I don't remember if it was on Earth, if humans had gone to an alien planet, or anything about the show. Everyone bitching about the worst show they've ever seen in this thread has no room to talk in comparison to Yukikaze. As much as I hate SAO, or didn't like Lucky Star, those shows at least had a clear intention behind them.

True Tears
I can't count the number of times I wanted to punch the MC in the face for being a little bitch crying about complete non issues, neither of the love interests had anything going for them, and half the adults in the show acted like their sole purpose was to make life miserable for the teenagers in their family. It was like the show was written by a spoiled teen for spoiled teens.
Runner up: Diaes Isrie (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong). Here was a show that tried to cram a VN worth of material into a 12 episode season, dragged its feet for the first 8 or so episodes, and ran out of budget at episode 11. At least I'm assuming that's what happened since the show pulled a Berserk. The plot was nonsensical, the villain's motivation was stupid, and the direction toward the latter half of the series became so spastic that it was often difficult, if not impossible, to understand what was going on. The only reasons it doesn't share the top spot with True Tears are because at least it had some interesting fight scenes and some hot girls.

It's just a show trying to take the piss out of the generic isekai shit that's been so popular in the last few years. The character interactions are amusing and the events that transpire in every arc are funnier to watch than if the show had actually tried to be generic adventure comedy #1213547412. One of the few comedy shows I've ever seen that actually had me laughing out loud at least once.

The writer should just kill her off in a comedic manner. Everything that happens in the series would have been more fun with Aqua left out and it just being the MC, Megumin and Lalatina with maybe the exception of the part where they were chased out of town by her cult.

I don't really see how it's another generic isekai though; the MC isn't some sort of unbeatable god who everyone falls in love with, he doesn't get everything he wants in very convenient ways, he doesn't have a harem. Hell, the party he's in is kind of meant to be a parody of the generic anime harem (energetic loli, big-breasted slut and annoying cunt).
But I suppose you could say that it's more of a regular comedy show that happens to have an isekai setting than a real isekai show since there is little world exploration. But I personally like how they just stay in the first town to hang out and it is made clear from the start that the whole thing about the Demon King isn't going to be taken serious by the writer anyway.

I agree with you on Tamako Market, that was an unredeemable piece of shit (the forced tranny character was also kind of weird) but The Order is a Rabbit is one of my favourite shows for being so heartwarming, having an interesting visual setting (European-styled town based on an actual place on the border of France and Germany), being one of the few SOL shows that I actually thought was funny unlike similar series like Yuru Yuri which I did very much enjoy but not for its comedic aspect and serveral other reasons.
I'll admit that some of the characters act retarded like Cocoa but I felt that it was done well in this show and the retardation was often light-hearted in nature and not full-on "I'm a teenager but act like a 5 year old".
>>3515
>I liked K-on, even though I've heard people say nothing but bad things about it
Really? I keep hearing things like this from K-On fanboys but I've literally never seen anyone online write anything negative about it, it almost only gets praise. I had a really hard time getting through the first few episodes and I started hating it at first and in the end I just thought it was a bit mediocre but watchable. It's not my fault that everyone kept claiming that it's a SOL/moe show when in fact it's just a coming of age story which happens to have cute girls in it which gave me wrong expectations for it. Also, Yui was so fucking annoying that had she not been in the show and it had just focused on the friendship between Mio and Ritsu I would have enjoyed it all the way through.
Yui is truly a good example of the retard trope done wrong, I've heard people say that the characters in K-On are supposed to be more realistic compared to those of other anime but there's no fucking way a girl her age acting like that isn't LITERALLY retarded.
I didn't like Yuyushiki either, it's one of the worst shows in its genre because the characters are too similar to 3DPD and it mainly focuses on the "xd so wacky" crowd. I hated how that kept getting shilled on /a/ back when I posted there.

