The Bad Anime Thread

Ibiki's the only character from Naruto I like. He's the least annoying of the lot and he tortures people for a living.

I like Temari - manga version only though. Anime version had her angsting all over the place.

The less screen time and personality a character has, the more likable they are. Kisame, Iruka, Tenten, Choji, Temari, Ibiki and Kankuro all fit into this category. You can make up anything you like about them, and no one can say otherwise since they all basically have no personalities.

Seriously though, Kisame and Ibiki are awesome.

Naruto was fun, and then the anime fell into Filler Hell and I just read the manga. And that was fun for a good while too, but recently Kishimoto pulled a complete ass move so I'm not touching this shit either. Fuck Naruto, I stood up for this crap manga for ages and this is how it repays me? By truly, undenyably, unforgiveably sucking? Fuck that shit.

(I still like Iruka, Konohamaru, Kisame and the Sand Sibs more than I should.)

I havn't watched an anime for a long time. I have seen a few Episodes of Naruto, though... Didn't like it. Then there is Bakugan...
I can't unsee it.

EDIT: Another one I like to toss in...

Dragon Pink.

I just ran across Seto no Nanayome and the stupid burned like a raging forest fire. Packed with cliches (not surprising, considering that some of the people who did Ragnarok the anime did this as well) this one is about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid... whose father is a crimelord. Essentially, it's a rip-off of another crappy anime, Very Private Lessons. The whole plot is "Let's take some dumb schmuck, put him in a bad situation, and keep making it worse and worse for him just to see how bad things get." The plot (using that term VERY loosely) is so predictable I was able to skip three episodes and not be lost. I stopped after episode 12.

Really? I didn't think it was that bad.

Baki the Grappler: To be honest, the anime dose a good job correcting the horrible art of the manga, but it is the only redeeming quality of this thing. Crappy story, uninspired fight scenes, unlikable characters, and the animation is downright horrid at times. It doesn't help that we see a good number of overly muscular men fighting in speedos , and other revealing articles of clothing. At some points, you can make a case that this thing is homo-erotic.

Fixed.

Trust me, it really doesn't help at all.

Wait, for a second there I thought we were talking about American comics.

I haven't seen it myself, but Dragonaut: The Resonance was apparently so bad that one fansub group said so at the end of the series:

Srsly? I watched a couple episodes and kinda liked it. I mean, it wasn't The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen, but it has enough naked people and unintentional lulz to hold my attention for the next twenty or so episodes.


I attempted to watch Bleach, InuYasha, and Naruto, and they got REALLY old REALLY fast. I find unsubbed Naruto episodes to be pretty damn lulzy, though. Knowing what's going on kinda takes out all the fun. Also, Psychic Academy, despite having massive amounts of cleavgey fanservice, bored the hell out of me. Maybe I should try watching it after a few shots to fully appreciate it.

There is nothing on this planet that's worse than MD Geist. Nothing. Between the lack of plot, the pointless, gratuitous gore, and the fact that about a third of it is the same damn battle between Geist and some ridiculous android, and the massive fucking pointlessness of it all... ugh. After MD Geist, Bastard!! is a pleasant afternoon.

US Manga Corps did a lot of terrible things, but there should have been charges filed against them for spreading this piece of shit.

This. So much this. I must have blacked out the fact that it wasn't in here yet. In the 90's in Germany, they were marketing this thing as like the ultimate anime EVAR. So I watched it. My reactions:

:crap: :sleep:

Who would have thought that something so gory and action-y could be so goddamn BORING.

I can honestly say if I never watch MD Geist again, it's a day too early.

EDIT: This Buried Garbage column on MD Geist is quite amusing, though!

Pretty much everything that has been released in the past 12 months have been awful, with a few exceptions [here is where I would link to Durarara!, Trapeze, Tokyo Mag. 8.0, ect.]. Most of it, however...

Well, I figured I'd review what little of Hanamaru Kindergarten [GAINAX's show for this season] I could stand. It wasn't much.

Anything dubbed by 4Kids.

Yeah, yeah, I know the original unmolested versions aren't necessarily bad, but I find it hard to mention anime without bashing 4Kids. Especially for what they did to One Piece. Not to say everything done by 4Kids is necessarily bad, though.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: yea or nay? Personally, I thought it was pretty bad. Simon was minorly adorable for a while, but once you start playing "spot the phallic symbol" the whole thing becomes just impossible.

Even though you probably just opened a big can of worms: I didn't like it either and think it's massively overhyped. I don't know whether I would classify it as the worst thing ever, but it didn't entertain me, either. I gave up after episode 6.

I could watch the animation of that and FLCL all day, plot be damned.

It's possibly one of the best series I've seen in the past few years. Marathon it together with Diebuster and it becomes much more awesome.

I can't believe you watched that. I haven't watched anything from this season yet, but Durararararara.... blah is one I should probably take a look at. Have you seen that breastmilk one yet? I hate myself that I want to watch at least one episode to see how bad it is.

You seem to have made the grave grave mistake of taking this animé seriously in any way shape or form, just what the hell do you think this show is? If all you can do is note the protagonist is cute and complain about all the drills go watch Eva instead, seriously, I've never seen somebody miss the point of a show so hard , you think I'm kidding?

Here it comes kiddies

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!

Simon is majorly adorable, damn it. His angst between episodes 9-12 just completely destroys me and I want to reach through the screen and give him a big old hug.

I'm a GAINAX fanboy. I suffered through Shikabane Hime [it was actually quite enjoyable at times, but mostly boring as a whole] last year for the same reason.

Durarara is really good! Ignore /a/ [doesn't everybody?] and their cries of homo-lust. It isn't really even that noticeable. Not that homo-lust is bad or anything. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And Quasar? Oh Lord, no. I am actually tempted to do a snark on it, but I fear for my sanity should it entertain me [or worse, arouse me].

So I'm not the only one who couldn't get into TTGL? I'm a little sad about it, since it is pretty, but I just found it so tedious! I know I shouldn't take it seriously, but I didn't find it very funny either.
