Are there any anime you liked or loved despite it having mediocre animation with tons of off-model scenes or overall a lackluster animation?

IIRC people complained a lot about Hanako-kun's animation. I loved the show and noticed no major problems. Looking forward to the next season which I thought we'd never get.

The way of the house husband is more of a narrated manga than anything.
Bjt apparently season 2 got real movement. Didn't watch that yet.

Has to be Hoshi no Samidare. Calling the animation bad is generous

My absolute favorite anime with bad animation is Baraou no Souretsu. Very little animation (definitely not enough budget for 24 episodes), but I loved the dark and shoujo-esque aesthetics.

Last season's Human Bug Daigaku was pretty interesting too, despite being quite ugly and having less animation than some visual novels.

Haibane Renmei has terrible animation. You can tell they had barely any budget to work with. That doesn’t mean that it’s any less of a masterpiece ^.^

Maybe Space Brothers or Kemono Friends, but the aesthetic of Kemono Friends really grew on me, so I wouldn't actually consider it bad. Space Brothers just had completely average and flat animation all the way through, despite how amazing the story was. I don't know if there was a single cut of particularly good animation. That's what I've got off the top of my head, but there are probably others if I check my list.

Hokuto no Ken is a slide show that loves to reuse stock footage (I mean it was the 80s what can I say), but it's still thrilling to watch.

Gokushufudou was so fucking hilarious and even with the limited animation it still really was able to bring off its comedy rather well. Would highly reccomend

I wouldn’t say it has.. the worst animation ever, but a lot of Precure seasons can look a bit funky. The curse of having a new episode every week for practically 20 years

Backstreet Girls. Everyone hates on it so much because it's limited and crude but because it's a comedy and quick paced it works so much better then if it had a more generic functional animation to it.

It doesn't have much animation but it honestly has more character in it's art and style then most modern anime for sure.

Absolutely, it's not about the quality it's about the principle.
and my principle is follow the bikini armor wherever it may be.

Kemono Friends and Märchen Mädchen.

In Kemono Friends' case, that "bad" animation kinda has its own charm.

Favorite is a really strong word Lol

But I really enjoyed Tamayomi even if the animation wasn't the best 

No irritating anime males to spoil my fun. Only cute girls and strong Yuri vibes 

Most importantly for my enjoyment. The lesbians were constantly touching each other,,,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  

It was gay and fun =) 

Yoshino was my favorite lesbian and even forced herself on another girl,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

KareKano continues to somehow work even when they run out of animation budget entirely and have an episode of paper cut-outs. Kodocha and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei also do wonders with quite limited animation.

In fact it's the only anime that's faithfully recreated his erotic and oily female design, none of the other anime ever done that not even ghost in the shell.

The 1st season of Higurashi does not stand out for its animation quality.

Take one shot for every off model you see.

Inuyashiki maybe. People love to shit on the CGI. But the story was great.

Also Kumo desu-ga. Now this was a real shit show with real shit CGI. Also shit characters, and ok story. 
But I really love the spider, so it's alright.

Detroit Metal City’s animation is limited and stiff and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Trigun also has its moments, but it looks good when it needs to.

The first season of Higurashi doesn't look all that well, howver the amazing story makes it easy to ignore that problem.
I think Kagewani is pretty decent despite all.
Chitose get you!! is another short show that get trashed for it's animation that I found quite enjoyable.

DearS - it has submissive girls in it. Slave romance rather than hentai, kind of. One of its kind as far as I know. Animation is bad for 2004 standards.

There are also animation flaws in Grendizer, Speed Racer, Space Captain Herlock but these are very old shows. Back in the days they all probably looked like that. However bad shows of that era are long forgotten, most of them not all of them. Those that are not forgotten, are remembered for good characters and story.

Kaiji only has unique unconventional art style. Its animation is actually good.

Tatamy Galaxy is half way between unique art style and ugly.

HIS AND HER CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD BE REGARDED AS A ROMANCE ANIME MUST IF THE ANIMATION WASN'T CUTOUTS ON A STICK. SERIOUSLY THE STUDIO DID AN ENTIRE EPISODE WITH CHARACBTER CUT OUTS ON A STICK. GREAT SHOW CRAP ANIMATION.
