Top Ten Guilty Pleasure Anime
Here is a list of anime which I take shame in liking. These animes might have deemed lame, stupid, perverted even ones I know are bad but for some reason I like them. Let's start this list shall we.
Pokémon, abbreviated from the Japanese title of Pocket Monsters and currently advertised in English as Pokémon: The Series, is a Japanese anime television series, which has been adapted for the international television markets. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, in the United States... read more I used to like this show when I was a kid, but now it's kind of weird. Seriously, they never explain what a Pokemon is, what a Pokemon master is, or why Ash wants to be one, etc. The characters are kind of stupid. But if I have all these complaints against the show, why do I like it? It's easy: the Pokemon battles. Enough said.
I feel bad about how people tend to hate this show. It's doing its job being relevant to the games, but differently!
My favorite anime! It used to be a guilty pleasure, but now it's something I'm proud of!
After the accident in which she lost her mother, 16-year-old Tooru moves in with her grandfather, but due to his home being renovated, is unable to continue living with him. Claiming she will find someone to stay with but also fearing the criticism of her family and not wanting to burden any of her... read more I swear if any of my guy friends found out I watch this, they would laugh so hard. It is quite a popular shoujo, I hear. Full of bishies, sweet but corny dialogue, and funny elements.
Sailor Moon is a Japanese shōjo manga series by Naoko Takeuchi. It was originally serialized in Nakayoshi from 1991 to 1997; the 52 individual chapters were published in 18 tankōbon volumes... read more
Bleach is a Japanese anime series based on Tite Kubo's manga of the same name. Bleach adapts the first 54 volumes of Tite Kubo's manga series of the same name. In addition, 4 anime-original arcs were broadcast in-between and during the adaptations of original arcs of the manga... read more Like Rosario + Vampire, I took no shame in liking this. I really tried to hate this show, but it was so good. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I really wanted to hate this, but I really wanted to know how it ends. The fact that I've seen all of the anime three times, watched the movie five times, and keep an entire shelf of the manga makes me a total fan of this show.
I have an elitist taste in anime, and I know this is just another generic shonen. That being said, I honestly don't know why I like this, but I do for some reason.
Premiering in 2008, this anime series is adapted from a manga by Akihisa Ikeda. It follows a human boy who accidentally enrolls in a school for monsters and becomes involved with a vampire girl. The series is known for its romantic comedy tone and fantasy elements. I actually take no shame in liking this, but I swore, I swore that I would never watch an anime that is loaded with fan service after watching The Familiar of Zero. (I didn't hate it, but I just can't take an anime that has so much sexual innuendo.)
This is one anime title I would always recommend, but the story was kind of stupid. Say what you want, but an all-boys school that dresses up pretty boys to look like girls just to cheer up the other students is just weird. This is probably the reason why you shouldn't send your kids to single-gender schools - they will be messed up for life. Other than that, I think all the other students at that school are gay. Enough said.
Sure, even though this anime has a pedophile (I don't think Soubi is bad, mind you... I loved the concept of this anime completely), I enjoyed it very much. The characters were very interesting, the magic was cool, and the art was awesome. I found this anime to be very pleasurable. I admit that I feel like a total pedo for watching it, of course.
Carnival Phantasm is a comedy OVA series based on the Type-Moon gag manga, Take-Moon by Eri Takenashi, the author of Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens. Ha ha ha... This is damn funny. How can the Holy Grail War turn into a game show? Laugh out loud. Other than that, all the characters were kind of OOC, which is probably one of the funniest things about this anime.
Free! is a Japanese anime television series directed by Hiroko Utsumi and produced by Kyoto Animation and Animation Do.
Nanbaka, also known as Nanbaka - The Numbers, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shō Futamata. An anime television series adaptation by Satelight aired between 5 October 2016 and 22 March 2017. The title is a play on words, combining the name of the prison, which is the Japanese... read more The concept is so weird and silly, but I can't help but enjoy it.
I love it, I love it, I love it! But Takano-san just barging into Ritsu's apartment is strange. Still, this is so awesome!
High School DxD is a Japanese light novel series written by Ichiei Ishibumi and illustrated by Miyama-Zero. The series revolves around Issei Hyoudou, a perverted high school student who is reincarnated into a Devil by Rias Gremory after being killed on his first date. He later joins the Occult Research... read more
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (Japanese: パンティ＆ストッキングwithガーターベルト, Hepburn: Panti ando Sutokkingu wizu Gātāberuto) is a Japanese anime television series. It was produced by Gainax... read more A show about two angels that get kicked out of heaven and have to fight demons in order to restore their grace! And there's lots of cursing, sex jokes, and shallow characters!
Sign me up!
Sonic X is a Japanese anime television series created by TMS Entertainment and based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega. The stories of the 2000s games are so much better than this, and I'd rather watch those on repeat than a full episode, but there's just something special about this show that brings me back to it.
This was a great anime, but some people I know keep saying, "No, this is a Sailor Moon ripoff." Well, I have a question to ask all of you: "Is Sailor Moon a male harem?" No. Okay, plus the story is so different. How can this be a ripoff of an anime I hate? (I hate Sailor Moon, guys, so what are you gonna do about it?)
Fairy Tail is a manga franchise created by Hiro Mashima. The manga has been adapted into an anime series produced by A-1 Pictures and Satelight, which began broadcasting in Japan on October 12, 2009. Additionally, A-1 Pictures and Satelight have developed seven original video animations and an animated... read more I watch "Ghost in the Shell," "Cowboy Bebop," and "Samurai Champloo" if I want to see well-written, intelligent anime. I watch "Fairy Tail" when I want to turn my brain off and enjoy endless, pointless fights, stupid humor, and fanservice. (Go, Erza Scarlet!)
I could name 1,000 things wrong with this anime, but it's so watchable and fun. I just keep coming back to it.
I love this show and its concept. Ako is a bit too needy and desperate in my opinion, so Riko is my favorite of the two. I started watching it to see what everyone was hating it for, and I ended up loving the show as a closet KissxSis fan. No regrets.
I watched the first episode. I kept watching. Enough said.
Is it bad that this anime is my guilty pleasure?!
I definitely would not want someone watching this anime with me. I don't even know why I like it, though - it's really addicting!
Beyblade is a 2001 Japanese anime television series based on Takao Aoki's manga series of the same name, which itself is based on the Beyblade spinning tops. It's stupid but fun. I like Beyblade because it's so ridiculous.
Hetalia: Axis Powers is a Japanese webcomic turned anime by Hidekaz Himaruya that debuted in 2009. The series anthropomorphizes countries and depicts them as characters interacting in both humorous and historical scenarios, primarily during World War I and World War II. The show has been lauded for... read moreBack then I took no shame in liking this but now that look back on it I kinda take shame in liking this. Probably because the violence in the show is SO brutal that I wanna puke. Plus I think the characters in this show are just SO terrible that I want to kill them with a salad fork. But not everyone in the show was bad I could find two likeable characters which would be Kei Kurono and Joichiro Nishi. Kei because even though he was a horny douchebag at first but the way he develops is wow just wow. Nishi because even I thought he was quite scary at first, he was probably my favorite character in this anime. He kind of reminds me of myself sometimes but unlike Nishi I don't hate everyone. Yeah say he's emo all you want but Nishi is the most badass character in this entire anime. Other than that if those two weren't in this anime I would have suffered a temporary amnesia because I would probably forget how to use my Ipad.
