really? Haven't watched that yet but i heard lots of raves about it. could you kindly state your reason why? :)

For me, it would be, the ONA, Isshoni Sleeping. hehe. definitely not for me. i don't even know why i wasted some of my precious time downloading it. but anyway, it helped me regarding what my dislikes are. :D

Level E. The first two episodes made it look promising, so I kept watching.
But those are hours that I'll never get back.

Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World
By the time it was over i felt like i'd wasted one hour and twenty-four minutes of my life.
Final sequence almost made up for it, but i still felt like i could have watched something better.

Highschool of the Dead - which is also my least favorite anime of all time.

aw, what a shame. i really liked the show. :(

i personally found Canaan to be a huge waste of time. i don't understand how and why i followed the path of not dropping shows for so long.

So in other words,anime that felt like a waste of time to watch?Well for me that translate to if I enjoyed the series (in anyway) or not.
Moretsu Pirates,the 1st pointless anime I watched.
My Devianart

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

Most pointless genre huh...I'd got to give it to the Generic Harem. They're all the same, really. I mean like, the EXACT same. Beta MC, and a set of (usually) five girls who always fell into the same set of tropes. Gotta admit though, I had a little phase where I could not get enough of those.

-Houkago no Pleiades
-Legend of Duo
-Wild Cardz

A couple I dropped quick:

I thought this was about genres?

Anyway, I hate, from least bad to worst:

3. Gore: I just don't get what is so awesome about seeing blood baths, intestines or brains. That is like asking to see someone taking a dump. I have always liked the subtle, killing sword slashes more.

2. Animal/Mechanical Girls: It is really hard for me to care about the psychological/emotional state of a cat or a car, and, call me a weirdo, but for some strange reason, I just don't get turned on by naked dogs or automobiles. To think that Bestiality is so prevalent . . .

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

I'm guilty of that, too. Maybe try watching season two and remind yourself that it's supposed to be about nothing? Makes it more enjoyable in a way.

Yea K-On the moe didn't bother me, what bothered me is the show literally has nothing to do. No character arcs, no drama, no rising action, zero plot even with in the episode it self. They just show up talk about some thing dumb, do a couple cute things, then end of episode oh and some times they throw in a musical number just to justify the music genre tag.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

That won't change the fact that I found the rodent faced characters annoying. There's literally no enjoyment for me in that series. I lasted through seven episodes of pure torture.

Highschool of the dead to me was like "OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING ANIME!" was let down later on down the road. And the special was just horrible. No action or zombies at all.

The most pointless genre for me is definitely none other than hentai! I thought that maybe one would be good, but they are all bad!

As for anime, I try and try to continue watching Bleach. But I just can't bring myself to finishing it.

I'll have to second K-ON for most pointless. Nichijou comes pretty close though, and Kiniro no Corda didn't seem to get anywhere either.

K-On! would be my choice too. I didn't think it was *bad*, but I just watched it to take a break from action/drama anime. Nothing special, not much happened, didn't get attached to the characters, didn't miss it... so, yeah.

It's not that I disliked it, I just thought the ending was bad, the whole thing was building up and then it ends so abruptly without explaining lots of things, by pointless I meant it built up so much for nothing, imo.

i'd say the most pointless genre is mecha-action(i know they are two different things, but generally mecha anime are also action animes so)

most pointless anime... too many to name, but since air was mentioned earlier, i agree air was pointless

Beelzebub anime. I was like, "What is this crap, and what have they done with my precious Beelzebub?"

I like all genres, minus Yaoi.

There are a million threads about anime you hate, and I thought the OP just had bad grammar, so . . .

yeah, k-on.
my main problem beside the moe and cute stuff is the music. I thought it was very underwhelming compared to a lot of other anime that don't even have music as one of their "main" genre listed...
tried to watch 1 episode of the second season but I gave up. the opening also killed me

No, no, no. There are really good ones in this genre, like Blood+. This one is my favorite^^
Though I agree with Twilight. Thats even kinda funny, when you actually see that "sparkling vampire". LOL.

For me it would be Karas. Idk, whatta hell was that? Wait... I haven't finished this one, I dropped it, if I recollect clearly. The most pointless one I completed would be... Candy Boy. I even can't find out why peoplee like this show. The storyline is so boring, art - not something you'd wish for, music - There was something like that?? And the animation itself was poorly done. Well, at least thats how I see this anime.

I did some reserch and was told that 5 centimeters per second was one of the most saddest animes ever made... And since i was looking for sad animes, i gave it at try... And i can tell you, it was boring as hell, and not a single tear left my eye. Mby it's just me, but pure love is just boooring, there needs to be action and humor!!

Another bad anime would be zombie-loan. I liked the story and the thoughts behind the anime, but the drawings was just unwatchable. All characters was pure skinny, with some of the worst lines and shapes. It was a very good story, but the drawings made me just wanting to finish it as fast as possible.
