I don’t like DBZ.. I have all respect for people who do though, whatever floats you boat ^^;
I think it has a bad storyline.. And the scenes where they fight, or have to wait for something important, always gets delayed and last for like.. 10-15 episodes.
Especially that battle with Freeza.. That was horrible o.O I skipped watching for about 3 weeks and they were still fighting. (or actually, just standing in front of eachother, threatening to fight / gathering energy / talking to themselves / etc.. )
Uh.. That’s just my opinion ^^;

But about Pokemon:
Well, there is no point. There does not have to be a point. But Pokemon makes something important possible. Merchandise. And cute stuffed animals, a card game, video games… Hm. So there is a point, money. *evillaughter*
I like the DBZ anime….but HATE the manga…its defenatly not ment for still frames.
Pokemon…..*shivers*
However, I have found it is a good cure for insomnia….. ๐
I thouroughly did not enjoy Angel Sanctuary O_O
Note to Natsumi: You kinda based Pokemon for being a kiddie anime, but you have Di Gi Charat in your Sig/Avatar…….. just an observation.
<font color="green">Okay, so, both Pokemon and Digi Charat may be "kiddie" but at least Digi Charat is way better than Pokemon.

I thouroughly did not enjoy Angel Sanctuary O_O
Its also a diffrence between disliking the anime and liking the pics and art :uh?:
There are alot of very wel drawend anime but it has such a bad storyline noone watch it. ๐ฎ
mmkay now abouth me what I hate most, I think il pick dbz
I really dislike dbz… it makes no sense.. all they do is moan and groan for like 10 weeks long and then somebody get’s killed or transforms into something ultra hyper something o_o
Pokemon…. I dun really need to explain it do I?
Shinzo isn’t all bad.., but it’s just some kid anime though ๐
Amazing Nurse Nanako
Love Hina
Moncolle Knights
Flint: TTD
Harlock Saga
Galaxy express 999
I just want to fall asleep when i watch these shows. Especially the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th of those shows.
How is Love Hina the worst? Come on, I love that series, especially the first time I watched it.^^ I admit that the mecha turtles and the secret mecha society are ridiculous, but the story is actually really good. I read the manga first, and while the anime isn’t as good as the manga, it was still great fun. Keitaro and Narusegawa make the cutest couple.
<font color="#ff69b4">Love Hina is really cool *has the manga* =D Its funny how Naru can get a quick temper.
btw i really wanna buy some trigun dvd volumes!
hehe look at my avatar, legato bluesummers i think his name is
peace
I also do not like Digimon…
The Trigun anime kinda dissappointed me… and the dubbed voices(mainly Vash’s) were awful. I suggest reading the manga… much more graphic… and if you are one of those Vash/Midvalley/Wolfwood lovers… they(in my opinion, anyway) look way better in the manga.
Then again, these are MY opinions… they don’t really matter.
Like they say… everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion…
I think this anime is very crazy & full of stupidity…
Not for me….
Tenchi Muyo. Period.
and pokemon
The Tekken Movie
Battle Arena Toshinden
those anime I detest. Though the ones I dislike…I would go with Love Hina as well. I don’t know why, but it seems like every manga akamatsu ken writes, I love it. But once it becomes an anime…boy…it just leaves a lot to be desired. From the inappropriate moments of "comedy" to the repetitive nature of naru and keitaro’s relationship, and the lack of real manga continuity…it just sucks…same goes to a degree with the mahou sensei negima franchise…
dot Hack was terrible
.hack legend was probably one of the worst things I’ve ever seen as far as milking a good franchise for all it’s worth. .hack//sign was love it or hate it. I personally fell in love with it. From the amazing and clean animation, to the original story and engrossing plot, to the characters that each had their own motives. In a sense, while watching .hack//sign, I felt like a character of the "guilds" that were created, and I felt like a member of the audience as we got a true background of who the characters were on the outside of the net. I will say this though
if all you like is action, you will probably hate sign
but for a anime with a solid story, engrossing characters, one of the best soundtracks I have heard to date, I really recommend this title. If you have patience, by episode 5, you are hooked.
I like Dragon Ball, DBZ was ok, but i hate GT. I did not liked Capitain tsubasa too, but it was fun.

The one I hated was the one with that grey haired kid. I give that series a 2/10
lemme guess…not enough action right? I don’t think .hack//sign was ever supposed to be action packed or oriented, but I think it was always supposed to progress as an anime story however, and it did that well…and I loved how every scene had an accompanying background sound to it. It is a good show to me…probably one of the best…it is definatley on my top 30 anime of all time
you watch the full series, you see, actually, ever single character story and plot in the entire anime…
seriously, stick with this title, it is an amazing anime…and too revolutionary, and I’m not saying that because I’m some sort of .hack//sign lover, it’s pretty true. Give the anime at least 5 episodes, you want to watch more…because it’s a personal anime…
and in that, it’s nothing like naruto that it’s 100 percent action and it’s pretty boring and repetitive outside of that…
and if anything, for an anime animated in 2001, the art is probably some of the best I’ve seen. Also the music is some of the best I’ve heard in anime (and looking at over 100s of soundtracks of CDs around my apartment, that is a pretty big thing to say)
I’ve never seen the other ‘episodes’ on sale anywhere, so I don’t actually know if they’re hard to find or it got cancelled after the first two episodes.

I have watched the full story. What annoyed me was that after every episode, they kind of hinted that something exciting was going to happen (action, progression in the plot) and it never happened.
PS. I thought S-Cry_ed was great until the end where it fell apart. Especially episode 2 ๐
I have no doubt that there are people out there who would probably love it. Like.. every one who enjoys watching Excel Saga. And while I mention it I have to say I dislike that anime too. Shows that are just so amazingly random, have so much fanservice, have no content… well I just dislike them very strongly. And sadly I have no respect for people who think shows like that are the best thing there ever was and will be.
And this is where my slight tirade comes to a close.
Neon Eva.-Downloaded a couple of episodes and I got the impression that the writer had issues. . .and what do you know, I was right. Someone should have told him that having depression while writing is not a good thing.(Trust me, I know!) Anyway, I decided to just download the final two parts.(regular episode and end of eva). That had to be the worst ending I’ve ever seen in my life! I got the overall idea of the ending. . .after about two weeks! And Shinji. . .let me put this way. Do we want a little whining momma’s boy as a hero or do we want someone who goes out and kick butt because he(or she) can? In reality Shinji would be someone most likely to bring a gun to school and use it! After watching what little that I could stand, I ended up with the impression of what a bad acid trip must be like.
What really ticks me off is that Hideaki Anno is going to do a ‘retelling’ of that bad acid trip called Neon Genesis Evangelion!
Seemed like a kind of incest overtone was there. Made me kinda sick.
Plus the pacing and stuff was terrible story telling wise.
There’s not many that take the piss as much as these do. >_<
was a love/hate thing for me. i loved the randomness and excel’s character was priceless. the parodies were brilliant too.
HATED the repetitiveness and i was always thinking, why am i even watching this?, is this even going anywhere?. then on the last episode a plot development occurs, yay?
and so on..
Man that pissed me off.
i used to like a bit
but.. then it just git boring and repetitive =[
Dont worry hes just one of those people who says they hate FF7 just so they dont come across as a fanboyish n00b.
Digimon… WTF was that supposed to be a slightly alterd version of Pokemon.
Fanboyish noob… Lol
Dragonball GT was a pile of ass, though.
I absolutely loathe Fruits Basket and Ouran. MAR was also a piece of shit, from what little of it my friend forced me to watch.
I also can’t stand shonen-ai manga and anime. Hardcore yaoi? Fine. But shonen-ai makes me die a little inside due to all the obnoxious and generic blond boys falling in love with tall dark and handsome. Please, give me some NOT boring gay content, and I may stop insulting that tripe that you call "gay romance".
1. No US distributes will ever buy it and
2. It will never gain enough notoriety for most people to download it.
This being said, I severely disliked ‘Earth Girl Arjuna’.

This being said, I severely disliked ???Earth Girl Arjuna???.
which makes no sense seeing that ocean group and blue water dubbed the series and aired on Adult Swim on demand…
The creators of GT can suck my nuts.
I agree. It was also an atrocious Anime adaptation from the Fighting genre Video Game, and if only the game’s artwork was spectactular as the other aspects of game overall, it might have stood a chance. Dismal failure, as it also is imputed to the bankruptcy of Technos Japan. T_T
Just for the record, it’s Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer. =P
Dragonball is my no.1 object of hate when it comes to animanga. I don’t like the plot, nor do I like how it’s animated, the characters, the voice actors, their idiotic ways of fighting. It’s ridiculous and lame. If it’s on the TV and nothing else was on, the I’d switch off the telly. No matter how much I feel like watching atleast s o m e t h i n g. A few years ago a friend of mine put me through hell when he got the odd idea in his head that we were to watch a whole box of the thing. His idea was severally voted down after only two episodes. Don’t really see the point with it, it’s a shame that kids watch this, even worse when grownups do too.
Digimon. As soon as I hear the opening song I switch channels. But I’ve watched it when there’s been nothing else. The story isn’t made for grownups but I still wouldn’t let a kid watch this either.
Yu-gi-oh is ok but every thing else sucks.
– D.I.C.E. (No comment)
– Detective Conan (I don’t hate this, but I think Spiral is better)
– F-Zero (The worst videogame adaptation)
– Gravitation 2000 (A gay anime? Hell no!!!!)
– Hamtaro (No comment)
– Pokemon (No comment)
– Rockman.EXE (A stupid Megamen parody)
Green Green
Duel Masters
Monster Rancher
Digimon
Dragonball z (Thats better than Naruto though)
I used to be obsessed with Dragonball Z a looong time ago, but now that I look back on it, I shake my head in shame.
here here, cheers. ๐
Naruto (Annoying and just…lame.)
Inuyasha (Repetitive and boring.)
Beyblade (It`s alright but it gets old quick.)
Bleach (I love the art style though!)
Teen Titans (I count this as an anime. lol)
Kiddy Grade (VERY boring!)
I can`t think of any others right now. XD
I will gag. Overly pretentious animes are crap too/
BO BO BO-BO-BO-BO BO (nose hairs of doom)
Blue Gender (alien bugs = boring)
Ghost in the Shell ( I always fall asleep because it is so boring. Good intro, though)
but i wanna think twice about that because it could be it just came on too late and i was too tired by then. so i should prolly give them both a second chance. (maybe)
i don’t like hating anime. i wanna love it all. i wanna go back to where there wasn’t a single anime i dind’t like. i was cool like that back then. i understood everything! yah. i might do that. totally cool.
"Non-fanboy’s Rant Thread"

