| There are some anime that everyone loves and you also acknowledge that it's great but you just can't get into them for some reason or another. For me, it's Re:Zero. I know that it's really good and a very well made anime. It's execution and pacing were great as well. But I, for some reason, just couldn't get into it. While the anime was great in every other aspect, I couldn't enjoy it at all. Somehow I sluggishly made it through season 1 but can't be bothered to watch season 2 at all.

| One piece because it is has almost a thousand episodes |
| Steins Gate. I legit had to chug through the first 6 episodes and they are so boring. I have it on my hold list but I don’t think I’m gonna be able to watch it |
 |
| Konosuba. I'm only about halfway through the first season, so my opinion may change, but I seriously don't get the hype. It's one of the most boring anime I've ever seen. Also No Game No Life. I've tried on three separate occasions to watch it, and each time I can't get past about the second episode. |

| Nichijou, mostly because it is a comedy and humor is subjective and I don’t find it that funny, so it ends up being kinda boring since the show isn’t trying to do anything besides invoking laughter. |

| If I can't get into an anime then it means that it's a bad anime. |

Yes, IRK? for me it was not funny as well. The artstyle was really good, and everything else was also pretty well. But the core subject of the show, The "Humour" wasn't funny to me at all.

I found both of those shows enjoyable. But I get what you are saying. Konosuba was fun for me because of the character interactions and it had some funny moments in it. No game No Life had the cool "artstyle" going for it, and its plot was mildly interesting to me. |

| Monogatari is good but I just cant stand the talking Its very hard to pay attention to |
 |
| I can also agree with Re:Zero, I liked the first season when I watched it but I just didn't get the same enjoyment value out of season 2 |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| Apparently, The Promised Neverland is pretty alright, but I just had no motivation to watch it. I saw the first episode and just kinda moved on. |
| Violet Evergarden. It looks really good, but I just can't seem to get into it. Kinda off topic but the same thing can happen when I read classic books. When this happens, I generally just try another time. |
| re:zero and konosuba for me as well, love live and dragon maid as well. isekai and cgdct just are not for me, i guess. maybe i'll give them a bit more of a chance. from what i have watched i recognized their merits, it's just not something i personally can get into. |

Huh. |
| I'm sure One Piece has a great adventure story. But those godawful character designs stop me from discovering that by myself. |
| One Piece and LOGH are really hard for me to watch entirely. LOGH, though, has some bland characters while One Piece has 40000+ hours worth of episodes. I don’t have time for that. |

| Monogatari Series. Too much dialogue and overall really tiring to watch, every episode felt like an hour for me |
 |
Dariat said: Monogatari Series. Too much dialogue and overall really tiring to watch, every episode felt like an hour for me As much as i love the Monogatari series i have to agree, it's not an anime that everyone would enjoy but when you take the time to pay attention to the dialogues and character progression it gets really good. The movies are action packed, almost like a shounen, but the series are kinda slow, yeah. |

| Beastars. Self-explanatory. I can't get behind the setting and designs and all |

Huh. The thing is, there are times when you can acknowledge that something is "good"! But you just cannot get into to it. And I had a lot of these experiences. Another example for me would be the movie "The Shining", Now I have seen that movie. I know, it's beloved and I also acknowledge that it's great because of how the movie was helmed, How the story was structured, the pacing, the shots, the lighting... everything was great in that movie. But again, I didn't enjoy it, now that doesn't mean that I should just disregard all of the facts that the movie itself was good and start hating on it? That's how my stance is on Re:Zero as well, I like how the anime is executed and I also know that it's a very well-paced, and well-directed anime, there's a lot of passion behind it. But sometimes, you just don't enjoy something even if it's good. Also yeah, a lot of people are missing the point of this thread :P People are talking about those anime that they don't like at all instead of those which they know are good but just didn't enjoy. Oh well... What can you do now XD |

| I have immense respect for Imagawa's adaptation of Giant Robo, however, I remember not being able to connect with the characters at all. Watching Getter Robo: Armageddon made me appreciate his cinematic flair and over the top sense of storytelling a lot more though. I'd probably like Giant Robo a lot more if I revisited it. |

| I have faced something similar to this problem twice today. Well, it is not because I cannot get into it. It's because I am into it and I am scared to finish it. One is not anime related. It is the film The Spectacular Now. The meeting and continued interactions of the two main characters are so awkward it is beautiful. They feel like they were either written by someone who has actually seen how two highschoolers act and talk or by someone who was so recently one. It is too real. And I am so scared of continuing because I do not want to see what the plot would do to them. So I closed that movie and scrolled through my movies folder and look what I found: Sound! Euphonium: A Brand New Day. Another film I cannot watch. I would probably love it too. But if I watch it, what then? There is no more Sound! Euphonium after this. I watch this and it is over. All I would have left is to rewatch the series for the nth time. I said fuck it and watched John Wick 3 instead. |

| hunter x hunter, I like battle shonen and I saw some scenes from chimera ant arc but all the mains look like pipsqueeks, can't get to like gon. I had kinda the same problem with magi, aladdin is too small but at least he grows and we have sexy scenes, hxh has 0 ecchi |

I watched the first episode of the original higarashi and have been watching episodes back to back today, yet didnt get into yakusoku no neverland despite being similar genre. someone convince me to watch yakusoku no neverland again please |
| Kaguya-sama: Love is War. I might give it another chance. Maybe next time. |
| My Hero Academia. I got bored halfway through season 2 so I haven't finished watching it. Hunter x Hunter also, I tried watching quite a bit of it but I just thought it was boring. I also didn't really like the main characters. |

| Gintama. Just ain't a fan of overreacting for the sake of overreacting. |
Moremi said: The Monogatari Series. I only managed to make it through all three parts of Kizumonogatari. I had to drop the rest after a few episodes because I just couldn't get into it. Also, One Piece. After forcing my way through over 700 episodes, I finally dropped it at the end of the Dressrossa arc, and it felt like load off my shoulders. Personally, I don't think either of them are good, just very popular. hah its both good and popular what are u talking about? atleast explain why u dont like the monogatari season lol and the movie was freaking awesome |

Yes, I know that feeling... this was the case with me, when I wanted to watch Back to the future movies, I watched the first 2 and then put off the third one because "There's no more Back to the Future after this". But I finally watched it and finished it. I rarely ever rewatch stuff and I just don't like to finish something that I absolutely love and never get back to it again T-T But fuck yeah, John wick is awesome XD I still prefer the first one over the other 2 but I love all the three movies. |

| I definitely would enjoy steins; gate but it's just too slow and I have other stuff I want to get to. |
 |
| Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. To be honest, I don't like any anime from Shaft. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| for me its HxH... i really like it, but i just can't get through it. i wish it was divided up into seasons, there's something about anime with over 100 episodes and just technically one season that makes it hard for me to focus on watching them, idk what. |
Moremi said: Natsude_tanaka said: hah its both good and popular what are u talking about? atleast explain why u dont like the monogatari season lol and the movie was freaking awesome Yeah, well, different people, different opinions. well, thats not good enough to say both are not good without solid reason rather different opinions lol |
|
| none. if an anime fails to entertain me i do not believe it to be good |
 |
| There’s a few. Death Note, Gintama, SAO. I don’t think they are bad but I just don’t feel like continue watching those. I watched Death Note Season 1 that was enough. |
