Ninja Robots

Joe and his friends wield three powerful mecha beasts against the emperor of Zaboom and his forces, but the odds are stacked heavily against them.

This just looks so bad i am trying to download it.

If you have one please post a anidb link or some sort of info link.

Edit: Who ever neg repped me on a post from 2005 fuck off.

[Munsu]

humm... maybe try picking something you have actually watched?


I don't know if it's the worst, but the only anime that i only saw one episode off and couldnt watch any more of it was Goddanar

[Rik]

I think the worst anime is Dragonball GT. It completely ruined DBZ and especially DB

[Crows_Kill]

Yeah, GT never should have been made. It was like someone took toriyama's aborted fetus of an idea for a db series and thought extra fireballs and even goofier costume changes and power ups would make it more palitable. Ugh.

Macross 7 is another good example of a series that never should have been made. Pure corporate marketing music cd selling comercialism.

[Board of Command]

Worst series I've watched is Fruits Basket. I still fail to see how so many people love this series.

I don't include crap like DBGT and Pokemon.

[Xollence]

Kyou Kara Maou, just because of all that homosexual characters.

[Foomanchew24]

I don't think it is the worse, but I could not make it through Azumanga Dioh for some reason. Got really boring for me after while, only watched like ten eps then I had to quit becasue there was better things to watch. Think of it now I would have to say that DBZ is the wors because of the whole constapation thing....om i mean the whole powering up thing and the fact that i could miss a whole week of the series and it would still be at the same fight. I do like DBZ but the paceing of it makes it a chore to watch.

[Turkish-S]

ragnorak the animation. the worst i have ever seen.

[GhostKaGe]

Yugo the Negotiator i found it to be the most boring garbage ive ever seen all he does is talk crap and arn't the hostages the ones who are supposed to suffer from stockholm syndrom not the negotiator

DBGT features pretty high up my list dragon ball should have stopped with gokus death/100th..ish death at the end of the cellgames saga

Yes Godannar started off as a very lame show trying to use fan service to win viewers' hearts. However, give it enough time and the story gets more interesting. It's not as bad as what some of you guys think......

[2:25]

There have been a few, but I can't really remember their names...
I do remember this one about a girl ninja called 2x2...(something something)

[Ryllharu]

Samurai 7, WORST Abomination of Kurosawa's masterpiece I've ever seen. After the first 2 eps, I was so disgusted I deleted the eps and watched the 4 hour original again. Then I washed my computer in various caustic cleaners just to get the stink out.

I've never watched the original movie by Kurosawa Akira, so I can't make comparisons. But I do know that the anime is not supposed to be based entirely on the film, it only borrows its ideas such as a person finding 7 samurais to battle bandits who are demanding rice from farmers. Again, I thought this anime was pretty good and does not deserve to be called the worst anime ever..... Pretty sure there are animes which are much much worse than some of the titles mentioned in this thread.

[Death BOO Z]

All small fries, ha?

you want real crap? try one of the following
Mobile shinsengumi OVA - female versions of the shinsengumi elite (okita, hijikata and Kondo) use magic sword and cars to battle a 4th bitch and her loser two sidekicks.
Guardian Hearts OVA - Throw in every magical firl style of anime you've ever seen, and remove any aspect of it other than the fan-serivce shit.
Firestorm - it's like someone took the old J.I.Joe cartoon and made it into a bigger piece of crap.
Blame! - I Haven't read the manga yet (not all of it) but the anime was just a few frames of people walking with crates from one spot to another.

I suppose it wouldn't be as bad if you never saw the original, but if you did...you'd know.

Another one I thought was particularly bad, probably not as bad as some of the others now, but I hated Now and Then, Here and There. 13 eps of material that could've easily fit into 6, some of the most boring characters I've ever watched and 3 or four eps of NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL. Some people like it, but that is the one of the worst anime I've ever finished.

Char's Revenge is pretty awful.
Pilot Candidate was notably bad as well.

Can't think of any more now, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

[Crows_Kill]

Pilot candidae. ouch. I had tried to forget about the little boys in hot pants piloting bad designed gay mechs. Thanks for the flash back.
I think you can add teh new xenosaga anime to the list too- I liked the game, but even havign played it, the anime story makes almost 0 sense, and if you havent played it, it actually makes negative sense to you- you will forget relevant details to other anime if you try and watch it. You have been warned.
Hell, this whole thread should have a disclaimer stating that watching any anime mentioned here in can cause permanent damage to your brain, seizures, uncontrolled bowel movements and extreme nausea.

[Aeon]

I have a tie between D N Angel and Godannar. Both were just plain bad.

[Goingin]

Godannar was baaaad....
But i did see it completely, that's the trouble with too much spare time on your hands and a big hdd (yeah, it's still there i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif )

[monkeyman]

Wow you guys have watched some stuff i've never even heard of. And while thats probably a good thing i'd have to say the one i liked watching the least was slam dunk and some baseball one that i can't remember. Some of you may like those two but personaly mabey its because i play sports but i don't like sports anime. The only one i've seen that i can stand is prince of tennis

[Foomanchew24]

Almost forgot but I did not paricularly care for Serial Experiment Lain, just not my thing way to slow and too complex to enjoy.

[Y]

Dragonball Z in a knockout.

[Deblas]

Some anime called Lets dance with papa. Biggest shit I've ever seen.

[Swallow Your Soul]

The worst one I downloaded and actually intended to watch was probably an oav called I Wish You Were Here...it wasn't that bad but it was boring as hell. Some series I started watching for the first ep or two but never really gave a chance cos they bored me were Read Or Die TV (I liked the OAV), Ninja Scroll TV and Final Fantasy Unlimited.

[Racso]

Here it is the biggest fuck shit of all(sorry about my dirty words but this deserve it) well
Sentimental Grafity.... Dam only the name Is so Creepy!!!!!
What tha Fuck Is this????????

I Wish You Were Here wasn't that bad... at least not to call it the worst...

Read or Die gets much better around episode 10... you should've stuck with it...

now NS TV and FFU i agree with you... they sucked ass

[PTX-003C]

worst anime ever?
i will say DBZ and gundam wing
semi worst will be seed destiny and pokemon

[Mae]

Piano was absolutely awful. I watched the whole thing since I downloded it in a batch torrent. I kept hoping something interesting would actually occur to redeem the time I spent on that worthless series, but NOTHING EVER HAPPENED! AHH!

[Darkcarnage]

i ahve to say dbz cuase mainly goku the only one that could ever win teh fights and took way to long to power up. miss a week and you jsut be at teh fight that take one fo 2 moves and it be over. everyone else was jsut there to get beaten up or kill time while goku was on hsi way and dbz gt make me wish i was dead.

i persoanly like lain i lvoe complex or well amde stories , or just odd ones lol.

i currently watching or watched bleach,rozen maiden,naruto,lain,FMA,FMP,elfen lied, .hack//sign god know waht else i watched i got 200 + dvds and 100 burnt dvd disc around lol

[2:25]

I liked Serial Experiment Lain i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[Death BOO Z]

wow, i can't believe i forgot 3 animes from my list.

1. Sol Bianca: it's like taking the regular dungeon crawling story and making it happen in space, and doing everything in a shitty way and going from anti climax to anti climax. it had a girl named 'Male' which they found during their travels at some anciet space ruins, and not only was Male really a girl, she was actually a normal girl with no hidden abilities whatsoever... what a let down! other than that, they had an episode where they travelled into some planet, used a computer to open up a 3D hologrum with pyshical presence, which then told them about a woman who once lived there, but was betrayed her husband, the evil haxx-er, and now her memory invaded the computer system and she wishes to be redeemed. At the end, they all get PMS and start shouting at each other for being too happy and not angst ridden.

2. Avenger: there are 3 cool things in this anime, the name, the kenshin look of the main charecter and the music. other than those 3, everything else was shit. it started out as a normal bee train anime, with a silent woman with a serious lack of perssonality, and some annoying boy/girl with her. and then, as the plot unfolded, it was made clear that there isn't any real plot, the woman just wanted to kill some ass, and the wasted 13 eps on her getting to him and then killing him, the reason was basically unknown, and while there were some clues as to why, it was to boring to connect the obvious dots from 'bad guy killed her family' to 'bad guy becomes hero' and then to 'she goes to train' and finally 'she starts her revenge against bad bolding guy'. A complete waste of time, no plot twists and too much time spent on close ups of the charecters eyes.