No.3535
>>3525
I will concede that despite my dislike for the characters of Is the Order a Rabbit, the aesthetic of the show is very relaxing, warm and comfy. I did manage to finish the series, and I think that had a big part in making it bearable. The artstyle, like you said, is very distinct and pleasing with a great western European charm, especially in the exterior architecture of the buildings and even the interiors have that wood grain artisan type of feeling. In my hasty judgment of the show based on the character metrics and "plot" alone, I kind of forgot how soft and nice everything looks. I will also admit that the show is technically "heartwarming", but at the same time I have to say the reason you like the show is the reason I hate it. You would call it a heart warming pure romp, and I would call it sickly sweet pandering garbage geared towards a very specific crowd.
As for K-on, maybe I was too emotional and hasty in calling it a commonly hated show. The common reaction is the one that you offer; hovering around average, maybe a little bit below. I don't think it's high art or anything, and I'm probably biased because it was one the first slice of life/coming of age anime I watched the whole way through. I also agree that Yui is not a good or enjoyable character, and they definitely took the retarded=cute thing too far. I'm also glad to see that you are a man of relative taste, as your post suggests you like Mio and Ritsu the most.

No.4257
>>4255
So you didn't watch that video.
At the start of it he goes in detail about how a game like SAO would actually be a boirng piece of shit and unfair to play in terms of gameplay and also how certain events that lead to the deaths of lots of unnamed players in the show make no sense at all.
I honestly recommend you to watch it after all or otherwise I'd just have to watch it again and quote parts from it literally.
Anyway, "trapped in a game and forced to compete in a death game" is a cool concept but you could say that about any show that's bad but might have somewhat of an interesting idea it was based on. For example: >>4231 mentioned Mars of Destruction which is about fighting off an invasion of aliens from Mars, isn't that a cool concept as well? Still, the anime itself is absolute garbage because a concept alone doesn't make anything good.
Also, you don't seem to realise that SAO wasn't the first anime who did the death game thing or the "trapped inside a videogame" thing. Never heard of the .hack// series?
No.4266

Just figured I might mention that .hack, at least the original R:1 series, has the whole "trapped in a game" thing on a much smaller scale, only affecting the protagonist of Sign (Tsukasa) in the "trapped but actively able to adventure" sense, while other characters like Orca and Sora that get their consciousness caught by Morganna or the phases** get get coma-ed and aren't even registered as logged in (as if their minds are simply lost within the network as opposed to bonded with the character). R:2 has similar, but within Vol 2 of the games does play with the idea of mass active trapping, though it gets resolved quickly enough, resulting in a handful of very worried, angry players when they can log out, and a lot of other players that were logged in at the time (and the administration) accusing them of lying on the internet, or hallucinating it.
Actually makes me wonder which is the more interesting usage: Many/all characters being trapped for [X] amount of time (and if killed, their consciousness is lost within the system, perhaps indefinitely), or a single player winding up in that state, without much in the way of help, let alone people that would believe such a thing (and likely not going to put the effort in to get proof; took Bear getting concerned to due to make the effort and find Tsukasa's player had been logged in over ten days straight).
No.4275
>>4266
What about a third option: the MC is trapped inside a game without knowledge of any other players being there and only much later in the show does he meet people who had to deal with the same fate as him.
What could make this more interesting is if the characters who are all from the real world were not even aware at first that they're all fellow players and think they're still dealing with NPCs only later realising that they're fellow humans/players, this because the NPCs would just think you're insane for claiming the world you're in isn't real similar to how people in the actual real world would react to hearing something like that and they don't want to risk losing the connections they made so far over claims of insanity.

>i don't like thing therefore it is objectively bad
You do realise that I was trying to give examples of why the show is actually bad and I didn't just say I didn't like certain things? You don't have shit taste, you're just outright ignoring aspects of the show because you want to seem contrarian.
>there are plenty of action shows which are poorly animated
Never did I say SAO was poorly animated.
>and loaded with deus ex machina instead of actual plot and yet no one writes walls of text about how terrible it was
First of all, everything that has retarded writing that makes no sense while attract criticism like that because it's fun to tell retards that their show is OBJECTIVELY bad in terms of writing. Secondly, are you seriously complaining about me writing a lot of text because your shitty attention span can't deal with it? Fuck off to cuckchan or facebook, that might be more your speed.

