Most overrated anime (Your list)

Naruto
Pokemon
DBZ series
Bleach

each and every one

Cowboy Bebop. Overrated. I have no idea why this is rated so highly among so many people. Sure there are a few good episodes and the music is nice but it as an anime is utter crap.

i think whole shit is so overrated!

One piece (is stupid) and naruto ( fillers )

I think Code Geass is somewhat overrated, even though I did love it...
Also, Naruto; I do watch it (or read, actually :P but it applies for the anime as well), but it is so liked and succesful, far more than some of my favourite animes which I believe are far better than Naruto ever was...

I really wanted to like Evangelion, I really did. A girl I liked was in love with the series and story, so clearly I had alterior motives for trying to get into it. All I really got was an incredibly obtuse overarching plot with some mildly interesting characters thrown in. It ahd that feeling of someone calling something art, not because it is well made or even thought provoking, but because it is hard to understand and they don't want to seem like a total idiot.

All of it.

The best kind of anime is the kind that can stand by itself without using the anime part as a crutch. The only anime like this is Ghibli's.

All of them

K-On is really overrated. Same goes for Azumanga, I mean these jokes are barely funny. Just cute girls. And not really that cute, the only moment in these two anime that I've gone "d'aaaaw" - Chiyo in penguin costume

Also, Shingeki no Kyojin. It's good, but not as good al many people conider it to be. The last episode had TERRIBLE animation problems and the episode was clearly unfinished, even shitty shows with low budget are somehow finished before they air. Also, 3 previous episodes were boring. Blind fans can't see the flaws of that series, it's already #8 on MAL top anime list, even though it didn't finish airing yet.

Madoka - I find it juuuust a little bit overrated, as it was great, but many people consider it to be NGE of modern anime, which is a bit too much.

One Piece, Bleach and Naruto - those 3 were pretty nice at the beginning, but later they're getting worse and worse.

Fairy tail
Naruto

Screw them

Evangelion?

Sword Art Online, Shingeki no Kyoujin

Anime itself is quite overrated

Dragonball, Fairy Tail, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Sword Art Online, Shingeki no Kyoujin, Death Note (it's good but overrated imo)

Dragonball Z
Yeah I said it. It´s just the same story over and over again, they just add a few more energy ray attacks or whatever.

Naruto, Sword Art Online

List:

• SAO (Sword Art Online) - Way too much hype, story wasn't as interesting as I thought it'd be but that might have been the problem. I gave it too high of an expectation from what I heard, and was disappointed with what I saw.
• Angel Beats - I didn't find the story sad, and I didn't even see how it was so interesting. Seemed really dull.
• Death Note - Good, but really overrated
• Naruto, One Piece, Bleach - With the exception of Bleach, I found One Piece and Naruto interesting to watch, but it's annoying when people say they watch anime and the first thing they say are one of these three.
• Dragon Ball Z - Watch Dragon Ball
• Lucky Star - The jokes are very paper thin and cliche.
• K-ON - I liked K-ON, but it's overrated. When most people think of anime they usually point to characters in K-ON, which kinda makes me sad.
• Clannad - Sad story, but it doesn't define romance or slice of life. A lot of people seem to think it does though.
• School Days, Higurashi - They're very good, but similar to Death Note. They don't define the horror genre and many people like to point fingers to these two. (Well I suppose School Days can't really be considered horror anyways).

Haven't seen yet, but hoping they won't be overrated:

• Attack on Titan
• To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
• Hellsing
• Kaicho wa Maid-sama!

Tsukihime... Oops, my mistake, this anime doesn't exist.

Also, to people complaining Attack on Titan is overrated because the animation is going to shit: AoT is that studio's first ever anime, and they are so low on animators to make the series that they had to advertise on twitter essentially saying "If you can animate anything, we'll hire you." They have more than enough budget, but they don't have enough people to make use of the budget. That's why they're doing a recap episode next week: so they can catch up in the animation quality. and even if they can't catch up, the series will be fully fixed for when the BDs and DVDs come out.

Death Note
No other anime has to my knowledge been as overrated as that one (there are more than enough bad ones, but they're usually called out on it).

Anime is garbage, so all of it.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is quite depressing. You are literally the first person I've ever seen that dislikes it.

One Piece is very interesting, but I only had issues with pacing in the first 250~ episodes (and filler but I skip that). Now that I'm in the Enies Lobby Arc (263 to around 320) I seriously enjoy every second of it.

Elfen Lied is the first one that comes to my mind. Everyone seems to love it and put the show in their top x lists. I've watched it twice, once when it first aired and thought it was bad, so then decided to rewatch it a year or so ago as I thought I may have missed something, but nope, still bad.

Also, all the people harping on about animation problems with Shingeki no Kyojin - animation quality (to a certain degree) shouldn't really affect if a show "overrated" or not, you're misusing the word if you think that's the case.

None. People like different things
