What an anime your friend really likes but you hate (or other way around)

Drop them down im genuinely curious, for me all my friends like one piece and think db should replace bleach in the big 3, but ive always thought bleach was the best out of the big 3. (my opinion dont bash me 🙏)

My buddy loves Solo Leveling while I despise it

confusers2025-12-31 00:40

I understand why people that don't like Solo Leveling don't like it. Solo Leveling will not give you great character development or, for that matter, great characters. Heck, it barely even gives you *multiple* characters. It will not give you a great story. It doesn't have many surprises. All it does is show you how awesome the MC is. Over and over. I like it, but I see that it's a one-trick pony. I will never be surprised when somebody does not like it.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:45

heavy agree, its just something to make you feel good you know? i usually rate animes on how good it makes me feel when i watch it so it ended up being a 10. i could barely tell you what happened in season 1 now that i think of it 🙏

InsertRealisticQuote2025-12-31 22:36

Its all style and little substance. I think of it like a blockbuster action movie. Some people love one but not others or dont like them at all.

ClemFire2025-12-31 00:36

One of the coldest takes known to man but I do not particularly care for Solo Leveling compared to my mates but I really like MHA while they are not big fans

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:38

no way 2 people said solo leveling in the same minute 😂, fair though its really not a crazy anime i finished it and forgot about it until it just blew up on social media

ClemFire2025-12-31 00:41

I respect the insane animation, but I legit remember very little about it and can’t tell you anything about the side cast

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:41

i can name maybe 3 characters max lmao, agreed

TalynRahl2025-12-31 00:37

Was briefly doing an anime stream with a friend. She was OBSESSED with Attack on Titan. We were streaming just as the final season was airing, so I binged the whole thing so we could watch the final together.

Absolute ballsweat. Terrible show.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:40

wow really??? i cant believe you hate aot that badly 😭 it is my top 2 and i went on to watch code geass and that became my top 3, opinions are opinions though so its not for everybody

TalynRahl2025-12-31 01:08

I think the problem is everyone was hyping it up so much, that by the time I finally sat down to watch it, it just *couldn’t* live up to that hype.

Everything after the Paradis reveal just felt so myeh.

That finally OP was a banger, though. So at least I can credit the show for introducing me to SiM!

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:20

Wow!!! Opinions really vary by people. After Paradis was revealed, the worldbuilding stepped up tenfold for me and I felt like everything before it was just a lie (which it was), and thats why I ended up falling in love with it. Openings of course were a banger too. Fair enough though, to each their own! You should tell me your favorite anime, might give them a watch.

TalynRahl2025-12-31 01:24

The big problem with that… is the answer would change, depending on the day, or my mood 😂. Been watching anime for 30 odd years. There have been some legends in that time.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is up there, 100%. Great universe, interesting art style, BANGIN music.

Gurren Lagann is just that good. Rewatched it a few months back and it holds up.

And then gotta shout out the GOAT: One Piece. But it would be a bit mean to make you watching 1500 episodes 😂. So just check out those first two, if you haven’t already!

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:31

Gurren is something I've been wanting to watch then I end up starting something super long right before and stalls me out. Madoka Magica is up on the never ending watchlist too, and One Piece I've tried but ill wait until the reanimation comes out to begin lol.

TalynRahl2025-12-31 11:06

Haha fair, on all counts.

DraciaAnderson2025-12-31 01:56

I hated the show (never made it through s2), but later read the manga and was surprised how good it was.

TalynRahl2025-12-31 11:08

Might give that a shot then. Maybe wait a few years so I’ve forgotten most of what happened and then try the manga.

lostinthesouth472025-12-31 00:38

alot of poeple I know like stuff like dragonball z and naruto and I can Mot get into them.

they are too main stream for me I guess.

