| what about C ? |
| Didn't watch too many new anime this year but I've dropped a few after or during the premier episode such as Blood-C which I've successfully forgotten about. |
| Everyone hates what I like... Anyway, my least favorite would have to be Blood C. |
Nichibotsu-kaeru said: what about C ? That was just terribly disappointing, which in a way is worse. At least it wasn't as disappointing as Fractale. IllegalCyrus said: Only 2 series on the top of my head. Guilty Crown Anohana It's funny because everyone loves that show. Actually, I think I'm saying Penguindrum, nope, it doesn't deserve it at all, but I hated it slightly more every time someone said the words "Ikuhara you magnificent bastard", "best anime of the decade" or "The symbolism is so deep!", if I took 0.1 from the rating every time I heard those lines or similar ones, it'd lose 4 ratings. Just as well I didn't. |
| Blood C was an utter disappointment. must cleanse this shit w/ holy water Never watched rio gate but majority said its just terrible. idolmaster was just boring. could not continue on after the 3rd episode. -starting too look bad: 1. Shakugan no shana....im trying to ponder what happened that sparked my interest in the other series. 2. guilty crown WAS pretty good. now its turning into a mess which can be fixed tho. 3. hate to admit it but mirai nikki is getting from really good to good. its just feels hastened and idk if its because ik the entire plot. hopefully it doesnt turn into "decent" thank god next season is gonna have nisemonogatari. in the meantime nichijou is keepin ma spirit up. |
| this is my god damn signature. |
| Sengoku Otome: Time Paradox - Try comparing that to Sengoku Basara (nuff said) Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon - Boring, confusing and really terrible |
| How come nobody mentioned Uta no Prince sama? Also, voting for Senjou no Horizon. |
| I'm so surprised Copihan hasn't come up yet. That was this year right? Or perhaps no one even knows this anime lulz. This is THE worst anime this year hands down. It's miles beyond all the other titles mentioned here. You would usually disregard 5-minute animes, but this one was just so horrible, even every 5 minutes seemed like wasting hours of your life. It was more radio than anime. In some episodes, they actually recycled images, as still pictures, within the same 5 minutes. The general dessin was horrific. The whole "near-future" setting was just plain meaningless. This whole project was incomprehensible. I find it extremely difficult to figure out why they planned to do this in the first place. |

| Dantalian no Shoka Freezing Blood-C Dragon Crisis Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi Kamisama no Memochou |
| -Maken ki (Even though it's not finished, I already know where this show is headed.) -un-go -blood-c Those are the only 3 that come to mind. |
 Another Sig WIP |
| Guilty Crown (my clearly biased opinion). |
| Double-J. Good thing it was a short series. |
| Blood C ! worst anime for this year! |
 |
| hoshizora, no doubt, its everything wrong with ecchi rip off shows all jam packed into 11 episodes of dread, then is hidan no aria, and then 3rd worst i guilty crown cause i havent seen to many shows this year and hoshizora and hidan were the only bad ones |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Maken-Ki! , Kämpfer, Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! -- All these animes for the same reason, that their only purpose was to show the ecchi aspects at the cost of everything else. Ecchi stuff fine and easy to ignore as long as there are other things you can focus on like the world, action and so on. These are just simple stuff and *not anything deep. When compared these, I thought Freezing was much better -- didn't had lots of pointless episodes, world was consistent, plenty of decent action and so on. |

But ECCHI is a genre of anime itself and can be, just like every other genre, the main aspect of a show. Being deep is optional and not a requirement in the world of anime or entertainment. Also Kämpfer was 2009. |

Also Kämpfer was 2009. Regarding Kampfer , I got confused by the dates of the two new episodes . I was not really expecting anything deep, I forgot to put "NOT" before "anything deep" in my sentence - "These are just simple stuff and anything deep" .... my bad. Like I was trying to say , I was not expecting anything deep, just simple stuff. How would you define a good echhi anime --- by how much "private areas" it shows ? I define a good one by presence of other stuff like comedy, purpose, action etc. These anime failed in all these aspects. I gave an example of freezing which I thought was ok/good. |

| Well, since I haven't seen Guilty Crown, my worst is Itsuka Temna no Kuro Usagi. -_-' Only reason I kept going was because of Gekkou (since I have a thing for Yuuichi Nakamura characters), Izumi (the most AWESOME girl on that whole show since she brought some comedy), and Mirai (...what? So she's adorable compared to that clingy, most cliche b**** vampire Himea -sorry, I just hate her- and the too-sweet-for-her-own-good Haruka, and I love her character song!). |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Manyuu Hikenchou. The first ever case I've had of an anime actually making me nauseous, all because of ridiculous-sized knockers. |
| While something like Kamisama no Memochou or [C] was pretty mediocre and also disappointing, it really wasn't THAT bad imho (I just expected something different..) My vote goes to Hidan no Aria, that show sucked badly! (I have yet to catch up with a lot of new anime, however, I don't think they'll change my voting..) |

| I'm glad everybody's panning Deadman Wonderland, but this thread really needs more Fractale hate. Honestly, I can't believe half of the shit that got on Noitamina this year. Blood-C actually sounds awful (and oddly nihilistic) enough for me to enjoy watching a streamlined version of it. |
 |
| Definitely Manyuu. Haven't facepalmed so much, while watching something, for quite some time. |
| Guilty crown Ao no exorcist C Infinite stratos. |
parul said: How would you define a good echhi anime --- by how much "private areas" it shows ? I define a good one by presence of other stuff like comedy, purpose, action etc. If you are defining good ecchi by stuff that is not ecchi then you aren't actually commenting on the ecchi content. Good ecchi to me would have interesting camera angles, attractive characters, well-timed sexual innuendo, a couple of strong go-to gimmicks, and possibly some nudity.The amount of ecchi can vary but if a show is an adaptation of a majorly ecchi work then I expect the anime to match the level of ecchi found in the original work. |

