I won't say 'worst', only 'disappointing to me personally':

BanG Dream - I got 4 or so episodes into this and realized I simply didn't care about the characters. I like character driven shows, and even the music was not to my taste, so I just stopped watching.

Battle Girl High School - When in the middle of, I think it was the third episode, I realized I wasn't even trying to remember which character was which, and that I was rather bored with it, I dropped it.

Made in Abyss - before you finish the gallows with which to hang me, I know this show had fantastic animation, a good story, interesting characters and a fascinating world. But somewhere in episode 2 the warning robot in my head was screaming "Danger Will Robinson!" and I figured these interesting child characters were being set up for terrible things to happen to them, and I just stopped right there. For personal reasons, I just can't watch that kind of stuff, so I didn't. From what random notes about the show I've seen on the net, my decision was probably the right one for me.

Avoided:

Welcome to the Ballroom - whatever the target demographic is for this show, I am not in it

I've learned that trash-talking of an anime from people whose taste is very much not my own, is actually a pretty good way for me to find anime that I enjoy. It is a better predictor of what I will enjoy, then even positive recommendations from people who tend to like the shows I like as well.

I'm not sure if that approach would work for others, though.
