The Top Ten
1 Naruto Naruto is an anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. The manga was later adapted into a television anime, which was produced by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex. It premiered across Japan on the terrestrial TV Tokyo and other TX Network stations on October 3, 2002. The first series lasted 220 episodes, while Naruto: Shippuden, a sequel to the original series, has been airing since February 15, 2007. In addition to the anime series, Studio Pierrot has developed eleven movies and several original video animations. Other types of merchandise include light novels, video games, and trading cards developed by several companies.

Why do people hate Naruto so much? It's actually not that bad and if you take the time to understand, you will find it actually takes a different angle in real world issues like world peace, bullying, happiness, love, and things like that!

Destroyed the manga more than the late manga destroyed itself

Beans sucks for making this list, enough said.

I don't like naruto, for reasons I already said

That black-haired guy's only personality is being an average gamer boy just to make gamer boys watch this anime while masturbating so yea

Boring characters, generic plot lines with a lot of holes. Too many worthless monologues

Go educated and watch episodes of this anime or watch Crimson Killing Intent.

Jesus-kun seduces everybody within a 50 feet radius of him.

Ok bleach actually did suck. After reading the first 3 books I was bored.

6 One Piece One Piece is a manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. The manga has been adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced by Production I.G in 1998, and an anime series produced by Toei Animation, which began broadcasting in Japan in 1999 and has aired 851 episodes to date.

The show blends elements of mystery, suspense, and action as Conan solves cases while seeking a cure for his condition. Detective Conan has received critical acclaim and maintains a large international following.

Woah! Detective Conan is a great manga/anime! He:s not stupid, at least smarter than YOU'LL ever be. The show's popular, so of course people care about "some stupid mini- guy detective."

Who likes some stupid mini guy detective?

This anime sometimes had cruel words in it!

8 Attack on Titan Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014. It is best known for its emotional moments, apocalyptic setting, and its dramatic story line, and action packed scenes.

You are horribly mistaken if you think this is a bad anime. AOT and SAO the best!

9 Boku no Pico Boku no Pico is an anime series of three OVA episodes created by Katsuhiko Takayama. It was released to DVD on September 17, 2006.

As rotten hell as it is (you don't even have to watch it to say that to this anime), I don't think this was popular enough to qualify for this list. But yeah, it's great that it isn't so popular!

I don't know any anime, I choose this, cause it looks gay

Put it at the top! Why is this below Cowboy Bebop?!

Its child porn. enough said

10 Cowboy Bebop Cowboy Bebop is a 1998 anime television series animated by Sunrise featuring a production team led by director Shinichirō Watanabe, screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, mechanical designer Kimitoshi Yamane, and composer Yoko Kanno.

I mean it's well written and the dub is great but nothing really happens.

The Contenders
11 Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. Dragon Ball Z follows the adventures of Goku who, along with the Z Warriors, defends the Earth against evil. The action adventures are entertaining and reinforce the concept of good versus evil. Dragon Ball Z teaches valuable character virtues such as teamwork, loyalty, and trustworthiness.

Worst fighting scenes ever bad plots... This is defenetly the most overrated anime of all times. Dragon Ball is Superman but worse.

The Fighting is pathetic, the Story? Even worse. The Fanbase? Don't even ask

12 Inuyasha InuYasha is a manga franchise created by Rumiko Takahashi. It was adapted into two anime television series produced by Sunrise.

Actually low key best korean animation

14 Pokémon

This show is so bad. Every retarded creature yells some sort of stupid jingle, which is repeated over and over again. And the people are all wimpy, dark jerks.

This show sucks. They never change anything.

Pokemon is one of the best games ever!

15 Beyblade 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.
16 Boku No Hero Academia My Hero Academia is a superhero manga series written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 2014, and 20 volumes have been collected in tankōbon format.

It is predictable. Do not get me wrong, it is not bad perse, however, it uses all the tropes of a shonen anime which makes it not as interesting if you watched other shonen anime in the past. This anime seems to have been made with the help of a spreadsheet of what seems to be successful. Even though the premise of each "quirk" could have been used in a way that would have been interesting, but there are too many characters that are just bland and need to have tragic events happen to them just to be flushed out, which in my personal opinion removes the shatters the wall of disbelief (not in the world building or the reality that the story creates, but the relatability of characters). To end this short review, I do not recommend this anime to any serious fan of the genre, but it might be a nice intro into more mediocre anime for newcomers or it especially good for kids. I would actually recommend people to check out "Darker than Black" it also explores the possibility of people ...more

17 Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts, known as "bending". This show is often seen as one of the greatest cartoons of all time and is commonly thought to be an anime.
18 Clannad: After Story

This anime is bad and overrated, I suggest you go watch Ano Hana or Air.

19 Death Note Death Note is a Japanese television drama anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The show is centered around Light Yagami - a promising highschooler and aspiring detective with a strong sense of "justice".

Whoever put this on here probably needs a therapist

20 Legend of Korra
21 Puella Magi Madoka Magica Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, written by Gen Urobuchi, music by Yuki Kajiura, opening sang by ClariS, ending by Kalafina (sometimes by the seiyuus) and original characters by Ume Aoki.

No. It's not because it's a magical girl anime. However, it's because it flops hard trying to be dark and edgy. The magical girls that started out as villains, have disappointed greatly when turning good. There was one likable moment though, and that is Sayaka going psycho. The worst part has to be the ending where Madoka becomes a god out of nowhere. This anime is really bad. 2/10 from me.

22 Akame ga Kill Akame ga Kill! (アカメが斬る!, Akame ga Kiru! is a manga published in Gangan Joker authored by Takahiro and Tashiro Tetsuya. It received an anime adaptation that premiered on July 6, 2014 and ended on December 14, 2014.
