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.PureChaos said:
For me, I'd say Evangelion and Fooly Cooly. Neither of them made much sense to me. At all.
But especially Fooly Cooly.
Other than that, no. I have this weird thing where I'll go like... a year fascinated with Anime like Bleach or One Piece, then a year in love with mecha anime, etc. I've hardly ever come across an "awful" anime.
That being said, most of the time the Anime is worse than the manga in that they take liberties with filler arcs and throw in shit that doesn't matter. To those that said Bleach or Naruto, try reading the manga. The're much faster-paced and have a hell of a lot less filler.
the worst anime ever is Oh My Goddess. It makes Naurto look like high art. it makes salor moon look like shakespeare. Its the biggest piece of shit i have ever had the misfortune of veiwing.
I mean harem anime in general have a %99 chance to fail but this...oh my gosh.
there is no story what so ever, just one dude who seems to be scared of his own penis living with a bunch of girls who throw themselves at him. instead of hitting it or politely saying no thanks he spends the whole time stumbling around like a retard, practically tripping over his own boner.

I've said this already, but if you like reading I suggest you try the anime. The chapters have a much faster pace, and any filler (there is very little) is actually pertinent to the story. Most of the time the Anime takes liberties with filler arcs and throe in shit like the Land of Snow arc.draken693 said:
I never GOT to the ending of Code Geass. After I realized that Lelouche had an infallible "I WIN" card, I gave up.The_Evermind said:
At least Naruto and Ichigo can lose once in a while. Lelouche just went, "*****, please *opens eye* *gains fucking ARMY*"
Anything that had ever been touched by 4Kids. Seriously they can take any anime and turn it into total shit. No other company that I know of can butcher an Anime like 4Kids. Except maybe for the guys who originally dubbed Dragonball Z, but even they allowed people to punch eachother.
Specifically and non 4Kids related... hmmmm... I'll have to go with Evangellion. Just because the show itself was more angsty then Cloud Squall and Lightning fuzed togther, and the ending made no sense. After that, the third anime of Tenchi Muyo. Horrible animation and stupid plot all around.

That I actually got through?
Shuffle.
I did not like Shuffle, and to this day wonder to myself why I ever completed it. I played the game and that was much better, if only for the sake of porn scenes.
There are probably hundreds of ones I would've hated but I tend to give up on them as soon as signs go bad. I simply don't have the time to waste on stuff I don't like, especially with the almost dozens of new shows that Japan keeps pumping out every season.
And perhaps even more shows I just plain don't remember. I can't even remember what the hell Kampfer was about but I remember I didn't like it. Same goes for Ichiban Ushiro no Daimou, and "happiness".

The thing(s) you have to realize about evangellion's original series is that at the end the budget was low, they were getting criticized for the content of it, and most of the leads were becoming progressively more and more depressed to the extent that they had to be put on anti-depressants after they finished.
They were getting death threats over the ending for the series too.
Ultimately they just didn't get to deliver what they wanted to- the movies fix that. I'd also recommend watching the rebuild.
The thing about anime is that its never really a catastrophic failure- most anime has a manga as source material and they're usually picking what's already popular so its kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.
Still, if I had to say...
Worst communication for an anime:
Elfen Lied. Director completely disregarded everything pitched as satire on attempts at deep plot as.... deep plot. Fan-freaking-tastic. What results is an anime that's either extremely stupid or just incredibly hilarious if watched in the right way.
Worst timing to run out of cash:
(surprise) Evangelion. Anyone who's watched the last few episodes can tell you it's terrible. Set the premise for all future deconstruction animes that everyone must die. You're not just knocking over the dominoes you spent the last 18 episodes setting up, you're up-ending the table, driving a semi truck into the house, burning the place down and then nuking the town from high orbit.
Worst Communicated anime:
Foolie Coolie. Don't get me wrong, it's a great show. The only problem is that they were trying to be silly and seemed to have accidentally made one of the deepest anime, ever, and did it in less than 10 episodes. There's 100+ episode series that fail at that same attempt.
These threads seem to jump in every other week.
I personally believe that animes get worse the more you watch them, like I used to like a lot of animes until I watched about two or three seasons and then just kinda realized they were shit.

