[NodMan]

Well people are always asking what Animes they like, might as well do one about ones we don't like...

Angel Beats! I watched the whole series because I was told it was "good". Waste of utter time...

[Shuiia]

Well I would go with Grenadier, lame ass story, only focuses on Rushuna's massive tits and just overall puke worthy friendships -.-"

[jinzo64]

dragonball gt what a waste of time it's basicaly dragonball and dbz slamed together and made this mess.

[Generalvash]

You know what? I'm probably going to catch flak for this but the hell with it. I'd have to say Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not one likable character in the whole show. The last two episodes are utter crap; the movie was the true ending in my opinion, and the ending STILL made little sense. The only reason I watched the entire thing was to see if ANY of the characters became likable . . . short answer: no; long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[jinzo64]

i tried watching that but i couldn't get in to it.

[Diclonius]

bleach

obvious rip off of yu yu and has cliches out the ass hole

[BladeGraffiti]

Aria the animation, the will power to continue watching a story which was deadly flat and just completely uninteresting just brought no reward in the end whatsoever to me in my opinion.

[darkzi]

rahxephon..just watch the movie it's the whole series wrapped up from 27 uhh eps into 2 hrs

[NaglethXeg]

Samurai Pizza Cats. name says it all.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

this ^ I couldnt get past the first episode because of the amazingly terrible characters. Id have to say Minis 9 sums up what each of the characters are like. the movie 2.22 was resonably good if you just roll with it.

sorry, I hate to get into a flame war here, its just my opinion.

my own most hated anime would have to be Phantom: Requiem for a phantom. few things tick me off more than a girl that has no personality while still being a total b*tch, among other things.

[scarmullet]

Di gi Charat, It has no plot what so ever (Even less than Azumanga Daioh), and its completely stupid.

[Nnylad]

I would have to say Black Cat, it started ok but after awhile they were skipping around like crazy and the awful animation near the final few episodes (mostly the flashing neon color scheme) killed it for me.

[Matey]

i agree with Neon Genesis.
cant think of any others right now, theres a few shows i started watching and were so horrible that i couldnt finish them, but i cannot remember the names of any of them right now.

p.s.
im surprised you disliked angel beats so much. i wasnt too big on it at the start but i found it fairly good by the end, a really odd morale to the story to be sure, but something different. maybe its just that i had such low expectations for it, it ended up being ok which was better than i expected.

[abyssion1337]

I liked NGE, and I can't blame them for the ending, they had had their funding withdrawn so they did it on no budget. But really the characters being unlikable isn't quite as a bad as the characters from NHK, only one of the four had a redeeming quality and that's why the series held up. The ending wasn't that confusing, though it was a delve into postmodern existentialism

Bleach may be a yu yu hakusho ripoff, but I'm guessing you don't watch much shounen anime bucause most of it is and you can do a hell of a lot worse than bleach. Besides the majority of the second characters are pretty cool, though this only makes up for the main cast being cardboard at best with one character nobody likes.

Rehxephon, I didn't think was that bad, it's just really not what you're looking for in a mech series

I didn't see aria the animation but I liked the manga

Grenadier was pure bad, but you know it's going to be bad when your main character makes Vash look subtle

I really hated Gundam Seed, they didn't make the giant robot battles interesting and just about every character sucked. And they weren't even bad characters who were interesting because of it or because of how they interacted with each other; probably because they all had the defining character trait of being incredibly stupid, and I'm convinced that there was a plague in this universe that lowers intelligence because everyone in the universe seems to be incredibly stupid. That aside, the plot is too timid to try anything new or at times even try anything at all so we get a story that's been done better by just about everyone else and that at several points just drags.

[Kira2521]

One Peice. It's a sory excuse for an anime and i have no idea why it's so popular.

Guy eats fruit, turns in to rubber, suddenly loses the ability to swim.

Not to mention that everything looks like it was drawn by a five year old, and i could draw better than that at five

[UTF]

Witch Hunter Robin and .hack//sign

Only anime that have ever actually put me to sleep.

[Leef]

I liked evangelion because all the characters sucked. It was different. I got sick of shows trying to make the main character a likable respectable person. It made the show more real.
As for a shows I hate... naruto, bleach, angel beats, gundam 00, buso renkin, and many others not worth mentioning

[BladeGraffiti]

on naruto i agree but the others not so much, it's still your opinion none the less ;)

[darkzi]

I will agree with Bleach because they toss in fillers at the worse possible time; any anime that does that is just plain horrible when they do that
also final fantasy: unlimited...face it it's just repeated ending over and over

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I wouldnt have minded Grenadier if the protagonist (forgot her name already!) wasnt so damn OP!! pretty much everything about her was overpowered and that really killed the show.

oh yeah, another to add: seikon no qwaser. what has been seen, cannot be unseen. lets just leave it at that.

[Filleraol]

.hack//sign

Managed to torture myself through 18 episodes I think, before i just gave up.
I always try to go with that "finish what I've started" thing...but that anime was. So. Damn. Slow. And. Borinnnngggg.

Seen a lot more bad ones, but too tired

[scarmullet]

Rurouni Kenshin Season 3, it was nothing but filler story arcs paling in comparison to the second season.

[Backmask]

I hate Naruto. The show consisted of fillers, clich? characters, and flashbacks that were as long as MGS4's cutscenes.

[emrfish6]

Suzuka, the characters pissed me off and I found the whole thing rather stupid

Rosario+Vampire anime, gonzo completely butchered a good story

[Kira2521]

This one is a long time coming.

Pokemon. Who the hell do they think they are!?

It's been going on for about 13 seasons now, ash or whatever his name is hasn't gotten any older over the past ten years and every time they move to a new region theres aparrently another hundred or so different kinds of pokemon that seem to be locked away in that region until ash and the gang arrive then their let loose to spread around the world.

[jinzo64]

that is so true pokemon don't exist until ash gets to said region it's just plain stupid and still as useless as he was when he first started his journey.

[darkzi]

pokemon says it has legendary pokemon and yet you see them like as if it's a safari ride; I stopped watching after 152 pokemon

[jinzo64]

i like the pokemon movies but thats it now.
the series on tv is lame and predictable.

animes you shouldn't i'll probably get flamed for this but akira boring and i found it comfusing to many characters look to simalar to each other.

[gk94]

as for me i would say i dont like naruto because except for the newest episodes uzumaki is a horrible charactor
all of the final fantasy anime shows. not too much the movies.
i agree bleach is horrible about filler in bad places so i rather dislike that one at times
ima end there i hate to much flame

[Filleraol]

Suzuka, the characters pissed me off and I found the whole thing rather stupid

Ohohoho, you should read this (http://myanimelist.net/manga/8483/Kimi_no_Iru_Machi)

[Chillpalazzo]

The Daughter of Darkness (Second Tenchi muyo movie). The villians reasoning for hating Tenchi are completely retarded and it ends with good old fasion Dues ex Machina. Also the villians plan makes no sense... She takes Tenchi's DNA and combines it with hers to make a daughter and then sends the daughter back in time when shes older to capture him, but in order to do so it seems she has um... do "stuff" to him.

But in the end it does have a nice Christmassy feel to it.

[darkzi]

perfect blue; face it if you thought akira was confused that will make you go 'ohh...guess akira makes more sense'

[abyssion1337]

perfect blue; face it if you thought akira was confused that will make you go 'ohh...guess akira makes more sense'

I didn't initially like it either but I just assume it's because my first time was edited on scifi, it's actually a really good movie.

