on! It's a fine show, but I can't actually watch it out right. I mean, I can have it on in the room but I end up playing with my phone or checking memebase or here or something else. Just a lot of fanfare that didn't impress.

Gurren Lagann, way to much action per action and not enough character development outside of Simon. Still like the show though.
Dragonball Z wouldn't of been so bad if they had cut down the fight lengths, One Piece is way too long for me to get into and I also despise the art style.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is an overated anime just cause it's called the greatest anime of all time by alot of people, it is one of my favourite animes and would get a 9/10 (the ending takes a point off)If I was gonna review it, but its overated in the same way Sgt Peppers is overated, its a damn good album but nowhere near the greatest album of all time.

I have to ask what did you expect from it? You were watching an ecchi harem anime you know you have three options ecchi, good, story you can only pick 2 and will probably only get 1. It is like watching Highschool DxD or High School of the Dead and expecting normal body shaped women.darksuccubus said:
OT: While I do enjoy them most shounen animes are quite over rated by most people eg Naruto, DBZ, Fairy Tail and One Piece. Although I always find it funny when people try to build up a case of Fairy Tail being a One Piece rip off when it is ripping off Rave Master as a Rave Master v2.0.
The thing is, at that point I was just getting into anime so I honestly had no idea what to expect. I just thought this might be a good vampire anime.Glademaster said:
I'm going to have to second dokuro Chan. I just didn't like the humor in the show at all. It was incredibly disappointing considering the hype it got among my friends. I found naruto very over rated as well especially shippuden.
Also while I understand people not liking evangelion I encourage people who have seen the original to check out the rebuild. I've never seen a remake so thoroughly fix the problems of the original series.
I also agree on black butler being over rated. I could not get into the show and I really tried.
Edit: totally forgot, but I find samurai 7 to be horrendously overrated as well as just being one of my least favorite smokes I've ever seen.

It's definitely Neon Genesis Evangelion, but that show is at least coherent and understands how to pace itself, whereas Dragonball Z is just outright godawful and always has been. There is not one single instance of character development in that entire series aside from entry-level "I'm a good guy now!" moments of idiotic hypermasculine bravado. Every single thing about Dragonball Z is deplorable. There is NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT AT ALL.
Ok, that's fair enough then. Well just for the future if you haven't noticed already just check if an anime is ecchi. If it is and you want to see if it is good check out with out people or if you want to know it is "good" Google images should suffice.darksuccubus said:
