| I watched Clannad just to laugh at how bad it was. If any of you are going to give me shit for this, know that you are accomplishing absolutely nothing. |

| Just because many people say something's bad doesn't mean I will think the same. So I watch mainly out of curiosity. |
| I would not waste my time to do something so stupid to watch bad anime, I learned my lesson once with Elfen Lied, I do not want to do it again. |
 |
| I'm a curious person. If I want to know why a bunch of people are hating on an anime, then I'll put it on my PTW and will watch & finish it. Why do you think Guilty Crown and Hidan no Aria are on my PTW? Sometimes I do, yes. Because hey, if you watch a really terrible show once in a while you'll learn to appreciate all the good stuff that's out there. |

| All this talk has made me curious I think I'll try Mars of Destruction. |
spyrocoot said: Does anyone go out of their way to watch an anime that they know is going to be poor (ex: 'Mars of Destruction', 'Apocalypse Zero') just for the sake of lowering their average anime rating or so that they can have more appreciation for the "good" anime? Is there any other reason for intentionally watching a "bad" anime? Or do you only watch anime that you know you're going to enjoy? Apologies if there is already a thread for this, would just like to see some opinions. You are definitely not alone. I like a good challenge every now and then. |

| "Good" and "Bad" can mean different things to different people as well. I've met plenty of people who have said Utena was a "Bad" anime for various things, which turned me off to the show (of course that's probably not a good example, because a good number of people like it). It wasn't until later that I finally watched it and realized it was actually good. Whereas, I have seen "Good" anime that was only deemed "Good" because it was popular, and was actually bad. But that's why I don't go by the rating it has (unless it is so low I'm fairly certain critics wouldn't even touch it with a five foot pole.). |

You can't call an anime bad until you've watched it (don't knock it until you've tried it, right?). But obviously people can choose to go into viewing an anime with a negative notion (ex. if you're choosing to watch 'Mars of Destruction', then it's likely to be because you've read such negative things about it and want to experience its suckiness first hand, not because you expect a diamond in the rough). Utena? Bad? I don't often see those two words in the same sentence. As you said, probably not the best example. "But that's why I don't go by the rating it has (unless it is so low I'm fairly certain critics wouldn't even touch it with a five foot pole.)." A lot of people have criticised the MAL rating system, saying that it isn't a good representation of the quality of an anime. I agree to some extent, but that sentence of yours pretty much sums up my feelings towards it. |

What i think of GT Eps 1-22 3/10 The rest 8/10 Bad, but the second half was OK and watchable. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

| I suppose Strike Witches is the only series I've seen that qualifies. Ultimate Girls doesn't have that level of fame, so based on what I knew, it looked like it might have had a clever plot that fitted perfectly with its audacious stupidity. (It didn't, but that's another story.) Why Strike Witches? Mainly to see how badly they wasted a good premise (yes, there is potential in "international techno-Magical Girls vs. aliens in alternate WW2"). And, I suppose, to get a cultural reference point (if someone compares something to Strike Witches, I want to know what they mean). |

| I added Guilty Crown to my PTW because I see people hating on it all the time. Honestly, as long as the overall rating is higher than a 7, I'll give it a shot. Even if it's lower, if I'm really interested in the show, I'll watch it. I just have to make informed decisions about what to watch because I don't drop shows, so no matter what, I'm sticking with it. I wouldn't watch Seikon no Qwaser, for instance, because I don't want to put myself through all that when I am so turned off by the premise. If I have even a slight interest in the anime, I'll probably end up watching it eventually. For instance, I've heard that Bleach is awful, but that is not going to stop me from watching it. So basically, I don't deliberately watch anything that I expect will be bad. However, when I'm with friends, anything goes, though not with anime, more with bad movies. For example, I've seen The Room four and a half times. Am I going to be watching it again? You bet. |

I tell ya, its something. I mean Mar od Destruction was bad, The Sailor Moon movies were bad, but at least I was able to laugh at how bad they were. With Guilty Crown though, there really is no laughter, only pain and every cliche ytou can imagaine. |

I think the Sailor Moon partial hentai parody was probably one of the better laughs I've gotten from a bad anime. I warned you the cliches would be terrifying and would never end. I swear Dai had something to do with that show. There are just too many cliches for him not to. |

DrunkenBlowfish said: Perhaps he went back in time and made it, but because he's black he's uncredited. Hmm. I was thinking more along the lines of the possibility that he sent the production studio a copy of one of his terrifyingly cliched stories of crystals and wacky haired anime characters, and they decided they were going to adapt an anime based off these insanely typo'd and poorly written stories. |

| Mars of Destruction is the only "bad" anime everyone needs to watch at least one time in their life just for the completion. Other than that, why put yourself through bad anime on purpose? o.o |

OriginANIME said: Mars of Destruction is the only "bad" anime everyone needs to watch at least one time in their life just for the completion. Other than that, why put yourself through bad anime on purpose? o.o That's why I made this thread; to find out why people intentionally watch anime that they feel they aren't going to enjoy. The common answers are: So they can compare these so called "bad" anime with the "good" to further their appreciation of the best that the medium has to offer (I probably wouldn't have liked Bebop as much if I hadn't watched some of the shit prior to it); Some people just love the "it's so bad, it's good" type of anime; Probably the most common, curiosity. Definitely agree that every user should watch 'Mars of Destruction' at least once. |

| All the time! Don't really care for my rating, so if a flat out silly or overtly contrived anime shows up and it looks like a "so bad it's good" type of piece, I'll watch it for laughs. Bad anime can be a comedic experience that can be unparalleled. |

| i dont watch bad series, only bad ovas since theyre short its just fun to watch with other people |

| Honestly, I'd say most people watched Guilty Crown because there are tons of pics of Inori showing off her inner cleavage. |
| I've watched bad anime out of curiosity of how bad it really is like Odin Phantom Sailer Starlight or something like Aki Sora, because I'm wondering just how far they will go |
