Most hated anime

Dartz

Those series you wish you'd never seen...that make you want to rip the eyeballs out of your skull just to wash them clean.

Mine...

Galaxy Express 999: Watched it one night at AMS, and the best thing about this railroad to the stars was the spontaneous MST that developed while we were watching. The kid was a deadly...literally... he could've made the ndeadly viper assassination squad... Maetel was admittedly hot... but creepy steam train to the stars is not my thing.

martian successor nadesico

or

Elfin Lied

Oh an koi koi seven. If ever their was a show designed to be watched hammered, this is it.

DingChavez

Naruto Shippuden or Lucky Star is the correct answer.

So you hate an anime based on everything that happens before the credits? Think you've got the wrong forum, here is where you were looking for .

I'm sorry but if you completely discredit someone else's opinion and then make a ridiculous comment like that...

tman

You can tell a lot by the opening credits - animation style, target audience...
The 60 seconds that I watched were enough to make me realise that this most definitely wouldn't be my cup of tea, so I switched it off before wasting another 20 minutes of my life. I don't "hate" any anime as such, but this is the only show that I've ever avoided in this way.

Elfen Lied is pretty much my favourite series of all time, so I find it hard to believe that anybody could hate a show of its calibre when there's so much rubbish out there.

monkeyfudge

Yep. Elfen Lied was a fantastic series and probably has one of the most beautiful opening sequences of all time.

And Lucky Star was a fantastic satire on anime... I guess if you didn't know what it was poking fun at most of the time it would fall a bit flat. Martian Successor Nadesico was also a great satire of space anime and mecha anime, but despite all that had some fantastic science in it too.

Urotsukidoji would probably be the worst I can think of off the top of my head. It's the sort of trash that gives anime in general a bad name.

Oh.. and there was a series I tried watching once about cyberneticly enhanced boxers I think.... It just seemed to be very dull and took itself far to seriously.

randomchild

The opening sequence was great, but I just thought that the rest of it was rubbish. Its crude, uncouth gore/nude fest nature, clichéd and flat characters and shoddy attempts at depth via symbolism seemingly inserted as an afterthought(If here one more person compare it to Lord of the Flies I swear I am going to scream) completely put me off it. Maybe I should give it another go?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Chobits.

I need say no more, I win.

K.O.Kiki

Happiness!
I hate it.
I hate the cliche premise.
I hate the shoddy animation.
I hate the hyper-screechy voices (annoying to this non-Moonspeaker)
I hate the Engrish in the OP.
Strangely enough, I don't hate (epic trap) Jun Watarase -- I merely tolerate him/her/it.

Can I nominate "shonen anime that takes itself too seriously and/or draws fights out for an entire week/month"? Cos then I can include rubbish like Beyblade.

You know I was going to let loose on the people bashing Elfin Lied but god damn your failure is in another dimension. I hated the artwork in One Piece and I was annoyed by the cartooney ship in the OP too. Before I actually WATCHED IT. Don't be a n00b. It broke all kinds of sales records for a reason.

yugioh is totally way more hateable than any other anime.

Loved Cat Soup myself, so very strange. The guys behind it are making Kaiba too, which is nice.

And guys, don't be dissing Yu-Gi-Oh. After all, without it we wouldn't have the Abridged Series (same goes for Naruto!)

I don't think the gore and nudity was designed to be titillating... in fact it was all very much an uncomfortable experience.

I struggling here to see how anyone could draw a comparison to lord of the flies though...

Of course.. without Elfen Lied we wouldn't have Nana's Everyday Life:

Yup. Utter garbage. A group of us sat through that just laughing at the ****ness. Legend of the Overfiend is not 'mature' animation at all - it is just pointless, needlessly offensive and muddled. Awful stuff.

Yeah. I saw it back in the early 90s when Manga Video first started releasing films.

My local Xtravision was pretty awesome and had pretty much all the stuff that was released available for rent.

The first title I rented out was Akira, which of course blew me away... so then I went and picked up the Overfiend expecting a similar experience...... oh dear... The story opens on a guy masturbating in a laundry basket.. great...

I think that being one of the first high profile anime releases over this side of the world did a lot of damage to the reputation of anime, and it's can still be felt to this day.

Akira was **** besides the scent where the biker whips out the grenade that doesn't go off. That was funny and thanks for reminding me of the overfiend the funniest piece of animation ever. "Oh look! For some reason my clothes ripped into bits..."

Overheal

yugioh was definitely a waste of time after school that could have better been spent masturbating. or socializing. or studying. smoking pot. whatever.

monkeyfudge

Yugioh is one I never fully got.