3. Sonic underground: now this was a piece of shit, best thing was the voice actor of the wolf, who was the same guy who did Kith in futurama (watched this one in english), i was managing to forget it till I watched spongebob today, and there was a part there which reminded me of this piece of crap... basically, there are three sonics, who were abandonded as babies becuase the dude was going to kill them, and they grew up to be a 'rebllious' rock band who sings about love and friendship and trust, and when they play music, they shoot beams of power which can cure good guys and attack bad guys, until they run out of blasting energy and they have to stop playing, and then they recharge by playing the exact same song they used to blast earlier. basically, after watching this, Sonic lost his coolness for a long, long time.

wtf you fag, ninja robots rocked. I remember It used to be on tv at midnight on cartoon network.

[Board of Command]

Cmon guys you gotta exclude stuff like DBZ and Pokemon. Those shouldn't count.

[chiia]

Voltage fighters gowcaizer. It had the be the absolute worst thing I ever watched in my life, I should have known better than to watch any anime that comes on cinemax. http://animeacademy.com/finalrevdisplay.php?id=160

[Crows_Kill]

Anything with the words "demon beast" in the title. Horf. Not even good in a pr0n way, just plain bad.
And I'm as much a fan of art house works as anyone, but I thought "Angels Egg" was just pure over hyped surealist bullshit. No plot, just lots of boring and over-symbolic randomly animated pieces of dreck sewn together to give stoned movie critics something to try and interprit as "art".

[Noir]

Yugo the Negotiator.
Psychic Academy.

It was like The Passion. Yugo would just take a beating everytime..... great..... negotiating was so lack-luster.
Psychic Academy was an anime that seemed like it was trying to be hentai without going into that category. Because of that any kind of story played on the back end. BOO!

[DDBen]

Hands down Kodoma Library (this title could be slightly off) This was litterally a anime about being a librarian in a town where nothing happed. No this isn't a tale about a town where something was about to happen in fact the episode I saw was about someone who forgot to return a book so the want to be Librarian attempts to tract them down and fails only to have the book mailed back. I will double check the title but I'm sorry nothing even comes close.

[Arcn3ss]

Avenger was a waste of my time, I rather do school work. I watched all 13 episodes, and hoping there was going to be some good ending that tied everything together. Oh how i was disappointed. The ending was the worst thing about this series. I cant even bring myself to look at it again.

[yallo]

The Slam Dunk manga is really nice, but the animation was just terrible, which is such a waste. Samurai 7 isn't really that bad. I actually watched the movie before watching the anime, and true, lots of stuff were changed. But I guess all adaptations leave some room for imagination and creativity (if not, what's the point of doing an adaptation at all?) and it's not that bad really.

Hmm worst anime ever... *thinks*
Well I never made it through Noir. The opening few episodes were pretty good but it got slow and boring and I fell asleep halfway. It didn't help that the subtitles were horrible and off-timed. But I don't think it deserves the title of worst anime ever.... probably Dragonball is the worst anime ever imho. I was forced to watch a few episodes of it last summer and it was pure pure pure torture.

[Munsu]

yallo... you got no clue what you are talking about

Slam Dunk is awesome...

Noir... is an aquired taste, but certainly not the worst, i liked the series...

Dragonball... come'on you can do better than that... dragon ball doesn't deserve to be the worst....

now, Haku-san... Avengers was pure shit, i agree with you... early episode fights made it look promising... such a waste of series after that...

[Board of Command]

Noir is certainly different, but it's nowhere near the worst.

[Lefty]

Tekkaman blade II. I thought it was the worst thing ever put down to cell. Granted the first one wasn't the greatest seires ever made but it was entertaining to watch and had it's good moments atleast.

[Munsu]

dammit are you being serious? im halfway from downloading this series in boxtorrents... it better be worth my download

[Terracosmo]

Sword For Truth

Some of you might have seen this gem on VHS somewhere complete with a wonderful dub.
Quick synopsis:

A samurai with a swastika on his back goes through a city and gets his money stolen by a thief whom he later fucks. Meanwhile a princess engages in a lesbian orgy and afterwards gets kidnapped. Swastika guy sets out to save her and defeats various badguys on the road (some of these being a spider-looking guy with a gasmask who makes webs and a turtles reject who dances on lamps in a river), later they face off against a steroid-pumped guy with a beard who slashes female ninjas up and their dresses conveniently fall off to reveal their boobs everytime one of them die. The movie then unexpectedly ends as a fist-fighting retard snaps the neck of a rich samurai and says that his daughter, whom the latter wears a photo of, is pretty cute. This has nothing at all to do with the rest of the movie. All of this accompanied by the best dub ever done.

Seriously, see it, it's brilliant.

[Knives122]

so you want us to see this movie because the dub is good(even though its horrible)?.......alright I'll give it a try

[Terracosmo]

I was sarcastic. Don't see it. Unless of course you want to be defeated mentally and have a sensation of being castrated by a chainsaw.

Btw the opening of this epic 60 minutes samurai movie is awesome too as it features horses being slain for no apparent reason!

[Knives122]

yeah I dont plan on seeing it; my sarcastic reply at the end was not that obvious...although the slaying of horses is tempting

[Terracosmo]

You'll get all your expectations fulfilled as you see the glorius black blood (yes it's black, guess they can't afford red) along with the superior animations (half of the movie is composed by stills)

[Munsu]

i think i have the dvd-rip dual audio by a4e somewhere... i'll check it out and see how "good" it is

[Aradama]

Baku Tenshi
Fafner

Bakuretsu tenshi was promising. After watching the first ep. I thought the plot would get more interesting....it didn't. Not that it was the worst ever but surely nothing to write home about....I was able to atleast watch the first ep. unlike Soukyuu no Fafner....that thing was God awful. What a waste of time for A-Keep who subbed 11 eps. till they finally realized wut a piece of crap it was. 11!

[Terracosmo]

Oh and Samurai Deeper Kyo sucks too.

[Death BOO Z]

god strike me with lightning if i understood how they got to the final battlefield (those who watched SDK know what i mean), I mean, sure, the grand ninja demon and the spanish samurai (watch the dub, he't totally spanish)can send them to diffrent places, but i really wasn't expecting this...
and after tha, what the hell happened?

[Grim smile]

my first post.

id say the worst would that rein the emperer or however the hell you say it.
if you know what i am talking about then you will agree with me.
i dont even know if that counts as anime.

[Def_X]

Does everything suck just because it gets on CN? Just cause it got dubbed? Or is it just because younger people like it more? You have to look at DBZ from the standpoint of when it came out and whom the anime was meant for. Anyway, worst anime I ever saw... For an anime I actually saw all the way through I'll say "Star Ocean" for the unoriginal story and blah characters. I might also say "Narutaru" for how messed up the anime got.

[Munsu]

the messed up portion of the show is what saved it from being mediocre

[Def_X]

Maybe, I will say I usually love dark story, but killing and basically raping 12 yr old girls is just too much for me. Maybe if they expanded on the world domination story they were working on I would have enjoyed it a little more.

[DDBen]

Ok Noir is HORRIBLE it moved so slow the grass was growing and I found myself unable to finish watching it.

Samarai Deeper Kyo was increadably mediocre but I have seen worse its still a terrible series but not close to the worst.

Slam Dunk had amazing biplay I don't like Basketball yet the series always entertained me it doesn't belong anywhere near this topic.

I forgot to mention Avenger and Peacemaker (whatever) both of these series took a good premise and did there best to make the anime as uneventful and boring as possible. Now that takes tallent.

[DeluxSkillz]

Samurai Champloo, Soukyo no Fafner, Texnohlyze, DBGT, Last Exile, Ikkitousen, Ninja Scroll TV, Noir, Madlax there's some more but i can't remember them right now

[Def_X]

Noir!? That's one of the best animes I have ever seen. It moved slow like and old movie cause it was supposed to have a dramatic effect. It may not have been an action packed Naruto series but it was tense. It's like unfolding opening a piece of mail that could change your life (ex: SAT scores/college acceptance letter). Maybe it was cause I saw all 24 eps in one day so I didn't wait a year but I still thought it was great like Gunslinger Girl (which I did watch slowly).

[Rei-chan]

Dark myth, Pokemon, Beyblade.. and some freaking weird high school anime with mist and girls dissappearing. =_= What a waste of time...

[darkshadow]

lol yeah teknoman 2 is really bad i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif lol, also stupid hentai scenes in it ( like the girls getting there clothes torn of magicly when the transform, haha its really stupid)
teknoman however is awesome, so i kinda understand all those who watched after 1 i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif ( but 2 sux !!!)

[rix117]

there are so many bad anime i don't know wich one to pick

Anyways... I love that anime..



One I have seen some of and Don't like are:

DragonBall GT

G Gundam also.. I've seen the first few episodes.. and Don't like em much.. But I'd like to see more before I make up my mind there...

