Worst Anime
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?

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

yup, ending was not that good.

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.

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.

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 ^_^

worst anime for me would have to be... IGPX, though it isnt too bad. It's probably because im not a big racing fan. The art was good though
student, doujinshi manga artist
another one would probably be Kaze no Yojimbo and then Beyblade, KnY because you can predict almost what's going to happen, and Beyblade because I don't see the fun it battling tops

I was never really a big fan of DBZ as I didn't like the art style. And it did get kind of ridiculous after a while...

yes I thing the same of black cat anime ending.
and +1 for bobobobobobo, I can't understand this anime.

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'

Manga had too much panties for me, so I liked the first series more for its reserved nature. The second series was better than the first for what I've seen of it--so much better...
I liked the first series, it was consistent. The second series started great but then just died and the rest of the series couldn't keep up with the pace. Was a disappointment.
Student & Otaku
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)

Cardcaptor Sakura is great, although I could only find 1 DVD of it in the UK and it had those awful American voices rather than the original Japanese.

Ugh, i don't get why Tsubasa gets such high ratings either..

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 ;)

Wait, they actually repeated the plot of the first series in a sequel? . . . That might explain why TuxedoMark's copypasta POS fanfiction actually gets so many reviews. . .

I liked Seed Destiny better than Seed to be honest, but I cba to type up why.

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.
nada
Yeah, that was a big flaw of Seed Destiny, they shouldn't have reverted back to Kira as the main character.
デレデレ ハンター, Bullet Grazer
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*

Lab Technician/Nursing Student
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).

Gasp, Heathen! j/k I liked Chobits, I consider it an Anime classic.
Close-protection officer/Martial artist
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.
Merchant
Also loved Gantz :D
Law student
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.
Close-protection officer/Martial artist
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.
Ninja / Engineer / Sensei / 魔法少女 (What!?! I can't be, I'm a guy...)
As Optimus Skiver says, there is much more meaning to the show than on the surface. It was more than just a simple romance anime. It addresses issues such as human/robot relationship, genuine love, etc.
University Student
Fate/Stay Night has the whole love without sex thing and that was a great anime, but so sad ; ;
University's Slave
That's an odd thing to say when you consider the source material is an eroge. . . O.o; Still, good to know it had enough of a plot to pull the ecchi stuff out and have it still be good.
lowlife shutin
yea i have to say the same for gantz, even though its so hard to explain the connection i had with the serie's characters but it was there and i also just happen to LOVE chobits omg... even though gantz's ending was very dissapointing i still loved the series and i never knew that chobits was based on an opera thats amazing =D
Physical Therapist
http://www.flyingpussyfoot.com
I completely agree on Chobits.They could have put the plot in 12 Episodes and there would have been still alot of boring sequences.Nothing really happens throughout the series and the happyhappy ending was a very cheap and easy ending.
Close-protection officer/Martial artist
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.
Physical Therapist
http://www.flyingpussyfoot.com
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
University's Slave
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.
Close-protection officer/Martial artist
Manga was so much better... but more nudity... =_=

Gantz is terrible, it seems that i'm not the only who greatly dislikes gantz
Close-protection officer/Martial artist
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.
N/A
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.

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...
wants to be unemployed
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.....

Gundam Seed Destiny. They (Sunrise) could have done better. And it seems Code Geass R2 will be following GSD.

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...
Student & Otaku
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

Bastad!! - I know this was a manga classic but the anime was nowhere near as entertaining as my friends who recommended it promised it would be.
Queen Emeraldas - any anime that doesn't have an ending sucks! :)
Kannon - not so much that it sucks, but that it's disappointing to see that after the brilliant character designs of Air and Clannad, Kannon was more ...uh... kid-TV-like.

Bastard! is still going in the manga, whereas the anime covered the first arc and cut out a lot of the story in the process...

Yeah, that one started out cool, then just dropped like a rock. I dropped it after a while, because the main character kept going "WATS GOIN ON???" And all the other characters, standing buy, were just like "uh...." and didn't explain anything, even though they could have, episode after episode, and he never figured anything out, blablabla I can go on but I think you get the point.

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.

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...

Geh...StrikerS...tell me about it. That show was mediocre at best....they didn't even start blowing stuff up until like episode 16!

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

The Air movie, purely because it does the series no justice.

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.

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.

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.

