Unpopular Anime Opinion Tag

A lot of bloggers have done this tag already so it’s about time that I do it too. Yep, I’m totally jumping on the bandwagon here. I hope your impression of me doesn’t change too much after this. ><

A Popular Anime I Don’t Like

I didn’t like A Silent Voice.

I don’t like the idea of hanging out with your former bullies. I can see that Shouya changed but Naoko did not. Even after she was exposed for saying those mean things to Shouko, she still hung out with the group. The group didn’t really do anything about that. The only characters I liked were Shouko, her sister, and Tomohiro.

Everyone that I’ve talked to said that they loved the movie or that it made them cry.

An Anime Everyone Hates that I Love

I can’t think of one. I don’t really have a “guilty pleasure” anime.

A Love Triangle Outcome I Wasn’t Satisfied With

None.

I am not interested in romance anime with love triangles. The romance anime I watch don’t have a third person in the picture. Usually, the “third person” is not a threat or significant enough to harm the relationship. I wonder if this is an unpopular opinion.

Examples of romance anime I like are Recovery of an MMO Junkie and Ore Monogatari!!

A Popular Genre I Hardly Watch

I don’t watch mecha anime. (Sorry, Scott!) The only show I’ve watched is Code Geass… if that counts.

A Beloved Character I Don’t Like

These two. The anime is Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

I do not like tsunderes. I like characters who are more honest about their feelings. I felt like I was wasting my time with this anime.

A Popular Anime I Can’t Get Into/Not Interested in Watching

Okay, don’t unfriend for this one… JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

I’ve watched the first few episodes of the first JoJo and didn’t get into it.

A Popular Anime that I Prefer over the Manga

I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion but my answer is Durarara!! It originally started as a light novel series.

The manga wasn’t as memorable as the anime. The anime adaptation was unique. The first season of the anime was beautifully done and the soundtrack was refreshing to listen to.

Winter 2019 Anime: Closing Thoughts

The Promised Neverland

Synopsis: Emma and Norman are orphans who learn that they’re being raised as livestock for demons to eat. Together with Ray, they devise strategies on ways to escape the orphanage.

Thoughts: This was my favourite anime from the season. I highly recommend watching it. Every episode was suspenseful and there were so many cliffhangers. I can’t wait to see what happens next in season 2 in 2020! You can read my first episode impressions post here.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War 

Poor Ishigami

Synopsis: Kaguya and Shirogami like each other, but they are too prideful to admit it. Each episode is on them trying to get the other to confess.

Thoughts: This show had likable characters. Kaguya, Chika, Ishigami and Hayasaka were all great characters. Ishigami is easily my favourite character from the season, maybe because I can relate to his struggles. The last episode was sweet to watch. I liked how they involved all the characters and not just the two main leads. I was frustrated with how the show ended because I wanted to see more progress in Kaguya and Shirogane’s relationship, but this is a slice-of-anime anime so it’s not surprising. Kaguya-sama had great opening and ending songs.

My Roommate is a Cat

Synopsis: Mikazuki is a writer who doesn’t like going outside or interacting with people. His parents passed away in an accident and he lives by himself. Mikazuki meets a stray cat and takes her in for inspiration for his novel.

Thoughts: I enjoyed this anime a lot. I wrote about this show in more depth, which you can read here. The themes were on friendship and new beginnings. The last episode was really sweet and I liked that the focus was on Mikazuki and Haru, his cat. I recommend this anime if you like cats.

Kakegurui xx

Synopsis: This is the second season of Kakegurui, a gambling anime. The school is hosting a competition in which the student with the most points will become the school president. Yumeko is challenged by a number of students, each wanting to win.

Thoughts: Season one was good, but I didn’t really enjoy season two. The games lacked feeling. When I watched Kaiji I felt anxious and was filled with worry and dread. I didn’t feel any of that with Kakegurui xx. There was a very beautiful episode on Kiari and Sayaka’s relationship, but that was the only memorable thing about the show. The winner of the competition has yet to be to be determined.