Actually this is something that bugs me, I understand quite a few things, I'm rarely confused probably because I apply my brain to everything and analyze. Whenever someone says 'this is bad because I don't understand it' it makes me want to kill them a little for being a waste of space. I don't think they're stupid for saying they don't understand it, it's more I think they're stupid for saying that it's bad instead of, 'this isn't to my tastes I prefer something more straightforward.' Sure you probably don't really like an Satoshi Kon film or most Gainax series because you don't understand them or they confuse you but it's just wrong to say 'they're bad' for that reason.

Am I telling darkzi to go **** himself, no, this is just a pet peeve of mine that this thread exacerbates quite a bit and if I didn't get the rant out I'd probably have exploded into a genocidal rage. I guess if I'm really trying to say anything, it's find the difference between bad and not to your tastes.

[jinzo64]

this is going to sound stupid but i think i managed to understand perfect blue better than i did akira.

[NodMan]

Dragon Ball Z. I LOVED Dragon Ball, so funny and still good. Plot wasn't bad either. Then I tried to watch Dragon Ball Z, so gay...

[jinzo64]

god damn it nappa it's your fault dragonball z is being acussed of being gay.

so the NodMan what is your veiw on dragonball gt

[Doomimus]

Psychic Wars and Angel Sanctuary. I think they epitomize everything that's wrong with anime. Both were mercifully short, though.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. There, I said it. For me, all it offered was an interesting premise that never took off. Most of the characters didn't help either, including and especially the title character. And as long as we're on the subject of anime we don't understand, I usually make it a point to stay on the fence until I fully (or at least mostly) understand what's going on. Such is the case with Evangelion, which left me dumbfounded by the time it was over. Hell, I even MIGHT give Haruhi another shot just to see if I can get anything out of it besides Mikuru-chan's cuteness.

I have a love/hate relationship with Ah! My Goddess! (mostly love, though). It's actually one of my favorite animes, but its weak points bug the ever-loving snot out of me. (Don't, for the love of all that is holy, get me started on the character of Peorth or the episode where Megumi makes her first appearance.) Still, I'm not completely done with it (still have two thirds of the manga to go), so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt... for now. *evileye*

[abyssion1337]

oh god was psychic wars just bad, and I had no idea they had animated Angel Sanctuary which given the manga: STOP DANCING AROUND THE ISSUE AND JUST MAKE A STRAIGHT UP YOAI MANGA, it would have been better because you may be a good artist but you just can't write

As for Haruhi, I still like the first season and first episode of the second season, but nothing in the ****ing world can justify Endless 8, except maybe what Johnny Yong Bosh said the English VA cast was thinking of doing with it, but they ended up not anyway.

and DBZ, it was damn flawed and I'd suggest DBZK to anyone who didn't like DBZ

[xawari]

Anime titles I consider as waste of my time:

Arete Hime (the champion of being boring. It's irritating and maddening boring!)
Chrno Crusade (eww, total crap under a name of a very good game which has no connection to it at all!)
Mahoraba Heartful Day (makes your brain rot!)
NGE (ofcourse! even more brainrotting)
Niea under 7 (a false-promising beginning and the entire anime is just about nothing)
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (just useless)
Rahxephon
Rozen Maiden (so much noise about nothing, desu!)
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei TV2 (TV1 was GOOD)
Sin (a game anime? anyway it looks like a cheap standard hollywood movie)
Sora no Oto (a good-loking ****)
Tenshi ni Narumon (is this weird sh%st for children or adults? Or for perverted weirdos of any age?)
Utawarerumono (90% game anime sucks. This one is generated by Micurosofuto Anime Maker using ALL available default templates at once + extrasaturated character personal traits)

and some moar...

BTW, I'm glad good people stopped me from watching Haruhi, Dragown Ball, Bleach and, ofcourse, Naruto.

[abyssion1337]

Well I'd disagree with Utawarerumono, which I liked for it's creativity and uniqueness, I didn't think it was great but it was instantly a memorable diversion, I actually liked it less after playing the game.

I was also surprised by Chrono Crusade not having to do anything with the games but at least it wasn't the second game which took a really great premise and turned it into a device to invalidate the series. That aside Chrono Crusade wasn't that bad, it was just average, maybe I've just seen too much really bad anime to the point where I can just give meh series a pass for not being bad

more hate though: MD Geist which was just bad
VIRUS BUSTER SERGE, WHICH IS MADE OF DISTILLED SUCK

[emrfish6]

What Chrno Crusade games?

[jinzo64]

so chrono crusade doesn't have any connection to chrono trigger or chrono cross

[Shirker]

Anime we hate? hmmm.... I can't say I have many. I know what my tastes are, so I usually make it a point not to go near anything that so much as might bore or anger me. That being said, here are some I was roped into:

D.N. Angel: 2 friends of mine recommend it to me and to this day say it's their favorite anime ever. As for me, I couldn't make it past the first 3 episodes. The only thing that kept me even remotely interest was Vic Mignogna, but even that couldn't save it. I might give it another try eventually. Worked with Azumanga Daioh.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: I don't necessarily hate it, hell I even liked the first season (save a few episodes), but it's probably the single most overrated show in the history of ever. The 2nd season was like what would happen if Michael Bay got his own animated series. Just so much over-the-top explosiveness that it slowly became a boring mess.

Dragonball GT: I wanted to like this series, I really did - For the first time in ages, the focus was back on Goku - but unfortunately, each episode was as boring as the last. I finally realized I hated it when I found out that I, one of the victims of the DBZ craze whome shall forever be a DBZ fan, had to force myself to sit through every ep.

[darkzi]

ya Chrno Crusade isnt related to Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross; first time hearing the show it got me too but had to research lol

[tanis_lionheart]

Blue Gender: The Warrior


It's a movie from scenes of the anime, that wasn't that great to start with, shoved into a really lame movie.

[Gleeman]

Clannad...just, Clannad. Incredibly boring and uninteresting. Keep in mind that I enjoyed Kanon and Air.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

coming from a guy who watched around 200 episodes of Bleach, I can say only one thing, TAKES FOREVAR!!! love Bleach, but its just goes nowhere fast.

I often only watch animes for the voice actors, which is pretty much the only reason I saw The meloncholy of whats-her-name, IMO it could have just ended at episode 6.

[XxFabiGBxX]

well, the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi....(i dont have to explain it, right??)

[Backmask]

well, the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi....(i dont have to explain it, right??)

Please explain.

[scarmullet]

FLAG, its dry, its slow, and it feels like a chore to get through. The story line in general is good though, and so are the visuals, the idea of showing the show through the eyes of the main character I thought was a cool idea.

[BladeGraffiti]

well, the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi....(i dont have to explain it, right??)

totally agree, the repetition was a nightmare and just hurt Haru-nyans reputation big time.

[abyssion1337]

[surgeon]

Suzuka, the characters pissed me off and I found the whole thing rather stupid


agreed the anime sucked. the manga was ok because at least they gave closer unlike somany pussed anime that leave you hangin at the end ...


for similair reason the anime version of ichigo100% sucked sobad i wouldve cried were it notfor the fact that its still not the worst ever

[NodMan]

god damn it nappa it's your fault dragonball z is being acussed of being gay.

so the NodMan what is your veiw on dragonball gt

Erm, never seen it.

[jinzo64]

not missing anything

[gk94]

ya its nothing much compared to the original or z.

[Shirker]

"Nothing much" is complimenting it.

