Worst animes that deserve to be used as frisbees

Those shows are great as long as you don't take them seriously. I mean c'mon, playing a card game to save the world is hilarious.

That's because it looks like most people haven't watched such "gems" like Lime-iro Ryuukitan X Cross, Musashi Gundoh or Cosprayers, so they just have to settle for shows that they don't like.


Nitpick:

"Mediocre" isn't synonymous with "awful". It means "of average tending towards poor quality", so writing "extremely mediocre" is the same as writing "very average".

But the thing is, I haven't actually seen any awful shows. I have a sixth sense that keeps me away from them, so I haven't seen them.

However, Musashi Gundoh is so horrible that it is fucking awesome and hilarious. I only watched it because /a/ told me to, and I wasn't disappointed.

Oh well. The worst anime out of the ones I've seen aren't actually that bad.


...

Actually, you know what? Amaenaideyo was the worst out of the ones I've seen. I didn't hate it, but that's because I'm a guy and I jack off easily, especially with the last episode, 13.

Also, some of the episodes were actually likable.

What made it the worst was the constant feeling that I was being manipulated, and the specter of Ken Akamatsu must have taken over this guy in droves, because the shitty "oh you walked into me/groped me/saw me naked here I'll beat you to death" cliche really rubbed me the wrong way. Not to mention there was absolutely nothing behind all of the fanservice except a plot that can be summarized into a single sentence.

I was a sucker for Episode 13 though. Actual visible nipples AND he gets away with seeing every damn girl in the house sleeping naked and/or sleepwalking naked without a beating.

But when that's the high point of a series, it's safe to say it's pretty bad.

I avoided them because everyone said they were awful.

I'm an odd one though. I usually end up liking series that people hate. Two of the best examples would be Mouse and Rizelmine. Why? I found Mouse hilarious and Rizelmine just plain cute. Incredibly wrong but cute and very funny at times!

The problem is that they take themselves seriously. Frankly, I'd rather watch the abridged versions because they are actually funny.

Kaze no Stigma was another one I couldn't get into. Not saying its bad (I only watched the first few episodes) but meh. I may try to watch it again but I haven't really heard anyone sound off about it so it may not be worth it.

As for FMA, le SIGH. FMA was the first real anime I watched. Before that I thought of all anime as being on the same level as DBZ or Pokemon or whatever. My friend said "You have to watch FMA!" so I did and I loved it. I still love it. But, looking at it now that I have watched several really really superb series, I have to admit it isn't all that great. I don't think its horrid but there's definitely better stuff out there.

THANK YOU. This was EXACTLY what I wanted to say. I don't dislike FMA, but it was THE drama/action series of its time, and that is why it has to many fans. Also, many people who watched FMA might have grown out of anime, so they haven't watched the newer superb series. This is why I think FMA is so popular. Case and point: DBZ. People I talk to now said they love anime because they loved DBZ. Well, they also said that they haven't watched any other anime since then, so I think that FMA suffers a similar problem, but not exactly the same.

EDIT: Thank you for the person who gave me the bad reputation. I just wanted to point out again that I don't hate FMA and apparently my opinion and analysis on the matter pissed someone off. Don't worry though, that won't discourage me from speaking out my mind in the future. I'm not sure what you meant by "I still love FMA," since I just made an argument about why it's popular...?

[Reckoner]

I'm sorry FMA is just like DBZ, something overpopurlized because most people can't realize there are a ton of far better anime out there. I personally believe FMA sucks, it tries to take itself too seriously at times and makes me lol.

That's a very good point.
I think that's the common problem with most animes that have become mainstream. Some people assume that anime is just Bleach or anime is just Naruto. Like on another anime forum someone said I can't call myself an anime watcher if I'm not a Naruto fan - /sweatdrop

Though I have to state my opinion that FMA isn't as bad as DBZ:

1. FMA didn't stretch to 200+ episodes.
2. FMA does not have a paper thin plot.

My opinion might sound biased to favor FMA since I'm a FMA fan.
However, I do agree that since FMA has been created some time ago, there are quite a lot of animes (I could name more than a dozen) right now that have a better plot/storyline.

Yup, this is all quite true. I don't think you're biased at all, but right on the money. FMA is similar to DBZ but not near as bad, and I'm glad so many people actually shared my view on this. I thought I would be alone. Once again I don't hate FMA; I actually gave it a good rating. However, if there's any anime that's overrated it's this one. I made the mistake of watching something else I considered a masterpiece before FMA, so maybe that's why I'm being so critical about FMA. My review of that anime in short is that it has a decent plot, extremely addictive adventures, some inconsistencies, and an unresolved ending (personal opinion, please don't attack). But why are we discussing about this anyways? One thing I will say with confidence is that under no circumstances should FMA be mentioned in this thread as a frisbee (I still don't know what that means).

