| So what's the cut off point where we decide "ok this is going on the relations list"? The same for enlightenment. |

Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Gankutsuou and Monster should stay in the Enlightened list. They're far from poor. Fate/Zero doesn't deserve to be involved in the Relations list. Whether or not it deserves to be in the Enlightened list is still debatable though. I'll nominate "C". It was just bad. |
| I second C. It is to economics what High School DxD is to chess: utterly irrelevant, but wrapped in pretty gift paper. |

Maegil said: I second C. It is to economics what High School DxD is to chess: utterly irrelevant, but wrapped in pretty gift paper. Disagree! . . . the gift wrapping wasn't that pretty. |
| Gankutsuou and Monster are a bit overrated, but still amazing anime that should not even for a single second considered to be on this list of shame. I cast my vote on Horizon, Hidan no Aria, Black Rock Shooter, Another, F/SN and Gantz. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I vote for Duratarrarar!!!11!! and Black Rock Shooter for induction to the relations. Also, I don't think RahXephon deserves a place. It's mediocre at best, but not on the insulting level, and it currently doesn't have much hype. |

Oh, I forgot I voted for it already. Fair enough. At least I'm consistent?! |
|
| Also disagreeing with adding C. It wasn't good (although I enjoyed it on some level), that's certain, but it's also not particularly popular and its fanbase is basically non-existent so it has no hype. And I wouldn't call it particularly overrated either considering MAL's average score. |

Neane1993 said: If there's one fan-base I hate, it's the fan-base for Clannad. Clannadics irritate the hell out of me. I've come to believe that I truly am heartless for not being moved by that sentimental telenovela. Join me on the dark side. Help me put this on our relations list. |
| Clannad is overrated but not that bad so I'm against it to be on the anime relation. The same can be said with Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. |
 |
Ducat_Revel said: Ah, so it has to be popular? There goes Mars of Destruction. I nominate for Clannad. Well, I guess there can be exceptions but yes, popularity and being overrated (or at least overhyped by a part of its fandom) are among the most important factors to be taken into account when adding stuff. To illustrate, the club was pretty much founded because of anime like Guilty Crown and Sword Art Online. |

Neane1993 said: Clannad: After Story is rated as the 5th top anime here on MAL. Clannad: After Story is rated #6 at animeplanet Clannad After Story is rated 9.15 at aniDB (With an average of 8.97) Clannad After Story has a rating of 8.976 at Anime Network. Personally, I am the thought that it is overrated for what it is, a haram. I haven't seen very much of Clannad: After Story, and I've seen Clannad only up to a certain point. But I believe After Story partially owes its high score to the fact that it's a sequel to another anime. |
| I don't think it's disgustingly bad. I put it one the same level as Code Geass R2 but as seeing R2 is on our list, I don't see a reason to not involve Clannad. |
| That ending, Maybe they purposely made the first season incredibly crap, just so the people who are impressed by anything can see the second season and be absolutely amazed. I see through your devious tricks KyoAni. As for whether it belongs on relations we can poll after a few polls finish. |

SSC_Exin said: I see through your devious tricks KyoAni. As for whether it belongs on relations we can poll after a few polls finish. But didn't KyotoAni make Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid? I can't diss them until I see it first. That gives me time to rally haters to stone Clannad. Come one, come all, this is going to be a glorious execution! |

But didn't KyotoAni make Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid? I can't diss them until I see it first. Guys, Remember the incestuous lesbian twins who were naked half the time or all up on each other's pussies? They also removed an entire main character and arc from the Clannad anime because it wasn't "moe" enough to sell - as it was a male character (note; nothing gay though). They did this before as well - see FMP:The Second Raid in which they took a mysterious male assassin and turned him into twin lesbians who are incestous to raise sales. Funny how they never get bashed for being terrible at being loyal to the source material. The anime industry has hit hard times if they have to rely on incestuous twin lesbians. But until I watch FMP! The Second Raid, I shall not judge. |
| I'm against Clannad being added for a few reasons: >no pandering >as it is about family, it's universal and anyone can watch it and relate to it >actual substance I agree that it's overrated and it's definitely not the best anime ever, but it's not bad either. If you just want to add it to cause maximum butthurt then it's ok, but I'd still be against it. basically it's better than everything we have on the relations list and it's not some shallow fanservice-based shonen we get every season like SAO. |

I'm not talking about Afterstory. Just the first season of Clannad. When it was still a highschool romance. |
| Oh I see, well when fans talk about Clannad they usually refer to the second season, because that's what makes the series really worth watching. Then I wouldn't say anything. I don't remember much and I plan to rewatch the whole thing soon. |

So I wouldn't put it on either list. |
| Seitokai Yakuindomo. However (improbably) great it might be as four pannel manga strips, it plain sucks as anime - the jokes are served at a metronome rhythm, with the punchlines delivered over blank backgrounds with patterns or spinning spirals. Even if the art and animation weren't very good (when applicable) but extremely lazy to the point of inexistent (everywhere else), the jokes are terrible and often insisted on just to make sure you heard correctly. If you want good scatological humor, spare yourself the grief of this series and go watch Hen Zemi. |

It's a great example of fanservice done right without resorting to flashy action or tits and asses. I also find the jokes pretty relatable for a school setting. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| I'm somewhat apprehensive about Hen Zemi. Its score (studio and genres too, to an extent) doesn't make me eager to check it out. I know, I know MAL's scores aren't too reliable - but that's usually the case with anime that have high scores. In my experience things below 7 on MAL turn out to be mostly shit. |

Disagree Seitokai is a big fuck you to all those cute innocent and unrealistic harem girls and while half the jokes have terrible timing the other half are brilliant. is it even overrated? |

| How is "Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000%" not in the relations? It definitely is not so bad it's good, pretty enjoyable to make fun of though. |
| I vote for AnoHana I've even heard elitists overrate it... |
|
| Anohana had an AMAZING first episode, but then it got worse with each passing episode. |
