What's the worst Anime you've seen?

Probably an unpopular opinion but I wasn't a fan of Akame ga Kill.

>Sailor Moon
>Girls und Panzer

I wouldn't exactly call those shows good, but they do have strong points.
I mean, every season gives us at least one anime that is absolute garbage, so half-bad anime are far from "the worst".

There are a few that I've powered through despite disliking them, but Akame ga Kill was one of the ones I actually dropped.

Charlotte, Plastic Memories and Chuu Bra!

I feel like we have almost opposite tastes in anime

I didn't like Mekakucity Actors. I found the story rather difficult to follow, resulting in the later episodes making almost no sense. It does have a nice soundtrack though.

I agree with Charlotte and Plastic Memories. Plastic Memories at least had the decency to be shitty enough to drop from the first few episodes, but I saw Charlotte to the end because it just couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a good show or a stinking pile of turd, eventually settling on the latter with the last few episodes. Given more episodes, it probably could have been much better but that was abyssmal pacing for a show that only ran for one cour. They should never let Maeda do a one cour show again, seeing as he still hasn't learned from his mistakes.

Haven't seen Chuu Bra, so no comment on that one.

I would say Himegoto anime was pretty disappointing, especially considering that I had been looking forward to it for quite some time before it was released.

All of this is true, but still. There's shittone of anime that's so much worse.

True, but Charlotte stands out to me as particularly bad because it's one of the anime I dislike that I actually watched to the end. It also doesn't help that all the elements for a great show were right there, the sloppy way the show made use of them just made it particularly disappointing.

Shugo Chara.
Picked it up because it had Hello! Project OP's and ED's but then dropped because it's shitty as fuck.
Also Hetalia, the whole thing is fucking retarded.

Probably Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. Just how retarded the main characters were was enough to make me hate it but, the poor pacing, reams of filler and anticlimactic slide-show ending really just sealed the deal. It was the most frustrated I had ever been in my life. I hated how the MC just let all of this bad shit happen to him, react by telling lies to the people trying to help him and then still come out the other side as a fucking teenage rockstar without fixing the problem. The main love interest, despite clearly being into the MC from a very early stage, dances around for 22 episodes for no reason even when other women try to make a move and then makes it out like it's his fault. Let's not even get started on the weird stolen guitar sub-plot.

If we're talking quality, Garzey's Wing would be the obvious choice. But that show's hilariously enjoyable and fun.

If we're talking shows that had actual people working on then, Mirai Nikki/Future Diary. No doubt.

Guilty Crown and Fractal are probably the worst shows I've actually watched all the way through with the desperate hope that they'd get better. Most others I've dropped after 3 episodes or so.

Not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed most of Fractale, even if it didn't make too much sense. The ending was garbage, though. Some plot threads were hastily snipped (like Enri's crush on Clain), while others were stuffed in at the last second (What was the deal with Dias and that Fractal-lady, anyway?), and the entire thing just felt like a hack-job. Regarding the whole "Phryne is God" thing at the very end, I think they were trying to channel something like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, but they failed miserably.

To be fair to the creator though, Fractale had the misfortune to air during the same timeslot as Madoka Magica, and effectively got trounced by that very series. Apparently this caused him a lot of distress, so I don't blame the guy for cutting his losses and ending the series early.

For me it has to be Mahou Sensou. Confusing as fuck. It seemed rush, a bunch of generic cliches, scenes change too fast, character development is horrible.
What about you guys?

DID SOMEONE SAY RUSHED WITH FAST SCENE CHANGES?

Worst anime I've seen...

People might be annoyed at me for this but I'd say Requiem for a Phantom. Stupid genre changes and the premise was just boring, couldn't get into it, but I was watching it with others so I suffered the whole thing :/

Kiss x Sis. Probably the dumbest thing I have ever put time into.

I mean, it did one thing reasonably well...
