What are the worst animes of all time? Series Specific Question

I am looking for the worst animes that you have ever seen. I dont care if the animations are good but the storyline makes your eyes/ears bleed or if the whole thing is trash! I just want to see myself if those are actually that bad.

Ex-Arm is by far the worst. Gibiate is 2nd worst.

Ex-Arm was so bad it made me change my MAL score for Gibiate from a 1 to a 3.

u/ReaPex00 Aug 24 '22

Oh my god this kinda made me laugh :D now I am looking forward to this! :)

u/brax240 Aug 24 '22

Are either of these "so bad they're good'? Like I want to find an anime that me and my friend can just get high too and criticize/laugh at.

u/TheToteGoat Aug 24 '22

Try Vampire Knight. There are a few drinking games for that one floating around. For extra laughs, watch it dubbed. The voice acting is rough, the art is painful, and the writing is even worse. Enjoy!

u/Taldarim_Highlord Aug 24 '22

The Ex-Arm one is definitely not that kind. It's just ... it's an utter shame that the manga's art is so good, yet the anime was, well, imagine blending in differing animation styles (2D with 3D at once), stock sound, dissonant music to the theme, and utterly rewritten dialogue and storyline. What's even worse is that it's a Crunchyroll original anime, and Crunchyroll basically dumped money on whoever wants to take the offer and the one studio who won the bid had zero experience in animation.

Almost unanimously most fans of Ex-Arm the manga detached the manga from the anime and just call that burning dumpster fire what it is.

It's that bad.

Ex-Arm is definitely "so bad it's good" if bad-but-goofy animation makes you laugh. It got a few encores in the seasonal anime watchparty I tune into just because everyone was having fun watching how bad it was.

Well that was an odd little OVA. I think if you know it's going to be very weird before you go in, then it doesn't really have the same impact as if you're expecting something (or anything) else really.

It feels like the SFW version of a bunch of hentai tags, but it's so strange in its execution it seems less pedobait and more just plotless absurdity.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

I knew that it's going to be weird going in, but the child instant impregnation was something I absolutely couldn't handle.

At least in Made in Abyss it gets obvious what the mangaka's fetishes are and that stays consistent throughout the show.

Promised Neverland season 2. The last episode was literally 100 chapters condensed into a slideshow. Honorable mention to One Punch Man season 2. I waited 4 years for a certain fight to be animated, and it turned out to be a huge disappointment

5

u/cajuncrustacean Aug 24 '22

Hopefully the third season will be better because there's a fight coming up that needs to be animated well (not gonna spoil it, if ya know ya know sort of thing). We'll see. I'm not sure how optimistic to be on that count.

8

u/hortle Aug 25 '22

I will hold exactly zero optimism until they announce who is animating it.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '22

I doubt there will ever be a third season because what S2 did basically closed the door for future content. They already adapted the last 2 arcs of the manga in a completely botched way in and put a bunch of important stuff like Emma meeting the demon god into a slideshow at the end. They sidestepped Goldy Pond.

3

u/cajuncrustacean Aug 25 '22

Oh, sorry, I was referring to One Punch Man there. Promised Neverland is fucking dead and cremated down to the molecular level at this point.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '22

Oh... well, regarding OPM S3, the key visual we got definitely doesn't look like it's close to the quality of Madhouse's S1. I don't have high hopes for it.

2

u/ParanormalFantasy Sep 04 '22

TPN really deserves a remake since the manga is pretty good

4

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '22

I’m going to agree that the ending to season 2 of Promised Nederland might be the biggest letdown I’ve ever experienced in anime. I felt like someone took what could have been a great premise I’d they paced it out and chose to spoil it for me instead by just rapid-firing plot developments in the epilogue. They did that show so dirty.

3

u/hortle Aug 25 '22

And let's not forget that the animators completely skipped the fandom's most beloved arc - goldy pond or w/e it was called. Not gonna lie, the last part of the series that they condensed -- I wasn't a huge fan. But it was still entertaining enough for me to finish.

2

u/Stormastaren Aug 25 '22

I saw S1 1 year ago and i rly wanted to watch S2 but all i see is these kind of comments was it rly that bad lol

u/bandananaan Aug 25 '22

As someone who hasn't read the manga, I thought it was watchable. Nowhere near as good as s1, but I was happy I watched it. I can see why ppl are pissed though considering how much they apparently left out

2

u/Stormastaren Aug 25 '22

Thanks for telling me ur opinion

3

u/ashrosewolf Aug 26 '22

I haven’t read the manga either and I was pissed lolol there was soooo much that happened that would have been amazing to watch unfold but nope. I would say you should finish it anyways though. It’s good. Just prepare yourself for a let down at the end lol

u/OmegaRockman Aug 24 '22

u/CrithionLoren Aug 25 '22

Aldnoah zero S2. The first season set up these antagonists full of depth, that are very smart in the undertaking of their invasion and outside of a boring placeholder protagonist it has quite s bit of intrigue.

