Q3: Was 3 votes for worst anime better than the 5 votes last year?

Q4: Should "most avoided" stay as one pick or move to 3?

most avoided as one pick, but 5 votes for bad animes

I like having 1 vote for most avoided. For worst anime, I like 3 because I don't think I watch many shows I dislike, but increasing it is fine since I'd still just vote for 3 or so.

Like considering the people involved with Chaos Dragon and the fact that *nobody* cared about it? That's a good sign of how boring most viewers found it

Srice posted:

From all accounts Chaos Dragon was aggressively dull and boring and unremarkable and etc etc, which makes it a good candidate for the worst thing but that would require people to actually watch a few episodes.

I was the only one who bothered to make the thread for it after 3 episodes and even then I dropped after episode 5

I'll watch Cross Ange because every reason that the sub-neanderthal imbeciles on this forum disliked it sound appealing to me and it honestly sounds like a better version of the best anime of this Millenium, Code Geass.

There isn't a single thing it does better, objectively speaking, and many that it does considerably worse. This has been scientifically proven.

But I hope your subjective craving for the "women-in-prison" exploitation genre mixed with random dragons and crotch landings will be satisfied.

Most enraging ending could be a category, since the ending tends to skew peoples' lists to some degree. If it were, I can think of a few shows that I somehow managed to suffer my way through that would have gotten my vote over, for example, Rokka.

Those categories seem kinda bad. Worst Animation is weird because tons of shows don't even try. Worst VA is just a catfight. Worst Moment could be fun though.

The second thing I wanted to say is that I watched way too much of Cross Ange because it had an amazing interstitial that made me think the show was going to turn into Escaflowne at some point. I don't think that lady ever even rode a dragon. What a loving waste.

Worst Animation is hard to get good votes for because what actually constitutes animation can be rather narrow or hard to distinguish from other parts of the visual presentation. You'd surely get people voting "those giant chins look horrible" despite that being a character design thing. And then shows like Ping Pong which is actually well animated, but an unusual style.

that's basically the thing about cross ange. even if you can get past the fact that it's kind of loving vile (and this is coming from someone who loves poo poo like Genocyber) it's just... not interesting. the plot is basically just Stone Ocean, Zeta Gundam, Escaflowne, and a dog turd chucked into a blender, set to puree, and extruded into a glass like some kind of horrible anime Soylent.

Not to mention that different people value different aspects of animation, such as say fluidity of animation or how detailed it is.

It could certainly spur some interesting conversations tho so I'm conflicted!

I sort of feel the same about 'worst acting'. It's being argued that it's too subjective, but this is the bad anime thread. drat near everything in it is subjective. It'd be hard to argue that voice acting isn't a key part of a show's quality, too.

I assume there'll be opposite versions of these in the good anime thread as well? Best acting, best animation, and so on?

There's no reason to overcomplicate things when doing a top 5 kind of catches all those details anyway

Not necessarily. There may be shows that you wouldn't put in your top five overall, but are the obvious best at one specific thing, just as there are shows that aren't overall terrible, but have some really bad stuff in them. For instance, OPM wasn't in my top five this year, but it's a good candidate for 'best animation' simply because being an animation showcase is one of its biggest reasons for being.
