These are mostly most disappointing rather than outright bad, but whatever. Aldnoah Zero s2: took what was a fairly fun show show about an autistic guy owning super robots in his trainer while badass music played and ran every single aspect of it into the ground and I hate it Yurikuma Arashi: can't really say I hate it but oh man, a confused mess written by someone who thinks that LGBT stuff hasn't advanced at all since 1978. At least the manga is okay. Build Fighters Try: another incredible slump in quality between seasons, main character was a boring one-trick pony who sidelined the actual good characters and the writers had absolutely no idea how to make 3 on 3 battles work apart from 'two get shot down so it's one on one' or 'everyone pairs up for a one on one fight'. Tryon 3 was good though.

yurikuma gently caress this show and everyone who thinks its somehow saved gay people. why didn't we just let the artist lady make a yuri show about 2 30-soemthings making out. why are we acting like the dude who really likes boob mousepads, crossdresses as rei hino, and thinks that male/female romances demand more screentime than lesbian ones is the guy we have to turn to for lesbian representation, just because he made utena. utena wasn't even really about lesbianism, it was about sexual awakening in general. gently caress everyone who likes this show and gently caress every ann writer who thinks it's the hero we deserve. aahhhhh. if you just liked it for pantyshots tho i dont' care.

I didn't watch all that many shows, but the shows I did watch were disappointing. Actually, just the two shows this year: Gundam Reconguista in G - Man, the art looked sooooo good throughout this, but it's like Tomino took a deep deep suck on a huge spliff and blew out the smoke onto an animation cell and that became the show, because I could barely understand what the hell was going on in every episode. There were lots of people talking, but just saying Alice in Wonderland-like rambles, and not in the entertaining, somewhat-comprehensible way that Turn-A was. I kept watching it because I loved Turn-A and kept waiting for the point where things would turn and we'd understand what was the point of it all and it'd be just one long wacky ride, but I guess not. Man, and it had so much promise too -- Turn-A with the character design of Eureka 7 and a funky retro animation style with modern digital production values. Man...  Log Horizon S2 - It was a season of filler, down to the shoddy animation. Major disappointment from the high and the promise of still greater adventures that Log Horizon 1 promised us. Avoided Show: Cross Ange - I heard it had rape.

i don't actually watch much anime as a general rule and as such tend to be pretty careful about only watching things that are good so i've only got one anime to put here sadly 1) the seven deadly sins: it's boring predictable garbage full of asspulls and two characters who want to gently caress underaged (no it's ok because one is actually eleventybillion years old and the other one didnt want to gently caress her when she was a little girl and also she's a giant so that's ok) girls. and because of a mixture of horrible boredom and deepest depression i watched the whole loving thing and regretted every drat minute. well except when the stupid talking pig got killed, i laughed at that, and then it didn't get killed and i laughed more.

I can only think of 2 shows this year that came out I super did not enjoy. The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan just had nothing going on in it. I dunno what it was but for everything that was cuteish was not enough to save it from me just being bored. Gangsta had things going on for a while but then halfway through it just decided to ramp things up and end on a literal non ending. And that's why the studio is bankrupt...and other bad business decisions I'm sure. Anime I avoided: I stayed away from I Can't Understand what my Husband is Saying. You ain't fooling me again.

Charlotte I don't know why I finished this, it had like half a good episode. The plot was utter nonsense. Why can you write decent VNs and yet not create an anime to save your life, Maeda? Overlord Transparent escapist fantasy, except with more edginess. Kekkai Sensen This is my revenge for having such a cool setting and characters, and the best ED of the year, and yet ruining it all with such a bad anime original plotline that made no sense, plus that absurd delay of the last episode by more than a month. Dishonorable mentions to Log Horizon s2 and Aldnoah Zero s2. Avoided like the plague: Valkyrie Drive

