So Bad It's Good/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

== General ==

* ''[[Speed Racer (Anime)|Speed Racer]]''. Featuring some of the crudest animation possible, the show is filled with so many plot holes, you just can't help it to smile the whole time watching it. The theme song is an [[Ear Worm]] to boost. The characters, while having odd names, are actually pretty enjoyable. [[The Scrappy|EXCEPT FOR SPRITLE]].

* The 3-episode [[OVA]] ''[[ICE]]'' is thoroughly amateurish, prone to every possible [[Girls Love|Girls]]/BoysLove and [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]/[[Mundane Made Awesome|Awesome]] cliche out there, has the weirdest main heroine's voice in anime history, and is generally so incoherent story-wise that you can't just drop watching it. And when you are done, you'll write a five page review [[Bile Fascination|telling the world how bad the OVA is]].* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie Pyramid of Light (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie Pyramid of Light]]'' could be considered one of the worst anime movies ever pumped out by [[~~Four Kids~~ Entertainment|4Kids]], for taking the bad plots, dialog, voice acting, and [[Product Placement]] leaps and bounds farther than even ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' has managed to do. There are reasons, though, that some find the movie so hilariously bad that it was entertaining: the entire lack of explanation as to why anything was happening, or why Yami was suddenly able to summon a gigantic glowy dragon, plus the random [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting|kung fu fights]] with mummies led to [[Narm|much inappropriately-timed laughter]]. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9-3mzm9MEw Abridged Version] sums it up: "I can't help but feel as if it was some sort of cheap cash-in made to promote a bunch of cards." Japan got a novelization and some extra scenes that explained more of the plot (which helped little to none at all.)

** Plus, the movie gave us the immortal line, ''"But even eternity doesn't last forever."''

** [[Dan Green|In the dub]] Yugi, while screaming in horror, suddently has a virile but incredibly funny voice for about 5 seconds ("[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jov86ufPL5M TALK LATER, RUN NOW!]").

Line 33:

* The sexual content in the ''[[Zeorymer]]'' manga is so [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|random]] and [[Coitus Ensues|clumsy]] that one can't help but laugh. Notable examples include the title robot's IUD power source, the [[An Ice Person|icicle rape]] scene, and an abrupt shot of female lead Miku's elderly adopted father giving her oral sex. To make things even funnier, despite Miku having a teenage body while clothed, she often [[Off-Model|suddenly has little girl's body]] while nude.

* The one shot manga ''[[Kuso Miso Technique (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.

People have given it Perfect Scores and written reviews of how much they enjoyed it.

* ''[[Guilty Crown]]'': A new work from [[Production IG]], directed by [[Death Note (Manga)|Tetsuro Araki ]], written by [[Macross Frontier|Hiroyuki Yoshino]] with help from [[Code Geass|Ichiro Okouchi]], music composed by [[Supercell]] and character designs by redjuice?! What could possibly go wrong? Everything. The phenomenal animation and music failed to cover up the unlikeable, inconsistent characters that lacked interesting motivations and the constant [[Cliché Storm]] with an ending that answered absolutely nothing. Nonetheless, a lot of people were glued to the screen when it aired, despite the constant bashing.

* ''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 62:

* The version of Yuzurenai Negai used in the Latin American dub of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' has this quality. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IRCa0TJC0 original song] is pretty, but for the dub they inexplicably choose male singers with deep voices, and that's before we talk of the changes on the lyrics. It's known among the fans as "the mariachi version'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kV-STGlPwo and you can see why].

* To those who didn't grow up with it, the Philippines English dub of ''[[Voltes V]]'' almost sounds like a [[Gag Dub]]. The actors sound unmotivated and their accents render some sentences incomprehensible. They also [[Dub Name Change|changed]] Kenichi's name to the [[Inherently Funny Words|inherently funny]] Steve and Daijiro's to the ''[[Sesame Street (TV)|Sesame Street]]''-esque "Big Bert".

* Normally ''[[Pilot Candidate]]'' would be unwatchably dull, but the English dub makes it highly entertaining. [[The Hero]] sounds like [[Woody Allen]], [[The Smart Guy]] has a [[Canada, Eh?|stereotypical Canadian accent]], [[The Rival]] sounds like he's voiced by someone who doesn't normally act, and if the credits are to be believed, [[Cross Dressing Voices|most of the women were voiced by]] [[Michael McConnohie]] doing his best [[Family Guy|Lois Griffin]] impression.

* The ''[[Guin Saga (Light Novel)|Guin Saga]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmEESOXQJso English dub] is ''so'' full of this. Taking advantage of it being a [[Cliché Storm]], the characters either [[Large Ham|overreact]] or [[Dull Surprise|underreact]] in the non-action scenes, sadly, however, it caused plenty of [[Hate Dumb]].

** It could possibly go to [[Gag Dub]] territory, as there's even a man who suspiciously sounds like [[Droopy]].

Line 78:

* 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" -- which starts with a sample of the Beatles' "I am the Walrus" and a hyper-enthusiastic American accented MC, and keeps getting weirder,

* 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 [[~~Four Kids~~ Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub of ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''. "Yo ho ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum!"

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OrMqQP_oDk opening theme] to the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub of ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''. "Yo ho ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum!"

** That sounds like something out of ''[[Night At the Museum (Film)|Night At the Museum]]''.

* Intentionally "so bad it's awesome", [[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'s Konata's karaoke of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9k0yl8Atk&feature=related Dragon Ball Z theme.]
