Anime/Manga What's the worst anime you've ever seen?

[gimmepie]

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. The characters are all absolutely awful, especially that freaking MC. That character is the epitome of a boring ass, overpowered Gary Stu. He manages to be the asshole character and boring.

The writing is also crap. It's long-winded, stale and the plot seems to largely ignore themes introduced from the very beginning or otherwise mishandles them.

It's basically everything I hate in a show.

Mahouka was my second choice, haha. I feel like the show would have been a lot better in its writing if they had taken the time to actually explain why things worked the way they did. A lot of the concepts they only touched upon, and whilst I imagine they're explained fully in the source material...well, that doesn't make the anime any better.

Doesn't really save the characters anyway though :/

True, but sometimes the worldbuilding can make up for the poor characterisation I think. Poor characterisation is a common thing anyway in anime because certain archetypes are irrationally popular...like the OP faceless protagonist.

...but yeah, Mahouka didn't have either of those things.

Accel World would have been my third choice. People who think SAO is bad should try watching this, haha.

Let's not stray off topic here into what makes an anime transphobic or not, thanks. Especially with such escalating hostility. Any further posts on the subject will be removed on sight.

You have no taste :P

You have no taste :P

You don't get to say that with your sig :P

 

[donavannj]

Based on my MAL, it's apparently Wagamama High Spec. Only series (along side a Familiar of Zero beach special) that I've rated lower than a 4.

You have no taste :P

M8 you're just saying that because it has HanaKana.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

M8 you're just saying that because it has HanaKana.

The fact that it had HanaKana just confirmed the best anime status.
Even without HanaKana, Onii-sama is Onii-sama.

Isn't he just an overpowered Gary Stu? :P

Yes. xD

 

[donavannj]

Actually just remembered another trainwreck so bad that it's not even considered anime by MAL despite being produced by Production I.G.: Abunai Sisters. Absolutely trash in every way.

Mmmm. Honourable mention for the insanity that is Genocyber, I suppose. I've never walked away from from an anime (though I suppose they were moreso OVAs in this case) in such a state of confusion before. Plus the highly graphic content in it is so over the top. Definitely keep a five-mile distance from this rotting pile, lads.

Probably Zero no Tsukaima. God, I think I watched that in 2012? But it's probably the only anime I didn't enjoy that much. That and I remember not liking Louise very much (is that her name, I don't remember), which is really strange because I have a high tolerance for most character except arrogant ones.

Probably gonna piss off a lot of people, but honorable mention to Konosuba. I really don't like the jokes and I HATE the art style. Could've been Mishima Kurone's lovely style like with Akashic Records, but it wasn't. At least some of the CG was nice. =_=

And what more would you want from MC? :P

 

[pkmin3033]

And what more would you want from MC? :P

A transformation sequence? :3

Like this?



I really can't see it being worse than Abunai Sisters, though, which was so bad I forgot I watched it.

Maybe something with a little more...sparkle. Like this:



Gotta go aaaaaalll out.

You haven't seen the deepness of his magic explanations? :P