[xawari]

Well, now on the second thought I regret calling Chr(o_O)no Crusade a total crap. Not total. But I've watched most episodes without real interest.

Now to add:
Girls Bravo (a standard fanservice anime with good beginning, good for people who didn't watch hundreds of similar animes)
Green_Green (+-the same)
Boogiepop wa Warawanai (can't remember for sure) (omfd! couldn't watch it at all. Also looks like they were using LAIN template or vice-versa)


Anime I regret watching without some tranquilizers: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni :D

And by the way, maybe It would be a good idea to post a complete list of what we've mentioned here to the beginning of this thread?

[abyssion1337]

I don't think that would be a good idea, a lot of people have mentioned anime that only didn't appeal to their tastes without being actually bad

[Chillpalazzo]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPIR_S1Zrcc

More of a cartoon then an anime, but holy crap. It's called Space Thunder Kids

[abyssion1337]

seen it, and it's just bad, it's not even so bad it's good, there's only 2 good things that happen in it but it's decidedly bad

[jinzo64]

yugioh if your not a fan of the actual card game this probably won't keep your interest, even if you are a fan of the card like me and my mates you'll just cringe and poke holes in the duels they have.

the first season was ok but every season after it was crap.... the card game is crap now to because all the original super card are ****ing worhtless now because there like ahundred cards amillion times better and theyre all ****ing retarded... like pokemon the card designer arent even trying anymore

[LOLWTFBBQ]

Tenjho Tenge when it started going into the whole past story arc after only a little bit of actual storyline was really annoying, the story did not support the characters and it got really old really fast and kinda repetetive

ya let alone they didnt finish it cause the manga is more up there than the anime..I looked it up and it's still ongoing and quite..ya....

[XxFabiGBxX]

school days cuz all the girls were bitches.... including makoto.

[darkzi]

any anime that is based of a manga that is still ongoing; face it they either incomplete it or release a ****load of fillers

[aokishi]

i personally didn?t like inuyasha the story fell slow, the secondary caracters got useless in record time, and the main character didn?t got that much variation either all of his new attacs were just powerup version of the main one.most anime have this problem but atleast the secondary caracter s add varaety but not herealmost every atact was too strayforward.
haruhi secon, the endless summer storie sucks higurashi is the only one to use the grounhog dy theme well.
any filler, stop washing naruto and bleach becase of it luckily din?t even touch naruto after the fight with sasuke until shipuden but couldnt stand so much fillers.but still read the manga

[tanis_lionheart]

The original Casshan: Robot Hunter.


God that was bad, even for cheap 80s anime, that was bad.

[abyssion1337]

[jinzo64]

the yugioh card game is a good game i tried magic the gatnering but just didn't enjoy it seems like a good game.

afro samurai all my mates like it but i'm not sure about i watched the series once and i even watched the movie still not sure if it was worth it.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

Afro Samurai was.... okay. it would have sucked if not for all the black lingo that I love to see in anime, just too good to pass up. wasnt that long anyway.

for another short anime, FLCL at the beginning had NO PLOT! it was very confusing and only made sense at the end when people started to kick ass, but it was still strangly cool...

believe it or not FLCL actually had quite the plot; it just takes a second watch to understand it, but it's actually very simple of a plot

[N8theGr8]

I'm going to say... Casshern Sins. Watched it @ Otakon 2k9, and it was punishment. I don't know if it's just not to my tastes or if it was bad.

[abyssion1337]

believe it or not FLCL actually had quite the plot; it just takes a second watch to understand it, but it's actually very simple of a plot

actually you can get the plot the first time through, after all it's very basic, but there's quite a few things involving the plot that happen early on that you will just miss.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

you dont find out its a simple plot until the end, until then, I was totaly lost because everything was random and unexplained, which made it seem like there was so much more to the plot

[Chillpalazzo]

FLCL is one of those shows that makes very little sense and is much better because of it.

its something chronic bro:praise:

kinda like watching Gantz. amazingly retarded characters, and satanic plot twists

[jinzo64]

i try to watch the type of anime i like and what my mates recommend some times i'll buy if it just looks good theres quite few of my anime dvds i havn't watched yet.

there was a sequel series but it was also very short and I'm not sure it ended any better I've seen the whole thing once, quite a while ago

[jinzo64]

i wasn't aware of that.
i like animes which only have one or two seasons like azumanga,lucky star and school rumble

[Fishfreeek]

any anime where the good guys never lose/die no matter how much damage they take.
also any anime that has over 52 episodes (mainly cause it will have the problem above...)

[Shuiia]

Well probably gonna get some weird stares but...Bible Black. Worst...thing...EVER It just made NO SENSE AT ALL and not in a good way. Only watched becuz of the wiccan crap

[abyssion1337]

any anime where the good guys never lose/die no matter how much damage they take.
also any anime that has over 52 episodes (mainly cause it will have the problem above...)

what about Monster? 74 episodes you absolutely should watch, Higurashi has passed the 52 episode mark and continues to kill main characters off all the time, Pain killed of several main characters in Shippuden, Rurouni Keshin had 95 and I'd still recommend the entire thing, Lupin III part II had over 150

let's face it, you're first premise is just false, giant robots beating the ever loving crap out of each other will always be awesome, even if the main characters have a 100% success rate.

and your second premise is just wrong

I think you're trying to steer people away from Shounen anime which I'd generally agree with, save some exceptions (yu yu hakusho) they're not very compelling or original but they're not really bad either,they follow a formula and do what they're supposed to do (usually) and really aren't bad enough to put on a list of things to avoid, besides every now and then if you want to watch something and not think about it and you some some action too you're pretty much limited to the genre.


Well probably gonna get some weird stares but...Bible Black. Worst...thing...EVER It just made NO SENSE AT ALL and not in a good way. Only watched becuz of the wiccan crap

Pseudo wiccan crap, and it's not even that, play the game it's based on the magic itself is nonsensical. Also there have been a few animated iterations so maybe you just got a bad one

[Fishfreeek]

i try to avoid animes that have over 52 episodes in a season is what i should of said as I have watched lots of stuff that has 52+ episodes if you include all the seasons.
also I have watched a few animes with moar episodes than that but i get bored of animes really quicky unless they keep providing me with awesome stuff, i have dropped quite a lot of animes that are good simply cause I get distracted by another anime and cant be bothered to continue watching it.
Oh and I dont like mecha animes but everyone has there own opinion...

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I personaly think that mecha plots suck. if I actually wanted that crap I would go watch transformers.

theres nothing quite like getting up close and personal to duke it out in mortal combat

mecha = the only way for a worthless pansy to score

[jinzo64]

excuse me but what are you watching that has 52+ episodes a season
most of the time an anime series has at somthing like 24-26 episodes in them this includes naruto and what will probably be the 12 seasons of bleach even dragonball z only has 36 episodes a season
i think someone may be exagerating a bit.

[Fishfreeek]

well I dont know if its called a season but its when an anime is constantly airing (e.g one piece), most animes after theyve done there 26 episodes or so they will release the next season in a year or so (e.g higurashi)

[jinzo64]

yeah i kinda get where your coming from i think but i didn't get constant streaming of anime i had wait for the new season to played when i was watching dbz on toonami it would get to the end of a season and if they didn't have the next season then they'd repeat all the previous seasons all over again it took ages to get to season 9

[Fishfreeek]

wow, **** watching anime on the tv then, ill continue watching it on my comp...