- Heroic Age... even though I watch the whole thing... pretty boring.
- Tekken the Movie (I watched it like twelve years ago and I still remember how horrible it is).
- Pokemon, after the sixth episode or so. Do I hear "Franchise and Merchandise"?
- Inuyasha, hated the [anime] ending to no end. What ending? OUCH!!!!
- Fruit Basket - YEAH!!!, you read right. Like the manga but hate the anime. Can you say SSSSSSsssssslllllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwww?
- DBZ and DBGT - the original BD was not annoying as the other installments.
There is probably more that I don't like, but I'll leave it like this... *murmurs* puts me in a bad mood...

there are some 100+ anime that aren't bad... Kochikame should be one of them... I mean, that show is old... 160 volumes for the manga = there are viewers out there who still follow it...
FMA Movie was needed to actually lay to rest FMA series... I mean they screwed up that much, compared to the anime, they need to have some way to nail the coffin.
and why do people hate FLCL... It's sooo random and funny...

Berserk ending was alright, lots of tears that you expected to shed from episode one. It's very Empire Strikes Back-ish, so I can understand why people wouldn't like it--most people hated ESB when it came out too.

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. : /

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...

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.

Wow...I guess you guys either must have forgotten about the Devil May Cry Anime, or it never happened at all, being from Madhouse and all that hype(LOLz).
Generally, most of those fighting-based series(Dragonball, Naruto, YuYuHakusho, and the like) never gets my attention, and most of these shouws tends to drag on forever.
Gundam Seed is a big pile of meh.
Galaxy Angel Rune is a major disappointment.

Devil May Cry (can't call it DMC or it may get confused with the very funny Detroit Metal City) Wasn't too bad. Even better when you remember it was adapted from a video game series.

I enjoy most anime I see, but there are a few that I just didn't like at all.
Any Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Someday's Dreamers, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, Please Teacher, Please Twins, Trinity Blood, Fruits Basket (favorite manga, horrible anime), Boys Be..., Shin-Chan.... Those are all shows that I just really hated (I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now). There are others that I didn't enjoy much, but were tolerable enough, like, Mahoromatic and Negima.
I'm watching Black Cat right now though...and I'm not really impressed.

I don't know, but I was one of those 12-episodes work. This one was called Giniro no Olynsiss, and when I say it was bad, I mean incinerator-full-to-the-brim-for-days bad. The art was done by the same person responsible for Gundam SEED/Destiny (I forget his name >_<) and while it was good to look at like always, the story and animation was bad. Very bad. It didn't make sense and it didn't look good either. Demonbane was 13-episodes and it was fine, this one is bad. They should have extended the number of episodes, and expanded on the story a little; it had really great potential.

W-Wish for its mindf*cked ending. Im not sure if i can recall it, but it was about choosing sisters across dimension.
For ToS, maybe i was expecting it was something like .hack. =___="
HiMM, its made of RAGE and WTF

Why Lucky Star? It was pretty funny if you understood the references but then again it was never supposed to flow properly to begin with (like the 4koma comics). That and it was random in a good way.
And ToS? Art style was pretty but strayed from the orignal game. Besides try not to expect series to be like other series otherwise you'd just end up in huge disappointment.

Giniro no Olinssis - animations wasn't all that good, plot was kinda generic.
Itazura na Kiss - I couldn't get past the 2nd episode
Yugioh - have watched a couple episodes, and just can't understand what all the hype is about
Bleach - I dunno, to me is just another fighting anime. Watched like10 episodes, it's more of the same.
Naruto - refer to Bleach =P
Final Fantasy Unlimited - I basically bought and watched it just because it was a Final Fantasy item. But I dreaded watching the whole thing. The cactuar was kinda cute though.

