Zatch Bell. It was just... jarring. I could only watch about half an episode (it was with a friend).

I'm also not a fan of Kaze no Stigma; it was just boring to me. There are two more like that whose titles I can't recollect. I'm not a fan of boring anime with tons of one-dimensional characters and such.

I'm sure I'll think of more later; I'm picky about my anime, haha.

Basically Elfen Lied is 70 percent gore, 30 percent everything else.

It has some of the most gruesome death scenes (and worse, the scenes that don't end with a character dying during a fight) I've ever seen in any medium. Not because they're grotesque (they are though, really grotesque), but because of how brutal they are.

Honestly, there was this one scene between the two pink haired girls that gives me chills thinking about it. One girl got it really bad. That's all I'll say about that...*shudders*

I don't know why I stuck with it that long, the opening scene in the first episode has a kill count of over 15 people. That's what we see on screen.

To each their own. I liked Elfen Lied. And a few entries of mine that got into AMV Hell (CE and the-one-which-shall-not-be-named-do-not-look-it-up-you'll-want-to-tear-your-eyes-out) used it.

For me, probably Weiß Kreuz. I blame it on the packaging. I have the first DVD, and it was so awful (acting, plot, animation, underlying marketing premise) that the only somewhat-redeeming factor are the English dub bloopers included as an extra ("I have to shave my tongue", or making references to The Exorcist, South Park, and "that Indian guy from Predator"). I never got past watching that first disc, and bringing myself to watching the rest of it would be an exercise in masochism. Doesn't necessarily mean it won't ever happen, but it's likely not to anytime soon (especially because I bought/watched the first DVD in like, late '03 or early '04).

I will clarify that Elfen Lied wasn't bad, just incredibly brutal. I hated the show, but I can't say its the worst, not even close.

I tend to pick my shows carefully, but the least satisfying show that I've watched would have to be.....actually I've never watched a bad anime. I've been lucky I guess

Angel Sanctuary now there was some real twisted dmons are the good guys, angels are the villians, and the human protaganist and his sister have an incestuous love for each other. The show really blind side me because it was on one of thos preview disc you get with anime magizines so I didn't know what was coming. It was 3 months before I started watching any anime again after this.

Main just talking it sends chill up my spine.

Well Azure that doesn't surprise me that considering how twisted the part of this anime I saw was.

The question is so hard to answer, since there are so many great candidates for "Worst", but Elfen Lied is definitely in the top 10. Sad that the OP song is so beautiful.