[abyssion1337]

he's right, naruto and bleach among other shounen titles are just continuous

and lolwtfbbq you must either be new to anime or you really don't think much about because mech anime is often used a platform for social commentary, at least the good ones are, you can always watch Gunbuster, almost any gundam series or gurren lagann (where the subtext spends a lot of time hiding behind the awesome) and get a much better experience out of it than some of the older mech series. that being said I don't mind the older ones all that much

[Leef]

I agree with Fishfreeek. i dont like shows that go on for too long. I think 26 episodes is enough. I stretched my standard for gundam seed but Im not watching gundam seed destiny because im board of all the characters and the story.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I never watch shows on TV, Ill just go with watching it online, or use netflix.

@Abyssion: I am deffinately not new to anime, I just concede myself to only that which I can tolerate or get a good laugh out of (but rarely I do watch an anime just to piss myself off) and that excludes mecha, which is probably the main reason for not watching Code Geass to date.

at least I hope I understood you correctly, cuz either I am just stupid or you could do with a grammar overhaul.

[jinzo64]

i'm not sure about animes based around mechs and yes i am pretty new to anime the first anime i properly watched that wasn't dbz was death note
then i saw bleach i hmv and thought i'd give it a go i've got kiddy grade to watch somtime.
i also like naruto even though it is long as a hole but each season is 26 episodes.
bleach and naruto are not continuous naruto ended and went in to shippoden bleach in japan is getting realy close to it's end bleach and naruto are saddly filled out with a lot of filler arcs.
in the case of bleach season 4,5,some of 10 and all of 11 are filler arcs i think the filler in naruto starts a couple of episodes after sasuke goes of to join arochimaru.
speaking of continues what about the gundam series what is there now

gundam, gundam wing,gundam seed,gundam destiny,gundam unicorn i'm sure theres more and you call bleach and naruto continuos.

p.s wtf does this mean lolwtfbbq?

no I'm only suggesting that you don't think very hard about anime you're watching, because mech series can be very deep it's just masked by robot battles. If you want to give a good comedy a shot that has mech battles as more of a feature I would recommend Martian Successor Nadesico

[LOLWTFBBQ]

wtf does what mean?

EDIT: I know full well that there are frickin amazing animes out there with genious plots and sick characters, but for now, I dont feel like watching something that feels it must use mecha.

[jinzo64]

Martian Successor Nadesico
oh i've got the movie for that i thought it was realy cool so i bought the series in a box set just need to watch it. but i tend to go back to watching what i know i like. like azumnga and lucky star

[Fishfreeek]

i thought this thread was about animes we diddnt like...

[LOLWTFBBQ]

thank you for pointing this out fish, I hate it when people go off-topic.

but talking about Azumanga and Lucky Star is fine for me here because I could never bring myself to watch either of them

[jinzo64]

well it is but people have differnent opinions on whats good and we got side tracked by stufff which i was a part of.
stuff is cool.

[Fishfreeek]

yes, and i realised another type of anime i dont like, ones that have a lot of fanservice

[jinzo64]

fanservice what excatly is it?
it been referanced in lucky star and azumanga but i don't think i have any anime with a lot of fan service.
i'm such noob:sweatdrop:

back on topic did i mention dragonball z fusion reborn is bad movie?

[Fishfreeek]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_service

[jinzo64]

oh i see thanks i thought was somthing along those lines.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

now that I think about it, Bleach doesnt have much of that (aside from fillers) compared to others.

[Fishfreeek]

yes but I dont bleach that cause of the episode amount and it one of those "good guys never die" animes

[jinzo64]

back on topic i wasn't as impressed by pani poni dash which is a pity because it sounded so simalar to azumanga,lucky star and school rumble

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I gotta agree, everyone has 50 gallons of blood to spare, and even worthless pipsqueeks still live even when the plot no longer needs them. kinda annoying in the end.

[jinzo64]

it's an anime it doesn't need to be realistic and if the did what your suggesting in bleach ichigo would have died 6 times by the end of season 3

[Fishfreeek]

back on topic i wasn't as impressed by pani poni dash which is a pity because it sounded so simalar to azumanga,lucky star and school rumble

pani poni dash makes refrences to other animes so in order to enjoy it to the fullist you have to watch lots of anime XD (mind you lucky star does the same so meh)

[jinzo64]

lucky stars reference are so blaytent heres my d.s.
if i do good on my exams i'll get a ps2.
oh look were playing on a wii i know they don't say that but it so obviously a wii there playing.
and then theres gundam where there talking about gundam but cut off the dam part of gundam but you can easily tell what there talking about.
pani poni dash isn't bad i just don't like it as much as i thought i would.

[Fishfreeek]

actually lucky star makes quite a few refrences to other animes as well, the biggest one would proberly be the initial d one (youtube it)

[LOLWTFBBQ]

ahh, theres another reason to hate: SONY AND NINTENDO!!

where the hell is MICROSOFT AND APPLE?!! I have yet to see an xbox or MAC being used in anything Japanese.

[jinzo64]

maybe they just don't like microsoft and apple

[Fishfreeek]

the reason there arnt mainy xbox refrences is cause the japanise dont really like them, the only refrence of one I can think of is in the manga "Mel Kano" as for macs ive seen quite a few but nothing springs to mind at the moment

[jinzo64]

i saw quite a few apples in deathnote:sweatdrop:

[LOLWTFBBQ]

i saw quite a few apples in deathnote:sweatdrop:

now where did I put my notebook.....


I find it hard to believe that Japan can be so stiff-assed that they could hate a company/system.

Im not gonna go into the whole 360 vs PS3 debate but I must say that Xbox has some amazing games that can top those of PS3 (pretty much only because Microsoft is a greedy bastard) and that the Japanese are really denying themselfs some sweet times by not playing.

Japan is pretty advanced when it comes to technology, so theres no way to say that they never heard of an Xbox.

hmmm, what about iPods?

[Chillpalazzo]

I've always heard that PlayStation has a lot more consumer loyalty in Japan than it does in other regions

Also, to go slightly back to subject, don't look at any fan-art of Death Note. You won't like what you will eventually see.

[jinzo64]

maybe there hard to reference with out getting pemission i mean in lucky star they reference the playstation 2 by using it's nickname the ps2 and they reference the wii by using what could be wiimote but they never say it's maybe thats why.

p.s i have your deathnote

[Shirker]

Fangirls can ruin just about anything. Even something as epic as DN.

To get completely back on subject. Inuyasha: The Final Act can be added to this list of no-no anime. Now, I personally didn't hate it, but I'm biased since Inuyasha is the anime that truly got me into the genre. If you're not a fan of Inuyasha, watching a non-explanatory anime on speed won't help you get into it, that's for sure.

[Leef]

off topic lol.
I hate bad anime

lol, forum fail. Heh, that wasn't aimed at you.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

well I personaly love refferencing in anime, even more so when its slightly changed to not go against copyright (and so on and so forth.)

back on subject: one thing I hate are video-games made from animes. they use a ****ty engine to make a game just to squeez more money off of a franchise. in America we do the same things, except we are more professional about it, using C++ coding and advanced engines, yet they still suck. so even more so in Japan.

hard to believe that a country with internet speeds that could blow ours away, robots that can run an African coutry better then their humans, and a booming massive population would settle with that half-assed crap.

do any Japanese games even use the Unreal Engine?

[Chillpalazzo]

but i'm a guy
I think he was talking about my post

Btw there are no girls on the internet

[jinzo64]

don't know maybe the japenese like simple graphics.

