So we've talked about our fave anime, our first anime, emotional anime etc but how about the anime that all should avoid? Top wo Nerae 2 Diebuster started off being really interesting and then took a huge dive off a very steep cliff with 3 tons of lead weights tied around its ankles towards the end. The OP is brilliant, animation was good throughout and Nono is such a cutie - only to be raeped by the producers towards the end. Diebuster OP below. Macross Zero was another one that started off with high hopes and then took the same leap off the same cliff with the same lead weights around its ankles. Truly disappointing considering how good the first few episodes were. Brilliant CG work. What are the worst anime shows you've seen? Die buster image from some place.

Well, for me I think black cat was a really good anime It was very exciting at 1st then when its nearing the end, it suddenly turn into a very ugly production value.... Black Cat fans will know what im talking about... YES.... the ending... one of the worst ending I've seen in my life

(ID #280850) Posted on 2008/08/28 00:50
I think it lost it's edge as soon as they started putting letters at the end. The original Dragon Ball was good, but the rest just turned into humdrum homoerotic rubbish. Seriously, how many episodes does it take to power up? it's worse than Bleach in that respect.
(ID #281106) Posted on 2008/08/28 04:41
Well, considering bleach came out WAY later and can look at the mistakes that DBZ did, it learns from those mistakes and goes another route instead of "charging for 5 episodes" sequences.

This continuation stuff is EXACTLY what so many fans want out of their favorite anime. But its also EXACTLY what ruins the whole series for everyone else. Even if you didn't like Gundam SEED in the first place, I'm pretty sure you could think up of at least one other series that suffered over-extension. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone's hopes of a good second season (for whatever anime they liked) got smashed, because it's just what they asked for. Well, yes, there will always be those few exceptions here and there, but I think you got my point. *anger starts settling*

Although it had many faults, I don't consider SEED Destiny even the worst Gundam series (my answer to that is down below). The only parts that really annoyed me were brining Mwu back, destroying Cagalli's character, and Shinn (there's a difference between hotblooded and annoying screams and Shinn totally fulfills the latter). Everything else I generally liked. The MS Designs were awesome (I loved all the UC-inspired designs), we got double the Lacus (oh how I love her), and one of the most memorable Gundam battles to date, even if I hated the outcome (Impulse vs. Freedom).

Loved Gantz, it has deep meaning for me. Now if I can just have the courage to finish it... I cried so hard half way through if you know what I mean... :( Chobits is another one that you really must think about; it's a beautiful fairy tail story about a doll that comes to life. It's based on a rather famous opera. I liked Chobits, because it displays love without sexual nature, which is why they keep bringing up the fact that hideki is the only virgin there. Not many shows will have that sort of romantic theme, because people typically go for the "end result" from relationships.
(ID #280611) Posted on 2008/08/27 22:05

(ID #280743) Posted on 2008/08/27 23:25
Re: Gantz - Yep, i guess you're talking about the single decent ep in there =D But i've heard from quite a lot of people that it's great.. Different tastes and all. Also, i don't see the 'no sex' in Chobits. Chii is a vapid droid with a button in her crotch that "turns her on". Real classy. I like where the series is supposed to go, almost GITS-like 'how will we live when the computers play an even larger part' from a romantic point of view, but i thought the series itself was just painfully awful.
(ID #280755) Posted on 2008/08/27 23:32

The button also resets her, essentially killing her persona. Which, is obviously what Hideki would never want to do. :P It's more like a pinoccio story where a doll aquires a soul, you need to watch it like that.

What did you expect them to end it on? Hideki being sad and heart broken? Actually, that would make a better fairy tale, but still I think it ended right. It's like she was the key to living in harmony--which I agree doesn't make sense on account that they weren't really oppressed or anything to begin with.

I did expect a good ending but i thought it was quite rushed and done in a cheap way.They should have cut some of the less important episodes and the epsiode where they were reapturing everything (there didnt happen much after all) and used that free space to make a better developed ending. I was completely dyssatisfied with the way they pulled it of in the last 2 (or was it 3?) episodes.I think it would have been alot better if they would have sacrificed some more episodes for the ending I heard that the manga is supposed to be better tough
(ID #280678) Posted on 2008/08/27 22:41
Yes, the manga ending is much better. Then again, in the anime, they condense ALL of volume 7 into ONE episode, which made me cringe, and there is a little caveat to the happy ending in the manga version. Seriously, give the manga version a try. Less filler, and more philosophy.

