What's the worst anime ever?

Before you say it, this is not a thread to flame anime as a whole. No saying "all of them!!!" or anything like that. This is about which one in particular you hate the most.

The one I hate the most is "The Prince of Tennis." Watching tennis is boring enough, you don't have to make a cartoon about it! I bet the manga is worse. But I digress.

Discuss!

This isn't a particular type of anime (though some of it tries to be) but I don't like anime freaks. It's just a type of cartoon, I don't see what makes the fact that it's japanese better than american cartoons. People who watch something just because it's an anime annoy me. Pinky and the Brain totally whoops anime's ass, but you don't see a bunch of Pinky and the Brain freaks all over the place.

I would have to agree with triton on the fact that I don't completely hate any certain anime, but I do dislike Dragonball GT.

Dragonball and Dragonball Z are OK, but I guess I just tired of it all after a while.

Read the title before posting. Also, Pinky and the Brain FTW!!! (Haven't seen it in a while though [read 8 years])

I didn't say all anime is bad, I gave a specific aspect of anime that I don't like.

Shows like "teen titans" that are made in America and are trying to be anime. That is just FAIL.

Actually, "Anime" is really just a style of animation (Basically). So saying an semi-realistically animated show is "trying to be anime" is "just FAIL".

Oh, and BTW, Teen Titans was a comic book.

Exactly his point.

My least favorite (though I dislike pretty much all anime) is Dragonball. The commercials for them were almost enough to make me want to curl up and hid under a rock, I suspect the actual shows were just as bad.

I haven't seen that many different anime series, but from my limited exposure I would say that "Slam Dunk" is pretty darn awful

Wow. For once I actually agree with you, Doctor!

Also, the Pokemon Diamond & Pearl series=crap. Terrible voice acting, annoying characters, and mediocre artistry. Also, it's been almost 12 years since the 1st series, and Ash is still the same age. Not aging people=FAIL.

On another note, anime costumes are outrageous. Who would want to run around fighting monsters in a skintight leotard or baggy pants?

But a non Japanified one.

No way, man. Not aging people is fine.

Just look at The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Family Circus, ... oops...

I meant in anime. Almost every anime has a maturing aging theme to its characters. Especially Eureka 7, who's plot revolves around that theme.

anime = japanese animation generally speaking, and american shows that are animated in the style of anime usually kinda suck, because they are just crappy american shows with a little japanese style thrown on top! not to say all anime is good by any means but you get the idea
