Mister Twister
11.22.14 | Without bringing in anime that I've watched exclusively based on how awful they are?
It's a close call, but Chaos;Head is just slightly worse than Claymore. They both had terribly handled plots, a nearly completely unlikeable roster of characters, and were just all-around absurdly boring, but Claymore had a better aesthetic about it. There's really nothing redeeming about Chaos;Head. Seriously, when your show has two characters that are tolerable (Yua and Mamoru) and you kill one off halfway through the damn show, you've really fucked up. It's just amazing to me that the same people made Steins;Gate, which is easily top 5 in my book.
Another good way to sum up a major flaw with Chaos;Head is the TVTropes statement regarding it having an Idiot Plot: "Most of the plot consists of Takumi trying to get away from everyone who could help him due to his paranoia." |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | I knew someone would say Claymore, I fucking knew it. Yes, Chaos;head is terrible. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | There's nothing like a good Rei lookalike chick. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | Yes, omfg she was unbearable. |
Mister Twister
11.22.14 | To be fair, I've not really seen many overwhelmingly awful anime, but again I'm purposely not including shit like Garzey's Wing that already has too much of an infamy for being awful for me to watch and take in as a serious viewing.
The fact that half of Chaos;Head focused on the New Gen murders, whichas you've mentioned went nowhere, was a huge problem. I think the fact that the big twist of who the murderer was is amongst the most careless things about the show, to be honest. Who the fuck had any idea who that character was in the first place? It would have honestly been better if they had just introduced a new character entirely, because as it was it's like they thought out making it a shocking twist without thinking out if it makes sense and is something that the audience is gonna care about.
And once again, it's very badly hurt by the fact that there's only really two characters that aren't absurdly annoying. We have a generic shut-in that's flat and is a total douchebag, we have his annoying as fuck little sister, Rei copycat, um, that one bitch with the black hair I guess (if she actually counted as a character), moeblob that's mute, Evil McShady-Villain, two of his henchmen whom we didn't know nearly enough about for us to care about the villainous reveal...
Seriously though, Yua and Mamoru are the closest things the show has to likeable characters. When the generic grizzled detective cardboard cutout is one of the best parts of your show, you've sincerely fucked up.
Regarding Claymore, it's more or less because of that disastrous ending. That entire arc is just what the fuck. I get it, the manga's not over so you can't follow it beyond that. I would still rather see an original ending that actually makes an effort to tie up the loose ends from the lazy cliffhanger we were given. Fullmetal Alchemist did that, and whether it's better than the manga's route is debatable, but hey, it's still okay, and there was a clear effort. Really, if Claymore's conclusion made any sense without me going to read the manga and find out what happened, it would have been merely mediocre, not really worthy of me having mentioned it at all. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | Claymore's manga is finished now, tbh it left quite a lot to be desired. All agreed that Chaos;head blew? btw has anyone else seen that trainwreck Gilgamesh? |
Mister Twister
11.22.14 | I agree that Takumi could have been an okay character, I just feel like he really wasn't handled well, and any character development he underwent was because the plot needed him to, rather than from things that are actually related to what he's experienced.
Also, his reaction to Yua trying to help him with his mental health problems, something I vaguely recall him acknowledging in his head that yes he is becoming unhinged, is to sucker punch her and run away. Not cool.
And yeah, the whole swords bullshit is bullshit. I would have absolutely preferred them going the route of making the audience guess who's right and have it to do with the New Gen the whole way through, but I guess they had wound up writing themselves into a hole halfway through and needed to switch it up. Steins;Gate is better in every way. Basically every single character is sympathetic and you can understand the situation, aside from those that are explicitly intended to be despised of course, and the story is actually really well put together. There's something people say that it's easy to use time travel in your story as a means to advance it while basing the story entirely around time travel is difficult, but it actually succeeded. What I mean by that, I'll use Doctor Who as an example. It uses time travel, but as a means to enable the story line, not as the story line itself. An actual plot specifically written about time travel as a concept is incredibly hard to create.
I could be controversial and point out that I could only get through six episodes of Darker than Black before giving up because it was boring as shit, but I don't think it's fair to say "X is bad" when I didn't watch the whole say through. Given what I've heard about Season 2 though, it probably was for the best that I didn't watch it. |
Mister Twister
11.22.14 | Anyways, can we just all take a moment to laugh at shit like Code Geass R2 and Valvrave the Liberator? |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | Darker than Black is the definition of a 5/10 for me. It was kinda cool but the whole time it seemed like it was setting you up for something huge at the end that would make you go "oh shit how did I not see that?" but it didn't, it was a real let down. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | I haven't seen code geass so I can't. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | @sixdegrees That's about the only demographic that seem to like it, the art is actually awful and the animation is so simple. Most of the fight scenes is just them teleporting out of harms way or firing colourless energy beams, it's so bad. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | Gilgamesh that is not dtb |