[r3n]

worst ive seen is probably hack sign, i dont know how so many people think its good. its just so dull and fucking boring! stopped watching after about 12 eps, and i only struggled that far in the hope that it would pick up. it really was poor

[Xollence]

Nope, I just don't enjoy watching homosexuals hitting on the main character type of situations.

[DDBen]

I personally have to back him up on this. Just because you don't approve of homosexual behavior and don't want to see it doesn't mean you are afraid of it in any way. I think its disgusting and I have absolutely no interest in seeing it. That goes for guy on guy and girl on girl. If you want to see it fine thats completely your choice to make, however I'm free to think that it can ruin a otherwise perfectly good anime. I for one completely gave up on Samarai Shamploo due to the episode about the redheaded swedish guy comming to Japan because it was "The land of Anal sex". I honestly didn't think there was ANY reason for it and I personally was greatly offended by it expecially when they were showing off the picture book.

[TruthofMistake]

Berserk.... i watched the first 16 episodes i think it might have been 12 (or some other multiple of 4, i borrowed the dvds from a friend) and that was the biggest waste of my time ever, the animation sucked plot was boring and i didnt like any of the chars.

[ChaosK]

i think it was called blue genisis or something like that, it totally SUCKED ASS. inuyasha wasnt that great either....and i really hated...ooo what as that show... crap!!! it had the guy, his name started with a t....it was on CN for a while, there was T something 1,2 and 3 i think. Tenshi or something?

[TruthofMistake]

it was tenshi muyo and that was a decent series but tenchi universe and tenchi in tokyo or whatever the hell that was both sucked god were they horrible

[ChaosK]

YES that was what it was tenshi universe i HATED THAT.

[Ryllharu]

E.Y.E.S. of Mars (or something like that) was another god awful movie I saw a long time ago. How many freaking ways can you rehash the "brilliant civilization destroys itself and becomes Atlantis (obviously to destroy itself again)" plot?

If you thought Berserk Sucked you need your eye's checked. There is also no way any 12 year old should be watching that series its easily 16+



Originally posted by: TruthofMistake

its Tenchi Muyo not Tenshi for starters and if you were watching those on Cartoon network you've never seen the series.

If your picking either Berserk or Tenchi Muyo you have obviously never seen a bad anime.

[Death BOO Z]

I'd like to give a special mention to Mouse anime...
while it's not nearly the worst anime i've seen (as you've seen in previous pages, i've watched a fair share of crap), it's defintally one of the more annoying, they took a rather intresting story (everybody loves phantom thives stories!) and turned it into utter crap with flashed out ecchi scenes...
seriously, the hero had three side assistants, each with her own 30 pounds of meat on the cheast , and all three kept boggelling (note; i'm quite sure this isn't a real word) thier tits around the episode, taking all the screen time away from what could be at least a medicore action/comedy anime... and then they wasted half of the show on flashbacks which were supposed to show how the three nymphomaniac girls become the hero's sex slaves...

anyway, it was crap, i still watched it cuz it was up for http download, the only intersting point of the story was that one of the girls had a rape fantasy, which is something you don't usually see in animes...

oh, TruthofMistake, you might want to download any of the series mentioned in the thread, it'll give you a little idea on about how bad a show can get. Really, dissin' berserk and tenchi as the worst? that'd like saying your life is over becuase you missed an episode of naruto.. you've got to get yourself some standarts...

[TruthofMistake]

If you thought Berserk Sucked you need your eye's checked. There is also no way any 12 year old should be watching that series its easily 16+

eh everyones entitled to their opinion and i thought it was bad and btw im 17 where did you get 12? and i need my eyes checked? oh and sorry my spelling of tenchi was incorrect i dont really care and i said tenchi muyo was decent but tenchi universe and tenchi in tokyo were both horrible dont bash ppl for their choices its an OPINION thread where ppl voice theirs to contribute....

[TruthofMistake]

-mess up-

[Terracosmo]

Actually, if you dislike Berserk, you -aren't- entitled to your own opinion. In fact, it's illegal!

[Kovash]

Anime I've hated but don't remeber enough to elaborate:
- Fist of the North Star (does this count as Anime? I can't remember...)
- Project A-KO (little girl jumping on missiles... it seemed rediculous at the time)

Anime I hate and remeber why:
- Tek<u>NO</u>man (Fucking Translators need their brains checked, took out all the best bits.)
- Goku: Private Eye/Detective (Told the badguys his weakness a billion and one times, but they never clued in?)

Anime people seem to hate, but I like:
- Dragonball/Z (the first two 'sagas' were good, but GT was pure crap.)
- Pokemon (I acctually enjoy the occasional episode, though I can't stand more than 3 in a row.)
- Beyblade (I don't think it's the greatest anime out there, but it's the one that makes me laugh the most.)
- Kyou Kara Mou (How can people hate this?)

[Death BOO Z]

How can you not like Fist of the north star?
The movie was awsome enough to keep me shouting 'omoi wa mo shindeyru' for a week, and then the OVA's kept me screaming that for another one, and by the time i've watched the series itself, i was going 'nana no kizuko otaku' for a month...
how can you hate it? it's got 'no bulshit' wrriten all over it!

note: time is streched on withouy belief in this post, it hasn't been a week since i've started watching HnK...

[Ryllharu]

Well, I remember Project A-ko, and yeah, its pretty stupid, basically an excuse for fanservice, but hey, it was 80's anime.

I enjoyed it for its total lack of depth, it was a rediculous anime with healthy doses of humor, fanservice and violence. You may not remember it, but I'll sum up just about all of it. (And yes, the names ARE that stupid) B-ko, jealous of A-ko for some stupid reason (popularity, strength, C-ko likes her more, something stupid like that) straps herself into some incredibly skimpy "Battle Suit" (but can you really call it that when its goggles, boots, gloves and a bikini?) They fight A-ko's winning, C-ko cries, eventually gets kidnapped, the two girls (A-ko and B-ko) blow up some alien battleship and save C-ko.

Sure its stupid, but some times the dumb stuff is good for a laugh (or after you watched Eva and really depressed).

<u>Anime I hate because it was awful:</u>

Shaman King. Don't get me wrong, the manga is great, but they MURDERED the series. Then of course, 4Kids turned it into a bigger abomination.

Wolf's Rain. Music's great, and the animation is nice, but that's it. Too bad the series needed a real plot. And before I forget, four clip shows in a Row!!!

Dirty Pair Flash. I've never seen the originals from the 80's, but I hated this series after watching just one eps. I can't really give a decent reason though.

Berserk was made in 1997, of course it didn't have good animation...

Besides that, if you didn't like the story line or the characters... you should probably die soon.

On another note, I'd like to make the destinction between my least favourite anime (Teknoman) and my favourite anime (Tekkaman); short answer, Teknoman sucks, translators butchered the storyline and took out all the extra character development that made Tekkaman so great.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and they added "OOYAH!" and "TEKNORANG!" kinda crap to TekOHMYGOSHIMSOLAMEman's lines. we don't need a name for EVERY FRIGGIN weapon he has, NOR do we need him to shout it out like we have no idea what's happening on screen.

If you think any dub is bad you should watch any episode of the dubbed One Piece it will make you claw your eye's and ears off. They edited out all the blood. Made a cigerette into a lollypop. Changed all the music so that they are rapping about pirates. Then there is the fact they replaced the Marines guns with super soakers and popguns and renamed them the Navy. Oh and we can't forget changing the rice balls into cookies and then after smashing them on the ground editing the image of them being tossed into one of the main characters mouth to have a perfect cookie on top of a pile of mush. Then we have the fact they changed Zoro to Zolo and Luffy D Monkey tover to Loofy. and we can't forget the fact they found the most irritating voice actors on the planet and perfectly matched everyone to someone that acts nothing like the character.

Teknoman was pretty butchered but one piece is a abomination followed closely by the "Tricked out" version of Initial D , which happens to be so bad they included the orignal as the "Classic version" on the DVD's and can only charge $12 each i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif.

[Jurojin]

two words:

Dragon Drive.

[ChaosK]

i hate pretty much all animes that were ruined by putting them on TV after they've been dubbed, besides DBZ (note Z not GT)

beyblade was stupid from my point of view, u had a spinning top and dragons came out, same as yugio OH GOD I HATED THAT.

[darkshadow]

lol those anime ( beyblade, yugioh and pokemon, medabots ) are in dutch here i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif, and its really not that bad, man i love medabots !!( metabee owns you all with his laid back additude)

[SK]

all those pokemon wannabees, metabots, beyblade, digimon, etc etc etc. i just seen a dumb one the other day also, something chronicle.

Mmm... I'm also from Belgium (I think you are to because of the Dutch thing) but I don't like it when they speak Dutch in anime it makes it sounds so.... wrong. Bud I have to admit that with Medabots it didn't bother me that much

On Topic...
I was really disappointed when I saw Akira the movie. Not because of the animations or anything like that, but The story line was so much better in the manga

[ChaosK]

whats a medabot?

