Pokemon, thats seriously the bottom.

i dont see that much anime, but Naruto is my favorite, and if someone call it bad, blood will flow.

You're forgetting the episode when the good guy's friends evaluate the bad guy and the good guy's powers
you reffering to it as "evaluating" makes me think of Gohan sitting at a desk, wearing glasses, writing a complex composition on Frieza's power level that is to be graded by Piccolo(who is wearing glasses and a suit).This happening with Frieza beating the ever loving shit out of Goku.

What about below average and overhyped?

Hilarious mental images make up for bad english skills. Everytime i post at the escapist i try to speak as formally as possible, since i've seen many people posting like that. One of the reasons why i'm not a regular poster, lol

One Piece. If people here think Naruto has a crap story, they ain't seen nothing yet.
We have seen nothing yet, Naruto is ALL filler episodes and flashbacks.
For worst ANIME I choose Naruto.

Thanks.
I tried to edit what I'd imagine is hard to understand, is it better now?

I thought that Bleach was a very good and somewhat original show
Can you please explain to me how you thought that watered down cross between DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho was original?
In that case, what is original?

Everything's been done before, especially if you're going to discredit everything by acting like they're a cross of 2 older series.

Not that I'm saying Bleach is good. I don't even watch it, but the way you put it is a really huge slippery-slope.

I'm that if they weren't popular, people would just find them "meh", but people hate them because they don't deserve their popularity (same with Twilight).

I gotta go with the extremely overrated Naruto.

It feels like a whole bunch of badly developed characters not acting like ninjas. The action is crappy the story is crappy and the animation is OK at best.

Edit: By the way count the "best" version of the anime you select. Crappy Dub Job does not constitute an anime being bad.
i hate Naruto. And just to add in, my favorite, and in fact only one is Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
May I ask why you hate Naruto, and not DBZ? Yeah, I'm calling people out now.
I hated Naurto and liked DBZ (for the most part). It could just be nostalgia talking, but DBZ had a certain... charm to it.
But that's just it though. I understand the nostalgia appeal, hell I still love DBZ, it was one of the best things ever to me, but I know it isn't good at all to anyone who hadn't grown up with it.

And I guess that's a similar issue with Naruto for me, but the difference is I can find a great deal wrong with DBZ, but not so much with Naruto.

Is there anyone here who has watched DBZ for the first time recently and didn't grow up with it? And if so did you like it and dislike Naruto?

EDIT: And I hope to god you didn't go into those shows (Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, One Piece etc) expecting a political masterpiece, which I am starting to think some of you lot are.

I read the manga of Naruto, bypassing all of the filler although, yes, there probably is some uwritten rule that each issue of naruto must contain at least one flashback.

Think of it like this: The more mainstream something is, the more opinions it is going to have about it. Not a lot of people complain about the goodness/crappiness of lesser known shows, they've probably never seen them. But when it comes to more popular shows, more people will have seen them, meaning more people will love/hate them

fullmetal alchemist is original and when it tries to be philosophical, it's not just pretentious bullshit
shaman king was original when it was first made but has now become a staple of the generic anime about teenagers going around with super powers in the never ending struggle between good and evil

The last 10 chapters have had no flashbacks whatsoever, and they hardly do.

My vote is for naruto and Inyuasha. Not because they were 100% shit(both have a few redeeming qualities), but because of what they did to the community. As if anime fans weren't already socially ostracized enough, we have to get people walking around with fake tails and leaf village headbands.

As far as being 100% shit, beyblade. So damn generic with horrible voice acting and art.

I liked cowboy bebop, Fooly Cooly, Trigun, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Looking at that list, I think I might have a thing for random stories.

Yu Yu Hakusho+DBZ/2= Bleach....I definitely have to see yu yu hakosho if it's that awesome.

The worst anime ever? G Gundam. People say Gundam SEED ruined the series, yet they forget that G Gundam Gundams were barely even Gundams?!! It really was just too out there for me, even though I had the easily influenced mind of a child, I could still tell it sucked.

But the best? Bobobo-bo-Bobobo for its sheer randomness. I also think it was one of the few shows that didn't have an extremely noticeable decrease in quality in the English version (though the Japanese manga was still the best)

Higurachi. Or however that crappy cicada show is spelled. How am I supposed to care about the characters if most episodes are disconnected from most of the others? And who the hell gets their kicks from a bunch of cursed children slitting themselves up repeatedly?
I actually enjoyed it, but that's cause toe whole mystery thing held me and wouldn't let go.

Oh I know, I made a post a page back which was similar to what you just said. But I'm still calling him out on it. People shouldn't hate on things solely because they are popular, and a lot of people that say they hate it haven't actually seen it.

Why all the hate on Naruto?

I can understand people saying it's overrated, but worst ever? It's just too average to be bad.

Apparently you people have never seen low budget hentai.

Oh yeah, it's a great anime (in my opinion, the best fighting anime I've ever seen), though the quality declines in the third season (but what doesn't have a quality decline in the third season). It's not as stylized as Bleach, but it has some great action, and pretty solid story (which Bleach partially ripped off).

4kids version of anything. I know it's not an original answer, but 4kids.

Specifically, though, Pokemon. I like the first season for nostalgia's sake, but the rest of it... yeah...
