Water Chip? Been There, Done That
I will start off myself.

1.Naruto - This... thing is one of the most overrated crappy anime of all time. There is so much wrong with it, I don't even know where to start. So, I will leave those links here:

2.Bleach - similar issues as Naruto. However, it is a bit better than Naruto.

3.Fairy Tail - this whole anime is one big asspull after asspull. It had potential but turned into fanservice and plot armour all the time.

That is all I can think of, please share your opinions below.
 
Highschool Of The Dead

It doesn't help that I'm a snob when it comes to zombie portrayal but this anime is just absolute dreck. The scenes doesn't make any damn sense, the characters are fucking clueless, they're so stereotypically clichéd that every time one of them displays a trope I cringed, I'm not much for calling shit out as being sexist or anything but the way they portrayed female characters as pretty much just fan service made me deeply uncomfortable.

I never made it past the first episode. I didn't even 'finish' the first episode because everything about it too atrocious. It was torture to watch.

There's a difference between an anime that just isn't for me and one that is just godawful and HOTD is the very bottom of the barrel when it comes to animé. No originality, plot holes, can't even portray the scenes accurately (the first scene where a chick gets attacked by a zombie on the stairs is a prime example of this), the definition of generic characters and fan service that goes too far to the point that it feels sexist.

So I hate it. I hate its very existance. And why? Cause I will forever know that the budget for a zombie anime and a studio that could work on it happened and this is all they could fucking produce. This piece of god damn shit. Fuck HOTD.

And in general I gotta point out that I pretty much don't give any anime that has 'fan service' the time of day. Won't even give them a chance. I wish I could just scream at all these motherfuckers that are behind those decisions that if they want to make porn then JUST GO MAKE FUCKING PORN!!!! Don't ruin something that could be good just cause you're too god damn sexually repressed.

I haven't watched anime in a long time though. I only read One Piece and Attack On Titan manga's. And the only reason I still read One Piece is because I've invested too many hours of my life watching and reading it to just stop. I have to know how it ends. It's not necessarily awful but it is way past its prime and at this point it just feels stagnant. No character development, cheesy over the top fights which doesn't make any sense and just drag on for too long, no drama. Only saving grace for it at this point is its overarching storyline and any allies that the Strawhats are currently teaming up with. At least they got character development and drama to bring to the table. Attack On Titan is still amazing though. Even if it is getting on my nerves with its dumb plot armor.

But the only anime out there that I 'hate' is HOTD. Fan service anime's I just point and laugh at and move on.

HOTD, huh? I cannot say I disagree with you.

It went way over the top with fanservice etc. It had potential to be good, but they fucked up.

In fact, most of the zombie animes are awful with very few exceptions.

The only one, I genuinely enjoyed was gakkou gurashi, because it showed zombies as a threat and traumatazing experience. I recommend it myself.

Shame that zombie genre is so saturated.
 
All of them. Because it's anime.

Well, not strictly true. I hate everything except the vicious manga stuff from the late eighties/early nineties, like Dominion Tank Police and Demon City and muthafuckin' Akira. This kawaii-panty-shot sexually-disturbing shit you people like these days is atrocious.

... You're not talking about this, are you?

Cause I have a strong bias against little schoolgirl anime. To me it just comes across as creepy.
And judging by the images on google... Let's just say it doesn't exactly prove my bias wrong.
Revolting art. "Cutesy" girls. Zany hair colours. Trope-faces. And those eyes... They look creepy to me.

I also watched like a minute of it on youtube. Ew.

Does it start off as total pandering and get serious and grim later or something?

[edit]

I just saw a moment in the 8th episode, as I was skimming through the episodes on youtube to get an idea of the tone of it, where she taped up a note over some words on the wall and she squealed in excitement.
No.
I'm not giving this thing the time of day either.


So yeah, I forgot this kind of anime even existed. I have a strong bias against loli anime too. It just comes across as revolting in how forceful they are in trying to be "cute" and I find it a bit creepy in the way they are glorifying children, it doesn't need pantyshots to be creepy to me, whatever their fixation is on little girls is creepy enough as it is for me to want to stay clear of it.

There is no pandering basically. It is dark with a bit of school life mixed in.

I enjoyed it myself and I think it is just underestimated.
 
Code Geass, seriously FUCK code geass. A stupid fucking mecha anime about an edgy highschooler who starts a large scale rebellion (in secret) all the while doing stupid shit in highschool.

Generic faces that are practically copy pasted from one another, gimmicky trope-expressions, hell even the setting of little """cute""" schoolgirls. And... The fucking eyes... Do Japanese people know what eyes actually look like? All of that would be pandering in my book. It isn't trying to be unique or stand out or be realistic or anything at all. Not trying to have its own art-style that fits with the tone of the story. It is just pandering to what sells (what is watched). It is basically Fallout 4 in that way. Trying to appeal to whatever is currently popular and pander to that consumerbase. Even down to the way that so many scenes are just dream-esque in how bright they are.

And I don't like that when it comes to music. I don't like it when it comes to films. I don't like it when it comes to television shows. I don't like it when it comes to comics. I don't like it when it comes to video games and I do no like it when it comes to anime.

Doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong it. I just don't like it. To me it's like someone sitting behind me poking me in the back of the head going "see, now they're doing it again!" whenever I see something which is obviously just trying to pander to a certain consumer-base cause it is popular or whatever.

