From the Files of Things I Will Look Back on With Regret

What you are about to read is an experiment.

Mostly though, it's a combination of mental masochism and one man's stupid quest to find the worst of the worst.

Why?

A combination of things, the primary ones being the horrific pull of a flaming car crash and the fact that, as a general rule, I've found many cases of a 'worst ever' list people post are usually far from accurate and in many cases, simply mediocre works.

Plus, there's the certain experience factor that comes from being able to say you've stomached some of the worst of the worst.
...hey, everyone's got their self-destructive sides, mine just happen to be passive forms of low-yield brain damage.

At this point, we're focusing on just trying to find the worst anime ever made, but in the future this may expand this to cover the worst of the worst in film as well, depending how well this first project goes.

With this in mind, and in order to make the widest dredge possible for this, I'm going to need your help.

Come to think of it, maybe 'help' isn't the right word here.

That's right, dear readers, I'm looking to you for suggestions. Throw me your worst and they shall be judged.

...within a few provisions anyway

1) When I say 'bad' I mean BAD. Don't just suggest some popular show you dislike, find me the weapons grade crap that goes below and beneath the bare minimum standard of quality. THEN we can talk.

2) A series is fine to a degree, but there's no way in Hell I'm gonna go through a 100+ episode trudge of Hell unless this thing is really THAT abominable...and if it managed to do well enough to last that many episodes, I doubt it's probably that bad.

3) Some sort of English translation is preferable. Failing that, at least being able to provide any sort of synopsis would be helpful.

4) For the sake of avoiding the easy road (though this may be a future lightning round) let's leave the Korean knock-off animes out of the running for now. Stick to the purely Japanese crimes against humanity (...not those crimes.)

5) No hentai. Not so much out of decency concerns so much as it just makes it way too easy to throw something out there not because it's completely abominable but simply because it's a porn piece and thus made under a different (read: lower) quality standard.
...on second thought, let's amend this. If you're gonna send in a hentai, make sure it's terrible even by hentai standards. A porn is always gonna look like roadkill next to the films of Kurosawa, but when it manages to make Deep Throat look like an Oscar winner, you KNOW you're onto something special.

Now then, let the games begin. Take your best shot and find me something so completely indefensible I can't even find a trace of good to be found in it.
Maybe there will be a prize in it for the one who finds the worst (...beyond the possibility of my having to restrain myself from trying to murder the one who introduced it to me. Yes, I'm expecting the bottom to be THAT bad.)

Feel free to email or post suggestions here.
