Finally all comes down to your personal preference anyway. And Oregairu got A LOT of fans(which isnt coincididence) and ofc they are always some ppl who do not like it or just find it average(well thats pretty much the case for most (popular) anime). But if you act like you are a veteran when it comes to anime, tell me about your favourites/unique ones.
There's a difference between personal preferences and good animes. Like for example, one of my favorite anime is Accel world, and I know that Accel world is utter trash, it's exactly why we have this conversation in the first place, you said that people who don't like this anime don't understand the protagonist, that's when you separated this, from personal preferences and something good. Not all the popular animes are disliked and such, it's not a hipster thing or whatever, it's just that lots of people seem to love anime where the protagonist become needlessly op with barely any background story, bad character development, nothing constant, no realism in the characters, with only fan service to cover it up, like SAO, but people watch it because, despite everything I said, it's entertaining as fuck, so people will tell other people that it's nuts, but because people haven't seen anything else, they will build up that idea that it's good, it's not hate because it's a popular anime, it's hate for all the reasons I've just told you, to answer your question, something that would be one of my favorite one that is, even though it's not really unique(it's romcom so...) is Toradora! and it is, by far, superior to Oregairu. And no I don't consider myself a veteran, there's like 10k animes out there, so I don't think I've seen a relevant numbers of them, I'm just talking about something that can be applied to everything, series, movies, animes, etc. If the subject would have been around personal preferences, which was the subject at first, I wouldn't have minded, reason why, I didn't post in the first place, it's only because you made the difference between personal preferences and something good, saying that people didn't understand stuffs about this anime.
