Top 10 Anime Most Hated by the Chinese

kung-fu-k-on-by-drpow.jpg

Chinese quizzed on which Japanese anime they hate the most supply a list topped off by such staples of otaku detestation as Death Note and Bleach, but also including the loveable moeblobs of K-ON!

The ranking, based on a 2011 survey of 3,000 Chinese men and women in equal numbers:

1. Death Note (6.1%)

2. Bleach (5.8%)

3. Initial D (5.5%)

4. Kuroshitsuji (5.2%)

6. Chibimaruko-chan (4.7%)

7. Crayonshin-chan (4.7%)

8. Captain Tsubasa (4.5%)

9. Code Geass (4.4%)

10. Sailor Moon (4.4%)

11. K-ON! (4.2%)

It should be noted that 47.7% did not particularly hate any anime at all.

Death Note is actually banned by the Chinese government for being harmful to the young, showing just how effective China’s state censorship is in preventing people from watching it, and just where Ishihara and company may have been getting their ideas.

Some differences between the sexes were also evident – men’s most hated anime were Chibimaruko-chan, Initial D and Bleach, whereas those of women were Death Note, Bleach and Kuroshitsuji.

On the other end of the scale, the least disliked anime were Conan at 45th with 1.7%, Doraemon at 44th with 2% and Ghibli anime at 43rd with 2.1%.

Of course, it hard to see any Japanese caring what the Chinese think about their anime – China in its infinite wisdom has banned Japanese anime from its TV networks and the vast majority of Chinese never pay for it in any case.

    Their taste in anime is almost as bad as their habit to put garbage where it shouldn't be.

    Most of these shows portrays a very Japanese style of characterizations and with Bleach, they show a ton of characters in battle Hakama and with samurai-style warriors destroying their enemies with impunity (which could be construed as something harkening back to the ultra militaristic Japanese days when it tried to invade Korea/China multiple times including the modern invasion/occupation which lasted 40+ years). It's totally irrational but that's the 'image' they see of it.

    Most of this hate seems kind of very biased without any sense of watching the actual show and getting what they're about.

    Also, just imagine the extreme hate of some foreigners if some super genius like Kira imposed death sentences to every criminal in the world. Especially from a Chinese point of view.

    I am pretty much sure that the Chinese has sent people to help Japan after the quake and tsunami in March. Didn't value life? Perhaps those corrupt aristocrate or some corrupt civil servant, but that's not all the Chinese.

    They did send help, but very little considering their resources. They sent a rescue team much smaller than the South Korean one.

    It was a nice gesture, but it was just that, a gesture.

    That said, I don't blame the Chinese PEOPLE. It's the Chinese government that is on a heavy anti-foreigner streak, creating blame on foreign nations whenever possible, fostering old wounds against Japan, brainwashing its people into abject fear and rejection of foreign ideas, opinion, creativity.

    In a way, Chinese people are just as much a victim as anyone. It's sad that some are so brainwashed, they still see Japan as a bald-faced brazen invaders (good for them that most of the extreme hawks of the era died in battle or executed).

    Agreed with Shippoyasha there, I'd chalk this more up to Chinese government indoctrination than the people themselves, who in general are quite friendly and warm to foreigners (perhaps acknowledging that's where their recent wealth came from, who knows), I think the world would be a much better place without the Chinese government, but as it is they haven't done anything so blatantly against international law (and no other countries have the resources at the moment) to justify getting rid of them and allowing the less repressive government the Chinese people need, as well as the world.

    If people have time to think around three corners like this they should go do something useful instead.

    you're overthinking it. It's not a rating, just a most hated list. Therefore most popular shows are on top of the list because people know about them more.
    approach 100,000 people (especially outside Japan) and ask:
    do you hate Bleach?
    and
    do you hate Clannad
    answers are "yes," "no," or "don't know it"

    more people will say they hate bleach. Not because it's worse, but because it's decently well known. People wont know Clannad.
    That said, Bleach is worse, but that's a coincidence.

    The Chinese goverment hates Moomin. A Moomin play was denied to be presented because it didn't make a clear split between good and evil.

    True story.

    I think the Hong Kong Chinese think otherwise, since those anime series that were mentioned are pretty the most popular in Hong Kong. So don't generalize!

    That's strange. Usually, it would be the other way around! Chinese mentality sure is weird!

    I think it's because of Orihime and Misa. Since they are too dumb.

    Kuroshintsuji guys are hawt though, I don't know where the hate from.

    I have no idea of Kuroshitsuji hate either. Um. It has gorgeous demon butlers with the story based in England... Does the torture backstory of Ciel Phantomhive bring up bad memories or something?

    Mainland Chinese hate England, especially the conservative ones, who can't forget the humiliation during the Opium Wars.

    WTH? The Opium Wars were ages ago!
    Who the fuck cares about those these days?
    Who cares about what his ancestors 150 years ago did?