11.22.14 | I couldn't get past the beginning of Darker than Black basically making it feel like we're being led along on a journey of Hei meeting people that then go on to die in the next episode, with some random people named after months thrown in. I don't know if it gets better from there, but given that I had already known how terrible people think the second season is, and that a fifth of the way into the first season there was nothing to really care about from my point of view, I couldn't really find the motivation to go on. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | tbh I couldn't make it through the second season. Can we talk about how bad Deadman Wonderland is? I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned. |

11.22.14 | why do people hate on DB?
it's one of the most influential mangas ever written
I'd say Elfen Lied is much worse, especially with those annoying fangirls who think Lucy's actions were justified (yeah if someone bullies you and kills your dog, you're allowed to take a load of innocent lives) anyway if Lucy hadn't been designed so kawaii, the show wouldn't have so many stupid fangirls.
On the other hand Death Note and Code Geass are kinda good. |

Angelboros
11.22.14 | Sword Art Online wasn't too bad until its second arc. Introducing a different VRMMO whilst not even bothering to change the series' title is one thing, though bringing in a terribly-written character as the antagonist and having Kirito's "sister" suddenly play a part in the story where she ends up not being relevant enough is going a bit too far. Kawahara also must've had his head up his ass for turning Asuna into a goddamn damsel in distress for pretty much the entirety of the time, because I thought she had potential beforehand... and then all of that came to pass. What sank the first season of said anime's ship might as well be the cast: how your central protagonist goes from a slightly unbelievable lone wolf to a cringeworthy Marty Stu is beyond anyone's guess, and the recurring characters who had little impact on the simple, yet somehow head-bangingly stupid plot really should've been handled better. Thankfully the second season is nowhere near as atrocious so far, though it still has some of SAO's first season's worst traits - a wee bit downplayed, but still present nonetheless.
I myself haven't seen any other anime I'd officially consider terrible aside from maybe World War Blue, which is a reimagining of the whole console wars argument which got beaten like a dead horse. |
wwba
11.22.14 | "And anyway it wasn't just the puppy. There was a bunch of other heinous shit that contributed to that. Plus, in the manga it states that killing humans is a natural instinct for Diclonius (her Diclonius instinct is what is talking to her in her head). They're like the next thing up on the food chain for humans."
well not really, considering Lucy hasn't eaten anyone, she killed for no significant reason aside from a few cases (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER)(Tomoo, Chief Kakuzawa etc), it has nothing to do with the food chain which includes the word "food" for a reason. If some keeps killing innocent people thus ruining families, he/she must be stopped. The whole Diclonius instinct excuse is stupid, by this logic terrorists aren't bad people, after all they're raised to kill as much innocent american people as they can, so you can't blame them if they blow your best friend into pieces because it's not just natural but good for them. |

Hahaha, even though I consider it to be flawed I admit that on its own (without counting the existence of the sound novel) it can be an interesting show. The concept is still there, so something good is present. Anyway, a really bad show I recall watching would be B Gata H Kei which I dropped at half of the first episode. Other than that...

