What was the most boring anime you've ever watched?

Sonny Boy, Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze, Haibane Renmei, Mushishi

I can only recall the popular anime that I found boring, I memoryholed the others.

your favorite anime

Serial Experiments Lain

I think the only thing that got me stucked on lain were the visuals and the desire to try to decipher what the creator meant with each episode
But some things were so vague and confusing that I just felt dumb in the end

I really need to watch one of those videos talking about it

just rewatch it enough times and it starts to make sense. ive seen it at least over 10 times.

your favorite anime

That would be nichijou

I think the only thing that got me stucked on lain were the visuals

it looks like shit though, ugly anime. Haibane Renmei is also ugly with the CGI backgrounds

Texhnolyze is dull but the I'll give it credit that visually it holds up well

i dont like the comedy very much in nichijou. it feels dry and unfunny to me. but it looks very nice, and it has a cozy feel to it. it was actually my first manga.

you have bad taste if you think lain looks like shit. it has great set design, better than 90% of anime. the art in general is one of its strongest points

it looks bad

Boku no Pico.

to you. i respect your opinion, but i think you're wrong and have bad taste for having it.

yeah now actually try posting the show in motion and not cherrypicked screencaps

Anything with mechas

What was your overall interpretation on it?

Why didn't you like the visuals? I thought some characters had ugly/weird faces sometimes but i thought it was purposeful and to make it scary

Nichijou is very special to me, i watched it during a quite hard moment of my life and it always made me feel very comfortable in a weird way, i don't know how to explain, it made me feel like a child again

lol. the animation is also fine.

inb4 cherrypicked

just admit you have shit taste

Nichijou, Tamayura and amanchu

Mouretsu Pirates. I expected fun pirate shenanigans and got a snoozefest.

what was your overall interpretation on it?

too complex and it varies every time i watch it, which is part of why i like it. there's so many different ways to interpret it that i can watch it over and over and get something new from it every time. i suggest paying attention to the color symbolism in order to understand it from a certain angle. for instance, the color red could be taken to represent corporate encroachment, with how all of the technology is red in the show (at least in episode one the mailman delivering lain's new navi is in red, lain's old navi is also red, as well as the mobile devices they carry.) it is important to me on personal levels too, which i dont want to get into.

Nichijou is very special to me

i get that, that's me with any of my favorite cgdct. hidamari sketch especially i watched during my friendless high school days (especially grade 11 and 12 where i didn't talk to anybody for pretty much the entire school years) and the characters in that anime felt like my real friends and made living bearable

Texhnolyze's lulls are an absolute slog, and after a point Juno Reactor was the only thing that kept me going to the each following episode. Things plod along at a geriatric pace, its turd-esque color scheme and dead-eyed cast makes gang warfare, rape and body horror feel like a chore, and by the time shit starts to go down you are struggling to not cheer for sweet release. The people on the surface were right, Yoshi was the only human being left in this stupid show.

Very immersive, really makes you feel like you're living in that setting. 8/10

but... if it's boring i stop watching?

scathing review for the first paragraph

8/10

It depends on the context but taking in count Nichijou entire purpose is to make you laugh and it failed at doing so, I guess I go for Nichijou.

completed: code geass
dropped: gundam

.hack//SIGN by far

this. godly soundtrack, boring as fuck anime. ive actually fallen asleep while watching it

I can't watch gundam wing without falling asleep

top kek
I remember being so bummed, cause the vidya game was pretty fun so I figured it'd be a bit like that
Nope. Just slow and boring. Such a disappointment.

Thank you very much, i noted your tips and i'll keep them in mind next time i watch it

and the characters in that anime felt like my real friends and made living bearable

I understand, i watched nichijou in a moment i felt very lonely too, the characters didn't felt like my real friends but all the cute moments just made me forget about the hard things in life, it's weird to explain, i just felt like a child watching their favorite cartoon after a long boring day
Everything was so innocent, cute and beautiful
I hope i feel the same with the incoming city anime

giphy.gif - 500x283, 504.92K

yeah i am excited for city, ive been reading that since it first came out. i stopped after volume 9 though

No joke. Watched like 10 episodes hoping it would grow on me, but it just felt shallow the whole way through.

Do you think city is better than nichijou? I haven't read anything and I hoping it will be a pleasant surprise

both of them are pretty similar. only difference is that in city the characters are spread across the entire... city, instead of just the same high school like in nichijou. the main character is in college and constantly in debt to her landlord, which is a funny concept so i guess you could say i like it more.

this one is bareable if you speed it up to 2x

Ergo proxy

It looks amazing
I checked and city director will be the same as nichijou, I don't see a problem with that but it's probably bad news for you...

It has been 14 years tho, he probably changed a lot specially counting that nichijou flopped on sales, i think he will try lots of new stuff

FL CL.
Not saying it's bad or anything at all, but of the humble amount of animes I've watched, that was the most boring.

Girls und panzer

hidasketch hiro but flat

hot!

idk how much of this is bait but bunch of tasteless niggers itt ts pmo

tsubasa reservoir chronicle
I basically forced myself to finish watching the season. I told a friend about that back then and he asked my why I would force myself if I didn't enjoy. That's the day I realized I just don't give a fuck about CLAMP and was just chasing what seemed popular.

You guys should lay off eating spicy food and eat more mild food more often.

And fat, right anon?

shinsekai yori. The characters were so bland that when they all forgot the name of one of their classmates, I realized that I forgot their name too. Then the show throws a gay sex scene in for shock value.

S;G surprised me the most with how bland it was. I really thought they were coming up with an interesting time travel story and it ended up being a big nothing. You could read All You Need is Kill years ago and get a better experience.

Beauty

I can’t remember this anime. no matter if I watch it. There’s something deeply wrong with it

IMG_7626.jpg - 2480x3507, 2.82M

heh... no. hiro is fat! FAT!

Texchnolyze

Steins;Gate was unbearable to watch for more than 8 episodes.

I was thinking of checking it out
How boring was it in your opinion?

gay sex scene

yuri or faggotry?

Gintama, unironically.

I don’t hate hack sign. Great music and aesthetics and even the general ideas and themes are interesting but it really doesn’t draws you in.

that anon is likely trolling. gup is one of the most high octane entertaining anime, especially the sequel movies

Fune wo Amu, in retrospect an anime about a guy joining the Dictionary Editorial Department might not have been the most exciting choice but I wanted to give it a try.

not him, but both. i wouldn't recommend the anime though, it's full of exposition dumping and random timeskips.

SHES NOT FAT
It's not boring i jsut wanted to troll, its not the best anime out there but its certainly not boring, especially if you like AFV's

raildex and fate are objectively bad and boring

SPBP

raildex

Correct, its literally garbage but misaka is cute

Fate

Zero is nice

d053c2.jpg - 1536x2048, 276K

Mushishi by far. This isn't a bad thing inherently and I enjoyed it

code geass

-4/10 bait I giggled a bit at least

raildex

Index no railgun yes

Fate

Gate is wide than boring. It is frustratingly bad

NGE and cowboy bebop

I made myself watch all of S;G on the promise that it would become a masterpiece but I don't think you're missing anything worth watching.

I dropped it when the two boys started making out. The only redeeming quality of the show is that the ED is a banger.

Another it was just really fucking bad. Like it's funny to watch with people but the anime itself is just not good.

I loved Casshern in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but I just couldn't finish this.
