The most overrated movies of all time in one list, ranked in order of how overrated they really are. Being overrated doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s not a good movie, or even a classic movie, it just means the movie&#39;s not living up to the hype surrounding it. Some of these overrated movies are <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-academy-award-winners-for-best-picture">Academy Award winners</a>, some are the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/100-all-time-greatest-comedy-films/cptron">best comedies of all time</a>, and some are even considered to be among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time">best movies ever</a>&nbsp;by some, they are all overhyped and don&#39;t quite live up to all of the positive attention they&#39;ve received. &nbsp;

These are movies that film critics hailed as brilliant, movies your friends said you had to see, comedies you would fall over laughing at, and dramas so deep you&#39;d never look at the world the same way again. Except that you did watch them, they did suck, and now you&#39;re questioning your friends&#39;s taste in everything. From Avatar and all the Twilights, to Love Actually (you monster) and Trainspotting (maybe? Up to you!), these are the films you hate, despite their popularity and/or acclaim.

Basically, what are some top movies that everyone loves but some people hate? This is by no means a complete list of overrated movies, but it&#39;s a whole bunch of them. If you know of a supposedly great movie that&#39;s overrated and not on the list of the most overrated movies, make sure to add it so other people can save their time and give it a miss.

The Best Anime of Every Genre

Are you looking for sad anime that will make you cry? Well look no further, because for this list we&#39;re ranking the saddest anime of all time. These series come from a wide variety of genres, but they share the commonality of being depressing as hell. Yes we&#39;ve included mainstream shows like Naruto, but don&#39;t even try to say that show doesn&#39;t have some of the saddest moments in anime history. Films are included here too, so you&#39;ll be seeing sad anime movies like 5 Centimeters Per Second and Grave of the Fireflies on the list below.&nbsp;

Sometimes even one death in an anime can cloud the whole series with sadness. Perhaps the saddest death in all of anime goes to Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist. The funeral and burial scene is notorious for making people cry, especially when Hughes&#39; daughter Elicia starts to ask her mom where daddy is (the scene is included below if you want to watch it).

Are we missing a really sad or depressing anime that you feel deserves to be here? Go ahead and add it to the list! How melancholy something makes you feel is subjective, so don&#39;t be afraid to add an obscure or less mentioned anime.

As of 2019, only one anime movie has been awarded the prestigious <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-oscar-winning-animated-films/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Academy Award for Best Animated Feature</a>. While&nbsp;Spirited Away,&nbsp;which won in 2002, is more than deserving, there are plenty of other anime movies that should have won Oscars too.&nbsp;The voters for the Oscars have demonstrated some serious ignorance&nbsp;when it comes to the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-world-to-live-in/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">world of anime</a>.

Let&#39;s take a look at some of the amazing anime that deserved an Academy Award. Hopefully,&nbsp;Spirited Away&nbsp;won&#39;t remain the only one, and the Oscars will recognize the great stories and&nbsp;artistic brilliance that anime has to offer. Though many wonderful anime movies came out prior to 2001, we&#39;ll only be looking at movies that came out during the years since the category for best animation was established.

Beastars&nbsp;takes place in a world where predator and prey animals have agreed to live in harmony. This means that eating meat is illegal and predatory animals must suppress their basic instincts. Though all seems to be going well, tensions rise beneath the surface - and some of those tensions come to a head in a high school drama club.&nbsp;

As such, this list isn&#39;t going to feature series that are a perfect match. Instead, it will focus on shows that contain one or more of the series&#39; key elements.&nbsp;

Some anime like Beastars&nbsp;share the series themes of animals of different species interacting together in a the world of humanity. These include&nbsp;A Centaur&#39;s Life, Aggretsuko, Africa Salaryman,&nbsp;and more. Others aren&#39;t about animals, but echo some of the show&#39;s more heavy emotional themes. Examples of these are&nbsp;A Silent Voice&nbsp;and&nbsp;March Comes In Like A Lion -&nbsp;despite the title, it&#39;s not actually about lions.&nbsp;

The best anime makes its viewers feel something substantial when the series begins. While some opt for excitement, others opt for soul-crushing misery. For this list, we&#39;re going to take a look at some of those&nbsp;anime that start out sad.