Oh, that's EASY.
EVA (series+End of Eva) > to put it blunt, I really do not like EVA. There are certain redeeming qualities to Eva that I really like, for instance, Eva-01 going berserk -that is cool. But alas, we only get to see that happen three times in the anime (the beginning, coming out of the derac's sea, and eating one of the angel). Of course in the movie, we saw it in berserk mode, only to be tied up. The execution of how it ended was rushed, and sudden -like, there is a major shift from, we gotta destroy all the angels, to what is Nerv/SEELE/Gendou trying to do? Overall, one confusing anime, and I do have high hopes for the new movies that are to come out.
Gundam Wing>Honestly, I REALLY do not understand why people like this Gundam show in the west... Grant it, I like EW MS design (b/c you know, Katoki Hajime did them), but the story is... and the character designs are... yea...
Gundam SEED/Destiny> So much potential in the new Gundam, yet if failed rock hard...
Dancouga NOVA> started really random, like most super robots, I guess. The execution was nice, but again, we fell into the failure of time restraint. I feel that they TOTALLY rushed the final battle...
Minamike1+2> don't get me wrong, some of the humor is great, but at times, it really does seem over done... The second season was also really bad compared to the first.
Kujibiki Unbalance> I am sooo sorry I picked up this anime and actually finishing it... Really, an anime which tried to be stereotypical of all genre... which made it suck....
Tactical Roar> Harem+battle+rushing the final few parts = suck hard
Parts of anime I really didn't like>
Last Half (or rather the second arc) of Gurren Lagann> No offense, but the second part really did suck... The final battle was epic, spanning three (?) episodes, but the upgrade after upgrade, after upgrade led to no time for soaking in all the upgrade. As a mecha person, I really would like to see some more actions for the other upgrades... As well the final battle was a "What is this?" factor, more than a"OMG Epic!" factor....
Characters Development in E7> You know, E7 is good, but for one, the character development is really annoying... It's not that it's bad, it just hurts to see then moan and whine about their past life, and how much they are insignificant, and what not...
The actual story arch of Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi> Maybe I can't swallow the funniness in the actual story part of the series (by the way, this is the 6 episodes, talking about how special Haruhi is), but yea, when I first watched that, I was like "WHAT???" Not to say I still am...
Development in Sousei no Aquarion>
I am still watching this, but depending on how it goes, it might be on my worst anime list, pretty much for the same reason... I really do see a flaw in the SR-concept of story telling... Maybe I am too wrapped around the drama that is RR...
Seirei no Moribito's lack of fighting>
They showed REALLY awesome fight scenes, but only few... Most of them were just talking and story telling. I mean, I like this anime... It's just, you expect more fighting, and you don't get any...
Code Geass R2 story development> rushed no?
Macross ZERO, for story continuity> yea, this is probably the biggest thing that got to me... I really have no idea how F is going to tie in Zero to all of the rest...
Rurouni Kenshin, after the Shishio Makoto arch> some were good, others were horrible. In all honesty, they should have just STOPPED it there. Same with the manga. The Makoto arch, and the events leading to it were epic. The whole "Jinchuu" thing with Enishi was just, ugh...
Naruto/Bleach, for the fans they have> There was a time when I read Naruto/Bleach, and watched Naruto/Bleach. And then all the sudden, I saw the fans of these two anime, and then I stopped.
I am pretty sure I can talk more about what anime's I really didn't like....
Add note: I REALLY do not see how Top 2 is bad... I mean... why was it bad (I liked it... i thought the story was interesting... And especially b/c I watched Top 1 after Top 2, so the story sorta connected.)
Fun fact: So I do watch/read (more read) Conan from when it started, and I realized, for those past years, I have gradually seen that many people DIE... how inhuman of me...
NEET (no, student, AND employed min. wage)

Forgot to add to the list>
Martian Successor Nadeisco, for the way it ended> Dude, Nadesico is awesome, combining the elements of war with all the humor you can get it. It's pretty much the pinnacle of comedy mecha, other than FMP. IT's just the way it ended... Sorta felt like you were cheated... I mean, you were sorta dropped in the middle of a high streak...
Martian Successor Nadesico, the Prince of Darkness, for how IT ended as well> The event leading up to the final battle was good (regardless of how people didn't like the reunion factor), but the final battle just was too short. I also didn't like the fact of where it started, until I heard that there is a game that's supposed to be based on the years after the series and before the movie. Sorta wish those were animated...

In terms of crappy shows that I actually tried to watch: Da Capo anime, Tenjou Tenge (I looooove the manga, but the anime made me cringe), and Yoake (stopped after cabbage.) I also think Yu-Gi-Oh!

I remember that. It's when my friends said to NOT WATCH THE SERIES ALL AT ONCE type of thing which I didn't heed to. Couldn't stop bawling for hours after the final episode of Air.
Others I can see why but...:
Shana? Despite the loli-awesomeness the show was decent or average. Is there a specific reason why you hated it? Or was it her voice -.-''
Elfen Lied? Story was really well done IMHO. Twisted story but also unique it's own way so that was a new change for me.

