History SoBadItsGood / AnimeAndManga

* ''Literature/MyInstantDeathAbilityIsSoOverpowered'' might felt terrible, with the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin title itself]] flaunting how much of a BoringInvincibleHero the protagonist is. That being said, the [[DeconstructorFleet deconstructive]] approach to isekai cliches, along with surprising plot twists and elements that defy the common cliche makes it enjoyable to watch.

* Normally ''Manga/PilotCandidate'' would be unwatchably dull, but the English dub makes it highly entertaining. TheHero sounds like Creator/WoodyAllen, TheSmartGuy has a [[CanadaEh stereotypical Canadian accent]], TheRival sounds like he's voiced by someone who doesn't normally act, and if the credits are to be believed, [[CrossdressingVoices most of the women were voiced by]] Creator/MichaelMcConnohie doing his best [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Lois Griffin]] impression.

* ''[[Anime/SpiderRiders "Calling all Spider Riders! Let's Ride!"]]'' preformed by Drake.

* The studio Knack Productions produced many of these (although some of their shows, such as the ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'' anime, were successful). The most infamous example by far is ''Anime/ChargemanKen'', which really must be seen to be believed. It would have been long forgotten had it not been for one person uploading the DVD re-release of it on Website/NicoNicoDouga, and the nonsensical {{narm}} has undergone extreme {{memetic mutation}} since. Two episodes in particular are infamous: one where Ken's sister obsesses over a football-star whose every line has become a CatchPhrase[=/=]meme who begs Ken to show him his "Charging-Go" (episode 4), and another where Ken uses a kidnapped scientist as a human bomb to get rid of some aliens (episode 35). When Creator/DiscotekMedia licensed it, they used [[OurProductSucks its awfulness as a selling point]]

* ''Anime/HoshiNoKoPoron'' (''Star Child Poron''), like ''Anime/ChargemanKen'' above, has also gone through (albeit minor) MemeticMutation on Website/NicoNicoDouga. In addition to its horrid animation and nonsensical storyline (if there's any "story" at all) are the constant use of stock music composed by Jean-Jacques Perrey.

* ''[[Anime/TransformersArmada Transformers: Armada]]'' 's dub: "Stairs? This keeps getting weirder and weirder!", the fight scenes where nobody seems to move, the [[InactionSequence long pauses between responses from characters]], the lack of movement in ''non''-fight scenes... the failure to keep track of which character has which name...

* ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' had a rare Asian English CD featuring an English version of the classic theme song. This rendition of the song makes ''Doraemon'' fans laugh due to the UsefulNotes/{{MIDI}} music and [[IndecipherableLyrics hard-to-decipher lyrics]]. [[https://youtu.be/G8OBAfjTidM "This is nice, paradise..."]]

* ''Manga/IgaNoKabamaru'' received a Greek dub in the 1980s, which was so awful that even Wikipedia can't resist knocking on it.
-->Despite that in Japan there was low popularity, it acquired immense popularity in Greece. One main reason for this was the low quality of English-based dubbing often called "so bad that it's actually good", but it nevertheless impacted the growth of anime in the country.

* ''Anime/MarsOfDestruction'', a short tie in to an [[AdaptationDisplacement obscure dating game]], universally has some of the lowest ratings on almost any major anime site (Website/MyAnimeList, etc). It is even on [[Horrible/AnimeAndManga the other page]]. Despite this, many will deem it to be "so bad it's good" with its obvious {{shout out}}s to ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', horribly stiff animation, virtually no conceivable plot, and bad dialogue. People have given it Perfect Scores and written reviews of how much they enjoyed it. A similar case has occurred with another Creator/IdeaFactory anime, ''Anime/TenkuuDanzaiSkelterHeaven''.

* ''Anime/DragonautTheResonance'' was often affectionately dubbed the feel-good comedy of the year thanks to it's bizarre writing, copious amounts of {{Narm}}, and an absurd plot held together by a metric ton of {{Fanservice}}. You know you're in for something good when the show begins a tragic, horrifying space shuttle accident... followed by the main character ''launching'' out of the falling debris towards the ground like missile with a [[DullSurprise blank, nonchalant expression]].

* ''Anime/AngelCop'': Even when not taking into account its ridiculous and over-the-top profanity-ridden dub, the series as a whole isn't much better. It's filled with buckets of blood, and a stupid plot that shows what could happen if the Jews take over America, and the newly Communist America attempts to take over the world. It's up to Japan to stop them with their awesome technology! Also, the main [[EvilIsSexy sexpot]] villain looks more like a man in drag than anything else. The show is stupid and weird in every way, but that's what makes it such a blast to watch!

* The animation in ''Anime/LostUniverse'' in episode 4 before it was revised for home video. The animation for the first few episodes had been lost in a fire and had to be quickly reconstructed before broadcast. The results are about as bad as you'd expect.

* ''Hoshi no Ko Poron'' (''Star Child Poron''), like ''Anime/ChargemanKen'' above, has also gone through (albeit minor) MemeticMutation on Website/NicoNicoDouga. In addition to its horrid animation and nonsensical storyline (if there's any "story" at all) are the constant use of stock music composed by Jean-Jacques Perrey.

* ''A.D. Police: To Protect and Serve'', a bastard offshoot of ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'', which focused on a super-cliched team of police who specialize in combating berserk Boomers ([[SpellMyNameWithAnS or Voomers, depending on the dub/sub]]). It has some... interesting... animation lapses, and is accidentally hilarious from beginning to end. Given that it is both a cheesy action movie, cheesy police procedural, and a cheesy anime, it becomes a veritable trope goldmine.

* ''Anime/PopeeThePerformer'' is certainly this, due to the combination of the poor animation, nonsensical plots, and a heavy dose of WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids. Though considering all the BlackComedy and gore present in the series, some would argue that it was [[StealthParody intentional]] and that it [[NarmCharm adds to the charm]]. Others would argue [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs that the creators were doing hard drugs]].
