Did you start out with the anime? If so, then that's a normal response.

Even though only I read the manga, I pretty much know what to expect anyway. So I don't feel any downside to that.
And besides, I know how the anime looks like. That's why I chose the manga.
Yes, I watched the Anime. I don' read many Mangas, but if the Manga is better, I'll give it another try.

The long and short of it (all of which I didn't go into on that article): horrid animation, failure to deliver quality writing on a premise that demands it, unlikable protagonists (even if your protagonists are not likable people, you need to at least provide proper reasoning for their actions; insanity is not an excuse to do whatever the fuck you want with a group of characters), endless padding, manipulation of a character trope to sexist degrees, characters not acting like people, and the ending being nonsensical and pulled out of the writers' asses. There's much more here, but pointing out a show's (numerous) flaws to an audience filled with its fans is enough for me to be flamed for ages.

It frankly astounds me that many fans are willing to let an immature grimdark gorefest not only slide but garner respect thanks to its dark content instead of crucifying it for stumbling every step of the way like they would for other lesser titles. Mirai Nikki is a plodding, terrible mess.
wow that was really eloquent, I agree with you 100%.

Nah, it's a bit similar in some way. The difference is the amount of fanservice and how the protagonist reacts at the end. If you still hate Elfen Lied up 'till now, then don't bother watch it again.

How about Higurashi?

I can't really say something about Higurashi, since I only watched the first season, but I really liked it. Since I'm a guro-fan (only if it looks "realistic", I mean okay it's Anime, but sometimes, the animators really overdo it *cough* Mikami Teru's death in Deat Note.. *cough*) but I stopped watching it after the second episode of Kai, becouse I thought it was pretty boring.. I prefer Umineko over Higurashi tho..

LOL

Well, Kai was meant to be an answer to the whole thing. So if you prefer it to be vague, then it's logical if you found it boring.

How about Higanbana? Seems like you're into 07th Expansion since you know both When They Cry.

Might as well try.

Though I assume you are suitable with ghosts and demons since you're fine with Umineko? If so, then enjoy the story...

Kai is a bit slow compared to the first season, but if you liked it you must watch Kai too, don't you want to know the ending of the story?

Again, Kai is the answers to Higurashi (and I'm sure you know this). So it's logical if it's slower than the first one.

Moeshit anime, I hate all of them. Shallow, unpractical, what is the benefit of watching these? You are still you after you watched these and you wasted your time watching it. You are just killing hurting yourself to watch it.












Sorry mathexpert if you feel bad, but I'm a Christian, we are the same men on different pathes. I sight your treasures as rubbish, and you sight my treasure as rubbish. We might collide, but we never came in harmony.

as much as I want to say Guilty Crown, because I hate this piece of shit, I have to say To Love Ru, because this is just horrible, and not in the Guilty Crown kind of way wehere you laugh at the anime for being so bad, no, it's just horrible. ecchii only works in combination with something else, preferably action because both are pretty brainless, and To Love Ru doesn't have anything. no action, no romance, no horror, not even likeable characters.

Angel Galaxy. I watched the first 7 episodes and i was getting annoying that the brigade just goes around aimlessly doing simple tasks and getting tricked. Also saw no foreshadowing to the 'lost technology' (except the talking missile, but that was just ridiculous.).-.
The only thing the anime is probably good for is a few laughs.

Read the manga of Needless. The anime is a fail, because it focuses only on a small part of the (ongoing) story. Also, the ending is wrong. The story continue after the "final" fight. Fights are boring? Maybe in the anime. The manga is good, read it. If you don't want to read it, don't judge Needless then.

It's just my personal opinion. Though I heard the EN dub first rather than the JP dub.

Gotta say that the EN dub is far better than the other EN dub I've ever heard.

I honestly don't think anything could be worse than Bleach. It's almost like a parody of bad anime cliches, except it isn't funny (not for lack of trying)

I'm trying to think of the worst anime that I watched all the way through, but I don't invest time in things I don't like, so I'm not really coming up with anything. The closest answer would be Rozen Maiden, but I only watched the first series.

Can't say I have a least favourite - and knowing me, if I didn't like something, I wouldn't bother finishing it.
All the one's I've seen - as limited as they are - have had strong points.
The Naruto English Dub was pretty God awful though...

The anime itself was trash because they did all the build up of a Shingo and Airi pairing only to shit it down the drain with stupidly choosing to go with Miu for the heroine choice...

Oh hey, now I know which anime it reminded me of for utter stupidity with who the male lead gets with instead of the obvious build-up/relationship focus; Shuffle!

No, I'm not spoiler tagging it as both of these anime are too stupid to deserve it.

With Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers they could easily have made it a more enjoyable title if it had kept with a focus on Airi and the visual novel's source for the story/plot.

Elfen Lied and Angel Beats were probably the worst animu I've fully watched. There's probably a lot worser out there but these I watched from start to finish expecting something decent.

Elfen Lied is blatant fanservice. Equal to HoTD.

Angel Beats is... overrated.
