(Fair warning, I'm going to seem angry and hate-filled in the early parts of this ranking. I swear that I enjoy anime, though! Anything below #241 made me angry. Everything above that has at least something going for it, and eventually I'll seem too happy and forgiving)

DROPPED TIER

270. Gantz
https://myanimelist.net/anime/384/Gantz
Spring 2004 (made it 2/13 episodes, dropped)

Gantz is the worst anime Ive ever seen. It starts with the main characters saving a guy who fell onto train tracks, but then the trains coming. They have a whole conversation about this but not enough time to climb out, apparently. Once it hits them, theyre transported to a room with other recently deceased people whove been chosen to play an alien death game. One girl died in the shower, so she arrives naked. The whole room fights over the privilege of raping her, because of course thats the first thing on their minds after being kidnapped by aliens. Main dude is the only one to resist the temptation of a naked woman but even he only barely holds on. He angrily tells her to get dressed before he loses control, because of course its her fault she got transported by aliens without any clothes on and tempted all these men. I was done with Gantz after that.

269. Inuyashiki: Last Hero
https://myanimelist.net/anime/34542/Inuyashiki
Fall 2017 (made it 3/11 episodes, dropped)

This is about two people who get accidentally blown up by aliens, so the aliens put them back together with incredibly powerful technological bodies. One is an old guy who uses his power for good. The other is a psychopathic teen who immediately goes around randomly murdering people. Inuyashiki is the most miserable anime Ive ever seen. I was done with this when the evil teen killed a father and then used the fathers corpse to drown a toddler in a bathtub. I dont know who wants to see something like that, but it certainly isnt me.

268. Sword Gai: The Animation
https://myanimelist.net/anime/27783/Sword_Gai_The_Animation
Winter 2018 (made it 3/12 episodes, dropped)

Sword Gai was about people who get possessed by swords and have an unsatiable urge to spill blood with them. It was too edgy for me (edgy, get it, sword pun haha). I specifically remember being done with this when one of the sword-possessed people sexually assaulted a girl. Isnt he supposed to want to kill her with the sword? They just wanted to include a sexual assault because thats a lazy way to be edgy and this anime was all about edginess.

267. Miss Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles
https://myanimelist.net/anime/35298/Ramen_Daisuki_Koizumi-san
Winter 2018 (made it 2/12 episodes, dropped)

Miss Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles is food porn. I dont mind that in small doses. In Laid-Back Camp, for example, the focus is on how relaxing it is to eat delicious food while camping and it helps build an aura of calmness. In this anime, the whole point is to watch Miss Koizumi orgasm while she slurps ramen. Thats it. Im pretty sure this was meant to be an advertising tool for a regions ramen shops, so its my fault for watching it in the first place. Winter 2018 was my first season watching airing stuff, I didnt know any better! At least I didnt watch for very long.

266. Restaurant to Another World
https://myanimelist.net/anime/34012/Isekai_Shokudou
Summer 2017 (made it 3/12 episodes, dropped)

This is another food porn anime, but at least Restaurant to Another World pretends to have other stuff too. People in a fantasy world sometimes randomly get transported to a magical restaurant and eat a delicious meal. The three episodes I saw were all the same. First part sets up a super basic situation with fantasy person. Second part is food porn of fantasy person eating. Third part is fantasy person going back home to face their problem, only now theyre satisfied after a good meal. Its nothing but mediocre framing devices to facilitate food porn, and it was super boring.

265. Banana Fish
https://myanimelist.net/anime/36649/Banana_Fish
Summer 2018 (made it 7/24 episodes, dropped)

Banana Fish is about a guy who gets swept up into the underworld. It was very male homoerotic, which I have nothing against, it just isnt my thing. What turned me off most was how much rape there was in this. One guy got raped several times just in the few episodes I saw. It fit tonally I suppose, given how bleak and full of human ugliness the rest of Banana Fish was, but it wasnt fun to see. Eventually I fell so far behind that I decided to drop this. Its too miserable to binge.

264. Eden of the East
https://myanimelist.net/anime/5630/Higashi_no_Eden
Spring 2009 (made it 7/11 episodes, dropped)

I enjoyed the first six episodes of Eden of the East. It was about a guy navigating a real-world game involving money, and he didnt understand any of the rules. Sadly, the seventh episode disgusted me for how it handled the response to a rape victim. Even ignoring how offensive it was, it made no sense and wasnt entertaining. The seventh episode not only made me drop this, it also drove me to take a long break from anime. Now that time has made me less angry about it, I wouldnt mind finishing the last four episodes. It isnt available on streaming anymore, though.

263. Conception
https://myanimelist.net/anime/37823/Conception
Fall 2018 (made it 4/12 episodes, dropped)

This is nothing but fanservice. Generic dude gets isekaid into fantasy world where he needs to make babies with several women. The babies are magic so theres no actual sex, but theres still undressing and moaning. Even if thats your thing, the animation is so awful that it isnt sexy. This is based on a video game Ive never played, but I have played the sequel (hey, I needed something for my Vita). Conception II had one girl with a surprisingly compelling story. Ellie was great, she really got to me. I went into this anime hoping there might be something on that level from the first Conception that would make it worthwhile. All I found was bad fanservice.

262. Urahara
https://myanimelist.net/anime/35250/Urahara
Fall 2017 (made it 3/12 episodes, dropped)

This anime had incredibly low production values. At times the ugliness almost seemed artistic, but mostly it was just bad to look at. Urahara is about three girls fighting goofy aliens who are trying to steal human culture or whatever. Girls fighting things isnt exactly a unique idea in anime. Since the story couldnt elevate the awful production values, theres very little reason to watch Urahara at all. I gave it three episodes to find a way to hook me. It never did.

261. Beatless
https://myanimelist.net/anime/36516/Beatless
Winter 2018 (made it 5/20 episodes, dropped)

I stopped watching Beatless after five episodes because I had absolutely no idea what was going on and I didnt want to put up with it for fifteen more. Its about a generic guy who randomly gets a robot waifu and theyre drawn into some big robot battle royale or something, I dunno. New robots kept showing up with unclear motivations and the low production values meant that even the action scenes were nonsensical and boring. Beatless wouldnt be anywhere near my bottom ten if I bothered to finish it, but twenty episodes was too long for me to want to finish it.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
260: This anime has forgotten everything, including why its so terrible.
259: This anime earned the wrath of the heavens.
258: This anime deserves to get leashed with a chain.

(I'll post these hints each day. My goal was to take some aspect that I could frame as a bad thing. I'm doing 360 of these, they won't all be winners. Feel free to try and guess what they are, but many will be super obvious if you've seen the anime they refer to)

Finally finished making the topic. I'm going to sleep now.