To be fair I have only watched 2 anime but of those two one was vastly inferior. Naruto has become something of a guilty pleasure every Thursday, while Bleach was a colossal failure to me.
I persevered yet to no end. the setting and characters are charmless and uncreative, the combat sections (which cannot be disregarded as they are the bulk of the show) feature no tactics or technique. Ichigo gets injured but charges up something he hasn't tried in battle before and then he wins. If he doesn't win after charging up the first time he does it some more then wins. Its tactical genius.
So the combat is dull but maybe it serves some plot purpose like it's a vehicle for Ichigo's maturity or something? Nope, ichi learns nothing at all, by the end of the first series he is just as much of a block headed tool as the start. Even worse nobody dies, ever. So the initial perceived sense of danger diminishes with each battle and you come to realize that Naruto might be a show about super powered magic ninja's but its still waaay more adult than Bleach because it at least acknowledges death, sorrow and tragedy while Bleach might as well be set in f**king lazytown.

First of: Us. As in Nautical Honors Society and me.Nautical Honors Society said:
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.
First anime to come to mind right away is Karin. Now I LOVED the manga, but the anime...geez. Half the characters and half the plot are replaced by something completely different.
Kaleido Star comes too mind to just because throughout the ENTIRE series I was screaming to the main character, "Get the CRAP out of everyone's FREAKING business!"
Next to come to mind would be Death Note but that is an anime I have never actually seen nor a manga I have actually read. I don't like it because when it first became ridiculously popular, my friends were bloody OBSESSED with it, and I do mean OBSESSED! Seriously, I thought it was a yaoi for the longest time because of them that's how OBSESSED they were.
and oh yeah almost every single mainstream anime I don't like.

Wow the first page and no flammers?! Guess escapist community has more open minds than most other gaming sites.
Anyway:
Naruto
(Cause its not that engaging and it takes too damn long to get on with the damn story like THE PARTS WITH ACTION AND SHIT I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT.)
sonic x
(i watch it cause its the only sonic related thing on tv. Some episodes actually give off a nostalgic and even epic feel while other episodes makes me feel like my I.Q dropped a hundred fold.)
Yu gi oh (sucked, after the original cast was removed)
(card games on motorcycles....obvious the creators were on somethin when they came up with this. But my God the newest Dragon ball show in japan is even more god awful.)
Bleach
(one of the most boring and obnoxious anime I ever had the displeasure to watch. I kept an oath that next time a friend suggest an anime keep an alcoholic beverage close by.)
I hate the anime style in general because of over the top storyline, too much filler, humor is obnoxious 9 times out of 10. And teens of my generation highly overrate it.
I had posted a whole freakin essay on another site to back up my reasoning's to the masses that hate different opinions since apparently it was beyond comprehension.
But not tonight...er today.

I find it very curious that anyone disliked FLCL. Then again, I do have a preference for stuff that people consider to be mindfucking, and my first encounter with it happened when I was half asleep and delirious, so I think that helped. By the way, does anyone have a suggestion, I could seriously go for something wonderfully insane.
I'd have to say Tokyo Mew Mew, an obvious cash-in of the Sailor Moon franchise after taking out all the complexity, the characterisation, the actual bloody drama and replacing all of it with even longer transformation sequences and attack footage that lasts forever. Tokyo Mew Mew gives off the vibe of a series that tries its best to be in the league of its predecessor, but it forgets the crucial point that the past is something to succeed and surpass, not to live up to.
ON-TOPIC:
I don't have any I swear are completely horrible...past Bobobobobobo...
but there's some I won't watch and will switch the channel if it comes on.
Bleach and High School of the Dead. Could not get into HSotD at all, and after a while I started to not enjoy Bleach. Mostly because I only liked...three characters? And it wasn't the main one.
OFF-TOPIC:
This thread has taught me something about life.
Someone, somewhere, hates something you would absolutely swear your life by. O_O

Oh, oh wow, sooooo many choices. Let's see, if I had to choose I'd go with "Needless".
+Retarded, rip-off story.
+Pointless characters.
+Plot holes everywhere.
+Painful writing/voice acting.
+An end credit sequence that can only be described as child porn.
+And the single stupidest line I've ever heard in my life: "His only weakness is little girls" *shudder*
My runner up would be "Dark King", but that was so awful that it was hilarious. And it's protagonist won the award for the single most overpowered thing in anime history. (And that's saying something)
