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.
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: 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.
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: Overlord
Purpose? What’s that?
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.
5 Reasons To Skip: Lucky Star
With strong vision and dedication, Lucky Star could have turned out very interesting. Instead it's content with wallowing in old glory.
5 Reasons To Skip: Alien 9
Licking children is probably illegal
5 Reasons To Skip: Devilman (1972)
It’s Devilman-themed, but it sure isn’t Devilman.
5 Reasons To Skip: Seikai Trilogy
Some series are forgotten for a reason.
5 Reasons To Skip: Devil Lady (anime)
Why even adapt a manga like Devil Lady at all if you need to remove one of its most central elements to make it work?
5 Reasons To Skip: Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei
Discussing suicide through mediocre gag manga
5 Reasons To Skip: Witch Hunter Robin
Any time I thought that Witch Hunter Robin had hit its lowest point, it found all new ways in which to disappoint me.
5 Reasons To Skip: Revolutionary Girl Utena
Not as revolutionary as advertised.
5 Reasons to Skip: Junji Ito Collection
And where is Army of One???
5 Reasons To Skip: Those Who Hunt Elves
Rampant elf abuse
5 Reasons To Skip: He is My Master
There are so many better maid-themed comedy anime on the market that there is no point in ever picking He is My Master.
5 Reasons To Skip: Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Germany to the rescue.
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.
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: DNA²
4 skips in a row. When will the streak end?!
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: Kobato
It's hard to take the stakes seriously and be invested in the story when the plot will hand Kobato so many freebies.
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: Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba
Being the biggest anime of recent years comes with some expectations, which Demon Slayer frequently fails to meet.
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.
6 Reasons To Skip: Talentless Nana
I too am devoid of talent
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Magimoji Rurumo
Magimoji Rurumo feels like a product nobody in the creation process cared about. It only exists to fill space.
6 Reasons To Skip: Cautious Hero
At times Cautious Hero more closely resembles the loudest and crudest of American cartoons than an anime comedy.
5 Reasons To Skip: Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
I consider myself to be quite a fan of the original Ghost in the Shell movie, but have many issues with Stand Alone Complex.
3 Reasons To Skip: Sweet Blue Flowers
Sweet Blue Flowers is a 2009 romance anime created by J.C. Staff under director Kenichi Kasai (Bakuman, Amanchu)
3 Reasons To Skip: Beyond The Heavens
FEEL THE POWER OF MY MAAAAAAAAAAAGIC
4 Reasons to Skip: The Magnificent KOTOBUKI
Kate is just Fi from Skyward Sword.
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: You’re Under Arrest!
The big issue deserves a piece all to its own.
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.
