I have found that my ability to enjoy anime pretty much died when I matured. A lot of times I'll see stuff that I used to love and be like "Christ, I can't believe I WATCHED this WILLINGLY."
That being said, there are a few really high quality shows that I like, but for the most part, I just can't stand it anymore.

pretty much anything that:
a) uses female characters with the body of a twelve year old or tits of the size of the moon to compensate their non-existing fighting skills ( magic , tech, etc. is excluded from this since big tits don't prevent you from being intelligent; but I'll be damned if somebody with those things fights just like everyone else)
b) have little whiny characters i.e. Katekyo Hitman Reborn (sp?)
c) have as a main antagonist somebody who we should feel pity with. i.e. Ravemaster
d) says about a million times that "this move will cost me my life " or " he is dead " and about 2 minutes later said character is in fact not dead and continues living i.e. Ravemaster
e)has any "mysterious" character that just begs to be slapped in the face i.e. Ravemaster (again)
f) has characters with lots and lots of plot armor i.e. Naruto (Sasuke, the others are pretty decent so I'll let that one pass)
g) cryptic bullshit i.e. tbe anime adaptation of romeo and juliette (forgot the name of that stupid thing)

I feel that people hate mainstream anime (Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail) for one of 4 reasons,
1. They tend to be slow paced and focused on character develompent (Not everyone's cup of tea).
2. Because of the constant demand for material mainstream anime often use fillers, however I feel that in one piece, Fairy Tail and to a lesser extent Naruto, the filler episodes weren't done that badly, if you hadn't read the manga you probably wouldn't be aware that they were not part of the storyline. (Anyway if you don't like filler, skip it)
3. People hear too many good things and have such high expectations that they are dissapointed with the end product. (Try to legitimately compare a mainstream anime to some of the more obscure titles and they often fare pretty well)
4. People feel that if they like mainstream anime like they aren't unique, so they make themselves hate stuff everyone else likes so that they seem edgy... (I know a lot of people who are like this and incorrectly pronounce japanese titles to seem more advanced or whatever, even when those anime have english titles...)
Anyway... stuff I didn't enjoy...
Chobits - so very very boring having a main character with no personality or memory.
This Ugly Yet Beautiful World - Same problem.
Elfen Lied - Hmmm... I sense a pattern to my hatred, maybe I'm just not a fan of the whole Amnesia to stagger character background development... Plus it always just seems too convenient, like despite being tortured or a destructive force or whatever that polite and obedient is the opposing factor...
...I also think it's why I hated Tsubasa Chronicles compared to Card Captor Sakura, because in CCS, Sakura was awkward at first and developed into a bad ass, or at least developed enough to fight on her own, and in Tsubasa Chronicles she's just this useless princess incapable of doing anything...
So I guess that's hatred of a story mechanic than an anime in paticular...

The Slayers...bad?Jarrid said:

You better have a good explanation for that, sonny Jim.
Mine would be Rosario + Vampire. How i got through three episodes of that shit, I'll never know.
Pure fanservice, and little else.
( Also, if anyone mentions darker than black, i'm going to go into super rage mode.)
Nothing necessarily bad, but there has definitely been some anime that has been illogical and/or stuffed and bloated with filler.
Naruto is quite illogical and stuffed with filler, even though I really enjoy the show it is really intimidating when I try to watch it and there are 300 episodes out. I think I am up to episode 116 or something close to that, and the story takes forever to develop but I did find it enjoyable.
Bleach was quite good, but it was very slow to get to the variety of moves, and when it did each person had about one or two really good skills. I only ever watched up to episode 50 or 60 and I was kind of annoyed when the main character just lays 'the beat down' on any and all potential bosses. Every division of soldiers has one captain and one vice captain, and the protagonist just eradicates most all of them in the first 40 episodes with very little training. While I was lead to believe that these captains train for years and years.
Dragon Ball Z, great show to watch when I was a young-un, but watching it again now and I notice all the bullshit moves the main characters have. When Vegeta is first introduces he already has an ability that can destroy an entire planet in seconds just by twiddling his thumbs, yet he can't defeat a bunch of bald men, children and mentally challenged apes in extensive 1 on 1 fights.
PS: Anyone notice in a lot of anime, the writers set up a bunch of boundaries like in DBZ "No one in the universe can defeat Freeza." Just for a character to break the boundary to make that character seem super powerful?

Y'know, with the number of times this 4kids thing has been mentioned, I'm glad I only ever watch subs. And is it me or are there like only three dub voice artists out there?! Because the same names pop up everywhere.marioandsonic said:
Hey, I loved all of Blood+. Yeah it can get slow, but it carries itself well. And if you're cheering...
you're a terrible person. NONE OF WHAT HAPPENED WAS HER FAULT.
OT: Pilot Candidate is probably the worst, followed closely by Gundam 0080. I like most mecha animes, but those were bad.[/quote]
I'm cheering about how she died. I liked how they wrote that. Diva is still a crazy ***** though... nothing can change that. She RAPED a little boy because she wanted a son. All in all I'm glad I watched it and it was all worth it at the end. Mai or whatever was more annoying than Diva. Damn I hated her; she should have died too just so we didn't have to listen to her.
Diva's death

99% of it. If it has more then 20 episodes it wont be good. some pretty promising shows got killed by trying to long and to hard.
It's basically softcore hentai put in anime form with the premise that it's intended to raise interest to purchase products like action figures and models.team star pug said:
It's actually a fairly common concept in some rings of the anime industry, but when it's taken to an extreme what you get is a generic story with poor writing.
It's not good because it doesn't even have the ambition to be good. It's a paycheck.
I remember that! I tried following but quit after a few episodes...game-lover said:
Anyhow, my worst was Rave Master. I loved the manga, it was actually my very first and I was really excited when they announced the show. Then I watched the show, and wept.