[Honoko]

movie: crimson wolf. lame plot, contrived reincarnation love story mixed with even lamer fights made me temporarily doubt the quality of all anime when i first started watching this stuff.

It's more for childeren, but I had some good laughs with it

Just looked it up: Medabots homepage (http://www.medabots.com/)

[ilovegregayres]

Astro Boy-stupid gay no-nipples android
Reign: The Conqurer-Saw like two frames...guys wearing fag clothes...that looked like bikinis (the girl thing works for momiji but no one else)
Go Shogun: I got a minute into this and turned it off because my ears began to bleed.
A Wind named Amnesia-Would be good if it didnt have 1980s graphics and sucky no talent voice actors
Shamanic Princess-one cool character but over all booorrringgg
Bean Bandit: Only because they changed the voice actress for Rally. It was originally Amanda Winn in GSC bulletproof...but it was changed in BB....errrrrrrrrrrrr there are others...but I cant bare to relive them....

[ilovegregayres]

im sorry this may be a complete stereotype anime that all otakus will cringe at but i was watching the disney channel (there was nothing better on so shut up before i spray you all with axe until you smell like men) but there was a show called Battle B-Daman and I *gulp* enjoyed it.....

[ryan92084]

i've seen prolly half the ones mentioned in here and at none of them wanted me to run at the creator and demand the past several hours of my life back (well pilot candidate was a close one)

the only one series that i truly hated (and invoked said reaction) was silent mobius
i only saw the series and not the movies .... but seriously you get to the end of that series and you realise that with the exception o people dying and the main chick getting knocked up absolutely NOTHING was accomplished

[XwingRob]

Peacemaker Kurogane and Last Exile

Kurogane because nothing happened until the last two episodes, and even then there were some plot points left unfinished.

Last Exile because it just got boring midway through, and I felt they didn't really explain anything about Exile.

[Rhanfahl]

Actually I just reacquainted myself with the classics earlier today, by watcing Fist of the North Star and Vampire Hunter D. Not really the best animation, but come, 1986! What the fuck to you expect!? The best fucking computer out was something I can't even remember the name of that was the predecessor to the 386! That shit was all done the old fashion way! And the Dragon Ball bashers... That's old school too, most people (younger in general) don't seem to know that Dragon Ball and in some cases Dragon Ball Z is older than they are. That was good shit at the time, and I still don't mind watching it every now and then.

As for worst anime ever...there's too many to name one, my personal opinion is anything with.
1. Magical Schoolgirls

2. Who am I kidding...anything with schoolgirls is pretty much bound to suck (generally)

3.Cutesy anime

4.Adolescent Dueling anime (Pokemon, digimon, dual master,etc.) Come on!!! don't you have school, or family? Kids being alowed to battle each other over childish dreams with creatures, (biological or mechanical) that can wreak havoc on the world around them!?

5. "The French Stuff" This is the pretty shit you see a preview of and are compelled to watch...several hours later you only find yourself wondering "WTF did I just subject myself to watching?" This is the shit where at the end of the show, and several years later even you still haven't figured out what the hell was going on or what the point of it all was.

This reminds me of when my friend made me watch Digi Charat in French... I can't say that was one of the worst I've watched though since it was still pretty damn funny without understanding what was going on.

[masamuneehs]

back when it first hit america i sorta liked pokemon and DBZ... but after awhile the shit got so repetitive... MY POWER LEVEL IS GREATER THAN YOURS!! and just screaming and screaming for episodes while they power up and everyone comments on it..... god...

I disliked Pilot Candidate as well, but thought it not the worst. If I remeber correctly there were one, maybe two good episodes.

Worst ever = Loveless. No I had no clue what it was about when I downloaded the first 4 episodes. My god. My god. Horrible action! I don't mind the homosexuality in anime (thought Fred Lowe was actually a nice touch in Outlaw Star, and Kyou Kara Maou is sometimes funny in that respect too- although the show itself is lacking-) but this takes it to a new level! Michael Jackson people...

I like to remember Loveless as the name of that play from FF7... not this POS

Why does being on TV ruin anime? Just ignore the TV and watch the fansubs. I hated when they put Kenshin on CN and gave him that Canadian voice. Still Kenshin remains in my top 15 animes.

[masamuneehs]

I do agree that there is so much lost in translation and cut for younger American audiences. I've cringed a couple times at various voice actors for different dubbed shows in America (DBZ, Kenshin, Gundam Seed) and I often laugh out loud at how terrible some of the American VAs are at things like shouting, screaming in pain, or just saying another character's name with a heavy emotional emphasis (Inuyasha).

However, as someone who got into anime BECAUSE of dubbed releases on Cartoon Network (Gundam Wing was the one that really got me going, although I previously enjoyed Sailor Moon -hey, i was a young kid- Pokemon and DBZ, but at a very immature level.... So while its easy to knock dubbed animes after seeing all the fansubs and becoming a bonefied otaku, just remember that these shows have to reach new audiences in some way.

[LobsterMagnet]

I never really liked .hack, the whole series never really made sense. I loved the whole epic marketing scheme for it by having the anime tie-in to the videogame and have both of those tie-in to the DVD's but the whole series was really nothing else but people with big swords and staffs walking around and spouting vaguely philosophical dialogue to justfy why they were spending all of their time playing MMORPG and not doing anything.

As a former EverCrackhead I somewhat resent your tone... But yeh .Hack did seem to make an attempt to justify the ridiculous amount of time there and even claimed that a 'fake' life in such a game is a substantial existence... Although if that was your least favorite anime than you've probably been spared some of the real stinkers! The music for those shows rocked and even the English VAs did well.
Ok, .hack//twilight was creepy incestual weirdness... at least as far as I got.

[The Heretic Azazel]

I've only watched .hack//sign, thought it was a decent story with boring action scenes.. how do the others in the series tie into this one?

[Ryllharu]

.hack/sign was all game world, weird crazy crap. The OVA's that came with the games were all real world (at least as far as i got) trying to get someone stuck in the game out, twilight bracelet was supposed to be the video games, but it was somewhat loosely based on the games. I did enjoy some of the games, but then it kinda panned out and there was better stuff to play.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Truly horrible anime: Mahou Sensi Negima. What a god awful adaptation of a great manga. The animation is horrible, even after another prodco started helping them, the story is even more out of order (at lease Love Hina just cut stuff out, the order was right). About the only good thing about it was the seiyuu, who do a good job and are well cast.

Same goes for Ichigo 100%. Basically the same problems, excepting the animation, which is better, but still not on par with the manga. Though they mess around with the order and cut things out BIG time in Ichigo.

Both of these series were great mangas, but were ruined when they became anime. If you actually like any of these, read the mangas instead. You have no idea what you're missing.

[ES]

Prepare to make a horrifying trip back time as I say some of the most craptastic animes ive seen in my childhood...

Doraemon: Some sort of a...something dressed in a blue ninja outfit pulling gizmos out of his crotch and gives it to kids.

Mojacko: An orange fuzzball that again hangs around with children and takes them to weird and extremely far places for me to mention.

Cooking Master Boy: Need I say more?

Grander Musashi: An odd anime about fishing...dont even ask.

Fighting Food ons: Too weird to mention.

Boys Be: some shit about highschool life and teens with big bossoms.

and one of my most hated animes of all time......


Fushigi Yugi: Two high schoolgirls gets trapped in a fictional book...bah...I cant explain this crap anymore...this series just irks me everytime I think of it.

EDIT: Ok..ok..Sorry about the Cat's Eye..it was good...well for most parts of it. but I still hate Fushigi Yugi...considering they friggin overwhelmed the whole "tragic" part and practically killed almost every character. And do not....I mean DO NOT make say something about that stupid girl. Heck she's much more retarded than naruto on crack. Anyways...sorry, I just got off from a double shift...so there. Also Saint Seiya sucked...=p

hmm...tons more of things to say here it seems. Astro boy didnt suck...come on, who doesnt love a flying robot on short shorts with a machine gun sticking out of his ass? well besides Mj probably and Oro. So there..

[Honoko]

i thought cooking master boy was alright.... but i can't believe you hated fushigi yuugi! that series was sooo good!

[Ryllharu]

How can you possibly hate Cat's Eye? It's one the best series to come out the 80's. Sure the animation is sun-par now, but for its time it was unbelievable. The whole series was drawn by hand!! And the motions are more realistic than a lot of the computer aided animation now. Back then, the story was original too.

It's a classic, I can't believe you think its bad.

