Well, hello there, to think that people like you still exist... So happy
You got my respect sir.

You're probably a teenager trying to pass off as smart considering your enjoyment of exploitative garbage such as Code Geass or Higurashi... but tell me, how are Gurren-Lagann or One Piece(manga) even close to being bad?

UTTER BLASPHEMY.

There are others there I disagree with as well, but that is unacceptable.

I would have to add B-daman, it's a "toy" anime best suited for 10 year olds.

Heck, I hear all the time how good Naruto is but personally I can't stand the show.

I agree with what you said, people should respect other's opinions.

The thing is, this isn't a "what anime don't you like?" thread. It's a "what anime do you find so absolutely vile that you should use the dvds they came on as frisbees?" thread. When you post an anime in here the implication is you think it's one of the worst ever made. Thus, fans get a bit more defensive about their favorite series than they would if the thread was titled differently.

The simple fact is, 99.9% of the anime listed in this thread don't really suck. Some of them just suffer from being average. Others from being a genre the person posting just doesn't like. Neither really makes them bad.

Zero no Tsukaima and Shounen, I can at least see why judging by your preference for more mature shows like you stated, but why these? Lucky Star and Gurren Lagann don't even take themselves seriously most of the time, just enjoy the show for what it is, instead of expecting depth and maturity. I don't understand why Air and Kanon are under "worst animes" at all. You may not like bittersweet dramas, but at least the execution is brilliant enough to not be named "worst" no matter how unpalatable you find the content.

Your reasoning?

Quoted for truth.

It's bad because it's targeted at a younger audience? :P

So... Play School is a horrible, immature piece of programming?

LOL, I didn't know it was so easy to piss off people in this thread. Why did you all jump at Vash002? Sure, the titles he/she mentioned are more fir for an "overrated anime" thread but for the life of me I can't fathom why anyone should be bothered that some random guy doesn't like the same things as the majority of people on AS. That said, I am curious whether Vash002 will bother to state his reasons for branding all these series as the worst.

You're probably a teenager trying to pass off as smart considering your enjoyment of exploitative garbage such as Code Geass or Higurashi...

Yes, we all know that having taste for "mature" anime is a real benchmark for coolness and being smart and that's why everyone pretends liking whatever is considered "deep". Or not? Plus, Code Geass and Higurashi are just a bit less mainstream than Naruto, it's not as if they are unknown gems that snobs can boast with.

You may not like bittersweet dramas, but at least the execution is brilliant enough to not be named "worst" no matter how unpalatable you find the content.

What if it is so unpalatable that one has to stop watching before the third episode (as it happened to me with Kanon)? And I love bittersweet dramas, mind you.

I have to admit not liking Kanon in the beginning, even though I like bittersweet series, just like you. However, even if you hated it that much and dropped it there (your loss IMHO), you have to admit the amazing animation saves it from "worst", which is why I would like to hear his reasons. All the series I highlighted were extremely visually impressive, if nothing else.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

I can't believe it. The anime club at my school voted for anime to keep/throw out/vote in, and these were the results:

Kept:
Persona ~trinity soul~
Heroic Age

Voted in:
Denno Coil
>And some weird show whose name i don't remember but it's about a doctor and she has x-ray vision.
> Another weird medical show where this guy can see microbes with the naked eye...

Voted out/failed to get voted in:
Hayate no Gotoku! - booted
Claymore - failed to get in

I mean, OMFG WHY!?!?!?? Heroic Age I would rather use as a drink coaster while I watch Claymore than to suffer through one more horrible episode. I mean, it's such a huge piece of crap. That princess...Deidaneira or whatever? One line, and that was "Age..." I mean, I bet for the entire series she probably only spent about an hour in the recording booth and they just used the same recording over and over again.

Persona is just plain shitty. I saw the first two episodes, closed my eyes and thought to myself, "please, a gun so I can shoot myself..... trace...on!"

Denno Coil is so-so, since it didn't seem to have much substance to it.