A zombie story that intends on being dark and focus on humanity should have characters that reflect that with their personality, persona, art-style and expressions to the goings on around them. And little candy-land schoolgirls squealing in joy over the smallest things and pulling weird copy pasted expressions (cause why not?) does not fit in with that for me. That just scream of pandering because it is popular right now (as far as I know at least).
 
Dragon Super is the worst thing on the planet, it's basically a Linkin Park AMV made by a 12 year old made into an anime.

I can understand that. Cute and vivid colours don't fit with horror and suspense.

Truth to be told, it is only a mask more than anything else, but I see why you are not interested in it.

That said, there isn't much going on in zombie scene. Kamaneri of an iron fortress is just a cheap knock off of attack on titan.

And there aren't any new anime with zombies coming up. So, we can either watch again the ones that are good or just look for something different.

1. I'm just excessively picky with stuff, really. Probably to my own detriment.

2. I've come to terms with that I'm not really going to get the kind of zombie experience I want so I just rip apart anything that comes across my path for fun and move on. I have enough in my backlog to bother with it anyway. You read any zombie books? Cause the Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z and the FEED trilogy are pretty good. I'm probably gonna look for more zombie books if I feel I need that itch scratched rather than turn to films, anime or comics. At least TWD (comic) is still good and Fear The Walking Dead is pretty decent. Too bad that TWD turned to dogshit.

Anyway, enough of that. It's anime thread. So what else do I 'hate'.... Well I don't really 'hate' it but I didn't care for Cowboy Bepop. I don't like adventure of the day shows where every episode they do something new. If I'm going to invest my time into something then it needs to be worth investing. I like continuous stories that have a start and an end and who's middle is all about connecting the two. Shows where the actual story episodes take place far apart from one another makes me unwilling to watch it. Feels like I'm just watching a bucket of filler (which is why I've never finished X-Files).

So, yeah. I don't 'hate' it, I just don't care for it really.

I also never finished Naruto. I started watching when I was in the middle of my teen years but at some point after the time-skip I just lost interest. The characters just started to feel unappealing to me. The main story felt like it didn't know where it wanted to go and just made shit up as it went along. I don't 'hate' Naruto either. I just resent what it became.

And Bleach. I never finished it either. Dunno why really. After they
defeated and caught Aizen or whatever his face is
it felt like the story should have ended. Like that was what everything had been building up towards and now it was done. And then it kept meandering on and I lost interest. I don't hate it either. Just feels like it was a waste of potential.
 
While I don't really hate it and I could sit through a few episodes, I find Pokemon to be inanely stupid. I guess it's just fun and doesn't require much brain power.

Outside of that, I don't really know what I really hate. There's stuff I don't care for, but I prefer to just stick to the early anime stuff when I can.

I kind of blame Dragonball was dumbing anime down, even if I personally love Dragonball
 
I don't watch a whole lot of anime. My 2 favorites are Bobobobo and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. (I'm on Diamond is Unbreakable) I like the strange animes where real life needn't apply to everything and everything can be whacky and fun while also being a surprising tearjerker. (not to mention Jojo has the best soundtrack of a show I've ever heard)

If I had to name a least favorite anime I think I'd have to agree with @Mr Fish . Highschool of the Dead was actually one of the first manga I got interested in, but then the plot went completely off the rails around 20 issues in. Not to mention all the fan service anywhere interspersed with what's supposed to be very scenes and grisly deaths. I can't take anything seriously when I'm watching a character die while her G-Cup breasts are so large they probably kill a few zombies by themselves just by moving. The anime was much worse in this regard, the fan-service even more blatant, and the villain (who in the manga I thought was cold and calculating given the material we had to work with) was basically put on the back burner. While Jojo and Bobo are both animes that are funnily unrealistic, High School of the Dead tries to have its cake and eat it too by being both serious and silly, but it doesn't know how to handle it well at all and just completely flops.

  1. Fairy Tail: Possibly the worst Anime I've ever seen, it boggles my mind on how this show has a large fan-base that like it. It's super repetitive, very predictable, has mediocre writing, and it is the worst offender for the whole "Power of Friendship" trope seen in many Shonen anime.
  2. Sword Art Online: Eh, I think Digibro's and Mother's Basement videos on SAO can perfectly sum up why I hate this anime.
  3. Naruto: Honestly, I used to like it but it lost it's charm somewhere in the second part. It just became another generic Shonen anime.
And that's pretty much it, I don't watch that much anime so I can't really list anymore. But if you want to watch a good anime, I recommend Yu Yu Hakusho.
 
It's actually a lot easier to list anime I like over anime I dislike because... most anime is shitty formulaic crap that recycles cliches and tropes while trying to bring up the same kind of emotions in viewers over and over again.

If I have to name some, it would be most of the anime adaptations of stuff in Shonen Jump (Bleach is of particular note to me since I view it as overrated bullshit, even worse than Naruto, written by someone who clearly cannot write, poor health aside) and stuff like Fairy Tail, SA:O etc. Only Gintama (and possibly My Hero Academia with Assassination Classroom) escapes my general disdain for Jump's content.
 
I'm going to be honest here, I don't care for Corey in the House. The animation was terrible, the dubs sounded retarded, so I had to watch the original japanese one with subs, and I'm not sure if the jokes translated too well, because they were utterly unfunny.

For a second one, I don't know if this counts, since it's a live adaptation, but since it was based off an anime I'll count it. The first Scooby Doo movie was awful.
