Sorry if it looked like it was specifically directed at you, when I'm making a general point I just reply to the last post, maybe I should reply to the first one? I actually wasn't sure how popular The Sky Crawlers was though, not least because even if a lot of critics liked it (and I do personally like it), I'd heard quite a few people say they didn't like it and it has less than 7/10 on here so I figured that it wasn't something that just about everybody liked? Anyway, I respect your opinion on the movie and I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, it's just that since clearly a lot of the public don't pay much attention to the consensus of critics when deciding what to watch I feel like just the opinions of critics don't represent the opinions of everyone, they're just one group of fans/people with an interest. I know it's more complicated than that, but I guess that's what I was trying to get at with my post.
Not that it's wrong to state your disagreement with critical consensus or anything, just that their opinions are just that, even if they're taken particularly seriously by some people for reason ranging from happening to usually agree (which is pretty much why I pay attention to what critics say, but will sometimes see something anyway even if they didn't like if I think I will - Hotel Transylvania is a prime example of this, I didn't know that it had received a rotten on RT before I bought it but I would have bought it anyway even if I had known because it looked like a really fun movie and I'm a fan of Genndy Tartakovsky, and I did end up really liking it when I bought it so my instincts were right), to wanting to feel intellectually superior to other people.

I prefer Brotherhood to the original FMA
How is that unpopular? Most of the fans of the original manga prefer Brotherhood to the original FMA series.
My unpopular opinions:
Hetalia is a terrible series.
Elfen Lied is overrated.
Vampire Hunter
Bloodlust is better than the Vampire Hunter D movie from 1985.
Romeo x Juliet is awful in every possible way. Even "Gnomeo & Juliet " was less insulting to the source material.
Naruto isn´t that good and Sasuke is one of the worst anime characters ever made.
Hunter X Hunter is better than Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. -

Sasuke is one of the worts anime characters ever made.
How is that unpopular? Most "Naruto" fans I know find Sasuke irritating.
-While the 2003 FMA is good, it's not without it's flaws. Wrath was annoying as hell, giving Envy a gender was about as unnecessary as revealing that the Force is the work of micro-organisms, making Hohenhiem
Envy's father was a Masashi Kishimoto-level beep twist
, Dante had a good concept to her, but
was defeated too easily
, and Fuhrer Bradley
died out of pure stupidity
.
-"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" was a terrible series with character that either had no personality (Yuki, Kyon) or were incredibly annoying (Haruhi).
-I think anime can be adapted into live action if put into the right hands. It's really like that with any adaptation.
-I think that there are Japanese voices more annoying than the dub voices. Orihime Inoue and Goku as an adult come to mind.
-On the subject of Orihime, I don't think she's the worst ever anime character. She's realistic because she doesn't want to fight, and her healing has saved many lives.
-Sakura Haruno is not the Aquaman of anime. She's actually useful.
Not necessarily anime, but Japanese entertainment related:
-I don't want Saban crucified for "Power Rangers." "Sentai" isn't this deep, adult series. It's a toy commercial that's been running for over 3 decades.
-On the subject of "Sentai," "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger" isn't perfect. I'm three episodes in, and the characters aside from the Green Ranger are either annoying or have no personality. Shinken Red is a self-righteous prick. -

Most "Naruto" fans I know find Sasuke irritating.
I know that Sasuke has many haters, but he also has many fans as well. As the Naruto TV tropes page says on its YMMV section: "there are fans who think he is just as justified in his actions as Naruto is." -

One Piece is one of the worst animes.
I have tried very hard to get into it, at least five times(1st on Fox Kids, dvds from Netflix in different areas, now Toonami). I just don't care for a single characters, too slow pace, guess I never really cared for pirates. I don't mind slow pace if I care for a character or main plot. I don't find the wackiness funny, it just feels forced.
Don't care for FLCL. I could feel my brain cells dying while watching. -

Cowboy Bebop is not that good
Spirited Away is not that good
I like Shiji Ikari. The only time I hated him was in The End of Evangelion
I like both FMA original and Brotherhood equally.
I never ship guys
I hate Light from Death Note, and L is not that great.
Asahina from TMOHS is annoying as hell
I hate Bleach and Fairy Tail in Japanese. They sound beyond awful. -

God bless you sir. Ive been trying to bring this message along to everyone for years but the English released Fist of the North Star movie marketed the film as nothing more than mindless over the top action. They need to watch the TV series.

Here's mine:
I can't STAND Crispin Freeman as Alucard in Hellsing. He has a smooth nice American voice but that is not what the character is at all. I can only listen to the awesome Japanese voice.
That being said - I only like Anderson's Scottish dub. I wish I could have Japanese Alucard and Scottish Anderson voices in a battle.

I actually hate the animation in Ultimate for that very reason. Those long arms and shark grins are silly.
Another unpopular opinion I hold is that TV series Alucard looked scarier than OVA Alucard.

Okay, here I go
- The anime of
Naruto Shippuden
sucks and doesn't do any justice to the manga at all - I prefer the 2001 English dub of
Akira
over the 1990 dub - I think
Soul Eater
is stupid and overrated
Fairy Tail
has the best English dub of any anime
And lastly- I think
The Lion King
is WAY better than
Kimba the White Lion
A Decepticon never retreats - Starscream (G1)
[Formerly CosmosX9]
- The anime of

Another one:
Princess Mononoke is the bets animated film ever
Tatum is the best voice for Sebastian, so superior to Ono
I liked the 2nd season of Darker than Black
Orihime from Bleach is average looking
My favorite role of Vic's is Tamaki from OHSHC
Bleach is the best anime
The End of Evangelion is a terrible movie
I like Shinji more than Asuka
Fate Stay Night sounds a lot better in English
Anohana is not that great -

I thought most people prefer dubbed?
It always seemed to me i was in the minority that I prefer subtitles. The only exception is Robotech. I like the dub and rewritten plot combining 3 separate animes into a sci-fi epic. -

Isao Takahata's films are better than Hayao Miyazaki's.
Hayao Miyazaki films from Princess Mononoke onward are boring, unsubtle, badly written messes usually with tacked on endings - It doesn't help that most people treat Miyazaki like some god of anime that must not be spoken ill of, it's a shame that he has become synonymous with Ghibli which robs credit from the other people at the studio (I don't mind his films up to Porco Rosso).
Innocence is better than Ghost in the Shell (I know this has already been mentioned in another post).
A show that has been edited and/or dubbed can be better than the original version - See Samurai Pizza Cats vs Kyatto Ninden Teyandee or Cowboy Bebop.

My opinions.
- Every Tenchi Muyo! series in existence is terrible.
- FLCL is horrible, i felt myself becoming dumber as subjected myself to each episode.
- Toriko is currently the best shonen anime.
- Naurto, One Piece, & Bleach all suck.
- Fairy Tail, while good, is horribly overrated.
- Dub is better than Sub.
- Durarara!! is better than Baccano!
- Gurren Lagann is not the greatest thing to ever happen, according to most, it is.
- Inuyasha should not have gotten The Final Act.
- Big O Season 2 is just as good as season 1.
- Deadman Wonderland is pretty popular right? it's a POS.
- Gun X Sword is a worthy rip off of Trigun & Bebop.
- I find Chobits extremely boring.
- I haven't & probably never will watch NGE.
- The last 13 episodes ruins Death Note.
- Eden of the East is completely average. Most tell me it's amazing.
- HSOTD sucked.
- Wulin Warriors is THE GREATEST SHOW EVERthat one was a sick joke.
That's all i can think of at the moment.
