WeisserSchnee2 said: WatchTillTandava said: Going solely based on what was the most frustrating to watch, probably the second season of Spice and Wolf. How to take a good first season and a great promising premise and shoot it to shit in no time. I don't believe I rated a show watched this year lower. A pretty intersting opinion because Spice and Wolf S2 is my favorite example for a second season which is exactly as awesome as the first season Like with many things, I can see why someone would like it even if I personally was very frustrated with it and scored it low. It's not without its redeeming features. I enjoyed the introduction to the bird deity and more scenes of navigating medieval town marketplaces and life, but I found three aspects very poor, which were the formulaic arc structure which made every side character feel like a shallow and flat plot device with invented drama that was uninteresting, repetitive dialogue that didn't advance the main characters' individual personas or relationship well from the first season, and the non-ending. That said, I still love the idea behind the show and would welcome a third season, but would really like to see it veer away from that predictable pattern of storytelling and into some more dynamic characterization. |

| Sarazanmai; it was really, really disgusting. I’ve watched all of Ikuhara’s other shows to completion, but this oneーbig nope! I had to take a day off from watching anime because I was grossed out. |

| I will have to go with Joshikausei. Fucking awful design idea. Whoever thought having a mute show in 2019 was somehow a good concept? I guess it's "original" but other than that there is absolutely no point to it. The characters become pointless and incredibly shallow, it's near impossible to write any sort of story and even mere gags barely work. It's basically just putting a massive handicap over every imaginable kind of writing one might want to try for every individual scene It just goes to show that some ideas remain untested and ignored for a reason. There is simply no point in ever doing an anime like this. I mean seriously how would one write a TV-series without any sort of dialogue and expect it to turn out well? Sure there have been some more philosophical shortfilms that have been done like that in the past but this was a damn schoolgirl comedy show! It just doesn't work lol |

| I've watched some 'bad' shows this year but I still found them to be somewhat enjoyable. And then there's that thing called Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken. I hate this anime and I hate me for forcing myself to finish that thing. |
 |
| Carol and Saturday. Seriously. I might be the worst series that I've ever watched. But that was expected, Netflix original 'progressive' series directed by Watanabe couldn't be different. |

| If we are talking about the shows that aired this year. I'm gonna go with Ari. The characters in the show are utter nobodies, the "isekai" stuff means nothing if we don't how they got summoned (and no ppl the OP doesn't count). MC is just a generic edgelord OP character because reasons. And the CGI well I think that speaks for itself. Completed that goes to Domestic na Kanajo, I'm gonna try must best to figure out about this show. MC is pretty much wishy-washy onto who to chose..... Anything else? Meh. |
| Tate no yuusha ~ started good but dropped around ep. 6. No matter how much of Naofumi`s seiyuu fan I am just can`t take this anime seriously, I`m still reading the manga though since its better. |
| No Game No Life. It wasn't bad just...disappointing. (Yes, I sound like a passive-aggressive mom) |

| Domestic na Kanojo is everything I fucking hate about romance/drama anime intensified. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| As in completed? Probably Mob Psycho S2 because it was disappointing. The animation was good but the fights were anticlimactic and the themes of the show felt particularly childish. |

| God Eater, I was really hyped to watch it and it ended up being really disappointing due to the fact it didn't have any real story or explanation for anything, things would just happen without context randomly. Pretty awesome character design and interesting art style/animation though. |
 |
| Gunjou no Magmel, it was ugly from the start but there were some interesting themes. Then it stagnated, the plot didn't go anywhere and there was just episodic stuff that wasn't interesting. Then for maybe 3 last eps the story suddenly picked up out of nowhere, but the anime got even worse cause the story sucked. The main villain was just boring and cliche, the emotional impact wasn't there at all, it felt unnecessary violent like just violence to add some edginess. |

| Smash Hit is low hanging fruit, so I'll go with Majutsushi Orphen. Visually it looks good as a 90's series but most of it was about as fun as watching paint dry. A shame considering that a truly worthwhile story was buried deep within it. Hopefully the remake can better draw that out. |

