what your bottom 5 anime say about you

Top 5 lists are old and busted. Bottom 5 lists, now that’s the new hotness. In a nutshell, there are basically four different types of bottom 5 lists:

#1:

Gundam Seed

K-On

Naruto

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

This is clearly The Hater. The Hater hates. What does The Hater hate? The Hater can hate all sorts of different things: popular shows, specific genres, moe, newfags, difficult shows (that they don’t get), praised shows, and so on.

#2

A Certain Magical Index

Akane-iro no Somaru Saka

Akikan

Linebarrels of Iron

Myself;Yourself

This is The Fan That Doesn’t Watch Enough Anime. The Fan That Doesn’t Watch Enough Anime doesn’t watch enough anime. Most of these shows will have come out in the last year or two, and often really aren’t necessarily that terrible. They’re the kind of shows that will be (if not already) forgotten in a few months. In other words, The Fan That Doesn’t Watch Enough Anime doesn’t really have much perspective when it comes to what’s bad.

#3

Garzey’s Wing

Mad Bull 34

MD Geist

Musashi Gun-dou

Queen’s Blade

This is The Guy That Watched All of CPM’s Old Catalog. The Guy That Watched All of CPM’s Old Catalog watches lots of truly bad anime, but these are the kind of bad anime that are so bad that they’re fun to watch. I’d take one episode of Mad Bull 34 over one episode of a decent-but-not-particularly-amazing show like I dunno, Toradora any day of the week.

#4

Eiken

Naruto: Konoha Annual Sports Festival E’s Otherwise

Sister Princess

Tenshi ni Narumon

UFO Princess Valkyrie

Finally, we have The Guy That Watches Way Too Much Shitty Anime. In other words, me. This is my personal bottom 5 anime. Note that these were generally shows that I was forced to watch.
