Your challenge is to turn someone off from anime forever. What anime/episode of an anime would you show them to do that?

[QuiteAshraf]

For me it would be the first episode of Lucky Star.
Now tell me YOURS

 

[cytoq]

Easy
Yosuga no Sora. If you enjoy something like that you deserve a punishment worth than death.

 

[Ari2142]

Ahh hmm, let me think.

Boku no pico

 

[aloysiusks]

redo of healer

 

[sterven]

aku no hana I like the manga though.

 

[ReficuLSolbaiD]

@aloysiusks agreed

that manga is an actual meme answer when people ask for "a manga like ______" where the blank is something you find as absolute garbage. Oh the number of times I've heard people say "I actually like that manga until..." I can't bring myself to watch the anime, but if it followed the same plot then it'd be the same answer.

Binge H2O footprints in the sand ... with no breaks.

I watched it back when it was airing and at that time I watched literally everything that was subbed.
It might be the first series I dropped. The pacing felt all wrong, plot and animation too generic and even the cast wasn't anything impressive, the only one who left any impression was Sakakibara Yui... I don't think I heard the names of the other seiyuu...

 

[Falador]

Fruit of Grisaia

It was so awfully made that it should be good enough to turn any normal person away from anime.

 

[a9029]

I agree, Grisaia made me stop watching anime and read VNs instead.

 

[Teasday]

No Game No Life

 

[Blue-Locket]

Hmm...what about Devilman Crybaby?

 

[blackyawgdom]

Easy. put a copy of all 3 Boku no Picos, while the FBI waits in another room. Sent to jail, they never touch anime again.

 

[Greenfrost]

Maybe The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Specifically, the "Endless Eight" episodes.

They really were a perfect example of Einstein's definition of insanity. Watching the same episode over and over again while expecting a different result.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Shrek the Third

 

[Robinisback]

@Greenfrost But, But, But They had different Animation...

 

[Yatsuki]

No brain nor creativity nor originality answer: Ex-Arm

 

[Hornyturtle]

Episodes 6/7 of freezing vibrations

 

[Tscheddov]

@Teasday
could you tell me why you'd pick no game no life ? I'm not trying to argue here since from what i have seen this series isn't my cup of tea either. I'm just curious
(it's the shiny colours, right ? hurt my eyes)



I'd pick GYO or Euphoria

 

[Hornyturtle]

Euphoria does what it does extremely well. It's a less child friendly version of saw

 

[PantsMan]

Probably some You'll Never Be Japanese-type show like Joshiraku or Onara Goro.

Trashy or violent stuff would do a far better job at hooking in a new viewer than most "good shows". Comedy is where all the major noob turn-offs are.