About that weird microbe one (whose name I don't remember), I swear it was made on an acid trip. But not in a fun "Katamari Damacy" way, but rather a "playing in traffic" way. It was that painful. And worse yet, the anime ACTUALLY TAKES ITSELF SERIOUSLY.

My biggest problem is, how did Claymore NOT get in? It missed by ONE VOTE (2/3 vote was needed). I mean, it's probably the best anime out there that hasn't been liscensed yet. I swear, the club members have no taste in anime whatsoever. ABSOLUTELY NONE.

[Matrim]

Well, I don't disagree with that but amazing visuals doesn't mean the series cannot subjectively be one of the worst ever for certain viewers. If Mai Otome had phenomenal artwork, I'd still consider it one of the worst series I have ever watched. For me the art is just means to a goal, if the story and characters are pathetic, no art can keep me from dropping a series.

Denno Coil is so-so, since it didn't seem to have much substance to it.

It has way more substance (and imagination) than Claymore, though.

[tbl]

The only series has really made me go, "omg, this is just crap" that than "it's kinda boring/don't like where this is going/the story isn't for me" is Dragonaut, and it was really promising before it introduced the dragon transformations.

Agreed. I think that's why I didn't get into Mai Otome very well. I did like Mai Hime though.
I'm sort of the type that will download a few episodes, and if by the time i finish those I don't feel anything, I stop. There haven't been many show's i've dropped because I didn't like them though. Some I was pretty iffy on watching, then after I started watching it I became hooked.
One of those shows would be Shakugan no Shana. I'm not sure why, but at first i was kinda iffy till i watched it. Luckily it had a great first episode and now i'm hooked.

Bokurano I didn't really get hooked to. I'm not sure why. Maybe if I went back to watch it might, but after watching the first 4ish episodes i still wasn't really hooked. It was interesting though.

Haven't we repeated this at least 100 times over the course of this thread and yet people still fail to grasp it?

Think about what you just said.

It was virtually -

"All the club members have bad taste, and I have good taste."

While it's understandable that you're upset because a show you liked wasn't voted in, it's unfair to disparage the tastes of the other members. You should talk it through with them if you have something to say.

[Ryougi Shiki]

... extremely mediocre series, I'd nominate GetBackers and the second season of ZnT. S2 would have been horrible if not for the boat scene and some other stuff, which redeemed it a bit in my eyes.

[marth1244]

I would have to say He-man and the thundercats


Although i did love that theme song it was kinda catchy

That was not what I was saying. Way to throw in an absolute where it doesn't apply. I do think about what I'm saying when I type. And DO NOT put words in my mouth. It waters down any argument you make.

They kept ALL the shows I didn't like and voted out the ones I like the most. And Heroic Age, Persona, and the other two weird medical anime (EDIT: Moyashimon and Ray the Animation) were absolutely terrible... as in shows that should never have existed in the first place. At least Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was there to make up for it (kinda). (In my opinion that show kinda tends to be hit-and-miss; some episodes were brilliant where others were terrible.)

And for the record, I really don't like a few people that attend the anime club, because they tend to act like pompous jerks. Especially when they've only seen like a dozen anime or so and think they know everything. I've seen well over 120 series and movies and I'm still an anime noob...

Oh, to add to the list, D.Gray-man was voted out. I don't know why.

It's too bad they can't show liscensed anime (due to membership fees). They miss a lot or good shows that way.

I dislike pretty much all "toy" oriented animes like Crush Gear, B-daman, Beyblade etc.. not because they are aimed at younger audiences.

But because they are the kinds of animes that makes people think animes are only for kids.

Agreed. it's those toy/card oriented shows that make people who don't know much about anime think it's for kids, because the commercials for said anime's toys/cards are all over the place.

I for one, am glad my mom is japanese. not only did she get me into anime, she watches some shows with me
we finished watching Minami-ke today, her response "eh? that's the end? How strange" lol
She also finds Kaibutsu Oujo to be weird, but she sat through an entire episode.
I wonder if she'd like zetsubou....
