I would probably say Strike Witches, though it was a long time ago when I was first getting into anime that I tried watching it. I've watched a ton since then and I doubt I would even bat an eye at that show's content today, especially since I've managed to sit through this season's Vividred Operation which is basically the exact same show.

Guess I'll go with Dakara Boku wa H ga Dekinai. Silly fanservice with a nonsense plot that manages to take itself way too seriously.

Clicking that Gamecenter CX video is going to end up costing me countless hours of my life. No idea how I hadn't heard of this until now.

I have very low standards for animation quality but this season's Da Capo III has had enough blunders that even I have taken notice. Characters are consistently off-model, large portions of each episode are composed of ultra-close-up still frames of a character's face/hair/naughty bits, and there have been several other issues like a character "teleporting" between 2 different locations in the same scene.

Edge Maverick and the entire rest of the cast of Star Ocean 4. It almost feels like the writers went out of their way to make these characters as stupid as possible and to purposely include every single cliche of bad anime ever. What Edge does in the "earth" section may quite possibly be THE dumbest thing I have ever seen in a game. Not to mention that Edge Maverick is probably the worst name I have ever heard as well. There's just nothing good about him, at all.

I know that Yahtzee doesn't really count, but goddamn Yahtzee. He's the Armond White of video games.

I was about to ask if he counts. Don't worry; I hate him, too.

Well, his terrible scathing review of Valkyria Chronicles managed to convince me that the game sounded really great, so he's indirectly/accidentally done some good.

I completely ignored it on Normal since after the first one or two missions I never saw anything besides Difficult or Very Difficult and nothing seemed to ever change regardless of what it said. I'd actually just assumed it was meaningless.

Seeing Phantom Breaker on the Least Played list reminds me how annoyed I am that it never actually came out here. SevenSixty has to be one of the worst publishers there is. They've "delayed" the game for over a year now and only bother to state that they currently have no information to give every couple months. It's kind of sweet justice to see one of the 2 titles they actually did bother to release on the Least Played Games that had a Quicklook list.

Favorite: Dishonored

Hated: I didn't think anything would top Mass Effect 3 but then Diablo 3 happened. I didn't think anything would top Diablo 3 but now I am about 5 hours into Assassin's Creed 3 and I don't even want to play anymore. I guess that wins since I at least managed to get through D3. It was a bad year for "3" games for me.

@ewok00p: This post is almost like it'd written it myself, you basically took the words out of my mouth. In addition I've also found myself really frustrated by the binary failstates that the guys talked about on the Bombcast a few weeks ago. I went into this game straight off of Dishonored, which let me handle any situation how I wanted; getting instant mission failure because you got detected or didn't do something exactly as scripted, and a bunch of bonus objectives you only have 1 very easily missed shot at before having to restart, are really jarring after playing that.

@TobbRobb: That's one of the reasons (besides laziness) I haven't read the novels yet. I decided I was confident I'd be able to enjoy the novels after watching the anime, but not necessarily the other way around, due to the smaller scope that's generally present in anime adaptations. I won't know everything that happens in the novels after watching the anime but I very likely would know everything that was going to happen in the anime after reading the novels.

@Petiew: Yeah, that whole episode was a terrible case of mood whiplash. I was actually waiting for a punchline after the really serious thing that happens and was shocked when one never came. Was like "Wait, that actually just really happened?" Then it was totally handwaved away and everyone was back to being happy again. A big part of my disappointment in general comes from the fact that the "filler" that made up the majority of this series is the same crap I am more than sick of seeing in so many other series. The weak male protagonist who will stand up to any opponent yet completely breaks down into a quivering wimp when any sort of romantic possibility appears. The annoying comedy relief guy who tries to screw up his "friend"'s relationships out of jealousy but he's "funny" so nobody ever actually calls him on it. Etc. (Seriously, the main character's entire reason for existing is to meet a zombie girl and then when he finally does he's afraid to even say anything to her? Come on.) That and, I don't really feel like Rea actually got any development at all beyond the first couple episodes. They could have shown so much more of how she felt about her condition or whether she got to feel like a real girl after doing things she wanted to do. Instead they just kinda made her a background character and plot point.
