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.
(Are you sure it didn't end with exactly that, >>398?)
(>>401 Shinji was congratulated, not me the Viewer. I never could identify myself with that weakling, so all these slaps on his back didn't register on me. A Fourth Wall would have been better.)
>>400 Ep1 has some somewhat decent animation, which covered the general stupidity and vapidness of the characters and story. But this was gone by ep2. I can't believe they made 2 seasons of that dishwater. Did people watched it for the occasional loli or for the vague yuri subtext? Or was it because it aired on Anime Network for free? I have no idea.
Kage Kara Mamoru.
Man, why does everybody beat on Shinji for being a "weakling"?
The fucker's 14 years old! And he has to embody a huge, barely understood bio-mechanical monster to combat huge, eve less understood, ultra-powerful enemies. And he gets like every bone in his body psychologically crushed. He's not weak, if he isn't the rock-toughest teenager ever, then he's just normal.
Mushishi: Depressing disjointed tales of parasitic slime horror. I found it boring and disgusting at the same time. I've heard it's popular amongst lolicons - must be the sick type. Or maybe it's because of the tentacles. Cheap loli porn in disguise?
Galaxy Angels.
Anime should never be made into musicals, and it's just "Galaxy Angel" without the 's'.
Lucky Star
(PS: Nothing is wrong with Looney Tunes)
Oh ho ho ho ho.... you picked the mother of all awful shows... I really could go on a whole rant that really drives home the MANY flaws about that show, and why it's the worst ever. But that's not the nature of this thread, so I'll simply say this:
How can a show idolizing Otaku culture focus solely on girls? By having one of said girls lose any touch of femininity, acting like a regular male otaku, and blaming her masculinity on being raised by a lecherous father figure. Sheesh.
Robot Carnival
>>409 Obviously doesn't understand anything about otaku culture.
...Sucks because not ALL the music is by Hiyaishi.
FMP: Fumoffu!
Fumoffu, fluffo-fu. Disrelated stories with no real plot. Some of the episodes were weak. I would have kept a better memory of the hot springs episode without having to see that guy's face splashed into the hero's privates... >_<
Matantei Loki Ragnarok
Loki doesn't have that much gay sex in real life
Superhuman Combat Team Baratack
What the fuck is up with that retarded title? Is that even an anime?
Code Geass
I do like brown girls but im gussing you dont watch it because of that YOU SICK CAUCASIAN LOVING SICKO
Nadia Secret of the Blue water
This thread hurts my feelings.
>>415
Then my work is complete.
>>414 What happens when you give Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" masterpiece to Japan. Paris' Universal Exposition would have been great animated. But no, they had to inject goofy mecha in the very first episodes. And supernatural powers. And aliens. Poor Verne...
Nodame Cantabile.
>>417
I thought Nadia was okay and certainly superior to Disney's almost-instantaneous ripoff, which copied every tiny detail of character design, "Atlantis."
Also, "Nodame Cantabile" = lol teh shojo drama.
Tenchi Muyo.
I really liked it, Although it was a typical love anime, But its still part of my childhood. I watched it recently and it was actualy not that bad. There needed to be another guy character though.
BECK
>>419
They should stop trying to sing in English. AND WTF IS WITH POLEDANCING CHIBA?!
Black Lagoon
They should stop trying to speak English. That scene with Balalaika pretending to not speak Japanese and Rock pretending to translate from English, it was Jesus-Facking-Chlist bad.
Case Closed
This show only serves to propagate the notion that mystery shows that mimic Scooby Doo are only gonna end up as bad as Scooby Doo is. The sole difference here is that the novelty talking pet is the boy who solves the case. With that in mind I suggest you watch...
Iria:Zeiram the Animation
Iria was never credible, with her fashionable hairdo, makeup and jewelry.
Reideen
(P.S. Everyone's a critic. Not everyone's going to like everything.)
8 ridiculous plot twists per episode.
Utena
Prime example of a series that starts off well but declines horribly towards the end.
