It is not often that a cartoon can evoke such absolute malicious feelings in me. NO. I think I would have committed illegal acts if I had actually watched the entire thing. People praised this bullshit!? Narutaru is BY FAR the worst anime ever. Horrible drawing, but I can deal with that. Main characters are middle schoolers with obvious adult voices, and they talk like they're fucking adults anyway! FINE let's pretend they're geniuses. Now these children bully each other in way's only serial killers and rapists in our society behave. FINE they're sadistic. But after 3.5 random episodes I literally feel- NO not feel I WOULD murder the author of this tale, because it is absolutely AWFUL. It is an absolute disgrace to anime. This is as unrealistic as it gets, and what's worse is that they try to pull it off with a serious face!? I actually feel repulsion to the fact that this shit sat on my harddrive for however many weeks before I finally decided to judge if it was worth watching. If anyone here has got a worse anime; please be my guest and share. This isn't even about taste and whether you are more into DBZ or Sailor Moon or anthing like that. This is bad, that ANYONE should be able to filter out. I just cannot help but be irritated that I spent whatever amount of time watching this. Absolutely pissed.
so can we get a specific list of anime
to ignore or harass people with?
BoBoBoBo.... wasn't made by Americans, I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.
Hey, what about that Drag On Ball Z crap???
Some series like DBZ do run on for too long with the same plot. I just can't say it's a good anime. Though it did have its good parts I guess. The thing with sailor moon (lota people dissing) is that this anime is for kids. Little girls who pretend they're princesses so you kind of have to take it from that perspective. You start out with a whiney junior high school who EVENTUALLY yes she eventually does get more mature.
Please don't post something like:
Astro boy- don't like it. < Back your opinion up with something, etc.
But let me get the list of bad anime going:
Narutaru- Bad plot, characters, design, etc.
Excel Saga- NO plot, main character dies in every episode, gets brought back and attempts to eat a puppy/dog.
this thread is a giant troll.
If you scraped them all together, this thread still wouldn't have enough brains to be a proper troll.
Gentlemen, gentlemen!
Obviously we have become fragmented and disjointed.
I submit one statement that I hope we can all come to an agreement upon, despite our differences:
Samurai Girl Real Bout High School is the worst anime ever. Period.
No, because Gatekeepers is only bad if you actually think it's a serious show.
>>13
You obviously haven't seen Clamp Campus Detectives.
i would have to say that the possibly worst anime I saw was
Mahoromantica...cloned story, bad character, bad subbing...overall just hated it.
the second worst anime I ever watched was neon genesis evangelion. I know this is supposed to be one of the big anime classics...but I can't stand it. the overall story was just sheerly annoying cause there was no real answers, and the fact that even the subbing was screwed up. I hated it...needless to say.
director "hey lets just throw this kid inside a dumb-ass robot and make him control it, like he's been doing it for a lifetime"
animators "sure lets do that, and then have the only other half way experienced person merge into some whacked out alien combo thing by the end of the series.."...
WTF were they thinking...and the movies to try and explain everything were worst.
anyways >>1 naruto is a good anime. the english dubbing sucks monkey balls. If you watch in w/ english voices you'll be cursed and endup hating a good anime series.
>>17 fails to distinguish Naruto from Narutaru.
Go directly to Fail The Internet. Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200.
my bad ppl. got confused. kudos to you for correcting my goof >>18
>>17
Mahoromantica?!? wtf? You say "cloned story" but you fail to realise that Mahoromatic is one of the anime that harem shows are cloning. It's a noteworth ecchi series. That being said I'm not a fan of it, or any other ecchi for that matter. (I'm the only person on the planet who hated Chobits to death.)
Eva may dissapoint you now, but wait a few years and you may enjoy it once you get bored of fighting shounen anime. I think once you read up on the anime, and its director you will find it more fascinating.
I'm not sure what subs you're talking about anyway, I've only seen these shows on dvd, but you can't hold bad subs against a show.
This thread is painfully stupid. Please just shut up.
