Line 16:
* ''[[Chargeman Ken]]'' really must be seen to be believed. It would have been long forgotten had it not been for one person uploading it on [[Nico Nico Douga]], and the nonsensical [[Narm]] has underwent [[Memetic Mutation]] since.
** A lot of shows produced by Knack is this (check out ''Dame Oyaji'' if you have a chance). It's amazing that they managed to churn out a few series that were actually successful.
* ''Diatron-5'' (a.k.a. ''[[Space Transformers]]''), a Korea-produced anime, has [[Off-Model]] animation, a hero who sounds like both a 25-and-8-year-old (if you're going to leave his [[Non Dubbed Grunts|grunts undubbed]], it might help if his original voice matches the dub voice...), the grandest case of [[You Fail Biology Forever]] (Ivy, the "world's most talented girl", has a ''goddamn galaxy'' in her body, which is what the heroes have to be injected into...and no blood either, since they didn't drown after injection), a plot that starts off incoherent and [[It Got Worse|gets worse from there]]...Gods. The clincher is the voice
* The ''[[Gundam]]'' offshoot ''Doozy Bots'' would more than likely have been [[So Bad It's Good]] had it aired. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e8um1N78AhY See the promo video here.]
* ''A.D. Police'', a bastard offshoot of [[Bubblegum Crisis]], which focused on a super-cliched team of police who specialize in combating berserk Boomers (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.
* The anime adaptation of ''[[Violinist of Hameln|The Violinist Of Hameln]]'' was an attempt to make the the plot of the manga, a comedy that parodied similar [[Shounen]] series (albeit with a dark and serious [[Myth Arc|overarching plot]], resulting in strong [[Mood Whiplash]] every time something important happened), [[Darker and Edgier]] by removing almost all of the comedy. <s>Un</s>fortunately, they had almost no budget to work with (rumor has it that they spent most of it on the rights to Hamel and Raiel's classical music), meaning that the writing was incredibly shoddy and they didn't have enough money to actually animate most of it, making 90% of the anime a sort of slide show of [[Pastel-Chalked Freeze-Frame|Pastel Chalked Freeze Frames]] with <s>[[Wangst|endless whining]]</s> voice acting on top. In the end, it was cut off at 26 episodes (as opposed to a planned 31) due to poor ratings and ended up with an incredibly unsatisfying [[Downer Ending|Downer]] [[Gecko Ending]]. The anime still manages to be popular today because it's so [[Narm
* ''[[Fourteen]]'' is a horror manga about the mad mutated chicken professor Chicken George. It's probably the narmiest work of fiction ever. And you won't be able to stop reading.
* ''Hoshi no ko Polon'' (''Starchild Polon''), like ''[[Chargeman Ken]]'' above, has also gone through (albeit minor) [[Memetic Mutation]] on [[Nico Nico Douga]]. 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.
* ''[[Star Blazers]]'' gets this in the first season for its use of cliched plots, lack of action in the space battles,<ref>
* ''[[Super Atragon]]'' gets the nod here for:
** Bad translations such as referring to naval gun shells as "missiles" and substituting "Fire" commands for "ENGAGE".
Line 30:
*** [[Big Bad|Avatar]], who gave us a shrill and grossly overused [[Evil Laugh]]
*** The Scientist, who had an inexplicable German-ish accent
** An overload of [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]] that included a self-leveling bridge, a [[Star Trek]]-like force-shield, rocket-powered anchors, and the
** However, it did have a very kickin' and epic soundtrack.
* The sexual content in the ''[[Zeorymer]]'' manga is so [[
* The one shot manga ''[[Kuso Miso Technique]]'', the plot is simple as is the artwork. The characters are vague and... special but there's something wonderful about it.
* ''[[Mars Of Destruction]]'' a short tie in to an [[Adaptation Displacement|obscure dating game]] universally has some of the lowest ratings on almost any major Anime Site ([[Anime News Network]], [[My Anime List]], etc) but many will deem it to be so bad it's good with its obvious [[Shout-Out]]'s to ''[[Evangelion]]'' 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.
* ''[[Guilty Crown]]'': A new work from [[Production I.G]], directed by [[Death Note|Tetsuro Araki
* ''I-zenborg'', a mix of anime and [[Tokusatsu]] from the late 70's. First, the villain is a talking T-Rex, which tries to take over the [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe|world]]. Add to that the [[Off-Model|no budget animation]], laughably bad live SFX, backgrounds made from photographs that never match the perspective the characters are drawn and [[Idiot Plot|ridiculous storylines]] with cringe inducing dialogue. To top it off, each [[Monster of the Week]] will meet a gruesome end, usually getting some limbs hacked off by the eponymous [[Mecha]]'s saw blades. In short, it's hilarious!
Line 45:
* Most of the 1970s dubs of most any anime can easily fall under this. From the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALzDcMDhf2o old dub of] ''[[Speed Racer]]'', to the ''[[Getter Robo]] G'' dub known as ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGPNDvkcaiw Starvengers]''. Even the utterly horrid dubbed form of the ''[[Tekkaman Blade]]'' precursor known as ''Space Knight [[Tekkaman]]'' makes it here because the dubbers decided to ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MURDGxx7FJo explain everything.]''
** If one of the comments in genuine, it appears [[Word of God|William Winckler, one of the writers for the Tekkaman dub]], even thinks it's crazy and loves that people still find it entertaining.
* The AB Group's ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'' movie dubs, also known as the [[Fan Nickname|Big Green Dub]]<ref>
** The Malaysian dub [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oToKxemiv4 also counts]
** Even though it's debatable on if it counts, The Boys and Girls Club dub. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3668ixQfHDA It has to be seen to be believed]
Line 75:
== Music ==
* Some of the original songs for ''Pocket Monsters'' (the original Japanese version of ''Pokemon'') have an endearing sort of awfulness. For an epitomizing example, look no further than [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1viB7RMus "Pokemon ieru kana?"] ("Can you say the Pokemon['s names]?") -- the basis for the "Pokerap"
* The dub opening for ''Cardcaptors''. "The secrets of the Clow - were all a mystery~! But when this mighty book was opened, the powers were set free! CARDCAPTORS - a mystic adventure! CARDCAPTORS - a quest for all time!" Um... yeah.
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OrMqQP_oDk opening theme] to the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub of ''[[One Piece]]''. "Yo ho ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum!"
