* '''''Anime/FinalFantasyUnlimited''''' has almost nothing to do with the whole ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' franchise except for the presence of iconic motifs such as Chocobos, Moogles, Cid, and the crystals. Beyond that, only two members of the main cast are actually fighters. [[AntiHero One's]] "fighting" involves an overly long summon scene animated in plodding ConspicuousCGI every episode, and the other one comes across as a knockoff of [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] with [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud's]] hairstyle and without the characterization or depth of either. Furthermore, the main characters were only there to [[KidAppealCharacter appeal to younger audiences]] and generally did nothing to affect the plot, despite the world of Final Fantasy being a WorldOfBadass which features multiple [[KidHero kid heroes]] such as [[Videogame/FinalFantasyIII The Onion Knight]], [[Videogame/FinalFantasyIV Rydia]], and [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVI Relm]]; the art direction can't decide whether it's aiming to the arthouse, children show, or CGI action crowds, resulting in an inconsistent artstyle filled with gratuitous levels of ConspicuousCGI ''on top of the myriad OffModel scenes that are already present''. Only the first half of the whole story is animated, and if this [[https://marathonrecaps.wordpress.com/2018/06/10/final-fantasy-unlimited-after-hypothetical-adventure/ Wordpress summary]] is true, then it's for the better since unlike '''''any''''' other installment in the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, the story ends on a cliffhanger and remains unfinished, while what ended up being broadcasted at least has a vaguely definite end. Anime News Network's [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/final-fantasy-unlimited/dvd-2 review]] for the second DVD single says it all. It's no wonder that after all of this, Square Enix likes to pretend that it doesn't exist.

* '''''Anime/HandShakers''''' became notorious almost instantly after it began airing, largely in part due to its horrendous animation style full of janky frames, poor colour mixing, awkward movement, abundance of ConspicuousCG, and a number of other issues which has led to many labeling the anime unwatchable. Those who ''try'' to watch the anime for the plot aren't going to get anything out of it either, with bland characters, a non-existent plot [[IdiotPlot driven by stupidity]], terrible pacing (with very little in the way of plot happening over more than half the anime) and a heaping amount of off-putting IncestSubtext. The anime especially became notorious on Anime News Network, where [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/hand-shakers/episode-4/.111708 its fourth episode ended up being one of the very few anime episodes to ever get an "F" ranking]], with the rest of the series almost ''never'' raising above a pathetic "D". This led to many watching out of pure BileFascination. Watch WebVideo/MothersBasem*nt tear it apart [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2L5Q2601n8 here.]]

* '''''Manga/PilotCandidate''''', a.k.a. ''Candidate For Goddess'', has [[SpecialEffectFailure horribly-integrated]] [[ConspicuousCG CGI]] even for its era, {{plot hole}}s practically from the start (it's stated early that only men can become Goddess pilots, except the best pilot on the protagonist's squad is a woman), and an aggressively unlikable protagonist in Zero Enna (a mashup of [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray]], and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Taichi Kamiya]] [[note]](and even ''voiced'' by Tai's voice actor in the English dub)[[/note]], but with none of their redeeming qualities). The greatest failing, however, is that every piece of the story is [[AbortedArc incomplete]]. Several characters and concepts are introduced but never explored, each battle is an unfollowable mess with key points missing, and while the focus on cadets should make for an interesting angle, the main characters are barely involved with the plot. And to top it all off, even though the story is too thin and weak to support twelve episodes, it still has a GeckoEnding. Watch Bennett the Sage [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8PpooHKv8M make fun of it]] along with ''Anime/BlueGender'' (which, while [[SoOkayItsAverage mediocre]], is nowhere near as bad as this anime) for his "Creator/AdultSwim Month" feature, and watch WebVideo/TheCartoonHero tear it apart [[http://theherooftomorrow.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-cartoon-hero-vs-pilot-candidate.html here]].