[Shirker]

Yeah, I think simplicity and cartoony graphics are just what the general fanbase likes. Like us and FPSs.

You'd be suprised at what games they make with GOOD graphics. Saw a top ten ftw about the top 10 most offensive games, and one of them was called Battle Rapers. It's practically Dead or Alive except with rape.

[Shirker]

Is it bad that I've heard of that?

[Leef]

i think High School of the Dead tries to hard to appeal ti everyone for me to enjoy. It has school girls, military tech, samurai traditions, romance, comedy, big boobs, eechi, oh and Zombies.

[Chillpalazzo]

Depends, did you think it was a good idea?

[jinzo64]

not really might be bad if you'd played but then on morals is rape any worse than murder which occurs in lots of games.

[Shirker]

If the word "rape" wasn't in the title... perhaps....

[Leef]

rape is worse than murder, especially if its a bbg

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I personaly hate all anime for being... ANIME! surprise! I could go on and on about how much I think all anime with less quality than Advent Children should be banned for failing animation, but that would just make me ragequit.

fortunately this year it seems like animes are looking better and better, using advanced 3D sequences and 30 FPS for some shots is becoming more and more common

EDIT: leef I gotta agree with you that HOTD is one of the best animes/mangas I have ever seen, and that I could add so much to that list you got there, except this is a haterz thread

[Chillpalazzo]

Don't watch the ending of Cowboy Bebop. That way you can believe the ending never happened

[jinzo64]

no don't watch the ending to cowboy bebop they all die from aids.

@BBQ:

Not the ones I've come across, heh.

And anyway, in that situation, it's not exactly ragequitting, is it? That's just being a rational human being.

[jinzo64]

whats this word rational you speek of

[Backmask]

Ragequiters act like ****roaches. ****roaches run away because of light, while ragequiters run because of anger.

[Leef]

this thread is not very friendly to the ragequiter

i think we should try and get back to the origional topic
trigun it's just not my cup of tea

[Shirker]

@BBQ
Of course I have... just now.

@jinzou
I would get back on topic, but like I said, unless I'm roped into a poor anime, I usually don't come across stuff I hate.

[jinzo64]

well i had mars milk shake

[LOLWTFBBQ]

Trigun was better as a Manga, I wish they would have followed it more closely, but other than that, it was great except for the slightly dissapointing ending

[Shirker]

Trigun will always have a special place in my heart, being it's one of those animes I loved when I was younger. However, after watching the series again recently, the latter episodes definitely went downhill.

[Leef]

Im watching code geass now and I like the story, but its hard for me to overlook how they make America look bad and make japan look important. but what anime doesnt?


about trigun: i cant say anything bad about it but I have to read the manga now.

[Shirker]

Those who write the story, choose the hero. I mean, look at Hetalia.

[jinzo64]

oh that gives me a thought on why micro and apple stuff don't appear in japenese anime or manga because there both amarican companies and during ww2 america dropped 2 nuclear bombs on japan maybe there still holding a grudge against america wouldn't blame them.

[Fortissimo]

Or, ya know, copyright infringement. There's that, too.

[Backmask]

In MGS4, Otacon used a MAC, and MGS4 was a game made by Asians.

[Shirker]

@Fortissimo

I don't buy that. JP shows always reference McDonalds or Coke without stepping over copyright boundaries. Hell, we here in the states always sidestep apple by replacing it with another fruit, like pineapples.

[jinzo64]

Or, ya know, copyright infringement. There's that, too.

legal smegal they got a grudge with the yanks so no microsoft or apple stuff in japenese anime or manga games don't count

[LOLWTFBBQ]

on the one hand their prejudice would make sense, but on the other, after we won the war by dropping the nukes, we built them back up, reformed their society, and pretty much made them what they are today. if not for us, they would probably be a communist nation, so I dont see why they gotta be hatin'.

as for copyright, putting an Xbox in anime would be like free advertising, and all you have to do to get around copyright is just change one letter in a name.

i.e. "Lets go back to my house to play Wheels of War 2 on my Zbox 720!"

[Backmask]

Lets get back on subject, I hate Naruto. I'm sure I don't need to explain.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I dont know enough about Naruto to hate it, but IMO the idea of a kid-ninja using majic is just fail. its way too mystic for me

[Fortissimo]

Pear brand laptops are certainly very popular, just go to the nearest WcDonalds in your Misubibi car. Also, the Japanese were isolated (by their own free will) even before WWII.

OT:I hate Bleach. I read it every week anyway, if not because of it.

[Backmask]

I never understood Bleach. They start fighting, and almost killing, the soul reapers, then they are allies.

[Leef]

also in code geass I noticed product placement of Biglobe.com That was the first advertising i ever saw in an anime. Do others do it?

[LOLWTFBBQ]

ooo a wikipedia link! impressive, now I have a professional reason to not watch it

[Fortissimo]

I hear Code Geass, yet I don't hear Pizza Hut. Surely you know Pizza Hut supports the rebellion.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it as well.

lol, product placement. I found it funny that AS had to cut the logo out when they aired it.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

its free advertising FFS, but I guess compainies feel if they dont get royalties their getting scammed

[Fortissimo]

American Pizza Hut: "We can't have our product advertised in some Japanimation, it'll ruin our image! It's not like the same people who watch anime are the same people who live off of fast food."

[jinzo64]

thats true i watch anime read manga play games and i never eat at pizza hut
i have a healthy diet vegtables and chicken erm kfc

[darkzi]

I only eat pizza cause my dad always got it after work and I grew up on TNMT..brainwashing at such a young age

[Backmask]

I like pizza, but I don't like Pizza Hut.

[Leef]

i think High School of the Dead tries to hard to appeal ti everyone for me to enjoy. It has school girls, military tech, samurai traditions, romance, comedy, big boobs, eechi, oh and Zombies.
i still think this

[whyilovetehanime]

Well I would go with Grenadier, lame ass story, only focuses on Rushuna's massive tits and just overall puke worthy friendships -.-"

Couldn't agree more!

[whyilovetehanime]

i can list some.. definetly negima, just a crappy rip off of love hina set in a school environment, also harhui (No comment) Grenadier, school days (The anime, the manga is alright) and ikkitousen.

[tanis_lionheart]

I didn't like 'Kingdom In A Cage'...or some such name.

It was done in the same animation style as Code Geass...

But the story sucked,
The music was generic,
The animation was cheap,
&
The whole thing felt like it was a cheap 'Transmorfer' movie.

[scarmullet]

Kite Liberator. What a lack luster sequel to a classic OVA, and the ending was just so......sudden. Almost like the ending to The Sopranos.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

i can list some.. definetly negima, just a crappy rip off of love hina set in a school environment, also harhui (No comment) Grenadier, school days (The anime, the manga is alright) and ikkitousen.

nice boat.

ahh yes, forgot about Ikkitousen (Battle Vixens). its actualy alot like tenjho Tengo, so they both suck pretty bad.

[nipple]

Ouran.

Just because.

Because it's... wrong.

The only anime I couldn't have endured. Along with Ultimate Girls.

that one is too much ecci though. oh wait...

