History Horrible / AnimeAndManga

Ignore for a few moments the great SubbingVersusDubbing debate among the anime fandom. There are certain shows or works in that medium that fail on their own merits and prove that being DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible is not exclusive to any one side of the Pacific. You know it's bad when even fans looking for a QuirkyWork exclaim "WTF?!?!?" after viewing.

* The {{yaoi|Genre}} manga '''''Dog Catalogue''''' has ridiculously {{flat character}}s who receive absolutely no attempts at development, a frightfully generic storyline, and [[https://i.imgur.com/VonvU.jpg some of the worst art put to paper]]. Every page is an artist's nightmare - the characters look like someone partially deflated their heads and used the air to inflate their hands. A perfect example of how deep in the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley Uncanny Valley]] the stereotypical yaoi art style can go.

** The manga '''''Nobunaga-sensei's Child Bride''''' and the anime adaptation of its first half. If the title didn't already give a vague idea of what watchers were in for, what little plot there is revolves around a dorky schoolteacher who is the descendant of UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga. He has the ability to resurrect certain members of his ancestor's harem by touching objects they once owned, as well as temporarily awaken the spirits of others through physical contact with their human hosts. All of them, be they resurrected or possessed, want to marry him and are 14 at the oldest. This leads to 12 deeply uncomfortable episodes of barely-teenage girls trying to seduce an adult man. And for those few who can get past that, the hideous art style, atrocious animation, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking obsession with the horribly animated nipples of the only adult female in the cast]] that render everything the least sexy it can possibly be will certainly turn you off. Add to that a wholly disgusting scene where the (straight) male protagonist is gaslit into almost having sex with a male student, as well as bigoted claims about transgender people and transvestism (in short, it flat out states that such people ''[[EskimosArentReal don't exist outside of straight male fantasies]]''), and you have a FetishRetardant garbage fire of an anime. Perhaps the only saving grace of this anime is the fact that each episode is only nine minutes long. Ki no Shirayuki of Blog/DasSporking takes a spork to it episode-by-episode [[https://das-sporking2.dreamwidth.org/1594624.html here]] and [=pan2000=] gives a more concise review [[https://pan2000.dreamwidth.org/2089.html here.]]

# To ensure that the work is judged with a clear mind and the hatred isn't just a knee-jerk reaction, '''[[Administrivia/NoRecentExamplesPlease examples should not be added until at least one month since release]]'''. This includes "sneaking" the entries onto the pages ahead of time by adding them and then just commenting them out.

* '''''VisualNovel/AseliaTheEternalTheSpiritOfEternitySword''''' is a great visual novel, but its OVA adaptation... not so much. The plot is nothing like that of the game, the pacing is ''horrible'', the animation is below average, the background music is copypasted from the game, and the characters have almost no resemblance to their video game counterparts. It's as if the staff made this on a lunch break. Thankfully, it's only two episodes long. This was the last anime directed by Naoto Hashimoto, who doesn't have a lot of anime directorial credits to his name (only helming the first 13 episodes of ''Pygmailo'', one of the Touch Movies, and the ''Guyver II'' OVA).
