Full metal alchemist us by far the most over rated anime of all times, it's barely deserving of a 7/10, and I think that's being generous. I can probably give you 50 anime I've actually watched that are, as a whole better than it at all points
I personally didn't think it's bad, but I didn't like it enough to watch more than 20 episodes and I think I tried twice. Nothing hooked me I guess.
I agree. When I saw it was the highest rated of all time and a bunch of people I know recommended it I expected it to be some kind of masterpiece. It was just okay. I genuinely have no idea why people rate it that highly. I didn't start watching anime until 2019 so maybe I am just missing the nostalgia factor.
FMA:B is loved because it is just well-made, original source notwithstanding.
It is one of the rare cases in anime where a series gets a graceful, well-done ending. Its tone, storyline and pacing are complete, well-balanced and consistent in quality throughout.
Castlevania > Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba)
The only mildly warm part of this take is that Castlevania isn't really anime but western animation.
Demon Slayer has amazing visuals thanks to Ufotable, but outside of that the story and characters are as bland as, if not even worse than in any other painfully mediocre battle shonen to ever come out. If you look at shows as a whole instead of hyper-focusing on animation quality, pretty much anything with even mediocre writing will beat it.
Agreed. I personally can't watch any more Demon Slayer. It just was too stupid during the Entertainment District Arc.
That's on me though, since I've read through the manga and knew better. At least I get to sit back and watch all the fanboys getting pissed at the ending.
Yes, the first season felt good to watch but it quickly gets old. Just like Jujutsu Kaisen, there isn't a solid story or character growth to hold you to it.
These are two series I feel like I watch just for the sake of completion.
Based on my observations in MAL.
- Your Name > A Silent Voice
- Attack on Titan Final Season is better than its predecessors
Some of mine: Gintama doesn't deserve to top the rankings the way it does.
Bocchi the Rock is great, but not top 30 on MAL and AL great (and since people keep comparing them, not better than K-On either, although I do think it's unfair to compare the two as they're not the same type of anime).
Weathering With You is better than Your Name.
Not quite ranking, but I don't get the hype about Mushoku Tensei. It's an above average Isekai, but that's about it.
About Mushoku Tensei, the differentiating factor is that there is some visibly higher degree of effort involved in making it. The difference in art and animation quality is immediately noticeable (they take no "shortcuts" unlike all others), not to mention its deep world-building and how it treats none of its characters as black-or-white. At its core it is still just an above average isekai, but more importantly it's a high-effort endeavor throughout.
... it still could do without constantly bringing up sexual degeneracy though
