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 #280472) Posted on 2008/08/27 19:29
yup, ending was not that good.

I thought it was a good ending for bobobo, it was random just like the rest of the show, lol
(ID #280487) Posted on 2008/08/27 19:52
yeah...bobobobobobo is just one heck of a stand-up comedy anime...("=_=")

Dragon Ball Z, not overall bad, but bad considering how the awesomeness descended to pure crappiness after Cell saga
(ID #280475) Posted on 2008/08/27 19:40

(ID #280525) Posted on 2008/08/27 20:23
actually starting cell...I've whimpered at it. Freeza might have fared better. It's too formulaic already :/ But yes, it's still baddass hehe
(ID #280850) Posted on 2008/08/28 00:26
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 04:17
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.
(ID #281172) Posted on 2008/08/28 06:01
Yeah, like the "suddenly forget the storyline because we have run out of Manga so lets do this side story that has no bearing or relevance to anything for 6 months" thing. I love that... can't wait for this weeks episode though ^_^

Really? At least the Bleach fillers are whole arcs, whereas Naruto's consist of numerous 3-part sagas streamed together.

That's true - I was actually interested during the Bento arc. Naruto fillers were more one-shots actually, and they didn't even make sense. I've ditched both of them and resorted to just reading the manga.

(ID #312165) Posted on 2008/09/24 22:11

Digimon, Gundam SD (we're talking the american one, right?), and Monster Rancher were all good to give me the giggles, so I couldn't help but watch them.

yes, the American ones.
(ID #281039) Posted on 2008/08/28 03:14

More of a "beat 'em down and save the world" rather than "protect the world with love and peace". That's why Tamers was good.

(ID #280958) Posted on 2008/08/28 02:08
for me it would be Gensoumaden Saiyuki n Groove adventures Rave.....i started my interest in anime after watching the first 50 episodes of Saiyuki, just loved the 'journey 2 the west' theme to it, but unfourtunately till to date, theres no real continuation to the story... the season 2 was crap as it did not really relate 2 the main story.. and yea loved rave so much too, but the series was stopped halfway by the producers T__T'

(ID #280923) Posted on 2008/08/28 01:37
Really? That's pretty rare nowadays. I couldn't STAND the horrible art of the anime plus the fact the ending was WTF?! like. 2nd season wasn't even close to the manga and decided to be almost a series in itself that's different from the series altogether. Both hated way too much (don't get me started on the Live-Action drama)

Well Cardcaptor Sakura and Angelic Layer was good, but I can't agree with you on Chobits... I mean, 3 filler episodes in a 24 episode series? Not a good sign.

Ugh, i don't get why Tsubasa gets such high ratings either..
(ID #281244) Posted on 2008/08/28 07:31
yea the art work kinda changes for some reason in my opinion... if you look at how they draw the faces and clothing, THAT changes quite a bit, like if you look at sakura in cardcaptors and then sakura in tsubasa you'd see what i mean... or if you look at the characters in tsubasa and code gease and then look at chobits then you'd see a major difference too >.<

In their defense, Gundam 00 seems to be pretty good, even after the trainwreck that was SEED Destiny. But then again, I don't watch most mecha shows for the plot, I watch it for the resulting plamodels that result ;)
(ID #281005) Posted on 2008/08/28 02:46

I hated Seed totally after the 1st season of Seed, especially with the introduction of the failed-clone of nu gundam :P. I though Destiny waas going to be the series savior, but when the show revert to Kira as the main protoganist AGAIN, I stopped.
(ID #280951) Posted on 2008/08/28 02:06
Yeah, that was a big flaw of Seed Destiny, they shouldn't have reverted back to Kira as the main character.
(ID #280964) Posted on 2008/08/28 02:13
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).
