Saint Seiya just doesn't seem like the kind of anime I would ever enjoy watching--subtitled, uncut or otherwise. No offense meant. |

Dear god someone get this forum a spellchecker...
Worst anime EVER: Samurai Showdown OAV. The DVD was dub only, but you can tell it was bad from it's very conception as it reminds you that sometimes dubs don't make an anime suck, SUCKING makes an anime suck. The characters could have been speaking in tongues and it would have been better, with the highlight being the ninja Hanzo's voice actor ripping off Scorpion from Mortal Combat! This of course is only the first thing to assault the delicate entertainment section of your brainmeats... the story is, well, it's bad. Let's leave it at that since I can't remember what it was about. But it sucked, hard. Utterly wretched, and the fact that no one else mentioned it just means no one else here had actually seen it (or their mind has blocked out the trauma). I've also heard Gundress is pretty bad, but I've avoided it myself. Fansubbed: Weiss Krauz is teeth-grindingly bad, and Psychic Academy was the worst thing on Animesuki I've sat through to the end (though I still think the red haired girl was incredibaly hot and deserves her own series). Bad Dubs: the dub version of Lost Universe makes me want to kill. Simple as that. As for Dragonball Z: I've seen the uncut DBZ, and after being used to the US version I thought the Japanese music and voices stunk. I prefer the cheesy thrash metal and less annoying voices of the US dub. I think the best way to watch is just kick back, pop open a cold BEvERage and enjoy some crazy guys endlessly pounding the snot out of each other (in between extended scenes of them screaming at the top of their lungs and breathing hard). It's a lot of fun if you just let it be, though I can't imagine anyone insisting on watching it with subtitles... uncut, yeah, you'd want to see that, but bothering to keep the "authentic Japanese flavour" isn't worth the effort to me. The US voices are fine, and it's not like the acting is going to be subtle and nuanced, ne? The original Dragon Ball is very cool though, and if you haven't seen it don't ever let the later series give you wrong idea about it. Gah.. I hate to think of Bulma and little Chi Chi as old women  ...see, I only say that because half the people on this thread can't spell.

Chrno Crusade.
Don't ask me why; I'm just not a fan of an annoying female main character like Rosette, a short chibi demon (who's supposed to be the main protagonist in my mind), and the ordinary storyline - kinda like reminds you of Charmed. |

I would like try to refrain from using the title "P*K*M*N ", i don't even want this one to be associated with anime at all, i will deny its existence and i shall try to destroy,annihilate,wipe-out,tear-apart,eradicate and well...generally make fun of it whenever i get the chance to^^
Shortly followed by Grappler Baki and all of its unholy successors or incarnations. I can't think of a single good thing about this show and, in a way, i would like to give my thanks to it for destroying the illusion that i could find something good in anything  Should i mention Beyblade? A show about spinning tops and friendship and challenge and zzzzzzz...... You don't have to be ignorant to feel mentally insulted by this one. Maybe i should add Final Fantasy Unlimited. While i don't detest it, it's funny how i didn't have ANY expectations for this show but all of them were horribly massacred nonetheless. It's not easy to defile something non-existant...this show did it. Sometimes i like to think back, reflecting on how it is possible that every single bit of potential can be screwed up like that.....but then again, not a single piece of work can be bad enough for the sake of a quick buck,eh? |

-All "anime" ending in "mon" for obvious and already stated above reasons . Thank god for the newgrounds games about shooting the little f**kers .
-Kimera had a pointless ending and storyline . -The DUBBED version of Rouroni Kenshin . The sub is great , and I was happy when I heard the anime was going to be shown on TV only to find the most horrible dub ever to be released . It doesn't even feel like you are watching the same series ! And the squeaky and cheerful attitude was obviously added in so the anime could passed as a kids show while masking the true meaning of the series ... -DBZ could be great if it was ( as said above about 5 times ) shortened to about 20 episodes . The crap it is now however ... I recall an episode I saw about goku and that pink loser were goku simply did that screaming powerup thing they do for 17 minutes... holy crap DBZ just sucks . -Amazing Nurse Nanako . I heard it was ok and I found it on Kazaa and thought " what the heck " ... only to find out the entire series might as well been a showcase of nanakos breasts as its obvious thats all the artist were thinking about . Frisbee ! oh wait I never burned it just simply deleted it  -Blood , the last vampire ... This anime was actually amazing ... until about 40 minutes into it ... it just ... ends . No plot closure . No development . It just ends in the middle of the story without going into detail . It would be as if the movie was torn in two and the second half was just forgotten . You will find yourself watching blood with the following thought process . 10 minutes into film - Dang , this is some sweet animation ! 20 minutes into film - pretty sweet . 30 minutes into film - OMFG this is f**kin awesome !!! 40 mintues into film - D**n this is really warming up to be a sweet anime *credits start to randomly roll* WTF ?!?!!??!!?    lol long post

a lot of these series people are mentioning over and over again (dbz, pokemon, sailor moon, final fantasy, gundam seed) I have just steered away from (and I am glad I have), and since I have not really "seen" these series, can't rate them.
But my own all time favorite series to use as frisbees: 1) Flame of Recca 2) Get Backers Last edited by choowee; 2004-04-11 at 01:54. Reason: misspelling |

Now as for crappy anime, I would have to say it is anything that ends with "mon" that type just drives me up the wall. Other than that I didn't like Avenger, Spiral, or Serial Lain. Beserk and Evangelion were great up until the endings. And Excel Saga, I mean it was hilarous for the first few episodes, but it got repetitive fast and had no real story whatsoever, until the last few episodes but by then it was too late. |