I like stuff like Chitose in the ramune bottle and Sword art online, Isekai's, stuff like that.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:39

max i could get into naruto was 40 eps when i was rlly sick so i just binged it, i havent been able to get into it since lol. sao is great

Capodraste2025-12-31 01:16

SAO is very much supra mainstream tho ?

lostinthesouth472025-12-31 03:08

IMO not really. they ended it off after 4 seasons and a movie. DBZ and naruto are still being made and are ginormously marketed all over the world.

Throwaway9193192025-12-31 11:30

That's not a metric on whether something is mainstream or not though...

lostinthesouth472025-12-31 17:23

to me, mainstream is when it has a TON of merch, collabs, and marketed all over the place. its continues to me made for only continuing profits. no matter how diluted the storyline gets.

Geoffk1232025-12-31 02:40

I was a huge DBZ and Naruto fan when I was younger but as I've gotten older I tend to watch romance and shitty Isekai more

Nothing quite hits like a good romcom while you remember how alone you are.

lostinthesouth472025-12-31 17:44

I feel you on that. all the way in the feels.

FastBreakPhenom2025-12-31 00:39

My girlfriend is obsessed with re zero. It's the most boring show ever for me, I only watched the first two seasons because she wanted to watch it together. It's like 90% talking and 10% actual things happening. When I heard Suburu confess his love for Emilia for the 47th time I had to tap out

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:41

there is SO much talking i definitely agree, but its something i turn on while playing a game, definitely not a show to watch with people lol. when things happen atleast its pretty badass like the white whale stuff. also subaru is the most embarassing mc of all time 😭

Both-Variation21222025-12-31 00:43

First episode was great. Then it was one loop stretched across couple episodes. Then across couple seasons. I gave up.

Some_Useless_Person2025-12-31 19:10

I agree. Later, it just became Subaru dying and crying again and again

winston27012025-12-31 01:24

There's a lot more action in the third season, I think it might suit your tastes a bit more even if you didn't love the first two seasons.

RasholeHash2025-12-31 03:39

W girlfriend!

MarzipanFragrant542025-12-31 00:40

This might be a controversial take, but I think Shokugeki no Soma is one the most creative visual interpretations of cooking I've ever seen. Yeah my friend hates it...

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:42

i had to search up what that was in english 😭food wars has a very unique way of expressing food, you should watch Resturaunt to Another World if you haven't already, amazing cooking show!

MarzipanFragrant542025-12-31 00:53

Yeah, I'll do it, but I don't think it can beat what I've experienced with this show. No shit, I am waiting for the chef in irl that is capable of undressing people only with his cooking skills. But really, if you overlook the fact that at the time I've seen it I had to watch it under my blanket, it was a peak show! Thx for the recommendation!

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:53

No problem, SADLY I don't think the food undresses them but the show never fails to make me hungry.

abandoned_idol2025-12-31 02:59

I really loved the diagonal camera panning, so much panning. I unironically like the anime.

MarzipanFragrant542025-12-31 07:34

Yeah, it actually gets worse as I think the further you watch. Season one and two had a great balance in dynamic and diagonal camera panning, but then it got worse. Honestly it's hard to admit, but yeah I understand the people who dropped it and said it wasn't the same anymore after season three or so, but I still think it was a cool attempt that could have been better animation and story whys especially at the end, however I wouldn't say it did everything wrong. It was over-hyped at the time which contributed a lot to its downfall, but what I think we can all agree on is, that it was better than One punch man season 3 (;

abandoned_idol2025-12-31 08:03

I can easily picture myself rewatching it. I do like Shokugeki, even with the tradeoffs.

It's thanks to it that I watch other food themed animes. e.g. "Fermat Kitchen" (this one is much sillier though

MarzipanFragrant542025-12-31 08:06

As long as they don't use Amazon prime to order their ingredients I am totally fine and give it a try.

BambooGentleman2025-12-31 00:42

Too many examples to list. One of them enjoys the third season of One Punch Man and I just don't have the heart to tell him how badly the poor animation ruined the manga.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:44

they LIKED season 3??? PLEASEEEEE IT WAS A MASSACRE

Both-Variation21222025-12-31 00:44

Any long running popular battle shonen. Sure, I watched DBZ as a kid and have nostalgia towards it, but why would I touch Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia and whatever else released in recent years?

