10 Worst Anime of 2025 - Latest Version, Complete with a List of Total Failures

THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END: This anime is adapted from the popular manhwa by TurtleMe and was touted as one of the most anticipated shows of the year. However, upon release, fan expectations quickly collapsed because the final result was far from what was hoped for. The main issue lies in the stiff animation and character designs that lost their original characteristics.

PLEASE PUT THEM ON, TAKAMINE-SAN: This anime sparked debate since the first episode aired. The story centers around a student council president who has a unique power: correcting mistakes by removing underwear. The absurd plot and the concept deemed inappropriate made many viewers feel uncomfortable.

YOUR FORMA: As an adaptation of a light novel with themes of technology and investigation, YOUR FORMA was expected to be the successor to the success of STEINS;GATE. However, instead of being thrilling, the storyline is confusing even for viewers who have read the original source. The production studio is considered rushed and skipped important parts of the novel's story, making the plot feel hollow and the characters lack depth.

THE SHIUNJI FAMILY CHILDREN: This anime sparked a lot of discussions due to its strange premise and moral debates. The story is about seven children from a wealthy family who turn out to be adopted, and their relationships start to change in inappropriate ways. Although Doga Kobo studio is known for its soft animation, the theme raised makes the audience feel uncomfortable.

FARMAGIA: Based on the works of Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail, this anime has become a subject of ridicule. The story is about humans who can plant monsters from seeds, a concept that sounds interesting but fails to be well realized. Although the character designs are good, the storyline is weak and the animation is unstable.

THE WATER MAGICIAN: This isekai anime was touted as a "breath of fresh air" in a genre that was starting to feel stale. The first episode gave hope with stunning water visuals, but everything changed in the second episode. The main character lost their important role, making this anime one of the biggest disappointments at the start of the year.

REBORN AS A VENDING MACHINE, I NOW WANDER THE DUNGEON S2: The second season of this anime continues the story of Boxxo and Lammis as they adventure against the Demon King's followers. Unfortunately, the oddness of the concept becomes increasingly difficult to accept. While the first season still felt funny and light, now the story spins aimlessly with the same conflicts repeating.

TOUGEN ANKI: Combining the concepts of humans and oni (Japanese demons), Tougen Anki was expected to be a modern competitor to Blue Exorcist. However, Studio Hibari has lost its way in storytelling. The characters feel one-dimensional, and almost all female characters are created without depth. Although the animation is quite neat, the story is filled with clichés and unbalanced CGI.

RENT-A-GIRLFRIEND SEASON 4: The fourth season of RENT-A-GIRLFRIEND has received harsh criticism. The story about Kazuya and his rental girlfriend now feels like it is going in circles without significant development. Many viewers believe this anime is no longer a rom-com, but a guide on "how not to behave in front of women".

ONE-PUNCH MAN SEASON 3: The top of the list of the worst anime of 2025 is occupied by ONE-PUNCH MAN SEASON 3. A series that was once an icon of parody action is now considered a symbol of the decline in quality of major anime productions. Its main weakness lies in the chaotic animation: still scenes last too long, movements are not smooth, and there are glaring visual errors.
