Ever watch an Animie movie, OVA or series that was so bad that you threw up a little in your mouth while watching it, made you so angry and frustrated that you wanted to dump gasoline on yourself and strike a match, or couldn't sleep for days due to being haunted with, "WTF did I just watch!? Why…why would someone make THAT and think it was GOOD!?"
The first one that always comes to mind is one called Garzey's Wing… it is actually the ONLY anime that I stop watching 1/4 of the way through. There was so much wrong with it - from the voice acting that didn't line up at all in both sub AND dub all the way up to the animation that was like a still-screen shot being moved by hand - it literally compelled me to projectile vomit. In fact, I know it's the worst out there, as I've tried to unload it on eBay for less than a $1 and NO ONE even looks at it! If anyone is curious to see why this is so bad, I'll GIVE this anime to you for FREE! It's like a monkey's paw, and I can't get rid of it. Thankfully I only paid $3 for this a few years ago, but even that was too much.
One other that I actually made it through… but only just barely mind you, was M.D. Geist. It wasn't a total loss, but I could never figure out what the actual point was to that one, it was so random, terrible voice acting and dialogue (actually there was very little dialogue!), no character development, no actual plot, more questions than answers, and played out like an overly violent, high tech sci-fi thriller, created by an art school student who did a short film submission for Sundance. Maybe there was a manga it was based off of and you had to read that first to know the character(s) and the plot? I don't know, but it was rather terrible in any case.
Ironically, these were both released in the late 80's on VHS, and then DVD later on, and was put out by U.S. Manga Corp. I have several DVD's released through U.S. Manga, and I would be safe to say that more than half of their releases are pretty weak, if not flat out bad, but there are some that are actually really good too like They Were Eleven, or Venus Wars, but most of their good releases are in the minority.
...any others out there?