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:48

Bleach TYBW, One Piece recent arcs, Naruto Shippuden. These are the reasons these shows still stay in popularity. Watching the original naruto, beginning of OP, or even normal bleach (which is the least boring in my opinion) is genuinely just a pain to get through. Im a bit confused of what you're saying though, are you saying you only watch DBZ?

Both-Variation21222025-12-31 01:11

Out of big three shonens? Yes. And I skip new ones on principle unless some other aspect really interests me.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:22

Interesting. I watch anime in a much different perspective where I try to watch everything that exists in every genre, and rate my findings based on what I watched. But to each their own! DBZ is great from what I've watched, just never liked the ideas of Dragon Balls reviving people since that ruins the weight of deaths for me.

Both-Variation21222025-12-31 01:26

Nah, it's dumb shit. I just have childhood nostalgia over it, having complete maniac as the best friend in elementary school. And Kai was what got me back into anime for some part.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:32

Honesty is the best policy 😂

Gloomy-Response-68892025-12-31 00:46

Definitely solo leveling.

Other shows would be:

* 86 part 2 (I dont think it is inherently bad, I just can't stand where the show was going).
* re:zero (I simply got annoyed over the characters, not a bad show at all, especially the first couple seasons).
* SaO in its entirety (how do people actually say this show is any good... It baffles me).
* Higurashi, the newest season (I hate the dialouge and forced exposition as if the viewer is 12yo. I cannot say anything about the prior seasons).

Edit: Not an anime, but I will add Arcane season 2. One of the worst pieces of media from a sequel I have seen, but my buddies seem to not dislike it even a little.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:50

People are saying Re:Zero's new season is going to be the best out of all of them, so im hyped for that.

86 I haven't watched myself yet but I've only heard good things about it.

SAO Season 1 I've heard is great but just spirals downhill season 2, I've only in 2025 started watching super mainstream stuff so I need to catch up on what I've missed these past 5 years 😭

Gloomy-Response-68892025-12-31 01:04

I got a few more hehe. A couple I like, but my friends hates.

Anohana (I really like this show, but apparently my friend could not watch it. He got bored).

Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kum (I feel that the story is somewhat well written where I can see this actually happening. On top of that, the characters actually feel real, which is weird considering the type of show it is and what it is trying to tell. Sadly, my friend who watched it with me, disagrees and thinks its mid).

Dress up darling (I kinda get it, the show felt too ecchi and he don't like it if it is just ecchi to be ecchi. I would have to say that the show could have been paced better so that it is not just immediately jumped the gun with nudity concepts).

Oreimo (Yea read the synopsis and you might get why people will not like this show).

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:06

I seriously need to tap in, I only know dress up darling here, I get what you mean. The succubus cosplay and when she stripped for measurements was definitely weird, but overall I like the idea of a guy helping build cosplays and the girl using them and them falling in love, because im a cosplayer myself. I get you though! Thats why a lot of my friends put it off awell.

PerceptionOk85432025-12-31 01:05

Did you watch the new season without watching the old higurashi? Lol it’s a direct sequel

Kiriijou2025-12-31 01:17

And a pretty terrible sequel at that.

Gloomy-Response-68892025-12-31 01:18

I know, we initially believed it was a remake, but realised pretty late it was a sequel. No matter what, the plotpoints I was aware of still had forced exposition there was no need for, and this was every other episode. This is also why I only mention the recent season and not anything before. They might just be golden in this aspect and would not know.

PerceptionOk85432025-12-31 01:22

Yea it was a dogshit cashgrab, I agree. It hurt my soul as Higurashi is one of my favourite shows

EternalwinterHallow2025-12-31 00:51

I don't hate it but it's just not my cup of tea in Aot & Dr Stone.

Artsy7272025-12-31 00:53

Fair enough! I believe those two can't be for everybody! I am a biittt surprised about Dr Stone but hey at least you gave it a shot.