Kaze no Stigma - stopped after a few episodes
Shining Tears X Wind - but I like tony taka...
To Love Ru? - the shows are worst than the manga although the manga is addictive

currently reading the To LOVE-Ru manga and I have to agree... the anime is pretty much a crap compared to it...
Student & Otaku
Well gotta remember that most anime adaptations are to attract the attention to the manga anyways.
And yeah Shining Tears X Wind. I understand... the story telling perspective was off, art style could've been better (only series that was on par with T2's art was Sora no Iro, Mizu no Iro [but that's H]), and it's IMPOSSIBLE to combine 2 storylines (especially RPG one's) at once in a series

Yeah, the Air Gear anime ending was shit all the way, considering how the manga went. I think they tried to drop the series as gracefully as they could after finding out that it wasn't even at the starting point yet XD

To me if it's a bad anime, I don't watch it and dropped it at first sign it's going to suck.
This season I kinda hated Special A... They went off course of the manga and it focused on too much of the melodrama rather than the comedy. It's too bad really.

Soul Link was the worst anime that I've watched completely. I don't know how I was able to finish that series. Part of the disappointment was that it was created by Navel. Dragonaut was the another horrible show that I suffered 16 episodes of. That's the first anime that I completely just stopped watching in the middle. Such a pity too since it had the entire SOS Dan VT cast in it.

Overtime, I've come to know that there are no animes I "hate".
Too strong a word. And senseless too, because you shouldn't HATE things you are willingly watching, and if you didn't watch it, you're in no right to say you HATE it since you just don't know it.
And even those I stopped watching because I didn't like, could just be because I wasn't in the mood, or because I misinterpreted something.
Nowadays, when I decide to watch something, I'll at least try 3 to 5 episodes. Lots of animes can have drastic changes in the first episodes, and lots can be misinterpreted if you only watch few eps.
Now, back to animes I dropped. Usually, when there too much ecchiness and no visible plot, I'll drop just because it's not my thing. Like Najica and Aika... both from the same author btw.
I tried once to watch Ikkitousen, but couldn't keep on.
Almost dropped Tenjou Tenge, but I forced myself to keep watching, and the "story inside the story" (Past Chapter) saved it for me.
But it's really a mood thing.
One thing I'll always recommend for people who have animes they "hate": Try to clear your mind from the senseless hating (specially those that hates anime just because he/she has a friend that won't shut up about it, or stuff like that), and watch the anime once again as if it was new. You could end up surprized by it.

Oh, and there's also the "manga better than anime" comment, or otherwise.
Most people will say stuff like that because they watched the anime first, or read the manga first, and took a liking to them.
And then, when you try the anime or manga after, it's like a copy. You can't avoid comparing what's good and bad with the other (which you already liked), so the second will almost always be worse... and you also won't be surprized by plot changes, and all the good things the first media brought to you.
It's kinda unfair. Animes usually get the short stick because most people reads the manga first. And so, the anime doesn't have the voice you imagined, doesn't have the pace, episodes are either stretched up or too short, and all sorts of imaginable complaints...

There's three that spring to mind instantly,

S-Cry-Ed - Derivative nonsense, took itself way too seriously and also terrible intro and ending songs "I believe in drastic my sooooouuul!!!" Say what? O_o
Berserk - Plain rubbish
That's all I can think of at the moment, though I'm sure I'll think of more!

Are we discussing about just plain bad animes or just animes that had a lot of potential but failed to deliver in the end? I don't think it's fair to call those the "worst animes", seeing how there are plenty of animes out there that are just bad to begin with.
I felt the opposite about Diebuster, danny. The ending is the only thing that made me appreciate Diebuster.
The worst anime to come out recently that I can recall is probably Dragonaut, hands down. I would argue Lucky Star, but I've seen how ugly that gets. ¯(º_o)/¯

Candidate for Goddess: the anime with no end. Or rather, a 13-episode anime that just stops. Not a bad ending, not a cliffhanger - it just stops.
Evangelion: Too much philosophy for me. Also, Shinji made me want to smash my laptop to the floor and burn it for good measure.
Himawari!: Everything's either borderline average or bad. It struggles to approach normalcy.
Lime-iro Senkitan: Plot = predictable or illogical. Animation = spotty. Characters = dull. Fanservice = does the opposite of what it's intended.
Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko: Not fit for human consumption.
...I'm just halfway down my list. x_x" I think what makes things worse is that I basically never drop a series - I stick with it to the end, hoping things get better, and when they don't I have 13, 26 episodes' worth of mediocrity to fuel my hatred.