I can't even see how your description gives any reason to think of it negatively. Other than maybe old, but old anime is fine (unless you're relatively new to anime and then probably can't stand the 'poor' quality by today's standards).

[DDBen]

I'm with you on this one. I mean how can you hate any series with OAV's about writing to each other in the flesh of twins using nails i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

I've seen a lot of bad anime and Fushigi Yugi is not even close to one of them. Go watch Kokoro Library now thats horrible.

Richard Hayworth is Canadian?? 0.o. in any case, after 92 episodes, he kinda grew on me. ;p, although his jap VA, (forget her name - it's mayo something) is undisputably better - one of my favorite VAs in fact.

And a note on digimon (sorry): I think for a kid's show like Pokemon and Yugioh, it really had a lot of complexity to it. Much more emotion than the usual "gotta catch em all" or "gotta win this tournament", and the characters (at least for the first season) were really fleshed out. It's more like your typical anime series than other shows it's compared to I think. I'd say It's what got me into anime.

As for the topic, I think my list would include Sakura Wars (fell asleep trying to give a shit, honestly), Mahou Sensei Negima (even the OP pisses me off), and Reign the Conqueror.
Special Mention: Most anime by BeeTrain make me drowsy. It takes 10 minutes for anything to happen, then, when something does happen, it's a closeup of the character's eyes while they say, like, 1 line. The music is good, but so hypnotic it makes me unfocused. I don't think many of these shows are BAD (.hack is a favorite of mine), just that they quickly bore me.

[Darknodin]

Fighting Food ons: Too weird to mention.


HAHA... i vote for that... well I can't really say its bad cuz i never really watched but... seriously...

EDIT :

Last Exile because it just got boring midway through, and I felt they didn't really explain anything about Exile.

Last Exile? even if it was slower through to the end... its far from being one of the worst... very far from that

[Ryllharu]

How could I forget one of the true classics in terrible anime:

Char's Revenge

If you've seen it, I've said enough. I'd rather never think about that one again.

[Death BOO Z]

rejoice, bad anime fans.
it seems that a kidou shinsengumi moken series has just began, prepare to descrate the beloved shinsengumi even more, after the shame of peacemaker and shura no toki...

man, someone in japan really hates them, the only good role they had as anime charecters was in kenshin...

[Terracosmo]

Agreed on that Boo, Shura &amp; especially Peacemaker were steaming piles of el crapo.

Then again, it's hard for any shinsengumi character to be cool in the eyes of anyone who's seen Hajime Saito in action.

Indeed. I was totally like "OMG!!!111! Shinsengumi kick so much ass!!1! OMGG!!" After seeing Saito in Kenshin. But I was so disappointed in Shura that I'm afraid to watch any other show about them ever again...

How the hell did that guy smoke cigarettes all the time and still go buck-wild with a sword like that? &amp; he would kill his opponents, unlike the rest of the peacelovers...

[MrTicTac]

that PLANETES anime,,, x___x

some other animes i've stopped watching

Inuyasha - I like the characters and story, but newer villains just keep coming and action scenes are always the same, became predictable so i gave up watching like around ep 130

Prince of Tennis - DBZ style pacing x__x takes 5 episodes to win a point

Full Metal Alchemist - its a decent show, i like everything about it, except that kid in the armour voice,, daaamnn his voice is annoying

[Munsu]

Alright alright... all the shows you just mentioned make your whole post invalid... try again, we are looking for the WORST anime

only one you mentioned that might be considered is Prince of Tennis, since it is an aquired taste, even though i watch it once in a while

[Aeon]

I can't believe people don't like Shura no Toki and Inuyasha. And if anybody mentioned Ikkitousen then shame on them. Minus the fanservice it's a great show.

[XwingRob]

Guess I'm just into the realistic space stuff... and it was refreshing to watch a show that's focus wasn't on war for once...

[Munsu]

Yeah, PlantES was an awesome series, i can see how some people might be put off by it at the beginning, but it develops into an excellent series

[XwingRob]

Yeah exactly.
When I first started watching it, I was saying to myself: "is this all there going to do for the next 20 or whatever episodes?" Then I realize from the intro what the show was really about...

[Y]

Oh yeah, Inuyasha. It combines the shittiest period piece ever with lame, half-ass romance drama and pacing that makes Dragonball Z seem rip-roaring fast. What a piece of shit.

Minus the fanservice and you don't have a show dude...

I don't know WHAT Y has against Inuyasha. Hell, I don't even like it, but I don't think it's terrible. Although it has pokemon-esque episodes.

[Death BOO Z]

Inuyasah is best, the greatest rumiko takahashi story ever printed.
the only bad pacing that it has is within the 080-101 episodes, where absaloutly nothing happenes, but after that, we have about 50 episodes of pure ownage (except the annoying ninja demons and specials, but who gives a damn?) and the first 80 episodes are also very well done. basically, it's holding high in my favorite anime and manga stories, manga is even better.

shura no toki and ikktoksen are crap, of course. hit me with a 20 kg sledgehammer and thier plots would still be stupid.

of course, you can't ignore the crapiness which is king of bandits jing, so much good animation, just to end each episode with 'mega zord super sword attack!' half the time watching i was praying that a tree will fall on the charecters and crush them.

[Munsu]

I have to agree with you on King of Bandits Jing... i kept waiting and waiting for something to freaking happen, and before i knew it, the series had ended

[Y]

The fact that even its fans say "there are 10 hour stretches that are complete shit" pretty much sums up how fucking awful Inu Yasha is.

[Munsu]

Just like every other long shounen series... just like One Piece had that terrible portion in the Arabasta Arc which nothing happened for the longest time... but you wouldn't know about it... so Y, go and talk about something you actually know about... maybe Comics...

[MrTicTac]

some shounen series' should just know when to stop ~__~

hey i like inuyasha and the other series' i posted (except planetes) theres just a point (really thin line)when it becomes 100% predictable rather than almost predictable (like one piece which i love)

meh its not like all i want are things blowing up, planetes just didnt do crap (until later on, u say)

[Death BOO Z]

Y, Inuyasha's 'ten hours of nothing' aren't diffrent than Naruto's bunshin chases and filler arcs, or the aweful hokage/orochimaru endurance battle (Hokage: "bwhhha! the sword is going through my inner organs! i must pull his soul out!" Orochimaru: "ahh! my soul is being taken away, I must move my finger to call in my light saber!"). does it make Naruto a bad anime? (yes).
actually, after reading the Inuyasha manga after what happened in the anime, I'm looking forward to the next chapter much more than i'm looking forward to the next chapter of Naruto, One piece or Bleach.

speaking of one piece, what arc was the Arabasta arc? i'm horrible with names, and the scans quality wasn't too good either when i read it...

[Munsu]

Arabasta Arc, is the Vivi and Crocodile one... I'm mostly talking about when they just arive at the desert and they just go around wondering aimlessly... but i think the boring portion, by my standards, started even a little bit earlier.. dont remember much right now...

[Y]

Ok, so what is the answer here?

They're both awful. Naruto at least has episodes with good animation, isn't a fetch-quest, and doesn't tack on a shitty romance plot (yet).

What the fucking shit? I don't watch One Piece so I'm too ignorant to judge Inu Yasha?

I hate you, Bud i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

[masamuneehs]

Well I think I have to step in to defend Inuyasha here.
I actually have enjoyed this show on occasion, although the pacing can be absolutley agonizing and ridiculously slow... Many cliches in some characters, but I still enjoy lots of the character interaction, even some of the silly bits, and find myself liking some of the characters. (Sesshomaru, Miroku, Inuyasha, Naraku)

Its true I don't watch the show often or even keep up with it much at all. But from the 60 or so episodes I have seen I do like it. And its one of the shows that I think Cartoon Network has done a good job with, overall, in airing. Sesshomaru's English VA is awesome in my opinion, the voice of that wolf dude is Ratrap from Beast Wars and Duo Maxwell, and some other voices are good too, as well as some of the musical tracks (which do get redundant)

"I will personally see to it that he never breathes again." Dude, Treize- I mean Sesshomaru is badass as fuck. He single handley makes Inuyasha NOT the worst anime ever, not by a long shot. Hell, I wouldnt even put it below a C grade.

[MrTicTac]

they should have more stories/episodes about rin/sesshomarou *winks* hahaha

[Death BOO Z]

the only reason Rin was created was becuase of Kohaku, we do not neem more stories about the little shitgirl.


we need more episodes, period. Inuyasha's 2nd season (if done right) could be the greatest anime of the year.

[Mite Gai]

Inuyasha ain't really what I would call a candidate for greatest anime of the year, to me it seems a little average, and even if it was, whats the likeliness of it being done right? 0% possibility.

