Anime Shows you AVOID, Don't Like, or tried a bit of and BAILED

[Prinz Eugen]

There's another thread going about what people are watching and enjoying now, but this thread is the flipside. Let's say a friend says I'm watching an anime and it's about {x} and it takes place in [y] and there's this [z] that comes along ...

... and given the {x} and [y] and [z], you might not TELL your friend on the spot, but you KNOW you'll have NO INTEREST in that show.

Or you start a show and something happens and BAM - you're out and done with it.

[dshwshr55]

I'd have to say Witch Hunter Robin. No explanation...

[~boogiepop~]

I'll bail out on most shows if they're more then a season unless it's really caught my attention. Most shows over around 30 episodes tend to be full of fillers which I'd rather not waste my time watching.

Some shows I dropped or dislike besides the obvious Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha are .hack//legend of the Twilight, Angel Sanctuary, Saiyuki, Spiral, Strike Witches, Gravitation, To Aru Majutsu no Index, and actually probably a lot more if I cared to sit down and ponder about it. I've gotten a lot pickier with my anime as the years go on.

[Lin]

I want to bail on Green Green for obvious reasons to anyone who knows the series, but my friends keep insisting I 'need' to watch it. XP

[Prinz Eugen]

So here's kinda my list:

HS romance shows where it's all about the wimp tripping up on a girl then getting his 'nads kicked when it wasn't his fault. Or 'Boy tries to be nice and girl beats him for not being PERFECT.' Louise in Zero no Tsukaima needs to be hit BACK a few times.

Japanese has many levels of grammar; I tend to bail on the shows where most chara speak at the street-trash level. I don't mind when a chara who talks street-Japanese gets PWNED by someone else speaking formal Japanese; that's awesome. He deserves it.

'Low-Rez' i.e, coarsely drawn animation. Leave that to the gaijin animators, who make crap like Family Guy, Bart Simpson, and Sponge Bob. Give me beautiful details and landscapes and light treatments, weather and seas done right, eyes that remind me of beautiful gems, etc.
FAIL: One Piece.

Nothing-important-is-happening' i.e, Kanon. Didn't make it through ep 1.
There was another deathly boring show with 'Yokohama' in the name. The guy who recommended it to me said, 'Oh, it's a character-driven show. I guess that means the same as a 'cement block driven sports car,' or something.

Too much helium. If all the seiyuu have high-pitched voices and all the characters look in the 8yr - 12yr range, I'm OUT. All-hyper kiddie voices give me a headache after a while. Figure 17, Bottle Fairy, Ojamajo Do-Re-Mi, gone.

Bhudda-headed or baby-headed boy as the main character. Akira and DBZ, gone.

Being clubbed to death by environmentalist propaganda: Mononoke Hime and the FF movie.

Trashing my own personal religious choice or opinions: FMA. The kid kept insisting 'There is no God' too often for me to get to like him or anyone else in the show. Gone before the end of ep. 1. I don't beat people over the head with my religion, but I won't let an atheist bludgeon me with his unrelenting opinions either. NEXT.

Most anything over like 52 eps, with two or three rare exceptions.
Bleach, D.Gray.Man, Detective Conan, Naruto, Marchen Awakens Romance,
One Piece, Groove Adventure Rave. Done.
(My few exceptions: Juuni-Kokki, Monster, Hikaru no Go,**
**which was a mistake, given the ending.

Bleach I bailed around ep 18 when it became clear that all they were gonna do is block Ichigo from getting to Rukia with a Bad Guy of The Week. I check back a year later and I got the low-rez chirpy bird with the blue hat, and I'm gone.

Stuff that's been on for so long and it doesn't seem to be driving to a conclusion: Gundam.

Anything my Rumiko Takahashi. I like my stories to have a stisfying and comprehensice END to them, and she has openly stated that after the fan reaction to the endign of her first story, she will NEVER end any of her stories. So, if its a Takahashi, I'm OUT. No matter how cool the story, I will *not* get emotionally involved in it! (Sometimes that does take willpower though...)

