For every smile there is a frown. It's the same in the anime world.

As for me: Gundam Seed.

The only reason I saw it through was because I watch anything I start up to the very end.

[tai]

i'm starting to dislike most fighting and mech anime. (ie dragonball z/gt and gundam)

it just drags out for soooooooo long and becomes very boring.

[Scar da Kookee]

DBGT

[Analog]

Ranma 1/2.

Seen a few episodes, never cared for it really.

And its odd that I *don't* like Ranma but I *do* like InuYasha... same creator. go figure. :/

[Maverick]

Pokemon is popular? if so I would add that one.........and Dragon Ball.

[Rebel]

Pokemon...YuGiOh...uh...DB/Z/GT...I'm pretty sick of Inuyasha, though I do like it now and then. I remember everyone being hooked on Love Hina a while back...after the 3rd episode I'd basicly seen the whole show.

[darktruth]

I'd have to say Dragon Ball Z, it's just astounding how many episodes it takes for them to power up and then end up fighting either very little or just drags on even further like when they power up.

[Lynk Former]

InuYasha... it got old fast.

I hate most of DB/Z/GT simply because it's the same thing over and over and over, the only thing that saves it from complete crapiness is the fact that it has good art. Some of it is actually pretty cool lookin. Other than that meh.

Season 3 and beyond of Digimon. I found the first 2 seasons to have a little charm due to clever jokes, etc.

Pokemon? It does have its moments, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. I've been watching it since Episode 1 till, whatever the hell episode it's up to now, 500 and something I think lol. Some episodes are pretty funny and good but most of it is repetative nonesense. But I can live with it.

As for Yu-Gi-Oh! it would be nice if it wasn't so full of bullshit cause some of the creature designs are actually pretty good.

Beyblades?... AHAHAHAH A complete joke, even Digimon has more credability than this.

Crash Gear Turbo? See: Beyblades.

Gundam, sorry but something about Gundam just doesn't click with me. It's really strange cause I usually like just about anything o.o Maybe I have too much Macross love in me.

[Moelman]

I never liked Yu-Gi-Oh! from the start. I don't watch too much InuYasha anymore either.

[kyubichan]

So far:

Gundam - 3
Dragonball - 5
Ranma 1/2 , Digimon, Beyblade, Crush Gear Turbo, Love Hina- 1
Pokemon - 3
YugiOh - 3
InuYasha - 2

@lynk

If you thought Crush Gear Turbo was bad, oh boy... Crush Gear Nitro IS waaaay nastier. I kinda liked CGT a bit so I thought I'd try the sequel. My mistake.

As for Digimon, I thought Digimon and Tamers were okay, D02 was kinda lame....but it's safe to say Frontier never should've been made.

YuGiOh... card game is nice, not too complicated (but boring when you play it on the PC). Anime and manga are.... what's the word? BS! Especially the English dub! God! And Yugi's hair! Character designs are probably one of the worst....

Beyblade... ROFL

I'd like to add Weiss Kreuz and Gensomaden Saiyuki... Weiss was bad to begin with, wonder why they made a sequel... Saiyuki's first installment was fine.... but curse those sequels!!!!!!

Oh. And Fushigi Yuugi. *bleep*

OT: Can you imagine the torture we endure in our country courtesy of air channels? Anime line-up>> Zenki, Naruto (re-re-reruns), DBZ, Saiyuki, Slayers, Love Hina, Prince of Tennis.... *sigh* thank God for cable TV and the Net

[tai]

the first 2 seasons of digimon were allright, i even brought the manga, but the rest of it sucks wang.

i have some bayblade & digimon frontier manga here, i guess it was allright for the 5 bucks i payed for it lol i got bored really quickly with it tho.

and on the subject of yu-gi-oh.....does anyone think yugi is gay? i mean he dresses in tight leather and pants, while wearing a collar and draping himself in chains.

[spectre]

I-N-U-Y-A-S-H-A

especially the dub. especially.

[Analog]

Funniest anime commercial I've ever seen was the one the adult swim staff made for InuYasha. The entire 30 sec commercial was nothing but InuYasha and Kagome yelling each others name... which in reality is about 95% of the series anyway :P

(I still find the show funny to watch even after 130 episodes though... I'm one sick puppy XP)

[Lynk Former]

@ tai: There are gayer people than Yugi.