DEAR YOUR LIE IN APRIL gently caress YOU. Your Lie In April gently caress you. Twenty episodes about the most banal main character surrounded by amazeballs everyones that exist solely to worship his worthless dopeyness. I can't handle remembering how worthless the ending was. Made all the worst by probably being the best looking show of the year. I want to get everyone responsible for this show and make them watch Cross Ange. rokka sucked really bad rokka sucked really bad. Terrible animation quality for a show that was never anything more than a ninja fight thing, terrible half-season-of-filler, utterly insane fever-dream of a last episode. Sailor Moon Crystal I saw this on the list in the other thread but I bet nobody actually knows for certain if it ended. Most Avoided: Kantai Collection. Stupid poo poo like Cross Ange is at least trying to be shocking. KanColle feels like someone had a weird idea and then proceeded to not think about it at all, stick wax in their ears so they couldn't hear other peoples thoughts about it, and continue happily drawing ship girls.

Aquarion logos had very bad music and instead of being about how important love is it was about how important kanji are. Why the gently caress even call it aquarion if it ditches every reason anyone liked aquarion? Most avoided for sure.

I am going to add Sailor Moon Crystal to shows I did not enjoy because I was quite angry with it most of the last year. I realized Sailor Moon needs the stupid monsters of the day to be fun and if this is what the manga is like, I don't know how it ever got popular. Also it was ugly 99% of the time.

Gangsta was my worst purely because I loved the first few episodes then watched it death spiral into crap. Kancolle was boring, I would be into dumb shipgirl slice of life but trying and failing to do action and death sunk it.

I don't really have any hated anime because I only go for anime that I think I may have an interest in. I guess the biggest disappointment this year for me was Kekkai Sensen. A part might have to do with how people talked it up so much in the thread, which set overly high expectations. Though perhaps it's less expectations and more along the lines of me losing interest. The first few episodes were great, I was really into it, but then I suddenly sorta gave up, which is rare cause I generally finish anime that I've gone more than halfway into. Still, I can't deny that Kekkai Sensen had the best ED of the year, and it's OP was really good too. As for anime I went out of my way to avoid, there's Prison School, I guess?

1. Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan for its flagrant attempt to debase the integrity of Haruhi with a bunch of dull, generic bullshit. I mean the least you could do is have them stay in character in your glorified fanfic. 2. Sailor Moon Crystal for being the colossal disappointment everyone knew it would be yet pretended it wouldn't for some reason. 3. Tokyo Ghoul Root A for doing a great job animating a pretty good series and then really phoning it the hell in for the second cour. As for most avoided, I got about 30 seconds into Cross Ange before deciding it was probably the type of generic trash that I'd probably drop halfway through the second episode even if I made it through the first. Apparently it had something with rape or something? I guess I'm not exactly losing any sleep over my decision.

Shimoneta: Which started pretty OK, but got super uncomfortable in like the fourth or fifth episode where there was a scene where one character (Anna iirc) attempts to rape the main character and I feel like it was being treated as a funny moment, because it cut to a seal raising its head to imply that the victim was getting a boner. Then I'm pretty sure in the next episode she continues her attempts and it's played for laughs. It was awful. I avoided Cross Ange like the plague because of the things I'd heard about it in the season thread. Blank Construct fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Dec 22, 2015 |

Man, this is tough. Most of the stuff I watched either finished or didn't hit the 3 episode test... 1) Yurikuma Arashi: It had potential, but ultimately squandered all of it. 2) Sailor Moon Crystal: It reminded me I liked Sailor Moon... by not being Sailor Moon.  3) Owarimonogatari: With all the monogatari avs in the chat thread, this got the 3 episode test, but ultimately wasn't for me. This isn't saying it's bad, in fact, it's quite good; it's just not a show in a genre I enjoy, and with how little I actually watched this year, it made it on the list by default if nothing else. Most avoided: Cross Ange: Yeah, I got to the end of episode 1, and realized yeah no. If I had made it to episode 3, it would've taken spot 1 easily.
