Most popular animes are over rated and only so because of social situations and people feeling that they have to enjoy an anime that all their friends like.
I'm gonna be honest, I won't watch an anime if someone tells me to, I prefer finding an anime myself because it follows my strict rules of genre and to be frank I agree 100% with this rant by the link in the OP.
Think about this, he mentioned K-ON which is a prime example, K-ON is so incredibly over rated it hurts.
Its a VERY slow and monotonousness anime where the story follows the same thing over and over again, But why is it so popular? because of what I mentioned above, I notice that about 80% of popular anime is shit and you have to skim the top of that ocean of shit to collect the cream.
tl;d
80% of popular anime is shit and incredibly over rated.
80% is kinda high but I agree on some points, a lot of the high rated anime are pretty overrated due to the hype of it.
Example School Days, I love boats and I will destroy anyone who say they don't like boats. 👍