I actually likes Card Captors…
dun dun duuuuuun!!
– DBZ, really badly drawn men whi rip their shirts off… uhh.
QUOTE]
Do you like nicely drawn men ripping their shirts off?
Just kidding!
Um, yeah, it is. They’re cartoons. From Japan. Therefore, Pokemon and Digimon = anime. ๐
.
Though, in all technicalities, all cartoons could be considered "anime", since it’s simply a shortening for "animation". In Japan, American cartoons are called anime as well as their own cartoons.
Pokemon and digimon and things like that,
I like the pokemon games but the series sucks, Ash has been all over the world and got badges and stuff but he still hasnt evolved that damn Bulbasaur
Id hardly even call Pokemon/digimon anime, it may look like it, but it sooo isnt
Animated? Check.
Made in Japan? Check.
I think it fulfills the all basic requirements for being called anime, so that statement was really dumb.
Yes i know technically all cartoons can be called anime,as they are animations, but anime is usually specifically associated with Japanese, and a certain style
While Pokemon and digimon are still anime they could be called "less anime" than Other such series made specifically for a japanese audience.
Oh and why are the times of posts messed up??
Personally, I fucking hate shows like Fruits Basket and Ouran, but I still consider them anime. Just really shitty anime.
REIGN: The Conqueror
Also, from reading the entire topic, it seems like some of these claims are based on only watching the dubs. I’m not one of those elitists that believes that all subs are better than dubs, but there are many cases.
Also, in the case of DragonBall, there’s a reason that the Freeza battle was drawn out for so long. Toriyama wanted to end it with Goku becoming a Super Sayian and defeating Frieza, but dying while trying to escape. Just like the story arc did end. Only problem was that the fans wanted more. He then made the Android and Cell story arcs. Was once again supposed to end with Goku dying to save everyone. Fans STILL wanted more. Toriyama then made the Buu arc. He was then able to end it. Fans STILL wanted EVEN MORE. That’s where GT comes in. The only thing that Toriyama had to do with that was a few character designs.
Also, I will openly admit that I liked Digimon. That is, up until Frontier.
For those who don’t know, each "Season" was actually a different series.
S1: Adventure 01 (First half of Digimon Adventure, the good one)
S2: Adventure 02 (Second half, not so great)
S3: Tamers (Currently the best of the 4 completed series)
S4: Frontier (Almost everyone didn’t like this one compared to the others)
S5: Savers (Currently airing in Japan, is getting to Tamers level quality. And that’s a good thing.)
About .hack//SIGN, it was mainly used as a story-based prequel to the 4 .hack games for the PS2. After that, they released .hack//DUSK, also known as Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. It was meant to be more light hearted.Just now, they have released the new game .hack//G.U. Rebirth and the new anime .hack//ROOTS. I know nothing about Roots except for the fact that is’s to be aired on Cartoon Network.
I’m not trying to change your opinions, I know that you can love what you love, and hate what you hate. I’m not trying to change that.
Also, just so you know, my current favorite anime is:
Mobile Fighter G Gundam
Thank you for your time, and good night.
its actually a oka anime
but kyo is just bad compare to its original manga…i love the manga =v=”
**SPOILER**
Featuring…
Inuyashas ending
Inuyasha. Way to long it has like a hundred or so episodes and in the end it has no conclusion; that really pissed me off, it was ok in the begining but it is just to repetitive.
I may also add pokemon, yugioh, beyblade etc…
Oh, and SD Gundam… horrible. In english and japanese. That’s is all I have to say.
Love Hina:
One joke spanned over 26 episodes gets really old really fast. Throw in some really bad character development and cliche’d plots and you’ve got one boring anime.
Dragonball Z/GT:
I must be clear here and say that I absolutely hate DBZ and GT, though the original is bearable. Where the original had some nice comic relief and was genuinely fresh the same can’t be said for DBZ/GT. I know that it the filler episodes where created to keep it with the Manga but that doesn’t excuse the fact that it moves along at a depressingly slow pace. Again, bad characters and weak storylines don’t help it. The animation is just plain bad and the ‘fighting’ if you can even call it that, well the less said the better.
Neon Genesis Evangellion:
This is one that I’ll probably get a lot of heat for but I honestly think that its THE most overrate anime of all time. The characters never change, behave in unrealistic ways and the story never really advances or goes anywhere. Episodes exist simply to have another angel attack. The religous symbolism is excessive and I had to take time out to look it all up because I’m not a christian so it didn’t make sense to me at first. However, thats not my reason for hating it. The reason is that its plot was bad and its characters were bad. Though admittedly the mechs are some of my all time favorites.
Street Fighter 2V:
I love Street Fighter and it pains me to say this but this was THE worst iteration of it ever. Atleast the Jean Claude Van Damme movie was funny in how bad it was. This had the absolute worst soundtrack of any anime ever, and had so many inaccuracies that it wasn’t even funny. Ken is a redhead? Well thats news to me. Just a terrible anime that should be avoided at all costs.
Tenchi Muyo:
Bad, just bad.
Blue Gender:
What started out as a very cool anime with an interesting 28 Days later kind of feel quickly deteriorated into misguided train wreck of a series. It ran into issues with character development as soon as they arrive on second earth. Characters switch roles and the plot twists had potential but were just never saw through. Towards the end they ran out of steam and pulled of the worst ending ever. It started out with a qausi scientific explanation for everything but by the end we’ve got the ‘will of the earth,’ please what BS. Also, why have mechs if they roll on wheels and with an open cockpit? Why not just use a damn tank?
Yu Yu Hakusho:
What can be said about this anime? Bad characters? Bad Soundtrack? Well all of those and more. Again we have another cliche storyline where our main character is annoying as hell and magically gets the strength to overcome every obstacle in his way. Now granted there are a few occasions where he doesn’t always prevail but they’re just too sparse to give the anime any kind of redeeming qualities. There were some cool characters though, Hiei is still one of my favorite characters from any anime. That said, for the most part the characters are terrible.
Rurouni Kenshin (Shishio Arc Only):
I loved the first third, last third and OVAs of Rurouni Kenshin but this middle arc is god awful. Kenshin NEVER changes at all. Its just ridiculously absurd. Oh and the fights. The fights were terrible, repetetive and I find it very hard to believe that Kenshin is such a great fighter when the second his sword is gone hes useless. So you’re telling me that he doesn’t know any hand to hand? The only thing that redeemed it were Kenshin’s Sensei and Sanoske.
Those are what come to mind right now.
i liked sf2v though. lol. this was back in the day when i would go renting for anime at the local video store. are you sure your tv dind’t have some wierd tint to it cause his hair was pretty much orange the whole time. orange is like somewhat blonde…:p (depending on shade and light source…)
tenchi muyo bad? >.< aaaahhh! funny how tastes differ so greatly sometimes. i love dbz. ๐
ah well. i ain’t gonna try to convince you or defend it or anything. gotta respect the fact that some people like diffrent things. :p
at first, it started of quite nice (i watched this show two years ago, so back then it didn’t bother me so much that it was a little bit childish) the search and introduction of the characters was nicely done, and also the evil guy was introduced.
but then, it became boring, really boring. the transformation was always the same, episode after episode after episode. then, it appeared more "evil" characters were going to appear but that just made the show worse.
it’s 52 episodes, every episode fighting a monster without a purpose, i never watched it till the end, i just found it so old and the same thing over and over again.
And i’m sorry for all the naruto fans, but i just hate the fillers. i love the regular show, when they follow the manga, that’s nice. but the fillers are just horrible. no story at all, lame joke and making fun of their own character every episode again.
i really really really think
orphen 2 sucks!!
this show is just soooo fucking boring and stupid. i like filler episodes if i love the characters and i just love watching what they do day in and day out. but in this case, i DON’T love the characters! i think they suck. i think they suck. and i think they suck. not fun to watch them. and ye the fillers go on. they use the 20 minutes of filler and 5 minutes of important story format that many crap anime’s use. they give only teensy bit of hints that there’s some type of story progression but in reality there really isn’t. just more filler. >.<
anyone else seen it? supposedly the first series is good.
Bebop and Ghost in the Shell?
Christwagons ;_;; I mean, yeah GITS is excusable because that’s a little out there and you really have to watch it from episode 1 to understand most of everything. The 2nd GiG is most certainly my favorite and the movies are excellent.
But Bebop? That’s far from boring and uninteresting. There’s alot of action, the dialogue is pretty amusing, the characters aren’t typical, and not to mention one of the most amazing soundtracks I’ve ever heard. Maybe you should sit and watch the entire series from episode 1 or again (if you’ve seen them all) to really establish something a little more solid, but to each their own I guess.
Well, with that said, I’m just going to blow off the fact that you mentioned Bebop as the worst because this isn’t the "Anime I Dislike Thread". If anyone ever honestly said it was the worst, I’d expect a damn good arguement.
~That is all.
DBZ(or any Dragonball for that matter) for some reason I didn’t like the animation and the story was kinda boring.
Inuyasha- too overrated sometimes and it seemed like it would never end.
BO BO BO-BO-BO-BO BO- I don’t think I really need a reason for this one.
Duel Masters- too random for me and I didn’t get the rules of the game.
And basically anything excessively bloody- I guess I have a weak stomach :P.
Unlike most people who posted, I do like Digimon and Pokemon(but Digimon more). For Pokemon, I mainly liked the first season best and the 3rd, 6th, and 8th movie. I liked Digimon because the story was a little more complex but as I got older I realized how lame the theme song and the jokes were so I watch the Japanese versions now, which are a whole lot better than the dub(especially the music). My favorite season is Tamers followed by Savers.
Hika Yagami
And as for InuYasha, I was a huge fan at one point. But then I realized that-in the 300 or so episodes that are out there- absolutely nothing happens. If you compare the first few episodes to the last few, there are almost no differences.
When the series ends, have they collected all the jewel shards? No.
Have they killed Naraku? No.
Has Inuyasha finally gotten off his *** and chosen between Kikyo and Kagome?
Nope.
Gah! It’s so annoying!
But yeah, Inuyasha sucks pretty fucking bad.
Stellar effort! Now, let’s try and rephrase that so everybody can actually understand what the fuck you’re trying to say.
But that’s just me.
special mention to Big O as well.
Agreed!
Then, there is Sekushi Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=804)… "Sexy Commando" form of martial art??! What an idea!
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED DESTINY!!!
As a Gundam fan, I thought it would be a good series, but it’s a train wreak. Starts out sort of interesting, then deteriorates when Jesus Yamato shows up. It gets even worse when he not only survives an anti-ship sword through the cockpit, but then steals the spotlight from the main character. It’s bad enough that the story is a failed copy of Zeta Gundam, but it gets a lot worse with the constant recaps and flashbacks. Of course, let’s not forget the screwed up stock footage used. The ending overall is just crap and completely anti-climactic. See, this is why you don’t hire a director who hires his wife as a writer… Luckily, that bastard Fukuda and his wife, Morosawa, have been fired. It’s a good thing Gundam Seed CE 73: Stargazer came out to partially redeem the biggest failure in the history of Gundam. Still, it sucked that it was only made up of three 15-minute segments. I know they are going to have a total of four compilation movies, but from what I’ve heard, the ones so far are horrible. The only thing that can redeem it is if they completely change the ending and just flat out kill Kira. I’d love to see the "Awakening Light" ending occur instead…
In second place is Mobile Suit Gundam Seed because it was completely unoriginal and suffered almost all the problems of its sequel, including major changes in the planned storyline. It’s barely acceptable as a Gundam series. Still, it was its sequel that made me just not consider CE as part of Gundam at all.
As for the other AU series, they’re a hell lot better than anything from CE. Although I did dislike G Gundam, it took a while to see its different portrayal of war, since I wasn’t too familiar with other Super Robot animes. As for Gundam Wing, it’s pretty much an exemplary AU series and does tributes correctly without ripping off UC. Even though there are recaps and stock footage, its not as bad or as noticeable as Seed’s. The only problem is character development, which is why you would have to turn to parts of Endless Waltz and especially its manga, Episode Zero. Gundam X is not exactly considered AU anymore, but it was originally considered one. The characters are interesting and the plot is very good, but it did suffer problems because it got cut ten episodes short. If it was brought over here, it may do better than Gundam Wing, considering many idolize Wing Zero as a god, but the Gundam X could kick it’s ass…
I used to watch DBZ because we only had one tv, and that’s all my older brother and our cousins wanted to watch. I never understood or liked it…
I miss the old Pokemon series. Sometimes I catch the old episodes, but I haven’t lately. There are all these new Pokemon, and they just look odd… and that’s a bad odd.
I also hate "Prince of Tennis"? How fucken dramatical can every shot be!
Sorry to say this, but I also hate Evangelion (fell asleep), Gundam "Waltz", Macross 7, Pukemon.
The first 3 seasons of Digimon were cool.

Word.
I honestly don’t get what the big deal is with Evangelion.
Also…Naruto, DBZ, Prince of Tennis, and any other anime that repeatedly overdramaticizes the smallest things can just rot for all I care.
Also, Pokemon makes me sad, but I enjoy Pikachu because it’s cute and I have a backpack shaped like it. I also did not like Trinity Blood, because Abel was exactly the same as Vash from Trigun. He ruined the show.
Good point. I prefer Pok???mon over DBZ. Personally, I HATE the kind of drawing on DBZ. Bleck. Too much detail. Anime is SUPPOSED to be somewhat cheap, ne?
Wow I would hate to see your anime collection where everything looks so cheap… Dragonball Z is not overly detailed, especially considering shows and movies being presented today. Dragonball Z also came out in the late 80’s early 90’s in japan, so it has an excuse of being up to par by today’s standards.
Try some better shows than Pokemon… have a look at Blood+, Fullmetal Alchemist… anything by Studios Gonzo or Ghibli.
Anyway, bottom line is… I’ll never take suggestions that aren’t on my actual want to see list anymore.
It’s totally moronic. The hair, the characters, everything. @__@
I hate it all.
Mouse was pretty stupid.
But! The show Gantz, while it had TONS of potential, went basically nowhere. I hear the manga’s great, but the show sucked. Something akin to DBZ’s characters grunting and looking at each other for an entire episode, saying "but.. how? how is he still alive?" etc etc.
Seemed too much of a cheap excuse to make a show about excessive (while sometimes well done) violence and nudity, without much substance behind it.
True, DBZ could have been a lot worse. It did help me pass the time in middle school. Not like I had anything else to look forward to on a day-to-day basis, anyway… X P
Inyuasha or however the freak you spell it. REALLY found this boring.
Yu Yu Hakusho, also boring.
Sorry if anyone are fans of these animes’, no hard feelings ya?
Inyuasha- dude, they didn’t even kill the bad guy in the end
Digimon- "Pokemon" and "Digimon" lol I thought they were the same things! (sarcasm)
Pokemon- It’s been more than 10 freaking years since in aired in the USA, and it’s still goin. WHEN WILL THE ENDLESS JOURNEY END?!!??!!
Sailor Moon- I can’t believe I was 7 and I watched this.
Yugi-Oh- It-it-it……..*sigh* i’m speechless.
Dragonball, which isn’t such a bad series itself (Its more of a kids fairy tale series) left off with some nagging questions like "What’s the deal with Goku and his tail?" Well DBZ I think came about to explain all that
I think DBZ would’ve been a better series if they had cut off after the Cell saga when Goku dies and Gohan beats Cell for the final time. You have the conclusion that Goku had fulfilled his role as Earth’s hero and that it was up to the next generation to take care of things. Nice and tidy
That would have been good. Instead we had Goku coming back more powerful than ever and then the whole fusion, the next levels of Super Saiyan. It was all a big mess of lame predictable crap
As for my vote for worst anime? Gasaraki.. I bought it a few years ago, and considering I can’t get past the first episode without being bored to tears… yeah
Yu Yu Hakusho, also boring.
Sorry if anyone are fans of these animes’, no hard feelings ya?
Yu Yu Hakusho is great. Although I think it takes until the 2nd half of the series to really appreciate it (end of dark tournament and onwards) But yeah everyone has their own opinions
the gay snail and fish are hilarious though. and i do like some of the inside jokes. but….idk. it’s just…wierd. lol
Worst anime I’ve seen would have to be Naruto. The main reason is Naruto himself.
And it wasn’t bad but I never really got too into Yu Yu Hakusho.
i just grew a strong dislike for you.
>:O
*spoilers*
They killed off the main character. They killed off a lot of other characters. Everyone just DIES in this anime. I don’t understand why they had to kill off the main character. The ending was just very unsatisfying, IMO. I mean, I don’t mind when endings aren’t "the greatest".. but that was over the top.
There was another one.. Blue Gender I think? That was soooo damn boring. I watched some episodes, only halfway, and I think all it was about was the guy getting some booty with as much girls as he could.
Inuyasha… well, that’s self explanatory. More than half the crap that happens in that series is unnecessary. They could’ve finished everything in at LEAST 10 episodes.
Naruto Filler- Like I give a damn about some stupid village with a meteorite or a super blood hound bug or any of the other five thousand inane storylines.
Naruto would have to be second on my list. The only saving grace it had, to me at least, was Gaara being voiced by Ishida Akira.
And not with the bit about Naruto, because that really is garbage.
It’s pretty lame to watch 5 episodes of a 36 episode series and claim that it has no story. And the anti-dub elitism is just plain old. Anyone who still clings to the archaic and incorrect notion that dubs are somehow inherently inferior is a laughingstock now.

I disike the lack of talented voice acting for the non-franchised anime, I don’t hate dubs. I hate bad dubs. That one was a bad dub. Should I have clarified this? 5 episodes is more than enough, especially in a relatively short series such as that, to show what the story is about. Have you seen it? Are you an Utena fan? If so, explain to me why. Perhaps there was some grand finish to it that redeemed it?
Either way, I was under the impression this thread was about personal opinions, and my opinion was that Utena was just plain horrible.
btw i’m just kidding. prak saw it all and loved it. ๐
ok i was kidding again. he was part of the creative staff and voiced zecks marquis. :p (lol i would worship prak if that was true, that’s a badass voice >.< lol)
Either way, I was under the impression this thread was about personal opinions, and my opinion was that Utena was just plain horrible.
I have seen Utena, and although I liked it overall, I do have somewhat mixed feelings about it. While the pacing is a bit wonky early on, it does develop as it goes. Also, it is not uncommon at all for an anime series, including some that are wildly popular, to run longer than that before an actual story emerges.
As far as opinions go, that’s a cop-out and really isn’t useful in discussion. This thread is not just for stating your views. It’s also for discussing them. Anything you say is fair game. If you can’t deal with that, you should settle for simply muttering to yourself in the shower or something.
prak once saw the first 5 episodes of gundam wing and he hates it. see what an injustice only 5 eps is? gundam wing is the greatest! you should watch all of utena then talk. :p
btw i’m just kidding. prak saw it all and loved it. ๐
ok i was kidding again. he was part of the creative staff and voiced zecks marquis. :p (lol i would worship prak if that was true, that’s a badass voice >.< lol)
Just for the sake of clarity, Gundam Wing is utter shit.
lol but yah i know you hate it. that’s what made my lies funnier. :p
Duel Masters was bullshit too. The character designs were poorly done. Come on! Yu-Gi-oH Was better and that rocked..Digimon sucks too.
So what exactly was so horrible about Haruhi?
So what exactly was so horrible about Haruhi?
Good point, actually. But…I guess its kind of hard to choose a "worst" anime that doesn’t have any basis on your own personal feelings on that show. Maybe the thread should be titled "Least Favorite".
With that said…Pokemon is the WORST. ANIME. EVER. Opinions mean nothing on this; its a fact of life :p
Really, the only thing that is even remotely likable about that godforsaken piece of crap is the Mechanical designs, which were done by Shoji Kawamori.
I was lucky to find the Wikipedia entry for this show. Here’s the plot synopsis from said wiki entry:
Brought together by the mysterious Dr. Tarsan, four psychic warriors Miya Alice, Lamba Nom, Rol Kran and Pai Thunder can unite four powerful planes to form Dangaioh – the most powerful weapon in the universe. Using their psionic force, the Dangaioh team alone can stop the bloody tyranny of Captain Garimoth and Gil-Berg.
The team hopes their psychogenic wave will be strong enough to destroy Garimoth’s evil henchman, the notorious Gil-Berg, who has sworn by the taking of his right eye to utterly destroy the Dangaioh team. Along with the threat of Gil-Berg, the Dangaioh team must also avoid falling foul of Garimoth’s trickery which finds weakness in their forgotten pasts.
::groan:: To this day, I want my two hours back and resent the fact that I can’t tell myself "Don’t watch the damn show". It has nothing to do with the release being from Streamline (if ANYONE knows what I’m talking about here, I’d be pleased). It is just utter poo.
If anyone else wonders why I sat through it if I felt so strongly about it, it has a lot to do with the fact that I was reviewing it for a website. I’m sure, if I could find it, that review would be particularly unhappy. It’s possible.
So, anyway, that’s my take. I’m sorry, but DBZ isn’t as bad as Dangaioh. Inuyasha, Yugioh, Mouse, the Mezzo TV series, Spiral, Gundam wing . . . NONE of these are as bad as Dangaioh.
The top 5 in my list:
1) Dragonball Z (Only the U.S. Dub; I’d prefer the original Japanese)
2) Alien 9 (Depressing at too many times)
3) Now and then, Here and there (Same as No. 2)
4) Galaxy Angel Z to X (It all just became even more stupid)
5) Lastly, Graduation/Sailor Victory (Same characters, different storylines, no sense)
There are more but that is all I’ll post for now.
inuyasha was good for about 15 eps, then jus became crap
Melancholy of Haruhi and Evangelion are greatly overrated

That anime…I sat through it…and then wanted to bash my head against the wall. Just cause I just sat through the most boring, almost no dialogue, anime ever.
On that note. Blood+ was pretty good.
‘Highlander the search for vengance’ is some where in the running for the worst.
I saw it at Scifi london as part of the anime all-nighter. My boyfriend and i got told off by the people in front of us for taking the rip out of it. After the film she was on the verge of apologising to us. It was that bad.
The anime news network review sums it up and is a fun read.

