5 least favorite animes?

^ Negating the fact that Eerie Queerie! is actually a manga and not an anime, I honestly enjoyed it. Had some pointless extra characters and too many "warm fuzzy" endings, but it was just a cute shounen-ai manga.

Also, regarding Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. I originally started watching Pokemon for Team Rocket (because I find them amusing), and I still try to catch the new episodes from time to time for the same reason. Yeah, the Pokemon themselves are often cute, but the story is lifeless. However, it fits just right as a children's show, which is what it was intended for anyway. As for Yu-Gi-Oh!, I initially hated this anime. However, I was interested in the Egyptian and side character plotlines that ran alongside the card game scenario, so I started watching it. Besides the fact that I don't really enjoy six-parter episodes of a single duel, it actually has a decent story. I honestly didn't mind watching these two anime though, as they were just a way to kill an hour every Saturday morning while I woke up.

As an aside, though, I found it quite amusing when the world was in danger again around the final season and even Yugi said something to the extent of, "Oh, COME ON! Not again!!"

As for my five worst anime (not in any particular order):

5. Excel Saga: for all of the raving it got, I just thought it was pointless, stupid humor. I managed to force myself through the first ten episodes, but I just couldn't watch anymore of that same retarded story playing out every episode.

4. Outlaw Star: it was just boring. I watched about eight or so episodes, but it wasn't going anywhere. A bad Cowboy Bebop, as it were. I don't really have any other explanation for it.

3. Tokyo Babylon: I actually laugh at how bad this anime is. It took my beloved Sei-chan, Subaru, and Hokuto and made them so, so awful. It didn't have any story related to the manga whatsoever. I think it was best described in a review I read: "it's like an 'a-day-in-the-life-of' kind of anime." The manga is brilliant, but this anime never should have been made.

2. X/1999 (Movie): the anime series was completely gorgeous - one of my favorites - but the movie was so half-assed, both in terms of animation and storyline. And Subaru and Seishirou are only in it for five minutes!!! What the fuck!?

1. Noir: essentially, it took 26 episodes to do what it should have managed in 13. There are so many filler pans and face shots in this anime, and more often than not the most significant motion in any given scene will be the narrowing of the eyes or a blink. Sure, the action is decent - when it actually happens. Add in some truly dull characters, and about the only thing this anime becomes good for is eyecandy in a contrived shoujo-ai video.

As a general note, although I'm an extreme fangirl, I find most yaoi anime to be very dull and under-budgeted. All of the guys look the same, there is little real animation, and once you've seen one storyline, you've seen nearly all of them. (One of the major exceptions - as well as being my favorite anime - is Gravitation.)

A series that's probably going to make my list pretty soon is Angel's Feather. Talk about an overload of plot elements, bad twists, and side characters. Gah. It's ridiculous.

Anywho, I'm ranting again.

Um.. Am I the only one noticing that most of these lists contain shows made for much younger kids? Of course you're going to hate Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! if you're older than tweleve. And let's try making better points instead of "it's boring lol".

"Doctor, it hurts when I poke my arm." "Then stop poking it!" note: I don't understand how people see anime they dislike often enough to know that much about them. I have a general idea of what I'll like and dislike, and if I try something and dislike it, then I don't watch it again. *shrug*

- Brain Powered. RahXephon, nothing - you want to talk about lame Evangelion retreads? My ex made me sit through a tape of this because it made him feel important to protest Eva's popularity, or something wanktastic like that. I still feel a mysterious uprising of boredom thinking about this series, some five years later.

- Violinist of Hamelin. I hate to bash this show because it was born stupid and nobody loves it, but... it makes Star Ocean EX look well-crafted and deep. I was securing it for a friend several years ago and tried it out, but didn't make it through the whole thing.

- I don't hate The Place Promised..., but it has all the gorgeousness of Hoshi no Koe with a central character that makes me want to strangle her in her fucking precious magical sleep. Sure, destroy the universe for your boring, comatose not-girlfriend, Sparky. It's all about you, after all!

Gorgeous visuals, though. The fact that this movie is so well-made and so beautiful makes its appalling theme that much more frustrating to me.

- Star Ocean EX. I made a video out of it years ago out of nostalgia/affection for the game that spawned it, but oh dear heaven is this series terrible on its own. It only covers the less interesting half of the game - cutting off precisely at the end of the first disc - and shows up the pointless nature of the plot instead of focusing on what made the game playable, i.e. a silly sense of humor and half-decent characterization. Incredibly cheap animation, too. I am still amazed and embarrassed that this got licensed.

That's only four. I harbor a sneaking suspicion that Demon City Shinjuku, one of the first anime I saw, is absolutely terrible, but I don't actually feel the need to waste a couple hours of my life watching it simply to confirm this suspicion.

It has nice animation.. some good art scenes and a big giant gore fest. It would appeal to a lot of people.. I thought it was good in some aspects.. I've seen random good reviews for it. I don't know why I argue.. this topic sucks. Hey some out there say evangelion sucks.. but what does anyone know.. it's just a GOD DAMN OPINION!! Don't say your opinion as fact or shove it.

No offense to you Angel, but likewise, I think the topic sucks.

Plust, I hate Evangelion. Let me give you the briefing of every episode.

Intro song......Everything's fine....everything's fine......OMMFG ITS A FU@#@$ EVA!! Hooooly shit!!! AAAAHHHH!!!.......Okay we beat it.....ending song IMHO.

Evangelion movie:

Everyone's dieing!! OMFG!! NOOOOOO!! Holy crap, she died!? He died!? It died!? Everyone died!? Through their HEARTS?! SHINJI!!

I really thought the movie topped off the gayness.....lemme finish this post the right way: IMHO.
