For many anime enthusiasts, the quality of an anime is often measured by its storytelling, character development, animation, and narrative coherence. When any aspect of these elements falls short, it can lead to a long-lasting disappointment in the viewer’s mind, often resulting in the series being labeled as “terrible.” Mistakes in writing, underdeveloped characters, or overly recycled tropes can significantly contribute to the perception of a series being a total failure.
However, it is essential to note that personal preferences play a crucial role in determining what one considers the “worst” anime. Different individuals have varying tastes, which makes discussions about the worst anime increasingly complex.
With new anime being released every season, the competition is becoming more intense, leading to higher standards and increased scrutiny. With so many options available, viewers have additional criteria to evaluate and compare each anime. This saturation in the market may lead to higher expectations for quality and greater disappointment when a series fails to meet those standards.
In the end, while an anime might receive numerous negative reviews, there will always be individuals who find value in it, regardless of whether it’s due to unique art styles, nostalgia, or personal connections that others may overlook. In a world that values diverse perspectives and opinions, discussions about the “worst” anime will continue to be lively and engaging among dedicated fans.
Below are some comments from anime fans:
- Gibiate, the only thing it excels in is the aspect of being the most recent new anime.
- EX-ARM, there is no longer any doubt about its quality.
- For me, Mayoiga stands out. It’s a mystery, and I can’t quite explain why I finished watching it.
- Pupa is the worst regarding animation quality. It’s not just the horrifying animation; the storytelling is also hard to follow. The manga was compressed into a series, often lasting less than 5 minutes per episode. People mention Ex-Arm a lot, but I think Pupa is even worse. Also, there’s Danganronpa 3.
- Yakusoku no Neverland season two.
- I felt genuinely disappointed watching Big Order because I disliked it so much that I could easily forget about it (despite being quite sad, I still recall some random details).
- Ousama Game, at the very least, it did grab my attention, although it was supposed to be a horror anime.
- Ex-Arm / KochinPa! / Vampire Holmes / Abunai Sisters: Koko & Mika / Mars of Destruction (Hametsu No Mars) / SD Gundam Force / MapleStory / Berserk: Seasons 1&2 (2016) / The Promised Neverland: Season 2 / Eikan / Dracula: Sovereign Of The Damned / Forest Fairy Five / Pupa.
- The worst anime I’ve completed has to be Mayoiga. I thought it started off quite promising but ultimately ended in disappointment.
So, what about you? Which anime do you feel deserves the title of the worst?
