What do you dislike about your favorite anime?

I love Hajime no Ippo, but dislike the sexual abuse (or whtvr you wanna call it), whether you wanna argue that it's realism and not just dumb comedy. I think it's overplayed, but I could be wrong. It's just a lot considering all the other schadenfreude.

One Piece - many will say they hate the filler, which I on first watch skipped, but now quite enjoy so far.
What I can't stand is having to see someone beat on Usopp and Zoro. So. Many. Times.

Hunter x Hunter - when the vibes change to the most dark and messed up stuff you've ever witnessed. Where's my wonderful story that inspires me :/ oh well I should rewatch now that it's been a while.

Cromartie Highschool - when they say "read the manga" lol. I would have preferred more anime but okay. I know, sorry, I just can't focus on reading very often in that form.

Shaft is already struggling with the Madoka movie right now.

No they ain't having a good time lmao.

UMP45isnotflat2026-01-27 11:51

Shaft has sadly been struggling for multiple years now, ever since Sangatsu no Lion S2 and Zoku Owari. Dont really know what happened after that, but the Monogatari Monster season we got a while ago was a lifesign for both the studio and the franchise.

For an anime with an incredibly deep take on racism, genocide, performative activism, etc, it is kinda weird that the black guy dies first in 86.

zackphoenix1232026-01-27 00:30

I think the Re:Zero anime suffers from trying to be a 1 to 1 adaptation with the source. Season 3 changed a lot more things (relative to S1 and S2 at least) and it worked in its favour. Season 2, despite having less resources compared to Season 1, decided to do constistent 26 minutes or longer episodes without OP and EDs because the team wanted to faithfully adapt the LN. I'd rather they just did more rewrites and made everything standard length.

The Fate series watch order is in the gutter because of Fate/Stay Night's anime adaptations. I love seeing different creative visions, but for Fate/stay Night, with all 3 routes telling one overarching thematic story, you lose that by having the three routes be adapted by 3 different directors with 3 different and distinct visions for what the series ought to be and feel like. Doesn't help that each adaptation is flawed in their own way making Fate/Zero basically the only "good" starting point now despite being the prequel made after and spoils the sequel, but I digress.

I wish Vivy had more episodes... I just love the series so much.

itstheFREEDOM2026-01-27 00:32

Fillers: One Piece. I currently just got through episodes 1130 to 1140 and the whole Kuma and Bonney thing man.... Every episode, sometimes 2-5 times PER episode. They would do a flashback of something we already saw and watched an episode ago.

Worst of ever seen in the series and they are BAD for that.

FetchFrosh2026-01-27 00:32

The Rose of Versailles: You can definitely feel the director change. Would really be nice if it was just a bit more consistent (namely being more in line with the second half).

Zeallfnonex2026-01-27 01:51

Yeah, I think that was one of the main things I had against it after the rewatch - while there were some outstanding singular episodes, there didn't seem to be a solid theme or concept or idea that lasted from beginning to end, and I imagine the director change had a lot to do with that.

Obvious-Ear-3692026-01-27 00:34

Astra Lost In Space: (Trying to stay spoiler free) The big murder plot reveal was cool and followed the characters' arcs in a meaningful way. The twist with the Russian lady was fucking ridiculous

Vandread: Dita can be insufferable and is the only one of the four protagonists who doesn't get a meaningful character arc.

Full Metal Panic: Chidori tends to make situations worse and hits Sousuke with a fan too much

A Certain Magical Index/Railgun/Accelerator: The characters are too young! What city employs 12 year olds to serve as a junior police force?!

Jefcat2026-01-27 00:42

I got VERY tired of Chidori beating on Sousuke

UMP45isnotflat2026-01-27 00:52

Obvious-Ear-3692026-01-27 00:52

Even when he's at his lowest she greets him with a flying knee and makes it about herself. It's so frustrating

That_Smoke82602026-01-27 01:11

In vandread dita is the heart of that show she's your blond ditzy character but she has a big heart

Querez2026-01-27 03:16

With the Toaru series, what about the sad state of the Index adaptations? Or the occasional fan-servicey/sexualizing scenes of the teens? Honestly I'd say recruiting teens for that stuff makes sense in-universe, due to them being espers while most adults aren't. I mean, in the first place, it's far from the worst thing they do to the kids in that city.

