A controversial take while everybody is still recovering from Christmas.

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

The big issue deserves a piece all to its own.

Satoshi Kon at his best.

3 Reasons To Skip: Master of Martial Hearts
Clothes (and personality) are optional
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.
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.
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: 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
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.
5 Reasons To Skip: Overlord
Purpose? What’s that?
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: Kanokon
The Girl Who Cried Fox
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: Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth
An objectively unfinished SOL anime
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.
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: Seikai Trilogy
Some series are forgotten for a reason.

At times Cautious Hero more closely resembles the loudest and crudest of American cartoons than an anime comedy.
5 Reasons To Skip: Devilman (1972)
It’s Devilman-themed, but it sure isn’t Devilman.
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
5 Reasons To Skip: Alien 9
Licking children is probably illegal
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.