[Rhanfahl]

What makes Inuyasha shitty is Inuyasha...He's such a fucking ass. Kagome sucks too. The real saving grace to that series is the one movie where you get to see the father "Inu no Taishou" If not for him and Sesshoumaru, I'd have really no interest at all in it. Not to mention the main villian is the biggest fucking coward, he seriously makes the French look lionhearted. Inuyasha gets a C for 2 great characters....but shitty main characters.

[Def_X]

Can you expand on shitty?
Are the characters are one-dimensional? Are they are predictable? Are they are poorly drawn?

Personally I would agree with those that say while it's not the best anime ever Inyuasha rises high above other animes. Inyuasha kept its bad guys usually in the gray area of life keeping them from complete evil. The anime had enough moments to keep it above animes like Star Ocean Ex, and most of the additional Pokemon seasons.

Yeah thats was horrible. When I watched the first episode, I think the kid pissed out blood. That was enough for me to make me stop watching.

Hilariously, that's the same reason I stopped watching it.

[Y]

Pissing blood? Sounds like a winner, who subbed that gem of a series?

[Death BOO Z]

i guess that our opinions of Inuyasha are diffrent, then... I really like Naraku as the villian, he's got a safe balance between being evil and hateful towards the main charecters, and between practical about achieving his goals. The rest of the cast is the rumiko usual, if you liked ranma 1/2 then you'd like this cast, not much to elaborate.

about Gilgamesh, i quite liked that anime, even though it was really messed up (i need to find an evangelion fanboy and make him watch this anime and explain it to me), the animation was diffrent than usual (in a good way) and the charecters were intresting, and that's without mentionning the violence and the nonexistent morals of everybody...
subbed by aninmfansubsforever and live-evil, if you want to get it, I'm quite sure it wasn't licenced yet,,,

Personally I would agree with those that say while it's not the best anime ever Inyuasha rises high above other animes. Inyuasha kept its bad guys usually in the gray area of life keeping them from complete evil. The anime had enough moments to keep it above animes like Star Ocean Ex, and most of the additional Pokemon seasons.

How about all of the above. Well, not all of the characters are. But Inuyasha himself looks pretty shitty, has a one track mind, says the stupidest fucking things ever, acts like a dog for "cute effect", and calls everyone a bastard. He's a very shallow character, and his "Kaze no Kizu" is his answer for everthing....actually this is starting to sound like Naruto...

[The Heretic Azazel]

InuYasha did get in a slump with the same shit over and over. The biggest gripe I have about this series deals with Naraku... he was so bad-ass but hardly ever took the offensive in a battle. It was just always him getting attacked over and over and surviving.

Hakudoushi and Sesshoumaru ruled that show.

[ryan92084]

gilgamesh had the best ending of any anime ever... my friends and i still bring it up at random times



TUNING FORKED!!

[Death BOO Z]

that sure was a classic....
i think i should watch it again, just so that i might understand what was really there.
i mean, beside the whole clonning super terrorist and the immortal king.

[Sirion]

Dragonball in general. In my book, it is just as bad as Pokemon, Bayblade and all the other series intended for 12-year olds.

[The Heretic Azazel]

I thought we weren't allowed to say Dragonball!

[XanBcoo]

I dunno, Dragonball wasn't all that bad. It was as you said, intended for 12+ year olds. It seems Beyblade/Pokemon/whatever were intended for much younger audiences.

Dragonball was actually pretty funny, then it got cool near the end.
DragonballZ was damn cool when I watched it (not so much now though).
GT was a joke.

[masamuneehs]

I honestly count Beyblade, Pokemon and Yugi-Oh (at least American versions) as a different type of anime than Gundam, Eva, etc.

While they all cater towards young audiences in Japan, I see the Pokemonesque shows as being the cutsey Disney cartoons, like Baby Looney Tunes and shit you have 3 year olds watch. Then there are ones that can appeal to all ages, but have elements of violence, inappropriate social situations, darker comedy etc, like the original Looney Tunes, Who Framed Roger Rabbit etc. Finally you have the gory anime and serious shit like Speed Grapher, Eva (sometimes), 100 Stories, Monster etc. which I put parallel with Sealab 2021, Robot Chicken, Beavis &amp; Butthead &amp; South Park.

So, keeping that in mind, can people say if they found certain animes in those kinds of categories to be teh worst? Its easy to say Pokemon or beyblade, but how about the worst adult anime? (should hentai be counted...?) you've ever seen?

[XanBcoo]

I think comparing Eva and Robot Chicken is a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, they're both animated and aimed at adults/teens but their subject matter and effect are completely different. Since there are no American cartoons comparable to anime, I think it's better to parallel mature series like Speed Grapher, Monster, etc with either live action tv shows or movies.

And as for hentai...yeah, it's crap. But it gets teh job done. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[Everon]

I went though a grueling season watching avenger. *shudders* Music and artwork were nice which decieved me into thinking it was much more than a plot-less black hole.

In general I hate shows that get caught doing the same thing over and over. Inuyasha had an incredible beginning, but in the manga and in the final days of the anime was could never get past certain stock plotlines.

[The Heretic Azazel]

Maybe the story didn't have enough to tell to warrant 167 episodes...

The pacing was the worst.

[Dee]

The worst anime ever is Ranma 1/2, i can't believe i watched the entire thing. The idea was interesting in all but the development sucked and the ending was even worst.

Live-Evil subbed it.

Be sure to keep a healthy dosis of sanity with you , cause the series will mindfuck you over and over again.

[Assertn]

Anyone try watching Narutaru?

I saw it mentioned in the old gotwoot site, so i checked it out......
seemed interesting.....got a little slow....started to get even more interesting.....then went back to being slow and boring for about 4 more episodes.......

by then i lost the ability to stay awake through an episode of it.....so i just removed the damn thing.

Then there's bobobo bobobo......................
Normally i like random humor, but the nose hair thing would make me ashamed to even affiliate myself with anything remotely like this. The art quality most of the time was on par with old DBZ stuff....it was just......no....just no....

[Terracosmo]

I loved Bobobobobbobobbobo~.

It makes Excel Saga look sane.

[Death BOO Z]

Bobobobo: I tried reading a bit of the manga, I remember afro guy fighting against bold guys, right? thinking back, it looks like someone took the premise of Hokuto no Ken and just changed the charecters... anyway, I deleted it after a few chapters and that's it.

Narutaru: one of my all time favorite animes, not becasues it's very good (it could use a bit more work on, and about 13 more episodes so it would make sense), but because it's almost as much of a mindfuck as Evangelion. seriously, the three last episodes are the biggest mood swing i've ever seen, you won't ever see it coming. now, go and watch it again, and remember that housimaru is the cutest little thing ever, and 'ein-soth' is infinite in hebrew. yep, total mindfuck.

[Kyuuzou]

I pick Gantz. Heck I've wasted my time on that show.......Eh did it even have an ending ???hmmm nope of course not -.-'. So what else can I say about it???

[Munsu]

Sorry, but I wouldn't say that having a bad ending makes it a the worst anime... That's just what it was, a bad ending... It was a pretty good series, it just fucked up at the end...

I recommend searching for the Budda arc in the manga and continue reading from there, that's where the anime went in a different direction than the manga...

[Carnage]

Nobody insults Bo-Bo-Bobo. NOBODY.

3. Sonic underground: now this was a piece of shit, best thing was the voice actor of the wolf, who was the same guy who did Kith in futurama I agree that Sonic Underground is a colossal mess. Like OMFG!! I thought some animation company pirated Sega's mascot. It didn't seem like it was produced by a Japanese anime studio.
Thank god there's Sonic X to redeem the hedgehog's reputation. *it's quite a kiddie anime tho'

One anime which I regretted acquiring 2 episodes of is Meine Liebe. I have no freaking idea what's so interesting about a bunch of beautiful boys in an academic institution. I just fell asleep because the story's going nowhere. The coice acting cast is made of interesting personalities tho', most of them from Gundam Seed.

Bobobobobobobo is one of the funniest and weirdest kuso anime I've every watched. What I look out for are the voice actors. Bobobo is VA-ed by Takehito Koyasu [Mwu la Flaga of GundamSeed] and Don Patch is VA-ed by Tomokazu Seki [Yzak Jule, Viewtiful Joe, Doraemon]. It's amazing how flexible their vocal chords are. I think the series ran up to the 69th ep.

oh I plain forgot about Gilgamesh... that was pretty awful
I tried really hard to continue watching the series but ughh...
plus the art pissed me off... i mean... what's up with the thick lips?!?! x.x

Another vote for Sokyuu no Fafner too. They try too damn hard to be melodramatic by having ultra-slow-moving scenes and by having one young kid die off every episode.
Nice. *rolls eyes*

Hack Sign Bracelet??? (or whatever it's called) was another series that I couldn't bear to continue watching.
Seemed like a totally pointless show. Also, the character design was way too kiddish.

