My opinions on anime rarely ever match public opinion. In the end, I just gave up in trying to fit in and just started watching what I wanted to watch rather than going with the crowd.
I'm fine with people enjoying what they like, but a lot of times, it's not even about that. It's about having an e-peen and taste validation which I'm allergic to. People will just claim whatever series they like to be the best ever, not just to them, but to everyone else, and that attitude does annoy, because it's no longer about having different tastes, it's about having "right" and "wrong" tastes.