[Damatee]

most hated Anime for me has to be Dragonball/Z/*and especially* GT, come on they spend an entire season in one fight and typically spend half of each episode saying the name of an attack really really slowly.

next on the list Pokemon, Gods I hate this Anime with every fiber of my being, its either the whining brat who has a talking yellow Rat as a pet and is allowed to wonder around the world at 11 years old (Japanese or US?) *Talk about irisponsible parenting*, then there's a pair of idiots who act like they have escaped a worlds worst clown competition, add a bunch of lame-ass idiots along the way and a world full of annoying creatures, and you have what i consider a crap Series.
(right I'm going to draw a picture of an Alien Killing a lot of Pokemon for having to actually think about this series).

Ahem... then we come to Digimon, the first two series were ok but everything else was just a waste of air time, series 3 was not as bad as it could have been, but 4... utter rubbish.

then we have Everyones pet dislike, Yu-Gi-Oh, to be honest its a shame it turned out the way it did, the Designes for some of the monsters was amazing... unfortunatly good design cant make up for poor story or acting

Beyblade, that series pritty much sucked from the begining.

Transformers Cybertron... A stain on the Name Transformers, Even Energon was 100 times better than this crap.

Ranma... saw one Episode, that was enough

[Lynk Former]

The only Transformers series I acknowledge is Generation One and Beast Wars, every other series does not exist in my eyes.

Oh and Zoids Fusion was a complete disgrace. As for Zoids New Century Zero the only good part was the last battle and that's it. After a great first two seasons of Zoids Chaotic Century and Guardian Force I can't believe they decided to screw things up. As for the new series, Zoids Genesis... I have no idea since I haven't seen it XD

[Scar da Kookee]

beast wars kicked ass

rat-trap ^_^

[Lynk Former]

Ironic that the Japanese can't seem to get Transformers right while the Americans and Canadians can lol.

How could I forget that disgrace to the Zoids series CZ was just messed up from the begining, I was expecting some of the characterss from CC to be in it but not one was even mentioned, why they decided to make it a sequal to CC I will never know it would have been better if they had just made up a whole new series instead of ripping off the previous, great series, haven't seen Genesis or Fusion yet so I cant comment on them

Ironic that the Japanese can't seem to get Transformers right while the Americans and Canadians can lol.

LoL So True, who could forget "Robots in Disguise", that was just a way of ripping off both TF and Beast Wars in a single series

[kyubichan]

@tai

about Yugi, when I first saw him on a magazine... I didn't know if I wuz gonna laugh or...laugh ROFL

Digimon 02....I found it too confusing since there were too many 'digivolutions'. And I hated the girl with glasses. I preferred Tamers coz it was set mostly in the 'human world' and the ending was kinda bittersweet (and I wuved Calumon and Renamon!). Frontier was crap. Utter crap.

Zoids... I loved CC, and the continuation was ok... but the ones with Liger Zero in it were pretty lame, especially the one with "Fuzors". THAT was so full of crap.

[Lynk Former]

Jeri in Digimon Tamers is just about the most difficult character to watch EVER.

[kyubichan]

Jeri in Digimon Tamers is just about the most difficult character to watch EVER.

gotta agree with that XD

and why does Leomon always die?

[Lynk Former]

Oh and I forgot about Medabots. Other than the nice and different artstyle I'm not really into Medabots. It's pretty much the same as Pokemon as things go but the only thing that allows me to tolerate Pokemon is the games lol.

[Eva]

Can you really dislike popular series, which are targeted for children?

I do not really dislike any particular popular anime series all that much. Maybe Inuyasha, but not really since I do not mind it all that much. Pokemon was bad, but as kid, it was entertaining and Pokemon is kinda targeted for the children, so is Digimon and the Yu-gi-Oh airing in the US. Well, everybody else is welcome to dislike it, but they are series I probably would enjoy, if I was still a kid.

[Lynk Former]

Can you really dislike popular series, which are targeted for children?

