For example, assuming >>0's favorite was Looney Tunes: That's not an anime, dumbshit. However, it is crippled by lack of a central plot, nonexistant character development, and inability to focus on a single set of characters.
My fave: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
Got that damn Puri Puririn or whatever song stuck in my head still, months after watching the episode.
Genshiken
Needs more Madarame and less otaku fap material.
Battle Programmer Shirase
Was so shitty they cancelled it in the middle of the series.
Comic Party Revolution
Real doujin circles aren't themselves moé.
AIR Summer Special
Way too hueg eyes.
Gedo Senki
I haven't seen it so I don't care.
Urusei Yatsura.
I blame it for the harem craze
Maison Ikkoku
It's pretty good but the unfortunate fact that it's by Rumiko Takahashi makes it suck regardless.
Nausicaa
The only thing I remember from Nausicaa was that ugly giant beast at the beginning... Was there a plot? If there was it didn't register with me.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
Blatant Gundam clone.
Azumanga Daioh
Bad art
Getsumen to Heiki Mina
A good first episode, and then it doesn't really go anywhere. I would have liked Mina to have some character development, or at least to not be as dumb and asexual as a doorbell... She was supposed to be a rabbit, dammit.
GateKeepers.
Girls that look like guys.
Zegapain.
Supposedly very intellectually profound, but it bored the hell out of me: slow pace, ugly xbox-green mechas, unsympathetic characters especially the "hero" ("let's swim!"), etc.
Tenshi ni Narumon.
>Girls that look like guys.
This is bad?
>No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
Durians smell bad and don't taste all that great either, so why they revolve the story around it bugs the hell out of me.
Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko
"Because of her exceptional talent with arcade shooters, Yohko's been recruited to travel a thousand years into the future to pilot the prototype ship TA-29..." A ripoff of that old American b-series movie "The Last Starfighter" if I ever saw one. Except that The Last Starfighter was mildly interesting, and Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko a pretentious snorefest.
Big-O.
Like the name says it's a big zero
cowboy beebop
Beautiful animation and art, and breathtaking music are lavished on simpleminded cardboard characters whose entire personalities can be described in a single brief sentence.
Spike: cool martial arts dude
Jet: hardass ex-cop with a heart of gold
Faye: kleptomaniac tsundere
Ed: zany kid
The dog is more complicated and demonstrates more psychological depth than any of the characters. THE DOG.
Tries too hard to be an animated John Woo martial arts film. Can't sustain the serious Hong Kong film noir feeling for three scenes without the zany kid acting zany and pissing all over the mood.
Is almost great, and misses greatness by a tiny amount. Frustrates the viewer with how good it could have been.
I'll give you an easy one to chew on: Carl Macek's Robotech.
Old.
Code Geass.
Way too formulaic, expecting three PS2 games to be based on it.
Fate/stay night
It's not your fate to stay the night.
Serial Experiments Lain
WTF is going on in half the episodes? I mean, seriously.
Yuusha Raideen
Silly mechas.
One Piece
When will it end?!
Death Note.
Too confusing.
Soukou no Strain.
Too recent.
Tetsuwan Atom
Rockman pulled the whole "boy superhero robot created by kind scientist" shtick off better.
Aishiteruze Baby
doesnt have the pedo sticker of approval.
his and her circumstances
Cardboard cutout characters. Literally.
Love Hina
Most irritating central male character in a harem anime EVAR, and possibly also the least interesting or sympathetic.
Excel Saga
Didn't include Elgala, one of the best characters in the manga.
Chikyuu Bouei Kigyou Dai-Guard
I liked Kare Kano, don't know why everybody gangs up on that episode, it's one of the funnier/cleverer eps in my mind. The worst thing about the Kare Kano adaptation is that it wasn't finished. And it went over budget. And as much as people hate the last episode, it wasn't nearly as bad as episode 24, the worst in the series.
Oh yeah...
>>134
Never Heard of it.
DAICON III
Too short.
Prefectural Earth Defence Force
Doesn't exist in AniDB.
Super Robot Wars Original Generation
>>137
Sure it does, just with different spelling of "Defense": http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2686
Anyway, mecha suck my rigid grill structure.
Seto no Hanayome
LOL ANOTHER SAMURAI
GaoGaiGar
LOL ANOTHER MECHA
Sumeba Miyako no Cosmos-sou Suttoko Taisen Dokkoida
LOL tl;dr
Speed Grapher
LOL SUPER POWERS
Popotan
never saw it
Bokura ga Ita
Never saw it either.
Patlabor, 2nd movie.
lol 80s robots
Princess Mononoke
Those clicking white forest spirit things got on my nerves in less than a minute.
Yawara!
whats that?
popotan
Mii was nowhere near as slutty as she is in the game. 5 out of 6 psychoanalysts agree that the game Mii must have been raped repeatedly to become that slutty.