If it is harem trash then I might skip it...No Game No Life. It wasn't bad just...disappointing. (Yes, I sound like a passive-aggressive mom) I wouldn't call it bad. It's just that most of the anime I've personally seen this year have been really great. No Game No Life is just more hit-and-miss. And the fanservice was really annoying to me. It's actually a pretty fun show. Very self-aware, too. I think I just had high expectations after seeing all the praise it gets, as you mentioned. |

| Ayashi no Ceres, it had so much potential. But the series was so slow paced and it was so hard to connect with the characters I honestly already forgot what its about, only thing I remember was taking ages to finish it. |

| OPM S2 disappoints me, but is still enjoyable compared to Shield Hero and BEM. |
| Rising of the shield hero and the Slime one. Both series start really strong, but fall off a cliff about a third of the way through. It took me until around 70% of the shows' runs to realise I was bored out of my mind and was fast-forwarding them. The slime one really got me as well. Actually kind of offended by it. |

| Urda. oh god was that an abomination. bad voice acting, bad animation. it was just so terrible. im so glad it was 6 minutes per episode. tho ngl it felt like an hour passed when watching. |
| I haven't watched much anime so I haven't seen any actual terrible shows, but I watched No Game No Life, which was okay, but SEVERELY overrated |
| The first episode of an anime called Bem. It was so bad I couldn't continue any further, and it has to be the most vacuous, cliched thing EVER. |
| going by shows that aired this year - kyochuu rettou, followed somewhat closely by joshikausei. enen no shouboutai has potential though to join the bottom three. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| There hasn't been any anime from previous years that I have watched this 2019 that I particularly disliked, tbh. Now, if we talk about shows that have aired this year, either Shield Hero or Gunjou no Magmell. The first was a mess, the characters were either boring or uninteresting (the three heroines being a prime example), with only the slavemaster being a bit good (and he appears at best in 3 or 4 episodes), the story was stalled in the first half, taking time in side quests, and the second hald was equally boring, with the part of the CGI chickens being especially horrible. The antagonists are either bastard nobles straight out of Akame ga Kill or are incompetent fools that would make the Team Rocket from Pokemon look like Light Yagami. The show tried to make me hate Myne, but I found her ridiculous and hilarious instead and It didn't helped that the series couldn't decide if Naofumi was an antihero or just a normal hero with a jerky side. The three other heroes were patethic, with their whole existence being make Naofumi look like Jesus towards everyone, and considering that Ren and Itsuki were at first portrayed as jerks with some common sense, that, by the end of the series, end being no better than Motoyasu, it's very sad. Its only saving grace is that the last arc at least looked kinda interesting with the new characters introduced, but, sadly, it was too late to save the anime. Respecting Magmell, though the synopsis at first sounded interesting, it quickly devolved into a boring episodic show with an unlikeable, cocky main character and poor worldbuilding. Even though they tease a bit some plot regarding the past of the main character, it doesn't goes anywhere. It seems that the producers realized that they needed some kind of plot to spice things up, so they introduced a sudden serious plotline for the last three episodes, but it ended being as bad as the previous ones. I also hated a lot the episode where the main character and his loli extort and blackmail the shop owner. It felt so gratuitous and the show tried hard to make the shop owner come as a idiotic buffoon who deserves everything that happens to him, when he's just a man trying to live his life in peace and didn't do anything remotely wrong to deserve that, making him sympathetic and the main characters a bunch of assholes. If they wanted me to laugh, they failed hard. I think that's the reason why I consider Magmell a bit worse than Shield Hero, since that one, despite its flaws, at least tried something. Maou-sama, Retry! is a solid contender for the title, however, but I will wait a bit till its end to properly judge (though I don't think its going to improve much). Also, even though technically, it aired in 2018, the new season of Fairy Tail has been absolute trash. It's not only that the plot is awful, but the visuals and animation are pretty bad too. They really made an adaptation worthy of the worst arc of the series. |
