I had proposed adding ''Anime/Berserk2016'' because of the widespread criticism of it's bad animation quality and directing, as well as questionable choices with music, sound, etc. I am fully aware that it has actually been pretty popular with a significant proportion of anime watchers; it seems to be a base-breaker that split fans on my part of the web about 50/50. I just think there's such a strong case for considering this a bad work of art that it ought to overcome any objections that too many people like it. Does an anime really have to be so unpopular in order to be considered horrible?

If this page is supposed to be about stuff that is much, \'\'much\'\' worse than \'\'Berserk (2016)\" then the bottom of the barrel is much lower than I realized.

* ''Anime/Berserk2016'': This is one of those rare beasts--an adaptation that manages to take a gorgeously drawn, popular, and critically acclaimed manga like ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' and turn it into one of the ugliest shows on television. A bastard combination of AllCGICartoon and traditional 2D, both styles are executed in a horribly incompetent manner by Studio GEMBA and Millepensee. As Super Eyepatch Wolf muses in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6kVU8uNdic&t=2s analysis]] of what went wrong, director Itagaki Shin is a veteran of the industry but previously specialized in directing silly, RapidFireComedy shows like ''Manga/{{Teekyuu}}'', and had never worked in 3D before. Giving him and these untested studios an epic, long-running, mature {{seinen}} work like ''Berserk'' proved to be disastrous. The characters look like the worst of UncannyValley, the editing of the shots is a confusing mess, and drastic rewrites to the script cut out most of the Black Swordsman Arc and Lost Children Chapter, negatively impacting the development of Guts's character. There isn't just one thing wrong with this show; it's simultaneous catastrophic failure in multiple load-bearing structures. The sound effects for fighting with the Dragon Slayer, for example, are such a cacophony of pot-banging noise that it caused MemeticMutation and turned the death of Collette in the first episode into a hilarious moment of {{Narm}}.
