Ex-Arm

These anime suffer from production issues that leave the source material to be cut, rearranged or completely abandoned - rendering it not cannon at all! These decisions don't necessarily ruin the series, but its something to take into account if u are after the full plot from the original author. If u enjoy these I highly urge you to read the manga for full experience!

My favorite shit anime that I've come to semi-unironically love. It's all trash.

Anime that are so terrible they become comedy gold.

Only the most "quality" of garbage!

Criteria:
• Score of 5.99 or below
• Widely considered to be "so bad it's good" by MAL users and/or the wider anime community
• Personal opinion/taste

No claymation, stop motion, 30 second CG clips, completely abstract visuals, experimental art created by a single person, etc!

Everything here is rated under 4.50 as of Spring 2022.

All Crunchyroll originals on MAL

For the inner masochist in you! The 40 lowest rated, completed, full-length anime on MAL of at least 10+ episodes, updated at the end of every season. Minarai Dive is considered a + because of it's borderline anime status and odd length episodes, and Dimension high School is a + for being partially not anime.

"*Sigh*, What happened here?"

Except from "Onyx Equinox", "Freakangels" and "High Guardian Spice" that even being produced and licenced by crunchyroll, are not considered animes by myanimelist for being 'primarily an American production and not targeted at the Japanese market'.

all the anime to be included here are mostly cgi or completely cgi no matter if they are good or bad.
only TV series or ONAS will enter here, as well as continuations, but movies, OVAS or specials will not enter.

Anime-influenced (non-anime) by Crunchyroll Studios:
Onyx Equinox
High Guardian Spice
FreakAngels
Meiji Gekken

Consist of really memeable anime

List of anime that are so bad that they're actually worth watching. A lot of these shows have bad plot and animation but are comedic enough to be enjoyed by the general population of MAL.

Anime with non-human main protagonists, such as demons, undead, gods, aliens, robots, beasts. For series with multiple main characters, the primary focus has to be on the non-human, or they are all non-human.

Limited to one per series because there are way too many.

Looking for some of the funniest trashy and bad anime? Are you constantly digging up bad anime just to end up being bored by how bad it is, rather than laugh at how ironically fun it is? You've come to the right place!

I've only put in anime that made me ironically laugh while I watched it. There's anime such as Ex-Arm that were funny at first, but they also became a pain to watch as the series progresses. I still included it as the first few episodes are unintentionally hilarious. The list is organized from highest to lowest MAL average just to show how it gradually gets worse in quality.

Also, please DM me suggestions to add to this list too, if you have some! Tsui no Sora is excluded for being an h-anime, but it meets the criteria elsewise.

I've watched several anime, such as Inferno Cop, Ghost Stories and gdgd fairies, that miss the cut and require their own stack. Check the URL below for it!

This is a compilation of anime series, that are in a way so horrible they are simply not worth your time.

Almost all of them have a very low score on MAL and are well-known for being not worth it (or just bad enough for entertaining purposes).

I hope this list helps you to avoid these shows from the start or at least find your next guilty pleasure anime.^^