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
Not gory enough.
Berserk
Not moe enough.
Kujibiki Unbalance OVA
too short lol
genshiken
moar liek Densha Otaku, amirite?
Kiki's Delivery Service. Yes, the full-length Miyazaki film.
Bored me to tears.
Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte
ANOTHER ERO-ANIME?
School Rumble.
ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL ANIME?
Tokyo Godfathers
wanted to buy the DVD, but it looked boring
tehxnolyze
Wow, it's so deep, so philosophical, so full of crap!
Agent Aika - Naked Missions
the german dub was crap (like 90% of the other german anime dubs)
pokemon
lol characterization-free, dramatic interest-free, logic-free kiddy cartoon created solely to sell toys and cards to seven-year-olds.
Super Dimension Fortress Macross
Ah, yes... the "classic" that introduced ridiculous flowing hair to the "boring young emo male hero, with shrill girl-who-needs-to-be-rescued-all-the-time sidekick" genre. Old stereotype is old.
Also, animation looks bad even for old shit.
Last Exile
Rushed ending was ru-ru-rushed. Also lol at dead guy revived at the end to please some fans, or something. Logic be damned!
Jubei-chan!
Has only two redeeming qualities: the left one and the right one. No, wait, when I said "redeeming," I meant "bouncy."
Mazinger Z
Go Nagai - tits = fail. Go Nagai - tits + nerdy badly animated robots = very fail.
Ranma 1/2
Obviously you are a panda. More specifically, seven seasons, and even so the very last episode could be switched with the second of season one, and nobody would thinkg its out of place. THATs how much plot development there is: zero.
Also, definitely too much covering ups. Where the hell is the Ranma 1/2 ecchi version?
Samurai Champloo
it aired on adult swim
kino's journey
Another deep philosophical crapfest.
Gekigangar III
Not a real show, but a parodic meta-anime. That's about as cool as having Kujibiki Unbalance be your favorite.
Now and Then, Here and There
It's like watching "The Rape of Nanking", except that "The Rape of Nanking" isn't a work of fiction. Still disturbing.
Damekko Doubutsu.
Made by and for furry pedophiles.
Dokuro-chan
Closet furry favourite.
Utawarerumono
I won't comment on the animal ears, furry, but try typing that into a torrent site without double checking, writing it down or making a mistake. What ears are they meant to be anyway!?
Cowboy Bebop
Needs more toe rape. (As an aside, I have no trouble typing Utawarerumono without doublechecks, but I'm enough of a weeaboo to remember the meaning of the word. And the ears look doggy to me.)
The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina
You had to pick the perfect anime, didn't you? Oh, there was only one episode of it.
Hellsing OVA
Because the original Hellsing was ALMOST silly enough, but had too much time for character development.
My Neighbor Totoro
Miyazaki's charms are mostly lost on anyone who isn't an eleven-year-old girl.
Those Who Hunt Elves
wtf is that?
keroro gunsou
The movie was way too short.
Great Teacher Onizuka
Unreal. Gangster -> teacher?
Darker than BLACK
Not actually darker than black.
Hundred Stories
While a nice story, it was definitely too short.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS
Much too silly.
Gundam Wing
Inspired an entire generation of yaoi fangirls.
Majokko Tsukune-chan
ANOTHER magical girl anime?
Tenchi Muyo, the original OAV.
The original harem anime. Clichéd by now.
AIR TV
Ugliest character designs I've seen in years.
Tsukuyomi Moon Phase
Most annoying loli I've seen in years.
Hime-chan no Ribon
I waited 61 episodes for that damn plushie to magically turn Himeko into a babe with boobs or something, and got nothing.
SunaBouzu
lol coolie hat plus gasmask. lol bewbies.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
A Freudian nightmare with giant robots and tang.
Akira
(you say that like it's a bad thing) Dated, with crude, obvious CGI. TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WE'RE TRAPPED IN A CAMPY 1980S ANIME!
Puni Puni Poemi
Lolicon w/ADD, also NOT FUNNY.
RahXephon
Hideaki Anno did it earlier and better, even with the Tang.
Trigun
Silliest. Hero. Ever.
Angel's Egg
Oooh, philosophical. No.
Noir
DYKE SPIES
Honoo no Tenkousei
Only 2 episodes??? And no real ending, typical Gainax. More importantly, that girl was padding her chest! The horror...
Scrapped Princess.
Decent fantasy show marred by gratuitous and utterly lame mecha battles.
Planetes
DIAPERS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! Also, Ai Tanabe is the most annoying heroine EVAR.
Ebichu Minds the House
The TV version was overly censored with all those bleeps.
Dog of Flanders
SIMPSONS?!
IdolM@STER Xenoglossia.
