Worst (that I actually watched): Kumamiko - it takes a village to abuse a child miko. I watched this to the bitter end, hoping the poor girl would finally snap and slay them all in bloody sacrifice to the stinkin' mountain gods, but no. Bakuon!! - I like shows that use school clubs as an excuse for the characters to interact, but if the actual club activity is going to be the focus, I'd better be interested in the activity. I don't care about motorcycles (nothing against them, just not my thing), so as it quickly became obvious the cycles were going to be the stars of the show -- especially as one of them started talking -- I just bailed early on this one. Taboo Tattoo - If I get four episodes into a show, I almost always watch to the end just to never have to wonder how it ended. I got to about episode five with this one, and simply forgot to ever bother to watch it anymore. (probably a desperate self-defense measure on the part of my brain) Avoided: Magical Girl Raising Project - I like magical girl shows in general, and the recent trend of making shows to "deconstruct the genre" (also known as 'poo poo all over it') via horrible deaths, soul rapes, etc. really rather annoys me. So I just avoid them all.

Voting for Worst Anime of 2016 is over! While it looked like Izetta: The Last Witch had a lock on 1st place, THREE other shows caught up making it a four-way battle... 1st: Kumamiko (20 votes) 111111111111111 2222 3 2nd: Dimension W (18 votes) 111111 2222222222 33 T-3rd: Berserk (16 votes) 11111111111 22 333 T-3rd: Izetta: The Last Witch (16 votes) 11111 22222 333333  As for Most Avoided...there's a tie! It looked like Berserk would run away with the title, but Magical Girl Raising Project, while low on the Worst Vote, gained quite the notoriety based on concept and word-of-mouth alone! edit: updated to include the end of the alphabet!

Zwiebel posted:Kumamiko I get your point, and I agree that it wasn't handled well, but I don't think a message of "Maybe some people aren't suited to city life" and "If you find a place where you truly belong, maybe you should stay there" is necessarily out of line. Don't get me wrong, the show was VERY mean, and tried to be doing its damnedest to prove the point that Machi wasn't going to be able to deal with modern city life in the most "comedically" humiliating ways possible. The ending was pretty much unforgivable. Machi's brain goes haywire, and the two adults in Machi's life go on a light-hearted date with one another, 2 minutes after the cousin goes on a big long rant about "The village means everything, and is dying. If I have to sacrifice Machi to save it, then sacrifice her I will" and the adult female was briefly horrified. But, yeah, the village was going to lose one of its only adolescents and the bear was going to lose his only friend, and they all went way over the line trying to prevent such from happening to secure the place that they loved for another generation. I don't think that their excesses were meant to be portrayed as a good thing. The "good end" that I was hoping for was Machi becoming more functional but deciding to stay in the village anyway.

I did this (Columns I and J), but at the last minute the results shaped out to be about the same, with Kumamiko on top. While voting was going on it used to have Berserk with a commanding lead.

Yeah, that's a fair assessment. It is kind of amazing how tone deaf and utterly lacking in self-awareness the anime ending turned out to be with how everyone around Macchi basically manipulates her and keeps her as a dysfunctional human being. And that in a show that presents itself as kind of a saccharine joyous little feel good slice of life. But even without the ending, I guess it seems like people generally agree that it was creepy mean-spirited crap. There's probably worse poo poo out there, but I guess plenty of goons watched it, putting it on top of this list.

poo poo I missed the voting. I'm surprised for the lack of hate for Taboo Tattoo. It was one of the most disappointing shows of the year. The first episode was decent, featuring some pretty good action/martial arts scenes. I can't believe I finished this show because it became so, so terrible. The last episode was particularly awful, featuring giant magic mechs out of nowhere combined with awful rock music and a terrible fight sequence with the mechs using the same footage on loop.