InuYasha (the DBZ for Girls). As much as I’ve tried, I absolutly don’t get it.
.hack// series – again, can’t seem to get into it
Evangelion – Just to weird to understand (believe me, I’ve tried lots of time, only to fall asleep)
Prince of Tennis – How can you put so much dramatic effect around one tennis shot, let alone each and every single one!
These shows aren’t really that bad; I’ve seen worse. Dragonball and Naruto actually had very well-written storylines, impressively done; although somewhat has a share of nasty plot holes. The art is also very good for their own times; Dragonball had unique, detailed art, and the manga is very good in terms of fluidity in storyline. Naruto, on the other hand, is also very good in terms of art; I’d prefer this over cheaply drawn stereotypical anime styles. Plus the story is very deep; if you’d look past the English dub or whatever that makes you dislike it. Seriously, people who complain just to join the crowd annoys me.
For my own opinion, I’d say I pretty much dislike Princess Princess. Overly feminine guys in drag in highschool chased by fellow school mates? Overly shiny and sparkly songs and animation? No thank you.

… when they boil down to "DADDY DOESN’T LOVE ME WAAAHHH!! WAAAHHH!!"LMAO! so that’s what it was about!
as for DBZ, Pokemon, and Naruto. I wouldn’t say they suck.
DBZ – I’ve always liked it, way before it came over. I just hated the fact that people made it seem like the best anime ever.
Pokemon – Just got redundant, I’m mean it started with just 150 pokemon, and now it’s just overkill with every series having a new Ultimate Pokemon.
Naruto – I haven’t sat down to see it, but it doesn’t really interest me, so no real opinion.
I used to be a big fan of this show, but now I despise Inuyasha. The anime has ended already, but it took AGES and it didn’t have a conclusive ending at all. They just go off into the sunset saying ‘lol hay guyz, we’ll get Naraku one day! lolz’. I nearly wanted to smash my computer screen in when I watched it. They don’t kill Naraku, they don’t get all of the shards, and Inuyasha hasn’t picked either Kikyou or Kagome. NOTHING PROGRESSED AND IT ENDED WHERE IT STARTED.
The manga isn’t going anywhere as well and Rumiko Takahashi needs to end it right now. The only difference now is that Naraku has even more DEM powers to save his ass with and he has a new hell spawn called Byakuya. >_>
Shounen-ai and yaoi animes and manga that don’t go past the genre stereotypes (Tall, dark and handsome seme, and the short, cute, kind of childish uke are prime examples.) arn’t really my cup of tea. Doesn’t mean I won’t read them, I just expect more than the cookie-cutter plot and characters.
I detest MAR with a passion as well. It seems like another generic shounen anime that we don’t really need anymore of.
Yes. She’s really pushing it. I’m not a fan as I used to be. Iwant it to just end. I just mainly read the (depends) with Naraku in it. The story is dropping to a ointless point. It stretches to much. (with a good ending of course not a Fushigi Yuugi rip off XD.
And for worst anime.
Guyver Is the most boring anime I ever watched. I changed channel to watch takeshi’s Castle later on XD.
and I Hate Love Hina I Just Couldn’t Get Into It Properly.
Prince of Tennis
Yu-Gi-Oh!
However, if I had to pick one I hate the most, I’d have to go with Inuyasha. I see NOTHING appealing about this show. The characters are annoying, the storyline sucks, and it’s incredibly boring. I despise Inuyasha. It’s freakin DBZ for girls.
Other shows I hate/just can’t get into!:
Evangelion – I tried. I really did. But I just could not see the appeal of some whiny kid yelling I MUSN’T RUN AWAY for half an hour.
Witch Hunter Robin – I loved the soundtrack to this show. The show itself? One of the most boring things I’ve ever watched. For some reason, I watched most of the series and stopped like, two episodes before the last one.
Wolf’s Rain – I don’t care what anyone says, this show sucked too. It was a pretty big bummer because I had heard it was by the same team behind Cowboy Bebop, which I love. But this was just so incredibly boring and repetive. "WE MUST FIND PARADISE" "OH FUCK HUMANS" *humans shoot guns and wolves run away* *wash, rinse, repeat*
Naruto – I’ve tried watching this a few times and, yeah, it’s not that bad. I just can’t seem to get all that into it though.
Yu-Gi-Oh! – The only Yu-Gi-Oh! I like is the Abridged Series. That thing is hilarious.
There are others, I’m sure. Just can’t think of them right now.
DBZ has cool characters but a horrible storyline. The damn thing can easily be summarized in 50 episodes or less. ^_^
It’s not anime, and of course you wouldn’t like it. You’re a Final Fantasy fancunt who clearly liked that Advent Children trash. No one with half a brain will take you seriously anyway.I love you
Plus they get rid of the whole lesbian thing between KOS-MOS and Shion. Which, again, was the whole point.
Wow. I was kinda expecting a slightly larger shitstorm than one non-shitstorm-y post. Well, I guess I can just say it outloud- I just don’t like Giant Robot Animes full of Christian symbolism and inner meaning…
… when they boil down to "DADDY DOESN’T LOVE ME WAAAHHH!! WAAAHHH!!"
Hahah, so true. If it wasn’t for the fact that I love any kind of gigantic robt I would agree woth you.
The worst animes, in my opinion, are "A Papa to Kiss in the Dark" and, if I may say so as I get away running, Grenadiers.
I felt as if Grenadiers was just a foolish anime. As for APtKitD, it had scary incestuous overtones. However, to each their own (heck, I am gay, but even so there are levels of prudence).
I would also like to state that GitS is good, especially for us PoliSci majors. Hahah
It’s a tough call. but I guess I know what I don’t like…
Naruto it is, I don’t really get the story so I have to ask some question to those who get it…
oh yeah, and sailor moon. ugg.
you are 100% correct, sailor moon is not a good anime

It’s madly disappointing…
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE the original OLDER Powerpuff Girls series in Cartoon Network (even if it isn’t anime…), and so I thought the anime version would be grand! but no… i HATE how they portrayed mojo jojo…
I never knew Powerpuff Girls has its anime version.
Man, my knowledge sucks.
it sounded awful.
i hated the original powerpuff girls show, although I AM a boy, so I guess I can see why I hated it.
[[No offence to the fans of the show]]
I said no offence… sorry jeeze.
princess looks badass though. and i do adore the char designs. but the original story is important to me and the whole "regular girl now superhero" is like the most played out cliche in the history of all anime that i couldnt’ stand it. >.<
also. the original Him is prolly more evil looking and more badass than even the anime version! O_o
i wanna hear the voices of all the villians to see if they went totally diff or tried to match them up. Him is fking awesome. i love how he goes from soft voice to demonic voice with the echo on the soft voice. lol.

I never know that Hentai would have any of their worse.
I guess they are basically the same… "Inning" and "Outing" and that’s all, just a little bit variation to the story.

Sarcasm, right? It has to be.
Shin chan is the best thing ever gtfo
eureka seven’s last two episode is kinda odd, but the rest is solid enough. and ragnarok is just average, but it could be worst(i have little expectation when i watch it).
the worst anime? its gotta be gundam seed destiny. sure the first five episode is good, but then the main character got left out….(i dont see how any show can possibly failed this)
Hell no, I love MD Geist
lol
Naruto saves itself when they pick a new leader(and a funny one at that.) Naruto really gets better in the ‘filler episodes’ when they focus on the various other characters. Yes, Hinata does get a chance to shine.
Season 10-Shippudden(sp?) is when everything changes, especially the characters. They are older and more mature(except Naruto of course). . .oh and before I forget. . .Kakashi’s weakness in battle is finally revealed!
My pick for current crappy anime- Desert Punk. I don’t know if its the bad English voice acting or the unneeded and unwelcome use of swearing.(I get enough of it in real life and don’t want it in the shows I watch)
QUOTE.
I hated that Anime.
–
Regardless if you ever see this post, or not, I feel prompted to say this.
If you’re referring to the 1960’s version, then you must give the show the benefit of the doubt, seeing as the content for cartoons then was drastically different compared to now.
Also, being the first Anime that’s responsible for popularizing Anime worldwide as we know of today, of course there’s going to be hurdles to overcome, as it is for just about anything debuting for the first time.
MAN I KNOW THE NEW DUB SUCKS WE SHOULD BAN IT FROM AMERICAN!

because a talking monkey would be pretty cool
Fuck off and die like the worthless animal you are. Seriously, if you make one more mini-mod post in this section, I will delete every post you’ve ever made in here and any you make from now on. Bannage will likely follow.
Anyways, typically Naruto for its extensive flashbacks in the middle of action scenes. Sucks even more if you are watching the cut version in Germany where conversations don’t make sense
Original: "HOW COULD YOU HAVE KILLED! I’M DYING AHHH" whatever
Cut: "I am beaten, ah! *instant next scene, bad guy laying on floor with no wounds or anything*"
-_-
MD GEIST had action and cool music. Who cares about plot ๐
If there is one thing I want, it’s that damn groovy MD GEIST OST ffs!
Anyways, it shows the best examples in Laws of Physics in Anime ๐
Well everyone is entitled to their own opinions, however the Manga of Naruto has just got very very exciting. =P
Hmm, I would say the worst anime ever is… THE ADVENTURES OF MINI GODESS! That does my head in! Tis very poor and annoying. Though Shin Chan was kind of the same, just generally funny and not attemping to be funny.
Seriously they’re all retarded
While there really are worse, what makes me hate DBZ is that they took a great show (Dragonball) and made it into this braindead mash of the exact same plot being repeated over and over.

I know DBZ is really, really stupid, but I still can’t hate it. It’s what got me into anime, and the Frieza Saga is awesome, despite how incredibly slow-paced it is (it takes something like five episodes for Goku to make ONE attack), but it’s still really fun.
And The World’s Strongest was pretty damn cool, IMO.
Blood+, simply because it doesn’t even have anything to do with the movie. It’s just a filler. Not anything special to me. Saya is a weak character for more than half the series and she’s not like she was in the movie.
Diva just…I like her. Not so much as I would like to. In all of the suckiness of the anime, Diva is my favorite character. Everyone else dies or disappears mysteriously.
Also, Riku is…ew.
A disgrace to all the other Riku characters out there.
The first few seasons of Pokemon was good…until character development stopped and it became a race to see how many new pokemon they can make up.
Yu Gi Oh (though I personally find it hilarious to watch)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Psycho Diver
A few quick comments, though:
First off, Yugioh’s season 0 or whatever you want to call it, the one that never got dubbed, is actually kinda interesting. (And so much more violent.)
And personally, I’m gonna say the first, and kinda second, season of pokemon is pretty decent, along with the first three movies (Well, the ending of the first one really annoyed me, but the first is actually kind of good. The 8th movie is actually pretty good, suprisingly. Otherwise, all the rest is garbage. (Well, fourth movie, I’ve seen argued, but it is, oddly, a Mononoke knock off)).
Oh, and I have to ask to the guy who was downing on Ouran way back, I’m hoping you just aren’t fond of Shojo in general, because Ouran only falls behind FLCL, in my personal opinion. I hope that judgement was at least made after giving it a shot.
Japanese Version:
Gaara: Ahhh! Ahhh! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

It has other kinds of messages inside it you know. Just watch the entire of it, if you haven’t already.
Yeah, watch it. Then tell me :-\
Have to say, while I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s amongst the worst out there, for one I can appreciate why it is you might think that.
Can’t say I was overly impressed with that one either. I certainly didn’t find it to be anywhere near as good as some make it out to be, despite having re-watched it a few times to see if somehow there was something important about it I overlooked or missed.
But I respect opinions xD
The videogame of DBZ is quite cool thought… :p
EDIT: TO Eire: NGE was an amazing anime, and you have no right to trash it, just because you couldnt ‘get it’. Something isn’t good because it’s in-your-face, "Kawaii", or dramatic. It’s good because its interesting, the characters are fully developed, and theres a sense of realism throughout. (These rules are only broken by Comedies, such as Excel Saga)

I’ve liked pretty much every anime I’ve seen (dubbed or subbed).
My only beef is with Deathnote. I just never got interested in it because it seemed kind of lame.

And vice-versa apparently. What’s to hate about death note? It’s like the opposite of every possible anime/manga cliche.
Main character is actually (arguably) evil, witty, manipulative and clever as opposed to the common determined, stubborn dumbass character who has this "power within" and needs a bunch of friends to help him figure out what the hell he’s doing. The whole themes are about the questionable morals in our world and the whole idea of death note just screams originality. Each of his schemes is clever in it’s own way and keeps showing his amazing intuitive thinking.
And as the cherry on top, people actually die in the story as opposed to being "defeated" and manage to live on by some arbitrary designation.
And vice-versa apparently. What’s to hate about death note? It’s like the opposite of every possible anime/manga cliche.
Main character is actually (arguably) evil, witty, manipulative and clever as opposed to the common determined, stubborn dumbass character who has this "power within" and needs a bunch of friends to help him figure out what the hell he’s doing.

Maybe he never watched past the first episode? I didn’t see it as anything interesting when I read the first chapter… It really doesn’t get moving until L gets introduced…
Worst anime-NGE(I know it wan/t clever to post it, but I really can’t understand quasi-christan stuff)
The christian symbolism holds no meaning.
It was used because the creator thought it looked cool and exotic.
It’s not ur typical slasher & blood & gore type of anime we all luv.
I can’t stand Digimon,any Card capture game type anime & all the wannabe’s.
One piece gets on my nerves every now & then.
man wikipedia is like four clicks and some typing away. =/
Well, that’s Veronica Taylor for you. However, she DID do a semi-decent job in voice-acting for PS1’s Valkyrie Profile.
Yeah I have to agree it’s did star off with a bang & then kinda slowed down.
I’m still a fan. ๐
Move on.
Naruto
Inuyasha
DBZ
DBGT
Pokemon
Digimon
Vampire Wars
Tsubasa is the fucking greatest you dumb shit!
You probably don’t get it cause you didn’t read XXX Holic with it at the same time!
And i bet you are unfamiliar with CLAMP!
If you were you would think differently!
The worst is Pokemon!
So go to hell Crotum!
That was my bad…
Bobobobobo!
Naruto annoys me.
Move on.
I think thats the mark of a great show, that they can string u along and still get viewers who want to know what happens next.
Frustrating yes, but i wouldn’t put it in the worst category.
Zaion-Haven’t seen it? Good.
Final Fantasy Unlimited-Til next time…bullshit.
X-The Movie-Fell asleep a million times…boring.
Tenchi in Tokyo-Horrible garbage.
Sakura Wars-Was I the only one wanting more action? I mean..those steambots most likely rusted from under use.
Mouse-Master? Sucked..just because of its hentai undertone.
Infinite Ryvius-What was this about?
Memories-BOOORIIINGGG
Millennium Actress-BOORRRIINNG..pretty bad when the highlight is supposedly its soundtrack.
Utena Movie-Put dvd in and saw it was different from series..took it out.
Inuyasha
Ranma 1/2
I just can’t stand them…
Inuyasha was so bad it’s good, but its fangirls write crap like "INUYASHA IS T3H BEST ANIME EVA!!!11!!" or… think of any stereotypical crap an Inuyasha fangirl would write.