Also, plot and enjoyment doesn't have to be directly correlated. Some anime has very very good plots but I was pretty much in confusion for most of it, and only realized how good it is at the very end. FMA just kept me watching even though its plot might not be as good. At the end of the day it's not a life impact on me, but it's something I watched, enjoyed, and don't regret seeing.

The series itself is very average, but Kazuma is just so freaking awesome and Kazuma x Ayano is hilarious.

[EXEs]

I like FMA well enough, but I myself didn't really consider it a "masterpiece". The plot was very interesting, certainly, and the characters are likeable. The music wasn't too good within, the ending, I liked it, but then the movie spoilt it for me. But it is definitely not a bad anime, hell, I would recommend it to anyone to watch, whether they be newcomer or veteran. Now back to the subject plz.

Yeah. Kaze no Stigma was a pretty average one. It's a good show though, and Kazuma x Ayano is freakin hilarious (even more so because my sister's middle name is Ayano, my middle name is Kazuhiko (or Kazu) and she argues with me for no reason, yelling and hitting me at the slightest of things.

I liked FMA for the most part. I watched it up to episode 26, but it was licensed shortly after and i couldn't watch it. When it came on TV though, the dub made me cringe and i was always at work when it aired so i just dropped it. I wouldn't mind watching it, but i have way too many shows to watch as it is
my list in my sig, is only of shows currently airing. I'm actually watching about 15 different shows or so....lemme count real quick
zetsubou
shana
ghost hound
persona
spice and wolf
rosario+vampire
true tears
kaiji
clannad
minami-ke okawari
mahoraba
girls bravo
yakitake japan
amaenaideyo
Nighthead Genesis
myself; yourself
bleach

17 shows.....and a few of them i actually have to watch from the beginning (like yakitake japan, clannad, mahoraba, amaenaideyo, nighthead genesis, myself; yourself, kaiji) I haven't started them because I just finished watching Kaibutsu Oujo earlier today T_T

this season is going to be rough on me. I picked up too many shows to watch.

but hopefully it won't be a bad thing. It just means i have more stuff to watch while i wait for new stuff to come out.


Bleach is kinda turning into one of those shows that will never end, but i watch it just to kill time, and it's somewhat interesting. Naruto just dragged on to long for me to keep up with though. I watched up to like, 167 or 171 and after that decided that I didn't really like it anymore.

Oh dear...I just added Shigofumi to my list. well, that makes 18 shows now....pity my harddrive, for it is weeping.

^^ Oh how could you like not Bleach!?!??! Woah....*is blown away by that*

I didn't like it either! FMA SUCKS!


For me would be

Technolyze...can you say anime on acid
Aqaurian Age....Still trying to figure out wtf that was about

[GreatTeacherKen]

There were two other anime that I forgot to mention earlier.

You're Under Arrest: No Mercy: The concept of Natsumi and Miyuki going to America could've made for an interesting change of pace, and perhaps some new quirky characters, but unfortunately that wasn't what I got.

For one thing the supporting characters look exactly the same as the 2nd season supporting cast except for hair and skin color, which I find to be incredibly lazy on the character designer's part, especially since the supporting characters act differently from the regular cast.

Their personalities aren't very interesting either; they're pretty much caricatures of American stereotypes which aren't very funny.

Green Green OVA: I also disliked the TV series, but I didn't dislike it as much the OVA. and I'm talking about the one shot OVA which reverses the premise of the TV series. The animation was pretty bad, and it was generally unfunny.

[Aoi v1]

hm... the worst anime i've seen: Cosplay Complex, it was just, not worth of watching >_>

also, i didn't like "he's my master", maid fans are going to kill me but an underage boy who lves in a mansion with 3 underage girls as his maids and is even more perverted than roshi sensei, is just not my style of anime ^-^ that's a maid fns must watch i think :P

[Flame-X]

Gundam SEED Destiny
Narutard
Inuyasha

[Chiibi]

OH. I know a definite frisbee! Love Love. That was the worst harem I've ever seen. Sure as heck not love at all. A guy running into many girls (some looking as young as EIGHT) and accidentally seeing their panties because they tripped or he tripped. THAT'S ALL IT WAS. This show had nothing going for it. No good characters, animation, music, artwork, plot. ZILCH. Yet for some reason, my friend likes it. And weirder still, this friend is a yaoi fangirl.
