Actually, scratch that, watch it. it's so unintentionally hilarious, and fails on every level. If any of you want to know what a truly terrible anime really is, then you must watch this.
Also, Tenkuu Danzato Skelter Heaven, which is made by the same people and is just as horrible.

As for one I wouldn't recommend, probably Eiken.
My god, it's so horrible it's not even funny, unlike Mars of Destruction.

And Apocalypse Zero. I couldn't get through the first episode, it was so hideous, and is one of the worse things I've ever seen.

None of you people know what a bad anime is until you've see any of these shows.
Oh god...Eiken and Mars of destruction...


Also, can somebody please explain to me what's so good about clannad? Granted I've only watched a few episodes but it's so...generic.

Umm... actually, I've never seen an anime I didn't like...

Granted, I've only seen 4 series... But I liked them all!

Hmm, there hasn't been an anime I haven't liked, the one I liked the least however and can recommend not watching is Fruit's Basket. Didn't read the manga, which I want to go and do, because the concept and characters were interesting. But it didn't seem to go anywhere, and it just ended, nothing special happens or anything, while there's meant to be a truckload more in the manga.

Anime's I can recommend are darker than BLACK, Spice and Wolf (I loved teh story and characters, it just seemed so great to me) Gurren Lagaan, and Wolf's Rain....it made me cry...and I found the characters very 'real' and the music fantastic. Good anime movie to watch for the story and animation is 5 Centimetres per Second, I adore it (not so much now since I broke up with my GF...but now I can relate to it, I feel like the guy from it).

I guess you should avoid animes as a whole... That way you spare yourself of a lot of wasted hours.

I think a better thing for the OP would be to post genre's or story archetypes that he doesn't like, otherwise this whole post is like shouting into the dark and expecting directions on how to get through
but as for recommendations: there are very few that I actually dislike since I have a huge collection.
but I think Gunslinger Girl so far is the only one to avoid simply because it felt a little slow to me other than that, there's not really much that I wouldn't recommend

Only seen 1 ep but my god, in short; if you want to see S&M and bondage, just go onto a porn site instead.

I watch anime with my Wife so she loves girl animes like Host CLub and fruits basket.
I watch them with her but when I'm with friends I watch stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
I also enjoyed Fullmetal alchmist (have not seen brotherhood yet), death note, wolf's rain and to a lesser extent claymore (weird ending but otherwise good) and ghost in a shell.

I wanted to know what animes were just plain bad and I should stay clear of;
My main example was Gantz: Really slow, Hopeless Story, Crap Ending.
Another one I would avoid is Hack sign: the whole thing just seemed to drag on too much, plus the main character seemed like a big whiney baby.

Since you have a large collection prehaps you could give me some to stay away from?

Neon Genesis Evangelion

- a scene at train station where nothing happens for ages, the only noise is cicadas
- the most annoying characters ever created by mankind
- long periods of boredom and irrelevance spliced with overly faux-intellectual rhetoric and the most ridiculous designed machines/storylines created by mankind

Starship Troopers (the anime and the horrible film) are better than this.
I have to agree with you on this one. I did enjoy the occasional battle and the music was cool.

I have to disagree with Starship troopers. The first one was a blast but the second was horrid B grade. Have not seen the anime. Is it good?

The second half of death night.

Once a certain character (you'll know who) dies, stop watching. It's a perfectly fine, if depressing, conclusion to a well made show. The rest of the series just meanders and spirals downward in terms of quality after that

Lucky Star.

It had such a massive fanbase on the anime site I sometimes visit, I decided to give it a try, and... WTF? This is like Azumanga Daioh, only without the fun.

I'm getting the feeling I should stay away from: Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Piece and Bleach because they go forever. I think One Piece is up to 500 episodes?

"Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted" I dunno who said that but there it is.

This is also reason why I started this post, I did WASTE money and time watching some bad series. I'm getting alot of good info on series to avoid tho.