Well Card Captor Sakura is targeted towards children but I still like that There are a lot of shows aimed at children that I've watched and liked as a child and as an adult. The fact that it's "meant" for children doesn't stop me from watching it cause they're still entertaining to me. I still enjoy Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z, Zoids, etc but there are things about those series that I don't like.

Somehow I don't think you took in what most of the posts had said there Eva since a lot of us actually like what we see for the most part.

Well, that's not really what I was saying.

I actually enjoyed Digimon and Pokemon when I was younger. Obviously, looking back at them now, they're pretty bad. Point was, because we grew up and now are able to analyze logically to see how bad they are. We should dislike them, because they are so terrible?

Actually, just threw the question out there, because I've notice from people in general show a strong disliking for Pokemon, but enjoyed the series while they were younger, but now that they are older, they know how bad they are.

[Lynk Former]

I still appreciate kids stuff, remember you can always have more than one opinion of something My innerchild tells me it's great, my older self allows me to analyse it. I win either way

SO LONG SUCKERS! *rides off into the sunset*

[kyubichan]

it was entertaining and Pokemon is kinda targeted for the children, so is Digimon and the Yu-gi-Oh airing in the US.

Digimon - yes, it's for kids, and I loved Tamers
YuGiOh - 'targeted' for kids, but IMO kids in early grade school and younger shouldn't watch it.... my little cousins got scared of the monsters there...and that Millenium Eye? Kinda inappropriate.... my little cousin asked "where's his real eye?" O_o
Pokemon - is a 15 y/o still a kid? I wuz 15 when I watched it. I loved the pocket monsters until the Silver and Gold version, but the later ones in the later versions seemed pretty lame. As a 15-yr old, I found the series rather too predictable after the 5th episode. So I guess that one's aimed for young-uns.
Btw, Pikachu's Thunderbolt(?) attack almost made me throw up the first time I played Yellow ><

[spectre]

Also regardless of the anime series (which I thought was quite good, and have never held personal distaste towards) I thought that most of the games (the early ones at least) were really some of the best games available on the gameboy, and very well made on the whole.

[Blue Confusion]

I hated Pokemon when I was younger and I hate it now that I'm older. Also can't stand Digimon, Beyblades or Yu-Gi-Oh, despite only seeing one or two episodes. So rational and non-judgemental.

[Lynk Former]

AHAHAH I totally forgot about how hilarious that referee guy in Medabots is I love it how they just make him pop up at any moment whenever there's a battle I thought that was really clever, all the different ways that happened.

[Niner]

FLCL sucked.
Trigun was boring.
InuYasha is DBZ for girls (gg VG Cats).
Naruto is way too long and filler-tastic.
Grave of the Fireflies can only be watched once.
Hikaru no Go is only good if you like Go. Other than that, it was boring as shit.
Akira was stupid.

[Lynk Former]

Ninja Scroll TV, okay maybe it's not so popular but it still sucks either way.

[Scar da Kookee]

[Analog]

One series that bugs me more than most is Tenchi Muyu! Two things in particular I don't like:

1) Tenchi (the character) is just plain annoying
2) AIC makes way too many spinoffs of Tenchi when they could be making BGC series instead :P

[Lynk Former]

Holy crap I can't believe I forgot Tenchi lol, I wholeheartedly agree with ya there Analog

[Eva]

The good old days when Toonami was airing Tenchi over and over again and I remember how I could not stand that series.

I heard that Akira manga is so much better than the movie.

[FirestarterCL]

I liked the first Tenchi Muyo series... I never bothered to watch any of the others though.

Saying that, I enjoy alot of shows that people seem to hate. I'll give pretty much anything a chance, if I just watch a show and don't expect anything from it and ignore the hype (positive or negative), I'll usually end up enjoying it. Not everything has to be a masterpiece, as long as I got some enjoyment from a show, it's good.

I have to agree with some of the first shows mentioned in here though, I really didn't care much for Gundam Seed or Dragonball GT.

[Lynk Former]

You're right, but then again I've watched all of the animes I've critisised in this thread so XP

[Eva]

Weren't most of these series mention editted compare to their original Japanese counterparts? Not just names.

Pokemon, Yu-gi-Oh and other shows had some things removed, right? Lol, I remember they removed a gun from Yu-gi-Oh Keith and he was threatening a person with his finger since his gun was removed.
