As the title says, what's an anime that you didn't quite fancy yet everyone else seemed to go gaga for? And I mean it has to be ones that you thought you were painful to watch, so try to watch out for over rated/hyped animes that you still liked in the end. Otherwise, I'd list Lucky Star, Clannad, Geass, Bleach, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, ef - a tale of memories, maybe Evangelion, maybe the second half of Full Metal Alchemist, and others here.
Let's see, let's see, what shall I put here....
Spoiler
Elfen Lied - I'll admit, I thought it was interesting the first time I saw it. A few years have passed since then and after re-watching a majority of it to remember what it was about beyond "Cool, there's gore!", I hated it.
Strawberry Panic! - At least everyone else I've seen that's watched it seemed to love it at any rate. *sigh*
Loveless - Again, all of my friends that have seen it liked it.
Air - Only watched further for Potato.
Kanon - Only watched for Yukarin's character and oddly enough, her arc was the only one I kind of liked. So, yes, I dislike Ayu, Makoto, Shiori, and the other girls.
True Tears - Maybe I just can't connect with these kinds of romance drama stories.
Potemayo
Claymore - Teresa's arc was the only good thing.
Gantz
Inu Yasha - Maybe the dub ruined it.
Kanokon - I think most people that watched it liked it at any rate. Wasn't a guilty pleasure and I cried when Shindou Naomi was Chizuru's mother.
Excel Saga
Naruto - First arc was fine and then it got.... lengthy and boring.
PaniPoni Dash - A lot of it was actually painful for me to watch. The rabbit was the only thing that kept me watching, despite having not a lot of screentime.
DNAngel - One of the twins won a j-saimoe, so it has to have been popular, right?
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Yes, I said it. I honestly didn't like TTGL and if people didn't tell me to keep watching, I would have dropped it at around episode five.
[Insert popular harem animes here, even School Days] - I really cannot stand harem animes, ugh.
Edit:
Screw you lot and all this typical Bleach and Naruto hating.
Watch more anime. Or something. Fcuk, time for a sequel.
