Worst Anime Poll

[IndigoShirtProd]

Don't waste your time

At the very least I should explain why I don't like Tokyo Ghoul.

Tokyo Ghoul is a horror thriller anime that tries to convince you that's it's deep, thoroughly psychological, and that its characters are worth feeling something for. They're not. Ken Kaneki has a name that will take you the entire season to remember, even though he's the main character. He's uninteresting and unsympathetic as a character that you will come out of the first season asking why you wasted time on him.
The premise of the anime is that human now fear "ghouls" human looking monsters that feed on the human race and also have superhuman abilities. Ken gets into an accident, along with a ghoul that tries murder him. A psychotic physician gets the bright idea to transplant the organs of the ghoul who tried to murder him into his body to save him. From then on, Ken Kaneki is now a ghoul, losing the ability to enjoy human food, except coffee for whatever reason (it's that way for all ghouls), and begins craving human flesh. But he doesn't want to eat humans and I guess that's the central conflict of the show. Watch as hi-jinks ensue between ghouls and humans while you beg mercilessly for each episode to end.
You'll get to the season finale where Ken Kaneki has decided to embrace his ghoulishness and team up with the bad guys for . . . reasons. You'll keep watching, hoping for answers for his sudden turn (I guess it's because he was psychologically tortured, trust me it ain't a good enough reason).

Whatever. I watched the first season, and half of the second and all I wanted to do is take a sledgehammer to Ken Kaneki's head. He's not a bad person, just a bad character with no defining traits and no reason to like him. I don't get why so many people fawn over him; maybe I would've found out had I finished the second season.

I also don't like Akame ga Kill. It's another case of trying to force the audience to like flat, uninteresting and slightly annoying characters. The titular character is the only one worth liking but she really doesn't do anything, at least from what I've watched.

I choose none of these and go for

Deliquent in Drag

A gem of bad anime everywhere

[Rhonder]

Hmmm none of the above I guess? The ones of these I've seen, I've liked (to some degree at least) and the ones I haven't seen (all of the dragon ball stuff, Death Eater, Big O, Boruto), can't comment.

[GesuGesu]

Dynamic Chord isn't on there despite being the one anime that even animators in the industry made fun of.

[GamerPrincessXI]

Wow.....That does sound horrible. I'm sorry that you had to watch it.

[GamerPrincessXI]

Never heard of it or watched it. I'm sorry.

[ButterflyEmpress]

Same! That show was a snooze fest and those who read the manga first all ripped their hair out in frustration

[Freemints30]

I dont know about the anime I read the manga. I personally found it ok, I liked the keneki's character arc but I wasn't interested enough to read the sequal, mostly because I have stuff I enjoy that I want to watch. Really none on that list seems to me to be what I consider the worst. I either found them good to just ok(never heard of death eater so that's out).

Really the worst anime specifically I seen was soul eater not, for being a horrible follow up to the most action pack horror series and one even worse that is so bad I can only whisper its name. it was awful >Nobunaga sensei's child bride<. Fuck that garbage and may it burn.

sword art online, simple generic but fully deserving of my hate, only good thing to come from it is the abridge series XD

[GamerPrincessXI]

Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT consist of one character who is a space monkey and he gets his tail chopped off and turns somewhat human. He's name is Goku and I kid you not (That spirit bomb episode dragged on forever like a span of ten episodes, he asked everyone in the world for them to lend him their power to destroy a another space thingamajig. In the end, that thing didn't even have matter.) That's kinda why I dropped the show.

[GamerPrincessXI]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, that's my show.

[IndigoShirtProd]

Yes it drags, but you gotta give DB and DBZ credit for practically allowing the shounen genre to be what it is today. I thought DB was a bit boring, I love DBZ, and I, like the rest of the fandom, want to act like GT never happened.

Yea and I haven't any good things about sword art online. sorry.

