What's the worst Anime you've seen?

I've watched a lot of anime titles, but I like to stick to films. I'll say two, one of which many people probably have never heard of, and the other I might crucified for.

The first is Neo Tokyo. I've seen a lot of films that attempt to be more art than story, but it was the equivalent of modern art; it was bland and tasteless, with it's only appeal being "strange". I had to really push myself to watch it.

The next is Akira. I can't fathom why everyone panders to this film so hard and how it "saved anime" in the 90's. I suppose it might have been good in it's time, but its one of the few animes I couldn't finish, and as of today, it's the only film I couldn't finish.

Lots of anime (and art in general) tends to be like that. Ever tried reading anything by William Faulkner? Back then he was heralded as the very paradigm of modern literature; today, it comes off as a long, rambling slog through roundabout plots and consequentially-incomprehensible characters.

Actually, on further consideration, this is probably why remakes of popular stories continue to be successful.

You'd be surprised. Even the fanservice shots are few and far between, and all you're usually gonna get is either a pantyshot or some erect nips. Special mention goes to the trademark clumsy girl (because there's always a clumsy girl), whose exagerrated attempts to titillate the viewer come off as downright cringeworthy.

On the plus side though, it does have a nice set of OVAs. Just like Xebec's last production, Kanokon, the specials are literally softcore porn set to some smooth jazz.

I haven't watched that many animes, but the one that gave me the worst memories is "Divine Gate". It was so cliche, so weak, so everything that I'd seen too many times and didn't want to see ever again... Around episode 5 or 6 I was having huge stomach pains and had to stop watching it.

Man, and I thought Akame ga Kill! was generic.