Gundam Seed Destiny without a doubt...
It took a series that was already... less than perfect.... Chewed it up... and regurgitated for crazy fan girls... and boys (Although I feel there are more fangirls of seedXD). All the characterizations were only 1/2 as powerful, and most of the events were repeats of things that happened in Normal Seed for the most part.
Looking through my anime on MyAnimeList I've discovered I gave the Dragon Ball movie "bio-Brawly" the lowest score of 1/10~
I'm not a dragon Ball hater or anythingXD (certainly not a huge fan~I'm a moderate)
But This Movie took all the elements of Dragon Ball GT (which was crap)~
And was used by the forces of evil (Aka money hungry anime co-orporate execs) to milk something else from the money cow long after it was deadXD It physically was painful to watch this movie... I forced myself to sit through it just so I could boast I had survived the crappiest anime movie of all time.

I know I'll probably make enemies with this but, for me, the worst anime I've ever seen was the Utena movie, had heard good thing about it and was able to buy for like 5$. I just totally hated every thing from that show, from the story(WTH is happening?) to the animation and the character design. I just couldn't stand it, the only good thing that came out of it was that I only wasted 5$ on it. Other then that, I don't really remember watching an anime I hated that much.

I thought Top2 was planned out from beginning to the end, each eps, there were progress and the ending that made a tribute to the Top1. Great characters with perfect seiyuus. Hows that fits in the worst anime ?

I vote for Naruto, believe it. There's little point in the majority of the shounen animes to be sure, but this was especially pointless. And doubly bad because a -ninja- was wearing a bright neon green "You can't possibly not see me" jacket. And the title character was the sidekick to that other guy.
Anything that boils down to, "I'm more powerful than you lulz!" is pretty bad though. DBZ, YuYu Hakusho, etc. But being that and insanely illogical just drives Naruto to the top of that dishonorable pile.

InuYasha was complete slop.
Naruto has some good parts and then it just gets stupid.
Gundam SEED was just horrific. I couldn't even sit through one episode.
There are quite a few that totally lost me at the ending. Its sort of like they hypnotize you with the pretty animation and the good plot and then grab you by the nostrils. XD
Escaflowne was pretty much like that so was Chrono Crusade. It makes me sad when its so good to start out with and then if fails to give a satisfying ending.

Well... I gotta say I am SO surprised about how often FLCL appeared in this post. I have watched the whole series all the way through many times and I never get tired of it. It's an all-time favourite for me. I really love it. Bo-bobo Bo Bobobo. OK I can understand people not being into it-- I love it so much, but I like silliness and goofiness (I also *love* Crayon Shin-chan for this reason). I haven't seen as much anime as most of you-- broadcasts in the U.S. are horrible and I don't have a ton of free time for watching lots of DVDs. I absolutely cannot stand Zatch Bell-- makes me want to destroy my television. I never liked Trinity Blood at all-- watched the 1st two episodes and never watched again. Unlike the majority of you, I also really like Naruto and InuYasha a lot. Mm... that's it I guess. SNOT FO' YOU!!!

I know I am pretty late, but the whole filler deal in Bleach is extremely lame. It takes away from the series by adding a completely unimportant story line which really doesn't fit anywhere. Fillers are whack, and Bleach is slowly losing interest.

Let me say this, I am sure I can do a better pick but I am just going to say it [Don't be hating]. Eva [Neon Genesis Evangelion]. Art, look, design, music and idea of story with "mecha" that have never been done like that [even now really] was GREAT but the way the character didn't really improve and the story not trying to be enjoyable [not the best way to put it in truth] Just made it self a over hyped anime. The movie and extra scenes didn't even help Eva at all. All it gets is being original idea. After seeing everything I didn't feel anything but a waste of time, only glad I saw it to just be able to talk about it, not in a nice way too.

School Days is definitely a downer! It is so "surprising"! But most pipz says it's a masterpiece but i don't get it. Why create kawaii characters just to turn them to insanely twisted people?! Too much for character development!(Sorry SD fans). Dragon Ball Z after Cell Saga is a waste but that's how business... "strike whilst the iron is hot" ...even if you have to compromise the reputation of the former episodes. Same with Bleach and Naruto, they definitely paying the price of fame, from a kickass *sorry for the language* to crappy story progression! Non stop character overpowering (the main char will become stronger just to face another much stronger opponent so you know what gonna happen next). Hope you get my point! XDD

Personally the worst anime in my opinion would be either Scry-ed or Trinity Blood. Both of these seemed to be nothing but absurd poses, and story lines that were far from original. I probably like Scry-ed least though, because (although I love most gundam series) I also dislike gundam seed, which seems to have the same creator.