And may I be forgiven for my choice.
God help me.
I love Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Way too complicated to follow.
Its been done too many times. Everything seems to be super slow. It also took 16 episodes to introduce any new characters, then they came out of nowhere
Golden Boy.
No sane man puts worldliness ahead of sex. That's against every cardinal rule about man-dom. By enjoying this anime, you slowly lose your own masculinity.
Green Forest Ran
"I love Berserk. It's the most depressing thing I've ever seen."
>>431 Green Forest Ran? Doesn't exist.
You mean Green Legend Ran? I remember the beginning, with the kid running in this dry town, that was poetically pretty. But what happened after is a blur in my memory, so I suspect it wasn't very good.
SD(super-deformed) Oh My Goddess
The main character was a pansey, and didn't even get to second base twards the 3rd seasion. It was basicly a Tenchi ripoff with angles.
>>434
You suck for not following the rules.
BlackJack
>>435
Nobody knows that it is.
Fate/Stay Night
The character design smacks of amateur work. Fail.
Darker than Black
Every pretty girl who falls in love in this show gets a bad end. Yuck.
Shame of Teacher Machiko
Too old and obscure.
Saishuuheiki Kanojo.
I never understood why at the end there was nothing left. Who was the enemy. Why was Japan attacked. Nobody ever glanced at a newspaper. Nothing was ever explained. Completely unreal.
And why the guy didn't pick the healthy babe instead of the underage zombie with falling body parts. The guy was an idiot.
Daphne In The Brilliant Blue
Gross character designs. Looked too damn cheap. Why the fuck are they flying around with sanitary pads anyway? Ugh.
Hataraki Man
An interesting concept, an anime about a woman in an office. Too bad I didn't care for any of the characters. The main girl never smiled once, always frowning. No wonder, her limp boyfriend didn't give her any. And her collegues were cold pricks. I would have watched more episodes if we saw more of those rumored large tits of hers. Or if she had an affair on the side instead of hitting the bottle.
K.O. Beast
I watched an episode of that on a demo DVD and it was about furries.
King of Bandit Jing
Shitty overrated shonen.
Project arms.
I liked that ep (2 I think) where the girl gets half-naked when she powers up her ARM, altho they showed more of the ARM than her... but then after it was only men acting tough for several eps so I gave up. It's been a while but I seem to recall to be irritated at the lameness of the plot/dialogs.
Colorful
It was just panty-shots and I thought it really lacked plot.
Gunslinger Girl
The series doesn't do nearly enough to distance itself from the most masturbatory qualities of its premise. It makes a half-arsed attempt at exploring the psychological implications but just ends up more confused about what it's attempting to do.
Jungle wa itsumo Hare nochi Guu
Pretentious philosophical anime about what happens to emo kids after they do themselves in. As the answer is "continue being emo in some strange fantasy world" and not "burn in hell", it sucks.
Spice & Wolf
Pretentious economical anime about what happens to merchants after they turn to their furry side due to an underage deity that teases him more than your average loli trap. Also deus ex machina devices like having said deity get the lead out dangerous situations where all hope is lost changing into a wolf. Thusly IT FUCKING SUCKS.
Boogiepop Phantom
im sorry, havent watched that series yet. 450 atleast the wolf only appeared a few times, other than that i like it a lot, though another bad thing about it is that they talk a lot. ^.^
Love hina
Generic Harem, nothing special
couldn't connect with the spineless lead male
overall it was bland
Higurashi no koro ni
It has a boring plot, the dead ends are nothing special, and having twins who switch places with each other is way too fucking cliche.
Golgo 13
You only said that to sound clever
Moetan
shit.
evangelion
A Freudian nightmare with giant robots and tang.
Akira
I just found it boring.
I have many favorites but heres one.
Death note :D
Neither Near nor Mellow have the combination of loving sweets AND dicking around of L, and will therefor never match him. Also Misa should have been killed much sooner, the annoying little git.