[abyssion1337]

Ouran is actually good, remember nipple, try to do things that are actually bad and and not just things that didn't appeal to your tastes

[jinzo64]

isn't that how bad and good work:confused:

[LOLWTFBBQ]

thats like saying there are no absolute morals, that good and evil are just point of view (star wars refference FTW). there are allways shows that we agree just plain suck and should be wiped off the face of the earth, but once all those are named and discussed, theres nothing left, so we just go on what ticks us off, why, and let others make their descisions based off of that, so in the end, this is kinda like a review thread.

in conclusion: your opinion is highly valued, and its what keeps the thread going. (as long as people dont start flaming each other)

[nipple]

ok Abyss, then name at least 1 actually bad series in your list (not really obscure) and i'll find some people who worship it. I know it's not really the point but it's pretty close as you say something's good as it's a universal truth. I think there's no ABSOLUTELY horrible unwatchable animes (as a universal truth) and there are only ones I can't stand. For instance, I think naruto is as bad as twilight is, but there's a TON of people worshiping either of them. So, what do you think, they do like it because they just like bad storyline, character development etc or the movie just appeals to their tastes (aka they find something good in the movie)? And if you don't like something, isn't it about not finding anything appealing?

*edit*
ok, maybe I messed up "saying smth's bad" and "not liking smth" but thats just bad wording i guess

[Leef]

if this thread was just about shows that plain suck regardless of opinion, there wouldnt be much to talk about because nobody watches shows that suck that much.

[abyssion1337]

actually given the sheer amount of anime that most of us watch, we're bound to see things that have virtually no good qualities from time to time

[Generalvash]

I think naruto is as bad as twilight is,

GOOD LORD, why would you even put those two in the same sentence!?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that Naruto is the best thing sinced sliced bread or anything. I myself stopped watching the anime after Shippuden's pacing reminded me of a snail-race. I do still read the manga though and can say this much: The story for Naruto is good. I know that's a very basic statement but hell, even IGN thinks well of Naruto (http://tv.ign.com/top-100-animated-tv-series/38.html), they don't elaborate much though since it is a top 100 list. To sum up my point, as bad as Naruto can be, it will never try to brainwash an entire generation of women into being subservient domestic abuse victims (read twilight).

[awol360]

There's a couple I can think of.
1) Shigurui; I can't believe I watched the series all the way to the end. The first episode got me interested but this is probably the only anime that was SO gruesome and violent that I nearly threw up. It's twisted and gross.

2) Umineko no naku koro ni; At first I was excited to see another series from the creator and studio that make Higurashi no naku koro ni. Then about halfway through the series it just got too bat**** insane to follow.

3) I can't decide if I dislike Tenjou Tenge or the Queen's Blade series more. Tenjou Tenge looked like an interesting fighting series, until it turned out to be a series that was mostly flashbacks, fanservice, rape, sex, and more fanservice. I don't even want to go into Queen's Blade... I truely regret watching any of that series.

[abyssion1337]

I really enjoyed the Umineko series and games.

[Backmask]

Sadly, I don't watch much anime.

[nipple]

it will never try to brainwash an entire generation of women into being subservient domestic abuse victims (read twilight).

I was referring to the movie actually, to the first one to be exact. It's not nearly as bad as the book is (just guessing here (the book wastes a lot more time)). Though from what I've heard, the latest books are just unbelievable horrible, so I wouldn't even compare it with anything else on earth =P

[emrfish6]

i can list some.. definetly negima, just a crappy rip off of love hina set in a school environment, also harhui (No comment) Grenadier, school days (The anime, the manga is alright) and ikkitousen.

The Negima anime was horrid. Its manga, however, is epic.

[Generalvash]

@nipple

I was referring to twilight as a whole actually. When I said "read twilight" I meant it as "I was talking about twilight for that sentence". To my knowledge, all incarnations of the series preach the same message, regardless of whether it is in printed or movie form.

[abyssion1337]

well the book is so poorly written that I couldn't get passed the first chapter, the movie is so bad it's fun to watch but it stretches that at several pointsand it still has the problem of the books that none of the characters are remotely likable


The Negima anime was horrid. Its manga, however, is epic.

I haven't seen the anime, I heard it wasn't that bad and that the OVA's were great but I love the manga and given everyone's hatred of the anime I'll have to give it a pass

[Backmask]

The reason I couldn't get through the book, terrible story aside, was because that girl kept bitching.

[scarmullet]

See, I didn't mind the first Negima series (Negima!), but there are a couple other series like Negima? or Negima!?. All of which have the same story, just changed a bit.

[jinzo64]

i really liked negima! and it's ovas havn't watched negima!?

[XxFabiGBxX]

well I think that the HAREM its pretty cool cuz is very funny, but NEGIMA its exagerated....

and im not watching HAREM anymore, cuz is always the same: THE PRETTY BOY, THAT IS WEAK AND DOESNT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE GIRLS, AND EVERYBODY LIKES HIM.

[Fortissimo]

I could suffer through a harem, if they would at least think of some new scenarios. It goes through house, female living at house, running into female undressing, beach episode, and bath episode. Every time. Also the comedy is usually sub-par, relying heavily on the innocent protagonist getting beaten for no particular reason, or alternately, the outspokenly-innocent protagonist getting tempted by the harem.

[scarmullet]

Come on, the point of Harems is to give young virgin boys erections with cute anime girls in ecchi situations. Story is not priority.

[Shirker]

Gonna have to agree there. Getting upset at a harem having a bad plot is like getting mad at The Expendables for having a bad plot. If you're there for it, I'd have to take a quote from the first episode of Futurama and say: "I hope in time you come to realize what an idiot you've been."

[Fortissimo]

I see your point, but I still think if they would risk going to new locations with different kinds of girls they could get in even more risque situations, or even start the next trend, like maids or tsunderes.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

and car washes! or is that just an American thing?

[Backmask]

What do you want Fortissimo? Tentacle rape IN SPACE, or High School Harem: The Musical?

[Chillpalazzo]

Some harems do have good stories, usually they put the story first and the ladies second. I'd say Tenchi Muyo as an example but I'm slightly biased for that show :P

[Fortissimo]

In all honesty I don't like harems, unless they have decent comedy. My main problem is such a common part of anime has fallen into the same rut. I don't care what it is, someone shouldn't be getting money for using the Love Hina guy's story. Also, it's not porn, the ecchi is an important part, but the relationships are also central, and if those are rip-offs of rip-offs it's not worthy of money, even the money of young boys.

[Chillpalazzo]

unless they have decent comedy
There are harems without comedy? That does sound really bad.

[XxFabiGBxX]

actually all the harems are funny, but I said before, its always the same....

for example: Nagasarete Airanto, the protagonist is alone with 300 girls on an island, and everybody likes him, even they invite him to take a bath with them, but he always has nose bleeding...

[Fortissimo]

Tenchi Muyo, Kannagi, and maybe To Love Ru were pretty good (I think I watched parts of them like a year ago, so it's heard to remember), mainly because they actually had some good jokes (and in Kannagis case character development, decent twists and a path leading up to his relationship with any of the girls...in fact I'm not even sure if it's a harem). It's the legions of shameless imitaters I hate (looking at you, Girls Bravo).

[Inkwolf]

I'm bored with harems, but if they are reasonably original and funny, and not too sickening with the fan service, I'll still watch. I'm into comedy, action usually bores me.

I don't have many full-series hates, because if something looks bad I don't watch, and if I don't like it I quit after an episode or two.

In defense of Naruto, I thought it was really funny and good for about 15 episodes before it turned into marathon-length battles interrupted by hundreds of emo flashbacks.

I hated the ending of Spiral, because it was an awesome series and a really lame attempt to truncate where the manga clearly went on. Um, yeah, it's a HUGE victory to defeat one lowly peon of the conspiracy trying to destroy you. And yeah, after spending the whole series believing your brother is really secretly still alive, you suddenly decide you've come to terms with his death and are at peace. Riiiiiight.