Can't argue with you, I personally think the Saw movies are utter trash, but some people seem to think it has a deeper moral about what life is really worth. I saw new ways to kill people painfully. :/ Now Gantz, these people are thrown into a situation where they have no choice but to fight for their lives, and they react like they're human and there is no hero. I liked the agony they went through as they tried to live their lives, it was very realistic in that respect. What I don't like about Gantz is the fact that violence seems to be over done, and the "how far will you go to survive" aspect is put on the back burner for exploding heads. O.o Each character is guilty of a sin, and their specific sin is their weakness/strength which affects them in the game. It's more of a self reflective anime/manga that causes you to question or become disgusted with yourself.
(ID #281331) Posted on 2008/08/28 10:03
I think gantz belong in the manga vs anime, not worst anime. I think the plot itself is original and twisted, what I do think is that the anime coulden't reach the expectations to the manga fans.

...Don't know about your tastes, but I had to force myself to finish both of them.

Rurouni Kenshin...one of my favorite manga, and yet the anime producers got greedy and decided to make their own crappy ending arc rather than wait for Watsuki to finish the manga's "Revenge" arc.... >.< ...art took a nose-dive with the final anime arc, too...
(ID #280553) Posted on 2008/08/27 21:20
I can't agree more though I think they were just doing fillers( like many shounen series do) to wait for the manga to at least finish up a good enough amount. But I think its ratings went down so much, the producers couldnt take it anymore and just cut it like that. Pity, the Kyoto Arc was so enjoyable.....
(ID #280722) Posted on 2008/08/27 23:08

R2 wasn't as bad; not counting the insane mechanical power-ups this time, the storyline execution and plot actually follows the original R1 formula rather than GSD. It did slant towards that dreaded path from the Chinese Federation arc till the appearance of the Geass Canceler though...

Why R2? I really like all the effed up plotwists and that. It makes it interesting, that and the fact that I pity Lelouch. Like a lot. Besides comparing GSD and Code Geass are on two TOTALLY different levels. It's just that one was executed better than the other

Has nobody said Pokemon? O.o Ok, pokemon is still entertaining to me, so I can't say that. What was that anime that was basically ripping on the YuGiOh trend, but the kids all used tops that had weird holographic powers? Yeah, I remember watching that one for a few scattered episodes and thinking "what the hell?" I understand that it might be kinda cool to rip two tops next to each other in a bowl and watch one get knocked down, but to glorify it the way it did was a step beyond a life or death children's card game... I really can't think of any anime that I watched through and determined horrible at the moment, I should come back and comment after I get home from training tonight...

Ahahahah I can't believe you spoiled it. As a mech hater, I was reluctant to watch TTGL. I only watched it because Youko looked absolutely fantastic. And the first three episodes where awesome - Youko especially so. I was in love. Suddenly, episode 4. Possibly the worst episode in the series. I was left with the feeling that they'd spent all their money on episodes one to three, and the rest of the twenty-something episodes were desert walking filler. Youko had lost that completely unnatural lustre you can only see in anime. Series dropped. Months later, when there was a lul in series I liked, I picked it up again after a few recommendations. Absolutely loved it. And Youko was still fantastic. I didn't think she could get any better, and she did. >>tl;dr youko is awesome and i would have her babies

Alrighty, time to post mine... First of all, I really like alot of Anime that cover a diverse range of themes. But this is not the time to say what I like. Series which I couldn't finish... Azumanga Diaoh - Just way too slow and a most of the jokes failed to incite any laughs form me. Lucky Star, though similar to this, was WAY WAY different and exceedingly enjoyable. Hidamari Sketch - The chibi style was getting to me. Nanoha StrikerS - Nanoha was good, A's was fantastically awesome and in my top 5 list. StrikerS was a disaster. Too many characters that I did not care about, very few character development, Nanoha, Fate and most of the characters we know and love seemed to have changed too much and have faded into th background... and actually, that's about it so far...

