wasn't this really bad?
the only positive thing was brutality that is shown in a couple of scenes... limbs ripped apart from the body etc.

This is statistically the worst-ranked animé on myanimelist right now. I kind of want to watch it just because of that.

Oh... oh my goodness. XD

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

That was just... freaking great. I think it sets a new record for cliches-per-minute. No, a new scale is needed... cliches-per-second, probably. Incredible that someone actually animated this.

Worst use of classical music I've ever heard. It was all easily recognizable stuff - it sounded like they took recorded tracks from one of those pre-programmed keyboards. I burst out laughing when they played Moonlight Sonata for the final battle. Absolutely hilarious.

And the animation, oh my. Some of the angles are so confusing... The alien is standing like... 20 feet away from the girls, and then we get a zoomed in shot of his hand, and somehow he's holding her by her ankle. And did it not look like that "lethal shot" that took down the alien actually missed? I swear it didn't hit him, yet he dropped. The character's faces show almost no emotion during the entire show. I don't think their eyes changed at all.

Then there's the fact that the enemies are so ridiculous. At the beginning when they raise their hands to attack... looks like it came right out of Michal Jackson's Thriller. The last enemy holds onto the girls' necks/ankles for like... 2 minutes strait, doing nothing until someone shoots him. And the girls' resistance is so feeble - thought it was great when one of them... knocked on him? And then she kicks at him like her legs are made of cement. The alien's final line, too, "Always remember, we are the earthlings!" or something like that.

There's so much to make fun of - I haven't even covered 1/4th of it. This is the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen. The first episode of Haruhi was more believable with Kyon's constant cynicism.

Okay. I'm a glutton for punishment. I have not seen this anime; and I would like to, at the very least so I could rant like everyone here is about this series(?).
I know that it must be something if there's shows out there that suck and are getting 9's and 10's and yet this one's getting what, 4 overall?

I watched it expecting camp. And I got some camp, but most of it was boring, dredging and insulting. Not the worst I've seen though, Moekkan is far more atrocious.

You guys really made it sound like this was going to be bad. I quite enjoyed the random twist at the very end of this confusing anime. Too bad it didn't really make much sense. If humans are the people from Mars that came to Earth and killed off everyone already living on Earth (the Ancients), where the fuck have the Ancients been for the past thousands of years?


I like how they said that the group had people with separate talents, but all those bitches ever did was shoot their guns.

This
was
terrible.
It had absolutely no sense. But, at the same time, it was so ridiculous that it made me laugh a lot. Animation, music (what the hell? Did I hear some pieces of classical music?!?!), and storyline were just bad.
But lol, I quote moush, at least this ova made me laugh, unlike Code Gayass, which bored the hell out of me.

Unwatchable. Really? What's wrong with you guys. It was fucking hilarious. And way better than quite a few anime this site holds on a pedestal. I gave it a 10/10. Might be changing that to a 1 or 2/10 but it's definitely not unwatchable...or the worst :P

It was stupid and it didn't make sense and ugh...words just can't explain how bad this really is. xO

And the fight scenes...omg lol...the girls just stood still most of the time and stared with those blank, stupid faces at the Ancients...and the Ancients also just stood and moaned most of the time...that was actually kinda entertaining hehe xD

Robosapien is right! This was so bad it was hilarious. The doctor putting the blanket over the headless girl and saying "This one didn't make it." had me cracking up for an hour. Apparently her missing head wasn't enough of a clue to everyone else that she wasn't pulling through. Oh wow this show was just funny!

Unwatchable is just a relative term for "worse than horrible" which Mars of Destruction undoubtedly is. In reality, I don't think anything is actually "unwatchable".

But yeah, that part was great. All the other characters standing around saying "We couldn't save her..."

Epic in every sense! (epic as in epic fail.)

Seriously this deserves to be the worst anime of all time. Thank god I was watching it with a friend and could actually laugh so much that I could die of laughter. This was both one of the funniest and one of the worst anime of all time.

There were so many hilarious scenes though, I was laughing almost all the way through the episode...
Oh, and what the hell did the father do to the main character guy(takeru) in that towards the end of the backflash? The voice acting made it sound like takeru was about to get buttsecksed or something.

I thought it was very clear that was exactly what happened.

Adds a very controversial, dark tone to it. It dares touch taboo subjects with such sensitivity, tact and grace, without coming off as ignorant, ranting or heartless. Very admirable, I must say.

Oh, how I lol'd when the girl got her head blown off, then later on the doctor says "this one's totally gone". Well no fucking duh'.

Overall, this isn't as bad as I was expecting. Bad, oh yes it was bad. But tolerable enough. There are certainly other shows that should have as low a rating as this one does on MAL, it baffles me how they can have a score of 6 or 5 yet this one gets a 3. But whatever.

As utterly cliched as this anime was, there are far worse anime out there. Just because everyone is ripping this anime to shreds does not mean it's the worst anime out there right now. At least it was entertainingly bad for some people. There are anime out there that are both bad AND boring.