EternalwinterHallow2025-12-31 20:42

Why surprised?

Artsy7272025-12-31 21:40

Its a show I show a lot of people and they always end up resonating with it, and I haven't met many people who have dropped or not liked it.

EternalwinterHallow2025-12-31 22:14

Yeah I don't see the world that way so I can't understand that kind of stuff

Artsy7272025-12-31 22:16

See the world that way? Like religion?

EternalwinterHallow2025-12-31 22:18

The surprise of someone's bot liking something when most do.

ScreamingAmerican2025-12-31 00:56

My buddy’s favorite anime is Hunter x Hunter and I just don’t have the heart to tell him that I think it’s just good/pretty good

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:04

Same with me, my gf LOVES hxh yet I just think its okay. Its seriously not bad or anything, but its just not the best either.

MusubiKazesaru2025-12-31 00:56

Replace it? There's only three specific Big Three anime. Dragon Ball being better than them has no bearing on that.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:04

Its a "what if" thing

PerceptionOk85432025-12-31 01:06

I didn’t like Frieren and Mushoku tensei and constantly argue about it with my friends lol

At the same time they dropped my favorite show, Shinekai Yori, and never gave it a fair chance

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:12

Dropped tensei as well, really weird and did not like his dick out as a literal yk?? Like geez...

Frieren im very surprised you didn't like it, I've never seen Shinekai Yori but after searching it up I like that artstyle a lot, maybe I'll give it a watch myself!

Both-Variation21222025-12-31 01:40

Mushoku was great as beatifuly animated adventure show. But then it got stuck in become magic school anime for a season. They can be good, but this one was not.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:47

Sooo many people I've seen who say Tensei is their FAVORITE show, can't believe it really...

Geoffk1232025-12-31 02:44

I quite liked the school volumes when I read them initially but I can understand why they aren't as popular.

I think it honestly just lends itself better in novel format.

Comfortable-Net-22352025-12-31 01:11

Naruto, it’s way too boring for me while my friend loves it

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:22

Agreed. Episode 40 is where I dropped it, although I wanna force myself to get to Shippuden.

EnvironmentalGear2422025-12-31 01:18

Désolé les gens mais l attaque des titans au départ ca allait mais j ai abandonné car ça n'est pas du tout mon type d'animé mais c'est pas pour autant que je ne respecte pas le travail de son créateur . Les personnages sont stylés la qualité est bien et l histoire a un sens je comprends qu il plaise a la plupart des gens

OfficialPrower2025-12-31 01:42

Overlord. We watched the whole thing cause I really wanted to find out what he liked about it. Spoilers I couldn’t find it.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:50

Never watched it but I always liked Ainz character design, guess one day I'll figure out if I like it myself.

Salty1452025-12-31 01:46

My friend seems to think I’m some kind of predator or furry or something for liking *Uma Musume*. His loss.

Artsy7272025-12-31 01:48

Would watch Uma but I really wish they'd dub it after how popular it has been getting in the USA. The game wasn't for me so I'm crossing fingers for a dub.

DraciaAnderson2025-12-31 02:01

My bestie tends to like all the popular shounen anime. She's a huge fan of all the big names. Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer, MHA and so on (she even has tattoos of those). I actually started watching all of them because she is my bestie and I wanna be able to understand the stuff she loves.

The thing is, battle shounen is one of my least favourite types of anime and I really dislike all of her favourite shows. I feel kinda bad about it but it is what it is :')

Artsy7272025-12-31 02:02

That's sad 😭Battle shounen is not for everybody! What anime do you like to watch?

DraciaAnderson2025-12-31 02:11

According to anime.plus my favourite tags are Drama, Avant Garde, Sci Fi and Mystery. I think those describe me pretty well :) I love sci fi (Gundam, Legend of the Galactic Heroes), but some of my favourites are the anime made by Ikuhara (Penguindrum, Sarazanmai, Utena, Yuri Kuma Arashi). Also stuff like Mononoke and Gankutsuou with unique styles.

