Break out your brain bleach and prepare to be thoroughly bored out of your mind, here are 8 of the worst animes I’ve ever seen. I’ve done the dirty work and suffered through countless terrible animes to bring you this list. While some verge on "so-bad-it’s-good" territory, others are just downright awful. Bear in mind, I am only human, so I’m sure this list only uncovers the tip of the cringe-worthy iceberg.

(Disclaimer: Excluded from this list are any works of hentai (Japanese anime porn), any blatantly pedophilic content (nope, nope, nope!) or meme-tier animes like Shitcom because those are such low-hanging fruit they’re not even worth mentioning anyway.)

School Days  

Starting off this list is School Days, an anime that falls under the "so-bad-it’s-good" category. School Days is sure to grace nearly every "worst anime ever" list out there, and for good reason, too. This infamous harem anime is a complete and utter train wreck from start to finish, with an extremely bland cast of characters and over-the-top violence.

The two acts feel incongruous: the beginning ambles along while the second act is equivalent to an extravagant but low budget gore porn flick. Fans of the series argue that School Days is a misunderstood deconstruction of the popular harem genre akin to Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the magical girl genre. While I did appreciate the series for its treatment of the main character and how it subverts common tropes in the harem genre, the execution was so poor that it was more comedic than enlightening. If you’re looking for a good laugh and are willing to suffer through more bad than good, I suggest giving School Days a try.