EasyModeDX
11.22.14 | Mekaku City Actors makes all of the shows on this list look like an Ufotable production and I'm not
even blowing things out of proportion here.
It has the most incoherent art I've ever seen, they tried to be really artsy fartsy with the colors
they used for the lineart in particular (my favorite was vomit green) but they fucked up since the
lineart is so thick there is no definition to the characters, also the colors themselves don't
translate well into the final product. You'll usually see a blob of gray with some red elements here
and there. Those are the colors. When they don't use red they use some other color but always
accompanied with shades of grey. The end result is often murky with some brief scenes where they get
it right (where they top using shades and actually put some real color into it).
Generic, copy paste and low res backgrounds, awfully drawn characters with rare glimpses of good
representation here and there, ugly, sometimes non present animation, Doesn't do justice to the
original material in any way, original plot replaced by some edgy bullshit that doesn't even obey the
rules this show provides in the first place.
Also it looks like they spent all the budget in a particular flashback scene which is represented as
a hand drawn picture book, which has some A+ grade artwork. it's eye candy in its purest of forms,
but it's the only beautiful thing about it. You'll be yearning to gouge your eyeballs out the rest of
the time, with those infamous Neon Genesis Evangelion moments where characters are having a
conversation but the camera is so far from what's being discussed so they didn't even have to bother
with lip syncing.
They also pick the worst approach to everything. Some scenes in the end where the characters are
running through a corridor while talking about plot stuff for ten minutes. Characters sitting still
in the same place for long periods of time without any movement whatsoever. Also awful anatomy,
incorrect proportions and stuff. Seriously, there are some "deviantart weaboo drawn" tier scenes. And
it's a recent show too, started airing mid April this year and technically it looks dated as fuck. I
could be watching a 14 year old anime, and overall it will be a lot more concise and just better
animation wise, since it would actually have ANIMATION, which is something this one lacks at times. |

Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | @wwba Ok, maybe "food chain" wasn't what I meant but it seems like that part (which was a mistake on my
part) was the only part that you acknowledged. But besides, I've always felt that people approach Elfen Lied
the wrong way. I feel that its good way (overblown yes) of showing how destructive the cycle of bullying and
discrimination can be. Lucy goes overboard and starts mercilessly killing humans regardless of whether or
not they've done anything untoward because she was always abused and laughed at because she had horns and
later (after she meets Kouta the second time) gradually comes to regret the monster that she's become.
Admittedly there are lots of aspects to Elfen Lied that make it hard to appreciate and we all know what
those are, but don't completely write it off (or completely miss the point). |
Mister Twister
11.22.14 | The show was pretty mediocre, but I don't think I've ever actually seen a drop in quality greater than Another after the first three episodes. Given how intense the atmosphere was and the umbrella scene, it was hugely disappointing to see it basically turn into "who's gonna die this episode" every time. Not to mention, that ending was a disaster. |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | "who's gonna die this episode" in Mirai Nikki, they pretty much always kill the latest character they introduced. Every time there was a new player introduced: kill. |
Sabrutin
11.22.14 | @Mister Twister: Agreed, but I still felt bad for Izumi (the one with twin tails). |
Jasdevi087
11.22.14 | @wwba also you can't really say an anime is shit because of its fanbase I mean come on dude; you can say that about anything. |
Mister Twister
11.23.14 | One thing I will say about Another though, I've never hated a background character more in my life.
Remember Kenzou Kawahori? Probably not, because he's never actually referred to by name in the show. Anyways, the only two things he does are: call Kouichi an asshole for trying to stop the witch hunt on Mei, and escape from the chandelier and leave the other three trapped. I was happy when that pillar fell, and that the other three lived.
That was honestly the best part of the entire final few episodes. |
wwba
11.23.14 | @Jasdevi087 it's not because of the fanbase
I just don't like Lucy
SPOILER she killed Kouta's family for a very childish reason and many other innocent people SPOILER END
and the anime clearly wants me to feel bad for Lucy (well this is what the background music suggest) and I find it ironic/ridiculous this is why I can't take it seriously at all
On the other hand as I already said Lucy wouldn't be popular if she was a 50 years old fat ugly woman so this is just another case of the "if you're hot you can act as childish, selfish and arrogant as you want and people will find it cool" thing which is one of the main problems of this society |