[~boogiepop~]

Nothing-important-is-happening' i.e, Kanon. Didn't make it through ep  1

You should try Kanon again. I almost didn't get through the first episode as well but my buddy said to keep going and it would be worth it. The first five episodes are really blah and then it gets crazy awesome.

[Prinz Eugen]

I tried - what was it - Air about the girl in the wheelchair who will die if anyone makes friends with her, and she almost makes it to the beach? There was a secondary character called Kanna, and I wanted a channel button so we could watch 13 or 26 eps of her Kanna's story in the cool Heian or Edo period or whenever, but no.

Hack//Sign was a cool world and I actually finished it waiting for SOMETHING to happen. THe next series was essentialy 'Chibi-Hack,' so I bailed. Then discovered Zegapain which is closer to what dot-hack COULD have been. (Thumbs up.)

Don't take this personally as it's part of your sig line but, also:

The druggie-world shows I either bailed on or should have:
Serial Experiments Lain
Paranoia Agent
Boogiepop Phantom
FLCL
Samurai Champloo (doesn't make sense + ugly character = gone.)

A show I REALLY Liked, set in the same period as Champloo was ...
(take a breath it's a LONG name)
Bakamatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
Great fun, and a good bit of history on the Ezo period and the
failed rebellion in the north of Japan.

Elfen Lied The bloody [glands] all the way
through the OP or ED (I forgot which.)  Gonzo.

[Hawkeye]

One word:  Naruto

[Man of the Public]

Naruto and Bleach. Too much filler, not enough substance. ANd most the characters are/were unlikable.
Once again most anything with 50+ episodes.
However there has been a few exceptions to that rule for me: One Piece, GaoGaiGar, and Soul Eater so far.

[Prinz Eugen]

Ratio of:

(Characters I am interested in, OR an interesting situation or setting for them)

vs

(Characters characters I'm not interested in or get turned off by)

... must remain favorable.

For now, Persona - Trinity Soul is on the edge:
Several characters I really DON'T like,
but cool music here and there, and
two characters I enjoy watching.

[Deviant Spider]

*Dont stone me to death....*

[Trumby]

I have watched all of almost every show I've started. The only one I can think of that I haven't was Najica Blitz Tactics and I only watched the first episode. That show is nothing but panty shots, I swear.

[Negima]

Bobobobo-(however many this title needs)
- I get the jokes and everything, gave it a couple of chances, and... no, I won't even give a chance to be background noise.

After that, it's more of a genre thing.
I don't like anything that has a lot of blood and gore in it.

[Mister_manji]

Stuff that's been on for so long and it doesn't seem to be driving to a conclusion: Gundam.

What? Each Gundam series is a separate timeline and story, not an anthology. Each one has, by the end of its run, come to a conclusion.

One Piece definitely.

Kanokon. turned into soft-core porn, no real story to speak of.

[nikkiolie]

One Piece. That is it so far

[superjaz]

reighn nuff said it made my eyes bleed

reighn nuff said it made my eyes bleed

YES!  Definitely agree on both Bobo bo Bobobo And Reign - The Conqueror.  I couldn't stand either for long.  A real pity given that the voice talents we had at the last con were from Bobo bo Bobobo  I also am not a fan of to much gore.  I suppose more of sensless gore.  I did watch Elfen Lied all the way through.  It still isn't exactly a favorite, but I have seen stuff that I didn't watch because it was just a splatterfest.

I am not a big fan of Serial Experiment LAIN  I think it was the way the eyes are drawn and the pacing.  I just never could get into it.

Didn't like Boogiepop Phantom or Paranormal Agent.  I may try Paranormal Agent again sometime, because I do like the movies done by the creator, but it didn't grab me the first time around, and I am just not a fan of horror and suspense.

One series I just couldn't watch was Simoun.  Total Yuri overload.   

