Top 50 most overrated anime according to a Japanese fan poll

[Jazzy Stardust]

This is old, it's from 2012 I believe. Sword art shit wasn't aired back then.

Okay that's makes sense, because there's just no way it wouldn't be on there.

To be fair, you can't have an "overrated list" with such a small margin of viewership.

How well do you think movies like The Notebook or Dear John would do when rated by viewers that watch primarily Avengers and Lord of The Rings movies?

The fact that a majority of anime watchers watch for action and violence means that any anime about regular life or romance wouldn't be appreciated by that audience.

Well yeah, that is obvious but peope deny not being a fan of a certain demographic yet still play reviewer out of their comfort zone.

I'm just saying. Just because people rate these things, that doesn't mean they're right by any means.

I know, I agree with you.

SAO , Attack on Titan and Code Geass should all be top 10. Deadman Wonderland should be here too

 

[Itachi 4 life]

Ofc DBZ isn't on the list, it's literally the best anime ever.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

So most of the ones that people don't usually watch are overrated, lol.

Why is Gintama up there? Obviously I'm biased but I don't see how it's overrated.

 

[Jack Spicer]

I have no idea what any of these are.

 

[Bimbonium]

AoT should be number 1, and steins;gate shouldn't be on that liat

 

[Chakra Wizard]

Exactly how do these people define overratedness? I swear I'm looking at this list and it is all over the map with series and possible motives for them being on there. I see a few I like that I could still agree with (#2, #10, #12, #29, etc.), but how the heck do Madoka and Steins;Gate not live up to their reputations?

 

[Grim]

My top 5 is not on the list! I can live with that

 

[ToshiZO]

Lmao Gintama, Steins;Gate, Bakemonogatari and FateZero are overrated and yet we don't see SAO.
Shit list is shit.
Even Toriko Anime is listed as overrated. rofl

Can't wait for a Manga list. I bet they vote for Berserk as overrated.

Berserk is overrated.

 

[jiraiya lives]

Where's fairy tail?

 

[Chakra Wizard]

^ Enough people trash it for it not to be overrated.

 

[uchihamad]

Why gintama is in that list ??
