Anime You’ll (Or At Least, I Did) Regret Watching. Part 1 Out of Too Many.

Seeing as how we launched today, we were all told to write a post…and I couldn’t think of anything to write. Then I looked at my clock, 12:52am, and I panicked. WHAT TO WRITE!!!!???

Ah well, can’t be helped. I’ll start with what I do best, rant. But not just rant, I will also give you my piece of opinion as to what anime you wouldn’t want to waste your time on. Because, we all know that there are too many anime and too little time.

That said, let’s start with the top few anime that I regret watching. Of course, do keep in mind this is my opinion. (Though I did ask a few of the other writers to help me come up with this list)

Anime I regret watching #1: Stratos 4

Now…Let me sum this show up to you in an equation.

Girls + Rocket ships + Rocks = Waste of your time.

Yes, I’m not even exaggerating here. That’s basically the whole 13 episodes of it. It’s about a team of girls shooting down comets that are falling down from space so the Earth doesn’t blow up. No, I’m really not kidding. In essence, it’s about rocks. That’s about it. Nothing much. Yet somehow they were able to make a 2 episode OVA sequel out of this, amazing huh?

Maybe you are thinking, they had to have done SOMETHING correct if they were able to make 15 episodes of girls shooting rocks. Well, in that case…the only thing that made this anime fly (no pun intended) is: Cute teenage girls in tight pilot suits. Nothing else.

Anime I regret watching #2: Venus Versus Virus.

The plot itself isn’t very attractive. It’s your very average “demons eating people but you can’t see them” and “girl without power suddenly starts to see them, gets attacked by the demons because she can see them, and gets saved by another girl who seem to know all about the demons” anime. Then there’s the ending, it didn’t wrap up anything or explain anything for that matter. The ending episode also had a HECK load of flash backs and it makes it feel like you were cheated into watching this episode.

The action itself in this anime isn’t well done either. Or rather, if anything, the artwork is bad. There are shots throughout the anime where the characters weren’t to size proportion from where they are standing or just simply twisted and awkward looking. Hail to animation budgets.

Then what’s keeping this anime afloat you ask? My, can’t you tell from the picture? The hope for some HLA (Hot Lesbian Action) of course! And guess what? YOU DON’T GET ANY! It’s a trap! Don’t get lured into thinking that although the anime itself sucks, you might be able to see some hot anime girl on girl action. Because you won’t get it! Don’t get lured in by this trap!

Anime I regret watching #3: Yumeria

In a nutshell, here’s what the plot is based around. Mikuri Tomokazu is your average guy, and on the night of his 16 year old birthday, he dreams of this girl (in ridiculous costume: refer to picture above.) fighting this monster. The girl is over powered by the monster, and when our protagonist rushes up to hold the girl in his arms. Due to some unknown reason, our protagonist can power up the girl by touching them. When he wakes up, turns out the girl who was fighting in his dream is, (Yes, you guessed it correctly) sleeping beside him. It would appear that his dream world is connected with the real word, and those monsters appearing in his dreams are manifestations of the evils in the real world. Then the story goes on, more girl appears and Mikuri goes touch them and power them up, beat them. The lot.

After reading my summary of the story, if it still hasn’t occured to you why you’ll waste your life watching this anime. I’ll sum it up for you. The ecchi-ness in this anime doesn’t happen because of the plot. The plot happens for the ecchi-ness. This anime was made for those who like to see another guy having a wet-dream, basically. The quality of sound, animation and artwork are all bad. The only thing this anime exists is because there are people out there who can’t find decent porn or hentai and have to result in watching an anime guy having a wet dream.

Okay, that’s all for tonight. It’s 2:00am and I think I’ve shat on enough anime for tonight! Until next time!