[claiborneart]

Death Eater = Soul Eater, right?
There's too many terrible anime for any remotely popular one to be the worst, but Soul Eater is one that I found uninteresting and stopped watching a couple episodes in. Dunno why, just found it not worth my watch.

[DokiDokiTsuna]

I don't really understand what the point is of having a poll for this kind of thing. It's like asking 'Worst Book' and only listing the 10 most recent NYT Bestsellers.

Like...there are HUNDREDS of anime out there, and anyone who actually watches anime of their own accord will likely know of dozens that aren't on that (very mainstream) list. What are the odds that the ones they think are the worst will even be on it?? None of the worst anime I've ever seen are on there, and I don't even watch a lot of anime.

[Saturn150]

You forgot hunter x hunter, nichijou, code geass, shinsekai yori, cowboy bepop, houseki no kuni, cross game, erased, stein's gate.Those series made me fall asleep.

[GamerPrincessXI]

I guess I should clarify the poll number stops at 15. I would go back and edit the post eventually but actually this entire list was one I watched. I actually loved all of them. I just wanted to how many hated them. It was more of experiment.

[ar-ninetysix]

I hear it's much more worth it to read the manga, it's a much more complete and competent story in comparison to what the anime presented. The anime goes off into an original storyline and speeds through chapters and breezes by some side character arcs like crazy. I wouldn't say watching the show's a waste of time, but it is an inferior way to experience it.

That said, I really don't think it's as bad as you say it is. Kaneki's.. so bland and innocent in Season 1, and then he turns edgy for Season 2 because of that torture. Season 3 he's.. normal-ish, but changes personalities a bunch by the end of Season 4. He joins the bad guys in Aogiri to essentially see whether they were a threat to the good ghouls in Anteiku. That's basically it. But the conflict was never about him wanting to eat humans, he could've just safely eaten the prepped meat, but he chooses to feed on ghouls later.

It's essentially about Kaneki's ever changing ideas of what he considers being a human, and what's right or wrong depending on his own circumstances. And he forms these through the interactions with the three main sides. You got ghouls who wanna live as humans, ghouls who give into their hunger and eat humans, and the humans who hunt down the ghouls mercilessly. It tries to explore what it is about each side that makes them think that they're in the right for living the way that they do. It doesn't do the job in the anime quite well, but you know.. the studio (same one that worked on Naruto) made poor decisions in planning.

@GamerPrincessXI I say.. you give it your own opinion if you get around to watching or reading it lol the show was already divisive enough with its own fanbase it was trying to cater to. so as someone who's never watched it, I do recommend you give it a try on both ends

[DualDragons]

I also don't like Akame ga Kill. It's another case of trying to force the audience to like flat, uninteresting and slightly annoying characters. The titular character is the only one worth liking but she really doesn't do anything, at least from what I've watched.

True.

Also, in the anime they all die (well almost). Which I don't know if it's the same within the manga? (Tell me if i'm wrong).

Sorry if I spoiled it to someone

[AceRagz]

I've either never seen some of these or thought they were mostly okay. Though I flat out have put off watching Naruto after dealing with the fan base in second life.... I'm like nope just all kinds of nope on that. I will write in Captain Harlock. My roommate gushed over the recent movie so I decided to watch the series.... I can't tell you how many times I fell asleep trying to make it through the first episode

[nostalgicroxas]

Why are Big O and Kenshin on this list? One is basically historical and the other is amaze-balls.

I'd say I hate Dragon Ball. I don't like GT much either but at least it was a fan project that got approved by the original creator that yeah you did something cool with my characters. That's neat. Dragon Ball is just... it's so wild and crazy. I think I dislike it more because I saw it after Z.
Also, that doesn't list YuGiOh as a whole to the current sessions, or if OP means just the original series - in which case - if they mean YuGiOh Season 0 then my god that is a piece of historic gold.
Back to Dragon Ball and my dislike of it - I think the plot is just all over the place. It's the time period it was made which isn't a bad thing - have you seen the og Saint Seiya? - but this one is just... it's so odd. I blame Journey to the West.
