Only problem is, you can't <strong>un</strong>watch it. More bad titles: <em>Violence Jack</em>, a title that features dismemberment and rape in a 15-minute span - in the <strong>first episode</strong> - and features a lead character who seems to have inspired nothing except the character design for Gaou Rikiya in <em>Eyeshield 21</em>; <em>Junk Boy</em>, the story of a porn-obsessed jerkoff; and police “comedy” <em>Mad Bull 34</em>, which has the unique twist of being completely unfunny. A famous UK anime fanzine conducted an experiment to see how many beers you had to drink before the latter became watchable. I think they ran out of booze first. And is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how many of the titles mentioned were on the Manga Video label...? <strong>ARE YOU <em>LISTENING,</em> GLEICHER?!</strong> Dude, Badger, seriously: you’ve got to watch Odin just to realise how teeth-itchingly bad it is.

As for 'ShiT' hooray for appropriate acronyms! @korosora and IcyStorm: I watched the first volume of Kiddy Grade before deciding it wasn't for me. After reading around, the plot is supposed to get utterly incomprehensible. Myself;yourself turned me off after one episode, I'm ashamed to say. @IKnight: stay away from Eiken. Seriously. @Hanners: *laughs* yeah, I remember that review. Golgo IS bad but it's so dated (both in terms of having lousy visuals and chauvenistic gar-ness) that I cut it a bit of slack. The mention of mucho pantsu shots reminds me of another hilariously bad effort: Najica Blitz Tactics. The first episode feels like a twenty-minute advert for washing powder...with guns. I nearly died laughing and couldn't watch any more! Wow, thanks for the, um, anti-recs everyone.

What the hell is WRONG with you people?! There is one anime far, far, <strong>FAR WORSE</strong> than all of the titles you've come up with PUT TOGETHER. <strong><em>ODIN!!!</em></strong> What's worse, they even bothered to release a <em>Director's Cut</em> of it!

I probably haven't watched enough anime (or been at enough conventions, drunk), but I can honestly say I've never seen a series with <em>no</em> redeeming features. But then I suppose I let other people guide my tastes to a large extent, and I've never seen anyone seriously recommend <em>Eiken</em>.

In fact, I wrote a rambling bumbling post about how Kiddy Grade turned out. I do not recommend you finish it, but I rated it o.k. nonetheless. Note: I would not recommend it to anyone. Except liddle boys enter puberty. So they can enjoy teh eye-blinding pantsu shots. I would have to agree with you.
