Seven Ocean. Worst magna ever.
Ofc from only manga I completely read, I know there are even worse manga. But I dont read them if I know they're bad. The only reason I read this was cause this was short and the first 5 (of 6) chapter were fine and I didnt expect it to end like that.
The ending, worst ending Ive ever seen. It makes me regret ever having started reading this. Its totally unpexteced, open and totally horrible. It would be fine if it was certain that there were a continuation but like that, hell no, its just bad and really got me pissed (first time that I got pissed about a manga, usually (even if I dont like it), I can tolerate it, cause its the mangaka's work and he/she decides how the story goes and I just follow it, but not this one ARGH...

Worst manga: *insert generic ecchi harem fanservice manga here*. Good example: Tsuki Tsuki!

Not the worst but a manga I really hated is Byousoku 5 Centimeter. The ending was just so wrong.

Worst Anime: definitely Shuffle! Horrible plot, characters straight out of an eroge (literally), bad voice acting and fanservice everywhere. The only thing I remotely liked about that anime was the opening. That this was ever so popular just shows that a great deal of anime otakus are braindead perverts. Bah I get the creeps even thinking about it.

________________

WTF? Wrong how? I consider the ending to be better than the anime's. It gave the reader hope!

Everyday I'm tumblin'

If I remember correctly the story is basically 2 people growing distant. And the MC does nothing about it. I really had the urge to punch him to actually do something to stop that, call the girl, send a letter or whatever. But he does nothing and they just fall apart. I really hated that.

________________

The story was about the couple being torn apart by what seems to be fate.
All he had was her home address to send letters to (which might have changed for all we know).
I was also under the impression that they either weren't in the time period where mobiles were easily available, or that they didn't have them at the age they were at - and even when they finally did, they didn't know each other's numbers! It was already too late!

Oda Nobuna no Yabou.

It might be a little strong to say it's the worst anime/manga out there, but I find it unwatchable and unreadable.

Like, its very concept repulses me. For this reason, I CAN'T - not won't - CAN'T watch it, and am therefore limited to what I'm able to legitimately gripe about. Normally I'd watch or read something I despise specifically so I'm able to decry it, but this one's the exception. It might be a trite reason too, but hear me out:

I can't stop thinking, "what if this happened to a guy in a different country?" No, seriously. That's the reason I can't watch this junk.

I live in the United States. If you don't, that's fine, but for all you Americans, can you imagine a show made in America about a young lad that gets thrown back in time to when the 'Founding Fathers' were establishing the country, only to find out they were actually buxom, voluptuous, and teenaged 'Founding Mothers', all of which seem to be more interested in vieing for some random time-traveler's dick instead of running a country? Ridiculous! Who'd watch that!? Can you imagine this happening to a boy in Germany, and he finds that Hitler was actually a moe girl who was just a little misunderstood? GImme a break!

Just, apply this concept to your own countries. Weird, right?

I mean, this is a pretty popular series, so maybe I'm just odd, but I can't help but find this embarrassingly awful.

...

No, no, no... I'm sorry, I just can't do it.

most of the weekly release manga its all drug out so the story becomes thin and predictable not to mention a lot of the elements are a rinse lather repeat format

To me (note: *to me*), kaichou wa maid-sama is one of the most egregious offenders because its popularity is totally out of proportion to the quality of the manga/anime. I don't get it at all.

EDIT: same goes for Dengeki Daisy, which I think I like even less if memory serves

I would like to answer this.

Reason #1: the fights are awful. They're just random explosions. None of the powerups are properly explained or make any sense relative to each other. You just see people shout attack names and then explosions. There's no strategy to the fights, and there's no clear hierarchy of power, so it never makes any sense who wins and who loses. Ultimately, people just win or lose based on plot convenience.

There's also long arcs about training, but why?! All the new powerups just come through cheap deus ex machina means. Unlike in other (good) shounen fighting series, there's no clear relation between the training and the powerup.

Reason #2: the characters are awful. There's 40+ characters and most of them are drawn the same way, and only a handful of them have distinct personalities. I read every chapter of MSN (not long ago) and I can remember Negima, Asuna, Chao, the girl with the father complex, and the lesbians. If you're lucky, the characters will have distinct physical traits to help tell them apart (that's the only way you're going to be telling most of them apart, by the way.)

But, actually, why would you even care about telling them apart? The vast majority of the time it doesn't even matter which of Negi's 30~ generic students are in the scene. Most of them fill the same role (and since their powers are never clearly explained, and people win and lose and random, it's not important to tell them apart for the fights, either.) So, it begs the question, why are there 30 of them to begin with? It's not necessary for them to be in the story. Did one generic school girl character just not weight down the manga enough?

Reason #3: the ending is awful. It makes no sense. I know it was axed, but Akamatsu-sensei should have came up with a new ending to wrap it up. Instead he tried to cram 100+ chapters of story boards into 5 chapters, and the result made no sense and failed to wrap up basically anything.

Sorry for the rant, but I definitely don't like MSN. I read it recently and really disliked it, so I needed to vent. I need to get better at just quitting reading when I start to dislike a series. I hope that was enough "thinking" for you Scyfon, because I don't want to ever think about this series again.

Hands down, Holy Knight.
It's the only series that genuinely baffles me for how poorly it handles its characters' logical thinking, development, emotions, ambitions, etc. For the most part I'd want to see the protagonist either incredibly motivated or incredibly depressed as a result of the events and interactions he's been through (that and his childhood friend being raped), yet of course he's still too preoccupied thinking about his desire to get it on with the heroine... And that's mostly all he ever thinks about AS THE PROTAGONIST...

Manga - For sheer awful writing, I would say Renai Shinjuu. But it's so bad it's funny, so I didn't regret reading it. For a badly written series that really did annoy me, Hoshigari Love Dollar. Kyuusen no Shima was atrocious as well, but maybe redeemable for anyone able to look past the ridiculous fan service.

Anime - I haven't seen much anime, but Those Who Hunt Elves was really bad. I watched a few episodes with some boys in high school. I think that was the first (and only) anime I saw that was highly geared towards fan service, and it seemed really pointless and stupid. That being said, I'm not the target audience.

Inuyasha was pretty disappointing. It would would have done well off even with just The Final Act.

Fate Stay Night was depressingly disappointing as well. The main lead was a bit annoying and didn't appeal to me. I enjoyed Fate Zero a bit better.

He does somethig in the story, but the distance made things really hard, specialy when they still didn't have cellphone. The second and the third part of the movie, we see the protagonist hesitant and after regretful. This is, in a really exagerated form, a representation of adolscence and adulthood. Like most of Makoto Shinkai's movies, this story is about distance, and this movie is about the ending of a relationship. And about the ending of the mangá and movie, I prefer the movie's ending. In the movie, he ends with a smile, meaning that he started to move on. (sorry about my bad english)

5 centimeters per second: I liked the beginning, but the way he like held on to her for so many years. I was all like "seriously man, get over it! you're like 24 now!

I think death note should have just ended when L died. Death note didn't feel the same without L.