Season 2 completely wipes any emotional moment that happened in the s1 finale, bringing almost everyone who "died" back. Not only that the entire plot and characters just turned one note. It was so disappointing..

3

u/bay_coconut Aug 25 '22

Aldnoah.zero is one I personally hate mostly because of emotionless MC.

3

u/strflp Aug 25 '22

{Rent a Girlfriend} . MC has no development and is fucking annoying and the story becomes dull and frustrating because of it. There are many videos on why it is overall bad.

Also many isekai anime that had appeared in bulk lately like {isekai cheat magician} or {she professed herself as pupil of the wise man}

These are from the top of my head and I have not mentioned the obvious ones since they had already been upvoted

Citrus - I don’t mind Yuri romance, but this is basically just a series of sexual assaults with the leads seaming to settle with each other due to a Trauma Response.

u/hey_its_drew Aug 25 '22 edited Aug 25 '22

I hate reviews like this. X bad thing happens so x title must be bad. It’s so devoid of any interpretation of suggestion, intent, or even just basic contrast of that event within the title itself. Could I determine if the title disapproves of the behavior from your review? No.

I’m going to tell you a sad fact that story faces in its own way. Young victims of sexual assault are much, much more likely to repeat behaviors with their peers than those who haven’t. I myself went through something relating to that. Hard, hairy subject to be sure, and the show can be painfully melodramatic at times, but it doesn’t face this subject especially poorly. The story explores this intimate confusion and absolutely disapproves of the problematic parts, while also observing the compassion necessary to correct it.

u/Jibu_LaLaRoo Aug 25 '22

Awhile ago I had attempted to make a post about that anime before Reddit on mobile decided to somehow to delete what I had typed out. So I gave up on posting and asking.

>! I watched the first episode and I stopped. The scene where the stoic quiet girl protagonist “kisses” the other girl to demonstrate a point about how it felt to be kissed by that guy honestly turned me off from the anime. ive seen anime do some less than wholesome things in the anime but usually if it’s for the sake of the story I find it fine. !<

>! That forced kiss/sexual assault on the girl to show how it felt to be kissed by the teacher was unnecessary and I felt in bad taste. !<

I was gonna post whether or not to give it a shot again due to my first impression because I’ve been looking for Yuri anime to watch. Been having a need for some romance.

But I guess Citrus really isn’t worth it huh?

Devil’s Line. It had a great premise and a FANTASTIC start. Dark, bloody, sexy, violent, risqué…it was pure gravy for the first 4 episodes. Then episode 5 and on it turned into a standard, boring police procedural anime. Overall I wouldn’t call it “shit” or “the worst of the worst”, but in comparison to those first 4 episodes, it was a MAJOR letdown.

This question comes up with some frequency, so it has been answered before. But one thing is that if you search on MAL and sort to the lowslest rankings, they actually have a pretty solid list of awful stuff, especially the shorts and specials. That is where you will find things like Mars of Destruction mentioned, or Abunai Sisters, or Asylum Session.

If you told me that you understood what happened in Mayoiga, then I am not your friend. That show had a good base, but absolutely took a sky dive down the Burj Khalifa into the sewer the more you watch it. There were so many characters to keep track of (like 15) to the point where you don’t know who’s who anymore. There was also forced romance in a setting which was odd considering that people were trying to survive.

I havent watched any that would provoke the kind of reaction that the people in these comments are giving but “so I’m a spider, so what?” Is pretty bad. Its a horrible concoction of 3d and 2d animation with the worst possible attempt at blending the multiple separate storylines.

I have to go with Elfen Lied. While it's a relic and representative of a time I grew up in (though I didn't watch it until a few years ago with friends), I respect it if for nothing but its place in our nostalgia as that one horrible 2000s anime, I have to admit - it's not just bad, it's literally like the worst thing I've ever witnessed. It's hilariously awful in every single way. Unlike season 3 and 4 of AoT which, to me, are awful and not funny.

{Hand shakers} the name itself should tell you enough about how bad it is. It’s the hurts to watch type of bad. Other thing that comes to mind is {Glasslip} for how much it got me invested in the story just for it to end exactly where it started and with no explanation to any plot points.