My favourite show this year was Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu.

Artsy7272025-12-31 02:13

I know a lot of people who like Summer Hikaru Died aswell! Not for me but I get the hype, I also just don't have netflix and I have an anime family 😭

DraciaAnderson2025-12-31 02:25

Ooohh, it's actually good to hear you know people like that. On here Hikaru feels somewhat fringy, like, not many people will mention it, I guess?

I like it for many reasons, but it also speaks to me personally. It's easy for me to empathise with the characters. It was really touching. But yeah, it's all a matter of taste in the end. My shounen-loving bestie probably wouldn't get much out of my favourite shows either :')

Temporary_Ad61122025-12-31 02:04

Rent a girlfriend

Artsy7272025-12-31 02:06

If anybody you know likes this show I think they should stop watching anime indefinitely

PatoConejito2025-12-31 03:07

porpoiseoflife2025-12-31 03:14

I don't have friends outside of the Internet that watch anime, but my answer to this will always be Death Note.

Artsy7272025-12-31 03:17

Interesting you dont like death note? All of it or after the event that everybody hates? (ifykyk)

porpoiseoflife2025-12-31 03:49

From the jump, I'm afraid. It was Light himself that made me check out of Death Note. I'm not fond of megalomaniacal characters, and Light is practically the poster boy for the syndrome. And worse was watching him slide even deeper into the crap. By the end of the first cour, I wanted nothing more than to see him choke to death on his own tongue. He was much more tolerable in the second cour after [DN spoiler]>!Light buried the Death Note!<, and I actually got close to enjoying that string of 13 episodes. But then the final cour began and it all turned right back into being an intolerable mess. I haven't even touched on the horrid decision making by the alleged genius, of which my complaints are legion.

And it wasn't just Light. Misa was a misa-take. Melo and Near are worthless and incompetent. The entire family might as well have been on vacation to Pluto for all the good they did. Mikami had the charisma of an ant colony.every single human character would have been best served by being fed into a wood chipper feet first.

Artsy7272025-12-31 04:01

well i think thats the point, hes insane, hes not himself anymore. misa is over obsessed.

mello and near arc really wasnt that bad but I did drop it then pick it up 2 years later restarting the show. i only like near's character design.

Rush1662025-12-31 05:27

I never really liked Black Clover and My Hero Academia, even though some friends insisted I give them a chance.

Artsy7272025-12-31 05:37

mha i watched with my family, i probably wouldnt enjoy it alone. black clover i could NOT get into. pretty boring

Plenty-Cricket97152025-12-31 15:17

My friend likes fruits basket couldnt get pass ep 2

MaloraKeikaku2025-12-31 15:50

JJK. I don't hate it but I dropped it cause there was nothing of substance. I found almost none of the characters interesting, the ones I did liked were so far above the others it made me dread any scene without them.

I have a buddy who swears it is this deep, amazing masterpiece. I am totally fine with him liking it but...

Cmon man it is massively carried by the stellar production. Which IS very impressive. But that alone rarely entertains me.

I on the other hand love Gurren Lagann with all my heart. Stuff about the indomitable human spirit always gets to me, Kamina and Simon are amazingly well written, and I love the vibe of the world a ton.

My friends don't care for it whatsoever. Alas...

qef152025-12-31 16:29

My friend loves mainstream action shonen, I love CGDCT. And we dislike the genre of each other.

You can tell our anime choices just literally never are going to overlap.

The one exception is Ruri Rocks, which he watches only for the educational parts, while I do it for both the educational parts and the cute girls and their excellent characters.

Some_Useless_Person2025-12-31 19:11

For me it was My Life As Inukai's Dog. Like bro. Stop sharing your fetishes with me.

Esto es subjetivo pero solo leveling, o cualquiera donde solo se trata de cromarsela al MC, otro ejemplo sería
Clashrrom of the elite ami hermano le encantan pero ami personalmente no.