>Fucked up spoilers a bit.
Welp. I blame it being early in the morning and me being tired.
Also on that note, I do feel like there's a distinction to be made: Tsukasa aside (only looking at main R:1/R:2 canon), the protagonists are never trapped in the game themselves in a non "Lost One" sense, other than Haseo's brief bout with the AIDA Server, thus the goal in .hack isn't so much to survive to beat the game and escape, but rather to purge the game and save everyone else, before everyone that can actually do something gets caught themselves. Contrast with the "everybody's trapped" phenomena a number of other "buggy/malicious VR MMO" series tend towards.
>What about a third option: the MC is trapped inside a game without knowledge of any other players being there and only much later in the show does he meet people who had to deal with the same fate as him.
I think there was a fucking Neopets PHP RPG that had a plot like that, mostly the protagonist realizing the truth down the line, both of the world they were in and that the other characters are NPCs, and the few other "players" being findable and recruitable.
On that line of thought though, if people were to go into playing a game knowing it to A) be a game and b) have multiplayer (as an MMO is pretty much required to do), how do you convince them otherwise to consider the game the actual world, if only for a while, and that most other inhabitants aren't actually alive as they are? I mean, it's a neat alternate route, but it seems like it might take some doing to actually come up with the reasoning to prompt such a thing. In .hack the players are always aware it's a virtual world (albeit for Tsukasa it might be more real than reality was, given how the series handles flashbacks as greyscale and voiceless), and most NPCs obviously wouldn't give a shit that it's not real because they're not programmed to think that way. The exception being Mia who has a fucking breakdown over similar, being an NPC born to think it was a PC within a virtual world, only to slowly discover that it's the one that doesn't actually exist beyond the game.
>this because the NPCs would just think you're insane for claiming the world you're in isn't real
Unless it's some hyper advanced AI, I think most wouldn't respond to parameters not coded into them to respond to. You don't see NPCs responding to actual custom typed chat in actual MMOs, at least last I checked. There's a reason games tend to have menu systems for interacting with NPCs, and "strategy" tweaking for AI allies (assuming you're not stuck with the default).
I will say that the semi-sentient Vagrant AIs in .hack are an interesting case where scrapped code of dummy characters gaining "personalities" of sorts, and having no purpose, seek termination, and the Net Slums, where such failed code intermingles with hackers (some of which are stated to have given up on their humanity), become an interesting place as a scrapyard. From the player's perspective (as Kite or Haseo), there is little separating what is fucky code that has assembled some meager awareness and intelligence on its own, and a hacked player character that no longer acknowledges reality and/or has gone mad in living within the game. Though it might be worth mentioning that at the same time, being a simulated existence, the player doesn't have full control to interact with them in a way that might distinguish them better, as a sort of experiment.

My problem with the .hack series is that they never establish to the characters in the narrative that they can fucking die. The audience is informed of it, but the characters themselves never get that critical information. And then they proceed to treat everything as seriously as if they did. And they do this even when death isn't on the line. I remember laughing my ass off because Haseo was going around player killing by the dozens, being a total badass, and it was treated as some deep corruption of his soul. It's a fucking video game guys, those people all respawned at town.

There's a reason most Isekai stories are "getting killed, wake up somewhere strange." The point of the stories is how fun and exciting the new world is and how much the MC kicks ass by having standard everyday knowledge. Having them get killed and respawn allows you to completely write out his old life and give no shit about it, because his life is "done." There's nothing to come back to because his body is now a fine red paste in the grill of moving truck with bad brakes. They often even have the world they get sent to act like, or in some cases, literally be a video game. "Wow this is just like that game I autistically play" comes up often. This kind of shit works a lot better for Isekai because in the end it's about how great shit is, and the protagonists don't think about going back.

It's a bland as fuck, standard harem/isekai mix with a ridiculously overpowered MC and a cast of girls that are just barely well developed enough to make them likeable.

He sleeps for a week, eats enough food to feed Africa for a year, and they make their way to another island. Very little variation to that formula.

LN allegedly did some parts better (revival arc has actual arc and not just the dead person returning at the start of the season.)

It's the same dumb, drawn-out trash from which Naruto & its ilk are cut. Logic long-since took a back seat to this story and it's not going to keep up or end well. Dead-honest, MHA was a story that began and ended in all of its relevant points with the pilot chapters and the first few episodes. There's no other relevant substance to the series aside of "muh fav character" and "I'd hoppy her froppy".The villains are a joke, the rivalries moreso, Bakugo makes for a boring foil, All Might & the adults drain a fuckton of the tension out of the plot, and to my knowledge Deku never has faced down what it means to be a "hero".
In all respects, I'd point someone to Fate/Stay Night quicker, as at least the VN does treat the aspect idea of self-sacrifice and reaching for a near-impossible goal with more weight. This goober instead had to pawn off the heavier elements that should be in MHA to a spin-off comic.