fairly standard stuff like cowboy bebop and fma, but I like the way a show like space dandy makes every episode a different world with a different art style and does it in a totally surreal manner and idk I also want to get into 80s anime but I don't have a whole lot to go off of y'know |
Jasdevi087
11.23.14 | I haven't watched any 80s anime so I can't help you there. But if you like surreal stuff then you might like Evangelion, Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent or Mouryou no Hako. |

11.23.14 | Though I haven't seen Space Dandy and I doubt any of those are similar. |
VaxXi
11.23.14 | Thats a pretty good list Jas, finding good anime is sorta hard because of how unreliable that MAL is (Blue Exorcist has a 8/10 and Sao has an 8.4/10) and how most fans will try to tell you its good when it really isn't. Also theres so much anime out there its hard to find anything worthwhile.

Season 4 & 5 have their moments. They are somewhat difficult compared to Adventure and Tamers, but especially Savers has actually a pretty good story, it's just drawn awfully. Xros Wars is strange, only watched the first 15 or so episodes and I wouldn't exactly call it worthwhile.
Adventure 3 with the same director and writer as the first 3 seasons? That could work, anything else is almost bound to suck. |
Sabrutin
11.23.14 | @KrazyKris: I'm afraid that my attachment to the main cast (and Tamers' to an extent) will prevent me to enjoy the other seasons. I may check them out one day though, maybe 03 will give me a kind of "Digimon hunger", who knows. |

11.24.14 | elaborate or i will continue to assume you are just pretentious |
ResidentNihilist
11.24.14 | the dialogue is probably the best example, it's very stilted and artficial in places, specifically in many scenes between Gendo and Fuyutsuki, about how man has sinned etc. The point gets across but the dialogue feels unnatural. I could apply the same thing to Rei's last monologue in End which was good but could've been done better. The show's at it's best when it's at a complete mindfuck with the imagery, best examples Asuka's mind rape and the Instrumentality sequence, as they're very powerful and it doesn't need to say a lot to say everything. Also when it's parodying conventions of anime etc. and give them a disturbing spin (the setup, the characters etc.). Yet when it tries to say a lot it ends up sounding like the sort of speech used in a really bad sci-fi novel where the author has no fucking understanding of what a human being is. It's also a trait found in a lot of anime and it's representative of my main problem with the anime, sure it takes anime conventions etc. and twists them but it feels so deliberate that it seems as if it was created with no real heart more as if it's scientific analysis. I know that it's supposed to be a psychological exploration of the creator's depression etc. but it becomes so obsessed with details and showing this to the viewer about how self-aware it is, it feels too self-important and too clinical in many ways. It's like seeing the magician doing the trick and then him going over every single detail for two hours on end, the mystique's lost in translation and it becomes stale, same here in many places. What it does do well, the stuff like the surrealist sequences and the relationships between the children, Misato etc., it does very well but I feel it only really gets good with End because it just basically goes nuts, throws you in at the deep end and doesn't give two flying fucks about it. Overrall the message is a good one but the execution is patchy.

Crymsonblaze
11.24.14 | in general i would agree, but i dunno, i saw it at 21 for the first time and still got the feels pretty hard |
ResidentNihilist
11.24.14 | true, it depends on the person really i think more than anything though. i mean i saw Eureka Seven when i was 21 and that was probably one of the best, most well-constructed animes i think i've ever seen and it left me with an emotional resonance that i couldn't get with evangelion. it had it's flaws but i still loved it regardless. |
Crymsonblaze
11.24.14 | yeah i think it all comes down to whether you get that catharsis or not during "end of evangelion" |
Jasdevi087
11.24.14 | But still, if you want high expectations and zero execution Gilgamesh and Mirai Nikki win hands down. |