Or maybe they would name their nick after a specific anime that went downhill into crap once it reached the second act of the series.
Actually, I watch the Naruto anime and read the Naruto manga, but I’m NOT a fan of Naruto.
Hey, at least you picked a better character to use a nick IMO.
peace maker
starship troopers
and all those love stories anime
i think that was the point. :p
Then you got the point, good sir. Of course, if you were "intellectual" enough you would have realized that you got the point, but I digress.
Now then…the worst anime? Well, I make a point of steering clear of bad anime, by letting anything filter through various forums, friends, and so on. The good stuff gets watched/ read. The bad stuff does not get looked at.
But the 2 worst that I’ve seen would have to be G Gundam (I do not accept it as a Gundam series) and Saikano. Now, I did read the entirety of the Saikano manga, and that was pretty good, if not extremely abstract, bizarre and depressing. But the setup still sucks. In the anime its worse. Shuji keeps neglecting and abusing Chise, and for some reason Chise is this huge killer machine thing that is never explained or rationalized, and Japan is caught in some ambiguous war fighting the French among other nations, evidently.
Some stories pull off leaving out huge details, adding an air of mysticism and mystery to the mix. Some of them, like Saikano just leave you going "WHAT IS GOING ON?" Too many questions are left unanswered, and I suspect this is due to lazy creativity. The guy wrote it when he was 15, and who knows if he ever properly developed it?
Anyway….yeah G Gundam and Saikano.
NICE! I thought I was the only one who saw this. I myself was reading the Manga, and it started off well enough, but then the cat and mouse game between Eye and the main character became boring and repetitive. I gave up on the Manga, and haven’t even watched the Anime.
AKIRA
I’ve always heard how great this anime is so that I watched it when I had the opportunity. It was just blood, guts, and really boring.
What was the plot if Akira even about?
INUYASHA
While I LOVE Inuyasha, the anime just has too many filler episodes. Every time I watch my DVD’s, I want them to hurry up with the main story already.
DRAGON BALL/DBZ/GT
It has the same problem as Inuyasha. I like DB, but goodness, please move on with the plot.
And STOP blowing up the Earth (and various other planets) and wishing it back. Once was a powerful statement, twice was cool, but the third time tells me that you all ran out of ideas.
LOVELESS
Boring. Beautiful art. Breath taking art. But boring.
LOVE HINA
The manga is better to me than the anime.
TRINITY BLOOD
It sounds good, but I watched the first three episodes and I find it boring.
GHOST IN THE SHELL
Pointless violence and boring. The manga is better, but I’m not a yuri fan, so…
PETSHOP OF HORROR’S
I’ve very sad to put this on my list, but when compared to the books, the anime just doesn’t cut it. It only fallows four of the manga’s original chapters and only focuses on the side characters that have purchased pets rather than Leon and Count D. If the anime had been a blend of the horror, mystery, and comedy that the story was (rather than just horror and done as full length episodes rather than the various one minute snippets that they did) then it would have been a great anime.
DEATH NOTE
Again, I like this series, but the whole ‘he’s thinking what I’m thinking, so I got to do something else…but he’ll be expecting me to do that, so I have to stick with the plan…or is that just what he wants me to do? Then I should do something else…’ and so on made me stop watching the anime. I felt like my brain was going to explode.
Light, what ever you do…IT’S GOING TO MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE F-ING KIRA! SO JUST DO SOMETHING!!
Gawd.
CLAYMORE
An anime with an awesome idea and an excellent beginning that drifted away from plot into a common hack and slash of monsters. -__-
Not to mention that the only main male side character was completely helpless. Was this because the main character is a strong female? I dunno, but you think a character like him would get some damn character growth.
NARUTO
Boring.
BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE
The plot (whatever it was) was lost and it was the most boring vampire story ever. Blood+ is a good series though.
DIGIMON (past Tamers)
I really liked S1 and though it isn’t true to the reality set up in S1, I like S2 too (Gatomon and Myotismon <3). S3 was good, but it didn’t fall back on the reality that had been established, so I had a hard time accepting that. Past S3, I have watched very little and do not like.
POKEMON (past, I don’t know, a few seasons)
When they were actually fallowing a plot (the early episodes of Pok???mon), the series was good. But, as a few have said, they just turned it into a milking industry.
POKEMON: THE FIRST MOVIE (Dubbed)
This movie was great…until the end. All the ‘brotherly love’ crap. -__-
MEW MEW POWER
No. Shoot it. Kill it. It is NOT Tokyo Mew Mew. It sucks.
Make it DIE.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION
Boring. What’s the plot? What’s the point? We need a better explanation. And yes, I did watch the majority of it before I got really bored and went off to play Silent Hill 2 and other fun things.
All the comedy AMV’s for it are great though.
YUGIOH CLONES/DUBBED
They all need to die in my eyes. If it’s not Yugi playing Wizards and Magic against an enemy, then it’s just a copy that’s trying to cash in with generic crap.
The Heart of the Card’s thing wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t drive it down the viewer’s throat. And if, you know, YuGiOh was a show for children and not high schoolers.
I’ll probably think of more later.
let’s see
EXCEL SAGA:
the one series that I just couldn’t keep watching it.
it feels like some experimental thing that tries to blow your brain and rly make you nuts, anyone that could ever marathon this series is or absolutely crazy or deserves fricking loads of respect for being so strong willed
MOUSE:
got not much to say about it, it just sucks. it’s kinda unpleasant ecchi
the genre is described as adventure, comedy & ecchi, but the first 2 are rather invisible and as I said the ecchi wasn’t that pleasant
MEDABOTS/BEYBLADE/DIGIMON:
put these 3 together since they’re all about bad for the same reason.
they’re attempts for mass young public and kinda trying to follow pok???mon,
but pok???mon had more to offer than this(kinda gives you and idea doesn’t it?)
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION:
it’s not that bad, but far from as good as it’s popularity would make it seem.
I just couldn’t stand watching the original ending, never totally finished that
and the other ending didn’t make that much sense either.
the series before its ending was better, but not that special if you ask me

Do you like any anime @ all?
You named so many it seems like you’re not even a fan of anime.
I can’t rly have an honest opinion about GitS, since I’ve only watched the first episode, but I must say I wasn’t that fond of it either
but he has a weird taste and only simple logic imo, mostly it’s just him saying it’s boring or the manga was better. and like wth, digimon was good while death note wasn’t, come on, think it was indeed your brain about to explode cause it couldn’t take some intelligence.
it’s normal for people not to like evrything, but it’s like he’s picking out all the different types he could
Poster A: "(insert title here) is terrible."
Poster B: "Shut up fag, (insert title here) is great! (insert any other title here) sucks balls and I hate you."
Repeat for several pages.
How close am I to the real thing?
Absolute nonsense!!!
Nice one. I’d have to say Bubblegum Crisis 2040. I loved the original, but this was just painful.
Poster A: "(insert title here) is terrible."
Poster B: "Shut up fag, (insert title here) is great! (insert any other title here) sucks balls and I hate you."
Repeat for several pages.
How close am I to the real thing?
Why don’t you take the time & find out for yourself.
also Ghost in the Shell is getting beat up way too much. It doesn’t even come close to being on the level of Pokemon, Naruto, and other crappy Anime.
Explain. How the hell does a really lazy, boring, pretentious fanservice anime end up being good? I’ve seen the whole series to know that it does not live up to the hype and reputation people seem to give it. So, if you will, explain to me what is good about it.
I’ll make it simple.
The tragic story.
That’s what’s good about it in my opinion.
Also the last time I checked, graphic violence wasn’t considered fanservice.
Exactly what I was thinking, but didn’t put into words!

*facepalm*
I OBVIOUSLY WASN’T REFERRING TO THE VIOLENCE! Or, did you miss the obvious titflashing, and naked chicks? Also, the "story" is what made it pretentious, it felt like a rehashed version of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Your post are silly. The Anime is nothing like Eva, also Nudity in Anime is quite common. Japanese people don’t see it as taboo as a lot of god fearing Americans. Seriously, if the "fanservice" bothers you so, stick to Looney Tunes.
but a bad anime global i would say one peace, an elastic boy that wants to be a pirate…..it’s going nowhere.
Maburaho : cheesy situations and harem-show with an irritating heroin >.<
Eiken : fanservice filled serie and really exagerated boobs (it’s inhuman ๐ )
EDIT: I think you mean heroine. Or hero. Both were annoying in Maburaho, but mostly the hero, if you ask me.
DOUBLE EDIT: Forget it, they were all annoying.
Ugh… are you really this clueless? I said this before: Pretentious bullshit story. THAT’S HOW IT’S LIKE EVA! THAT’S THE ONLY REASON IT IS LIKE EVA!Also, it is fanservice you twit, any anime or manga that shows nudity but is not a hentai is fucking fanservice. Or Ecchi as it’s also known as. And Elfen Lied is considered an Ecchi. Ergo, I am right, and you are wrong.
I partly agree with the nudity, as there are many scenes where nudity is simply not needed.
But, nudity does have a connection with the story. A diclonious can use any object in their surrounding as a weapon. This is the reason why they are locked in rooms completely nude, which is, for me, a fair reason for most of the nudity expressed in the series.
I think your post are quite funny. Never have I encountered a so-called Anime fan who gets very offended at seeing a naked Anime character, and completely dismisses a show because of it. Oh, and any Anime that shows a naked scene isn’t considered Fanservice or Ecchi. That only applies to shows that have a foundation in it.
Ranma 1/2 series isn’t fanservice. However the second movie "Nihao my Concubine" is considered fanservice, because of how the female characters including female Ranma is drawn.
Love Hina, Najica Blitz Tactics, Blue Seed second OVA, Desert Punk, Aika, Eiken, and others also fit.
Eva is not considered fanservice. Neither is Tenchi Muyo, Ghost in the Shell, Inyuasha, Kenshin, an many others that might include a Nude scene or two. Shows that use nudity to make a point doesn’t qualify.
Just because a Anime shows a nudity scene doesn’t make the entire movie or series fanservice.
Naruto/Inuyasha/Mar/Hitman Reborn/generic shounen anime
It’s just boring. I just don’t know what these authors are thinking. Don’t they see that everybody else is doing it, the typical characters and dragging story? Don’t they want to make something different from others? Don’t they want to make something that stands out? I just don’t get what these people are thinking.
Prince of Tennis
It’s like Dragonball Tennis version. They could make WWIII with tennis. And it’s been going on for way too fucking long. And all those kids who throw fireballs or nuclear bombs in a single tennis shot are middle school kids. This should have been an SF series with half the length.
Elfen Lied
Really annoying storyline and characters in general. Actually, the characters seemed to have some sort of chance at the beginning, but no. Unnecessary and cliched violence (I hate any lolis who giggle at the sight of blood and gore, just way too fucking annoying, and no there’s nothing psychological trauma related to this, just pure annoyance) Only thing good about this tragedy is probably the soundtrack.
Evangelion
I don’t see any appeal in character who sulks for the entire series because his father didn’t love him and because he realizes that he’s a complete loser. I don’t see any appeal in an autistic albino girl either, but Rei’s hot so I guess it has its attractions. But it’s just too overrated. There’s nothing philosophical about a kid in puberty realizing that his father doesn’t love him because he’s a loser. Dostoevsky made a beautiful philosophy out of that, not Evangelion.
Digimon/Pokemon/Yu-gi-oh
I thought making that Pokemon anime would result in economic loss for Satoshi Tajiri because no one would watch it anymore.
Oh yeah, and any anime/manga that uses English/German/French/Italian/Russian/foreign langauge other than Japanese because it sounds cool and ignores grammar should die.
Ranma 1/2 series isn’t fanservice. However the second movie "Nihao my Concubine" is considered fanservice, because of how the female characters including female Ranma is drawn.

Alright enough of this absurd bullshit, Tenchi is a Harem show for godsakes. Also, I said this before. You are missing the fucking point completely. I HAVE SEEN EVERY LAST SHITTY EPISODE OF ELFEN SHIT. I am not offended by the obvious fanservice, yes, it is fanservice, stop diverging from the fucking topic. I only compare EVA with Elfen Lied because OF THE EXTREMELY PRETENTIOUS, OVER THE TOP MELODRAMA STORY! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK FUCKING SKULL.
You’re just being a troll (or an idiot) and dragging into unrelated examples now, yes we are talking about fanservice, but it is mostly about Elfen Lied. Stop derailing from the point, and lets talk about Elfen Lied. Now tell me. WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS GOOD! DON’T BE VAGUE TOO ASSHOLE! Also, explain how the nudity is inherent to the plot. EXPLAIN THE PART WHERE KOUTA IS TRYING TO DRESS LUCY/NYUU UP! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THAT BESIDES FILLER!
Now, tell me once more. How is this anime good?
Evangelion
I don’t see any appeal in character who sulks for the entire series because his father didn’t love him and because he realizes that he’s a complete loser. I don’t see any appeal in an autistic albino girl either, but Rei’s hot so I guess it has its attractions. But it’s just too overrated. There’s nothing philosophical about a kid in puberty realizing that his father doesn’t love him because he’s a loser. Dostoevsky made a beautiful philosophy out of that, not Evangelion.
Now this isn’t a debate on whether Evangelion is a good anime or not, because I feel that that part is completely up to you. And to say you cant see the philosophical reference is just astounding
1)Evangelion comes from the root Evangelic (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=evangelic). So off the bat you know you are talking Christianity.
2) The name of the Antagonists are "Angels". The fact that Angels are trying to destroy them and they are killing Angels is a obvious, yet pointless, philosophical reference.
3)The fact that the first "Angel" was name "Adam"
4)The fact that they were using "Eves" cells to kill Adam. Which basically means that eve is responsible for Adams death.
There are more but I haven’t watched the show in a while.
How the hell does a really lazy, boring, pretentious fanservice anime end up being good?
did you miss the obvious titflashing, and nakedchicks?
I only compare EVA with Elfen Lied because OF THE EXTREMELY PRETENTIOUS, OVER THE TOP MELODRAMA STORY! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK FUCKING SKULL.
You call it pretentious, I call it tragic. I’m sure I made that point clear.

Already explained myself about how nudity is viewed in Japan and why I like the story.
I’ll stop being a troll now. A word of advice. Stick to "Ed, Edd, and Eddy" or the "Powerpuff Girls". You’re obviously not ready for Anime.