[Arzen]

Anyone watched LOVELESS and survived?
It's about this angsty kid called Ritsuka with kitty ears who gets in some kind of relationship with his dead elder bro's partner who happens to be some kind of zombie. It's screaming SHONEN AI and I have no idea where the hell the story was.

christ Arzen try not to double post so much will ya? Only a matter of times since the mods boot you, as I've noticed you've been getting flack about signatures from them. Shape up or ship out.

Soukyou no Fafner as the Worst Anime ever? I don't think so. Sure it indulges alot of the typical over-dramatic, over-angsty cliches while being a quasi-Evangelion ripoff, but it's actually pretty well made.

Loveless sucked some horrible balls. Granted I've only seen the first four episodes, but they were absolutley terrible. Angsty-emo to the extreme. What young kid is actually like that? And what kind of zombie/older man kisses them full on the lips and constantly says stuff like "I love you" to that illegally younger kid? That show borders on shota yaoi.

I also absolutley loathe all of those "relationship" / "high school" shows that are on. I just can't sit through episodes of them, I just press Delete. Why do I need to bother wasting my time watching about some made up, over the top drama when there's plenty to be found in real life? Also, lots of the characters are so stereotypical and unoriginal. That said, some of those shows can be good for a laugh, just not frequently enough that I would bother keeping up with the show.

Bobobobobo is hilarious.

[Carnage]

Be sure to read the Bo Bo Bobo manga, dont watch the anime. If you think the anime is funny, you'll shit your pants reading the manga.

[Board of Command]

I haven't really seen any "bad" series because I only watch the popular and/or high rating ones. Sure, there were some I didn't like, in particular...Berserk. WTF was that all about? I mean, it starts "interesting", goes on to develop a very good story over ~20 episodes, then the ending comes and karate chops you in the nuts. Others I'd have to say Fruits Basket. I did NOT like that show at all.

And btw, Fafner is DEFINITELY not a bad show. In addition, the OVA "Left of Right" is amazing.

[Ryllharu]

Berserk is another 'bad ending' series. That by no means makes it a 'bad series.' Anyone who's read the manga will tell you that that is barely half the story, and that it is perhaps the greatest series that's still running. Other than Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, Berserk is probably the only "Epic" (in the true sense of the word) anime/manga.

The same goes for Fruits Basket. It is a rushed chop shop ending. The series ends at volume 6 of the manga, barely a third of the way through the story at present. They also took the boring parts of the series for the most of the last half of the anime. It is a bad series, but the story is a lot better than the anime gives off.

Take Neon Genesis, liberally cross with RahXephon, kill people off more often, and you've got Fafner. The series is garbage. It tries to be profound like the other two (arguably RahXephon isn't that great either) and just comes off as another clone of them.

Gungrave is bad series. Take an awesome mobster arc, and then switch aburptly back to the retarded monster-undead genetic zombie killing cliche-fest. They should've just kept it to the mob arc and called it something else. Why bother to cross it with a game that was decent, but nothing spectacular?

Wow, I've never agreed so much with someone's views on an anime for the first half of a post and then TOTALLY disagree with them on the second half.

Gungrave, bad? Fafner, bad?

Fafner was a pretty big knockoff, granted. They took alot of elements from Eva and RahX, but I still thought the series was pretty good. Even if it wasn't original, it was a good knockoff. Yes it was angsty and sometimes over-dramatic, but what else can you expect in a situation like that? And the OVA was fantastic.

Gungrave did shift gears towards the end. I'll agree that I liked it better when it was more into the mafia scene. But there were some absolutley incredible parts in the "monster-undead zombie killing cliche-fest" as you call it. And let me ask you this, how the hell would Gungrave's story have continued without the Necroriser factor? I thought the series tried, and did pretty well, at doing something new after 'the mafia' part.
And what game are you talking about?

[Board of Command]

Gungrave is in no way, shape or form a bad series. I agree they went overboard with the monster stuff, but if you view the story from the characters' points of view, the huge contrast between the mafia part and the monster part really helps to develop the dark atmosphere. At the beginning everyone is human and normal, especially Lee. As the series progresses they become less and less human and by the end they're literally not human. At the very end all the monsters are gone and it's just back to Brandon and Harry at the bar. I don't believe the monster stuff was added for cliche at all, but rather to show the development of the characters in a sort of metaphorical way.

[Darknodin]

I liked gunGrave A LOT. but i have to agree that its mostly because of the mafia parts. they actually could have kept the necro-rised parts, but the Superiors were just ridiculous.
also, I personally like RahXephon even if some parts were weird, I liked it better than Eva. as for bad series, I haven't watched anything really bad. I usually stop after 1 or 2 eps so i can't really have an opinion.

oh and B_o_c, Physics don't kill people, Biology does! i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[Ryllharu]

It wasn't the necro-rise part of it, admittedly, it was a necessity to finish up the revenge part of it, but the other people on Harry's side are just rediculous. You could have gotten the same effect with just the regular zombies and Brandon. I couldn't stand those eps. The parts where they showed in some of the cases why they ultimately chose to become monsters was fine and interesting, but them actually turning into the monsters and the fights just came off pointless to me.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the flashback parts of the series, and enjoyed them thoroughly. But when Harry's lieutenants start becoming the superiors, the whole experience really just soured to me. All the effort they had put into all the great character development, storyline, and build-up to Brandon's death, finished off with Yu Yu Hakusho style battles (Not that YYH is something negative, just a comparison). I lost a lot of interest in the series, even though I had to have expected it from the first eps. I almost didn't even finish it.

Either you've never heard of it or people forgot about it because it was an incredibly mediocre game.
Gungrave the game (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/gungrave/index.html)
It came out a year before the series aired.

I also like RahXephon, but there are a LOT of people who hate it and say its garbage, which is why I put 'arguably.'

First off I hate Buggy and that arc was indeed fairly bad. Second if your watching the Dub of One Piece that could certainly be the worst anime ever. Basically I would have to say however its impossible that anything with 100+ episodes much less the amount One Piece has could in any way be considered the worst anime ever.

[kooshi]

I've been usually watching the animes that many people suggest, so I haven't had any horrible experiences yet until...
Unfortunately, a friend suggested Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel). At first, it was interesting, but as the series continued, it just kept going downhill.

[Munsu]

Yep, Bakuretsu Tenshi was a load of crap... I enjoyed some parts of it, but as a whole it was a crappy anime. I hope the OVA that's supposed to come out later will be good though.

[Hakeem_21]

[Aramis]

A medieval RPG cliche anime isn't a bad idea but all executions of it are amateur crap. ragnarok the animation is no exception, and it has to be the worst anime i've ever seen.
The mad wizard dude was class, though. They did him just right. Lunacy builds character.

[Kraco]

Damn, I had to dig up my copy of necronomicon and resurrect this thread just for this purpose. After 12 episodes of Gantz, I can already say it has to be one of the worst animes I have ever seen. Not the worst, because I watched the first episode of Tenchi Muyo: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, but I'd say this could be even as bad as Jubei-chan 2 - The Revenge of Siberia Yagyuu.

I simply have never witnessed as stupid, cowardly, weak and loser main characters as in this series (The leading character of Tide-Line Blue looks like a super hero compared to these fellows). If they were even a bit stronger, I'd just think they are simply badly written, but now they are actually so miserable that they are works of art as such. And that's also the only reason why I intend to finish this series: Every single fight scene so far has been so unbelievably moronic that I just can't drop this show.

I know there are people here who liked this series to some extent at least (I checked this thread), and I assure you I mean no offence. We all have our different tastes, and on the other hand the technical aspects of this series aren't bad, and there have been good scenes outside of the fights.

[Ryllharu]

Any fan of the manga will not argue with you in the slightest. I use it as an example of how terrible an adaptation of a good manga series can get (the made up, half-assed ending anyway).

The Gantz series is the biggest joke and waste of time I've ever bothered with, second only to Mother: Saigo no Shoujo Eve (aka E.Y.E.S. of Mars). That is hands down the worst anime movie I've ever seen. Fortunately, I only wasted 80 minutes of my time on that one. The cast is good and the acting is decent, its just the plot has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. It's like Star Wars Eps II, good actors can't help it if the script is crap.

[Board of Command]

Gantz was just 24 (or was it 26?) episodes of pointless blood and gore. In the end you still have no clue what the hell is going on. This show makes Elfen Lied look like Barney.

[Honoko]

@ Kraco: Whiny characters was exactly the same reason why I stopped watching this show. Although, according to many, the payoff to sticking with this series is pretty damn good. Still, not enough to convince me. I need to watch shows whose main character I can actually root for.