(ID #280790) Posted on 2008/08/27 23:51
I enjoy all Nanoha series but I can see why you don't like StrikerS. In StrikerS, the focus is more on the new characters.
(ID #280860) Posted on 2008/08/28 00:55
Geh...StrikerS...tell me about it. That show was mediocre at best....they didn't even start blowing stuff up until like episode 16! The only reason I watched that show was because of Fate, out of whom they sucked every last bit of personality....will say that she looks pretty good as a 19-year old though :p

I agree on StrikerS. I loved the first two series, but there was something about the third that made me not care.
(ID #281898) Posted on 2008/08/28 17:26
I didn't think StrikerS was all that bad. It probably fade in comparision to A's and too many new characters introduced. The ending was decent enough except for the lack of action from Hayate which was a real disappointment.
(ID #282155) Posted on 2008/08/28 23:34

Wow, a whole lot of people here that I don't agree with, on many levels. Ah well, to each his own. I haven't finished watching it yet, but Shinkon Gattai Godannar is VERY boring. Also, High School Girls, even though I like fan-service and all, it doesn't even have enough to entertain, much less anything you could remotely call a "good" plot. I gave Naruto a chance a while back, and it disappointed, so I could say that I don't like it, even though I really haven't watched much of it.

Too bad about Gunbuster 2; just burned the dvds yesterday. Oh well, it can't be nearly as bad as Soul Hunter: 26 eps of pure misery. At the beginning you think 'ok, nice premise', but as it drags on and nothing happens, it gets really old really fast. Not helping are the lame pokemon-ish creatures that make some appearances, degrading animation and $#^$& ending. The only anime in my collection to score lower than a 6. Nuff said

FIYAH!!! XD I feel this one strays a little from the seriousness of the original, but maintains the direct sequel-ness by impressing the fact that art is so very important in culture, and that songs have powerful communicative effect. It'd probably help to know a passionate musician when you watch this one. Plus, you get music by the awesome Yoshiki Fukuama. If he doesn't pump your spirit up, then you need to get up and sing. XD

The Air movie, purely because it does the series no justice. It misses lots of awesome parts (I understand they obviously can't get the whole series into an hour 30 minutes) but over that it changes the ending and some of the best characters don't even get a mention.

I think the genre types I dislike the most is mainstream, never ending anime such as: Naruto, Bleach, Gintama, D Grey Man, One Piece. Not that they're bad or anything, but it just goes on forever, like the anime artists have so much money to spend on mainstream plots and bogus filler episodes that span for months / years (I remember naruto spanning for three years of fillers). The next set are with the following reasons: Code Geass (The first one) - stopped at 14 cuz it got kinda repetitive with one guy ruling over everything. I liked season two though (R2). Animal Crossing (Movie) - boring and unproductive. It was about saving their town from something (there were no subs and I didn't know japanese). Romantic series, especially ones that don't have anything special to them like super powers or something - it's another romantic story, who needs in anime form when you can do it live. I stopped Kanon on episode 4, but people say there's sommething awesome on episode 15 or something. Persona (Trinity something) - people didn't shoot themselves in the head T_T. What a lame concept for the anime that does not contain persona qualities like from 3 for the ps2.

d-grayman is pretty much faithful to the manga...so if there are anime fillers...it's the mangaka who's really at fault ^^; it will just take a bit more patience cause the anime caught a pace too fast for the manga releases (defending lol) but naruto and bleach I had to agree.

(ID #280864) Posted on 2008/08/28 00:59
See, I had issues with the D Grey Man anime because it just didn't have much atmosphere to it all all. They needed a more creative production designer on it than what they had. That reminds me, I should try to catch up on the manga. I just don't have the patience to wait for something to happen every week when I can check up every couple of months and actually get some plot development. ^^; I couldn't even stand the Naruto manga. It felt like the artist hadn't planned out a plot ahead of time and just started making shit up to buy time.

Persona Trinity Soul was interesting in its own right. Although it was supposed to be set something like 10 years after Persona 3, I think it should've been more of a stand-alone anime than a "sequel." It was meant to be more of a drama show than it was an action show.

