Apocalypse Zero is a unique show. Unlike the other shows on the Anime Wall of Shame, Apocalypse Zero's problem lies not in its story, art, sound, or characters. Sure, it has some abysmal background music, and the characters are pretty shallow, but all in all, it's a "bad" show - not an "unwatchable" one.
What pushes Apocalypse Zero over the edge is how god damn disgusting it is. Elfen Lied has nothing on this show. Move over, Berserk. I'd rather watch the little girl in Eiken than see a single second of Apocalypse Zero again. I don't know about the second episode, but the first episode has one monstrosity of a character - a 99% naked ugly giantess with no good aspects.
Now if this were a horror show, I could somewhat understand. But Apocalypse Zero tries to play down the disgusting sight by weaving it into the storyline, providing the audience with ample time to blow chunks and shit bricks. After a few minutes, it becomes comical. And it's just that much worse.
Here you see something straight out of Satan's worst nightmares dancing around your screen. You try to scream, but you can't say a word. Then it gets worse. Nothing can save you now. You watch in horror as this playful abomination reveals her twisted personality and all you want is to wake up. Somebody stop it. Please. You beg and plead. Wait, is this... is this what you think it is? Yes, there's no doubt. Fanservice. From this monster. I-Is that a breast she's rubbing, or is it a tumor? Oh God. Mercifully, you pass out before your eyes start to bleed. It's over.
This is worse than 2girls1cup, meatspin, or any kiddy shock site you've ever heard of. This is beyond that. This is pure torture - and that's an understatement.
