1) Evangelion: Because it's popular to hate popular things, therefore I am cool for hating it.
2) RahXephon: Because all the non-closeted Evangelion fans continuously claim this is a blatant sucky ripoff of Evangelion, thus I will be slightly more liked by them for hating it, which I'll need to survive for already hating Evangelion.
3) Dragonball Z: Because it's for anime noobs and anyone who likes it automatically sucks and all the AMVs to this anime suck before anyone even watches them - no, before the AMV is even made. Because it's DBZ.
4) Akira: Because OMG IT SUCKS COMPARED TO THE MANGA BECAUSE COMICS AND MOVIES ARE A COMPARABLE MEDIUM!!!!!1
5) Sailor Moon, Naruto, Pokemon, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and anything else with a large fanbase: Popularity rule+ internet = anticonformity is all the rage.

Sometimes, everything can be so mediocre.

In no particular order...
Metal Fighter Miku: I'll explain this all in one quote - "If you love me, you will quit wrestling!"..... wtf?!
Love Hina: That Naru chick is the WORST anime character evar.
Hikaru no go: I finally sat through an episode of this recently and it's the most exciting anime I have ever watched!
Club to Death Angel Dokuro Chan: Another really annoying female lead character that needs to be drug out into the street and shot.
Inu Yasha: I hate the fanbase more than the show.

My 5 worst anime choices:
X-the movie - uninteresting
Escaflowne: The Movie - forgetable
Tekken: the movie - its just dumb fun
Steel Angel Kurumi 2 - basically same story every ep and it went nowhere.
Samurai X: The Motion Picture - Sanosuke is enjoying the damn train ride at the start. Hes suppose to be afraid of trains, how can they get that stuffed up? Who made that movie? It is just plain crap.

5. Love Hina - I never could get into the animated version, though I did like the manga. Something about it was just obnoxious enough to make me stop watching after episode 3.
4. Inuyasha - Started out okay but just dragged on way too long. I'd much rather read the manga.
3. Baki the Grappler - Watched it on a dare, never watched it again. The animation was just hard to look at.
2. Dragonball GT - I could stand Z, but this one just pushed the limit.
1. Escaflowne the Movie - Why did they make Folken evil?! This movie just took everything I liked about the characters and deleted it, and the plot was subpar. I mean, they made Hitomi, one of the strongest female leads in anime in my humble opinion, suicidal and passive, so that just killed it for me. (no pun intended)

I definetly hate:
POKEMON- the show is gay!!!!!!!! all he does in almost every episode was walk, catch pokemon, walk, catch pokemon. I even hated it when i was 5!!!! I had half the mind to shoot the creator...... well, not really.
SAILOR MOON- they were just to cheerleader for me. I mean, the honestly look like our cheerleading squad back at school.... all except for the magic powers
DRAGONBALL Z- all they do is fly around, yell stuff i cant EVEN pronounce if i wanted to, and kill each other...well the bad guys.
the show is a big dissapointment..
AKIRA-like Code_Chrono said, the story line sucked. I swear if i had food in my stomach, i would have blown chunks.
YU-GI-OH: well im going to go soso on this one because i've never actually seen an episode. but i've heard so much crap about it that i didnt even want to see it. I mean, come on!! guys who use cards to solve all their problems!?
yeah....4 words.....(mental and physical help)

Ah, what the Hell...for my votes:
In no real order:
*Aura Battler Dunbine OVA: The Tale of Neo-Byston Well
I like the original Dunbine series, but DAMN do its sequels hurt to watch (I'm only hoping The Wings of Rean can break the curse)
Recycled character designs, a contrived story that's based on a long-shot 'What if' and actually succeeds in leaving with more unanswered questions than it started with (...alongside answering...well....prettymuch none of the questions it started with)
I think the only things this OVA had going for it were the Sirbine and Zwauth designs...and even those didn't see a lot of play
*Debutante Detective Corps
I had the misfortune of digging this one up one day in Anime Network's OnDemand section. As a rule, I try to find a good side to titles where I can...I got halfway through this before, in the immortal words of the late Orson Welles:
"...this is a lot shit, you know that?"
*Macross II: Lovers Again
I'll admit...this started out OK...although that's being kind...to this day, outside of Feff everyone in this cast annoys the Hell out of me...and even Feff's just kind of there. Nevertheless, I think this show might have stayed off the suck list had it not been for the ending. The last episode was...to rip off another celeb (Jon Stewart)
It's like a cross between Macross: Do You Remember Love? and the smell of ass
*Gundam SEED DESTINY
If you ever need proof of the old axiom 'Too many cooks spoil the broth' this is a classic example.
The show started out seeming like it could go places...then, somewhere after the first batch of episodes, the GAce fanlistings came out. With these, the studio was prettymuch put at the mercy of what the fans wanted...on everything...as a result, it turned from Gundam SEED DESTINY, a 'could work' followup to a series that had room for improvement...and turned into 'The Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne Super Peacetime Power Half-Hour.' Any sense of planned storytelling went out the window and the show became so badly rushed on the fly, they had to make an extended version of the final episode in order to tie up the loose ends (...and even that was a pretty bad job of it)
and
*ZZ Gundam.
The phrase that comes to mind with this series: Wasted potential.
The way Zeta had ended things, the stage was all set to dive right into what could have been an awesome story involving the first Neo-Zeon war. What do we get instead? For starters, twelve eps of the Argama crew meeting Side 1's answer to the Three Stooges in Judau and his gang.
Basically, the breakdown of the first ZZ arc:
Judau comes up with a new plan to steal the Zeta Gundam -> Gets onto the ship, successfully steals it, BUT -> Argama is then attacked by Mashmyre or any one of his lackeys in a new Axis MS (if it's Mashmyre, you're also treated to some bits of random Haman worship from him.) -> Judau manages to beat Axis forces through combination of dumb luck/hitting them with whatever he can find lying around. -> Judau, in spite of this, STILL has to give the Zeta Gundam back, goes off into the sunset, not even a 'Don't do it again!'
*add random variable of 'Yazan tries to do something evil, bumbles horribly, at random intervals*
From there, the series kind of slides downhill. While the story has promise, the cast are annoying fools and, as a result, it kills the interest. By the end of the series, I found myself asking the same question Judau was '...What was the point of everything in this show?'

I only respond to this to educate you on what this "yelling" is. It's called -ki-hap(ki/chi/qi, w/e) in martial arts. It's different from a simple "yell" because it comes from the abdominal/gut rather than just simply the throat. It is said to add more power to your punch, and believe it or not, when done correctly, it does. They call it life energy. Whether the voice actors were convincing of actually using ki-haps doesn't matter. The purpose of the "yelling" is clear. Thank you for reading, and my apologies if I've wasted any time of your life.code_chrono wrote:Ha! I've seen every episode, and enjoyed it when I was little, but I don't like it now. You have to admit, they do yell in excess, and in the beginning and at the end (in GT) they did have tails that gave them "power".