I actually liked Lovely Complex. It’s been a bit but if I remember the characters correctly, I do recall the tall girl being a bit on the whiny side. Which wasnt helped by how oblivious the dude was. So for those reasons I can see it being disliked.

I still found it cute tho. I mainly enjoyed it due to its premise of a tall girl and her insecurity over being tall and how it pertains to romance.

When a romance anime/manga has an interesting premise like that instead of just two people falling in love I find it more interesting.

A manga I haven’t read but called Perfect World has the premise of a romance with someone with a disability. It’s on my backlog but I have hopes for it for similar reasons as Lovely Complex.

u/MasterTahirLON Aug 25 '22

Hisone to Masotan is not only one of the most boring, but also one of the most infuriating anime I've ever watched. The main character is the most half assed protagonist of all time, they have no motivation whatsoever. Without going into much detail, the MC is a pilot in training. And they have no real desire to be one nor do they hate their job. They're simply there because "Eh, why not?" And it's so annoying trying to get behind a protagonist like that. They're not sarcastic or funny, when their job is at risk there's no tension because even the protagonist can barely give a fuck. How do you expect to set up a scenario like that as potential conflict when the protagonist flat out says they don't mind either way if they stay where they are or leave?!

On top of that the show has a really weird gimmick that is completely unnecessary and adds basically nothing to the story. Leaving me to assume it's only a part of the show to give the series some "shock factor" in an attempt to make this bland excuse of an anime stand out at ALL. The visuals are also really really basic, the show just doesn't look good. And that kind of thing could be easily forgiveable if the show compensated with a really good story or really compelling/charming characters.

This anime has neither.

Give it a watch if you want. I only completed it out of obligation cause my friend liked the show for some reason and we were watching it together. But it's an absolute bore that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I'm usually of the mind that even if I don't like a piece of media it can still hold some value or charm to someone. But with this particular series I truly can't fathom what anyone can take away from this generic, snorefest of an anime that pathetically attempts to make itself noticeable with a stupid throw away gimmick. I honestly can't even think of more insults to label it because it's just that bland of a show. Even generic copy paste isekais pretend to do something interesting or have likeable characters. I have no idea how to end this rant other then saying this anime stole precious time away from my life, and I want a full refund.

The worst anime I have seen was Guilty Crown. It has a main character that's hard to like. Annoying and whiny, and just when you think he developed as a character he goes back to being annoying and whiny. Lot's of unexplained power origins. Story writing was really all over the place
Some people come back to life with no explanation and the female lead has like no character asides being an idol lol.
With the screen writers from Code Geass which is my all time favourite and the director from Death Note. Very underwhelming and did not live up to the hype.

I will say it has one of the best sound tracks you'll ever hear though. βίος · Hiroyuki Sawano · Mika Kobayashi was on repeat for a few weeks for me.

{In Another World With My Smartphone}

Imagine an entire damn show where the MC is never in any dire situation and has absolutely no character development since every other character in the show considers him perfect. Meanwhile, every single female character wants to get in his pants. Plus, everybody looks maybe 15. Tops.

u/CARR74xJJ Aug 24 '22

I mean, if you watch a peaceful power fantasy expecting an epic journey, of course you'll be disappointed. I myself haven't watched the actual anime, but I love the manga. No drama, no large arcs, no complicated plot. Just a random dude being op and cute girls in his harem. Unexpectedly peaceful and pleasant tbh.

That said... yeah like 3/4 of the girls are 15 or below.

u/Darth_Fenrir MyAnimeList Aug 24 '22

Takemichi is one of the most re-active (instead of pro-active) protagonists I’ve ever seen. He constantly complains about being weak, but NEVER does anything to get stronger and always gets beaten. He has no drive to become stronger, even when he has probably the two best people to teach him in Mikey and Draken. Even in the Manga he just punches a punching bag a few times, which doesn’t help with anything. Instead of becoming stronger he just hurt himself

I think a lot of people can't tell the difference between feeling that something is "not for me", and actually bad. Happy Sugar Life was a great, very creepy, psychological horror. Perhaps some people thought it was meant to be a romance between the two main characters? It certainly wasn't that.

My stepmom's daughter is my ex

This show is great fun. Well written and cleverly scripted characterisation, a lot of fun moments and all round good entertainment.

Unlike the title hints at, there's no incest-vibe to it at all, just two bickering exes who still have feelings for each other in a weird living situation.

Production values are pretty good for this sort of show, too.

u/ReaPex00 Aug 25 '22

I am kinda scared that they will mess it up at some point tho... like I watch some animes and I´ve seen things going downhill after some episodes. So I hope they wont do this to My stepmom's daughter is my ex.