Obvious-Ear-3692026-01-27 04:14

Yeah that too

AmethystItalian2026-01-27 00:35

There's a few things in [Amagami SS](https://myanimelist.net/anime/8676/) but the fanservice is probably the number 1 thing. They do balance the line pretty well a lot but some episodes in Haruka and Sae's arc can take it a bit fat

Jawce20012026-01-27 00:36

cant think of anything for my number one but my very very close second just had a pretty underwhelming ending and someone won a fight in a very BS way (i don't wanna say which one cause im scared of getting crucified)

AlexHallon2026-01-27 00:38

So far, I'm not sure there is anything I *do* dislike about Frieren. There's very few shows I can say that about, but among them, it just happens to align with my tastes the best, and that's why it's my favorite.

Fishy00000000002026-01-27 09:31

The only gripe I can point out about Frieren is that the genre shift from slice of life adventure with a sprinkle of action at the start, changing to shonen tournament near the end of season 1 was a little odd. I personally wasn’t too put off by it and could accept it for what it was, it being an arc to introduce a large amount of characters, but people seem to really dog on it online

maullidothethird2026-01-27 10:32

That wasn't shounen tournament was more to explain magic and frieren weakness than power creep fight.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - while I was happy with the ending, the last two arcs were quite meh, compared to the near perfection of the previous arcs.

Shimmering-Sky2026-01-27 00:54

Gintama: Some of the comedy episodes weren't my cup of tea. As far as serious arcs go, I also hated [Silver Soul Arc]>!the attempt at redeeming Nobunobu.!<

UMP45isnotflat2026-01-27 00:56

The release schedule for the "Das Finale" movies for Girls und Panzer is truly fucked up. Basically we get 1 "movie" with the length of 2 eps every ~1.5 years, for 6 movies total.

I guess its better than the franchise beeing officially "over" but still..

BiggieCheeseLapDog2026-01-27 00:56

Sorry, there’s nothing wrong with Monogatari. It’s too perfect. However, I would have liked to see more Senjougahara.

For an actual complaint about my second favourite Kill la Kill, the first half is stronger than the second and the abandonment of the more episodic format was unfortunate. I wish there had been more episodes like that. Also Inumuta is underdeveloped compared to the rest of the elite four.

Roockety2026-01-27 00:57

Hunter x Hunter - The Chimera Ant arc was unnecessarily long. It's still the best arc imo but it could've been condensed better.

Fate/Zero - It's not a problem exclusive to F/Z but a lot of Fate requires knowledge and understanding outside of the anime to fully grasp everything.

Attack on Titan - I don't think the ending was as bad as some have said but I also don't think it matches the quality of the rest of the series.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Probably the most 'rounded' anime series I've seen in regards to the whole package (story, production and characters) but I don't think it's a flat out 10 in any of them. It falls short of the highs of other anime but it stays consistently very good.

Re:Zero - Second season production issues.

Nightwish19762026-01-27 00:58

Yagakimi - that it is missing the second season.

Uma-apreciator2026-01-27 01:02

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: in season 3 almost all characters in team spica are disposable even McQueen and Teio

SuspiciousWedding8352026-01-27 01:04

In ReZero I don't like how Subaru has multiple love interests besides Emilia. If it's decided that he's going to end up with Emilia don't bring other love interests into the fold.

Querez2026-01-27 03:18

I feel like it makes sense as being yet another part of his "isekai hero" mentality going into the world. By season 2 and onwards I'd say he really only has eyes for Emilia.

ZaphodBeebblebrox2026-01-27 01:06

_Madoka Magica_ has spent years teasing us about a sequel movie that keeps getting delayed. It's annoying to have to keep waiting, particularly since there's decent odds the movie won't even be a satisfying continuation.

I'm also not a fan of a gatcha spinoff (and associated anime) existing. I feel that turning it into a franchise cheapens it as a whole.

