Some anime look absolutely beautiful but their plot/story are just crap. We’re counting down these series and picking out ones like K, Kiznaiver, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, to see which of these shows look the prettiest but are honestly just paper thin. We’re not saying these shows are necessarily bad, they can be fun and enjoyable to watch – but they’re really not pushing any boundaries. What anime do you think has great animation but a lame story? Do you think we’re wrong about the SUPER DEEP PLOT of these shows? Let us know in the comments below.

K is on here? Wtf. Its not the best but its also not bad enough to be on this list, let alone #1.
Mrkakucity actors was great it was the ending that sucked
Why do you guys have a problem with sword art online? (Generally wants to know why?)
Suggestion of topic: 10 Most amazing Opera Houses in the world!
You guys are running out of ideas aren't you
Guess you guys from watchmojo are severely into fantasy and mecha anime.. Wheres other genres? Like shoujo, slice of life?
who is watching anime for deep storylines?
Watchmojo, what happened to you while making this top 10? Some anime where pretty accurate, but others… no comments
do a video about most overrated games ever.
like league of legends.
this is not a joke,this game is objectively bad.the graphics and the bug fixes are pretty much the only things this game did right.
-you move with the same button you attack(meaning that you cannot move and attack at the same time)
-if you attack an enemy champion close to a tower the tower attacks you(because as everybody knows,the best part of the games where you fight the enemy players is the gameplay mechanics that discourage you from fighting the enemy players)
-there are times where you have to wait 2 minutes to respawn(weird,i thought it was a team based game,why it has game mechanics tht discourage the team work?)
-50% of the combat is automated(if you want to destroy the enemy minions without really trying just right click on them and take your hands away from the keyboard and mouse and watch your champion attacking them automatically)
-you are suppossed to hide behind your minions all the time(tell me again why call of duty does not require skill)
-the neutral monsters have no reson of existance(they neither give you a shitload of gold nor come and help your team)
-it has too many champions(how am i suppossed to master every single 1 of them,some of them are basically the same champion.ever heard the phrase quality over quantity?)
-people level up and gain gold individually instead of leveling up as a team(meaning that kill steals are far more annoying in this game than they are in any other games)
-you gain gold only if you deliver the final blow on the minions.(what moron's idea was that?)
-each game either lasts too long or too little.
-the items you buy simply boost stats and you can barely notice the difference half the time and the trully good ones are fucking expensive
-the game barely rewards you with any way
-there are no achievements
-if you have jerks in your team and you want to leave,the game punishes you instead of punishing them.
-it receives a bunch of updates that don't do anything other than forcing me to wait 15+ minutes until i can play.
i am sure the game has more problems than these.none of them comes to my mind right now.
this game is basically a hybrid between call of duty and rock simulator.
This list is "Anime That Are All Style and No Substance", from this it follows that all at the level of selecting at what anime levels to watch this season looked like they might be interesting, but due to the lack of ambitious implementation of the project they did not work well. The very appearance on the list is not said that the anime was at the level of rubbish. It is simply their best feature to perform at the artistic level.
I don't think the problem with Kabaneri is it having no substance, I think the problem is it fell apart in the second half when it stopped focusing on the kabane as the main threat and instead brought in Biba.
Kabaneri knew where to stop with the wacky. Becoming a sentient zombie to fight feral zombies may have been silly, but at least it didn't devolve into the mess that AoT has now, what with that awful timeskip, Reiner being a PTSD-suffering coward, and all those new throwaway characters that just got overshadowed when the Scouting Legion destroyed the city. Kabaneri knew where to end with that ambiguous ending with no resolution in sight, while Attack on Titan is dragging it on too much with the crazy war nonsense that is so badly written.
EDIT: Also keep in mind that these shows may not appeal to western audiences the same way as the Japanese audiences. Things we see as cliche are repeated for a reason over there; it sells. That's why we get so many bad shows that get multiple seasons, like Sword Art Online.
sword art online.
Soo… Most anime these days?

#1… I have tried SO many times to finish that show. I do like it. I do. I always get to episode 4 when I rewatch it, and then nothing. But it's one of those shows that takes a lot of time and patience to truly hook you to it.
Surprised About K being on here, but Kiznaiver and Katsugeki Touken Ranbu kinda deserved a spot on here. Kiznaiver had a cool premise but towards the middle of the show it fell flat because it was rushed into 12 episodes. Touken Ranbu was just beautiful Fate animation with no plot, 3 characters out of 15 were actually interesting and a rushed ending.
Im surprised Psychic School Wars isn’t on here.
K and kiznaiver are two of the best animes I have ever seen like come on
WatchMojo still buying likes and subs? pfft gayyy
they put SAO in almost all of the good animelist so why is it not on this list where it shold be
The dan machi sword oratoria is side story in the series you should really look into this before you make a video.
Seperate light novel series that follows the story from the side of the loki familia and the pacing is alright about the same from the light novel. The characters if you had looked more into it have more depth then you would assume and the ending is a tie for the ending of the first season of dan machi and tht whole battle takes place while bell is headed down to floor 18. If you had watched the show before you would have caught on to this hell there was a small scene about bell and his party heading into the dungeon at the end which ties in the both series.
Lazy video this time guys
I expect K to be high on this list.
What? I thought anime as a whole is nuffin but cancer.
Salty………..
Watchmojo talking about substance…lol you guys are the last people who should be talking about having depth and substance.
K? feelsbadman i think it really is great
Thumbnail?
Any hentai ever.
List done