11.24.14 | meh evangelion probably makes no sense to a 14 year old, i think if i watched it as a 14 year old i would either ) hate it for making zero sense or b) claim it's the deepest thing since mariana's trench. i don't think i'd appreciate it for what it actually is. residentnihilist makes some good points imo
@cyg, oh yeah the ending of geass is great. one of the best i've seen. but re-watch the show now and you'll realize how puerile it is as a whole. there's so many artificial parts to the show, like the random slice of life bullshit, the redux in season 2 (fuck rolo), the random chess metaphors, and the general shallowness of the characters (suzaku is one of my least favorite characters ever). there are some good parts... the first season had some good strategy moments and i liked lelouch quite a bit but man that show was just horrible on every other level. my favorite bit is when cecilia is decrying zero for killing civilians, when she ordered a genocide an episode ago (i think... i remember being annoyed at her hypocrisy and at the show for not acknowledging it, but i don't really remember the scene since i found the show to be so forgettable) |

12.14.14 | I can't find it :/
but one of the main points was how there was so much pressure from the outside world on Japans government to be seen as 'civilized' to their standards so they started crushing sexual expression. Japan used to be a very sexually open culture but this pressure caused them to adopt conservative views that have eventually lead to the censorship and the exponentially increasing populations of asexuals and people who choose abstinence. in regards to the censorship there was an exceptionally interesting point... Japan has a lot of clearly creative minds... the more and more porn became censored (in the case of pornography and animation) the more and more people had to work around the guidelines so they wouldnt have to be censored... so along came tentacle and monster porn and futinari and shit like that..."as long as its not a real penis... we can make it as penis like as possible without being censored!". it then goes on to talk about how this also translated into the weird fetish kind of shit you can find so openly expressed in their film etc. wish i could find it for u |

potsy your post was great overall but this is a misconception. i remember reading that among similar ages and other factors (relationship status iirc), americans were actually less likely to be looking for sex, a relationship. single people in america were less likely to have had sex in the past ____ days or something. basically it's a case of some very prominent extremes (hikikomori, herbivore men) plus misleading statistics that aren't contextualized (e.g. 47% of single people in Japan might not be looking for sex, but then in America it's like 42%, and yes I made these numbers up but they were pretty close). then of course there's the whole "japanese is so weird lolol" meme even though if you ask any japanese male, they'll say the biggest issue isn't on the male side but on the female side, since a lot of them in their 20s tend to act very infantalized (referring to themselves in 3rd person, adding -chan, talking cutesy/ childish, dressing cutesy/ childish)
"we can exclude the generic, overhyped shit cause let's be honest that's rarely good"

hahaha, that's a good one. i see the irony isn't lost on you. code geass is absolute garbage, but i will agree that unlike AoT it doesn't try to be anything beyond garbage (AoT is pretentious as shit, and this is from someone who enjoyed it)? it just hits the anime checklist and hope it appeals to the otaku of the east and the weebs of the west. random harem? random slice of life? random school segment? fanservice for days? magnificant bastard protagonist at the expense of the plot? vague rumblings about deep ideologies without without any meaningful exploration? yeesh. code geass is the epitome of generic, shallow popcorn fiction. i mean it's chill if it appeals to you, but one would think the same demographic that ate up code geass would love attack on titan as well |