I still haven't made it through Excel Saga.  I do know one thing, I won't watch it in English, that voice talent had my ears bleeding halfway through the first episode.   

GeneShaft is another anime I couldn't get into, despite the fact that I have read many of the books it is based off of.  (I could tell that James P. Hogan's Giants Star trilogy had a large effect on it.)  I think it was the Dolce Doll that did this one in for me.   

[Deviant Spider]

@ Wuntvor

We clash bigtime lol. I love Serial Experiment Lain, Elfen Lied and Simoun 

* Others I dont like.
One Piece (as others mentioned) I couldnt get into the Manga either.

I loved the Manga for Yu-Gi-Oh but I hate hate hate the american "made for TV" anime....it was lame

I loved reading Naruto when Shonen Jump was first put out (like issue 1) but then it became "too mainstream" and I just lost interest.

I cant handle FLCL at all.

I tried Burst Angel and gave up. I enjoy some of the characters but I just dont find myself drawn to Mechas....

Gundam is NOT my thing at all

I hated Pokemon once Tracy joined Ash and Misty, after Brock left. I havent watched much since. There are just TOO many Pokemon now and I dont have the intrest of a 10 year old anymore lol

I normally dont watch animes that have OLD style artwork unless someone says its "Amazing: Must See!" I just find myself drawn to pretty soft artwork....yeah Im girly I guess (Exception to this would be Perfect Blue: I love that anime, if a bit dark)

Never have been able to get into Transformers or Voltron....But once again its Mecha

I believe Guy mentioned "Air"....I enjoyed the artwork but it was so sad that I would tend to stay away from tearjerker animes....I WILL watch them though. (I have avoided Grave of the Fireflies for that reason alone)

Gunslinger girl couldnt hold my interest at all for some reason. But I loved Noir and Madlax. I guess I like the "girls with guns" animes but they cant be little kids lol.

[princessmoon]

I bailed on Hunter X Hunter...I fell asleep in the middle of episode 1. Either I was tired or my brain found it boring. People keep telling me to continue tho'

I think I bailed on Saiyuki too...I can't remember why 'cause that was a loooong time ago.

[AnimeMatrix]

I've listed the animes that I don't watch under the thread about anime you watch and I'm too lazy to re-post my list (and that's what inspired this thread...). However, one thing that I can definitely say is NEVER JUDGE A SERIES BASED ON MUSIC! I once heard the opening song for the Tales of Eternia anime series and I really liked it, then I watched the anime- BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! Dur- everything about that series except maybe the opening song and character designs annoyed me. And yet (I don't know why), I still powered through to finish it to the end (because I can never bail on a series no matter how bad it gets. Thankfully it's only 12 episodes long >_<). But I hated that show.

Other than that, I'm generally not to picky.

[Prince Nori]

95% of Yaoi....

*Dont stone me to death....*

I'm a pretty big fan of yaoi, a lot of people can tell you that. BUT! I have to agree with you, 95% of yaoi so ridiculous, it makes me angry XD -high five-

[Prinz Eugen]

I happen to agree with D-S on some of her preferences:

1- I normally don't watch animes that have OLD style artwork

2- Never have been able to get into Transformers or Voltron....But once again its Mecha

3a-  tend to stay away from tearjerker animes.
3b- (I have avoided Grave of the Fireflies for that reason alone)

4- Gunslinger girl couldn't hold my interest at all for some reason. But I loved Noir and Madlax. I guess I like the "girls with guns" animes but they cant be little kids lol.

1- Right with you. Couldn't get into the thing Leiji Matsumoto made for DaftPunk - even though it was late '90s (?) it felt so 60s/70s that I bailed. Also, up through the 70s, 'Japanamation' as it was called, still held two stereotypes that I found annoying: one was that all the 'good guys' had to have dark eyes. Light eyes (back then) were usually reserved for 'bad guys' or the alien weirdo. The other was that everyone got to be tall (the comic heroic proportion of 8.5 heads tall or more) EXCEPT that there ALWAYS had to be one SD character in the show, usually connected with the one 'babe' character. Examples: (Urusei Yatsura) Lum and larva-boy, Speed Racer's girl has a tomato-head SD brother, and the weapons guy Dr.-whoever on Star Blazers. Generally the Japanese dropped the shrimp-character in the early 1980s. And by the late 1990s, eye designs really became attractive to me.

