In typical gainax fashion that's when it stops being generic and becomes interesting tho.

For me it was probably Samurai Deeper Kyo. After the halfway point it felt as though the studio had given typewriters to chimpanzees and had them write the show.

The Tekken OVA was pretty cringey too, especially as a fan of the games.
Take care of yourself

The worst anime I've seen is Iya na Kao sare nagara Opantsu Misete Moraitai. (And I usually like ecchi/fanservice.)

Anything that lewds lolis is the cringiest. Or excessively edgy shit like school days and elfen lied.
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

Hellsing (the first one made), my god, hearing the dub first was the cringiest. Also the sub was cringey as well. Dropped it after the first episode.

probably not the cringiest ever but rn I am watching Everyday life with monster girls and the show just keeps progressively getting cringier and trashier. Like the ecchi parts were cringy from the start but the first few episodes were actually kinda funny. Then it just keeps repeating itself and its at the point where I struggle to finish the last 2 episodes. I honestly dont mind ecchi anime... but geez this show has some of the cringiest ecchi scenes I have ever seen

I watched that dumpster fire Musaigen no Phantom World and I can relate to the feeling of not knowing why I finished it. Maybe something between the art style and a concept that had potential.
I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Lucky Star was just ~650 minutes of pure, unadulterated cringe. Everything was painful. Everything made me grimace in rage and embarrassment. Everything fucking sucked.

Grand Blue is supposed to be targeted towards young adults, but it's comedy seems like it's for 10 year olds. Watching as a 13 year old, I can say that anime fans have a cringe inducing sense of humor if they find Grand Blue even remotely funny after 2 episodes because it really does get old quick.

That's a really immature mindset, really, "but it's comedy seems like it's for 10 year olds," it's ultimately subjective, the comedy is "exaggerating everything," exaggerating drinking, etc, a lot of people prefer such comedy, the silly comedy.

It may be an immature mindset, but your statement is also immature. Everything about forms of entertainment is subjective there's no point in stating the obvious. Exaggeration doesn't mean good, that's what made it bad. It doesn't matter what "a lot of people prefer" because I'm talking about what I think.

Actually, you're contradicting yourself. Whilst saying entertainment is subjective, and that that's evident, you tried judging Grand Blue objectively, saying that the comedy is for 10 year olds, so, that sounds as if you're judging it rather objectively, doesn't it? Because you did judge it objectively, and yet again entertainment is subjective. Exaggeration is subjective, you can like it, you can dislike, but you can't say it's "for 10 year olds."

I never said I was judging it objectively, it's your mistake for assuming so. I said it "seems like it's for 10-year-olds" that's my opinion and it's subjective. You obviously don't think it's for 10-year-olds, so how am I contradicting myself?

"Watching as a 13 year old, I can say that anime fans have a cringe inducing sense of humor if they find Grand Blue even remotely funny" Hmm, does it really look like I'm assuming? It straight up seems like you're stating as if it's objective, saying that the people that like it have a "cringe inducing sense of humor," it doesn't sound one bit that you're giving your "opinion." So if you did state it as an opinion, your phrasing was way off, and you're at fault for not rephrasing yourself afterwards.

I literally said "I can say" I was speaking for myself and myself only, making it my opinion. I've never made an objective statement about a show because I only judge things subjectively. You are at fault for thinking something following "I can say" can be anything other than a subjective statement.

You quite possibly are the most ignorant person I've argued with on this site. "I can say" means It's what I am saying, not you, and not other people. While I'm sure some people agree with me, I'm obviously saying this is what I think. It clearly isn't me trying to judge it objectively. And if you think it is you better relook at the meaning of objective before trying to say that what I said isn't a subjective judgement. Objective - "(of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts." I can't see how me saying that I think the comedy is for 10-year-olds and that I think people who find it funny after 2 episodes have a bad sense of humor is judging it objectively "AT ALL"

I find a lot of ecchi genre shit to be a snore fest because it recycles the same tropes uninventively, and never brings anything new to the table. And I don't know, even as a bisexual woman I don't find that much interesting in seeing ill proportioned women with meatsack tits bounding around.

Yet, I like some male anime with midler fanservice that doesn't heavily rely on body part related creepiness. It's not like you see flapping dicks. I don't hate all slapstick or physical comedy as much as I'd say I find the way ecchi as a genre employs such comedy is really exploitative and weird to me. And after awhile it is less gross and more yawn inducing when you've seen it a thousand times before

I haven't even watched dragon maid because while there seems to be redeeming aspects to it, the fandom lewding the loli girl and the spoilers I've read about the big tiddy bitch and the shota boy just turn me off from it from the get go. Even if the relationship between the MC and the dragon girl is cute, why the pedo pandering. Even Musaigen, as trashy as some of the fanservice could be, was not really that offensive because kyoani didn't want to overstep the boundaries. Although with dragon maid I'm assuming the source material had the problem in the first place. Other than that before I knew much about the show I just wasn't really that enthralled by it, because despite being a kyoanifag the first time I heard about it was through memes, and all I can call Dragon Kanna is "inferior Kanna". Because Kanna from Tamako Market exists. And she is the Kanna from Kyoani that matters. I'd rather watch Tamako Market mindlessly meander around prominently because it doesn't have some weird undertones to it. Or Haruhi. Or fuck, even Free! isn't that exploitative. There's something about some of the aspects in dragon maid that deter me from watching it. It's not like it's the worst thing ever but the implications between tiddy goddess (dont know how to spell her name) and the kid is too creepy for my liking and the allegedly precocious nature of that show's Kanna. Even if it's played for laughs I don't find it very funny. If I start watching it and I can get past that for Tohru and Kobayashi might give it a chance but idk. It just seems like kyoani's least appealing show to me personally.

No, you are not obviously saying that that's what YOU think. I've been on the internet for years, and this is the first time I'm seeing someone use "I can say" to imply it's their opinion. Also great job using the word "ignorant" in a case like this, sorry to kill your expectations, I am not one of the most ignorant people on this site.