Choke on a cock. I don’t care about how nudity is viewed in Japan, I’ve watched plenty of better anime than Elfen Lied, and alot of it that has shown nudity. Just not as much as Elfen Lied. Your definition of tragedy is flawed. I define Kaiji tragic because of the amount of grief the main character goes throughto find success, but also deal with a remarkable amount of turmoil along the way. NANA is tragic for the relationships the characters experience. Souten no Ken, and Hokuto no Ken are equally tragic because they both involve revenge. What you’ve failed to do is describe to me, how YOU find Elfen Lied’s story line tragic. You’re diverging from the point by ignoring my questions, and then insulting my knowledge in anime. Which is should not have done, because you’re only encouraging wrath and carnage. So, stop it. Answer my question.
Fine. Here’s the reason why I like Elfen Lied. I personally think the story is a sad one. A girl is turned into a murderous military weapon. She manages to break free, but has the mind of a child. She needs to be constantly taken care of. (which explains the one nudity scene you mentioned) At the same time, the main male character slowly uncovers his past and discovers that him and the girl had a past friendship that ended tragically. I won’t go into EVA, because that’s really pointless. I don’t think the drama was over done, nor do I think the nudity too much. Like GIS, once a show becomes hugely popular, people are quick to call it overrated. In my opinion excellent shows like EVA, EL, and GIS are not overrated or pretentious. There you have it.
Naruto – I’m not saying its all bad but it does get annoying to hear it at school constantly. It’s uber instanity!
——-
Sorry if I offened people.
Well, might aswell end this. Firstly, if you’re going to defend something, go into detail. That’s clearly what you’re not doing when you say: "I don’t think the drama was over done…" Secondly, you say that; in your opinion, you don’t find "excellent" shows like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Elfen Lied, and Ghost in the Shell overrated, or pretentious… do you NEED a dictionary? Actually, I’ll give you the defintions myself.
1. Overrated: To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.
2. Pretentious: Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
Which is why your opinion is flawed. The majority of people think that EL, EVA, and GitS are overrated and pretentious, is likely, because they are overrated or pretentious. They know what the fuck they’re talking about, and you clearly don’t. EVA not overrated or pretentious? COME THE FUCK ON! You know how many people like that show despite it’s terrible ending? ALOT! Plus, it’s themes deal with religion, insecurity, love, and death…. combine all those together and you got a pretentious fuckload on your hands. Now, since were talking about Elfen Lied i’ll day this, it is pretentious and overrated. Plus,there is still, no denying from any party (even from supporters) that Elfen Lied is loaded with gratuitous nudity.
Now that you know, I see no reason to continue. Kindly accept these conditions. That Elfen Lied is overrated, and pretentious regardless of your opinion, and that it is filled with gratuitous nudity. I will have no more bullshit from you trying to defend an anime you like, get over it. People hate it, and probably plently of other anime you like. It doesn’t matter, because, apparently, the majority still likes it. As long as you’re educated about it further a moral victory will suffice.

Man get over yourself. You and maybe some other people think it’s an overrated and pretentious Anime. So what?
Also, if you find victory in whining about an Anime, then that’s a very hollow victory.
You don’t like it, I do. The End.
after 16 pages i found that all sort of anime is bad then what is the worst???

quoted for hilarious irony.
You know, as much as i truly hate to get into it, explain the irony in my post. I see nothing ironic in my post, nor do i see anything flawwed, or contradictory. So, if you wil good sir, explain yourself.
One Piece- after being raped in the ass with the infamous 4Kids dub, and not having the show or channel to watch it on when i moved to my apartment for college… Honestly, YOU CAN SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS. It’s the same feelings expressed here, just as much as Naruto, IF NOT MORE.
Inyuyasha- It’s not bad- ass kicking fights make this a sure enough hit… Maybe. But you can easily fall out of it thanks to he shitty love story plots and the fact that, like Naruto, the story just builds up and crashes WAY TOO FAST, thanks to the fights that occur constantly.
In fact, this is what Iraq would be like with ancient demons and ninjas and samurai running around- honorable, yes (NO GUNS TO MAKE IT EASY), BUT REPETITIVE.
Sad I say this. The fights are the only thing that keep me going. They’re fast, simple, and precise in their purpose and nature, intended by the characters.
Major battle last 3 eps at the highest- but then it’s just back to the pointless building up toward a climax and shitty love tales for 200+ episodes- IT’S BORING!!! I’d rather watch Hannah Montana then put myself through such meaninglessness (AND I HATE DISNEY FOR MAKING THAT BITCH AND ANYONE LIKE HER A STAR CHILD, TO GO OFF SUBJECT ABOUT IT…)
I mean, the concept of a crime-busting sqaud in a new world order future earth at war with itself and its premise sounds cool- in practice theory. In execution, it cna be a huge mess if not done properly.
This show did this right- BUT CAN YOU HANDLE NOT HAVING A CLUE OF WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING HERE??? You’d have to be a fantard to enjoy this in full… I could say more, but I feel like I’m living in the Matrix trying to find a job as a chef and paying high-ass gas prices myself. ANARCHY IN THE U.S.!!!
Next…
Atomic Betty-I know. This isn’t even anime, but I feel it was inspired by it. I also feel i gotta say something about this. Why?? TOO MUCH FANSERVICE. Accompany that with the fact that the whole teen angst/family life and school problems thing doesen’t mix with alien space battles and defending the universe from the forces or evil, AND YOU’LL SEE WHAT I MEAN.
My real beef with this piece of shit show- 2.
1. It got Duck Dodgers on Cartoon Network cancelled when it premiered. Duck Dodgers may have been dumb, but it was a good kind of dumb- as in HILARIOUS. The kind of thing you should want in a good anime, if not American cartoon. Accompany that with action packed sequences that fit just fine and a healthy character cast and storylines to be reckoned with, and BAM- GOOD SHOW, GOOD TIMES.
You don’t get any of that with Atomic Betty. All you et from this is an assinine school and family life story you care less about, and a secret life that just doesen’t work for the main character, due to its poor execution, crappy storylines, plots, and action sequences that only encourage that this piece was mde for fan-service, A.K.A. Hentai!!!
Spongebob Squarepants and My Gym Partner’s A monkey are more tolerable and competent than this piece of shit excuse for anime-inspired bullshit ever will be…
As overrated ans stupid as one show is (Spongebob Squarepants), and as overly retarded and depressing the other (My Gym Partner’s A monkey ), I’d rather be trapped in a room, screaming or laughing at those piles of crap, than jacking off to 2 teenage Cancdian callgirls, dancing their asses off in space to appease some gay cat-like vampire thing and his gay monkey pal who have dirty sex together, and probabl invite their alien hookers to do the same!!!
I could also go on t othe Hentai craze this shitty show causes, especially with Betty, her mom, and her rival, but I’m going to avoid at the risk of losing my mind and my 3 daily meals, as a result of vomiting in disgust and out of anger…
Beisdes, Isn’t it sad that I’m actually talking about a show that isn’t anime at all ON A FORUM FOR DISCUSSING ANIME PEOPLE HATE ONLY??? Who cares???
Well, I hope someone does… They shouldn’t make shows like this, especially cartoons, ANIME, AMERICAN, MOVIE, OR OTHERWISE!!!
I dont like pokemon or Fruits Basket.
My friend tried to make me watch Fruits Basket, and it bored me to tears.
Oh and i used to like Naruto, but then it just… died. I completely lost interest.
It had a good storyline, it promised a lot, but after that it was monotony and more monotony, more even than Dragon Ball Z and Pok???mon.
Other that I don’t like very much are Naruto, Digimon, and Prince of Tennis.
Sorry about my bad english ^^U
See yah!! ๐

Wait, wait… Atomic Betty had fanservice?! Granted, I never watched the thing, but… it’s a cartoon with a little girl in simple cartoon form, that seems quite clearly to be made for children. Please tell me you’re just misinterpreting fanservice…
The Gundam franchise. Boring and annoying as hell to watch. Consistently recycling storylines/characters/robots and churning mediocre series one after another. I’ll admit that the only series I liked from them were War in the Pocket and 8th MS team. However, the endings for those series were a HUGE letdown.
Nearly all the anime that’s currently being aired on TV (except Macross Plus that’s currently aired on the Scifi channel).
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan – who thought angels with explosive diarrhea would be funny? Yet this has a cult following.
Mutant Turtles the Legend of Super Human – just go look for yourself – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAQohS0On4&feature=related
I’m still laughing from "Super Mutation!". It reminds me so much of Sailor Moon ๐
I was going to say InuYasha, but I personally don’t think it’s that terrible, I think some of it is okay. It’s just its mainstream fanbase doesn’t help.
As far as Pokemon goes, well I originally liked it, but then it became a slap in the face when it was realized that becoming a Pokemon Master doesn’t seem to involve catching all the Pokemon anymore. Well in the anime that is. I mean can we actually see anyone catching Mew or Mewtwo?

END yourself, quickly, PLEASE.
Also, I hate all the kiddie shows. Pokemon, Digimon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Hamtaro (Does that count…?), etc.
Um…Ouran Host Club!!!!!! Kaledo Star (or however it’s spelled), Azumanga Daioh, Coyote Ragtime Show (After episode 1, it does downhill….), I can’t think of more…
THANK YOU!!!! This series I spent a day watching because my college’s anime club played it all day! I was excited and I was let down!!! The last two episodes require massive amounts of weed to even understand!!!!!!
When I watched the first two episodes of Cowboy Bebop (back when I was a member of an anime club in high school), I, too, disliked it and felt that it was boring. But a few years later, I watched it again and I thought it was one of the greatest animes of all time.
First impressions (sometimes second or third) of anime (and real life stuff) aren’t usually accurate…..for me at least. Maybe you’ll like it (or not), if you watch it again. =)
However, this doesn’t apply to the MS Gundam franchise. I hate it with a passion and I hope it dies in a fire! >:O :notgood:
And then there’s Naruto. Naruto, and all of its fans, make me rage. Rage like there’s no tomorrow. Why this has become so popular I will never know.
Yugi-Oh (or Yu-Gi-Oh? I can’t remember the spelling)- Tons of corny over used "believe in yourself" lines. Card game was somewhat fun though.
Naruto- I can’t really stand it. Ironically, I prefer the American version over the Japanese version for some odd reason.
the charries sux,the muisc sux,and the sotryline sux
Spelling sux! Sorry, just had to be said, but seriously, if you’re going to bash something, at least put a little more effort into it.
There was absolutely no Character Development whatsoever, the storyline was contrived and repetitive, ad nauseum.
Whereas its predecessor ZOIDS: CHAOTIC CENTURY was a marvelous series back in its day, as it dealt with so many pivotal issues which were worked in around the typical struggle between the forces of good and evil for control, not only that the Characters themselves had so much depth comparatively.
Anyone who says Dragon Ball Z for this topic needs to understand, that the reason the power-ups and fights went for a dramatically long time is because it was in production as the same time as the manga, so in order to continue with the story they would have to stretch it out (add filler), until there was more main story to add.
From what I can understand based on articles and news reports that I have read, the entire Garlic Jr. Saga was put in as filler because Akira Toriyama had not completed the Trunks & Androids story arcs in the manga.
Shit is shit, regardless of the reason for it being shit. You fail for being a shit excuse for an apologist for a shit show.
I can’t really have an honest opinion about GitS, since I’ve only watched the first episode, but I must say I wasn’t that fond of it either
but he has a weird taste and only simple logic imo, mostly it’s just him saying it’s boring or the manga was better. and like with, Digimon was good while death note wasn’t, come on, think it was indeed your brain about to explode cause it couldn’t take some intelligence.
it’s normal for people not to like everything, but it’s like he’s picking out all the different types he could
I have weird taste? XD And sorry, but I’m a girl. I know it’s freakin’ hard to tell on the internet, but I’m nitpicky.
Simple logic? I was trying to keep it to the point. I didn’t say Death Note was bad, I like DN, but the whole thing made my head hurt as they bounced back and forth with the mind games. I was also recalling all the anime I have seen, or have been made to watch, which is a variety of anime. This is also a thread for what anime’s we consider the worst, and I have taken the time to actually state why I do not like these series or why I do not like parts of a series.
And to not cause a flame war, I’ll ignore your ignorant statement at the end there and even correct your spelling errors and move on with the rest of what I wanted to say.
And yes, to the person who asked, I do like anime. A lot of anime as a mater of fact. Hellsing, Inuyasha, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Digimon, Pokemon, YuGiOh, Tenshi Muyo, Howl’s Moving Castle, Millennium Actresses, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, Angel Sanctuary, Perfect Blue (also made my head hurt. Take aspirin when you watch it), Bubble Gum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Descendants of Darkness, Serial Experiments Lain, Boogie Pop Phantom, That one movie about three homeless people taking care of a baby, Read Or Die, Spiral, Case Closed, Vandread, Blood+, Ronin Warriors, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Fake, Silent Mobius, Voltron and a few more.
the guy who came here did one post on what he didnt like and left, he must just like naruto cos he didnt say anything about that lol
If you mean me, it was basicly because I forgot about this forum. XD Woops!
I can’t comment on Naruto because I haven’t watched any of it but, like, one and a half episodes?
Any more questions from anyone else?
Learn a broader vocabulary than the word SHIT & I might consider your perspective.
Until then try and provide constructive criticism.
Here’s a little tip for you, Chuckles. Nobody uses a single word, especially one like shit, that many times in a single sentence unless it’s born of sarcasm.
That’s how I remember it, anyhow.
Every episode was like that:
Yuki: Ooooh, Zero!
Zero: Ooooh, Yuki!
-.-
I just can’t stand it. xD"
Every episode was like that:

I’m a fan of the manga, but I certainly see where you’re coming from in that they kinda ruined the anime. They added useless foreshadowing and then rushed forward at all the wrong parts, completely destroying the flow of the series…

Sorry for the confusion, sometimes I take things to heart to quickly.
That has been a failing of mine my whole life.
I suppose I should’ve read the manga, too. But I thought it would be the same to watch the anime. I heard many times that the manga is better. Perhaps I’ll read it someday. ^^
To Everyone says they hate: DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, etc.
I’m sure that you weren’t saying that 10 years ago. These series all had probably at one point made an impact on your view of anime. Of course it all depends how old you were 10 years ago, if you were to jump into these series at an older age, you obviously wouldn’t have seen an interest in the first place, but assuming that most of you should be near my age group. 16-22. I grew up with these series as Saturday Morning Cartoons, dubbed none-the-less, but still entertaining.
But before you cut me off and say "LOL U LIEK POKEMANZ". Of course most of the series including Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon have all ran their existence straight into a pile of sh*t. The sequel series have lack of originality, contain uninteresting new main characters, reuse plot lines, and just ruin what you were introduced to.
For Example the new Pokemon Series since Indigo League, have replaced the the co-cast, original voice actors (at least in english), and they reuse the same formula OVER AND OVER again. Walk around helping random people with some pokemon involved then eventually get a gym badge. Pokemon has gotten really bad, but you can’t call the first series, an atrocity, it just started and was developing itself.
I personally liked Indigo Leage, the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series ( I watched the SUBS, there a lot better, the american version was brutally butchered), and the first 3 series of Digimon. However I can never go back into them as they are uninteresting at this point.
Anyway the anime I’m really hating right now are Bleach and NARUTO. OMG YES I WENT THERE. You people complain about DBZ, but your watching the same show in these series. Ok well not exactly, their is the of course all of the Japanese humor, excellent coloring and animation, and some interesting characters. However the animation companies are serializing the hell out of these series. Look at the first naruto series, in order to wait for Shippuden they just kept making pointless filler episodes, 200 OF THEM. Bleach has Ichigo becoming goku, just getting more powerful whenever the hell he feels like. (Also this really freaking bothers me, anyone notice for no random reason at all, ALL of the BLEACH CHARACTERS CAN FLY NOW. WHEN THE HELL WAS THIS DECIDED? And why is that if they get knocked back while in the air, they crouch and use the air to stop themselves. THAT DOESN’T EVEN PHYSICALLY MAKE SENSE, DBZ didn’t even do that.)
The main story isn’t bad for these series, however the animation companies are just serializing the series by adding new characters, uninteresting sub plots, and stretching every arc to encompass 100’s of episodes. It’s annoying.

