Face me now, bitch!

Just like the video game thread.

Heres one of mine. I actually like Shonen anime, particularly Fighting Series and all of its cliches.

...that's...not that unpopular. I think that's the majority opinion, actually.

Bleach is great, and has no more problems than any other Shonen I've seen.

Lucky Star is terrible and unfunny To be fair, although the dub was great and Lucky Channel got a chuckle out of me, I hated the first episode and have yet to brave the rest of this anime >.>

Oh, and I prefer dubs in general. There's far more horrible subs than dubs. Same with manga translations.

^^ Not on this Wiki it isn't.

Heres another. I actually Think Monster isn't all that unique and original and I think Naoki Urasawas art, while original and realistic, feels a bit Too realistic, in my opnion.

The stuff that happened in Death Note after L was just or nearly as good as the stuff that happened during L.

And look at the similar amount of people that hate Most Shonen series as a whole.

Shonen anime  *

isn't unpopular, though. It's really the opposite—it's just a matter of Love It or Hate It.

EDIT: (Oops. Ninja'd.)

But really, if a series you love has a sizable fandom or a series you hate has a sizable hatedom, I don't think your opinion counts as unpopular. An unpopular opinion would probably be something along the lines of "I hate Cowboy Bebop" or "I love Ikki Tousen".  *

My anime opinions tend towards either popular  *

or the nastier side of Love It or Hate It. Most of the series I hate have a sizable hatedom.

The Azumanga Daioh dub is awesome.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

Heres another one i have.

I love series with mindless fanservice and don't think it gets in the way of my enjoyment of certain anime series.

Ala Ikki Tousen and High School Of The Dead.

All I really have to say is that I agree with Roxas' first point. Bleach is a clear member of top tier of shonen, in my mind. Or, at the very least, it's in the second tier from the top.

Heres two more from me.

While I like the Series, One Piece is the worst of the Big 3 overall to me.

And I like Sakura Haruno post timeskip (Particularly later on in the timeskip, As she is one of the Most tolerable female Tsunderes, which i usually hate on the whole).

Orochimaru was the best villain in the Naruto series up to that point. Currently, the jury is out on whether Madara or Kabuchimaru will take that spot.

Oh, and also? Neon Genesis Evangelion was HUGELY overrated.

Dunno how unpopular that second one is - although there is a gigantic fandom for Evangelion, there is also a pretty large hatedom.

Speed Racer is an interesting drama that can totally be taken seriously if you can get past the voice acting.

Carl Macek was actually a competent translator who did his best to adapt Japanese works for American television while maintaining the things that made those works great, and does not deserve the negative reputation he wound up with (Al Khan, on the other hand, deserves all the hate he gets)

Fanservice is not automatically bad.

^^I don't HATE the series (well, I hate the English dub, but that's because the voices are annoying). I just didn't really get into it as much as most anime fans.

I'm biased against older anime because I dislike the art style/quality.

I dislike the art style of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt so much that I'm not going to give it a chance for that reason alone.

While Dragon Ball is a great series, I find that it hasn't aged well and is relatively poor by todays standards. Glaring Plotholes, the story started getting really horrible by the end of the series run, and I understand why Akira Toriyama Himself had wanted to end the series at the frieza saga (He himself stated in an interview that the series ended up becoing his most hated work ever).

I think Rumiko Takahashi's Newest work, RIN-NE, is her best work yet, and most of her Shonen series before it are not quite as good. Not bad, just not as good.

Okay I need a source on that Toriyama interview. If he hates Dragonball so much why does he make references/cameos from it in his later manga?

I really don't care for Spike's feud with Vicious in Cowboy Bebop. It's the most cliché and boring part of the show, and seriously dragged down my enjoyment of the series.

The Azumanga Daioh anime isn't very good.

The Studio DEEN adaptations of the When They Cry franchise are actually pretty good.

Spirited Away is way overrated and single-handedly soured me on Studio Ghibli's works.

I didn't like FLCL much because I expected something more frantic and insane.

I think that Shippuden Episode 167 was one of the greatest experiments ever broadcast, and I hope that one day my animation style will be a fraction as eye-catching.

^^^ Because he feels like taking designs from his older series, a lot fo Manga Ka with a bunch of works tend to do that. He stated he hates how the powerscale got too big, and the ending was him saying "Fuck this series, I'm finishing it now," no matter what the editors at Shonen Jump did to get him to keep going.

He also said that if he did do more on the Series, Mr Satan would be the main protagonist.

^ I agree with that sentiment.
