idk then, 'completely ignoring' was probably overdramatic but i would have really preferred if morishima had just gotten to do whatever she wanted and you even get a bit of that in that link, with her saying she kind of wants to just focus on the older characters in her manga

I was mostly talking about how everyone used that one fake interview with him to say that he hated Gundam SEED with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Don't know if he's said anything about Gundam: IBO (which is good and does not belong in this thread).

Most avoided show:

Cross Ange: After watching the 1st episode, I decided that it wasn't for me, and not even cool new songs by Nana Mizuki were going to convince me otherwise. Then my daughter started watching the show and she thought it would be cool to make it part of that chunk of time where we watch stuff together and then play video games. She got bored of it at around episode 9 and we started watching Hunter x Hunter instead.

Ah, old stuff. I enjoyed the interviews he gave to Newtype about disliking the way most voice actors from these few past generations tend to sound really samey and how the new Gundam (at the time; the one he made) was more for newer generations and that maybe the old guard might not dig it.

I remember one of my boys over there actually commenting on it during this one chat and how he wishes to never be on Tomino's shitlist.

Tomino also recently said a bit of the official setting info for Reconguista was wrong, and I prefer his take on it.

I'm amending my post to include Hacka Doll the Animation as my worst anime, since I actually did see 3 episodes of it!

Davincie posted:

instead of watching cross ange and other garbage etc etc watch hackadoll for badass parodies and the best work trigger has done


Droyer posted:

You have literally only seen the op. Perhaps it is a bit premature to call the entire show hollow.

Just to spite these guys, I watched the first 3 episodes so I could add them to the worst anime thread :smug:

The first episode wasn't really funny, aside from maybe the body pillow gag and the one second shot of #3 with a picture of her own face taped on her.

The second episode was better, and I'm glad that all of the Hacking dolls and their fans got crushed and killed by their bad music.

The Third episode was even worse than the first episode, and the only noteworthy thing of it was that it was a parody of that one episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion with the Angel that was a virus.

So yes, I can say the show is mostly hollow and more miss than hit.

For avoidance Cross Ange really is the right answer. For shows I actually watched the only ones I remember getting pissed off at were (1) Aldnoah and (2) Yatterman.

Aldnoah is the goddamn woooooorst.

Asterisk of a Failed Knight for being two shows so creatively bankrupt & indistinguishable I'm counting them as one show.

Jitsu wa Watashi Wa for being a supremely disappointing adaptation of a decent manga.

Cross Ange for being Cross Ange, basically.

Most avoided goes to Sound Euphonium not for any notable failing, but because there is nothing on God's green earth that will convince me of the necessity of yet another anime featuring Japanese schoolgirls in an afterschool music club.

It's not an after school music club; it's actual band class, with boys too, and they actually do marching performances and such.

I didn't think I'd watched more than two episodes of any shows that I dropped, then remembered I did actually watch five episodes of Rainy Cocoa, which I dropped because it didn't look like the boys were ever going to kiss.

All these posts reminded me what my most avoided show was: Yuri Kuma. A friend told me I was gonna be the greatest thing but I decided "nah" after watching the PV

The two worst would be Cross Ange and Kancolle easily. I Watched all of Cross Ange because I clearly hate myself, but its badness was at least entertaining, Kancolle just sucked. I think they could have done pretty much anything else with it and that would have been more interesting. It didn't even focus on the good botes!!!!!!!

Lastly Etotama, not a bad attempt at mixing CG and animation and hey the show itself looked nice. Dull as dishwater in spite of that.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
Worst Shows:

Aldnoah Zero - Well that squandered all the good will it earned early on.
Plastic Memories - Committed the unforgivable sin of being boring.
Grisaia - Didn't blow up the school 0/10

Most Avoided Show

Cross Ange - D.R.A.G.O.N.
