When we think about Asian animation, we usually think about [[Anime]] and the like. But there's an awful lot of the rest of Asia, with an awful lot of animated series... and [[Sturgeon's Law]] applies to them as much as anything.

{{examples|Examples (more-or-less in alphabetical order):}}
* ''[[Ali Baba and
* ''[[Beauty and Warrior]]'', "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpG1hWQwulA The Worst Anime Ever]," is what happens when you let a financial company make a movie that's not just a commercial. Deplorable dubbing, abysmal animation, and painfully obvious overused [[Stock Footage]]. The plot is boring, incomprehensible, and almost nonexistent. Its most glaring flaw, however, is that it only has [[Only Six Faces|two or three character designs]]. The only difference between the two brothers, for instance, is eye color. The movie's one "saving grace" is that it's only about 50 minutes long. For an in-depth analysis, check out [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/marzgurl/reviews/6634-bandw MarzGurl's review.]
** The camera has a seizure every time a plot twist happens. There's a ''lot'' of random zooming on people's shocked, slack-jawed faces, and those shots are held for a while. It hurts the eyes. Allegedly, random zooming at plot twists is a very common visual trope in Indonesian media, but still!
* ''The King of Tibetan Antelope'' is a 2010 animated series by Shenzen Films. The plot is about a young Tibetan antelope who wonders off to the "Way of the Antelope's Home" with friends after losing his mother. Basically, it's very reminiscient to two greater [[Disney]] features, only substituting ''[[
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP1vQVTT_mM It's DA. NUTSHACK!] ''The Nutshack'' is the first TV show aimed directly at Filipino-Americans. Horrendous characters, embarrassingly-awful animation, terrible voice acting, and a childish approach to...well, ''everything''. It would be horrendous for something on ''[[
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiO5sz6QETY Shen Shou Jing Gang] (also known as Celestial Warriors) is clearly a rip-off of [[Power Rangers|a certain popular show]]. The main hero is the ''yellow'' ranger (though, to be fair, since the show uses [[The Four Gods]], it's obvious that he is meant to be the Yellow Dragon, which is kind of the king of those beasties). He got headache for some bizarre reason. The fat guy is a blue ranger. For some odd reason, he loses quite a lot of weight when he transform into a ranger. The red ranger is a girl with a very annoying [[Catch Phrase]]. Two recurring robot antagonist who called monsters by the kids. It has many voice acting errors such as Lin Chong telling the dog to go away from that little girl by saying "them" even though there's only one dog in the scene and the subtitles say "it"! Have we mentioned the [[Conspicuous CG]] yet? And why haven't its licensing agent notice what it rips-off? [https://web.archive.org/web/20150109031026/http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i675.htm More info.]
* ''[[Space Thunder Kids]]'', an animated movie straight from Korea about the Dark Empire trying to conquer the universe and three children that try to stop them with their [[Humongous Mecha
** Wonder why the characters or robots are never drawn the same, or why the plot makes so little sense? Because the movie was made by copypasting ''eight different movies'', all of them horrible.
** Arguably the only redeeming factor about this movie are the occasional bits of weirdness<ref>
* ''Tales in Mushroom Village'' is a 2010 CG animated series by ''Anhui Lister 3D Animation'' from China. It's filled with [[Petting Zoo People|humanoid animals]] who [[Uncanny Valley|looked too]] [[Nightmare Fuel|scary in anyway]] (the yellow one has a strange resemblance to a Pikachu). The faces are dull and too detailed, as well as sloppy animation, [[Special Effects Failure|unrealistic effects]] (one scene shown even has some gameplay footage of [[The King of Fighters|a King of Fighters]] game for some odd reason), scary movements, and one scene, an unidentified object tossed above the village. The show's licensing agent says that it was a sci-fi series, but existing footage (only one video so far) didn't show any sense of it. The Chinese name (蘑菇村的故事) conflicts with a more popular series starring anthropomorphic mushrooms, who they're way better than the CG show, and even [[The Smurfs]]. [http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTc4Mjk2Njk2.html Have a look on the worst], and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150109025544/http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i618.htm description, and cover]. Don't forget to translate the comments.
* Your eyes will burn from watching any movie from ''Xu You Ji'', a company that Chinese families can supposedly pay $275 to feature their child in a movie. The example linked [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_rE8EFR-Trs here] not only does completely rips off the mecha from ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' and bizarrely use the cast from ''[[Monsters Versus Aliens]]'' as the villains, it also features horrible CG-rendered kid protagonists in [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|plugsuits.]] Moreover, it uses music from ''[[Code Geass]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' in fairly inappropriate times (the music that plays during {{spoiler|Shirley's death scene}} in ''[[Code Geass]]'', for example, is used as the opening song). All in all, the unnerving combination of [[Uncanny Valley]] children and countless copyright violations has attracted much hate across the entire internet and led to demands to shut down the company. [[Gag Sub|Gag subbed]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=OtPA5QcRaSk here].
** Another notorious work from Xu You Ji features a Chinese girl saving her castle by the sea and a unicorn. The villain arrived to the scene to bring evil, but the girl transformed herself into a mermaid to go underwater to find a fairy. About EVERYTHING underwater (and the song [[The Little Mermaid|Under the Sea]]) is stolen with original content like characters, considering that the backgrounds were from [[Finding Nemo]] if you notice the anemone and fish. Why did our poorly-rendered heroine go underwater before stopping the witch? By getting an ultra-realistic fairy and tour across the Great Barrier Reef?
* ''Micro-Commando Diatron-5'' (aka, ''[[Space Transformers]]'') is another South Korean attempt at a mecha anime from [[The Eighties]]. While [[So Bad It's Good]] on a good day, the whole package is just atrocious to sit through. The animation is [[Off-Model]] all the way, with unlikable characters and a completely disjointed [[Random Events Plot]] that doesn't really ''know'' what it's trying to be. The voice acting and sound quality meanwhile are plain horrendous, be it a protagonist whose age seems to change with each scene or the ending "theme song" that sounds more like a grating garage band's failed mixtape. It doesn't help either that this movie also had the ignoble privilege of being incorporated into the mess that's ''[[Space Thunder Kids]]''. Take Bennett the Sage's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_IgoZQEDUQ word for it].