[narutosharingan]

For me, I did NOT like Fruits Basket nor DNA 2. Yikes, bad bad bad.

[Ryllharu]

I'll try to keep this brief since its not the right thread for this:

Spoiler warning for GANTZ plot, don't read if you haven't seen it



The problem with Gantz is that they only show you maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the story that's out now in the manga (admittedly, its gotten a little sidetracked). They cut a huge amount of the character development out, so you never really are able to get attached to all of the new characters that show up every round but ultimately die. What they leave you with is the whiny pacifist long-haired friend, the idiotic girl, and Kurono. They only show the briefest of glimpses into the real world, so you don't really get to see how positively Kurono is getting affected by the 'game.' Then, right after the one of the bloodiest arcs in the series, instead of going into the story arc that changes the entire series, where it gets into even more characters depth and starts showing a much larger cross section of their world outside of the hunts, they slap together a bullshit ending where Gantz makes everyone hunt Kurono. The amount they leave out makes it not worth watching. I cannot even fully express how much better the manga is.

End spoilers


With Fruits Basket, the reason a lot of people dislike it is unfortunately the same. They stop the story at volume 6 of a series that is at least 20 volumes. It does get a lot better and addresses a lot more mature issues.

DNA2 is mediocre, I agree. It's not the worst I've seen, which is somewhere back in this thread.

Added some spoiler warnings for GANTZ.
Budweineken

[Kraco]

Aye. Aside from the fight scenes, there are actually quite a lot of good humour in the series, and some other scenes. Especially the scoring and other comments given by Gantz are hilarious. That's why I really expected a lot from this series during the first episodes.

However, since the series is so heavily based on battles, it really should have better ones. I suppose they were aiming for a realistic view of how people who never have shoot or killed couldn't just suddenly start to do so. But it was taken to far extremes here. If your friends or at least acquaintances are being slowly killed in front of you by some robots or monsters, or you are being threaten by the same things, and you have a one-hit-kill weapon in your hand, I doubt many people would hesitate that much in the real life. Or so I thought until the person who neg repped me for the initial post proved me wrong. Apparently there are people like that also in the real world (fortunately not among my friends)...

[Munsu]

That's why I really expected a lot from this series

I agree with what most of you guys have said about GANTZ, not that I think it is the worst I have seen, I actually enjoyed the most of it. The series turned to shit during the later half of the series, but I found the first part very refreshing. It's not often that you get an anime where you see the whole thought process of the main character, and it's pretty accurate with many people, including myself at times when I think most people around me are lame and such.

With that said, I find that when people dislike a series/show/movie it really has little to do with the series/show/movie itself rather they dislike it based on their expectations. I always find it a weak argument, saying something along the lines of "this series is so bad because I expected better". Yeah, then do me a favor and have lower expectations, it really pisses me off when I recommend something to friends of mine, something that is actually good and they come to me later and say the movie was OK, I expected better. I'm not talking to Kraco in particular, just sharing a common trait I find most of the times I see someone disliking something.

I'm the opposite, I usually expect the worst out of everything, I guess that's why I enjoy most of the things I watch and why I rarely consider that I've wasted my time with something.

[Kraco]

Well, that's a pretty profound difference. I haven't watched anime for a very long time, and still today I always expect every new show I start to watch to be an exquisite experience. This is a worst anime thread, and there's one really important point here that's easy to miss: It's relative to whatever animes the person who posts has happened to watch. And aside from the first episode of Magical Girl Pretty Sammy, I have watched exactly zero bad anime series. This is mainly because I have only chosen good series to watch, and because I appreciate anime so highly (and maybe I have just have good luck or a knack for picking the good ones).

It's more than likely many people here have watched very lousy series compared to the worst I have seen. And thus when I say Gantz is one of the worst I have seen, people might be puzzled by it. This is why I enjoy most of the things I watch and why I rarely consider that I've wasted my time with something, to quote Bud.

[Kraco]

Some person(s) here mentioned Noir in this thread. I don't remember if it was because of that that I decided to have a look at it, but after 4 episodes, I don't think it's nearly that bad. Sure, all the battles those two have fought have been pretty miserable with the opponents fighting like 8 years old kids, but otherwise I like the series. Not as much as something like Gunslinger Girl, but there is something nice about this series. I just hope if they keep encountering resistance it would be a bit more intelligent in the future.

[mage]

Noir was an average series. Definitely not the worst ever made.

[DDBen]

I more then likely mentioned Noir at some point in this thread as I found it absolutely dreadful to try and watch. The action was just flat out boring and the plot was trivial and one that has been overused more then enough. The series simply never at any point grabbed my interest and by episode 16 was literally putting me to sleep. I still have the entire series burned somewhere as a friend of mine had lent me a ton of cd's and I just copied them all and then went back and watched them. I honestly never finished Noir though I have never had any urge to do so at all so it might have some amazing ending but for me its in the top 10 worst I've watchedand I've seen a LOT of anime.

[Bread-sama]

Samurai Champloo, Soukyo no Fafner, Texnohlyze, DBGT, Last Exile, Ikkitousen, Ninja Scroll TV, Noir, Madlax there's some more but i can't remember them right now

Wtf, are you crazy? Samurai Champloo? That series was so awesome hehehe.

The ones i hate:
Ah My Goddess (yes, call me crazy)
Daa! Daa! Daa! (don't kill me)
Mahoujin Guruguru
Avenger

[mage]

LOL seriously, you guys have not seen truely bad anime if you think series like last exile, samurai champloo, and even DBGT are anywhere near the worst ever made.

Last Exile and Champloo are pretty good, anyway..

[Kraco]

Ah My Goddess (yes, call me crazy)

Must be hard to be in the AonE staff, if you hate Ah My Goddess! Har har...

[masamuneehs]

... i agree with DDBen?

While not the worst anime ever I found Noir about as entertaining as watching flies circle my stool. Wait, no, the action with the flies is better to watch even. I made it through like 20 episode of Noir before I stopped downloading because I was simply wasting my time.

One of the most disappointing 'girls with guns' series I've ever seen. Big conspiracy plot that deals with the characters' tragic pasts and two pretty (albeit one pre-pubescent by like 2 years) girls shooting at uncapable enemies does not a good anime make. I'll pass on that cliche-rolled joint thank you very much. I recommend others to do the same.

Saint Beast.....what a piece of crap that was...

Don't know of many that's seen it but for me Mouse TV was one the worst animes I've seen in a while. It felt like a cheap rip-off of Lupin the Third and a waste of hard-drive space. Cyborg 009 (dubbed version) was a big disappointment too, hopefully I can be my hands on the original so I can tell the difference.

I think there's a TV Series for this in the making... so you'll have to go through the torture once again.

But I have to say the shittiest anime is Musashi -Gundou-, couldn't even watch the first episode.

I didn't like Air. Maybe I missed a big piece of the plot or something, because everyone thinks so highly of that show.

These are some of the animes I really don't like:

Dragonball Z: My love for anime didn't start with this series so I never had the nostalgia factor attached to it. I never could get into it. When I closed my eyes it felt like I was listening to porn with all that grunting and powering up that could last one whole episode.

Ninja Scroll TV: I was really looking forward to this as the movie is one of my favourites. This series really destroyed the Ninja Scroll franchise.

Blood The Last Vampire Movie: All that hype surrounding its release and nothing interesting happens it. I do one day plan on watching the series which I hear is much better.

Tekken Motion Picture: Need I say more.

Street Fighter Alpha: The Trailers made out there would be a epic battle between Ryu and Akuma but all we get is a shit fight between Ryu and a mad scientist that has never been in the "Alpha" storyline.

X The Movie: Nice animation but I was lost all through the movie. I do plan on watching the series that came after it someday, since it's meant to be much better.

Full Metal Alchemist Movie: FMA is one of my favourite anime of all time, but I REALLY HATE the direction the story took with this movie. I also felt they rushed the ending of the series.

Then we have the fact they changed Zoro to Zolo

The Super Milk-chan Show.

Honestly, how anyone can watch an anime without any relevant plot and too much fill noise is beyond me. I watched two episodes of this series and I thought I was going to gouge my eyes out with a fork.

If the Devil may cry anime goes on like this, it will become one of the worst anime for me! I expected much more from this serie...

Some shitty anime along the names of something Musashi. I saw it streamed cause I was bored, and it was awful. It had really really really bad animation, the main character looked like shit, the art looked like shit, and he ran around carrying a pistol during the Edo Era(?). It was so awful.

Divergence Eve.

Why? Simple, because it tried to be decent but horribly failed.

Other sucky animes almost come with a disclaimer, and almost make fun of themselves.