Bebop
Tries too hard to be cool.
Read or Die
Read or Die lost me with their paper throwing, folding and other stuff you can do with paper. Did they have a paper cut at all? Boobs bouncing, that's all I can remember from that anime.
Lucky Star
Whoops Lucky Star been done. So how about Ghost at School?
Too obscure.
Rahxephon.
eva clone
berserk
Anime had a crappy ending. Manga jumped the shark long ago.
Bamboo Blade
dr. slump
yiff in hell furfag
moetan
Censored by its own producers. (among others)
Baccano!
Baccano no baka! Was there an ending to this bloody confusing mess? Or even a plot?
Kekkaishi
shitty shonen with variable sub times and even more variable production quality
busou renkin
Even more shitty shonen now with the one hit wonder Kenshin author
Kino no Tabi
That second movie showed that the current crop of writers cannot grasp the original concept. At the end Kino was in an impossible situation, with the motorbike elsewhere repeatedly trying stupidly to talk to a machine, then the next second we see them running away free, the end!? What a letdown.
Reideen
no one's heard of it.
shuffle.
Too much drama IMO...(best excuse i can come up with since it wasn't so bad)
Samurai X- Trust and betrayal
Dubbed.
Moyashimon
Characters interaction was kinda weird. Wasn't there anyone normal? Also, that obsession with sake was overdone, and likely to be completely illegal... I was hoping for more on-campus stories and interaction with girls, but that part was mostly overlooked. We only got the oh-so-shocking parts of campus life.
Hell Teacher Nube
Super robot show without robot.
glass mask
I had to wiki it, and it had a remake series released in 2005. Everybody knows 99.9% of everything to come out of Japan after 2002 sucks automatically.
Dennou Coil. (Easy one.)
The deformed child of Serial Experiments Lain and My Neighbor Totoro.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
I can't decide if Tylor's an idiot or a genius.
Darker than Black
It ripped off Roadside Picnic.
Kaiba
Kaiba is trolling material. Some people praise it to high heavens, then a poor sap watches it and finds out that it's drawn-out crap, comes back to the praisers to complain, then the trolls say "What?? You don't think it's fantastic?? What a loser!!"
Soul Eater
Typical shonen crap that at least intended to end with 51 episodes
Ergo Proxy
Cookie cutter emo shite.
Oruchuban Ebichu
>>482
Ah, I made a mistake, I didn't know Kaiba actually. Now I've watched a few episodes: yeah, not bad, but the art style needs some time to get used to it. I can't believe this is from 2008.
Ok, back to:
Oruchuban Ebichu
Its about a mouse god damn it!
maison ikkoku
The manga is better.
Yakitate!! Japan
The manga is better.
Bible Black
Typical Clamp bullshit.
Revolutionary Girl Utena
pink haired tomboy -> fail
Crayon Shin-chan
Hideous art style keeps me up at night.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai
Confusingly titled, due to sharing that title with a novel/manga which it's actually a sequel to. (I almost said "not an anime", but looked it up first.)
Kishin Houkou Demonbane
Generic stupid cute girl fighting with her boyfriend shitty plot show with humor for 12 year olds. What a shitty favorite.
Ghost in the Shell
(goodluck >>495)
Explains things in an overcomplicated matter just to seem more "hardcore sci-fi" when a lot of things could be told in a simpler way.
Gurren Lagann
mindlessly generic shounen crap
Robot Carnival
Nobody talks, ever.
Kurenai
Ignoring >498 who has not given a reason why the above anime sucks (If your liking of cock is part of the reason why you feel the anime above sucks, you need to elaborate on the logic behind this somewhat). Furthermore >498 failed to post any new anime of his own, leading me to the conclusion that this post was just a weak troll.
Anyhow, back on topic. A fair portion of its viewers are probably pedos hoping for fanservice, but more to the point, if you could get through the musical episode then you're probably not even human.
Simoun.
Is a gurrent Lagann Character.
Those who hunt elves.
