Most Hated Animes

[nerve]

Hahahaha, I admire your courage flibberdy!

...

but you're opinions are wrong. sorry.

[Lizzie]

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with that.

I watched it a year or two ago and thought it was ok. Now I see and think "what the hell was I thinking". It's so...awful! I mean, they take something that is a little bit funny (the first time) then repeat about a million times. Yes, Osaka is a weirdo we get it, you don't have to show her zonking out 50 times for us to get the point.

Rargh!

Edit - to say I'm agreeing with flibberygibbit bloke, not you Chris

[ash]

woah!!! no waaaaaay!!! every1 loves Azumanga!!!!
man ure kerrraaaazy

edit: et tu lizzie?!! is there a secredt hatred for Azumanga?! i thought this was the one anime everybody loves and wants to see every week without fail?!!!

[jess]

Hehe, azumanga's okay. It's amusing most of the time, but sometimes it does fall a bit flat and is a little repetitive. But it's nice to watch ^^

One that I'm really not much liking *prepares to be stoned* is... elfen lied. >.> I just find it to be a bit too... gratuitous. "Hey look, boobs!", "Hey look, naive naked girl in a compromising situation!", "Hey, look, arms and legs being torn off! Lotsa blood and violence!". It's... meh. And as of yet, there's not enough of a plot (or even promise of one, to be honest) to make it seem like it really has a point. Aaaaand I don't really like the art. *is awkward* ;D

[ash]

hehehe...i can see where you're coming from with that!! but personally all i need is violence ;D well- actually i do like the animation too, i think the music is awsome, and as for a plot- i think its building!! i can see qsome quite nifty charcter development coming on! the random nakedness is a bit overdone sometimes!! but i quite like eflen lied- mainly for the head twisting arm ripping violence!!

i admit azamanga is a bit repetitive sometimes, but wen its funny, its hilarious

[Pusscat]

I'm with you on the Elfen Leid, Jess! Put away the boobs and mix in a bit more plot and perhaps it would be better. So unnecessary!

I have to say that although the Gankustuou or however the hell you spell it looked interesting plotwise, the textures were absolutely appalling. Did they just get lazy and decide they couldn't be arsed with it?

[nerve]

I think that was supposed to be stylistic...I thought it was neat.
Elfin Leid, to be honest, I could certainly do without seeing on a weekly basis, but I don't hate it. And how has project Ako not crept in here yet? or is it not even worthy of our contempt?

[jess]

yeah, i will admit that elfen lied has good music =p

hehe, i suppose the animation of gankutsuou is probably an acquired taste... but you get used to it! and it's sooo pretty ;D my boyfriend had a similar response (not that he likes anime anyway, but i forced him to watch some ganku, and he haaaaaated it. thought it looked lazy and said it gave him a headache ) but apparently, the texture thing takes just as much time to do as normal animation, as it's all done digitally these days. And yes, the plot is amazing ;D

ahhh, project a-ko. D: yeah, that was actually the cause of me leaving early that week. Just... wtf. so bad.

[Hat_Hair]

Project A-ko bashing? What a sorry sight to see. You are aware that it's a spoof, though, right?

doesnt mean it cant suck, sorry. i dont know what its a spoof of, being fairly new to most anime, so i dont find it funny myself.

elfin leid is nasty, i didnt really want to see that episode on thursday. and azumanga gets on my nerves a little too . its just so bloody weird at times, even if it can be funny.

i prefer serious animes, so i probably wont like the same ones you lot do

You can always leave and go have a drink in the Old Bar or whatver, though. That's what they put the door there for

I didn't like the first episode of Elfen Lied, but it's grown on me since.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno.

You think Azumanga's weird? Don't ever try watching Excel Saga then, your head will explode. Mind you, then I'd get to co-opt THE HAT... umm... watch Excel Saga! ;D

[ash]

oh dear...enough with the excel saga....*nose bleed*

Difference between Ranma and Furuba: FB has interesting characters with depth and is actually emotionally affecting. XP

I don't know, I'd say Ranma has interesting characters. Most of Rumiko Takahashi's series are completely character driven. Hence why they can keep on going for so long. Whereas I find most of the characters in Fruits Basket pretty annoying.

Angel Cop is pretty bad. Oh an Urotsukidoji is possibly the worst thing I've ever seen ever. That one we watched the other week that was based on the count of monte cristo was uggers too.

yeah, i might start doing that, i just wasnt expecting it to be that bad after the week before's was ok.

my hat! grr

yeah, i know some animes are really weird, ive seen some pretty crazy films of my friends, but azumanga is just odd enough not to hold my attention. like i said, its funny, but it kinda drifts off into some random hallucination scene and i lose the plot entirely.

not saying that its bad, that you lot shouldnt watch it, i dont try to force my opinions on everyone else. i just might start coming in late after theyve both finished instead.