Welcome to NHK!, I enjoyed the manga but the anime was beyond crap in all senses. Evangelion, I still don't get why people like it so much. The only thing that's worth in the anime are Asuka and Misato. Koihime Munsou, I know it's a new anime but I couldn't stand it. Lame characters, horrible music and the 'nanoda~' thing... OMG that pisses me off!
(ID #280827) Posted on 2008/08/28 00:35
well, i think evangelion was so popular 'cause in their times '90s broke the rules and show something that no ones to that time 'veen displayed. Behind all that bio-robots, angels, fights and lot of other stuff, the anime show the emotional part and presonality of EACH character, show their trubles and the way the confront them. Maybe now in time there are a lot of animes better than eva, but from the start, EVA make the rules.

I am sorry, but the more I watch R2, the more I lose faith in it... first season was really epic and original. but this season seems like a repition, and who has the better geass...

Seconded here.

it's probably due to the fact that most of R2 is as Taniguchi (Geass Director) puts it "NOT AS PLANNED"...

Too bad about not getting to know the original story, eh? Maybe he should consider writing it into a novel or summat...

Holy crud you can't be serious! You mean R2 could've been more epic than it was now?! DAMMIT SUNRISE. DARN IT ALL TO HECK!

I would have to agree with #5 simply for the fact that it came so highly recommended. Granted I have only seen a few episode (but losing motivation to move forward and trying really hard to like it), but so far my feeling is "meh".

I loved Fushigi Yugi... >.> Though yeah, OVA's sucked.
(ID #280890) Posted on 2008/08/28 01:24
I was so depressed to see Fushigi Yuugi get so butchered, myself. I only watched the first 3 episodes or so, but the artist in me cringed to see Yuu Watase's beautiful character designs end up so painfully off-model in virtually every shot.

Turn A Gundam was good, it has a solid story, helped Tomino to get through his depression... if you get used to the weird mecha designs...

#1 worse anime-Naruto - 1 min worth of action and 30 min worth of crappy filler talk, they never start talking.....

Of the anime series that I've actually seen. By far the two worst ones are Sister Princess and Someday's Dreamers. I was actually shocked at how bad they turned out. And I haven't seen Gunbuster 2 yet (or the original Gunbuster), but I'm surprised that Danny hates it so much. Everything I've heard about it, was that it was incredible, and an awesome sequel to the original Gunbuster. And that it especially got way better towards the end. : /

IMO, Gunbuster 2 is like homage for the original Gunbuster. And also I think some concepts of it are very cool. ^^

For truly awful, I'd have to nominate "Odin - Photon Space Sailer Starlight", for being incomprehensible and just plain bad. Harmaggeddon follows closely, and then maybe Ninja Scroll.

I simply don't even try seeing them, so I only see what I like. Some have not so good ending or end kind of messed up in middle. If you want to see what I like or dislike go to anidb and see the rating I gave to what I have, most need re-rating because they were the first that I saw.

I'm actually a pretty tolerant guy, so I can watch what a lotta people consider "crappy" and still find it OK. That said though, I hated Kanokon the instant I watched the first episode. I tried to follow the storyline through reviews on others' blogs, but it still didn't feel worth it. Strike Witches might also turn up on my list as well, but it's not complete, so... *continues reading reviews*

Gantz was a good series that went sour during its last story arc that, I'm assuming, deviated greatly from the manga. As far as just bad series overall? There are so many I've rejected after just one episode, but I'd have to say Gilgamesh is one of the worst I've tried to sit through. There was so much potential in the plot and especially the design, but the show was poorly written and directed to the point that I couldn't continue watching after eight or so episodes. I sat through Tokko a while back, but that was another bad one that had no resolution. Thankfully it was short. More recently, though, I have to call out the Naruto and Bleach filler episodes as being some of the worst material ever. There's a reason certain manga properties are converted into anime, but once you remove the unique flare of the artist/writer from the equation, you just have a bad product.

one of the worst ending for me is Magikano. Then is final fantasy unlimited, the whole series is, no comment. As for GSD, I don't like the charcter Shin only, but ending quite ok for me. Then naruto and bleach I stop chasing anime (now only read manga) because too much filler.