There comes a point were the murky waters of thought seem to go on forever, and then something like this opinion comes along, and suddenly those once murky, opaque oceans turn into the clear, tranquil oasis that we have all been searching for.
We’re I wearing a cap at this moment it would be tipped to you right now my friend.
After that it was rinse, repeat.
and, well, not exactly the entire anime, but the second part of death note (when near becomes L’s successor) was full of fail.
Death Note lost me after the cat and mouse game between Kira and L began. It was getting too tedious.

Pokemon: When I was in middle school, I was more into the Gameboy game than the actual show.
DBZ: I liked it at first, but the ridiculously long battles and excessive banter between the adversaries bogged down the pacing.
I kid, but only barely.
Anime titles are bolded for convenience.
Anyway, worst English-dub animes I’ve seen:
Pokemon. Admittedly I liked the first season or so, and I still do. I get a laugh out of seeing Satoshi written on Ash’s sleeping bag in Ep. 3 (or was it 4?) I never had the opportunity to watch the Johto arcs, and when I started to see it again, they were in Hoenn. From there, up to right before the DPP season, I say this: for a teen, BAD. For its intended audience, it could be better. It needs a tad more plot and continuity (and less non-canon stuff) to be watchable for me. Remember, kids become trainers at 10. TEN. Keep that number in mind before you bash it too hard.
So I guess I should revise this to "Pokemon Seasons 3 through 9." I went back and watched episodes from each season. Same bad plot of "become a master," same bad voice acting (no, wait; it got worse) and same, horrible, awful FILLER. I know that the game’s story doesn’t give them much to work off of, but the show is now roughly 50% filler, isn’t it?
OH AND LET’S NOT FORGET THE MOVIES. *cringe* I love the first two movies. They may not have been canon (though weirdly the first is canon to one of the episodes) but they were good. (Actually, I think the first one WAS canon to the games, but just barely.) But, you see, once you start making movies, you can’t stop. Now we have…Legend of the Unknown Tower (which was decent, I guess), 4Ever (bad), Heroes (bad), Jirachi: Wishmaker (haven’t seen, but looks painfully non-canon), Destiny Deoxys (haven’t seen, actually looks to be decent), Mew and the Wave-Guiding Hero: Lucario (I’ve seen some bad artwork in this one, and it has a weak storyline), Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy (saw part of it, it was painfully slow-paced with poor animation techniques mixed in), and…Rise of Darkrai (which I haven’t seen but looks lackluster.) Oh, let’s throw Giratina and the Bouquet of the Sky: Sheimi on top, which just looks like a way to market Sheimi to the Japanese, and there’s a rumor that Darkrai and Sheimi’s movies are part of a little PLOT TRILOGY, to be concluded in something like Diaruga v. Parukia v. Giratina v. Aruseus or something like that. This ALONE puts Pokemon WAY WAY down my list.
DragonBall GT. Notice that I didn’t put DBZ? I don’t even really count DBZ among anime anymore. DBGT has to be some of the worst DragonBall I’ve EVER watched. To me (I watched all but the Cell arc for DBZ) it didn’t fit the feel of the DragonBall universe. The pacing was horrible for one, and the characters were so lackluster. I forced myself to watch all of GT. I wish I hadn’t.
One Piece. I have a lot of respect for Oda Eiichiro. He has created an utterly massive universe of characters for the manga, which I like (though it is confusing at times.) The anime is actually quite enjoyable…IN JAPAN. But of course it was doomed the moment 4Kids got their hands on it. They haven’t, as far as I know, done a single anime right. Yes, there are the themes of friendship and what-not in One Piece, but THEY ARE NOT THE FOCUS OF EVERY FREAKING ARC. Voice acting was unbearable and the "kid-friendly" changes make me sick. (Stop and think for a moment. One Piece is like any other manga in that its intended age target is…what, 14 and over? Something HAS to go wrong if you try to pull in the 10-13 crowd.)
Now, for the worst animes I’ve EVER seen, including Japan:
Naruto. I’m REALLY sorry, but I can’t watch it in Japanese OR English anymore. So much non-canon material, lousy artwork on the fight scenes, lackluster voicing talent…and catchphrases. "Believe it!" is horrid enough, I admit it. But when you have people shouting "KAWAII" and "DESU" everywhere like they think they’re Japanese, it makes "-TTE BAYO" that much worse. (To say it in another light, Naruto sets the standard for weeaboos everywhere by making it okay to tag on Japanese half-phrases where unneeded.) I have a good deal of respect for the manga, but the anime is quite honestly a waste of television.
Yu-Gi-Oh. I…I don’t even want to go there, really. I can’t watch it in English or Japanese. Voice acting is horrible. The plot is just bad…not even remotely exciting. Seriously, if you read the first 7 volumes (I think that’s right) of Yu-Gi-Oh, you get a VERY different impression of the series. To be perfectly honest, the whole thing (manga and anime) was ruined by the introduction of cards. I think this series could have really taken off otherwise. But it’s doomed to the rubbish pile now. Only good thing to be said for it is that it makes for a hilarious Abridged series. I enjoy the Egyptian arc…but only in the manga. I enjoy a few small parts of the Domino City arc…in the manga. I enjoy THE FIRST SEVEN VOLUMES BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT THE HEART OF THE CARDS. Worst kid-friendly cop-out ever.
(I almost added Bleach to this list, but…when I think back to the manga, it was REALLY dull until you got a few volumes in, and it picked up a great storyline.)
That was one weird aninme o o,
We’re I wearing a cap at this moment it would be tipped to you right now my friend.
Please tell me you omitted the bold part of her rant in your kudos. To complain about something not being physically possible in an anime that focuses on super powers based off of "spirit energy" is fucking ridiculous and hypocritical.
Yes, you read that right. A bunch of pseudophilosophical twaddle couched in a thin veneer of underage sexual tension, with not a single likable character in the cast. He who isn’t a whinging little twerp is a complete jagoff, or in some cases, barely has any characterization at all. Can’t seem to decide if it wants to be comedy, action or drama, and succeeds at none of them in the process. It has some nice mech designs, but that’s the best thing that can be said about it. It’s a collection of dressed-up cliches at best, and anyone who classifies it as "one of the greatest anime titles of all time" is wrong and deserves to be hit in the face repeatedly with a crowbar made of broken glass.
You know it’s true, and that you won’t change my mind. Any leaping to the defense of this turd will only be taken as admittance that said leaper is simply afraid that I’m right.
(And yes, I’m perfectly serious.)
Do you mean the girls as the main characters or the girls as supporting characters, eye candy,comic relief, and/or something to counter the testosterone(anything that has to do with males) in the show?
My only beef is with Deathnote. I just never got interested in it because it seemed kind of lame.
Funny I like pretty much everything here that people hate. XD
That’s a lot like me becuase watching ANY anime because it gets me out of boredome. That and I don’t want to watch barney and the teletubbies. "TWITCH"
Though Pokemon has some bad luck with some episodes, some were so bad they banned those episodes and one of them put the show on a 4-month haitus. Here is the list of banned episodes and the reasons why:http://www.serebii.net/anime/banned.shtml
they had content not suitable for retarded 4 yr old babies which 4shame entertainment thinks its their target audience.
like the beach episode, where james puts implants in his chest to participate in the all-women show.
or the VERY canon episode of safari zone, where a clint eastwood lookalike points a gun at ash several times (canon because here ash caughts his army of tauros)

What about the one that hospialized 800 kids because of seizures?
ravemaster too…
the porygon one?
well, that was truly unexpected.
i have seen that episode and nothing happened to m- *CONVULSES*
Electric Soldier Porygon…unexpected. I agree. Though I watched just the flashing lights portion and…nothing.
But then they ban some stupid ones for silly reasons, namely the Barboach-Whiscash one. I haven’t seen it, but apparently it was banned out of "bad taste" because there were earthquakes in Japan when it was supposed to air (and yeah, those Pokes can make Earthquake.) And they skipped it here. STUPID.
South Park in Japan: You never know. o_o; But honestly, I think the humor would be different. (I don’t even like the show, what am I saying, talking like I know…)
well, that was truly unexpected.
i have seen that episode and nothing happened to m- *CONVULSES*
LOL irony which reminds me How many DBZ haterz heard of this phrase
That reminds me of a very Random fact about Nintendo. Nintendo Operateed a love hotel in Japan. There are 20 more facts here:
Bread anime? And wow, I didn’t think it was possible for someone to dislike FLCL, much less call it the worst anime ever…
i think it’s called yakitate japan… and it’s definitely a…unique series: some guy wants to make a national bread for japan
well, i guess that’s true, calling it the worst anime ever is a little harsh. it just didn’t make it onto the list of anime series that i would watch over and over again… but i’d rather watch FLCL than yakitate japan >_>
Sailormoon/Bishoujo Senshi was cut to hell and the VA was…well lets no go there. The Japanese w/ english sub is good though.
I would have to say Crash Gear Turbo or whatever its called. It’s another one of those pokemon/beybaldes types of animes…for kids…they have the cord pull cars ~___~;…its the biggest piece of rubbish i’ve ever seen…
I hope no one gets hurt with this, but samurai X… I mean, I say is a horrible anime because kenshin himself is just pretty much invincible. I mean, we got this guy who can kill everyone and anything, and nothing ever happens to him, while at the same time everyone else sucks at fighting. Another thing, the last enemy kill himself or something? damn… they could have balanced kenshin strenght a little bit more.

Pokemon is ok for kids…or if you wanna watch something that eats your brain XD;…But its ok to have on in the background…just someone kill Pikachu already!
Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen? I guess, thing is that Kenshin at the time had seen some horrible things, he was young and strong…and he had no emotional attachment to anything until Tomoe…You can’t believe how strong you are without attachment (also how strong you can be with it.) But eh! It is an anime and not real XDDD;
Hey each to our own, all have different tastes in animes/mangas =3. I’m just happy you actually gave a reason for you dislike of the series instead of just saying you didn’t like it. I think the OVA/OAV did need a little bit more. I know a lot of people HATED Seisouhen…You know for actually giving Kenshin an ending XDDD;;;…
>_> Hey watch Steel Angel Kurumi 2 (even if its one ep. It SUCKS)…If you watch the subbed version you get a "desu" or something after EACH sentence x_X…
wow this was actually one of my favorite animes… considering I’m not too much into the newer animes (after the year 1999 and so on, different style of drawings, CG whatever is called)… but I do understand to a certain extent why you probably didn’t liked it… I mean it could have been more better, since it got sort of repetitive, the same thing, robin hunts down a witch, and then concrete but slow paced information, not to say the show was short and it ends up in the beginning of the series ehhhhh -_-. But despite these faults, I still liked it though.
Lucky Star: Too predictable; characters are flat and uninteresting. You know them all after the first episode. Jokes are often the same.
Naruto: Too predictable; too unbalanced. Some of the fights make no sense and the main character is a one-trick pony.
Kamen no Maid Guy: Perverse humor is fine, but not when it completely cancels out the plot and makes you hate all of the characters.
We’re I wearing a cap at this moment it would be tipped to you right now my friend.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks Nasruto and Bleach are both overrated and suck dick standing alone once you figure them out…
You’ve got an ally on this one.
To Everyone says they hate: DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, etc.
I’m sure that you weren’t saying that 10 years ago. These series all had probably at one point made an impact on your view of anime. Of course it all depends how old you were 10 years ago, if you were to jump into these series at an older age, you obviously wouldn’t have seen an interest in the first place, but assuming that most of you should be near my age group. 16-22. I grew up with these series as Saturday Morning Cartoons, dubbed none-the-less, but still entertaining.
But before you cut me off and say "LOL U LIEK POKEMANZ". Of course most of the series including Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon have all ran their existence straight into a pile of sh*t. The sequel series have lack of originality, contain uninteresting new main characters, reuse plot lines, and just ruin what you were introduced to.
For Example the new Pokemon Series since Indigo League, have replaced the the co-cast, original voice actors (at least in english), and they reuse the same formula OVER AND OVER again. Walk around helping random people with some pokemon involved then eventually get a gym badge. Pokemon has gotten really bad, but you can’t call the first series, an atrocity, it just started and was developing itself.
I personally liked Indigo Leage, the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series ( I watched the SUBS, there a lot better, the american version was brutally butchered), and the first 3 series of Digimon. However I can never go back into them as they are uninteresting at this point.
Anyway the anime I’m really hating right now are Bleach and NARUTO. OMG YES I WENT THERE. You people complain about DBZ, but your watching the same show in these series. Ok well not exactly, their is the of course all of the Japanese humor, excellent coloring and animation, and some interesting characters. However the animation companies are serializing the hell out of these series. Look at the first naruto series, in order to wait for Shippuden they just kept making pointless filler episodes, 200 OF THEM. Bleach has Ichigo becoming goku, just getting more powerful whenever the hell he feels like. (Also this really freaking bothers me, anyone notice for no random reason at all, ALL of the BLEACH CHARACTERS CAN FLY NOW. WHEN THE HELL WAS THIS DECIDED? And why is that if they get knocked back while in the air, they crouch and use the air to stop themselves. THAT DOESN’T EVEN PHYSICALLY MAKE SENSE, DBZ didn’t even do that.)
The main story isn’t bad for these series, however the animation companies are just serializing the series by adding new characters, uninteresting sub plots, and stretching every arc to encompass 100’s of episodes. It’s annoying.
Agreed on that one- these shows are overrated,- so for me to talk about them would be a waste of time- In this sea of madness, oyu’ve cleared it up quite well- I’ll have to try harder and participate more myself.
Case and point, Bleach/Naruto
the series was decent to bad.
and then i saw the final episode.
i could not believe how unhumanly bad it was, so i decided to sail the internet in search of the series, then downloaded the last episode to see if it was censored or edited in any way.
to my horror, the episode was the same, with the same horrible ending.
to me, the ending killed the whole point of the anime: the intended massively epic fight to the death of the two male protagonists, while fuu was watching, but instead THEY PART WAYS WITH JUST A GOODBYE???

1) Everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how unfathomably wrong it may be.
2)The fact that they don’t kill each other is character development, you know… the thing good stories have. If you want to watch a straight fighter anime with no progressing of the characters stick with DBZ.
3) You just gave the whole ending away, we have a spoiler tag
why are you such a hugeass faggot catastrophe
Crayon Shin-Chan: It’s trying to be like Our Simpson’s and Family Guy- only they take the comedy these shows base themselves around MUCH TOO FAR TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
Accompany that with the fact that I hate the main character (because he’s a bigger ASSHOLE than Maggie of The Buzz on Maggie (another insult to Disney’s once great legacy, BTW, for anyone who cars, just don’t dig it up (or worse, Bessie from the epic failure that is Nickelodeon’s most obviously lazy-ass effort covering up for their abusive whoring out of Spongebob, The Mighty B! ))) Along with his whole family, who are just plain incomparable to anyone in real life and NOT FUCKING FUNNY, and you can see where I’m going with this shit. Phew!
Lazy American efforts like The Buzz on Maggie and the Mighty B! WHICH I LOATHE, are no exception to this lack of character development and lack of funny material/storyline/plot to make a comedy cartoon/teen angst cartoon. Just like those two cartoons that are, THANK GOD, IN HELL NOW, this should be, too- it’s uninmaginitive, ugly, stupid, and it could just maker anyone like myself, who watches it again WANT TO FUCKING DIE!!!
If I ever needed to recommend shows like The Simpsons, The Boondocks, Family Guy, American Dad, and Robot Chicken (Despite some of these shows being completely overrated by fan boys DESPITE MY HONEST RESPECT FOR THEM), THIS IS IT. I MEAN IT- SHIN-CHAN WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF, ESPECIALLY ANY OF THE LATESET EPS OUT ON ADULT SWIM.
One more thing: Is it just my good vision, or is Bleach NOT something one would think about when talking about a show about samurai from some Japanese interpretation of Valhalla who fight demons who escape their watch and sometimes swordfight with each other, only unlike Valhalla, if the loser dies, he/she is gone for good?! HELL NO!!! If you’re smart, you’re thinking about what to wash and not wash with bleach…
Bleach, in short, would’ve made a great name for a show about the daily lives of random people who walk into Laundromats around town, people who tend to them/ keep them in good repair , and people who have conversations about their daily life or the news/make friends/ have good or bad relationships and argue amongst themselves/ Gossip of ANY KIND… Within them.
Bleach should be a show about life inside a laundromat and the peole who either work or utilize them. They wouldn’t be the same characters all the time, either. How’s that for thinking outside the box aof a better show idea for a show named Bleach.
Anyone could say my idea sounds lame, but until anyone can sit through a diliuted version of Valhalla that tries and fully rips off Dragonball Z and Naruto with unnecessary fighting and characters that you wouldn’t want to connect with (I can understand Ichigo’s kind of an asshole because his mom died and his dad is a deadbeat bastard, but anyone could connect with him if they’ve been through the smae or something similar), and you can see where I’m hopefully and honestly coming from with shit like this…
But, hey- maybe you anime geeks are still going to me, "What could be any worse?"
Hold that- there are a lot more shows worse than this out there from Japan or my US Soil, but come on…Grow up- it’s just more of the same.
DRAGON BALL Z
…The orignal Dragon Ball was fun though…
Sure material for your 18+ Visual Novel but failed translation to Anime not to mention the bad ending leaves a pretty bitter taste to the bud.
DBZ is a marmite thing…your either hate it…or your REALLY hate it…i fall under the latter.
oh and Full Metal Alchemist. No need to comment on that. lets just say "omg… kill me" sums it up.
Full Metal Alchemist(No comment)
Inuyasha(Dragged out too long and bad ending)
Naruto(Gay and completely overrated)
anything Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh related isn’t worth glancing at
Otherwise I really haven’t seen that much Anime that was too bad…
Ecchi and big tits are nice and all but…what were the producers smoking to think that making an anime out of it was a brilliant idea?
Not only that, but the original manga was unappealing, too.
I’ve absolutely despised Trigun for a number of years now. I don’t know why, there’s just something about it that infuriates me to no end. I used to like DBZ, but not anymore. I mean, come on! Frieza laid a bomb within Namek that was supposed to be detonated five minutes after and it took them, like, twelve episodes to get it done! And Bleach is just an abomination. The only reason it has a huge fanbase is because the girl’s tits make DDD-cups look nonexistant, which gets boring after the first episode.
fixed.
Cowboy Bebop is hateful.
Ah, okay. I’ve never been on a board that used html over bb code before, since it’s a massive security hole and all. So I thought it was all done via bb. ๐
Naruto started out sucky, but it got better. They even started using the Japanese intros starting in Season three, first it was just the soundtrack, then the videos from season 4 on. They were also pretty light on the editing compared to other places.
Dragonball was a rather light-hearted anime, but ended on a dark note. Dragonball Z was meant to be dark, and kept getting darker. I mean there was planet destruction! You don’t see that in many other animes. The movies were also good. I don’t mind the people who don’t like the series, and I’m not trying to sway them. I’m just saying that dbz is very dark compared to other anime. There’s massive bloodshed in the unedited/Japanese versions.
Inuyasha, is a rather neutral shojo anime. There are more fangirls than fanboys despite this. It’s set in Feudal Japan, with slight glimpses in modern Japan.
Yu-Gi-Oh… is better as a Manga, and as the card game itself, I’ll give you guys that much. 5Ds, the newest anime, isn’t worth my time, and GX… well, that has a neutral standing in my opinion.
Pokemon is good as a game series, and was good until season nine. The voices were surprisingly good for an English anime until then. Veronica Taylor was a good Ash. This new VA… well, I don’t like him/her. Veronica had several years to perfect what this upstart is trying to do.
Digimon… what I saw of it… it sucks.
Yumeria, it’s good, but could be better.
Well, those are my opinions. I apologize if a few sound biased.
i mean, its supposed to have a very deep message.
but at times it was sooo deep not even sunlight could reach it.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is pretty the same thing as DBZ, but with people playing a card game!
Bobobobobobo, or whatever the hell it’s called, is probably the show most threatening to your IQ on television.
Poke’mon isn’t that bad considering the other shit aimed towards kids. It seems to be one of those TV shows where there’s great potential, but the team just didn’t want to tray since it’s just a "kid’s show."
Naruto would be tolerable if it would get rid of the title character. (I fucking hate his voice, his testicles need to drop already!) Ironically, another problem with the show I noticed in the approx. 10 episodes I watched was, all of the other characters get more facetime and character development than the character the anime is about: Naruto! This is honestly worse than the recent Sonic games!
As you might have noticed, I seem to be slamming the Toonami shows. Well, that’s where most of the shit is, but don’t worry; there’s shit in Adult Swim too. ๐
Inuyahsa, oh my God. This is probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life. The half-demon concept, seriously? What, were you out of werewolves or cyborgs? Good demons? Now, I’m more into science fiction that I am into Fantasy, so I don’t know if this is a "tried and true" concept but it’s pretty damn stupid to me. Demon’s are fallen Angels, that’s like the epitome of evil. Okay, enough about the dumb ass concepts. The show itself, is like Anime for slow retards. It’s the same damn thing over and over and over again. "Oh, I have to defeat Naraku!" So the gang goes off to find and kill Naraku, only to have their asses beat by him. "How are we going to defeat Naraku?" A character pops up (usually that old guy that constructed the Tetsaiga) describing a technique that can be used to defeat Naraku. The gang goes off to acquire the knowledge to perform this technique, acquire, and Inuyasha shows it off once. The gang goes and fights Naraku again, defeat him, find out that it was a puppet, he’s escaped, or was rescued or some other Deus Ex Machina bullshit. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’ve watched campers play Counter-Strike less predictable than this.
Fullmetal Alchemist, this show isn’t too bad. I just can’t get into it for some reason. It might be because of the constant joking of the protagonist’s height. Geeze, what is this Fresh Prince? It might’ve been because the protagonist’s brother even though a possessed suit of armour, is still a total pussy. Or maybe, it might be because of the total bullshit ending. I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Basically watched the ending thinking it was just another episode. (it was part of a marathon) When it was over, I noticed that there were no more showings for that night. "That can’t be the ending, it can’t be that stupid!" I foolishly thought. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and yep, it was the ending.
DeathNote, I’m not going to say that this is a bad anime, because I haven’t seen a single episode, bu what I say is: "What a stupid concept!" I thought that Blizzard’s idea for turning WarCraft into an MMORPG was stupid, but this… Holy Hell. Did the writer’s suffer so horribly from writer’s block that they decided to watch bad 90’s Greek Mythology influenced action shows? I remember seeing a similar concept in an episode of Xena. (different time, I was stupid) Not to mention the shitty Punk influenced Grunge played at the end (or was it the beginning) of each episode.
But as bad as Bobobobobobo (or whatever the hell it is), DeathNote and Inuyasha are, nothing could prepare me for the shocking, disturbing, most horrifying piece of shit that has ever disgraced the anime genre:
Shin-Shan
I’ve tried and tried to get this show. When I first saw it I immediately switched to a different TV channel. After thinking about it, I thought "Maybe it’s one of those shows that seems stupid at first, but if you stick with it, it’s pretty funny." So when it came back on later that night, I tried to watch the whole thing. By the time the first commercial rolled, I had a colossal headache. I thought the animation in South Park was bad. The animation in Shin-Shan makes the animation from South Park look like something out of Fantasia. I think the thing that contributed most to the headache, was the jokes. What the hell? In what universe could this possibly be funny? It’s like someone took the concept behind Ren and Stimpy, made it more perverted, added swear words, replaced the animals with humans, and had some kid drop trow and dance or whatever the shit he does. The only thing that gave me anything near a chuckle was the name of their Super Hero: Action Bastard. The voice acting, did the crew just record people shouting? I supposed it achieves that "unrehearsed" sound, but some of them don’t even sound like they belong in the same cartoon. If I had a chance between watching just uninterrupted one episode of this show or slow painful testicular torture, I’d take the torture in a heart beat!
Oh God, how could I forget Duel Masters?
I remember hearing someone talking about it. (the show and the card game)
"So, it’s like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic the Gathering, sounds okay." I watched an episode, turned off the TV and went outside. The jokes are worse than most other bullshit animes such as Sonic X and the card playing is even worse than Yu-Gi-Oh! The card game was okay, but if I want to play a TCG like Magic: the Gathering, I’d play Magic: the Gathering.
Just wondering if anyone can help.
On one of the OH My Goddess video tapes. not sure if it was the movie or not. =/
but on one of them there is a preview of an anime called K.I.M.E.R.A.(I here its crap) this question is not for that anime.
I am wondering if anyone knows of the MUSIC that is playing during that preview?
Thanx for anyone that can help trying to locate this tune, or any help towards it…
Pokemon, in recent years, is actually somewhat bad. I’ll admit, I used to like it, and I still do, though not nearly as much as I had when I was little.
Naruto is a pretty crappy anime (no offense to fans), and I hate how many people (including my sister) are Narutards. She considers me a MUGENtard (because I play a fighting game engine called M.U.G.E.N), but seriously, that’s one anime I really hate.
Amazing Nurse Nanako I didn’t really find too bad at all. Decent enough.
I’ve been hearing that Love Hina is very good. Whoever hates the anime can burn.
Sailor Moon was an anime I didn’t really like back when I was little, but it is somewhat drawing my intrests.
Many other anime are something of superior than other anime. Galaxy Angel, while it may not really have no plot to it, it’s a good anime. But why this topic was started is to be questioned. I understand there are plenty of bashers out there, but an entire topic about hating anime? Besides, I’m seeing nothing but hate for Pokemon and Sailor Moon and what-not.
.
i can safely assume im the love hina expert in the boards.
and i also can safely tell you the anime is SHIT.
when i bought the manga (yes, i buy manga) it quickly became my favorite manga ever, even more so than saint seiya (and saint seiya is my overall favorite franchise).
when i got the anime, the whole time i was with a big WTF expression on my face.
sure, it has its good points, but they can be counted with one hand and have fingers to spare.
on the negative side, the anime was severely butchered, like, gantz anime ending bad.
thats for the main series.
the AGAIN story arc (kanako’s arrival) has a drawing style more faithful to the manga, whereas the story was once again butchered to gantz ending bad.
the specials are not that bad, the summer special was entertaining at best.
if you youre just curious to seeing the anime, go ahead, you will be dissapointed.
When most animes go beyond 100 episodes, I think there are two possible problems: Either a good amount of those episodes are fillers and are trying to advance the plot as slowly as possible or the plot is starting to lose its originality by reusing the same themes over and over. I have stopped watching some midway because of these two issues.
Saint Beast (tv series with 6 episodes)
A friend of mine was SO into this anime that I was expecting something very good, so I watched it. Big mistake! The scenarios, plot and whatever else happens are there just to give the (male) characters opportunities to touch each other, despite this is not yaoi and they’re (supposedly) not homossexual (although their looks alone state otherwise). Embarrassing situations (not comical) aside, the only emotion they seem to know is angst; lots and lots of angst. Basically, there’s nothing else in this series. No character development, flat animation, poor music score, etc.
Despite being small, this was one of the most painful anime that I watched to date.
Angel Sanctuary (OVA series with 3 episodes)
If you’re asking, yes, I read the manga, and it was decent, although nothing special. The OVA series, however, is below horrible.
It basically follows the story of your average teenager, with your average teenager problems, like wanting to bone his sister while hiding it from everyone else. Now, to that (already ground breaking) premise, add some homossexual demons (who, ironically, are the good guys) and some evil angels. Then, seal a "rebel" angel (i.e., a bad turning good) inside your teenager, and voil???! You have one of the worst plots ever conceived!
In any case, Cowboy Bebop’s smoking habit and his obnoxiousness with it and just blatant disregard for courtesy pretty much irks me so that I can’t enjoy the story, while Shentan… well that makes me want to kill someone.
yu gi oh its a copy of magic the gathering which is big in Japan. the only anime that i dont like are anime that dont make sence! or anime that isnt completed all those anime that everyone says sucks most are comleted series. which are still popular til today i try to to keep an open mind on all anime, and give a try! but honestly almost all anime that are not old school have lost there flair orginial anime like DBZ, pokemon, and digimon have a respect for me cause there isnt anime like it revamped anime with the same storytelling over and over again gets kinda tiring. whats everyone opoinion?

Couldn’t agree with you more.
Worst ones for me were are the following:
Girls Bravo – One long sex joke in my opinion.
DearS – Some parts of it are funny… if you can get around the slavery theme.
And of course, most of the mentioned endless animes like Naruto, DBZ, and Bleach. How these animes become popular is beyond me.
Naruto
Death Note
Ghost in the Shell movie
Elemental Gelade
Sailor Moon
Gunslinger Girl
Nah I’m never really into all those *super power* shows. And don’t get me started on Death Note -_-
But on this topic, Digimon is an Anime I do not like.
Super power shows like Naruto or Dragonball Z. Those shows that have all these amazing characters with amazing powers, doing nothing and going on for too long.
If that makes sense ^^;
If that makes sense ^^;lol that is the majority of anime/manga lol.
For dislikes there are a lot. However i pretty much didn’t like what was said here.
DBZ, naruto, bleach (manga is ok), love hina (anime only hate though, the comic was excellent), death note (become repetative, the real was ok), and much more
A.. i dont know why but i hate it.
The main guy’s like, I can’t kill someone, even if that someone is a giant chicken monster.
(think you spell it like that)
Giant dicks come outta the ground and fire lazers (fucked up man!)
the guy who thought that must have been a perv.
Naruto
Death Note
Ghost in the Shell movie
Elemental Gelade
Sailor Moon
Gunslinger Girl
Nah I’m never really into all those *super power* shows. And don’t get me started on Death Note -_-
I’m totally with you except the Ghost in the Shell movie. Can’t imagine, what someone could possibly not like about it. Even if you don’t like the theme or setting it’s still a great movie contentwise.
yeah Ghost in the Shell rocks, its one of the best of all time.
sailor moon lol watched that as a kid. feel like a ponce saying that
SAC1+2 was one of the greatest series, better than the films.
lol so true you could just push your way into the disabled parking space right by the entrance. WHOSE DISABLED NOW EH.
Really liked the tachikoma in the series as well.^^
that alone encouraged me to spend ???30 on a Tachikoma model lol
DAMN to the threadposter why didnt you say how much old everyone is XD
I think it depends on more than 70% hold old you are and the rest is the mind!
i really "liked" DBZ abd DB and Pokemon and Digimon and blablamon and and and ๐
But i know that they are especially made for kids thats not a lie! For old people it can be shit but i see that lots of young people like them XD
I am not a young child but i know that they made my young life very exciting and with lots of fun in the school with lots of friends !
good old times!
BUT
BACK TO TOPIC:
i hate especially anime where the people has HIGHLY PITCHED VOICES! One of the new ones: K-ON!
Uah after that i still heard sounds in my ear <___<
So such anime which are only with high pitched,and not only girl anime but never saw a boy anime or multisex anime with extremly highly pitched voices!
DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY HIGH VOICE AAARH XD
(think you spell it like that)
Giant dicks come outta the ground and fire lazers (fucked up man!)
the guy who thought that must have been a perv.
its a hentai, what did you expect?
I watched 3/4 of it, hoping that it would get better. But it didn’t. The main character got on my nerves so bad that I just went on YouTube and watched the scene I had heard about at the end where he gets stabbed to death. It wasn’t nearly satisfying enough.
That is about the only series where I wished I had those hours of my life back. I’ve seen plenty of mediocre anime, but School Days is, so far, the only series that I outright hate.