Querez2026-01-27 03:56

I feel like OP meant what we dislike about the content of our favorite anime, not necessarily how long the stuff takes to come out

blanc_megami2026-01-27 10:06

I think it's unfair to blame something for the lack of continuation, but still i'm really curious what could be concidered flaws of the original anime. Because honestly i can't come up with something from the top of my head.

VoidEmbracedWitch2026-01-27 01:08

For *Liz and the Blue Bird*, there's is one scene where characters place chairs on a carpet and the carpet looks off compositing-wise. Idk, this one tiny thing somehow bothers me every time I watch it. I love just about every creative choice of the movie otherwise.

Sloth-TheSlothful2026-01-27 01:09

Made in Abyss. The weird, unnecessary scenes with children. Iykyk

benoxxxx2026-01-27 02:08

I know this is a pretty bad hill to die one, but honestly I think those scenes add more than they would in most other shows. They definitely make you feel unnerved, gross, or horrified, which is exactly what the show is going for a lot of the time. Ties into the body horror pretty effectively. In a harem it would all be played for sex appeal instead which is IMO much worse.

Still, the mangaka coulda done fine without and eliminated his biggest criticism.

ThroneOfRoses42026-01-27 09:12

I agree that the MIA author makes those scenes seem relevant to the scenarios, but if it were just one or two scenes I'd understand, there's just a bit too many of them for my liking to where it starts to feel fetishistic. True that it's still farrrr better than many other anime but that doesn't make it any less weird.

This_Event_24332026-01-27 01:11

I dislike the way Bones (?) drew really round faces in Brotherhood. I get it’s kinda Arakawa’s art style, but they make the characters look dorky and unattractive.

2003 had some sexy faces.

maewemeetagain2026-01-27 01:20

The fact that it was a Shaft adaptation that released in the mid-to-late 2010s, which means there's been zero chance of it continuing ever since the new Madoka movie entered production and the chances of it (or anything else, given how bad production seems to be going) continuing after the Madoka movie releases are probably also extremely low.

PatoConejito2026-01-27 01:21

Nothing, it's perfect.

Tricky-Promotion59732026-01-27 01:23

ToG: I hate how long it takes to come out even though the webtoon is just a storyboard for the vastly superior anime

tiny_nova2026-01-27 01:26

Pacing at the start of FMA:B suuuuuuucks. Restarting every rewatch is hard. I always have to get past Izumi's introduction before I lock in. Which means I've seen Mustang in the rain way more than I've seen the full series, and that takes a toll.

Whatevereses2026-01-27 01:28

Steins;Gate - The eyes are extremely uncanny and soulless.

SubmissiveDinosaur2026-01-27 01:47

Kenichi. It never got a second season, just a bunch of OVAs wwith a cliff hanger ending (finished the manga, and the Yomi fights deserve an adaptation)

Zeallfnonex2026-01-27 01:52

Terra arc in LoGH absolutely did not have to happen and added very little, if anything, to the overall story.

porpoiseoflife2026-01-27 05:27

Yeah, the Terraist base episodes were so overdone. But it was part of the source novels, so they had to be included. And that was also the weakest part of the novels as well.

FeefuWasTaken2026-01-27 01:56

I wish gurren lagann had less fanservice personally(I'm not saying none). Yoko saved the group's ass so many times early on, but nobody remembers or gives a shit because every scene with her in has scientifically calculated the horniest camera placement possible

Eremeir2026-01-27 01:57

I really wish I could ignore that Momonga was a cash shop pay-to-win fiend in Overlord. With the anime I could headcanon that he got some of those items from promotional events or something but the source material is very clear he spent a lot of money.

Kadmos12026-01-27 02:04

For "Fairy Tail", the fact that Lucy gets less fights than Natsu. Imagine how much a game-changer it could be for a fighting shounen if the main heroine did most of the battles.

jackofslayers2026-01-27 02:09

Devilman Crybaby - needed 2-3 more episodes to help the pacing. Would have especially loved to have another episode or 2 of Akira doing monster of the week shit. And then also some more on the back end to give some context to the fight with Zennon.

