Linebarrels of Iron. My god that show was awful. Horrible character AND mecha design plus a main character that was a complete ass for no reason? I'm surprised I made it to episode 4.
There is your problem, the first 4 or 5 episodes are just the main character being a whiny kid, at least after that it is no worth then any other generic shonen.
OT: I really hated the ending to Code Geass and Buso Renkin. They weren't bad other than that but I just didn't like the endings.
Dragon Ball Z or pro wrestling as an anime with less of a plot and fights that last 3 or 4 episodes and are 70% people standing still screaming. Woooo!
and the lets scream Inuyasha, Kagome for like half an hour show.
Sure Dragonball Z started to fall into this after the Frieza saga, but Dragonball is a great anime and so is Dragonball Z. Sure they stand around pooping themselves for 5 episodes, but at least when something happened it was the most badass 15 minutes on TV.
Such a good series.
Saying that though Dragonball GT is probably the worst anime I have ever seen.
It has to be tied with Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and post-first season Pokemon and Yugioh.
What are you talking about? Dragon Ball Z was like that from the very beginning, always standing around powering up and taunting each other, watching them charging a super for a whole episode to find it does fuck all in the next. Then the other parts were filled with cliche crap, clumsy character moments, angry women & drama queens, flash backs and random filler. I think I watched Goku charge up a spirit bomb for 20 episodes, just to find out it didn't do jack.
Dragon Ball wasn't as slow as DBZ but really childish, really really childish. There is no way your going o convince us it's great.
First of: Us. As in Nautical Honors Society and me.
Second: I watched it when I was kid. I used to like many things that had a lot of flash, stupid humour and sensless violence, but then I grew up.
Third: *sigh* Don't make it difficult to respect you, there was no reason to be a smarty pants. If you respond rudely because you hate seeing an opposing opinion then that's very immature and you probably shouldn't be here.
You know this thread is about listing the worst anime you have ever watched right? But it seems as though you came here just to pick a fight with me. Sure you could argue you were going to say DBZ is the worst anime, but in reality that would just be a cover for you not actually responding to the thread at all.
If you respond to people completely ignoring the purpose of the thread because you feel the need to call someone out with an opposing opinion then that's very immature and you probably shouldn't be here.
This has gotten silly, and I don't want to hijack this thread any further, please resist the urge to respond to this because I will no longer continue this conversation.
OT: Naruto, Bleach, One piece, and Dragonball GT are some pretty bad anime.
I also like intrigue. Plots and scheming, which is why I was deeply moved and entertained by Death Note and Code Geass (and I must stop there lest I spew acid on dissenters), but I should probably get back to mentioning something that others should avoid...
I guess the Gundam 00 movie wasn't too nice, but some might label it a disappointment.
Setsuna was outright useless most of the time, and then they pulled a "Let's be Friends!" ending. The "antagonist" was also repetitive and boring.
Glass Fleet had some nice action sequences, but it did have a few issues, the greatest of which was it's blatant violation of physics and biology (saying that may sound quaint when talking about anime, but if you've seen the series you'd know why).
You might wanna give One Piece another try. I'm up-to-date on all the manga chapters, so I know that about halfway in it gets kinda boring... but once (SEMI-SPOILERS) the time skip happens, it gets REALLY interesting.
Off Topic: That is a poorly chosen statement. The time skip is way too late in the series for your suggestion to hold any sway in pulling in a fan.
I personally found MD Geist to be under the category of Hilariously Bad for me.
On Topic: Burst Angel - Greg Ayres sure does know how to ruin a series for me.
Bleach - for the obvious invincibility of most if not all of the characters. Can't help but feel sorry for Chad though, always gaining an increase of power only to take a swift nap in the dirt, sand, etc.
Blassreiter - I couldn't get past maybe five minutes of the first episode. Gratuitous CG is a major turn off for me, and I rarely ever enjoy anything that uses it.
High School of the Dead - I've only seen one clip of an episode. The part where the boy slams the injured girl onto the ground, uses her bosom to steady his aim, and then proceed to miss every fucking shot he fires at the horde of zombies standing shoulder to shoulder ten feet away. Then there's the part where the camera follows the bullet to the chick with the bokken and it shows the bullet passing between her breasts SEVERAL times in slow-mo. Her breasts should have been ripped apart by the sheer speed of how fast they would have to jiggle to do what they did.
Soul Eater - For the same reason the first Full Metal Alchemist didn't sit to right with me. The anime got to the point where it was equal to the manga in it's story, so they decide to do whatever the fuck they want and end it with some bullshit feel good moment.
Most of the mainstream animes that get a gratuitous amount of hype and fanbase usually end up on my shit list.

No, I'm sorry to say they didn't... in fact they still have a Saturday morning cartoon segment on the CW... I know... my brother watches it... he's 20...<.<

I've only really sat down and watched five anime series:
1. Black Lagoon
2. Ghost in the Shell
3. Grenadier
4. Fullmetal Alchemist
5. Neon Genesis Evangelion
Of those, I'd have to say that Ghost and NGE were my least favorites. Ghost had a good plot and cool characters, but it's SO BORING (probably wasn't a good idea to watch it right after Black Lagoon).
As for NGE, I was lost from the start. I can only remember that when I watched the end of the series, I thought I was on an acid trip.
FILLER TO THE BRIM, MULTIPLE EPISODES WITH NOTHING BUT 1 CONVERSATION
Nothing ever ever ever got done unless you stuck through about 100 episodes to see how a fight ended, and I decided not to.
Compare that to something like Code Geass, every episode SHIT GETS DONE, SHIT GETS DONE FO' REAL. A country gets taken over in literally 10 seconds near the end!
I shudder to think how long it would take Bleach to do even half as much as what happens in one Code Geass episode, even the more comedically oriented ones.
I think each almost all of the ones on my hit list have already been mentioned, but here goes:
Sins of the Sister - don't ask.
Queen's Blade - ditto.
Samurai Deeper Kyo - Shiina Yuya is the Krillin of the series. There I said it.
Lucky Star - Proving that anime is slowly turning from a method of story telling to a social simulation supplement. There I said that too.
Mayoi Neko Overrun - watching the tsundere character is like watching a Ferrari only driven in first gear. On that note, Sora no Otoshimono is also guilty of the same crime, but not to the same degree. (IMHO: Comic Party is one of the few shows that did tsundere well.)
Good Luck Ninomiya-kun - watching the relationship development is like watching a Ferrari (you know the rest). On that note, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu almost every anime out there is guilty of the same crime, and while some aren't as bad, the list is just too big to list. (IMHO: Onegai Teacher, is one of the few shows that did relationships well.)
Edit: Oh yeah how could I forget Futa koi alternative? I think my mind just rubbed it out.
Hate D-gray, inuyasha, naruto, bleach, one piece, haruhi season 2 never ending cycle... I probably have a lot longer list, however i usually quit watching after the first 2 episodes if i really hate an anime.
reminds me, maria holic <- filler, not a single plot development and for some reason people like it.
