I know people said this was so bad it wasn't even laughably bad. But fuck that, it was hilarious. And it wasn't that bad, so my search continues...

I noticed that some songs were not original and that they couldn't pull off transitions when it came to the BGM. Even amateurs can do that. The gore was hilarious too. The strongest ancient was funny in that he would clutch people then throw them and their landing would be accompanied with a soft thud sound.

Thanks Mars of Destruction, brought me many laughs. Still going to give you a three, but thanks.




So, when's the sequel?

By the way, this shit is going in my favorites.

Who said that? Mars of Destruction is definitely "so bad it's good".

If you want something that's so bad that it's hard to laugh at, go watch Apocalypse Zero.

Deep story containing philosophical message, criticizing our modern society. First class animation with a stunning and detailed artwork. Tear jerking drama and an epic plot twist at the end leaving the audience in a cathartic emotional state. And a beautiful soundtrack perfectly fitting the scenes.

Hey I don't know if any of you noticed, but when the scientist that was talking to the businessman/politician towards the end said mankind had origins on mars. The businessman/politician responds, "Mankind had origins in Japan?!" I don't know if that was a translation error due to the fact that Shinsen subs sucks shit, but I fucking burst out laughing when I read that.

I have to admit, I was kind of into it at the beginning, but then once they started to fight that monster it all went down hill. It felt unfinished in the end, which made it feel pointless too. Oh, and what was up with them playing symphony tracks during the battle?

I didn't totally despise it, but I do feel like I wasted my time on it.

I still have no idea what I just watched. It was like starting Bleach or Naruto at episode 90 instead of episode 1. Nothing in Mars of Destruction made sense or was explained very well. The plot itself and the "twist" at the end were just plain stupid. If I ever wanted to turn someone off of anime, I'd show them this mess. I couldn't even laugh at how bad this anime was.

Priceless!

As most of you, I had to see MAL's worst anime. I must say that it was pretty boring besides the scenes mentioned above. A bad parody of Evangelion. It doesn't even deserve a horrible, it's just bad.
Also, what made me laugh was the classic music xd Itself it's beautiful, but it totally didn't fit!

It was bad, but I believe there must be worse anime out there. It didn't bore me like watching Endless Eight for 5th/6th/7th time did, for one, although they just about managed to fit in every cliche I could think of in those 20 minutes in a package with some poor animation, classical music that doesn't match the scene and some poor voice acting.

You can do a lot in 10-20 minutes. Just watch Kigeki or La Maison en Petits Cubes if you want proof of that.

I'm still in shock with what I just watched...
but i must say I really think this is a parody to Evangelion.

Put I laughed so hard that I must give it a loved it. I think this ova includes one of the best scenes found of an anime. I talk about the scene where you get to witness the awesome death of an unknown character in the first battle against the ancients. Its the one where the head dissapears...

that death alone is awesome. the way the head dissapears and then a stream of blood comes out, just lovely. and if that wasn't enough, you can notice, if you listen carefully, that the character that dies screams after the head dissapears.

this is just a teaser of the awesomeness of mars of destruction :P

I think the reason MoD is so hilarious is because it feels like the creators honestly thought that it was good.

I'm amazed at the wreckage this thing is. Even the usual stuff such as lightning, basic storyboarding, voice acting, audio recording, layout, character design and overall animation quality isn't handled properly. It's extremely rare to encounter such a messed up production value in anything coming from a professional Japanese company. Even the silly twist at the end or the use of classical music don't redeem the title since the audio quality is absolutely awful.

For some reason you people are making me want to watch this thing.

Something must be wrong with me

edit Okay I just watched this pile of donkey excrement and I feel like my brain cells took an acid trip, and not a good one. I'm blaming you people.

I'd rate this a 1 if it hadn't made me laugh my ass off.
