3 Reasons To Skip: Kiznaiver
Anime can take liberties with realism, but Kiznaiver is an example that just does whatever and expects you to stay invested.
3 Reasons To Skip: Nisekoi
A controversial take while everybody is still recovering from Christmas.

3 Reasons To Skip: Euphoria
Maybe if I read the visual novel I'd be writing a positive review right now, but I don't quite feel like seeking out more Euphoria.

3 Reasons To Skip: Kobato
It's hard to take the stakes seriously and be invested in the story when the plot will hand Kobato so many freebies.

3 Reasons To Skip: Green Green
Even if you go into it looking for some sleazy ecchi fun—as I did—Green Green still feels so thoroughly un-fun.

3 Reasons To Skip: True Tears
It takes effort to write a harem anime without a single likeable character in it, but True Tears pulls it off. And no, it's not deliebrate.

3 Reasons To Skip: EAT-MAN
A merc taking on jobs in a rough sci-fi world sounds like a cool, action-packed anime, but that is distinctly not what EAT-MAN is like.

3 Reasons To Skip: Dragon Pilot
a lot of the drama in Dragon Pilot felt immature to me, literally as if middle school story arcs were rewritten to fit a workplace setting.

3 Reasons To Skip: Magimoji Rurumo
Magimoji Rurumo feels like a product nobody in the creation process cared about. It only exists to fill space.

3 Reasons To Skip: Maid Guy
The premise of combat maids protecting their master from danger is fun, but Maid Guy forgot to actually put in any danger.
3 Reasons To Skip: You’re Under Arrest!
The big issue deserves a piece all to its own.

3 Reasons To Skip: A Centaur’s Life
A Centaur's Life keeps flopping between serious drama and carefree slice-of-life without any synergy between the two.

3 Reasons To Skip: Legend of Himiko
Whether you are familiar with this history or not, Yamatai as it's depicted in Legend of Himiko isn't that interesting of a world.

Satoshi Kon at his best.

Clothes (and personality) are optional

3 Reasons To Skip: Nightwalker – The Midnight Detective
I would love to know the story of how Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective was produced because—holy shit—it is pathetic.

3 Reasons To Skip: Corpse Party – Tortured Souls
Just like the characters in Corpse Party, you'll quickly grow accustomed to the corpse-littered hallways and random piles of gore.

5 Reasons To Skip: Hyouka
As low-stakes as the mysteries in Hyouka are, they still make unreasonable demands of the audience if they wish to participate.

5 Reasons To Skip: Yumeria
Even if Yumeria did want to be a parody, that wouldn't matter. What few laughs it gets are sparse and everything in-between was tedious
5 Reasons To Skip: Overlord
Purpose? What’s that?

5 Reasons To Skip: Gangsta
While this is an interesting premise to draw people in, Gangsta does a very poor job at managing the scope of its story.

4 Reasons To Skip: Island
Island is great at hooking you in with its strong premise and fascinating mysteries, but it falls apart when it starts giving answers.

5 Reasons To Skip: BOFURI
Many other series have done this premise before in more interesting coats. BOFURI's slapdash structure feels insincere.
BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.

5 Reasons To Skip: Geneshaft
It almost feels like Geneshaft was intended as a parody at some stage of its creation, before going down the edgy route instead.

3 Reasons To Skip: Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth
An objectively unfinished SOL anime

3 Reasons To Skip: Aim for the Ace (1973)
Aim for the Ace is desperate to make any amount of actual animation last, but its shortcuts are far too obvious and painful.

3 Reasons To Skip: How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno
She may be a genius inventor and president of her school's science club, but "love" is the one conundrum that Ueno can't figure out.

3 Reasons To Skip: Looking Up at the Half-Moon
Terrible melodrama and a lack of originality leave "Looking Up at the Half-Moon" without a leg to stand on.

5 Reasons To Skip: Devilman (1972)
It’s Devilman-themed, but it sure isn’t Devilman.

5 Reasons To Skip: Bible Black
The problem isn't that Bible Black is "too dark" or anything. Its grimdark plot just doesn't save it from being absolutely boring.

6 Reasons To Skip: Cautious Hero
At times Cautious Hero more closely resembles the loudest and crudest of American cartoons than an anime comedy.

10 Reasons To Skip: Higurashi Gou
Separate from any discussion of whether Gou should've been a sequel or not, I think we can all agree that it should at least be interesting.

5 Reasons To Skip: Alien 9
Licking children is probably illegal
