I guess these could range from moments in anime that have impacted you in a certain way (positive or negative) or from an experience in IRL that is anime related.

One of my best experiences is from watching FMA Brotherhood. This was one of the first anime that I watched and I became immediately hooked from start to finish. Was an excellent gateway into a great form of entertainment and art.

One of my worst experiences came from watching Infinite Stratos S2. My friends and I have described the MC to be a paraplegic carrot because he would not be able to tell if a girl wants to fuck him even if they legit sleep next to him naked. S2 is basically this but on steroids. I still cringe at memories of this show.

Best time: Strawberry Panic. As absurd as it was, it gave me everything that I wanted from a romance and more...AND IT WAS YURI.

Worst time: Accel World. The only time I've ever dropped an anime. I try my hardest to complete each and every single anime I watch but this was just too much for me. Unlikable protagonist, bad romance arc, no tension in battle scenes because there is virtually no consequence to losing and so much more.

My parents caught me watching that gay kiss scene from Shinsekai Yori episode eight.


Yes, I responded to two questions with one answer. Interpret that as you will.

Best experience: when Utsu Musume Sayuri ended.

Worst experience: when Utsu Musume Sayuri was only 1min into it, but it felt like 1hr.

Not even joking. Even Shitcom was a better experience than UMS.

best: watching this masterpiece high, christmas tradition of watching disappearance of haruhi suzimiya and tokyo godfathers

worst: the empty feeling after hunter x hunter 2011 was over and realized togashi is playing dragonquest until his wrist breaks

also watching some of my favorite manga/LNs get butchered

I'd have to point to Plastic Memories as my best. It gave me my waifu, for starters. As for my worst I'd have to say the time I went through True Tears. I just have no idea what I watched. At all.

Best: Watching Death Note for the first time because it was really interesting I would even watch it on my phone in class some.

Worst: I watched FLCL off my phone in the car on a long vacation and I had a head ache and was halfway asleep and I was watching the dub and I found the voices really annoying. I actually hated FLCL for awhile but I actually just went back and re-watched it subbed (I still find the English voices really annoying for some reason) and I like it better now.

Best: Spike's final fight in Cowboy Bebop. Pissed off over his girl dying, Spike finally does what he should've done a long time ago and confronts his former friends, kicking off the most legendary killing spree of all time. It's easily my favorite scene ever.



Worst: This scene right here is the reason why I dropped GT. Among the most disgusting moments that have ever occurred in all of anime, this was easily THE lowlight in a series infamous for crappy scenes.

Gundam ZZ was so much of a pain in the ass that I had to take sometimes up to an hour to finish an episode because I was always pausing in the middle to do something else or even take screencaps to show everyone the retardation of some scenes.
It wasn't even that shitty. Just painstakingly boring and dull. During 50 fucking episodes. It only somehow started at midseason. Not nearly enough Haman to justify all that crap.
Same problem if maybe of a minor intensity with Macross 7.

You win this thread.

For me, best experience is watching the graduation episode for K-On! Those fucking feels.



Worst experience:

Realising everyone but me thinks Code Geass is great.

Best: Second time watching Clannad (wasn't very emotional for me on my first viewing)
Catching up to like episode 340 in Naruto Shippuden (enjoyed it so much)
Marathoning through HxH and Gintama (watched them both back to back lol)

Worst: ALL of School Days (worst anime ever)

There are a number of anime which have annoyed me in various ways but Fate Stay takes the cake for sending me on a rant. My expectations were so high after watching Zero first and really liking the protagonist. And then Shirou happened.

Best was possibly watching the first episode of Space Dandy with a friend who had not seen it. We had to pause nearly every minute.

Huh. Strawberry Panic was one of the greater disappointments for me. I knew what it was going in. Perhaps the reviews raised my expectations too high.

I watched Higuarshi when I was pretty new to anime and it was a great experience. I marathoned both seasons back to back. The first season, I was constantly guessing and trying to solve the mystery. The second season was a pretty satisfying thriller, too. I liked it enough to play the VN and buy all the manga volumes of the main story.

What is probably one of my worst experiences is watching Higurashi Kira.

Best experiences were probably Toradora and Ojamajo Doremi. Those are the only two anime that I've ever enjoyed so much I could marathon more than six episodes in one go without getting tired of it.

Worst go to my three least favorites, Madoka Magica, Cross Ange and Haruhi Suzumiya. The latter was mostly just incredibly boring. The few times it got frustrating were when Haruhi was doing something really heinous, like the computer club scene.

What is wrong with not liking MN? Better question would be why he didn't like the objectively greatest anime, aka Inferno Cop.

One of my best experiences was JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV). I hadn't had that much fun watching an anime in a long time. It made me geek out, as did the sequels.

Best has to be watching Ergo Proxy, Gundam Wing, and Code Geass. EP is still the best anime I have seen to this day and CG was so grandiose and ambitious, I could not stop watching it. Gundam Wing got me into mecha as a tender young lad, pacifism shoved down my throat was kewl.

The worst has to be having to hear G Gundam, that is the cheesiest fucking dub of all time. (Master Asia is still the god OG though)

Best: Probably while watching death note for the first time ever and seeing the scene where L tricks light in episode two, it got me so hooked. Also ep 116 with gon's rage was epic, rewatched it so many times.

Worst: hmm haven't had any really bad experiences but probably annoying ass filler eps in bleach/fairy tail. Also ghost hound got pretty boring towards the end :/.

Best? Probably everything from my favourites, especially NNB and Yusibu.

Worst would be School Days, because it was awful.
IS season 2 because it became horrendous compared to the first.

Best experience:Chihayafuru - I have lost interes in going to anime forums and facebook pages but after watching Chihayafuru, I feel like I have been revive.

Worst: I forgot which anime it is but one time there's this scene where the girl was crying or begging for her life but she acted as if she was moaning lol and then I forgot to put on my headset and so that scene played while my speaker was at maximum volume. I was in panicked to turn it off, then my mother knocked and was like "hey! you okay there? what's that?" haha

My best experience would be my first time watching an anime, knowing it was an anime: I was out of shows and films to watch and had too much time on my hands with nothing to do. A friend lent me his Serial Experiments Lain DVDs to try out. I wound up finishing it in a single seating. Not saying I haven't watched anything better since, but the experience of discovering was one of he most memorable I've had.

The worst would have to have been deciding to try Utsu Musume Sayuri. "What could possibly go wrong in just a few minutes?"... A lot, apparently. Occasionally, I watch something I like so much, it makes me want to reevaluate the other shows I've given 10's to. Well, this one made me seriously question whther the others I'd given 1's to even deserved it any longer.

Best Experience: Watching the second Gurren Lagann movie in a GIANT-ASS theater on a GIANT-ASS movie screen among a GIANT-ASS crowd all cheering and screaming every time something AWESOME happened. XD

Nothing could top that. Not ever.

............okay, so watching Evangelion: ReDeath fan parody with the same amount of people is really fun too......

Probably one of the more painful moments was
in Fafner, though it got better when it was revealed


Best moments? Hinata confessing to Yui in Angel Beats! was pretty great. I won't tag that because who hasn't watched Angel Beats?
This love for Hirasawa Yui consumes me, washing over my dirty weeaboo body with a cleansing warmth that allows me to reach greater heights. It inspires me to be a better man; not the man they deserve, but the man she deserves. Yui, I love you. With everything I have. You are my one, my only. Mai waifu.

In case you do not know the second season tokyo ghoul, it was announced as a parallel story manga, not an adaptation. So I was called Aogiri route.