(´・ω・｀) This thread will now segue into a discussion of how DBZ sucks.
For some reason I watched this show avidly many moons ago, but after seeing some anime gems like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo I finally realized how bad it was.
1) Throughout much of the series none of the non-Saiyan characters are important except as hostages/victims/comic relief. This includes the warriors who in the DragonBall series (notably less sucky) who are so blantantly overshadowed by the three or so main characters.
2) Each episode consists primarily of dramatic pauses and power-up sequences, meaning a total of 45 frames of animation appear per show.
3) Story arcs are way too long, dragged out primarily by the aforementioned with remaining time given to taunts and cliche'd philosophical waxing best described as 'white space'.
Anything else?
>>22
I agree. DBZ is a bad series. The characters/plot isn't bad, but...did they really have to make 8 episodes about stuff that can be done effectively in 2 episodes? It was bad enough back then, when it was shown on t.v. weekly. Now, it's a collector's nightmare. It's a shame, in the first season of Dragonball (no'Z', goku was a kid) the pace was just fine.
Another bad anime in my opinion was GREEN GREEN. Sure, it had the cute anime chicks and nudity. But the story was bad. Girl from the future and boy from the present, get together to fulfill a their destiny, which was foretold in legend...-urk! Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
For horny guys out there, you won't like this either. Like I said, there is nudity. But, let's see if you're still as cheeky when you witness your 8th homosexually-themed "gag". I guess it's for every type of guy...straight or otherwise.
My Otome, Fate Stay Night, Naruto, Ergo Proxy, Genshiken
> Genshiken
???????
Maybe the conclusion of the animejump review (that it was unratable because it means something completely different to everyone who reads it) is right after all.
hmm I haven't seen anything dangerously wrong with ergo proxy yet.. it hasn't turned me off like that Witch Hunter Robin did immediately. Oh how about Hellsing?? >__>; instead of drinking blood they should eat cheese, because that is all that their plot can amount to.
Fate/Stay Night needs to die now already. tu-ka Studio Deen should just get the fuck away from anime, they SUCK.
This thread attracts trolls like honey.
>>28
is this the part where i reply by trolling with "cutie honey is the worst anime ever"?
I am the kami of my 2GET.

So as I pray, unlimited troll works.
No, this is the point where I declare that the nadir of anime production was "Don't Leave Me Daisy", with Chobits being a very, very close second place.
>>27 how is Fate/stay night the worst? It's much better than the things that has been put up here, it's definitely not worse than Narutaru.
>>32 fails for trying to argue in a legendary shitty thread.
Elfen Lied
it combines all a shitty anime should have (ie: schysophrene, cute/gore combination, adding whatever at the end of each phrase -nuu...)
>>31
dears' full-on depravity makes chobits look positively charming by comparison. i've heard about daisy, and that sounds creepy as hell, but i'd say dears trumps it on premise alone.
This thread is so much troll. No one can not like Excel Saga.
I disagree with >>34. Elfen Lied is an amazing anime.
Elfen Lied seems to be simple shock for shock's sake, with no real thought or meaning behind it. It also completely destroys any remaining meaning it might have had by being full or pedo fanservice.
If you want something that's shocking for a reason, Narutaru is far superior in every way, and doesn't try to sugarcoat anything. >>1 is obviously far too immature to even understand the point of the show.
HARUHI FUCKING SUCKS
I stand by my opinion that narutaru and excel saga are bad. If they had children, hell would freeze over. If people think these are good anime, it makes me wonder what people in general think of as a good anime. Ex: Graveyard of the Fireflies. I don't care if I'm crossing genres, point is, no matter what genre if something is well done, then it's well done. If not, then obviously no. The thing about narutaru is that no matter how much they tried to unsugarcoat things, they did so by exagerating situations. Something as simple as the way that they talked was like Bush suddenly grew a brain and good vocabulary with proper pronounciation. I mean it's just illogical. And I'm saying that not in reference to the fact that there's magic crap in the show, but no matter how sci-fi or fantasy genre you get the point is that the characters remain human, so that the audience can step in their shoes and really feel the situation. In narutaru everything is so farfetched that you can't sit through five minutes of the show without losing interest.
