I'd like to pick 3 categories.

(I) Apparently unknown show: Gunslinger Stratos, I can't believe nobody has mentioned it and I think there's 2 options for that: (1) You haven't seen it or (2) You haven't finished it. I don't understand why, but I don't only have started it, I watched it completely. Absolute garbage. Worst show ever

(II) Unpopular opinion: Clannad, I've dropped it with hate, worst show ever second only to the aforementioned Gunslinger Stratos. For me even when I do like other shows that are almost only about sadness and bad things happening to the protagonist because the autor hates them.

(III) On Air: Violet Evergarden. It's not thaaat bad, but it really hurts me that a soo well animated show (it's just beautiful, everything on it, all) has ended up being a so boring story. A plain female protagonist and support characters who simply doesn't catch me. It's not the worst, but it hurts to see some outstanding animation goes to waste

(Sorry if there's one or two grammar mistakes, english isn't my native language)


I can agree, clannad was absolute shit. however, after story made up for it, if only just a little bit

Crap you just reminded me of another element that drives me nuts.. Melodrama.. The worst anime will have lots of melodrama..

Ive noticed a trend actually where Ive been slowly downvoting shows like death Parade, Your lie in April and Ano Hana as my hatred for melodrama grows stronger over the years..

First time I saw death parade I gave it like an 8 or 9 or some business.. Now its down to a 6 or 7... Clannad:After Story about to join them..

I have such a long count that includes animes like
Angel Beats!

Oregairu
Noragami and others that I do not mention to avoid hatred.
Give the title to one is impossible, if I have to give reasons, based on what denotes the overvaluation and / or the torture I suffered to see them, I will not spend so much development.


After checking your list it would appear that all of your 10/10 were Harem/Fan service anime.. Or just flat out Hentai involving pre-pubescent girls.. Sooo.. There's that.

Seriously, not even tryna bash you.. Don't take it the wrong way. Its like.. An objective fact. Every other show gets a 4 or less..

You only like School Anime with fan service, all else is garbage. That's the content you're in to and I respect your tastes.


The truth is that I take the anime as a joke, and what I value most would be the joke that gives more laughter, to defend my person I tell you that I'm not interested in all the fanservice or all stupidities that offer, i tend to be more analyst but, quote the first verse again.
I hate deepening, sometimes it's necessary.

It's really funny how I do like a lot Shigatsu wa kimi no uso and Anohana, but, for some reason, I hate Clannad and Clannad: After Story.
I think it's mostly because the first 2 shows while still having a lot of melodrama at least they have a reason for it, being to move on over a traumatic past and keep going with their lifes that reason. Both shows does have at least a motive for all the bad things, while, in Clannad all the bad stuff that happens to it's male protagonist seems to be just because some kind of god hates him and wants his life to be the worst ever possible

The second season of oregairu, this is the worst melodrama.

I different from you Mario Isla.
Oregairu maybe difficult to understand all the story and even I have seen it 5 times, I still don't understand all. I still thing Oregairu is great. But I will said that your opinion and this is mine. Each people are different so they have the different opinion.

Better man.

I saw this like 20 years ago and still don't understand it.

Freezing.
Freezing:Vibration.
El Hazard.
El hazard: alternative world.
( as a kid I really liked El hazard but when I grew up, rewatched it, I realize it sucks)

I don't like any anime where the main character is powerless to do anything. But all the girls want them.

Tokyo Ghoul.

Season 1 of Tokyo Ghoul was was alright , especially at the end but at season 2 it was all downhill. I don't get it... at all.

In Keijo, my favorite part is the fact that they display their attacks names like in Yu Yu Hakusho. I laughed hysterically at the "Shou-ryoppai" or "Shou-ryu-cans" attack. Street fighter reference cracked me up. Other than that clearly it was fanservice left and right.

Why?

MINOR SPOILER WARNIG FROM NEON GENESIS EVANGELION (no really plot significant details, only naming things that were in the anime eg: ninjas in naruto, swords in bleach)

It had so much potential, great setting, nice story, a ton of symbolism, some good characters, some great osts.

And it f*cked it up.
Setting: only thing that didnt change drasticly (cause it shouldn't, it's not a dimension shifting kinda show).
Story: everything became a mess in the ned of the TV anime (I know the lack of money) but it doesn't mean that the End of Evangelion film shouldn't close the story on a note that was undestandable. Things were left off: Lilith vs. Adam (which is which, why and how, oh and even who), what is the 3rd impact, why only those children can pilot the Evas, what was the 1st imact, and how many were there, how can yo ucreate a God, why won't you, what is seele, why does Ikare Geno have any power i nthe first place, what is the geofront, and why did it end up there, and how, why are the still trying to use normal weaponry against Angels with AT field (which is literally the territory between the skirt and the socks in japanese... I have so many questions there), who/what was kawaru, who/what/how/how many way Rei, what exactly are the evas, etc.
Symbolis: please do something with it, cause there is a ton in htere and they can be interpreted a million ways, and you literally state (HIdeaki Anno) that the viewer should not "make the symbolism their own" cause what is there is there, and should not be changed from viewer to viewer. But after all that you can't even finish this thing in 2 decades. Just say out loud what you tought, your fans will be there to support you ,even if some of them are upset about your thinking. remember a ton of ppl. love oyur show, give them what they deserve please, and give me, your hater a reason why I should evaluate things differently. GIVE US THE 4th REBUILD FILM, and even I will be content with that.


