Even though I've been a big anime fan for quite some time now until recently I've tried to avoid truly bad anime, but recently I thought it would be a kind of fun idea to actually go through and try some of them just to see how bad they really are.

If you are a casual anime fan you might think that things like Sword Art Online, Seven Deadly Sins, and One Punch Man Season 3 would be shoe-ins for a list like this, but anime can get so much worse than stuff like that. I'm also not going to include things that I personally find overrated like Overlord and Solo Leveling because even though they aren't my thing they're far from what I'd truly call bad. There are also some anime that might be able to be included on this list that I just find to be guilty pleasures like Uzumaki, Suicide Squad Isekai, and Guilty Gear Strive: Duel Rulers. There are also a few anime with admittedly low production quality that I have a soft spot for like Inferno Cop, Gregory Horror Show, and The Way Of The Househusband. I'd also like to mention Ghost Stories and Keijo and while I don't personally find either one of these anime to be truly bad I think they'd feel missing if I didn't at least mention them.

With that all being said here are my top ten least favorite anime. Honorable mentions include Earwig and The Witch, Bikini Warriors, OreImo, Vampire Knight, and Classroom Of The Elite. Id' also like to mention that I haven't seen every anime so if there's a bad anime that isn't on this list that's why. Honestly, I'm not sure if I even want to try every single bad anime because there are a couple that I just don't even want to try like Conception, School Days, and Boku No Pico. For full transparency I also want to mention that I've only seen like 2 or 3 episodes of most of these anime so if they get any worse of better as they go I wouldn't know. With all of that being said, onto the list.

10. High School DxD: This would be an average quality ecchi action series if it wasn't for the protagonist. Issei Hyoudou is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen in my entire life.

11. Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan: This show is just gross. I find the toilet humor off-putting, find the plot to be disgusting, and think that Dokuro-Chan herself is an annoying character.

12. Forest Fairy Five: I'll admit that despite the low production values and amateurish voice acting I actually find this show oddly cute and charming. It isn't anywhere close to being actually good, but I personally find it to be a so bad it's good kind of thing.

13. Hand Shakers: This anime could probably give someone motion sickness with the nauseatingly quick and frequent camera movements and how overdesigned everything is. There are admittedly some decent ideas here, but they are buried under its unappealing visuals and muddled story.

14. King's Game: Edgy for the sake of being edgy. It's probably the cheapest shock horror I've ever seen with a bunch of bland and unlikable characters and a confusing plot. Like, why are we focusing on two death games at once? It just makes me lose track of what's happening.

15. Rent-A-Girlfriend: I said Issei from High School DxD is one of the most annoying anime protagonists of all time, but that actual honor would have to go to Kazuya Kinoshita. The show feels like a fusion between a bad soap opera and a bad rom com with each and every plot twist more infuriating than the last. Like, this show honestly feels like it's actively trying to be as bad as it possibly can be. Also, did I mention that I hate Kazuya? I just wanted to make that clear. With that being said, I do kind of like the grandma and think that Kazuya's ex is kind of funny. If it wasn't for those saving graces this would be even lower.

16. Tenkuu Danzai Skelter Heaven: This is actually the lowest rated anime on all of My Anime List. Even though I do see why it has the rating it does I don't personally think it's the worst anime that I've seen. With that being said, it's just incredibly boring and confusing. it's probably one of the most forgettable anime that I've ever seen.

17. Vampire Holmes: An incredibly unfunny comedy with some of the worst art I've ever seen from anime. Even though this is just a short series the episodes somehow feel like they drag. It's just lame.

18. Pupa: One of the most gross and disturbing anime I've ever seen. Just like Vampire Holmes it feels like it drags even though the episodes are so short. I'm not going to go too in depth on the details of this one, but I think I think that the words cannibal incest are enough to tell you about the quality of this one.

19. Ex-Arm: I was almost impressed by how bad this one looked. The 2D art wasn't very good, but the 3D art they mostly used was some of the worst I've ever seen in an anime. If they just picked one of the other of these it would be bad enough, but they use 2D and 3D art side by side in some scenes and it's just some of the worst looking animation I've probably ever seen (which is saying a lot coming from someone who's seen hundreds of cartoons). The incredibly confusing story and generic characters don't help that much either. If I had to say anything good about this I'd say that the character designs are decent when divorced from the animation and that the music is pretty good. That's literally all the redeeming qualities I could come up with for this one. I can see why it's so infamous in the anime community.