Maybe you have never thought a bad thought in your life, and therefore can't empathize with what a lot of the characters say and do, but I know that I personally have, in my deepest darkest moments, thought things that some of those people say out loud, and act on. That's the power of the show (and even more so the manga) - it can work as a mirror of the darkest parts of yourself.
>>42
I have to say: I wish I didn't know what you were talking about.
But I do.
demon city shinjuku. My friend likes it but I hate the whole feel of the movie.
>>41 Cleary you haven't seen the final episode of Excel Saga. It was a mediocre show until the last episode. The last episode made all the other episodes awesome by proximity ... it was that great.
I've had lots of evil thoughts in mind. I've almost acted on a lot of them, but none the less I didn't act them out in a cheesy way like this. I've seen and experienced bullying at the elementry level, and it isn't anything like that. Most kids don't know enough anyway. See I wouldn't have such a problem with the show if they didn't try to slop all of this on like underdeveloped children. There's some things you just don't have a full scope on as kids. If they stuck this on some late teens or adults it would be a whole other story.
I believe the original purpose of the thread was to list anime's you thought sucked and instead its turned into a flame war. Anyhow, the only anime that truly sucked for me:
Air Master - girl who can fly from doing gymnastics (wtf?) and has no character...I saw it was a "martial arts" anime so I went and downloaded it. What a fucking waste of my time. I went and watched Tenjou Tenge instead...
I haven't watched Narutaru or Excel Saga or any of that stuff so I dunno whether it's good or bad. But no matter how much people say DBZ sucks or whatever, everybody has their own taste. For me, DBZ was my first anime (be it good or bad to others) so it holds a place for me. I steer clear of that mainstream stuff like Witch Hunter Robin or Inuyasha simply because its the shit Cartoon Network licenses and dubs to shit.
And in response, Mai Otome was excellent (its spin off anime was not nearly as good), Naruto was good till the filler shit, and Elfen Lied was decent.
> If they stuck this on some late teens or adults it would be a whole other story.
And it would lose all impact. There are any number of shows like that. The whole point is to put power in the hands of children, who do not yet fully comprehend the consequences of their actions or emphatize with those affected by their actions.
Mai Otome was the spinoff, genius.
i doubt the kid's mature enough to know what you're alking about, here.
haruhi sucks so much ass
Hello again, Mr. ID:Sm2oDBTP, failed troll extraordinaire.
I don't quite understand the Haruhi hype myself. I watched eps. 1-4 and found it somewhat amusing, nowhere near as fun as the first few episodes of Azumanga or Halle Nochi Guu.
Is it because there is a cute main character that fans can lavish with their attention?
Should I rewatch the episodes? I must be missing something.
No, it's because there's an abrasive and willful main character the fans can be afraid of (or admire).
Also, Mikuru Beam.
your the failure
i take it no one is allowed to hate popular anime because they genually dont like it?
hating something you like is failure amirite?
fucking moron
No acting like a jackass because someones opinion conflicts your own is double failure and pathetic
some people like me dont like writing huge explanations about why a series sucks, its pretty clear what someones opinion is, if they say HARUHI SUCKS its clear and too the point, would you rather people filled the screen with dribble about why they hate a show?
This is a discussion board. It's kind of the point to discuss stuff. However, to do this, you have to be able to actually express yourself in the language used. This does not seem to be your strong side.
Ichigo Mashimaro is pretty bad... UNLESS you're a pedo. If so, it's the best anime ever. LOLI FTW!
I think you are wrong.
This thread is incredible.
WORST THREAD EVER!
EVA
Appleseed
How can you hate Appleseed! Or Eva?!?
Bunny senses troll ;_;
Now Appleseed, there's a good choice for the worst anime ever. I want the two hours I spent watching that back.
