With zealous fans ready to put their favorite anime on a pedestal, many series are dangerously subjected to the fallacy of being overrated. While all shows have their strength and weaknesses, the list below points out some less-than-perfect series that have generated godlike hype by their keen devotees.
#1 Code Geass
Often compared to many anime masterpieces, Code Geass is an ambitious anime that tries to combine the strategic plot with the exciting mecha fight scenes. Yet this anime series falls short of all its predecessors like Death Note and Gundam, and instead is often presented as a dish of pretentious nonsense. The strategies are never explained – the main character is presented as a smart character only because those around him say so. The story is pestered with contradictions and incidents that only happened for plot convenience.
#2 Sword Art Online
While not being a bad anime, SAO has evident flaws that drag it down from its full potential. Started off with a strong arc with memorable fight scenes and well fleshed out character development, the series takes a deep plunge with its second Fairy Dance Arc. Suddenly the strong female lead is reduced to a damsel in distress, making one of the most powerful character into a changed person of weak personality – all for the plot’s sake.
#3 Bleach
Despite being a long running series with well-loved, iconic characters, it is time for Bleach to end after going downhill from its first three successful seasons. The series is known for its dragged out plot with many pointless filler arcs that carried little to no story relevance. Despite its past success, story must remain new and unpredictable to be sustainably entertaining, and stray from boring repetition and obvious plot holes.
#4 Naruto
Although this is a diehard favorite of ninja fans, Naruto is characterized by filler arcs and a predictable storyline. Does it really deserve all of its hype and praises? It really is debatable. While the anime itself has some memorable scenes, the plot is ultimately linear with flat characters that fall neatly into common stereotypes. At times entertaining, the main story of Naurto remains consistently dull and drawn out throughout.
#5 Fairytail
While starting out strong and entertaining, like the comparable series One Piece – Fairytail is a tale that stinks of stale, overused theme of “friendship”. Despite it being a teenage fantasy story that was never meant to be realistic in the first place, it does infuriate when main characters are seen to rise from near death battles in the name of “friendship” for the hundredth time.