i was literally just explaining what an article i read was discussing, none of that was my informed opinion or knowledge of the issue, just an interesting argument that i saw. Also, on the abstinence and asexuality in Japan, I never commented on whether it was male or female prevalent, but a different article I read talked about how it was more of an issue with the female population. also sex = / = a relationship. You seem to be taking one sentence of my post and taking it out of context and assuming that I was saying a bunch of things that i didnt say at all, i was simply just summarizing an article to jas... one in which was majorly dominated by everything else i mentioned and where this gender issue you are discussing was a minor aside. |
toxin.
12.14.14 | nah i'm not really making it a gender issue or anything (that was just a specific anecdote i came up with). i was just making a quick response that the whole "increasing population of asexuals" thing is a misconception afaik and that iirc japanese birth rate isn't that much lower than non-immigrant americans (and it's on the upswing). not trying to get in an argument here, just adding to the discussion |
Jasdevi087
12.14.14 | I like how this list got more attention today than my new one... |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.14 | i wouldn't know and i don't claim to but the birth rate and asexual/abstinent or even just people who refuse to engage in relationships doesn't necessarily have to have a direct effect on population YET. from the one article i read (again, different article, not the one i was talking about) it was a recent phenomena so the effect on population might have an offset period, who knows, we'll see in 10 years. not to mention supposed casual sex being up, relationships down due to the large gender ratio displacement. i think the point it was trying to make is that culturally there is a trend for its people to be moving away from sexual intimacy and more towards alternatives, be it casual polygamy or alternative orientations on the rise like asexuality. again, i don't know much, just food for thought. especially if you are arguing against misleading statistics by mentioning more potentially misleading statistics. stats can often be a problematic place to draw conclusions from.
again this isnt something ive studied at all just thought it worth mentioning that there really isn't much to go on here from what either of us have mentioned |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.14.14 | id like to know a lot of things...
if its true that there is a trend of casual sexual relationships and a decrease in monogamy how
is this influencing birth rates? is there a raise in single females raising children? how do
cultural views on contraceptives effect this? what is the birth rate like compared to death
rate? if its anythng like in canada that could be a huge factor in the increasing population,
more so than birth rate. stats for gender of people identifying as asexual? if they are mostly
male that could make a big difference considering there are significantly more females than
males in the age range of people who would be having children... theres a tonne of things to
factor in on this matter that simple stats like 'birthrate' or 'sexual orientation' cant confirm
without more knowledge ya know |

02.15.15 | a couple months late, but re: that guardian link, the (well-sourced) blog post was specifically taking issue with that guardian article lol. not that i actually care enough to dig for it.
i'm glad to say my list hasn't changed. ain't got time to watch shitty anime. corpse party seemed like it was meant to be horrible so |

02.15.15 | I like Higurashi and I'm interested in Bakemonogatari but haven't seen it but yes to pretty much all of the rest of those. Attack on Titan is far from the worst I've seen, but I'll conclude that it's a low 5 at best. |

02.15.15 | Let's not count horrible shite I watched during high school and thought was good at the time
Sword Art Online is an obvious one, what a piece of absolute shit. I actually like Attak on Titan though, seems people hate on it a lot cos it has flaws and is popular but it's a cool and totally entertaining show
Once I tried two episodes of Claymore and just couldn't bring myself to continue, it was horrible. That was also quite a long time ago though |

02.15.15 | well my faves are Monster, Wolf's Rain, GTO, Aria, Baccano, Ergo Proxy, GITS: SAC, Rurouni Kenshin , Slam Dunk, Beck, Trigun, Serial Experiments Lain, Aoi Bungaku, Rainbow, etc. I didn't know elitism exist in the anime community. |

Angelboros
02.15.15 | I recall seeing the first four episodes of Fairy Tail, and that's about it. Maybe it was for the best that I unintentionally dropped the anime... 'cause God forbid I watch another series which relies heavily on the power of friendship; didn't stop me from checking Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan and I liked that in spite of its mediocre characterization. |

I only have one friend who watches anime and he cannot watch one episode of something and not sit out the entire thing. If we tried that he'd probably get a mental illness of some form. |

Yeah wasn't all that thrilled with Trigun. Didn't think it was awful but it was obviously for younger kids. |

fucked up Wolfwood's death so badly in the show tbh |

03.10.16 | I'm stalking your MAL, your taste isn't bad at all apparently. If you liked Aku no Hana you should've like Shinsekai Yori, though it's an anime. I recommended it to you anyway. |

03.10.16 | I haven't had heaps of time for anime recently, but it looks pretty nice so I might give it a go |

03.10.16 | Really? Attack on Titan is pretty average overall but it's nowhere near the worst.
Worst i've ever seen is Danganronpa, extremely boring despite the premise sounding decent.

