this is ashley with watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10
worst anime of 2020
for this list we'll be going over the
most disastrous excuses for anime to
come out of this year
whether they were stupid lazy insulting
or just left us bored out of our skulls
they're all here fair warning they're
bad
really bad as in have us worried for the
future of the industry bad
unless of course these are some of your
favorites in which case feel free to
rage in the comments below
and as always you can catch me on
twitter at jbow
so head over there give me a follow and
let me know which anime list you want to
see next
number 10 hatena illusion maybe this one
should do us a favor and perform a
disappearing act on itself
then we wouldn't have to deal with such
a boring unforgettable slogan
[Music]
as you can guess this story about
childhood friends reuniting
and becoming magicians has zero magic to
its name
everything falls flat including its lead
duo
whose comedic and romantic chemistry is
non-existent
made all the worse by how much of a slow
bin the whole thing is
why couldn't we have had more magical
senpai instead
[Music]
yep it's another adaptation of an
android game
and wouldn't you know it it too fell
into the spike pit of mediocrity
repeatedly
you honestly can't get more generic than
this two kingdoms at war
one light one dark a tragic hero
promises to change his kingdom for the
better
falls in love with someone on the
opposing side whose
personality consists of differing shades
of
wallpaper
[Music]
we've had our fair share of subpar romeo
and juliet style anime this year
but this one is beneath them all number
eight
kingsrade successors of the will it may
not be offensive but it sure as hell
isn't doing anything to push itself
beyond its tropes
[Music]
once again we find ourselves with a
substandard fancy outing
one that isn't only lacking any bite
with its fight scenes
but also has no subtlety when it comes
to its characters and politics
humans hate elves elves hate humans
evil people working behind the scenes
lackluster dude bro has to rise up
to be the knight he knows he can be etc
maybe if it had any charm or wit it
could have taken these stale
beats and made them enjoyable but as it
stands this
is one to skip number seven
dragon's dogma we have a love-hate
relationship with netflix's anime scene
these days
on the one hand it continues to surprise
us with some truly premium
outings like akretsiko devilman crybaby
violet evergarden
and the great pretender then it gives us
disappointments like
this
there was so much hype going into this
after what they accomplished with other
anime
and the results laughable
[Music]
the game has so much potential for giant
conflicts with its monsters
and its lore and yet all you're going to
get from this is a
fleeting memory of that one side quest
only with
wayward animation
number six real romanesque what is it
with trains and terrible anime
rail wars was bad enough but now we have
actual trains being turned into young
girls
[Music]
[Applause]
while we've seen this kind of thing done
several times over
the fact each episode is three minutes
barely does anything to develop
its large cast and there's the apparent
potential for it to become a harem
starring some random older guy
yeah we're putting this one on readily
we'd say it's a waste of time but
there's so little content here that
you'll barely even register that you've
even watched anything
number five super h eros at long last
power rangers and hardcore erotica
together
said no one ever
we all love a fan service show every now
and then especially when it's
light-hearted enough to poke fun at
itself
but this this plays it so seriously that
it's borderline jarring
yet it still landed itself with the
crisp and vibrant visuals
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it's about a stoic lead using the
lewdness of his mini hurom to defeat
aliens who feed on erotic energy while
juggling a will they won't they romance
but how the hell did it land such a high
budget
number four listeners this had the
potential to be so much more
the components were all there we even
had a giant mecca
paired with rock and roll this should
have been a slam dunk
and yet it turned out to be one of the
most misguided misfires of the year
[Applause]
[Music]
maybe in the right hands these
placeholder characters spouting
out random lyrics while getting bogged
down in cliche after cliche could have
worked
alas the dismal and depressing art style
paired with the lack of direction
when it comes to its thinly veiled music
is good narrative
keeps it from reaching any manner of
height
number three ninja collection was this a
dare
because on every level this thing fails
as an anime there's barely enough here
to qualify as
anything more than a collection of
poorly rendered still shots
that run at one frame per second as a
horror you'd get more fright from just
jumping out and yelling boo
as a collection of ninja don't ask us
the bastards barely even show up outside
of the trailer
this is essentially a bunch of
four-minute stand-alone stories that
don't scare
look horrendous and make us question
what exactly these studios consider
quality these days
[Music]
number two the island of giant insects
movie
remember that ova adapted from a story
involving giant bugs killing
and impregnating a bunch of unlikable
human castaways
yeah it got a movie adaptation
over an hour of watching poorly crafted
cgi insects
fly around trying to have their way with
a bunch of caricatures
whose only purpose seems to be to either
aggravators
flaunt what they've got or sieve as
fodder
while thankfully lacking the more
disturbing elements from the source
material
there's still plenty here to hate
we can go another lifetime without
having to watch busty gills be covered
in larvae thank you

chibaite how did this happen
[Music]
there was so much talent put into this
project that it should have been
monumental in scope
but now we have fans calling it the
second coming
of mars of destruction let that sink in
every aspect of this series is atrocious
from the mismatched animation of its
monsters all the way to the terrible way
it introduces
and rapidly disposes of its cast you
have a samurai and a ninja who traveled
into a future
overrun by a plague that turns people
into creatures
yet the result is obnoxiously boring and
cringe-worthy from start to finish
no joke this has the potential to be the
worst of the decade