Overall: what I really hate in some shows even more than literal trash like Mars of Destruction, is the fact that the shwo made some really great things the left it to dry / made no sense out of it. It's like finding hte cure to cancer, writing a paper out of it, getting a hearth attack while finishing it, and as a last resort burning the paper to ashes, and sending your fortune to ISIS.

Devil May Cry - Boring curbstomp battles ahoy! Better off playing the games anyway. At least, Mars of Destruction gets a few points for being "so bad it's good" kind of thing and can be watched just for lulz. School Days has a satisfying ending that gives it some bonus points.

I know I'm probably going to get some kind of fan girl bashing my head in for saying that I didn't actually like the Noragami anime.

It wasn't so much the story (although a few things could be said about that) but Yato himself. He cam across as some stupid, hobo who was obsessed with getting a harem of girls once he got a temple. I don't know guys, I generally didn't like him very much.

Also there was this one anime which had to do with girls pushing each other off some kind of platform in the water, with their boobs and butts which was just........ I'm not going to swear here but it was just not my taste. I only clicked on it because it said something about the girl being a gymnast and I'd never seen an anime which mentioned this sport.

Mayoiga is really not that bad.

Masamune-kun Revenge is pretty damn typical and I didn't read anything about it before hand, I just like stories about self improvement and it happened to be laced with bitter hate in the process. Yet as it does, become a harem shit show, and people pull this guys dick by making him look like a fool half the time you just know this fucker is gonna fall in love with said pouty bitch tsundere of circumstance and the manga is still ridiculously ongoing at 45 chapters but has been running since 2012.....kay. Honestly I should've learned my lesson from Skip Beat.

Love Stage. I assume this anime was made to make straight guys go gay because that is the only people I hear praise of this series other then ladies who only submerge themselves in the "yaoi cesspool". It's rapey as fuck and there is really no chemistry other than some past memory and some sexual connection I guess??? I don't understand the appeal whatsofuckingever.

2013:Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199,Aku no Hana
2014:Pupa,Tokyo Ghoul
2015:Ninja Slayer
2016:Keijo,Berserk

and the 2nd one unpopular opinion i cant wait for all the angry fans
My Hero Academia
i found it really boring pritty much a more light hearted version of Hajime Hinatas story from Danganronpa but with little to no consequences for main character and the characters arnt interesting and i just really didnt like it

The one I always remember with hate is Tokyo Ghoul. That is because you are expected to sympathize with monsters that eat humans. But they never try to surpass their condition in any way and the food chain is unsustainable. Is just vegan propaganda masked as an anime. They try to make eating cows the same as eating humans. They ignore the length of the reproductive cycle for the two beings which is much much longer for humans.

Literally every generic perseverance Shonen Jump anime with hideous visuals and lazy action sequences that take absolutely no effort to pull off, and absolutely nothing new to offer, including:

Dragon Ball
Naruto
My Hero Academia

Those 3 anime have a lot of things in common, including grotesque art styles, lazy action sequences with zero or badly executed camera rotations, abysmal storylines, and worst of all, perseverance excuses for victory.

Well, I was just talking about how bad Bakemonogatari is with a friend of mine, and that reminded me that I couldn't care enough to finish that show either. It's a painfully generic harem/ecchi series that masks itself as something special by making its storytelling into a disjointed and repetitive mess with roundabout dialogue, and yet it barely any actual story, then you have all these people going all "woah its so deep and philosophical man" over this shit.

Purely by the score I gave it, it would be Nazotokine because it was just boring and a total waste of time.

However, the one I am the most angry at has to be Metropolis, because unlike Nazotokine, I had some expectations for this one and ended up with an unfocused and weird mess with too many plot lines to finish even remotely and the feeling like I had wasted 90 minutes of my life.

Might be Sho-bitch since it's my lowest rated yet. As for why, it basically combined a show I like (SYD) and a show I hate (Netoge). Add to that the shit production value and terrible voice acting. The only reason I gave it a 2 is because it has potential to be a good romance

Elfen Lied - Bullshit
Toaru majutsu no index 2 and highschool of the dead - no story, plot only ecchi......


second on elfen lied, what a joke of a show

also clannad/clannad after story is trash. it has some of the most amateur, sinful writing, the character designs are abysmal, and the directing is really shoddy, which is surprising given who the director is. i forget which episode had it, but there was a supposedly emotional scene in after story that ends in a really bad match cut to what i only understood as a non sequitur image, only to cut to another scene entirely. also, every scene with an insert song was surreal since the music sounded like bargain bin enya and i didn't care about any of the characters to begin with.

also cipher, but that's on a whole different level. it actually is the worst thing i've seen so far but i genuinely appreciate it and its existence
