It actually has impossibly high ratings on a variety of sites (~8.5-9.1 Bayesian averages, just among what I've seen). People just like GAR and bright colors, what can I say? It just has a vocal fanbase, I guess. I'm surprised it's the worst you've watched though, you must not have been exposed to much then?

As for what makes it overrated, it's just that even as a show to watch with your brain completely shut off, the pacing felt odd to me, and the character development was somewhat erratic, which matters in any environment, regardless of how serious. That's just my take though.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

Well, it's not that I haven't been exposed to much, it's more like I try to steer away from crap anime, so I admit that I got trapped into Gurren Lagann.

Code Geass R2 (anyone ?!)
The story is filled with BIG plot holes. The characters are LAME."all hail lulu?! my a$$!). the mechas are bad (even the old gundams are done better !). Hell, almost everything in this show is BAD.
It's a shame to see an anime like this in the top 5 lists .*sigh* peoples standers must've fallen hard over the past few years

i don't understand, when you finish reading it you wanted to vomit so its disgusting
...So how is it the worst manga?

worst anime is naruto and bleach. They don't develop at all every episode feels like a tumor is growing in your head due to stress and annoying characters.

O_O major plot holes? besides the open-ended last episode, everything was explained pretty well. i didn't watch all of it until it ended just for the point of being able to sit down in one day and watch it all so as to not miss anything, and i didn't find any real problems.

I HATE Elfen Lied to the core. UGLY ART. I can usually stand ecchi BUT
ugly art + ecchi + stupid girl who strips EVERYWHERE = oh my god. no no no no no.

Bleach, Naruto. It's just too damn LONG.

Ubel Blatt... Tenjou Tenge.... Battle Royale... (Can't stand the art)

Any harem in which "a boy who was bullied, stupid, short actually has BIG p*n*s and all girls seem like... he's the only male existed in the world" or any stupid shoujo in which "no-good-girl with ugly face, ugly body, no brain, WEAK and shy suddenly get a handsome-prince-charming-who-is-good-in-anything"

For example... Watase Yuu. Almost all of her works is about no-good-girl with super-handsome-and-strong guy. Talk about dreams.

Hmm... while I'm at it... Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Idiots running around to collect feathers.... I fell asleep after watching the anime for 10 minutes
Mwahahaha... and don't forget the 2 metre body... lol.

God Child. I detest the ending and I (personally) think the story itself is a huge turnover. The mangaka herself didn't expect it the first time she did it, but she made it as if everything was carefully planned by making countless new facts, replacing the old believes when we started to read the manga. At first I was like "Whoa, so it was like that." But then, it happened for... perhaps more than 20 times, each new fact replacing the old, making you a bit confused to chronologically rethink of everything again. If you just take it as it is, then you might think that the mangaka prepared it from the start but for me it's just like jumbled puzzles being forced to fit together.

Might add many more...

A lot of the generic popular shounen stuff is in my opinion, really, really bad. Some of the less popular shoujo series, the ones with especially bad art, are also unbearable. I can't name any series right now though, besides the obvious Naruto. Most really crappy series I don't spend much time on and quickly forget.

You could argue series like Tu-Love-Ru are really bad, considering this series is over a hundred chapters of cliched harem characters, ecchi, and no development or plot advancement at all, but I like the characters too much, and love the art, so it ends up being more enjoyable than some series with real plot but crappy art or nasty characters.

Fruits Basket.

Himawari.

It's one of the few I just stopped watching, and couldn't finish. Even the bad ones I can normally finish just to see how they'd end, but that one, I stopped halfway.

I'm sure there are quite a few turds in my anime basket, but, because they were as such, it's harder to remember them!

Love Hina (anime) made me rage.
Though why I watched it straight through...I'll never know
Chobits (anime) was sooooooo~~~ boring. zzZZZzzZz


*In the future*
Me: What the fugnuggets?!

________________

same! I managed chapter 3 or 4 before I gave up and went to sleep.

Magister Negi magi or something. AWFUL. I've heard other people rave about it being the guy's new manga from Love Hina, it almost made me want to say NO to Love Hina altogether.

Tokyo Mew Mew - it was like Disney Channel was involved somehow in this manga, all the most silliest things occured, it was all about some cat girl's love for a human boy and then fighting some evil things from space, just a waste of space that would make even Sailor Moon shake her head at it, the Anime is bearable only in the Japanese format, don't get me started on the worst dub in history.

Datte Suki Nandamon - the guy doesn't like her and she practically begs him, PLEASE.
Hot Gimmick - if ANY of these characters existed, I'd shoot them.
