The whole 'One Piece is the best anime ever' take is getting old

I finally watched the first 50 episodes last month because of the hype, and honestly, it felt like a slog. The pacing is glacial, and the constant flashbacks to Luffy's childhood in Foosha Village killed the momentum for me. I get that people love the world building, but I think other shows handle it better without the filler. What's an anime you think is massively overrated?

Feel the same way about Attack on Titan. The first season was amazing, but the story got so messy and full of itself later on. All the mystery box stuff just led to a confusing ending that tried too hard to be deep. It's a good show, but the way people talk about it like it changed anime forever is a bit much.

The basement reveal was the exact moment the plot lost me.

My own basement is a plot hole.