However, something was making me want to watch the series again in chronological order. It was only then that I realised ep 14 was brilliant, along with the rest of the series and that I secretly loved Haruhi.

That line about Bernie's remains resembling hamburger had me laughing my ass off. I honestly got more emotional watching certain parts of SEED and SEED DESTINY.

It is very hard to specify which is the "worst" anime. To me;
1> Any schoolgirls group superheroes is a letdown. (Some title are good thou)
2> Great anime which grows on storyline and characters but poor ending is a letdown.
3> Wasting an episode or two on flashback from previous seasons is a letdown.
4> Side stories that has no concern on the main story or the characters is a letdown. (Especially alternate version)
5> Duels that span more that two episodes is a letdown. (One to one combat or small battlefield)
All the above is based on my experience watching anime.

The best animes that I have ever watched are the ones that touch my feelings, e.g. make me laugh out loud or make me shed tears. These are the ones that really worth it to watch and keeping in your DVD/VCD collections, if you have any.

I was so disappointed in myself for actually watching this series.
Worst anime, Haruhi.

In general I just dislike all the generic anime that Japan seems to produce the last 5+ years at least with the whole moe boom. So out goes Air, K-on etc. etc.
The worst anime i've seen recently has got to be Queens blade.
That was just . WTF ?
I dislike all anime made by Gainax. The anime that they make usually starts out good, but they always have terrible endings. I don't know if it's because they run out of money or they just lose interest, but the endings are horrible.
Some examples:
Evangelion
Kare Kano
Mahoromatic
After my experience with those shows, I avoid all of their other shows like the plague, even if some of them do get favorable reviews. They have a very long history of bad endings and I guess that's still the case as that was your main complain about DieBuster.
Trooper
You know, I am going to agree with you on that even though I am a hardcore EVA fan. The original EVA series' ending was like falling off a cliff. Than they came out with end of EVA, which I liked even less than the TV series ending. I also enjoyed Kare Kano, but man those final episodes suck! What is the deal with that puppet episode? GunBuster, great series, but the last episode is in Black and White? And the final battle is all freeze frames? What's the deal with that? FLCL had a good ending. With the way Rebuild of Eva is going, with a more physical approach and action oriented story lines I would hope it ends on a better note than Eva's previous "leaves you wanting to die" endings. After watching 2.0 (which had a fantastic ending), if they ruin it with the next films... I will not forgive them.

special a was the worst transition from manga to anime i have ever seen in my life, lets hope kaichou wa maid sama doesn't suck but it most likely will since the majority of shojos get torn to shreds

Naruto - I dunno what it is about this show and some of their rabid fans... It just rubs me the wrong way...
School Days - No other anime has made me more angry throughout the series then laugh at the end of the series.
Asura Cryin' - I just didn't get it. It felt like some many things were missing (or I wasn't paying attention...)

Hmmm... Can't recall anything that disappoint me that much...
As for Diebuster, well, GAINAX now have Gurren Lagann, right? ^^
Trooper
Yeah, Gurren Lagann had an epic, moving, emotional ending. Great series all around though... except for that ONE episode...
Kemeko Deluxe..
Naruto... Bleach..
DBZGT...
Air Gear because of "IM BORED LETS GET THIS OVER WITH" ending.
uhm.... Sailor Moon...
And MANY MANY MORE~

disgaea is tthe worst ive probally seen
also a i dislike Naruto its pretty bad
Student (University)
? I thought Diebuster 2 was actually a lot of fun. :P
On the other hand, overhyped shows like Naruto sucked balls.
Soul Eater was pure good though. Watch Soul Eater.

