The guilty pleasure anime category&nbsp;encompasses the shows&nbsp;you&nbsp;don't want anyone to know&nbsp;you're into.&nbsp;For some people, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-fan-service-anime/ranker-anime" target="_blank">these are&nbsp;fan service&nbsp;anime</a> - these series can be a ton of fun, but viewers&nbsp;might feel weird about them, either for moral reasons or simply because they'd be embarrassed to have someone walk in on them&nbsp;while they're watching. For others, a guilty pleasure show&nbsp;might be super cute in a way that doesn't fit their image.There's no reason an adult can't enjoy&nbsp;Chi's Sweet Home, but it may be hard to explain to a non-fan why they're watching a show aimed at small children. A handful of&nbsp;shows just aren't well-written&nbsp;or are only good in parts. If someone&nbsp;is a literature major who regularly reads the classics, they might struggle to articulate why they're so passionate about Yu-Gi-Oh!&nbsp;Regardless of individual taste, there are a ton of popular shows people wouldn't necessarily boast about watching.

The 15 Greatest Guilty Pleasure Anime You Secretly Love

Whether it&#39;s because of poor translations or ideas that were wild to begin with, some anime have some seriously strange titles. A few of these titles are short but strange, like&nbsp;Mangirl! -&nbsp;but it&#39;s actually way more common for them to be outlandishly long. In fact, some of these shows boast <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-that-went-on-for-way-too-long/taeyura?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the longest anime</a> names ever. Because it&#39;s only a two minute PV,&nbsp;If I don&#39;t successfully pick up 420 girls, I am going to die in a lot of different ways takes almost as long to read as the whole show does to watch.&nbsp;

Funny anime names don&#39;t necessarily equate to an equally ridiculous anime. Actually, some of these shows - Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai being a great example -&nbsp;are worth a watch. But some of these shows are just as silly as their names are.&nbsp;

Vote up the strange anime titles that make you laugh the hardest, and vote down the ones that just make you shrug.&nbsp;

While&nbsp;countless run-of-the-mill anime schools exist where the protagonist sits by the window in the back of the classroom and magically never does homework, there are some notable exceptions to this rule. A few bizarre anime schools fall under the tyranny of despotic student councils who may or may not use your life essence to feed clothing from space. These&nbsp;schools might not offer a typical education, but what they lack in algebra classes they make up for with a wholly&nbsp;unique classrooms unlike any you've ever seen before.

Must Watch Anime

Entertainment

Have you ever watched an anime that you didn&#39;t think you&#39;d like, but ended up loving? We all have our personal preferences, but sometimes we need to put those aside and let ourselves experience something that may not look appealing on the outside. Sometimes, we discover that we were right all along, but sometimes we open ourselves up to a great experience we&#39;d never have had otherwise.

Maybe you can&#39;t imagine how an anime about making dictionaries could possibly be interesting.&nbsp;The Great Passage&nbsp;may just convince you that dictionaries are the most fascinating thing in the world. Maybe you watched two episodes of&nbsp;Black Clover&nbsp;and dropped it because you couldn&#39;t stand Asta&#39;s voice and thought it was a&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;knockoff - a deeper dive may convince you that it&#39;s a worthwhile series in its own right. Maybe you passed on&nbsp;Princess Tutu&nbsp;because it looked too cute - give it a chance, and you may find that it&#39;s a much deeper show than you realized.&nbsp;

Are any of these anime that exceeded your expectations? Vote them up!&nbsp;

Some&nbsp;revolve around a&nbsp;single series like Gurren&nbsp;Lagann, My Hero Academia,&nbsp;or&nbsp;One-Punch Man.&nbsp;For more hardcore fans, a game may&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on anime from specific genres, like harem or slice of life, with the rules tailored to said genre's particular&nbsp;tropes. If you decide to try one of these games, have fun, but make sure to drink responsibly. Never drink and drive, obey your country's age limit laws,&nbsp;drink plenty of water, and, if you're gonna play the&nbsp;Inuyasha&nbsp;game, brace yourself.
