What I can think of:
- One Piece's setting/story/characters/art style are very boring and I have no interest in watching it at all
- My Neighbor Totoro wasn't very interesting, pretty sure I started skimming it
- FLCL was terrible. My friend wanted to watch it with me years ago and by the first ep I was already thinking how bad it was. Finishing it didn't change that opinion :(
- I like the Pokémon 2019 (Pokémon Journeys) series quite a bit
Am sure there's more, but this stuff pops up from the top off my head.

This is going to probably be more controversial than my first post in here awhile ago, but I'm probably one of the very few people that doesn't like Cowboy Bebop. I don't know why. I've tried watching it many times, but I just don't love it. Never did. I liked some of it, but a majority of it, I didn't like.
Maybe it's because of that episode where that kid grew old. I am deeply disturbed by that type of imagery.
...Speaking of that another controversial opinion: I don't like Howl's Moving Castle because watching the main girl protagonist grow old is just that highly disturbing to me.

- Bleach is boring
- I liked the second part of Death Note with Near more than the first part with L
I almost never see anyone who feels the same way as me re: Death Note. Everyone seems to prefer L over Near but I'm the total opppsite lol.

Thank you. Someone finally seems to be on the same page as me regarding Bleach. I got through like 3-4 episodes and have never felt the slightest desire to go further.
Well that is controversial. Why?
You both hurt my heart.
I don't know that I have a lot of controversial opinions. I know that saying Digimon Frontier was the best iteration of the series' anime is frowned upon.
I guess I can say that I find Bleach to be the best of the Big Three.

Not sure why I didn't remember this one sooner.
JoJo is extremely overrated and I don't get why everyone claims it's the best thing ever made.
No I haven't watched it. I never will either.

I actually really like the 4Kids dubs and edits of anime. I think they're cute.

Oh, this one I can agree with too. :sweat: The censoring isn't great, don't get me wrong, but the voices they choose are generally really fitting and I've gotten quite attached to some of the dubs despite stopping watching them in like 2005/6.

hot take 0/10
Also, I don't understand the hype that Made in Abyss got when it aired. I still don't. I don't know if that's unpopular of an opinion, though.

Battle Tendency is the best JoJo part.
Might I chime in?
I don't like Hunter x Hunter. Tried giving both adaptations a watch, but they just weren't my cup of tea - and hearing about the constant hiatuses the manga goes through because of its author's health has discouraged me from reading it. The only reason I'm interested in it is to hear Hisoka's 1999 English dub voice - that of Brendan Hunter, who also (exaggeratedly, but exquisitely) voiced Elec Man in Mega Man: Powered Up.
On a related note, since the creators of this and the aforementioned series are spouses, I like the 90s anime adaptation of Sailor Moon better than the manga or Crystal. I just prefer the cuter art style over the uncanny doll-like designs for the characters, not to mention the anime's stories are generally more uplifting.
My last unpopular opinion is that Konjiki no Gash (Bell) isn't unpopular or underrated anymore. It got a sequel, for crying out loud! Honestly, though, it should have stayed down. Some of the jokes in it are extremely outdated, and the premise, while hopeful on the surface, is actually extremely depressing - which the sequel has dialed up to eleven. I used to love it, once upon a time, but now I just want it to fade into obscurity.

I, admittedly, have watched very little of Digimon. But I distinctly remember Digimon Frontier was the only season to catch my attention/investment as a child because I was absolutely enamored with the concept of people turning into Digimon.

The .hack franchise is infinitely better than SAO. SAO is practically a rip-off of it and a really god damn awful one at that.
I'm surprised that you feel that's controversial. I haven't really seen either to compare, but I feel like most people I know who have seen both feel this way. Then again though, SAO is a huge franchise so you're probably right. It's just wild to think about.