The thing was a total mess, having none of the wit or charm of the manga, and being dumbed down and still not making any sense.
I would have to say One Piece. Horrible voice acting. And possibly Zatch Bell.
WHAT T F R U TALKIN 'BOUT?
Let the lolicon reign!!!!
Ah yes, the highly literate and articulate pedophile contingent make their contribution.
Worst anime ever. Ettou... I'm not too fond of the XXXHolic anime adaption (though I still download it and love the manga to no end), Bobo bobobobo ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I mean, seriously, and One Piece as well, but only because the dubbing scared me ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡, and I couldn't bring myself to read the manga.
Elfen Lied - worst anima evar ;)
Yes, shows popular enough to be licensed must obviously be terrible.
Also, I just want to mention the anime Angel Cop, because Manga had to censor its translation so nobody would notice that the antagonists were "the Jewish Conspiracy".
Come on! If you won't talk about Angel Cop, how am I supposed to introduce you to Mad Bull?
>Yes, shows popular enough to be licensed must obviously be terrible.
sad but true. western tastes are different.
>>71
lol at "ettou"
anyway the rule for bad anime is basically if anybody who isn't me has seen it, it's total shit. basically anime is only cool five minutes after the raw is released. after that somebody watches it. after THAT somebody fansubs it, so it's half as cool right there. if somebody licenses it for US release, its coolness plummets to ten percent and god forbid they show it on US television, because then an already shitty show loses all of its credibility.
You mean in the 4Kids dub, right? In that case, then I agree with you. The Japanese voices are better. Usopp's voice doesn't sound like a castrated talking weenie in the original, and Sanji smokes a cigarette, not a lollipop.
Oh my god what is the shit from the last post?
Allow me to sum it up in one famous phrase...
"You're Favorite Anime Sucks"
Silent Mobius. Period.
Real Bout High School.
Tokyo Babylon
I know. I watched an episode of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo last night on Toonami, and I could hardly understand it. I heard it is full of Japanese jokes and untranslatable pop-culture references, but, if it is, they were either removed in favor of weirder stuff, directly translated (leaving non-Japanese watching the show confused), or just left in without explanation, or aybe I missed a lot because I was taping the show, and half-watching it and also half-chatting on IRC.
Either way, it's certainly weird. Viz also left on a ton of Japanese text, which I can read, but which probably leaves many people rolling around in their chairs from confusion over what those weird symbols mean. It was kind of funny, thoguh, in a really weird way.
I also just looked up who writes it on Wikipedia, and it's written by Yoshio Sawai. Feel free to do a Google search for him and report on if he really does crack or not.
Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Spoliers! I hate myself, JK!
Blood the last vampire
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is soooooooooo out there I get completely lost watching the episode beginning to end. WTF is going on in that show!? Reign also sucked big time.
Reign sucked my Period.
I think most of the anime you've mentioned are good, actually..
Worst anime I've seen... Darkside Blues. Seriously, what the crap?
Reign. Self-explanatory.
FMA. Forced angsty bullshit.
Trigun. A pale copy of the manga, with equally bad animation and rushed story arcs.
Rurouni Kenshin. Mindless shonen garbage.
You know NOTHING about bad. Trigun? TRIGUN?
http://tokyotosho.com/search.php?terms=Mad+Bull
There was an anime made of this, and it was completely accurate. Try that before you talk about something popular enough to make it onto CN.
>>93garbage
Try Blue Gender with its preachy save the planet ending
Platonic Chain - wooden cgi characters, no plot, no redeeming features at all. In fact just like an ordinary low budget schedule filler western childrens cartoon.
worst anime i seen? Cosprayers =P
Psh, I agree with 94, you guys know NOTHING of bad anime. Go watch Rootsearch and Zeguy then come back and say "..." or "..." sucks. Seriously, you're all spoiled.
>>94
whoa there. mad bull 34 is a masterpiece.
Even Roots Search isn't really that bad. But I like Odin.