2- Not a big mecha fan either, unless there's something ELSE going on and the world just happens to have mecha in it.

3a & b - Right there with you.

4- I liked Madlax and Noir too, but I liked Ginslinger girl a little, because I had fun recognising the weapons. Oh, and one of the chara had blonde pigtails. Then she grew up and became Eri Sawachika in School Rumble, right? Noir and Madlax seemed like shared-world cousins, same music band, same studio, etc.

Anyone notice that all the bad guys in Noir fire tracers ALL THE TIME?
(Look for all the red steaks whenever there's incoming fire.)

Cazador de la Bruja was made by the Noir/Madlax gang too, I but haven't even started watching at all - again, like Gunslinger, they seem too young.

[Prinz Eugen]

NEVER JUDGE A SERIES BASED ON MUSIC! I once heard the opening song for the Tales of Eternia anime series

I stuck with it for a while too. We had 'ridiculous hair bigger than ping-pong paddles' girl, which was comically distracting, also Megumi Hayashibara voiced for a secondary character (Marone) but just like Hunter x Hunter (which I also bailed on,) I couldn't believe the full-hoop-skirt costumes in a woodsy adventure RPG setting. And the ending was a train-wreck to me.

There have been several series I enjoyed but can't stand the OP - Death Note, for one. Just set your VLC player to advance 80sec and you can skip through almost all of the OPs.

Ergot Doxy (Ergo Proxy) was another one I couldn't finish. Cool surface-sailing vessel, but the main dark character gets saddled with a weenie-boy, and I punched 'eject' after about 7 eps. She should have ended up adventuring with a guy like Negotiator Yugo or something, or fallen in with the Black Lagoon crowd.

Also (imho) FLAG = FAIL.

[Mr Silmero]

Saiyuki- mainly watched it for the GF but once I realized they would never end (or close to it) I bailed

Prince Of Tennis- I honestly gave it a try, couldn't do it

Hikaru No Go: Same as Saiyuki, I got really far but it just lost my interest

Naruto: Never Ended

Bleach: Never Ended

and I will get SO much hate for this but...

Death Note: I have no idea why, but I just COULD NOT stay interested in this one.

[KogaRyu]

One piece, Inuyasha, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Don't kill me)
aaand thats all I can think of for now.

[Prinz Eugen]

One of the unwritten rules of this thread should be:
DON'T try to "convert" someone who has already said "I don't like {x.}"
Now, 'Why don't you like {x}' is one thing, but not - 'Oh!~ you need to rewatch it so you'll LIKE IT!'
People have many internal reasons for why they don't like certain shows.
Unfortunately you then seem to get hit with thunderous fanboi furor when you say you personally don't like something that happens to be really popular or especially a show with a small and RABID fanbase.

Hence the "Don't Kill Me" asides we have been seeing here.

My top "Don't Kill Me For Not Liking it" shows would probably be
Akira and Mononoke Hime. (Everyone is 'supposed' to like those, right?)

Question for KogaRyu: What turned you off from Code Geass?
(I have some aspects I liked, and some things I found annoying...)

[StarryShay]

One piece, Inuyasha, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Don't kill me)

How come?

Well I jumped ship at the train wreck of a second season.

[Seraph]

I hold the opinion that Code Geass was Screwed by The Network
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScrewedByTheNetwork

I had actually watched the Loveless anime, it started off interesting, but then Ritsuka meets Soubi and then my interest died.

@Nori & Spider
just curious, but what reasons you find you dislike 95% of yaoi?

[Mister_manji]

You are going to have to explain yourself here. I need to know what camp you are in.

