Hand Shakers, of course. Absolutely horrendous.

Tsui no Sora (2002 hentai) would satisfy your needs.
It's animation literally melted. Animators? What's that?

I distinctly remember recent Shokugeki to have an absolute lack of any animation. Basically just static moving manga panels with lip flaps.

Goblin Slayer was not very well animated all-around. Every single movement just felt off and stiff. Also doesn't help that the art-style did not suit the tone at all.

Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun might be the least animated TV series I've ever seen unless I'm forgetting something. But I surprisingly didn't hate it.

You have no clue what bad animation actually is. Granted, Berserk isn't good, but it's not even remotely close to being the worst.

As for me, I'm going to go with Hanoka.
In part because it was made with Flash, which leads to really jarring presentation.

I have seen uglier anime (like Mars of Destruction), but Hanoka is borderline unwatchable. It may very well make you physically ill, since everything seems to be floating around on the screen, kinda like puppets but not really. It is very disconcerting.

@Nicholaevich is right on the money.

It's quickly becoming an accepted fact that Twinkle Nora Rock Me has objectively the worst animation in the medium.

im not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but devilman's animation is horrible
the movement/expression of characters are sloppily done and the extreme lack of details is noticeable since the first episode
style-wise its not the most inspiring but i give it a pass

This is when you know who knows the differences between animation and art style.

According to who?
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Lately, i've seen it popping up in a lot of different forums and discussions about terrible animation. Kenny Lauderdale's YT channel probably helped spread it 'cause i never heard about it before this year, despite how old it is.
And, i mean...just look at it. Can you really argue against that notion? Putting aside non-Japanese animation as i already mentioned, of course.

Thing is it's just lacking inbetween animation, it's mostly just key frames.
If that's considered bad animation then I guess???

From what I heard Hand Shakers' animation is pretty horrid. Also, the first few episodes of Dragon Ball Super had really really really bad animation.

Can't claim it was the worst, but Evil or Live was pretty damn choppy at times.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

An oddball pick, but the second prequel OVA of the Legend of Galactic Heroes had some really atrocious "animation". There was a lot of low resolution raster images zoomed and panned over with large pixel artifacts everywhere. Not the worst I've seen, but if it was anything other than LoGH, I would not have watched it. It's still one of the few parts of old LoGH that I haven't rewatched (along with Golden Wings, but animation as such wasn't the problem there).

On a serious note, this anime has the objective worst animation of all time. There's no competition. (You don't have to understand what he says, just look at it and you'll see)

Don't know if I can call it the worst, but Aku no Hana has the creepiest art and animation I've ever seen. Despite how smooth it was, the rotoscope didn't translate well at all.

Some people call that art. But I agree with you, I hate yuasa animation, all the characters are ugly and they move like flubber. I dare him to animate some detailed looking characters like JoJo or SnK anime.

Kenja no fucking Mago. In the first episode he gets in a stance and then it's as if the animators just dragged him around with a mouse and put "air jet" effects under his feet. There are much worse offenders but I'm currently watching this and I'm astounded by how bad it is.

I just recently watched Hanoka and let me tell, you're not wrong at all. Every movement felt stiff and unnatural.

As a fan of the orginal animations, i must say i really dislike Ryo's redesign in Crybaby. It's too creepy, meanwhile the original, despite being a little bit creepy, was also appealing, which explain why most people, Akira included, trust him.

But i tend to like Yuasa's visual work, specially in Kaiba, his best anime. And no matter how good looking your anime can be, you can still be shit *cough, Guilty Crown, cough*

Kaiba works because the characters don't have to look human and the environment is kinda alien, it's the only yuasa animation work that I like.
Guilty Crown was so lame, the only good points were Hare and the wheelchair girl, which is too little for an anime with that visuals and ost and everything.

I figured the worst animation is where there is none at all.

yes, however Shokugeki's is still visually tame. When the faces become distorted, hands don't move in natural ways and things like that, that's some horrible ass animation

CGI dosen't count, everyone brings up just CGI show's, good job community.

Well, Ladyspo, shoud counts as horrible, on a level that's it's shoud not even been called a anime.

KimiKiss Pure Rouge got really horrible backgrounds, it just look cheap = the characters dosen't even fit in.

Tsuki ga Kirei the whole show just looks like shit.
If we go back 19 years in time, we can find animes that came out the 20th that got better animation and character design then this show.