I have no problems with Dragonball though as I love Toriyama's character designs.

Zionyde

I may or may not get slated for this one, but I've gotta say that I think Fist Of The North star was utter garbage.

Same here, after Chrono Trigger, Toriyama can't do much wrong really.

Yep. Another one of those early Manga Video releases that I thought was utterly stupid.

I'm trying to think what good ones they brought out back then... 3x3 Eyes wasn't bad... neither was Project A-Ko I guess....

Zionyde

Actually, you're right about 3x3 eyes.. That was pretty cool...
Have you ever seen the original Appleseed OAV?

CuLT

3x3 Eyes - pure gold.

One Piece, gave it a ten episode test to get past the irritating animation style and obnoxious protagonist, it didn't change. I know it's popular, presumably in the younger teen bracket.

Given its immense popularity, with the record for most copies sold of a single domestic volume (2,630,000) and 140,000,000 volumes sold in total, it is quite clear that its popularity has substantialy exceeded the overly-simple pidgeon hole of "younger teen".

... young-to-middle teens of both sexes?

Presumably this is in Japan where it was kinda uncensored...

It's a kids show, no need to be offended by that.

That is what "domestic" means.

Firstly, I am not offended by your comments. It would be quite ludicrous, extreme and above all illogical, to take a comment on a TV show as a personal offront to one's person.

Secondly, I would argue that a show is defined by its audience. "One Piece", has both veiwingship and readership numbers to suggest that it is watched on a substantial level by a broad range of ages, enough to mean that it cannot be defined by its majority readership, which is likely to be "young teens", thus meaning it transcends labels such as "kids show".

Thirdly, if you are about to argue that the content, such as fan service, shonen style action and themes, is designed in a way to appeal only to "young adults", meaning that it is thus a young adult show, then save yourself the bother. There are plenty of issues and themes, such as self-mutilation, suicide and political corruption to suggest that it’s designed to be enjoyed by a larger audience than that. These "adult" themes prove that is designed with more than the stated in audience in mind.

Might I suggest you try an issue or two of the Manga?

I watched a few episodes of the anime, and hated it. It was annoying, irritating, I felt it was badly animated and I just didn't like it.

The manga, however, I found to be really quite entertaining. But then I've only read the first three volumes.

I would have to disagree with you on Urotsukidoji. The reason why the films appear all scrambled is because they are made out of pieces of the more complete Japanese collection. Some of the scenes in it are responsible for the dev of more contemporary Japanese anime. I was watching a documentary and many famous anime directors looked at urotsukidoji for inspiration. It pushed new boundaries and even though it is dated and the American release version is a complete mess, I would still appreciate its presence in the anime community. Look up some info on the creator and you will realise what a powerful role he played in freeing the constraints of an incredibly bound society.

I have to say im very fond of yu-gi-oh, I generally fast forward the duels, 20 mins of card playing is bit much. I never watched it properly until i saw the abridged version, but now i cant get enough! Hurrah for Dan Green!


as for hating... Yu-gi-oh GX is pretty annoying, though that might be just the english dub.

owlwink

Yu-gi-oh GX definitely worth a miss.

Yu-Gi-Oh, the American dub.

Avoid it as well. And Yu-Gi-Oh: GX...

*sniggers*

What a load of crap.

I was really let down by Tales from Earthsea. Waited two hours for something to happen and then the film ended. I've never wanted to turn off a ghibli film half way through. Actually had to force myself to watch it until the end.

Let's just hope Miyazaki refuses to let Goro make any more films

And as I have said elsewhere, the first chapter of the Overfiend series is actually very good. You just need to watch it in it's unedited OAV form and not that early 90s MANGA video spliced together rubbish.

Also, +1 for Elfen Lied being brilliant. I really don't know how anyone could dislike that series.

Just watched 'school days' (out of boredom) ... what a peice of garbage! basically I kept watching for the payoff of having the extrememly annoying main character murdered which was satisfying.

My first post

Urotsukidoji is awful to watch, Its always been my most hated,

Its whole 'story' could have been better crammed into in 15-minute hentai vid. Which would probably have been be more appealing !


I actually used to hate Ultimate Teacher'' but now its one of my favourites

the only Yugioh i understand thats worth watching is Yugioh: the Abridged Version.

Hahaha I knew I would see this come up, I wouldn't say I hated it, because as a kid I grew up with it so I have some fond memories.

As for my most hated? Well that's a hard one, probably Flame of Recca, it may not of been bad but I couldn't get into it and as a result it put me off anime for a long time.
