When you think the show is so bad that it's actually good.
Have you ever felt ashamed to discuss a series you're watching? Did you stop watching it, though? No? Then it seems like you've got yourself a guilty pleasure anime, and that's totally cool!
We've all got our ideas when it comes to defining a great series. For some fans it's strong writing and an engaging story, for some it's relatable characters, other fans mention dynamic action and marvelous art style, and there's also a group of people who prefer stories with deep philosophical meanings that raise important issues. With that being said, it's obvious that guilty pleasure anime are going to differ just as much as fans' tastes.
Not all media has to be deep, sometimes we just want to have fun and be entertained without having meaningful philosophies and existential questions thrown into our faces.
Many fans mention Food Wars when they're talking about guilty pleasure anime. Culinary academy, cooking competition, and a lot of mouth watering food — all that sounds more like a reality show than an anime but a reality show could never provide this much fun and typical anime exaggeration. Some fans point out, though, that this series doesn't really awoke any guilt in them, it causes only pleasure!
A number of shows might be appealing because of their over-the-topness. Anime has always been famous for being over dramatic and highly emotional, and while for some people it might look unserious and be a con, there are still those who love it about a series. Fans mention Bastard!, calling it dumb and excessive but still admitting to enjoying it once in a while.
One more thing that's become quite relevant with fanfiction and fan content development is fan service. There are times when fans just want to look at pretty girls/boys and see them interact without any deeper meanings, and that's completely fair. Such titles as High School DxD, My Dress-Up Darling or Trinity Seven are mentioned when it comes to this aspect. After all, fan service is there to serve fans, so how can it be bad?
Speaking of shipping, we can't forget some BL titles such as Dakaretai Otoko No. 1 Odosareteimasu or Hitorijime My Hero. The viewers are there to see the characters interact, it's just that simple.
Some fans also mention Kakegurui while talking about guilty pleasure anime, which might be understandable since the anime, while having a curious story, is pretty over the top and filled with craziness and absurdity, but isn't that what makes the show so likable?