We are not judging ecchi aspects but an echhi anime. There is a slight difference as we need to judge the impact of the anime as a whole and only limit ourselves to certain bits. While it is interesting to your criteria I certainly cannot agree with it. To me, the things you mention will only take a decent sized anime (10+ ) so far ... before it becomes repetitive and tiresome. Hence most of these anime add other dimensions, but that becomes their downfall as they ignore the quality while doing so. Also, feel that most of the stuff you mentioned can only work in a broader context. For example , camera shot of panty under skirt while good of handled delicately, feels too forced in most of these animes as they show it at every chance they get, like even when two characters are talking. Or when a character , no matter how beautiful gets too annoying , it will only make the anime difficult to watch. Or when any innuendo doesn't goes with the flow or theme and so on. In short , what I mean to say is for various reasons ecchi stuff needs other aspects and it needs to gel along with these aspects. Most of the time they don't. |

| Interesting culture gap. Guilty Crown is probably one of the best received animes in Japan this year so far. It's probably related to why many foreign nations tend to not like Evangelion, but for Japan, it's risen to a social phenomenon. I mean, I'm really interested in what the definition of "awful character" is. For instance, many Americans say Evangelion is bad, because Shinji is a weasel, but Shinji being a weasel shouldn't make Evangelion a "bad anime." There's never been a necessity for all characters to act like American heroes. It's probably the same with Shuu in Guilty Crown isn't it? And as stated, the animation and music is awesome anyway. Shuu and Shinji both react to their given situation rather realistically in my opinion. I don't see why that should make this a bad anime. In essence, disliking Shinji or Shuu or any other character shouldn't mean disliking the anime as a whole. |

shadowtsunami said: Karhu said: -- . . . Mirai Nikki is worst directed anime from what I've seen. The manga was fine, anime adaption is disgrace to the title. Huh not what I've seen or read from others. It seems they are doing the adaptation fine well at least from what a majority of people are saying. I've looked at screenshot comparison of the manga and anime but I didn't see any major differences. I'm talking about direction and overall execution, you are comparing outlooks. And that's not even true about the outlooks, the anime is pretty much censored and casual when comparing to the manga. Majority of people are ignorant to begin with, just following the main stream is worst decision to make for people who has brains and self-respect. At least one of your friends gave it 1/10. ap19 said: Interesting culture gap. Guilty Crown is probably one of the best received animes in Japan this year so far.

Vanisher said: And IS sold a lot this year and its still pure shit , popular =/= good. that doesnt mean anything , guilty crown is horrible and shu isnt the only reason. See, I want those reasons please. Anime BD sales and popularity don't go hand in hand, at least from the Japanese perspective, just saying. We know people don't buy anime BDs and merchandise because that anime is necessarily good, moreso than they are infatuated with the characters and such. I mean, there's significantly a lot more effort put into Guilty Crown just from looking at the credits. The animation is undoubtedly good, or better than most. The rest of the elements have a relatively larger preference deviation, but I can't see why it goes as far down as horrible for people here. I don't see Guilty Crown in line with IS or Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon etc. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying thinking any anime is horrible is wrong. I just want to know the reasons, for critical understanding. These sorts of global differences should be becoming more important for Japanese people these days, on any subject. EDIT: I read through the Guilty Crown discussion section. It looks sorta centered on the disdain towards Shu, but I get the jist of it now. @Karhu thanks for that. |

| Guilty Crown and Sacred Seven were such letdowns. Was Fractale from this year? I can't even remember. All I know is that was also a HUGE letdown... fucking hell. I shouldn't even get my hopes up for anything anymore, they always turn out to be letdowns. Ah. Iroha wasnt the worst of the year, but that was also a really damn annoying show and it was, yep, a huge letdown. |

We know people don't buy anime BDs and merchandise because that anime is necessarily good, moreso than they are infatuated with the characters and such. That's not a very good explanation. Why didn't the BD buyers get "infatuated with the characters" of Mayo Chiki or Fractale, for example? If there is a difference between their sales, the buyers must have perceived some difference in their quality, even if it's a different definition of ours, more focused on characters. Though no, that's not a very good explanation either; after all, western fans also dislike shows because "the characters are boring", and would name one of their top reasons for liking something's writing quality, as "it has interesting characters". |

| I havent watched a lot of shows that came out this year but I can say that Yumekui Merry is the worst anime ive ever seen and it came out this year so I guess it counts. This is just my opinion btw so if your a fan of the show dont get all butthurt please. |

I didn't find Guilty Crown amazingly original or anyting . . . for me nothing was this year except maybe Fractale but it kind of fizzled. . . but I am finding it enjoyable.

I'm finding Tsutsugami, Gai a fairly interesting character to watch unfold but then I had a crush on Alex Row of the original Last Exile.