Many anime with depressing beginnings also have depressing middles and depressing ends, though most will have rays of hope somewhere in between. As miserable as the beginning of&nbsp;Attack on Titan&nbsp;might be, things only get worse from there. However, other series go on to become somewhat uplifting, such as&nbsp;Kotoura-san, a slice of life series with a largely positive vibe that seems wholly unexpected given its dreary beginning.

Since it was established in 1981, Kyoto Animation has been one of the most renowned anime studios in the business. They&#39;re known for&nbsp;a wide range of genres, including comedy anime like&nbsp;Nichijou&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lucky Star,&nbsp;dramatic and emotional series like&nbsp;CLANNAD&nbsp;and&nbsp;A Silent Voice, as well as slice-of-life and school club anime like&nbsp;Free!, Hyouka,&nbsp;and more. No matter what genre they&#39;re working on, the animation quality is always top-notch.

On July 18th 2019, Kyoto Animation was targeted&nbsp;in an <a href="https://kotaku.com/35-confirmed-dead-after-fire-at-kyoto-animation-suspec-1836473998" target="_blank">arson attack</a> that took 36 people&#39;s lives and caused severe injury for many others. According to the BBC, this <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49027178" target="_blank">tragedy</a> was &quot;one of Japan&#39;s worst mass casualty incidents since World War Two.&quot; Not only was there a profound loss of life and of talent, but much of their hard work was also destroyed in the fire as well. Despite these losses and the unimaginable pain that the survivors must be feeling, the company is working to rebuild and continue producing anime in the years to come. Numerous <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurenorsini/2019/07/26/after-arson-attack-fans-raise-over-5-million-for-kyoto-animation/#967ab967cb28" target="_blank">fundraisers</a>&nbsp;were set up to support the victims and their families, and to&nbsp;help the company rebuild.

Let&#39;s appreciate the best Kyoto Animation anime as the artistic legacy of those who lost their lives. Hopefully, the company will be able to bounce back and continue making strides in the industry for years to come.

Drama is a great genre because it contains&nbsp;some of the best character development that anime has to offer. The characters in drama anime deal with&nbsp;thorny love problems, class issues, mental and physical health issues, grief, and more. Not content to&nbsp;simply place its&nbsp;characters in these circumstances, drama shows how they respond, and how they change as a result. Things aren&#39;t all doom and gloom all the time, however - the best drama anime does have its moments of humor.&nbsp;

With so much wonderful drama anime out there, it&#39;s hard to say which is truly the greatest. Among the top contenders are&nbsp;Showa Genroku Shinjuu,&nbsp;a breathtaking generational saga about a man&#39;s journey to becoming&nbsp;a master of a dwindling art form. There&#39;s also&nbsp;A Silent Voice, a wonderful film about a teenage boy trying to make up for bullying his classmate because she was deaf.

Finding anime that doesn&#39;t have fan service is challenging, to put it mildly. Sometimes it feels like it&#39;s in everything, not just in genres like ecchi that are supposed to be fan service heavy. This is a problem. Not everyone likes fanservice&nbsp;or wants to see it all the time. For some, it can feel demeaning, sexist, or even predatory,&nbsp;ruining their experience of an otherwise excellent show. Even people who enjoy fan service don&#39;t necessarily want to see it when they are, for example, watching anime at their parent&#39;s house or on the bus.&nbsp;

Luckily, there are plenty of great anime without fan service out there, even if it doesn&#39;t always feel like that&#39;s the case. From slice of life to action adventure, there are anime in every genre that leaves out the T&amp;A and focuses on telling a good story.&nbsp;