I admit I didn't watch too much but it seems as if Light has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever and if he was ever going to get his it would be at the ending of the series which I knew would not be for awhile, if my protagonist has to be a bad guy I'd at least like him to have SOMETHING positive about him (MPD Psycho or something like that) then just be plain psychotic and evil.

He's the Protagonist and the Antagonist.  And he also dies. Not saying how, when, or where, but he does die and I was going, "HA! TOLD YA SOOOO. the. tables. HAVE BEEN TUUUURNED."

It was funny.

[Mr Silmero]

Technically he is not the antagonist- antagonist does not always mean "bad guy" it simply means one who opposes the main character so actually L is the antagonist...ok now that it's done.


Yeah I know he dies but meh...I'd rather just YouTube it then watch the entire series.


Also- Ouran Host Club, this one is actually manga related. Read a few chapters, put it down and have not looked back.

[BlackjackGabbiani]

One Piece. Let me put it this way--I couldn't even notice how bad the dubbing was because I was too distracted by EVERYTHING MOVING. It reminded me of those 1930s cartoons where everything's moving around jerkily even though they're meant to be standing still, and it looks like someone threw paint into a mixmaster and called it animation.

[Stevie]

I avoid Naruto, just because I'd never finish it.

I  don't watch much anime, but I just bailed on Naruto.

Two hundred plus episodes? Forget it.

[EveofAbyss]

Let's see, there are a few that I really try to avoid.

Naruto: I've tried multiple times to watch it, and every episode I have ever caught went nowhere. There is just so much plotlessness in there, at least to this viewer. And the character of Naruto is pretty annoying, just looking at him or listening to him makes me want to punch him, lol.

Inuyasha: Pretty much the same reason, except Inuyasha isn't as annoying a character as Naruto.

Hmmm, Gravitation, I believe it was. Watched the first episode of that and then spent an equal amount of time wondering why there would be a show made about such a boring person and bizarrely common topic. Didn't catch me in the least.

[KogaRyu]

One piece, Inuyasha, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Don't kill me)
aaand thats all I can think of for now.

-Gasp-
How come?

Well I jumped ship at the train wreck of a second season.

wow I had trouble making it through the first season.

One piece, Inuyasha, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion (Don't kill me)
aaand thats all I can think of for now.

You are going to have to explain yourself here. I need to know what camp you are in.

As for this I stopped watching when I got to point where it was maybe 2 full episodes of Shinji floating through a sea of Random words. At the same time I was constantly hearing about the series having a terrible ending. So I just never bothered to continue.
That was years ago soo I may have to re-watch it. (Very unlikely)

[Man of the Public]

Air Gear.
The storyline was just so boring. There wasn't really anything happening 'cept for a guy and his rollerskates.
And perverted things.

The manga's storyline is better.

However there is still plenty of ecchi in the series.

[Negima]

Just throwing in my two cents on a couple of things...

I'm not a fan of Death Note but this is what I gathered from skiming the manga.
The thing about Death Note, from my perspective, is it's a whole philisophical "What is good?" question mixed in with bits of action.  I've seen fans of Light and L who really think their side is the right side.  So I think it's suppose to be a series that makes you think, "if you had to pick a side to help the world, which path would you take?"  So anyway I'm not a fan but I do like the message I think it's aiming for.  (Then again, I could be waaaaay off)

[EveofAbyss]

Well, I love Death Note, but in reading it, the way I felt in reading it is that Light is so morally perverse and corrupt in his means to achieving his goal that it seemed impossible for anyone to side with him. He starts off likable enough, but as things progress he just seems to become more and more of a monster, a shinigami without the sense of boredom and displacement, so to speak. So when I read it, I tended to side with L and felt that whoever opposed Light was truly good, even if Light thought himself to be the greatest good. So, it does show a great analysis on, like you mentioned, who is right? Does perception and the belief of true virtue make one the only truly right side? It's interesting, I loved it to death, lol.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Gotta say, most of the series I've picked up I've ended up watching all the way through. D.Gray-Man, for instance, took me all summer and I now have the entire series, filler and all, on my computer.

