The conclusion of the summer 2012 anime season also sees some effort by anime fans to determine the very worst offerings of the season, a determination which is sadly all too difficult to make given the number of contenders available this time around.
The ranking, intended to include all anime airing during the season:
1. Gundam Age
2. Yuru Yuri 2
3. Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
4. Sword Art Online
5. Ebiten
6. Kokoro Connect
7. Hyouka
8. Binbougami-ga!
9. Aesthetica Of A Rogue Hero
10. Joshiraku
11. Tari Tari
12. Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai
13. Campione!
14. The Ambition of Oda Nobuna
15. Koi to Senkyou to Chocolate
16. Horizon On The Middle Of Nowhere
17. Total Eclipse
18. Upotte!!
19. Accel World
20. Dog Days’
21. Sengoku Collection
22. Kuroko’s Basketball
23. Arcana Famiglia
24. Humanity Has Declined
25. Lagrange 2
Ranking aficionados will of course note the usual paradox of popularity inherent in such a ranking – a title has to be popular in the first place if it is to be hated widely, as awful titles nobody bothered to watch in the first place will easily be worsted by highly popular titles, whose small minorities of detractors outnumber those who have even heard of the lesser titles.

This is more of a list (in random order) for summer 2012 than a ranking.
Saw Binbougami-ga! under the top 10 worst anime.
Laughed.
Gave those fuckers the finger.
Next.
How about a Top 25 Worst Lists on Sankaku ?
Followed by a Top 25 Sensationalistic News on Sankaku.
It must be nice to have 25 animes to choose from on the air in one season.
How about top 25 most butthurted Anonymous?
You could be on it
These are just a list of the animes of Summer 2012.
I thought about that too =)
but but...I liked dog days...
wait a minute, weren't most of these shows praised? especially on sankaku.
"Praised" for unsavory reasons.
lol yea wut all the best anime of summer are on here this list is a bunch a crap ~ watch like every show on this list and was only disappointed with like 2
You're a very sad person if you think that many shows on this list are good...
No its sad you parents failed since you are arrogant garbage who thinks his opinion=dogma.
Of course, Eureka seven AO wasn't placed in the 25 worst (it was 26th...) because it actually has plot.
It placed 26th because nobody cares.
As someone who places Eureka Seven as probably the top three best anime I've ever seen, I care a lot. However I refuse to watch this season until it's done.
so all the ones people liked, eh? haha
If people liked it,there's bound to be more that hate it because others liked it(those people are called haters,not to be confused with people who genuinely hated the series).
but isn't the list filled with every title that came out this season? i shudder to think of what repercussions this poll could and would do to the writers and the animé industry...
They're more like sheep than haters... they can't think think for themselves, so they hate whatever is popular to hate.
@08:02 I totally agree. It's like the author said, "a title has to be popular in the first place if it is to be hated widely". When looking at the list it seems like its all of the shows during the summer season besides a few 'shit' series no one has really heard of.
People just love to hate it seems.
True. I think they should just make all of the top 10 lists' titles 'top 10 lists of most voted anime' or something. That'll solve most contradiction between top 10 lists.
This list is invalid.
All lists are invalid.
Invalidity is listed
Listidity was invalist.
Binbougami-ga!,Hyouka,Kokoro connec...best animes of this season - TOP -_-"
Shits like Arcana famiglia, Accel world or Sengoku collecton - Bottom (_._),,
This list can't be worster...
I swear arcana famiglia is the worst anime ever, they set up with a pretty good plot using the first episode, and everyone has their mysterious powers, but damn the dude responsible for writing whatever happens next deserves to get fired
I couldn't agree more with your take on it. The first episode had all the makings of a great series (despite the many cliches in it), which is then immediately followed by complete trash episodes. I stopped watching after 5 or so. Should be near the top for worst anime.
Ain't seen it but I wonder if it could be worse than Upotte!
Well that show was good fun until they decided to try to put some dramatic plot around ep 6 and the end and... it was so badly made it ruined the rest.
They shouldnt have followed bambina's route
Actually Accel World was one of the most popular animes in japan this summer, you just got a bad taste.
Popularity doesn't make it good. Were that the case, Naruto would be the best anime in the world.
or japan has bad tastes (it's a possibility)
note: i'm not the anom 2:22
no, accel world was pretty damn terrible. i gave it more than enough time, and dropped it after like 5 or 6 episodes.
No, right off the bat it was interesting. You're locked in a game, people are going to die with no ability to see the real world again. The show was thoroughly entertaining and a lot more mature than I ever expected it to be. If you're bored, you're bored, whatever, but it wasn't "terrible"
I hate that nonsense. It's of high quality, If something's terrible, that means it fails in many aspects.
Yeah, now call me butthurt, because I think I deserve it now. :)
No,Only first half of Aw is better than SAO... Second arc a.k.a Nomi arc is totaly shit, and that fillier with Kuroyukihime, It was only for perv otaku who wants to see Hime in bikini..
You didn't even watch through the first major arc? Weak.
AW was one of the best animes last season. Much better than it's elder, SAO.
A series shouldn't take that long to get me interested.
heheh... worster. too funny.
So the anime which are terrible enough that nobody watched them are outranked on the terrible anime list by anime which people HAVE watched, which makes those anime less terrible than the anime which is listed as less terrible than them and oh no I've gone cross-eyed.
When I saw that Yuru Yuri had one Best anime in the Kobe Awards I knew this was coming a mile away.
Why bimbougami-ga?
Shit was hilarious.
Definitely the funniest anime that's come out in a while.
Not to mention there was actual character development in it.
And the random references......
I think I counted like 7 DBZ references throughout it, and that rosario+vampire one was brilliant. "I think I'll join the newspaper club!"
Momiji is my favorite new character of the year, hands down.
Who writes these list?.. ¬___¬
It's not matter of who writes them, it's matter of who votes for them, which in most cases are idiots at 2chan
Of course, SAO fanboys are butthurted with the results of the list.
Butthurt would be appropriate IF THE SHOW WASNT GOOD! People just throw out "butthurt," like SAO is some bland moe show with no merit.
what is SOA?
SAO is awesome, I question the taste of anyone that says otherwise, if SAO is bad, whats good?
I like SOA. But I can see How it got the ranking it did.
leon writes them because he's bored ;p
The Japanese do as you can see if you click the source link.
