Bottom of the barrel garbage with little to no redeemable qualities. Perhaps you decided not to drop this anime, but then wondered why you didn't after the last episode reminded you how shit it really was.

I'll start, School Days

Characters: Literally all 1 track minded nymphos from the uncharismatic and underwhelming MC to the females that he goes on to smash one after the other for absolutely no reason other than, it's a harem but in this harem, the MC must get all da hoes.

Plot:

Objectivity in a subjective medium is a near-impossible concept, but I think just about anyone can agree that there's an exception to this.. called Mars of Destruction. It's not just the shittiest anime, but in fact the worst thing I've ever seen. However, I would happily rewatch it with friends just to laugh at how atrociously bad it is. It's only 20 minutes long, after all xD

It does kind of sound weird but I added the objectively just to try to make sure the focus was on anime that were actually terrible, and not just semi-bad popular anime that are overrated.

I do remember watching that with friends and just about dying laughing.

Maybe Mars of Destruction was an experiment to see what they could produce off of like, 100 dollars?

I wouldn't be surprised. Everything about it was pathetic, minus the soundtrack. Beethoven and Erik Satie did a fantastic job after all. :P

Objectively speaking?
Mmmm from the maximum level of criticism i can reach and by shoving aside my pet peeves with the show it would be Toradora.
The characters are nuclear toxic waste evil and no person on the world should ever try to emulate their actions even to a small degree.

Yeah this isn’t at all an objective topic >_> good and bad are entirely subjective.

In my opinion the worst anime I’ve seen are School Days and Elfen Lied tho.

And Ami was the only evil person. A lot of people could stand to benefit from being more like Ryuuji.

ao no exorcist. its filled with typical generic shounen characters where each has his little trope that we all have seen before "Hey im the passive aggressive dude that always yells. I pretend like I hate you but in reality you are my rival and you push and motivate me to reach greater strengths." None of the characters have any real depths and you don't really give a single shit about them.

The main characters are just a catastrophe. The story is the most underwhelming thing I have ever seen. Nothing happens and when something happens its extremely boring. There was not a single moment where I cared about anything that was happening.

There is not a single good thing about this show for me. I hated it.

I second that, from an objective standpoint Nami is the worst I've seen so far because it's just a stop-motion sequence of simple photographs.

Either Glasslip or Big order both for different reasons.

In glasslip just nothing happens and when i say nothing i absolutely mean nothing, like watching paint dry.
Big order is probably the biggest clusterfuck in history, had enough after 2 episodes.

Agreed. People are way too quick to hate on it for no good reason (other than its popularity, I suppose). I wouldn't even consider Ami to have been "evil" in the first place, and she showed an exceptional amount of growth by the end of the show.

I think you just misunderstand how non-objective this matter is. You cannot a dress this objectively in any form. Your complain about Nami is an example, you say it’s objectivel bad because it’s just a sequence of photographs, but that’s still just your opinion. Someone else could find that good.

Not even murdering someone, something I think most people can agree is bad, is truely “objectively” bad.

All opinion man. Very few things can really be talked about objectively.

Never watch it, but I heard the production's gotten so bad the animators literally cried for help in the ED credit. That's probably the best (or worst, I guess) example of "objectively bad" I could think of.

outside of bottom tier specials made by some guy in his lunch break like the code geass flash specials or owari no chronicle, probably Shuffle Memories.. it's a gosh darned 12 episode clip show of a bad adaptation of a bad visual novel

aki no puzzle is also a good contender.. it's a 6 minute short you can afford to do a quick google and watch it ;) good luck. this anime is so bad it's virtually unwatchable

also lmao@not understanding school days

Objectively, I'd say Pupa and King's Game.

There are lots of reasons to hate Pupa; the episodes are way too short, there's little to no time to bond with the characters, the art and animation may be unappealing to some, the characters beside the main ones were hardly memorable because they were hardly around, and etc.

Even though I don't dislike King's Game in the slightest, there are problems with the animation and art that even very tolerant anime watchers can notice and (possibly) be bothered by, the character designs are basically what you'd find in most anime, the characters themselves were either unlikable or lacked a personality, and some scenes are so ridiculously funny and bloody that it can hardly be considered horror.

Subjectively, I'd say Pupa and then Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody. Death March isn't horrible but the other anime on my list make it seem rather boring and not worth the time. I honestly prefer King's Game over both of them though, lol.

Ousama Game. I mean I heard worse like My Sister, My Writer but I haven't watched it (and I already knew that anime was gonna bomb considering the Masou Gauken HxH director was responsible for this so..)

Anyways, Ousama Game is the worst is because well, simple the story is crap, the characters are so unlikable to the point they're like Saturday morning villians than anything else, the art/animation is atrocious, may I say more?

I find most complaints about Toradora to be super groundless. The worst is when people call Taiga a tsunder or act like she’s some extremely abusive b——. Like did you only watch the first episode sword attack and drop it from there? She spends far more time trying to help her friends than being mean.

To be honest though that’s the case for almost all hate I see on these forums. I’d wager more often than not people haven’t finished the shows they hate on. Obviously there’s some exceptions.

As for Ami;

Well first of all, I wouldn't compare Ping Pong to Mushishi. They serve entirely different purposes as works of art. Both anime are favorites of mine, but for very different reasons. It's one thing to not enjoy the iyashikei genre, and that's by all means perfectly fine, but to claim that Mushishi is bad (and in a thread asking about objectively bad anime).

Excuse me? You don't believe it or you don't understand it? It looks like you secretly already realized that things actually happened, but you didn't understood them so you had to pretend that nothing happened.

I would say at least you tried, but since Glasslip is not even that deep to begin with then I'm not quite sure if you actually tried or you're just that slow.

For me it's a two-way tie between Pupa and Conception. They just fail on every level — premise is horrible, and it's badly executed in both cases.

On a different note, I really don't get why people think School Days is bad at all. It manages to avoid the usual pitfalls of the harem genre. I liked it, though I normally detest harem shows.

School Days is shit for multiple reasons.

Zero character development

Meh for the time period art and the gray tone that was just depressing to look at

Easy-to-hate MC who just fucks whatever girl his dick points him to, one girl to the next with no logical setup for this happening

And of course, that terrible ending that had nothing going for it but attempted shock value.

I could go on but I think the School Days reviews will do a better job.

Pupa, about everything about this show is shit, characters, plot, animation, etc.
As bas as mars of destruction and skelter heaven is, there wasn't anything to make me hate it, they were below what you call averagely bad.
