Every now and then, I have to watch something that I would consider really trashy. I think in terms of anime, the last trashy thing I watched was Gantz, which wasn't too bad. I probably would have read the manga too if I could easily get a hold of the volumes.

I don't watch trashy anime. Most anime is pretty lousy. I don't understand how anyone can "enjoy" it.

If you haven't yet seen "Cipher" you might wanna check that one out. It's sort of a silly kind of trash.

Huh.... That's odd, Gantz would not have jumped to my mind if someone asked me what do I think of when I think of "trashy".

Huh... that's genuinely thrown me for such a loop that I can hardly think of anything... I mean Panty & Stocking is raucously trashy?

as long as the story is trash , the anime is trash , let s say maybe the artstyle can save it a bit but not much.

Trash is a compliment when it comes to anime. Anime that's not trash shouldn't exist and have no reason to exist.

@queenofautism like I said before, most anime is of relatively lousy quality.

@Rally- It's sort of like a compilation of music hits with a sort of animation thing besides it, there's also some really bad voice acting in between the songs occasionally.

Hope you enjoy lol

I say the trashier an anime is, the better it is. It is hard to say which one is the most trashy because many of them are equally trashy.

The End of Evangelion, complete dumpster fire that degraded the decent TV series in my eyes and I already wasn't too fond of that to begin with. I don't care if I get laughed at for saying this.

If this doesn't count as "trashy" because it's popular and generally considered "good", then Shinmai Maou no Testament.

I'd have to go with Gundam Build Divers, I think. The production value was middling, most episodes went nowhere, the story was incredibly derivative, and ultimately it was entirely forgettable. My other option would have been Saber Marionette R, but I've only seen half of it, so I can't say for sure lol.

Flying Luna Clipper

The novelty value of it being animated entirely on a MSX2 computer wears off about two minutes in, and it proceeds to drag on for nearly an hour of headache-inducing psychedelic vomit, incomprehensible sound/voice quality, terrible frame-rates and bad music. Only anime I've ever watched that caused me to feel physically unwell as a direct consequence of viewing it.

@AnimeEnjoyer2357 well that show is too violent. It is too much of an edgy gore fest to be truly enjoyable.

Boy-Girl Friendship is a really bad waste of your time. Guild Receptionist might run it close just because of how it criminally stains Rie Takahashi's CV.

Surprised nobody has said Highschool of the Dead yet but that's definitely it for me. Gachiakuta would also be one because the anime is literally trash.

Darling in the Franxx. Teenage melodrama nonsense, disgusting innuendo, plot points stolen from other shows, sexualized mecha lmao. An actual trashy mess, felt more like a trashy reality show with a weird scifi twist.

Classroom For Heroes. By far the worst anime that I have ever seen in my life, I regret even watching a second of it.

It has no reason to exist except be a cheap ripoff of My Hero Academia and High School DXD. The premise makes no sense. Blade defeats the Demon King then goes to a school to learn how to be a hero, and has the most average goal "to live a normal life". Yeah, you are not gonna do that by being a hero.

The designs of all the characters are generic, the world building outside the academy is nonexistent, the fanservice is shit, the story is boring, and there's a loli whose design is borderline child nudity.

I would rather watch and read the entirety of Boruto than even consider touching Classroom For Heroes again.

1/10. Sadly, the lowest a rating can be on MAL is 1 and not a 0.

I only watched a few episodes of that anime and never got back to it (I was just hella busy), was it really bad? Would be ironic since this is from the same person behind Death Note. But granted, being from the same author doesn't mean anything.

citrus. it was so trash i couldn't remember what its story was a month later. i was in my era of not dropping any animes so i grit my teeth and went through it. wouldn't recommend it at all. it had lesbian kissing tho i think which is why i still gave it a 6




@Fukoku platinum end started out pretty good and was decent till the first half. second half it became garbage. it was still decently enjoyable. i dont remember it much as its been years and i watched it weekly. but definitely won't recommend watching it if you already don't get too much time to watch stuff. i was in college at that time so i had the leeway to watch garbage animes, i won't waste my time on it now.

I don't think that there's a shared definition of trash here...

Trashy isn't the same as garbage... Like... there's a difference between cheap and worthless?
