Top 25 Worst Anime of Winter 2012

( Issued on Apr 25, 2012 )

The anime of the winter 2012 season which were rubbish, disappointments or merely widely hated for some petty or inexplicable reason have been handily ranked by anime fans in this distinctly controversial list, intended as the mirror image of the winter 2012 top anime ranking.

Rank	Anime
1	Black Rock Shooter
2	Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne
3	Senki Zesshou Symphogear
4	Nisemonogatari
5	Chihavafuru
6	Mirai Nikki
7	Inu x boku SS
8	Gundam AGE
9	Last Exile - Pham of the Silver Sky
10	Guilty Crown
11	Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou
12	Zero no Tsukaima F
13	Natsume Yuuchinchou 4
14	Shakugan No Shana 3
15	Thermae Romae
16	Kill Me Baby
17	Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 2
18	New Prince of Tennis
19	Aquarion Evol
20	Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!
21	BRAVE10
22	HUNTER×HUNTER
23	Another
24	Ano Natsu de Matteru
25	Bodacious Space Pirates

For those wondering how an anime can place highly on both top and untop lists
(Nisemonogatari placed 2nd on the top list and 4th on this list),
a popular title can of course expect its own legion of detractors disgusted by its popularity, to say nothing of titles which betrayed expectations or otherwise failed to live up to their full potential.

I think Shana was the most disappointing anime I've watched this winter.
I really like Shana but this third season was just ridiculous .

hmm... I watched about have of those animes, and I don't think that any of them was disappointing. I really do absolutely not agree with this list! But I think, it's really hard to make such a list!
BTW, I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that SnS was the most disappointing^^
BRS - what did you expect? Everyone saw the OVA. The anime was not much different. I think, it was a great anime (if you understand it). So I don't know, why it is ranked as most disappointing oO It was obvious, how the style was gonna be!

subjectivity ftw o:

Thats most likely because they don't care/know about other countries.

2chan or 2ch is the origin of 4chan, so an Image Board with possibilities to discuss different kinds of hobbies. Most of the stuff Charts and many other Stuff from Sankakucomplex comes from this site and its members. And 2ch is well known for their shit taste and outrages. Their charts are mostly completely meaningless.

Crap in my opinion. I wouldn't even care about rankings like that, because I decide, whether I enjoy an anime or not.

No, definitely not. They was brave enought to move away from the pattern of season one and two and naturally many fans, who liked the first two seasons, were dissapointed, but in my opinion SnS III was the only Shana-Season with a decent storyline and I enjoyed it way more than I and II, which just were full of random, meaningless fights.

> Don't like plot, where a human unites with a god, to solve the main problem of the world, by creating a new one, so his loved ones can live in peace, with pointing out the fragile line between good and evil.

> Likes plot with crying girls, whose smash each other faces and have complexes.


@Topic: Ranking is unreasonable shit.

1) I did not say that I do not like it. I just think it's pretty disappointing, that they moved so far away from the story line of I and II.

2) Yeah, I also like Higurashi and stuff like that. Problem? :D

3) signed

I think u misundestood there alot.
Its not only the changed direction of the anime, its the direction itself that was made really bad. The fights were boring as hell, with LOTS of freezes where they were just talking, expect of the last one. Everywhere new characters, that weren't even introducted, just to fill the gaps to stretch the storyline. I've seen Action-Animes as well but this was just pathetic.

Sure, I don't like it that they changed from romance-heavy to ultra-action-heavy, but if i put this beside, its still a very bad implementation.

I think thats the reason why the can't end it like this... So... [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

It never was "romance-heavy". I already heard people complaining about they don't like seasons III, because they think it has much more romance than II and I and say that wouldn't fit Shakugan no Shana.
The fights weren't boring and much less pathethic, just because you have other ideas of a fight. In my opinion the fight without talking is just an evidence for lack of originality.

I didn't "misundestood alot", I just have an other opinion than your and that our tastes are almost the opposite of each other isn't anything new.
I do accept your opinion, it's okay, if you think Shana III was bad, but not everything, that doesn't fit your opinion is pathetic shit.

Lol, now that's hilarious. It doesn't fit YOUR opinion, so the announcement of a new book has to mean, the author thinks like you and dislikes his own work.

We can argue as mach as you want, I enjoyed the third season way more than the first and the second one and I was only rarely thrilled by an anime like that. You told me often enough, how shitty Shana III is in your opinion. There's no reason to harp about it like that every time.
I got it, but I won't adopt it, because it's inapplicable for me.


@minecrawler
Don't you think it's a huge contradiction, if you state by yourself, you liked it but you were dissapointed, that it moved so far away from the original storyline, but now you like tyl1er's post, who is entiteling the anime as pathetic shit for other reasons?

Quote:

I neither said that I don't like it nor that I like it.

Still, it's a contradiction to like a post, which entitles the show as pathetic shit, if you neither liked or disliked it, but okay, fuck it.

I neither said that I don't like it nor that I like it. There were some good parts, there were some boring scenes.
The first eps of III were kinda strange, the dialog scenes were annoying (but at least informative), but there were some good fights and the last few eps were ok.
That's what I think.

Some animes there are not such disappointing :| I'm still wondering how do they do this ranking... do they give a poll or just decide it by themselves?