[jess]

eh, spoof or not, project a-ko was still very painful to watch.

and...gah...! 'gankutsuou' and 'ugly' do not belong in the same sentence! ;D

[Hat_Hair]

Ah, you guys have no sense of good anime. Spoilt, that's what you are. Why, in my day, if we had to stay up until midnight to see something like Fist of the North Star (which I love for it's awfulness), then by heck, that's what we did!

Anyway, er, hate. Ichigo 100% can be my target. A loser guy gets chased by various attractive girls, and constantly dithers about which one to choose while being thrown into various compromising situations. And he didn't just dither, HE KEPT GOING ON ABOUT HOW HE WOULD LOSE THEM ALL IF HE DIDN'T STOP DITHERING!
Also featured the classic style of "Hey, things are slowing down a bit, let's add another female character to the main cast" style of writing.
I think this is pretty much the epitome of bad shonen romance, with ridiculous fanservice and boys getting nosebleeds.
At one point a female character rises up shouting, and her clothes burst open. For no reason! Her shirt and bra just seem to fall off randomly, the explanation given that "she got a little excited, and she's a growing girl". Oh, for fucks sake.
Grr, rage.

Haha, that's how I saw it. Channel 4 I think. Then after that, they usually showed a really bad Kung-Fu movie or something from 70s Japanese Cinema involving towns being burnt, rape, samurai swearing revenge, then lots of beheading. That made my friday nights.

hahah yes! i remember being hooked on 3x3 eyes staying up ungodly hours, and before it all johnathan ross or helen mcarthy would do a documentary on anime which basically involved bigging up akira for half an hour, as it was the only decent thing around at the time

then the god awful kung fu movies - the prodigal son, now it wasn't anime but that was bad!

[lelio]

I can't actually decide if I like Azumanga Daioh or despise it's soul crushing sweetness. One thing I am certain of hating is Project A-Ko from the dodgy spine shudderingly bad dub to the got awful child like animation. Not even £2 on eBay stopped me from feeling ripped off. T'is that bad!

[keroro]

stop ripping a-ko

its like watching kung pow and saying the dubbings bad if ur taking the piss out of a spoof

[Clefairy]

I absolutely HATE with a passion Sgt Frog- Sorry Tony. Also Alfen Leid is far too depressing (that episode with the child abuse really made me wanna slit my wrists).. Also all the fighty, grituitous violence containing anime does my head in.

Ranma 1/2 and azumangadaioh- best animes ever! How dare you not like them!!!!!! And the animation in Gankustuou is amazing. The plot is fantastic also.

Just a note to any of you that, just cos you dont like an anime you dont let it on the board to be voted: that is majorly wrong and should never never happen (mostly thinking of Ranma 1/2 here which apparantly Lizzie didnt let on the baord cos she didnt like it and live action sailor moon that Tony didnt want it on so it wasnt put on.)

So Sara, and any others that have had their anime mocked, feel free to bring anything you want... and if the majority dont like it, it wont get voted for but at least it will be given a chance.

[Pusscat]

Sorry Claire - but that's completely untrue!

If I banned animes I didn't like from getting onto the board, there would be no Sgt Frog, Azumanga or a whole host of other things that have been shown.

The whole point of the Bring and Vote system is that it's democratic, certainly one person's anime may not be another's cup of tea, but it's up to each individual to use their votes wisely to get to watch what they want to see.

I certainly haven't stopped anything being put on the list, but I may well have made somewhat negative noises as in "Oh god noooooooooooooo not Sgt. Frog again!!", but that's just me voicing an opinion. Part of the idea of a society is to discuss things and see what different views and opinions people have of X.

[ash]

yeh- i honestly think its just tongue in cheek complaining! i dnt think nebody actually has stopped ppl putting up an anime up for vote!! like im always nooooooooooooooooo...not pokemon!! and i do actually dislike pokemon!! and i may something like "don't you dare vote for it", but i am just kidding ;D!! since its kind my unofficial role to put things up on the board now!! i'll make it clear....

*Bring any anime you want, i shall write it up, and it shall be voted on*

[Clefairy]

ok, fair enough, i may just have miss understood and taken what was said slightly too seriously... but yeah, I had been wondering why the mention of Ramna hadnt been heard in a while and I guess I must have put 2 and 2 together wrongly... I guess even I say NOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CANT PUT THAT ON! as a joke to Tony whenever sgt frog gets mentioned.