But a series I dropped and never picked back up? Yami no Matsuei, Loveless, One Piece, Zatch Bell, Bobo Bo Bobobo, Yu-gi-oh, the list goes on and on and on. I've also dropped the Naruto Shippuden anime, though that was because of the filler, so I might pick that back up eventually since I'm still reading the manga. I dropped Bleach for the entirety of the last filler arc, too, but I'm back to watching that sporadically.

Yami no Matsuei and Loveless I was basically sat on and forced to watch on Youtube by a friend of mine that's no longer a friend for reasons such as this. She also seemed to think that boys kissing and being moe was "supa kawaii desu desu" and spent every waking moment of every day trying to prove to me that this is fact. That's probably why I despise yaoi anime/manga now, actually...

One Piece I could never get into. It's longer than Naruto and Bleach put together at this point and quite frankly the animation makes me want to hit something. I catch an episode every now and then when it's on and there's nothing else to watch, but that's it. It's the same way with Zatch Bell, but that's the premise along with the animation and I don't bother watching it anymore. Yu-gi-oh I mostly hated for the crazy hair and the overt '4kids'-ness of it. I still watch Pokemon, though!

Bobo bo... Yeahno. Bobo bo is in a category all to its own. It's just so mind-numbingly... Mind-numbing that I can't help but hate it.

I also can't seem to make it through much of Gundam anything nowadays. It all seems like a rehash of the Gundam I watched as a little kid, even though it isn't. Tried to get my little sister to watch Gundam 00 because she's mad in-love with Gurren Lagann, but not even she could stand to watch it.

[Prinz Eugen]

I cratered "Zatch Bell" the instant they showed the hovering grinning baby boy, winkie-winkie and all.

GONE!

Gurren Lagann, I bailed about ep 2 or 3; I didn't like the drawing style, and the shounen was annoying.

(I may have already named this one, but) Detective Conan is in the triple digits, so it's obviously NOT a show that gets to a point in a reasonable number of eps. (Like maybe 26.)

I don't automatically dislike non-comedy shows that do strange things, but only if sooner or later they get around to explaining how or why the unusual elements can MAKE SENSE. Samurai Champloo took too long to explain why one of the characters wore 20th-century style glasses. I don't know (or care now) if they ever do. BAIL.

[jaybug]

Peach Girl, Wedding Peach, please, just no. One of them came as a bonus to my order, the other, I think I had heard good things about, but it is just not what I wanted to see. I didn't want to go through a bunch of episodes trying to figure out what the REAL story was about.  Or if it only was to be about angsty stuff.

A lot of things from the 80s and 90s I just don't dig. Lesser quality animation. And someone has probably done something similar at a later date, so this older show seems all deja vu all over again.

Gundam. The continuity errors suck so bad, and it is militarily just wrong. I guess it's the equivalent of American horror movies to me. bARF. everyone except the idiots on screen know what is to happen.

There really hasn't been that many where I just sent it back to Netflix. When it happens, I more often forget the name, I send it back so fast. I didn't used to, I used to beat myself with watching the ones I really didn't like. Then I thought, I don't have enough time to do that. I want to see as much good stuff in as little time as I can. There will hopefully always be more.

[tofutakeout]

I do not speak of them because they are so bad. >_> most of the ones I don't like have been mentioned. A lot of anime series I like but there's always something about them that needs to be fixed. :/

[Cassiopeia]

A lot of anime series I like but there's always something about them that needs to be fixed. :/

Lemme see you try telling a perfect story. 

[tofutakeout]

What's its not exactly that. A lot of the time its the voice actors. I mean at times I can ignore them but it's those really annoying ones that don't sound like the character at all. lol 

[Prinz Eugen]

but it's those really annoying ones that don't sound like the character at all. lol

Oh, you mean dubbed anime?

[Cassiopeia]

Ahhh.
