It's pretty rare that I stumble upon an anime where I ask myself "Why am I watching this?" mid-way through viewing. It's even rarer that I find myself asking "Why does this anime even exist?" mid-way through viewing. Eiken is an example of an anime that made me ask myself both questions.

Story - 1/10
The story is extremely generic - a boy named Densuke Mifune has been enrolled at an academy, and ends up groping the local popular girl, Chiharu. A series of events leads to him joining the "Eiken" club, and competing in a series of games to win the popular girl's heart. That's pretty much it.

Art - 1/10
The art, for the most part, is just extremely bland. I would go into further depth, but that would require me to re-watch Eiken, and I'm not doing that for obvious reasons.

Sound - 4/10
This was the only aspect that was actually passable - it wasn't forgettably bad, but it was forgettable. And the sound mixing is actually surprisingly good.

Character - 1/10
I would say that the show's cast of characters is extremely stereotypical, but that's insulting to stereotypes. Also...I don't really remember anything about the characters.

Enjoyment - 1/10
The only reason I watched this was because I'd heard how bad it was. And it turns out that everyone saying it's awful was right! The only thing preventing me from saying it's the worst anime I've ever seen is the fact that I've seen Master of Martial Hearts - which is even worse.

Overall: 1
This is one of 2 anime I can't think of a single reason for it's existence (the other being the aforementioned Master of Martial Hearts) - it's not like the manga this was technically adapted from was a smash hit or anything, so there wasn't really a demand. This is the type of anime that you would show to your worst enemy, and they would become your greatest friend just because you turn the TV/Computer playing it off. NO ONE should have to watch this.

Alternative recommendations: Anything on MAL that has the "Ecchi"/"Hentai" tag and a score higher than 6.50