I forgot to post my vote during the period but imma do it anyways!!! Avoided - re; zero. I avoided it based on the premise, but was drawn in but the cute anime maids. It was actually ok even if I don't like loser shutins as protagonists typically. Worst - Can I put Danganronpa 3 down three times because it was technically three series? Because god i hate that show. It's probably the worst anime I've actually watched all the way through. I'll start with the good: It had nice music. Beyond that it somehow managed to fail on every level imaginable. The first thing is that it didn't include any of the things that made Danganronpa actually interesting. There was little mystery and half the characters got no development. Was I supposed to feel bad when people died in side future? Because I kinda didn't since they weren't exactly characters. Not only was the show bad on it's own, it actually went back and retconned interesting elements of Danganronpa 2 to make it worse in retrospect. The show completely removed all agency from the cast of Danganronpa 2. Instead of being flawed and emotionally unstable teenagers basically getting pulled into a cult by a charismatic monster they were brainwashed into doing everything. Oh, okay, I guess that means they don't have anything to repent for then. That's a relief, I was almost getting invested for a bit there. More specifically I want to go into the character of Hinata. Danganronpa 1 was a story that featured Naegi, but Danganronpa 2 was a story that pretty heavily focused on Hinata as a character. He was a deluded sycophant with way more money than common sense who paid his way into being in the cool kid's club because he wasn't special enough to be on his own, then threw away his self so that he could be more like the objects of his devotion. The way his character changed over the course of DR2, how he got self respect and grew as a person, was tested in the end when he was forced to choose between throwing himself away again, except this time it was a heroic sacrifice. Then in Danganronpa 3 he was an average guy who did it because of ~love~. Oh. Okay then. Chiaki having been an actual person, the Chiaki AI having been made by Hinata, pretty much every moment Junko or Yukizome was on screen... Why? What was the reasoning behind that instead of actually expanding on the cast of the game and how they ended up becoming the people that they did? My only guess is that it seemed like that would be hard to write, but then why even make it at all and not just an anime of DR2 or something? The Future side was also a spectacular exercise in wasted potential. Practically all the new characters died while none of the old ones did, not that many of the new characters really had anything to them. The show builds up the idea of it being the final confrontation between the concepts of hope and despair as Danganronpa defines them but welp, not really. It actually turns out the show isn't really about much of anything after all. A bunch of vaguely connected events happen and then the show ends with Naegi re-opening the school that the series spent half of it's runtime explaining was a bad idea from it's very conception. Apparently all the bad guys just gave up and went home too. Cool, go team. It's really staggering just how bad it was, to the point I half believe the idea it was made to spite the exceptionally terrible fanbase DR has.. Anecdotal evidence and all that, but I haven't talked to anyone who actually liked it. i'm aware this post is  as h*ck but man; I hate that show.

2016 was a pretty good year for anime, imo. Only one that I watched would I consider bad: Re:Zero. It's a harem anime, with an interesting world that kept me watching far longer than I had any reason to. I can look past bad female characters if the rest of the show is worth it, but honestly, it wasn't at all. The character designs are all pretty much fetish trope (slutty big boobed vampiress, little flat chick, pure elf chick, cute maid twins, etc...), and the action scenes all a bit bland. The episodes where they fight the white whale were surprisingly underwhelming. There were some flashes of brilliance, but they were quickly suppressed by the moe overload. Most Avoided: Berserk (2016). I kept reading the thread hoping it'd get better, but it appeared it only got worse. Hopefully the Musou game will be good to make up for it.

yeah it's a love triangle, not a harem there is a third chick who very late in the anime says "i am not interested in you romantically, but there is a place for you in my heart" which apparently makes it a harem for some people

sometimes people consider shows a harem just by virtue of having one male character in a cast of mostly female characters or vice versa, but without there being romantic/sexual tension between everyone, i wouldn't really agree

tbf I haven't really watched any legit harem animes. More along the lines of Subaru being a self-insert that inexplicably gets the respect/romantic interest of women who far outstrip him in position, power, and theoretically, intellect. It gave me a similar feel to Fate/Stay Night, where there's an annoying MC surrounded by a bunch of attractive women. Not all of them want to bang him, but you know that they're there for the audience to get off to.
