this is some weird, concept art independent short which is mostly confusing, absurd and weird and whose quality is hard to quantify beyond 'wtf'. Can't really compare it to a regular industry anime like MoD that just objectively fails at every criteria from writing to visuals. Just because independent shorts like this are in the same DB doesn't mean it makes sense to 1:1 compare them to industry products that are supposed to be commercially attractive. They (should) get scored differently. They're both among the worst of their kind but deciding which one is worse is not that obvious.

Personally I find it worse be this bad for a full ~20 minutes instead of just being extremely weird for 1 minute. Anybody can come up with random, absurd shorts like that but making something with an actual story and characters this consistently bad makes the Idea Factory Masterpieces deserving of the title of worst anime on MAL imo.
I probably regret this post by now.

You don't understand. The rating and popularity IS meme. This is why so many have warned others not to take the ratings so seriously.

Bandwagon affects ratings positively or negatively. This has been tested and proven.

they allow, i simply try to search reasonong behind it, which is meme... is it that great? or is it just sub culture.. or it's actually doesn't matter that much since it was only temporary?

yeah but that's exactly why you can't compare music videos or arthouse shorts to industry products. because 80% of them have no 'characters' or 'story to tell' because they're trying to do something else aimed at a different kind of audience. So according to your logic that puts them on the same level as Nami and under something utterly bad like MoD.

That just doesn't make sense. Simply having a story and characters is worthless, it depends on how good something as it the things it does and if it doesn't even try to do story or characters, those aspects don't matter and what matters are things like how interesting was the concept, did the art look cool, was the animation enjoyable, the music, how did they interact etc... Judging something based on what it wasn't trying to do is unfair and if you think like that why would you be watching arthouse shorts or music videos in the first place? I don't get it.

But if something does try to have a story and characters, like Mod, and ends up being the worst of the worst in those regards, it's a complete failure and not better than other stuff that fails at different things. A complete fail is a complete fail. And it's much harder to fail this hard with a story and characters than with some obscure, freaky stop-motion arthouse short in my opinion.

There are tons of similarly bad shorts and music videos in the DB and Nami only stands out a bit because of the combination of stop-motion/live action and being weirdly sexual which both don't really make it any better or worse, just more shocking. But there's almost nothing that reaches the kind of badness of Skelter Heaven and MoD. Even other Idea Factory works like Generation of Chaos seem like decent shows compared to those two.

so, it is worse soething to be fail than something that not even try? sure short give has far less chance, but doesn't mean outsright neglected it... while mods is fail rushed ads... it might be decent if starched to 12 episode... i don't think i would enjoy nami if it's get any longer...

sure it's unfair, but if we had 10 based ratings... that's all we had to do...

I'm quite fond of the recent 1st episode myself, but the basic principles behind memes and what makes them become popular applies to everything else regarding popularity because at a basic level the mind processes them in the same way.

Well no, because liking an anime more than someone else's anime will hurt that person's feelings, and the law ends where feelings begin. May reason rest in peace.

it's not 'not even trying'. That implies it is a prerequisite to have a story and everything that doesn't is a failure from the start, which might work for industry products but is a stupid and naive way to look at music videos or arthouse shorts. It's not inherently inferior to simply try and do something else. It's just different.

It's like shitting on every anime that doesn't have romance, action, sci-fi, fantasy, slice of life, superpower, harem, ecchi, psychological and every other genre because it's 'not even trying' to be all the genres it isn't. It's stupid to judge shows like that based on what they're NOT trying to do in the first place and I think most people are aware of that when it comes to regular anime and different genres, demographics and narrative structures.

So why is trying to be a conceptual arthouse short or a non-narrative music video inherently worse for 'not even trying' to do stuff that it is not interested in doing? Where is the difference to a romance anime 'not even trying' to have good action scenes? Why can't narrative and non-narrative animation not just be seen as two things trying to do different stuff without one being inherently superior/inferior to the other? Just like, idk, the sci-fi and the historical genre try to do different things and not judging the historical anime for not having interesting future technology and the sci-fi anime for not being historically accurate?

lest be real...

i am never stating that it has need to be compared one by one... i love short my self and definitely judgest something not by what it be definitely not a good things. i migdht worded my words badly...

my point is not that they are automaticaly worse simply because it doesn't have character or plot, the problem is that nami really has nothing to offer, less than MoD and also still fail at that... swish swarimg to vag? what that even mean? is it good that make us feel wondered and un paid? sure MOD is bad as well... it fail to even give coherent story telling, explainable plot or character... but it's explainable because it's a fail rushed ads, but the potential still there to be some mediocore survival seires... while nami? what was that even mean? what they offer? they still fail at that...