And after about 80 or 90 episodes of greatness, Eyeshield 21 turns into a sorry mass of lamefail once they manage to get Musashi back. Suddenly Hiruma has someone sitting on the bench with him explaining and justifying all his plans to the audience. Give that quarterback a halo, 'cause every single thing he does has a noble purpose. Suddenly there's a weird excuse to play against a hundred more teams before they go to the Christmas Bowl. Suddenly every single game hinges on ONE player and their need to overcome their personal hangups, or the team learning to support/do without them. Grrr! Give me Hiruma's bazooka, I'll fix it.

[Fezik]

Okies =)

Sin the movie - utter crap, only made about halfway through it.

In defense for Bleach, I'd rather have fillers and them following the manga instead of the production team going and doing their own thing, IE; Geneon's Hellsing series. They butchered the manga for that Hellsing, leaving the original storyline after book 3 or 4 to go a random direction. Thank god they started over with the Ovas, too bad those might not finish T_T

Oh, and manga wise, I think for Bleach they've damn near killed off alot of the main and secondary chars. =P

Beserk - I originally enjoyed the series, and then started to read the manga.... nuff said.

Kenshin after season 2, pretty much worthless. OVA's kicked ass though.

Blassreiter - where as Gantz leads to traumatic killing off of main chars, Blassreiter just cycles through them like they don't matter, and then has some POS "The spirit of my deceased friends to defeat the enemy" crap ending. -_- there went several hours wasted of my life that I could have trolled here instead...

I think the biggest issue is when it is a long running series, production companies don't want to wait for the next release of the manga, or will plop together some stupid filler.

I usually give an anime a watch, despite it being bad. There really have only been a few that left me with a bad taste in my mouth, usually from my hunting for the manga for more, and then being pissed at how bad the anime bastardized the manga.

[darkzi]

Spiral- good anime but it finishes without explaining the main question that it starts

[stinkyfranki]

You know what? I'm probably going to catch flak for this but the hell with it. I'd have to say Neon Genesis Evangelion. Not one likable character in the whole show. The last two episodes are utter crap; the movie was the true ending in my opinion, and the ending STILL made little sense. The only reason I watched the entire thing was to see if ANY of the characters became likable . . . short answer: no; long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

OMG! Thank you! I definitely agree! Don't get me wrong, I thought Evangelion was decent up till the last couple of episodes and everyone is allowed to have their own opinions. I understand why people like it, but it doesn't do anything for me.

[Kajimura]

I would have to say Black Cat, it started ok but after awhile they were skipping around like crazy and the awful animation near the final few episodes (mostly the flashing neon color scheme) killed it for me.

read the manga

tejho tenge, i personally liked it but most people would get pissed at the long ass flashbacks

im gonna have to say desert punk, although i dont hate what ive seen of it i woudnt reccomend it, and its not really for anime fans

[Leef]

double post?

[Kuni Linguist]

inu yasha bleach naruto and any other soap opera anime... i cant handle the filler, the long ongoing stuff... its just to sell merch and to piss me off i think.

every season same thing, bad guys are stronger or new ones that are far beyond, give the chars a new power and maybe a new side char to help here or there, make the same repetitve jokes, maybe do a backround on everyone again, and 3-4 flashback episodes between all the seasons...

Mind you acknowledging dbz as the same kind of thing, it was one of my first anime, i like the fact it skims out the ****ty guys, gt never happened, and it makes for great jokes and movies and games. who doesnt love over 9000 inert balls?

and the animes i like, if your going to wonder, are trigun, although as you all mention, the manga is far superior, cowboy bebop, scrapped princess, key the metal idol, fullmetal was okay, edens bowy was slow but i got pretty into it. there are many others, like witch hunter robin which so many hate... i dont know why. samurai champloo was good. I guess i like my anime 12-24 episodes long. aft6er that it gets dragged out. although i did love golden boy with its mear 6 and would love to read the manga.

and i will get "flak" for this, but chobits wasnt amazing, it was kinda ****ed up at the end, in my defense i saw dears first, and like it better but still like them both. and Evangelion is ****ed

[LOLWTFBBQ]

and i will get "flak" for this, but chobits wasnt amazing, it was kinda ****ed up at the end, in my defense i saw dears first, and like it better but still like them both. and Evangelion is ****ed

pretty much gotta agree with everything here, I watched the first 11 eps of chobits but it got BORING pretty fast and lacked intrigue. I think you hit it right on the nose with Evangelion.

[humnut]

Hellsing. I hated it. Couldn't get past the first episode without turning it off. Piano was boring as hell to. Marmalade Boy was a cheesy rip of Sailor Moon. . . I guess. Oh, and before I forget, Death Note sucked more than anything has ever sucked before.

[Shirker]

More than D.N.Angel? That dog won't hunt, Seymour.

[jinzo64]

oh thats a pity i thought deathnote was realy good.

but then again i realy like azumanga but barty didn't.
he said theres a lack of plot for his liking.

[Vib-Bunny]

Off the top of my head, there's really only one Anime that I've seen and absolutely hated.

Kokoro Library.

It was cute and all, but that's about it. I didn't find it funny or entertaining in any way. I'm not entirely sure why I watched the whole thing, but I was certainly glad to see it end.

[animemental1]

Naruto-I prefer the 4kids' dub of One Piece over that piece of ****. The first few episodes were good, then it went COMPLETELY downhill.

Pokemon-Series got WAY too long when D&P started.

Eiken-I didn't really hate the series plot, I just hated the mindless fanservice.

[jinzo64]

i quite liked naruto even though the plot does get a bit stale after a while.

[Shirker]

The first series was the only one that was any good. That was host to some fight scenes that I, as an anime fan, will never forget.
Shippuuden (or post time-skip Naruto) took Naruto and tried to make it an epic, something the series as a whole isn't.

[abyssion1337]

the real problem with Naruto is that once they complete the Tsunade arc it's over 100 episodes of filler until shippuuden, and all buy like one of them were terrible and it's certainly not worth going through just to find that one arc

[Backmask]

In my opinion, Naruto's problem was the show lack of unique ideas and its over use of the horrid "Good guys will defy logic and win." It seems like during every fight the protagonist almost loses, but his/her allies appear at the last second, and they beat the villain, and on some occasions the protagonist will make a speech about something, which causes the antagonist to stray from his/her malevolent plans and join with the good guy. It also seems like most of the characters have had a tragic past, and even though a character might betray someoneg or start to like someone, they still seem to be static characters. Not to mention that Masashi Kishimoto can barely kill off a main character.

[XxFabiGBxX]

welll, actually naruto has a good plot and good fights, but im think that the creators are making it too long.

oh, im think that u shouldnt see Black cat, its just a waste of time

[Kuni Linguist]

i just felt like it was cheesy as hell and lame ideas, made for selling merch, and its good to rant about and make a few jokes, but even the jokes are too easy, believe it

[N8theGr8]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Naruto (in all its forms) is just like Barack Obama. I wouldn't dislike it as much as I do if its rabid fans weren't such idiots.

[jinzo64]

i'm not a rabid fan it's good but not great
i'd rather watch bleach or DBZ

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I dont like how they skrewed with with what a ninja is to make Naruto

[Corpsey]

I dont like how they skrewed with with what a ninja is to make NarutoThen tell us what a ninja is? I've yet to see any anime where Ninja's are accurately portrayed as human guerrilla fighters., not scantly clad large breasted females and giant musclebound men that have some sort of super powers. Reality isn't as entertaining.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

me thinks you dont know where to look.

ninja = one who is dedicated to the art of ninjitsu.