I... I really liked Diebuster... Am I in some kind of minority for that?
i dont think diebuster are not an worst anime i think diebuster is an good anime only the worst anime is BAKA!!!NARUTO!man!i hate naruto!they are so boring always talk!talk!talk make me go crazy!
Student (University)
LOL. They're called Narutards. If you ever see one screaming around at an anime convention, make sure you slap them in the face, and teach them a thing or two about good anime. Naruto isn't bad, but i hate how it's overhyped. There isn't enough action to back up the show. AND! Any show that exceeds like more than 50 episodes and kinda seems to just go on forever and ever, I've decided to stop watching those, as they've only been created so the producers can milk the series for what it's worth and make cash.
Short animes are the one's worth watching. A. It doesn't drag on, and B. Because it's short, it makes us want more, thus making it a good anime overall.
Trooper
Short anime really is the best. At most one season of 27 episodes or so, but I will even go and say that I prefer the shorter 13 episode series. I also enjoy condensed movie versions of long series. I have never watched the original Gundam series, but I watched the three movies and enjoyed them without having to buy the huge set of DVDs. That's another thing about long series, they drain your wallet. And it is hard to keep track of all the characters in a long running series. Bleach, for example has like a million characters. How am i suppose to remember them? Let alone care about them?

Hmmmm don't remember much but Koi Koi 7 had moé moé potential and crashed... and Melon Can (don't remember if that's the name of the anime, i mean the one with the canned-fruit-soda-girls) sucked big time the animation was a FAIL! but the story was good enough to make it good! @_@.

Gasaraki and Texhnolyze are tied for Worst Anime for me.
student
What's the worst anime of all time? Hmmmm, I dunno, but I do know one thing; the worst anime genre of all time. That would be these "sudden girlfriend" animes that are appearing everywhere. It's a formula, and an okay one, as a lot of people like these. In fact, I like them as well, I enjoy the idea of having love fall into my lap (side track: I watched a bunch of these during the last few days of summer. Boy was that a bad idea). But the fact of the matter, any formula that sells inspires corporations to continually create more and more iterations of a genre, and "sudden girlfriend" animes are very structured and don't allow for too many new things. If by "bad" you mean detrimental, then yes, I would say "sudden girlfriend" animes are the worst.

Wow.. I didn't even realized that this post is over a year old. Still very much relevant, though.
*Tekken the Motion Picture: I was pretty much in a state of 'WTF?!' the entire length of the movie.
*Queen's Blade: I only heard about the first episode through a friend and we always crack up about it, including how their armor is totally useless and the true intentions of this 'adventure/action' series. Can't believe there's a second season...
*Any series with too many episodes... I stopped watching Bleach when the gang was trying to save Rukia (a LONG time ago) and tried to get back to watching them to no avail. I like short series better.

I can't really think of one off the top of my head. I guess most recent major disappointment would be endless eight part of haruhi 2. I'd also say naruto and such are the worst but i've honestly never even given them a try, so as much as I dislike them I can't say they're horrible having never seen them, it wouldn't be fair. I didn't like Air very much, and Linebarrels of Iron I couldn't bare to watch because the main character was too corny.

Shonen animes like Bleach, Naruto and Once Piece for example. they are tooooooooo draggy. the pace is way too slow and it goes on forever. with lousy fillers along the way as well...

Well for Top wo Norae 2 Diebuster it was a disappointment indeed especially since it didn't have any feelings shared with it's former title Top wo Norae Gunbuster and felt more like a FLCL. I mean I loved FLCL and it's badassness but it just felt meh on Diebuster.
Probably one of the worst I've seen in Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, simply because I felt it was a silly anime filled with tasteless over the top fanservice and moeness and nothing else to it like it was taken from a guide book to moe and fanservice.
Also Ouran High School anime was a disappointment since I read the manga, I notice the anime was purely fanservice with little thought to it. Also having read the manga watching the anime felt borng as I had already went through laughing and it just wasn't fresh anymore. The only redeeming part of Ouran anime was watching the bossanova episodes, everything else was pretty much butchered or just plain boring.

Worst anime... Oh man there are some bad ones out there. What comes to mind right away is Final Fantasy Unlimited. Cannot believe I wasted my money on that. It taught me a lesson though. And that lesson is preview anime before you buy. Especially for those complete sets!! My God man that show was horrid!! I only saw the DieBuster movie and I must say, it made GunBuster look bad to be associated with it. GunBuster was some good solid story telling, and was pretty serious. It did a good job of expressing things without actually showing. It let your imagination go to work you know. DieBuster to me just felt like a toilet joke.
Trooper
One part that really turned me off to DieBuster was the scene where those two girls are tempting that guy with their sliced meat... I really felt uncomfortable during that scene for some reason, and I did not much like it.