(You) have a point. It's easy to bleet out "I HATE THING" as if you were some sheep herded toward a cliff. Individual thought does count. And yeah, the Big Three aren't really the worst out there—the bigger truth, I suspect, is many anons were on that train at one point or another and something the authors did scarred them. Not sure about One Piece particularly given Oda's biggest sin is his shit's drawn out and formulamatic. The other two, however, I personally hate because they went against their philosophy in one, and the other never really had any structured story to begin with, as was quickly displayed by the rehash rescue plot.
As jaded as people may be on those 3, they don't hold a candle to some seriously shit presentations such as many "watching paint dry is more interesting" slice of life bids, or the dozen or so copy-paste harem shows where nothing dynamic happens and the MC really IS a cardboard cutout, not to mention the girls have zero personality or reason to grow as people.
I can't recall the worst I've ever seen—I think it may have been Baki the Grappler. Such a fantastic waste of what could have been a tightly-paced story, shit getting more and more ridiculous as it went on instead of being relatable, and the MC getting less likable as the series progressed.

The thiccfag bait was the most memorable part of Try. It was still a fun show but only because it was riding the coattails of the first season.

I wanted to drop it at ep 4 but my friend insisted it was good
the fact that the only thing they show from beyond the portal is a stereotypical lab made me so goddamn mad
it's a thinly veiled excuse for garbage ecchi with a horrible asspull for an ending

The absolutely only thing remotely interesting or worthwhile from the series was the idea that the deredere girl used to be an abusive evil fuck and was now deredere as penance for her previous behavior. And that concept sure as fuck wasn't worth watching the entire show for.
I watched that show back when I discovered that anime actually had romances that progressed unlike in western media, and then I ended up watching a bunch of harem shows not understanding what they were

You're trying too hard. The primary mechanic in the story is absurd comedy through overwrought or selfish reaction to cliche RPG-esque aesthetics. Kazuma remains a fully-realized character, as do a few of the broken folks in the story. Leaps and bounds more than the shitty "We're after the Ushirou Daimaou bux" copycat you listed. What I didn't say was that they're dynamic characters—I merely debunked your bullshit whining that MC was a self-insert and shouldn't be subject to your own desires just because they're something other than tracing paper for you to wank onto whenever pick-a-girl gets screentime. You don't like that, it's your own damn problem.

Have you read the LNs? Kazuma is a tsukkomi machine in those as well. If you want to vehemently defend a fantasy RPG themed anime, at least have some taste and defend Slayers

I'm honestly glad Nichijou failed. Most of what it did was plagiarise Sven Nordqvists work. The rest is unfunny slapstick humor and unlikable characters. Also absolutely nothing happens in it.

I actually liked Nichijou. But I do like slapstick, and seeing it done in high quality animation was a plus.

looking back on it, rezero wasn't terrible not that I'd ever watch it again or recommend it. the main thing about isekai is you give the hero some strong ability and have all the girls flock to him, yet in rezero the hero has no super power other than failure sends him back in time (they should have used this gimmick a lot more) and no girl loves him just for existing.
that alone puts it a cut above shows like Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni / SAO / Overlord / Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku and the like.

Nichijou's problem is that it has a really narrow target. You need to appreciate that peculiar type of humour and pacing to enjoy it.
I liked it a lot, but I can see why people can hate it.
Also the awfully high prices they sold the DVDs and the earthquake of 2011 didn't help, at all.
I'd watch a second season personally, but I doubt it'll ever come at this point.

The first half of SAO is pretty decent. It just needs to end as the game does. It's set a perfect ending and then doesn't fucking stop.
Worst I ever saw was a CGI one I can't remember the name of now. It was in the last year or two and the CGI frame rate was unwatchable. I just remember it being set in a city with a gun fight in the opening that ran at 12 FPS at most. It was just insane how badly animated it was.