[ServerDestroyer]

I stopped watching the Naruto anime a long time ago. Instead I read the manga. And I have found that most protagonist in shounen anime/manga bore me a little bit, but I love a lot of the supporting cast. So I watch Bleach for people like Urahara and Shunsui. Also I fell out of love with the Mahou Sensei Negima! anime simply because of the fact that Jack Rakan never appears, and in the manga he does. He is at the moment my favorite character in the anime/manga-verse. Hopefully he shows up in the OVAs. And as for anime I absolutely deplore, there is only one, Strike Witches. I watched the first episode of that when it first came out, and immediately felt as though my IQ had dropped.

[Shirker]

@LOLWTFBBQ: Actually, I've heard that Naruto's world and powers are based on actual mythical folklore of the ninja... or something like that. I've got no source though, just something several people brought up on another forum I go to.

[jinzo64]

if naruto was based on reality it would be boring i think it's just went to be fun.
naruto a loud mouth nutter in an orange jump suit with the stealth abiltiy of a fog horn.

the only person worse is black star.
i always feel sorry for tsubaki.

[folio77]

MADLAX - Now that was the most boring 650 minutes of MY life.

[jinzo64]

realy that bad.
never seen it myself.

[Shirker]

You kept going for 650 minutes?

[folio77]

I really was expecting it to get better, for some reason. and before i knew it, BAM a big chunk of my life was gone. yes jinz its bad dont touch it.

[jinzo64]

i wouldn't suggest dokurochan
nice concept not very well done pity realy.

[Shirker]

Oh, dude.... You shouldn't have said that. Now I gotta post this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qyPSoZC2qc

[jinzo64]

did you have to post that at least it's not sonic heroes.

[Shirker]

Hey, when someone posts "Don't touch it" I gotta post it. It's a rule.

[folio77]

Ha, awesome...

[jinzo64]

not an unrighten rule.
you don't have to follow all the rules you know.
i know it's not an anime but sonic x was kinda lame.

[thedarkmessenger]

I remember sonic x >_>

[Shirker]

Sonic X is an anime. A very poor one at that.
I'd say it's one of the only anime where being butchered by 4Kids made it better. Atleast than I can laugh mockingly at it, rather than feel unsealable rage.

why did knuckles fall for the same lie again.
same lie three times.
what that saying
fool me once shame on you,fool me twice shame on me, fool three times i'm just a douche.

[brad22498]

Despite having an obsessive need to finish everything I start I have dropped 3 shows.
1. Bleach
2. Naruto
3. Rurouni Kenshin

The first two are definitely anime you shouldn't bother with. Kenshin just didn't appeal to me.

[zanemalindeal]

Fafner- OMG. You hate bad art crapy story and so on? Fafner has it all. Watched the first episode and it really was just a complete rip off of older animes, but with worse animation than the original Dragon Ball.

I liked Eva. There's a reason its on my top 2 fav. It screwed with your head. Yeah eps 25 and 26 sucked, but thats why you have to watch End of. Watch both endings and you'll understand enough.

[jinzo64]

well thats your opinion
havn't seen the third one
but realy like bleach and narutos pretty cool

so i say this to your opinion
http://www.anivide.com/thumb/c344.jpg

[zanemalindeal]

Bleach and Naruto anime i have to agree suck. Filler after Filler after Filler. Love the manga though. No where near as much whining from the main characters and not as much line repeating. Like "believe it" for instance.

[jinzo64]

believe it only lasted three seasons and was dropped becasue of complaints.
you dpn't have to watch the filler my mate likes bleach but as soon as he sees filler he doesn't watch it he just checks to if it back to the proper stroy arc.

[zanemalindeal]

Yeah, but the animation has gone to crap in both also. Watch the first eps compared to the most recent. Its pretty obvious

[jinzo64]

i thought the animation got better in bleach as it went on
in naruto it stayed relativly the same.

[zanemalindeal]

Not from anything i've seen. And i've double checked it several times. but at this point even if they could fix it i'm too far ahead of them to go back now.

[jinzo64]

oh well.
if you don't like it you don't like it simple as.
like i don't like sports.

[Kuni Linguist]

i love bacon, does that count for anything? and you shouldnt watch naruto or bleach, i heard you can get the aids from watching it

[LOLWTFBBQ]

remind me to go get a checkup with my doctor

[Kuni Linguist]

you go see doctor "uncle jerry" he is the doctor who always touched you bad and was your mom/dads brother. he says dont tell anyone or he will kill everyone I ever loved. he will check you up real bad... oh god why!

[Shirker]

"... and the priest is my dad, and he's not a priest..."

Okay... we're too damn bored. ****philia jokes are to be reserved. They are precious, like a ch--... F**K!

*sigh* I'm gonna occupy my time with that AMV I've been avoiding.

[thedarkmessenger]

I dropped Kanokon before I even finished the first episode. The fanservice in that anime was just WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY over the top for me. Although it did have a fox chick :3

[LOLWTFBBQ]

wait wait wait, theres a song that talks about this kind of scenario, I cant remember the name of it though!

[jinzo64]

bleach is the best and it won't give you aids

naruto is cool aswell

[Xalorith]

Naruto and Bleach get annoying with the mass fillers, so I just read the manga...

Bleach movies were **** in my opinion...

[jinzo64]

there seems to lot of hate for bleach nad naruto.

why the complaining about the filler arcs you don't have to watch them.

[Xalorith]

I don't hate Bleach or Naruto; I actually enjoy the manga for both. However in the anime, waiting months at a time (in some cases) for proper story just gets annoying.

Thats why I stopped watching the anime and now read the manga.

[XelaisPWN]

I can't seem to get into Lucky Star. First episode bores the **** out of me.

[Laughing Man]

I absolutely hate, Demon city Shinjuku. For some reason i actually bought it... Worst mistake of my life.
Enough said.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I can't seem to get into Lucky Star. First episode bores the **** out of me.

I can see how 5 mins of talking about food that looks like a dog toy would be boring, just watch the lucky channel at the end, its the compensation for the episode

[Shirker]

I can't seem to get into Lucky Star. First episode bores the **** out of me.

Your first mistake: watching the first episode. Even some Lucky Star fans believe it's one of the slowest starts in any anime. Give it atleast 2-3 more eps.

[jinzo64]

it's a pity that first episode of lucky star is slow as the rest of it is realy good.

[stinkyfranki]

I just finished watching the first season of Rosario Vampire. It wasn't very good. WAY too much fan service. I don't know what Japanese people's obsession with panties is, but it does nothing for me. That wasn't the only bad thing. A bunch of other things ticked me off. But I also watched Yozakura Quartet last night, which was an alright show. So they sort of cancelled each other out.

[XelaisPWN]

Alright, guys, I'll give Lucky Star one more shot. You've officially convinced me.

[jinzo64]

awsome you won't regret it.

[abyssion1337]

don't bother, Lucky Star wasn't that great

[jinzo64]

lucky stars awsome realy it is.
it like azumanga which is also awsome.

[abyssion1337]

It's not like azumanga, which is the thing: Azumanga was good, so there's one big difference right there

[Issitheus]

abys, you're starting to troll...

I tried watching School Rumble and hated it. I watched the first 5 episodes or so, saw and acknowledged the jokes, but couldn't laugh at them. It wasn't entertaining at all.
