I haven't watched any bad anime that came out this year so far, most are either average or good, none that necessarily makes my teeth grind in awfulness.

TOP 3 WORST OF 2012 (1 per season)
1. Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan
2. New Prince of Tennis
3. Arcana Famigilia

Oh, no..I mean, if it's from spring-summer season that would be awesome, but it can be a bit older or from past years.
hahaha yeah, I really want to make him suffer a bit :P

So far, the worst I've seen was Symphogear, there were some others that were pretty bad, but Symphogear was just so damn bad, none can compare...

It's a tie between "Recorder to Randoseru" and "Chitose Get You!!". They were both horrible.

Sword Art Online.
Chitose Get You!
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

Acchi Kocchi
Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan
Campione!
Sengoku Collection

These were/are all horrible.

I don't have a worst yet, and I might not since they're not all that bad. The weakest of the series I'm watching so far would go to La storia della Arcana Famiglia, however.

Anything that breaks the boobs-to-hero ratio probably lacks substance in the plot department and gets injected in said boobs.

Example:
Majikoi Oh! Samurai Girls

Angel beats really?... one of the best in my opinion. and alot of other people agree too but I guess we all have our tastes...moving on...I have to say Upotte. It was just not for me. I recently dropped Campione ..idk its just felt to stupid as well it bridged on hentai for me

Shiawase no Pan!!!! was the worst!!
and i was all like please shoot the hell out of me!!!!!!!!!!
it really sucked big time

I personally don't think it was horrible, it did try to do too much to appeal to multiple people though. That isn't a bad thing but usually it isn't a good thing either.

Anyway, I can't think of any yet that are bad. Also the title is misleading, it makes one think you (the OP) means anime from THIS year only (and so far, at that), instead of this year and the more recent past years.

Zetman. Definitely Zetman.



Well, that's like your opinion.

I liked my throwback to 80s/90s Girls in Power Armor.



Still want a season 2 though.

Yes, it is my opinion, I never said it was a fact....

When I saw Campione and then Symphogear on here, I nearly had a rage attack. I had to calm myself and remind myself that it is simply their opinions before posting as they are among my favorite animes. But just to clairfy, Campione is nowhere near hentai territory. Clearly, someone hasn't watched some hardcore ecchi anime to be even say that.

Also, Ebiten isn't a harem. I've actually seen it so trust me on this. I didn't even know the guy was even a guy until I looked it up and I've only seen one Yaoi fangirl in the series. Although it really has nothing going for it except fanservice.

As for Sword Art Online, it's the most popular series this season so, I wouldn't recommend watching that if you're looking for a really horrible anime.



I agree with in that it was boring. I wouldn't say it's the worst I've seen but definitely among my most disliked, so don't let those who say you have no good taste in anime because you don't like something they love influence you. Everyone has different tastes.



Anyway, the worst for me this year is Shining Hearts. That's definitely equal to watching the horrors of a yaoi anime.
