I have noticed recently that I have a few anime that I have no idea why I like so much. Most of these consist of magical girl anime like pretty cure and sailor moon and it got me wondering, does anyone else have any guilty pleasure anime?
Everything I like is flawless, only Anime others watch are bad.
Hentai maybe? You could also consider the amazing and incredible moe Anime a guilty pleasure, but I wouldn't.
Two of my guilty pleasures that are relatively recent are Bodacious Space Pirates and Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere.
My justification for the former is simple: why wouldn't you love yacht-club-members-turned-space-pirates.
The latter is just unabashedly goofy, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I still can't forget those Werewolves of London.
Pupa.
Hehe, Pupa's probably on the cusp of being a guilty pleasure/just bad anime for me. :) There was a lot of potential in the premise but they really botched up the execution. But it was such a bizarre train wreck it was hard not to look away. I'd definitely watch a 2nd season if by some miracle they ever got one.
Can't really pin down any guilty pleasure genres, but I do have a few guilty pleasure shows:
Danganronpa: The Animation: I kinda classify it as "so bad, it's good." I gave up on watching it seriously when I saw the purple blood XD
Ranma 1/2: I know the this is generally well-received, but I tend to call it a guilty pleasure 'cuz I got a lot of flack for reading the manga in middle school :''(
Brynhildr in the Darkness: Despite its flaws, I genuinely liked this show. It could be because this was the only Arms anime I enjoyed (even a little).
Mahoromatic: There really isn't anything spectacular about the series, but the titular character, Mahoro, is so sweet and keeps me coming back and watching. Plus, its a joint production between Shaft and Gainax, so that's pretty interesting.
End of Evangelion: I kinda see it as a trainwreck that I never take my eyes off of. I may not give it a perfect score, but I'm always super excited at the opportunity to watch EoE anytime. Also, it has probably my favorite soundtrack of any show/movie.
Yup, ecchi ones are mine. Somehow I haven't seen a pure ecchi on for a while...
Honestly, I do enjoy ecchis, I watch a couple or at least one per season depending how good it is and if it has a decent plot... sometimes I don't care about the plot if it has good animation and hot girls so I say "fuck it I'll watch it just for fun"
Other of my guilty pleasures is watch underated series and some series that people consider shit lol.
Yuru Yuri.
It's terribly annoying yet for some reason i still like it.
Also anything tragedy I like. Pls save mah soul madoka.
That bitter yet saucy taste it leaves in my soul is akin to when I eat all the cookies and want more but I can't have anymore because gone. I especially like it when it pretends to be happy but you feel like "No".
I have a bunch of guilty pleasures anime:
First off all, I love love super bad anime, like School days, Kakumeiki Valvrave and anything in between or much terrible than that.
Second will be _reverse harem anime, since I enjoy watching a couple of bishounen guys fight over an emotionless heroine while playing in the most "well-written" storyline ever.(For those who didn't catch that I was being sarcastic.)Example are : Uta no Prince, Amnesia, Brothers conflict etc.
Third, anything that has
yaoi or some BL actions in it I must to watch it and most of the time love it. (The amount of love I have for yaoi is more than it legally should be.)
Fourth, even though I'm I girl I just love anime for showing us cute girls doing cute things. ( That moe-thing is really just darn cute IMO)
Fifth, bad endings: my favourites are definitely the kind of ending where they just kill everyone of. ( Yes, I enjoys tragic endings-- Most of my favourite books have a bad ending.)
Sixth and last that I can think of at the moment , I enjoy bad animation more than that I actually should.
If anything, then it's probably the latter half of Oreimo. It's a legitimately good anime but gets really quite strange with all the incestin the specials and season 2. I do enjoy the show despite that though.
