Recently my boyfriend and I have been trying to find an anime to watch together that is bad but still enjoyable to watch just because of how bad it is. Unfortunately all of the anime we've tried have just been plain bad. We're trying to find the anime equivalent to The Room if that makes any sense. I don't like horror anime and he doesn't like mecha, so no recommendations in that category unless it is the most perfect recommendation ever. Please help us end our search!!!

I've never seen The Room. Nor do I know if there is a 'so bad, it's good' anime equivalent. So it really depends on what you're looking for outside of that, but the one's that qualify for me are:

Dance with Devils (random singing... the anime lol. The characters randomly break into song and it's funny as hell! I laughed my ass off throughout it! x'D)

Samurai Flamenco (this one is more that it got so ridiculous that it was like watching a train wreck and I couldn't look away lol. Not sure I'd classify it as 'good' but I don't regret watching it so... I guess it counts? It was certainly entertaining for the fact that you had no idea what it was going to do next lol)

Princess Connect! Re:Dive (the derpiness is not to be underestimated lol)

Brave 10 (Kaminosuke Yuri is why this anime was so enjoyable for me.)

And, of course, there's a small HOARDE of isekai that fall into 'so bad it's good' and some of those for me are:

Arifureta (series is absolute trash, but so damn entertaining lol)

Ixion Saga DT (sometimes my humor is like that of a middle schooler. This brought this out in me! x'D)

Maou-sama, Retry! (just the first season though... I loved this series and looked forward to the second season, but it was just pure garbage that needed to be set on FIRE!)

Shinka no Mi: Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei (JUST the first season! The second season was so f*cking terrible I don't think anyone should subject themselves to torture like that. I watched the whole second season... I would know. It haunts me...)

Wo de Yi Jie Zhi Lu (this one is actually a Chinese isekai series. Don't ask me why I like this one as much as I do because I can't even begin to explain. I just do. Plus, their hair moving when there is absolutely no wind cracks me up every time! I have a weird sense of humor... I don't get why I find this funny either x'D)

Maybe self aware comedy or nonsense genres? Like:
Mahoujin Guruguru 2017
Katanagatari
Arakawa Under the bridge

Or anime that isn`t self aware and you can poke jokes at the absurdity of what is there:
Sk8 Infinity
Prince of Stride
https://myanimelist.net/anime/38882/Ryouma_The_Prince_of_Tennis_Shinsei_Movie__Tennis_no_Oujisama (I know you watched the series, but this is a musical with time travel and includes their ridiculous way of playing and beting on tennis)

I've got one, and feel-wise is like Scooby-Doo (It came out the same year, too), Kurenai Sanshiro. It's a fun one if you just want something that's just dodgily produced dumb fun. Definitely not "good", but enjoyably strange. It's also a hell of a lot more watchable than something like Mach GoGoGo, even if that anime is more well known as "so bad it's good".

I didn't know Speed Racer was considered bad, as I don't know anyone who has watched it.

@Lucifrost I'll tell you, it's a fuckin' cursed watch, sub or dub.

The anime equilavent of The Room is probably https://myanimelist.net/anime/413/Hametsu_no_Mars but it has horror

Some other recs

https://myanimelist.net/anime/1351/Angel_Cop
https://myanimelist.net/anime/16774/Inferno_Cop

This list might also help https://myanimelist.net/featured/1918/So_Bad_Its_Good__15_Unintentionally_Funny_Comedy_Anime_

If I were you I would ignore duchessliz87's and Sasori56483's recs btw since they seem to miss the point

I haven't watched The Room to know if it's an equivalent comparison, but Ex-Arm is so poorly produced it's a funny watch for me and my sister.

If you thought Diabolik Lovers was bad in a funny way, you should check out season 2 which in my opinion is even worse. Also Cupid's chocolate which I randomly discovered, I feel like I'm not supposed to like it but I do.
