Without a doubt, Fate/kaelid Liner Prisma Illya. I think I'm on some sort of government watch list because of that show.

Code;Breaker would be one of them. I honestly tried to watch it, but I kept failing after episode 3.

The story might have been OK, but the characters, oh my lord, the characters.

The Pokemon Giratina movie is the only movie I've ever given up on less than halfway through, so probably that?

Also try the Genesect/Mewtwo- and the Hoopa movie. As well as the the new one. They are awful. They are ~ 80 minutes of advertisment and nothing more.
The Genesect movie panders with Mewtwo to all fans, but didn't get what fans liked about the movie. The approach to the science-theme is totally shallow and just an excuse to let it fight in bad CGI with a new mega form against a Pokemon, who looks like a transformer...

The Hoopa movie treats all legendaries like "Godzilla monsters". They appear for no good reason just to bait for new mega forms and fight against each other. That thing really is the worst of all.

The new one panders to old fans again with old scenes, but they are so out of place and rushed that you can't feel anything. In the end it became a train-wreck with Ho-oh and pandering to a new Pokemon, which shouldn't belong in this rushed like 80 minutes.

I don't expect too much of kids movies (or not the same of adult movies), but I unironically liked the first five films and these with Lucario, Manaphy, Darkrai and Zoroark were at least pretty okay as well.

I've been (slowly) watching through all of them with my SO over the last couple of years. Haven't gotten to Genesect or Hoopa yet, most recent is Arceus. So far the good ones IMO are Mewtwo, Lugia, Entei, Latias/os, and Lucario. Manaphy is real bad but it's kind of "so bad it's good". Arceus is on the borderline of being that too just because of Arceus's Dub Voice being hilarious but everything else is just bad. Darkrai and Giratina are both irredeemable. The rest are like 5/10.

if I remember correctly, wasn't that a short anime with 5 minute long episodes? and no animation other than the characters shaking every time they spoke? I feel that pertains to a certain type of audience. I found it whimsical and a bit stupid ( in a good way) I dropped it myself but I can see how and why some people might like it.

Berserk 2016. I hate this show. Not in the same sense that I dislike other shows that I though were bad. I hate that this show exists. It could have and should have been amazing, but they wasted the source material, and now we will probably never get an ACTUAL adaptation.

These had me wishing for blunt force trauma to the head in order to wipe my memories:

Amnesia

Diabolik Lovers
The Hill Dyed Rose Madder
Isuca

Unfortunately there is no such thing as eye bleach. These were horribly planned and just a waste of production and staff. Over convoluted and over the top with not enough thought to dialogue, plot or character development. Wasted hours I'll never get back.

Lol if you find Violet Evergarden "boring", you may just not be mature enough to appreciate it. :/ It's a very adult series.


I respect your opinion, but I totally dissagree with it. Violet Evergarden can be everything, but a mature series just no, it's full of cliches, plain characters and the "memory dolls" system is for me the worst excuse to show off how a character lacking personality and emotions developes them.


It's only been two bloody episodes? What are you talking about "full of cliches"? It doesn't remind me of anything I've seen before.

It's just a gather of cliches from other series, never a straight copy of something else so it's kinda hard that it reminds you instantly another show. That's why I've said countless times that it's just my opinion, for me this 2 episodes has been more than enough to give the show a violent drop. I'm not trying to convince you, only pointing why I dislike the show (that's supossed to be the point on this forum, don't?).

If you like it, it's totally fine, at least I'm really dissapointed, it must been the hype around it :/

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomi ni. i just realized how generic this is after finished watching it. mind you, this is the first Isekai type anime that i ever watched so i really want to finish it (i never really into Isekai, if it’s different than trapped-in-a-video-game type of anime.) i feel like shit afterwards, it still gives me shits and giggles here and there though.

Sagrada Reset, im not say its the worst, maybe pretty so-so. Sagrada have a chance to be really interesting, but sometimes the VA and dialogue can be so bland, no emotion at all, the story itself is pretty good, some of the arcs are really interesting, but some of the character left no impression at all, so its very easy to forget. but i guess the VA for the two main character was meant to be bland because of the backstory, i still respect it though. but it’s still making me hard to finish the last 4 episode.

Berserk 2016/2017 it’s self explanatory i guess. well, after watched all the three movies and suddenly jump into the 2016/2017 anime adaptation is like jumping to the pit of hell.

Ero-Manga Sensei. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... well i love me some sister relationship, that’s it, it will be better if they just stick into incest then just revolves around that until end, i woulnd mind. but to put a stubborn misunderstood sister and harem with a touch of literature here and there is not what i signed up for, i need my yearly dosage of incest.

Mayoiga. dude the first few episode when they trying to find the village is pretty interesting, after that it’s just feel so weird and random. (the synopsis is really interesting though)

maybe thats it, i kinda dont want to hold any bad memories with bad anime

Sousei no Onmyouji by far.
Super boring and shitty characters, I don't like a single one.
Until the end of the anime, both main characters are still useless.
Every battle is like this: Both Main characters use a super ultra attack then they realize that their attack didn't do any damage at all. They get beaten up until another character appears and kills the monster.
It was just horrible to watch

Ps: Their little companion is one of the most annoying things I know

Lowest rating I've given is Nisemonogatari at 3/10. I haven't watched the series in a good 1-2 years and more or less dropped it after Tsukimonogatari but I think Nise was the one with the toothbrush scene which I found extremely distasteful and nothing about it was humorous to me even in an ironic way - I just sat there watching the scene and thought to myself "Wow this is why anime fans get such a bad rap as being weirdos/strange". I get fanservice is a thing and it helps the shows popularity immensely but it's just a shame that a series with such solid storytelling has to resort to such bs.

Then its probably not my type of humor. The only thing I found funny about it is the very end of the episode.

Really? I wished, I'd remember more than "Manaphy is cute... aww cute, May is cuddling it!... there were also a Ranger and a temple." I have seen all of them in their release years. So, maybe you are right about that.

And besides that: I'm watching a few bad anime right now. Does it have a Shounen Ai- or Yaoi-tag? Chances will be good that this thing will be not be exactly brilliant. =D

Lol I wouldn't touch Aku No Hana with a ten-foot-pole. It's one of the ugliest-looking things it's been my displeasure to lay eyes on.

The manga's art is better but it's no less uncomfortable. Just a big "NOPE" from me.

It's a tie between "Urusei Yatsura" and "Maison Ikkoku."

They both suffer from the same problem: annoying characters, and not a single likable character in either show. I'd rather get terminal cancer than to ever attempt to watch either show again.

Clearly, you guys know nothing that you are talking about when you think Sao, log horizon, fairy tail is the worst anime you have seen( for newer anime). You guys should just watch Mahou Sensou (This is the anime I don't even know wtf I am watching, I don't even know it got an ending), Big Order (holy fuck does the story even make sense at all), Seiken Tsukai no world break ( just look at the animation and generic stories) , Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Seneki ( most bullshit storyline I ever watched) , Ousama Game the animation

The worst in the history is probably Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven and their friends Mars of destruction (THeir studio is simply not just only out of fundings, I can't believe they will try letting it out they must be blind)

I'd say the second season of Oregairu was pretty fucking horseshit. It somehow managed to be overly-melodramatic yet unbearably boring at the same time. Dropped that shit faster than I care to admit.