Which Final Fantasy Character Are You? (http://www.ff-fan.com/chartest)
Final Fantasy 7 (http://www.ff-fan.com/final-fantasy-7)
Sorry everyone, I just don’t get what’s so good about it.
I didn’t like Sailor Moon after Season 2 because they killed her voice.
Digimon after Season 3 was not worth watching anymore.
:billymays:
Are you referring to the newer or older anime? And are you talking about the live-action movies?
Even if you’re a fighting games hardcore fan or a collector or you like watching trash 90’s anime (note that I love 90’s anime)…DON’T make the mistake and watch Art of Fighting. You’ll cry in front of the screen "Whyyyyyyyy?". Why did they dare to make such a trash and put the name of such a famous fighting. Man, even Psychic Force (another anime based on a fighting game) is much better than this.
haha, I remember renting this back when it came out. I don’t think we even made it past the first 20 minutes before putting something else on.

Bakugan-Seemed okay but its just an anime based on a kiddy game. Yu-gi-oh started that.
As for Naruto and One piece the reason why they suck after a certain part is because the directer or the producers changed after these points.
Other wise like stated before I can’t stand emo anime and betterman.
Bettermans plot just sucked. Emo anime, just to whinny.
I remember this series, is bad. Bad in an awesome way just because is so stupid and random. I don’t know why i enjoy this crappy show so much back then.
Oh well, it was fun.
I would sue you if I could right now. :notgood:
I agree with the live action movies Mutronics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutronics) and Guyver:_Dark_Hero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyver:_Dark_Hero), even though the second movie did tie in more closely to the anime than the first one.
Worst anime for me, is ole bullet bum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Boy). Gods, wtf did I like about this, when I was growing up… that and the whole Dragonball thing. Seriously though, who the fuck wants to run around holding the balls of a dragon?
Bettermans plot just sucked. Emo anime, just to whinny.
omg……life makes sense now, i always thought that one piece just lost its apeal at one point,but i didnt notice that luffy had a changed voice actor and a new director was there,because i watched all eps from 1 to 416 in one go a year ago in one month’s time so i didnt notice,but yeah even the animation of one piece took one huge dip to shit land and what we see today is how it looks like when it was raised from that shit.just compare luffy’s crappy animation these days with the first 50 or so episodes,there is a huge difference.
as for naruto…..the differences are so obvious even a 10 year old would notice the difference between the shit piece that is shittpuuden and the original naruto (eps 1 -134)
Uuuuuum…whatever…
Dude procreating with himself not cool
All those who hate Sailor Moon…(coming from a Sailor Moon Fan)
Try the Japanese version with subs for goodness sake!
Cardcaptor Sakura is a pure magical girl anime, Sailor Moon is magical girl but its not a pure magical girl like CCS since it combines Sentai and Magical girl genres.
I HATE HATE HATE the Sailor Moon DIC and Cloverway version = Crappy and S*** voices = Cuts and Stupid Dialogues = WORST DUB EVER!
Original = Awsome and memorable voices = Good storyline (Manga is better though) = BEST ANIME EVER!
Animes I dont like: MECHA anime…I cant stand them they’re boring! The only mecha type of anime I can tolerate is Rahxephon.
Naruto I dont like that much
Bleach – Not my type of anime
Digimon – I used to like it but…I hate dub (the music sucks). The Japanese one is better!
Full Metal Alchemist – Never gotten into that anime…
Death Note – Boring…
Eureka 7 – Boring…
Pokemon is alright – But I prefer playing the game than watch the anime
This is an anime with plot twists that you can see a mile away with characters that look and sound so bland that any 4Kids anime (and maybe Bakugan) make for a better form of entertainment, with character designs that match their personalities or lack thereof.
The story is extremely boring and predictable, following every generic anime cliche like a freakin’ parody. Unfortunately, it is not, as it TRIES to be some serious story about a corporate conspiracy with child soldier/psychics…
…oh, and the obligatory "littlest cancer patient" is there, too, in the form of a frail girl that (obviously) has some significance in the story somewhere down the road.
Oh, and if you even THOUGHT 4Kids had some bad voice acting, you clearly haven’t seen the dub for this show!
You’ll have a greater appreciation for 4Kids, if that’s even possible, after witnessing the horrendous "efforts" put into 98.9% of the cast! The 1.1% was left out in hopes that somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind, there truly was some sufficient voice work here that I overlooked, but I doubt it.
Oh, and the music, the usual sliver of hope in most anime? Non-existent.
There’s something that SOUNDS LIKE music, but it’s really just mindless noise, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Seriously, though, the soundtrack sucks. Opening theme, closing theme, and everything in between.
Now, I have seen a LOT of anime: dubbed, subbed, and others that would drive people insane.
I’ve watched Puni Puni Poemi, and found it entertaining.
I watched 4Kids dubs and found something to enjoy in the soundtrack.
I even watched Revolutionary Girl Utena, the movie, AND the live-action play….AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD IT (which, IMO, pulled off the "mind-trickery" much better than NGE…don’t hurt me!).
I watched ALL 26 episodes of E’s Otherwise, subbed and dubbed, and I can honestly say that there is NOTHING redeeming about it.
This thing that calls itself an "anime" is a mockery to all forms of storytelling imaginable. It is an utter abomination that once seen can never be unseen….and once you do, you WILL regret it.
Somehow, I still don’t think you fully understand just how bad this is, so I wish to show you Episode 01:
Part 1 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAkl9UaqYfk
Part 2 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg4km2jLFrY
Part 3 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TECkWCYxUd4
Watch the other 25 episodes at your own risk.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I challenge someone to honestly defend this and I challenge someone to find something EVEN WORSE than E’s Otherwise.
Good luck to both parties. ๐
My god, whoevers idea that was has some dementia problems I think.
But living in Japan, I can tell you, there are far more, loads, tons, piles of seeping shit of anime that you cannot imagine. I am not into anime much, I am just really into Hajime no Ippo and GTO and the more serious and realistic stuff, but whenever I go to a book store and just browse the manga or animation stuff to see what it is like now, it is just more big eye stupid kogyaru chicks with a piece of their panties showing while holding either a weapon of some sort, or a cat.

I…I feel sorry for what you must be going through.
I haven’t see Ippo yet, but I do have a soft spot for it (it’s on my to-do list, though).
But don’t worry, with the way things are going, we’ll be sharing in on your pain very, very soon…XD
Most of their "fight" scenes were worse than the Naruto filler episodes.
I didn’t like Shaman King, Samurai Champloo or Rumble Hearts (RH is a Sappy heterosexual romance anime XP, I only got it cause it was 3$)
Although I have heard about Elfin Lied and it is an anime that I would never get.
It WASTED 110minutes of my life
For example, I love the robot designs and 80’s music in "The Humanoid" even though I think the story is brainless and cliche. I like "Roots Search" for its ending song and unique concept (which I suspect may have inspired "Event Horizon," though one can never be sure), even though "Roots Search" is utterly horrendous in every other aspect. And "Crystal Triangle"… the "grorious Engrish" and "Russianese" literally made me laugh out loud, as well as the fact that God seems to be a giant squeaky-voiced caterpillar. I’m not kidding.
But I think the abosolute worst I have seen are "Mars of Destruction" and "Sailor and the Seven Ballz." They do have their funny moments, but in my opinion, this is not enough to make them "gold-plated sh!t."
Sailor Moon is a classic, but I consider it as an anime aimed for girls and boys in denial (homos in the closet) ^_^.
Naruto, it’s 1st half of the story was really lame as fuck, but it’s gotten better (story wise) since the main character came back grown up (less childish). The only annoying thing on the 2nd half of the story was how naruto is still seeking for his boyfriend to come back to the village, lmao.
Any retarded anime that gives a lot of loli, too much fan service and terribad story is just not worth watching and should be forgotten that ever existed.
you dont like an anime featuring girls in sailor suits.
are you of those who consider female wrestling (that is, two half naked women doing suggestive moves)EXTREMELY lame, but cheer regular wrestling, which is two half naked men doing the same suggestive moves? (let it be known that i despise wrestling in general).
as for me… a bad anime is one that has a bad artstyle, bad music, a bad story and its boring. yamazaki comes to mind.
Sounds like Maids vs Butlers.
The characters are not allowed to hurt their enemies despite them having potentially deadly magic batons (instead they use them to round the aliens up), their vehicles are nothing but oversized toys, the military in the anime sucked balls (what were they thinking?), and several annoying characters especially that exchange girl and Sylvia. Watching this is wasting 15 minutes of your life per episode that you won’t get back and will be begging to get back.
Happiness
Cahos Head
Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka

but the absolute worst of all time has to be "Legend of the overfiend" (this one is definitely not for <18), not just for the xxx+ plus but for the gore and violence too.
and, I’m sorry, but I’m tired of giant robo animes, "robotech", etc.
Anyways, one of the most terribad animes I saw lately is called: Rio – Rainbow Gate, I was just curious what it was about and I so fucking want those 1-5 minutes of my life to be brought back, such a waste of time and never will make the same error.
And like I have stated before, one of the most worst, retarded, fucking bad (why are some of you even watching that shit!!) animes that ever existed goes to Digimon, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and all other animes related to that kind of shit.
The thought of that shit………
I’m sure there’s much worse out there, though.
1. School Days (The game had good elements but the anime purely in layton terms "Sucked")
2. High School of the dead (Love the zombie apocalypse and violence but too much distracting ecchi)
3. Masters of Martial Hearts (Upside: Awesome Kickass girls and Martial arts. Downside: Horrible ending and too much ecchi for my taste.)
;3
-Okami-bozu
It’s only one 20 minute episode but you’ll be amazed at how bad it is when you go through it.
And I gotta say, I love DBZ and I always will. The long drawn out episodes and random hilarious writing. Amazing. xD
Don’t worry I was the same way. At first i was expecting an awesome anime but ofcourse I was wrong. I got too influenced by the School Days Game. ;3
It’s 20 minutes long yet shockingly bad.
It’s so crappy that even 90’s american karate-ninja video b-movies look like Akira Kurosawa’s masterpieces in front of Art of Fighting. No kidding. Everything in this anime sucks: the story, the characters, the voice casting, the animation, the action…at least they could do a decent work with the action and the animation as an anime based on a fighting game. But heeeeeeeeeeell no: they didn’t even tried. Just like with crappy live action adaptions of videogames. It doesn’t even have its cheesy lines to make fun of ("Of course!"). It’s be just so forgetable if it wasn’t for its name.
Generally I’m tolerate with anime OVA/movies based on fighting games but this is one of the few exeptions. If you insist to watch it for the retrospective do it with your own rensponsibility.
Boku no Pico
Well, it’s a @#$%^&* shotacon/yaoi/trap hentai, what did you expected? Only the yaoi/shotacon fangirls and 4chan trolls appreciate it.
Actually I prefer DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh over Inuyasha, they atleast had stories and characters that progressed,& they didn’t stray from the main story too much like Inuyasha. Not to mention Inuyasha tries really hard at being funny but fails.
I’m sure there’s much worse out there, though.
What the Hell??? Rurouni Kenshin???? BAD??????
Naruto I did like it and very much. Inu yasha yes… it still does not recall nothing that will make me see it.
Rurouni Kenshin bad? what the fuck you smoking, injecting, sniffing? I do agree with the rest.
Agree
MD GEIST…. i just do not know why so many people like that. Being directed by teh same as in Genocyber, I was waiting to see something so great or spectacular…. but I really did not like it. I hate the Personality of that supposed to be Main Character…..
Soundtrack on both OVA are great, but the anime itself, sucks.
85% anime out there deserve having the ‘worst’ title.
most of the anime of today sucks like hell and hyper sex-pervert oriented, which annoys me a lot because I want something GOOD enough for me to download or to waste my time seeing it.
Those 3 anime — I only need to watch it with Fast Forward button. Gundam Seed 1 & 2 had potential to be better if they cut off unnecessary love stories, bath scenes, sleeping/bedroom scenes, RECAPS (omg, i cant stand this one heheheh), and sooo many same scenes to illustrate the conversation.
and uh, Shakugan no shana 1 & 2 also on my bad anime list
I will list other title later…
This is hard for me to say, however – as I don’t want or need people getting on my case about it – I’m just into Western fare more now And I really don’t understand ALL the unnecessary hatred toward those who like Western cartoons more than anime. I think it’s just, at its worst, racist,bigoted, and stupid to hate someone just because they like Western fare more than anime!).
Maybe, if more shows were engaging like Gundam 00 is to me, to name an example of the 2% of anime I like…
I only read up to page 12, so I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned Gad Guard yet. Gad Guard…such wasted potential for what could have been at least a GOOD anime: hey, let’s have kids with some alright mecha. Also, let’s give the main character a cool jacket and have a neat setting. Hmm…no, no, not enough senseless drama between the characters. Also, let’s make the main protagonist and antagonist connected, but without a solid reason for it. I can actually see why Katana wants to mess with Hajiki, but not so much vice versa. Anyway, bottom line: started out looking almost like a kids/teenagers show, ended up with some slightly adult themes and incorporated senseless drama with a dumbfuck of an ending.
And also that one Street Fighter movie where Ryu fights Akuma at the end to some lame music and history dialogue. I can’t remember anything between the beginning and the end because there were much more interesting things to pay attention to in my head, but I do remember enough to say that the movie sucked.
If you don’t like DBZ, you’re gonna hate this anime.
Corrector Yui – Annoying and cheap.
InuYasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale – Annoying, boring and disgusting.
Naruto – The animation is not great and I didn’t like the story.
I just felt like a quarter of the dialogue was talking about power levels and building up to fights, half was grunting of some kind, and the last bit was actual plot.

I couldn’t stop laughing. I like DBZ and all but this one got me.
Bleach was decent after saving rukia (up until Bount Arc, the new captain arc, zanpaktou becoming humanoid like arc) were bad.
One Piece I’d rather read the manga for some reason. In anime form it doesn’t appeal to me.
Arad Slap Up Party (An anime based off of one of Nexon Korea’s known games Dungeon N Fighter)
Pokemon (After 2nd season I just lost interest)
El Cazador de la Bruja only thing good about this is its music.
you do know its based on an even more bizarre eroge, right?
Dragon Ball Z. But I’m a chick, so…

you would think an anime where a bunch of muscled men fight shirtless would be appealing to women. huh.
guess they are more into anime where a bunch of gorgeous big boobed girls do stuff in ditzzy ways.
What about this: M.D. FUCKING. GEIST.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Kingdom. Never before have I seen such a "popular" series so chock-full of obnoxious characters, atrocious and inconsistent animation, lazy choreography, and dialogue that emphasizes on yelling possibly more than DB series. I guess that making a Naruto ripoff ("I’m going to become the world’s greatest general!") set in China is bound to gain a rabid following.
It’s a relief I don’t watch this.
Oh and what about MUSASHI GUNDOH?
I think all anime is good in its own way for someone. There is no anime that pleases everyone. Usually harder to follow anime tend to have lots of haters. I dislike most series in fact, because they just repeat the old ones, and the old ones are not perfect either, so they also repeat their mistakes. Game adaptations are usually the worst because they don’t cover the entire game. For instance Star Ocean EX.
Panzer Dragoon OVA
Tsubasa Chronicle OVAs
Just read the mang???, seriosly.
Everything about it rubs me the wrong way, it’s all oversaturated brown and orange, the characters only have two emotions, angry or scared.
Buuut most people seem to hate everything I like so…
