Any else see some good anime that doesn't have that good of a animation to it, while there are bad animes with a good animation quality.
As in good anime I don't mean mainstream anime that has both good animation and story

Kotonoha no Niwa has the best animation I have seen in a anime, but the story if it wasn't that good, a kid who likes making shoes falling in love with a teacher who is 15 years older then him

First thing that comes to mind when thinking good anime but bad animation is Welcome to the NHK. Especially in Ep 4, that looked awful the entire time.

Good anime, bad animation...Uhh...Dated animation? I dunno. It's hard for me to see what bad animation actually is since it's not too heavy of a factor for me. Any anime with badly rendered 3D CGI implemented I guess...Maybe Arpeggio of Blue Steel, but the animation wasn't that bad IMO...

But bad anime with good animation? Aren't there like a whole bunch of those?

Turn A Gundam is a nice Gundam show with a likable cast and a good plot, but mostly horribly dated animation that was dated even for its time with a few moments they actually go on per with its era.

Haruhi Second Season has some stellar animation and visuals by Kyoto Animation, but the Endless 8 is frustratingly boring, and the Sign arc does irrrprible damage to the integrity of both Haruhi (the character) and Haruhi (the show due to the arc's gaping plot holes).

One of my favorite anime of all time, Fantastic Children, is an example of a stunningly-great series with terrible artwork. The art does get a noticeable bump up during the 4-episode-long flashback sequence (and how!), but the rest of the time, the character designs look really derpy. Which is a shame, because it has easily one of the best (if not THE best) storylines in all of anime.

Good anime bad animation: KareKano. It was fine during the first few episodes, but after a while it literally turned into a slideshow. Sasuga Gainax.

Man, Kare Kano did this 17 years ago, but at least Gainax had the excuse of having about a buck fiddy to finish the episode with.

The fight scenes and the Vertical Maneuvering sequences were the only times when the animation was any good in Attack on Titan. The rest of the times, it tried to cut corners as much as possible, with several still frames and slideshows.

I guess you can tell where the studio spent their budget when a show like guilty crown is stunning in animation and music, but the dialogue and plot are complete garbage (I love guilty crown though xD).
The same goes for anime like Angel beats or SAO.

Based on my understanding of the usual anime-making process, money on plot and dialogue has to be spent while making the manga/light novel. It cannot be taken from animation budget, because until manga/LN happens, there would be no anime.
Light novels seem like the author has more time to come up with good plot and dialogue, but light novels are harder to translate to anime, because of different way time flows there.
Manga has it really tough - the authors have to write dialogue and draw all those pictures weekly or monthly, and anime depicts them (the manga authors) always facing deadlines, not working ahead of time. Fortunately, manga is easy to translate to anime (looks at Kareshi to Kanojo no Jijou, which looks too much like a manga).
Anyway, capitalist nature of modern writing seems to push the authors away from doing research, good planning or other ways to make their work better.

I don't think Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis is notably bad. It's an excellent action/adventure anime, with fast pacing and epicness that put many slower anime to shame. They did save the world in 12 episodes, unlike all those anime that had to make an anime-original ending because the story in the end was pretty much in the same place as in the beginning.

Good animation - bad anime:
Kimi no Todoke S2
SAO
Kabaneri
Overlord
Musaigen no Phantom World... There are actually a lot of bad animu with good animation lol

Bad animation - Good anime:
Hajime no Ippo S1, Didn't really have bad animation but I wouldn't really consider it good either except one scene.
KonoSuba - it's just eh animation-wise (though I do think it fits the show well)
Oregairu S1 (I think the animation was bad... or was it the art? well whateves lol)

I personally don't agree with Gintama's high rating, Most Gintama fans tend to think that it's a masterpiece and does everything right, Sadly that's not true and comedy is the only thing it's good at, and the comedy is fantastic. But everything else of Gintama's is mediocre to bad. Anywayz, as for why you don't find it funny, welp. Comedy and enjoyment are the most subjective things ever, If you don't find it funny then you probably never will. Even if it is funny, it's just not for you. Though I also didn't find it funny till like episode 40 and it bored me to death before it. (Yes, I'm a masochist and a completionist when it comes to animu) But it's currently one of my favs.

Will second this. If not for the stunning art there's not much of a reason to watch Kotonoha no Niwa, IMO. It just gets completely carried by the art.

The same can be said for Redline. The story is laughably bad, with stupid aspects thrown in just because - but none of that matters because you're just focused on the God-tier animation side of it. It doesn't matter about the shoehorned 'romance' or the random mafia that shows up halfway through the race, because they just end up as more fuel for the eyegasms when explosions and other shit happens.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

That sao troll lel. While there weren't many things in dbz that u would like , there weren't many thing u would hate either. Sao was just pure trash even the characters weren't likeable. The fights and music were amazing. I also liked how toriyama built a story in each arc. By that I mean the different events , battles , and deaths leading to some epic final fights this was something that toriyama did perfectly in all three sagas. He dragged each arc on and on but it was very well done.

Berserk has bad animation(not visuals) but it's a pretty fantastic show.

There is a lot of bad shows that have good visuals. Could list anyone of them, but I'm saying ERASED cause fuck ERASED forwards and backwards.

Most of them are good. Kuuchuu Buranko is good, Aku no Hana, Kemonozume, Ping Pong... I don't think they're bad, while others would because they aren't used to watching anime with "off" animation and are quick to judge solely on the animation style rather than the plot itself. Once you immerse yourself in the world of bad animation, you'll find you like it. 9/10 anime with modern animation I watch are not exceptionally great or anything, most of them being boring as crap.

Bad Anime with Good Animation:

Corpse Party - I know people like this anime but I didn't. I thought it was nicely animated but everything else sucked to me.

Demon of Steel: Battle of the Great Demon Beasts - Another old OVA with great visuals and shitty writing.

Doomed Megalopolis - Mad House can make the biggest piece of shit look great.

Legend of Lemnear - This anime has very pretty visuals and great detail for a title that came out in the 1987. Too bad this anime sucks.

Good anime with Bad Animation:

Inferno Cop - Not sure if this one counts or not. The show looks like a animated show from Adult Swim but the show itself is awesome.

Legends of the Dark King - The animation didn't look that great in 2008 but I thought it was a good show.

Well Inferno Cop is one of the few shows that walks the thin line of pure trash and ingenius masterpiece. Trigger ethier save/ruin anime.