03.10.16 | Dance in the Vampire Bund is my new contender for worst anime ever |
ChoccyPhilly
03.10.16 | Gantz is the worst I've seen. The pacing is so fucking bad |
TheBarber
03.10.16 | Berserk anime is complete shite with like the budget of one episode extended to a whole series
Yeah fuck you hep Trigun rules if just a little dated
Best anime no one has seen is Shigurui (from most of the creators of lain, angels egg or Texhnolize), freakin brutal unfinished blunt samourai perfection, makes all other samourai shows look soft in comparison |
TheBarber
03.10.16 | Also anybody seen that anime from the guy who birthed Dead Leaves? Supposed to be pretty rad |
Keyblade
03.10.16 | i love the berserk anime, the atmosphere is superb. and that soundtrack lawd |
TheBarber
03.10.16 | It feels rushed at first and then it just keeps getting worse and worse before enfing kinda randomly, the relation between the two heroes is some really great stuff but the animation is good awful especially compared to the manga and the character interactions just feel clunky and dated (not to mention lame fighting), the only moment with actual atmosphere is the first episode. Can't remember the soundtrack though sorry I know you love this show (saw your list on another website) but it's too much of a bore to me to see a camera pan on sketchy drawings of unanimated battles :/ |
Keyblade
03.10.16 | I haven't read the manga so I have no point of reference, I just really enjoyed the show in a weird way. it wasn't anything amazing but just kinda atmospheric idk. I just watched it randomly once and it was cool. also I don't remember making an anime list on another site lol |
TheBarber
03.10.16 | Oh wait yeah your right it's radicaled's list! Lol my bad |

03.10.16 | Charlotte was pretty awful |

This hard
"Charlotte was pretty awful"
Watching it at anime club and it's pretty meh so hard.
Also agreed with Key, enjoyed Berserk quite a bit. |
p4p
03.10.16 | @TheBarber the manga for shigurui was awesome you should read it.
@key dude you're missing out if you haven't read Berserk.
also, the anime for Parasyte is pretty awful. |
Valkyrion
03.10.16 | Pupa |
Keyblade
03.10.16 | punchy i'll check it out for sure
agreed on parasyte tho, just like attack on titan it was so promising and ends up going absolutely nowhere. all that build up and then the ending is just nothing. ugh |
Aberf
03.10.16 | Pupa is a straight up joke. Not worth mentioning.
Oyasumi Punpun is a masterpiece manga, similar to Aku no Hana. Any of you should read it.
Gantz manga >>>>>>>>>> anime. |

zaruyache
03.10.16 | don't watch a huge amount of anime but I just finished Gangsta so I'd have to say that one. The studio went bankrupt so season 1 ends on ep 12 in the middle of a story arc so that's kind of irredeemable imo. Story was cool and I liked that one of the protagonists was a deaf samurai, but that ending ;_; Now I have to go read the manga to find out what happens even though I don't really love comics/manga. |
LotusFlower
03.10.16 | i think i already commented here many moons ago but SAO and Elfen Lied. |
Nazzadan
03.10.16 | Now that I think about it, Dragon Ball Super is actually so bad I stopped watching it. The animation is unacceptably bad considering it's the "rebirth" of Dragon Ball. |

03.10.16 | I couldn't even finish SAO I.
SAO II is much better in pretty much every way.
Attack on Titan, Psycho Pass, and Tokyo Ghoul are my favorites. |

03.10.16 | "SAO II is much better in pretty much every way"
SAO II is better in the way that the Heisenberg disaster was better than the Titanic sinking.
"Elfen Lied was good idk what y'all smokin"
Sure, if fetishized violent rape fests with more edge than some kind of outlandish sharp thing and a horrible story and characters ar your thing. (should clarify I dropped the anime a few episodes in and finished with the manga, which was far longer and did much more) |
SharkTooth

With the show being quite tame in terms of sexual content and gore than you make it out to be, with no rape to be seen. |

ROFL, tsubasa reservoir chronicle anime is one of the worst adaptation there. The manga is good tho, I have to admit. |