With Re:ZERO, I think all I can say is that I somewhat miss the looping mystery aspect, at least with season 3. I liked season 3 for what it was and the animation was great, but it's definitely a bit different from what initially got me hooked. Good, just different. I still like what it *does* do, and I'm still excited for season 4 and further.

BiggieCheeseLapDog2026-01-27 03:52

It’s the perfect amount for the story it tells.

WOLKsite2026-01-27 03:07

In no particular order:

Shoshimin: Uuuh. Idk tbh.

Rascal Does Not Dream: Not enough Kunimi.

Steins;Gate: I am sceptical that Steins;Gate benefits from being attached to the broader Science Adventure series, but I haven't delved that deep into other VNs yet. I might be partial there as Chaos;Head doesn't seem like my cup of tea.

Bocchi the Rock: Also donno.

Gundam 00: With the exception of G-Witch, I think romance is always the weakest part in Gundam, and that's true here too. I like Feldt, but I wish the show did more to show her develop as a character and grow closer to Setsuna.

Siilan2026-01-27 03:21

Re:Zero. I both like and dislike early Subaru. He's insufferable, deeply insecure, and very "teenager". It makes a lot of early episodes very hard and uncomfortable to watch. Especially when he barges into the royal selection meeting. But I also like it because it's realistic and sets up some absolutely phenomenal character development.

A Certain Scientific Railgun: The sexualized scenes in the first few episodes

Ok-Living28872026-01-27 03:37

Sword Art Online was my first venture into Isekai anime. And while it’s not _as_ egregious as some shows in that genre, I do dislike that the MC isn’t assembling a more diverse group of friends. It’s still too many women, who all gush oder the MC (the men too). It diminishes the supposed romance in my eyes. It’s not unique to SAO sadly. I view most Isekai as comfort food. Simple power fantasy. But why do ALL of the MC‘s "friends" have to be over sexualized horny MC worshipper?

Ginsan-AK2026-01-27 05:10

Mushishi - The fact that it ended.

Natsume Yuujincho - The fact that it's releasing so slowly.

Hikaru no Go - The ending isn't satisfactory enough.

No Doubt in Us - The fact that it ended.

Clannad After Story - Clannad prequel isn't as good as After Story, and the ending of After Story is quite controversial, but I like it.

Euroversett2026-01-27 05:26

Konosuba.

It's an overall great adaptation, but not as good as it should be.

Its tone is too silly compared to the LN. in certain moments where it shouldn't be. It's not as serious when it should be.

Kazuma killing himself ruins his character arc. The characters are animated acting like clowns, dancing around, jumping or doing exaggerated, weird body movements for no reason at all.

RealDreamnomad2026-01-27 05:38

I hate that so many anime seem to be written with weird pedophilia fixations where it is just completely off topic to the main story. Gate is a good example. The main plot about a portal opening to a fantasy world where modern technology faces off against a fantasy world is perfect. That is more than enough to build a story around.

But then it feels like the writers personal mission to bend the story around reasons why it is okay to have sex with children. It doesn't actually show adults banging kids. But the writer is bending over backwards to come up with excuses why it would be ok. This girl only looks 14. Since she is actually 800 (or whatever) years old and she is horny and consenting, it would be ok. Or the 13 year old girl wanting to marry the ambassador. In her culture it is normal to marry 13 year old's (gross) and if you don't marry her then she will be murdered.

None of this is needed! You could tell the exact same story and just make these characters adults and look like the adults they are and nothing is missed.

Japan and not sexualizing minors: Challenge impossible

The_Abyss_Of_Thought2026-01-27 05:43

Haikyuu!! is one of my favorite anime, but I hate the time skip over Karasuno’s remaining high school years.

The story spends so much time teaching us to value the process. Practices, losses, small adjustments, emotional growth. Then it skips the stretch where all of that work should collide with pressure and expectation. We watch Karasuno climb back up, then we don’t get to see what happens once they’re no longer the scrappy underdogs.

I wanted the messy seasons. The leadership handoffs after the third years leave. The weight of being a known team. The grind where talent stops being enough and maturity matters more.

College and pro volleyball works as an ending, but it feels like skipping the final exam after sitting through the entire course. I love where everyone ends up. I hate that we didn’t walk the last stretch with them.
