I want to see outrageous anmie/manga. Those which are bad in an unexpected way. Those which literally traumatized you. Maybe tell me a little bit about them?
Just...try to be polite, I don't really want to start an arguement here.
Actually I made this post just to rant on one certain manga (Land of the Lustrous/Houseki no Kuni). I was indeed shocked by its plot but I will never recommend reading it. (not totally negating the franchise, it still has many good points and I quite like it, urgh it's complicated)
When I was reading it for the first time I thought hey this is pretty cool, never expected the plot to be like this, but some time later I felt physically ill for more than a month. It feels much more depressing than any other work I've read, even if no one died. Now the author is on hiatus for an indeterminate time and the manga was paused on an unbearable point, I was desperate to know what will happen next.
In order to cope with this unpresent feeling I read the more light-hearted part of this manga (or the anime adaptation) over and over again, to the point that I can almost remember every line and scene of the anime, I even made my biggest fandragon collection of it :P
Now I see it better and I regard it as an absolutely terrible manga, so terrible and nonsensical, I love it so much.

I agree with this. I adored the anime when it came out, but the manga going forward from the cliffhanger it ended on just kept getting weirder and more depressing with no levity. Phos kept getting so many modifications and parts of other Gems that they didn't even feel like the same person.
On that note, let me tell you about another CGI anime from around the same time, Kado: The Right Answer. If you delve far back into my post history you'll see the evidence of when I hyperfixated on it as it was coming out. It had an extremely strong and intriguing start, using the strengths and limitations of anime CGI for incredible visuals, before taking a nosedive in the last third or so. The ending has the absolute worst handling of gay (well, one is a gay man, the other is a genderless extradimensional being, both in love with the lead) characters and forced straight romance I've ever seen, like Twilight and the Supernatural finale had a shotgun wedding. I'll make this post more detailed and coherent later.
Also, Senjuushi: The Thousand Noble Musketeers. Bottom-of-the-barrel gacha adaptation trash with nonexistent action scenes, characters that don't have personalities so much as gimmicks, and an excuse plot that plays the American conservative conspiracy theory of a one-world government taking everyone's guns away completely seriously. Yeah, all of said flat characters are personified historical firearms, which also leads to romanticizing imperialists including King Leopold III. It's like Touken Ranbu with the flair and likable characters replaced with Hetalia.

I dont know if (Sora No Method) counts as a terrible anime/manga, but doesnt was what we, me and my sister, expected. My sister reccomended it yo me and i really dont liked it. I never finalized it.

Oh god yes, I remember that one. It was my first CGI anime so I was sceptic at first but found it to be pretty good until well...you already said it. I remember hearing that the writers originally planned to let the main end up with Yaha-kui but changed it last minute for unknown reasons. I don't know how much truth there is to this but the last minute change would explain why the ending felt so rushed and they had to come up with bad timeskip plot devices.
On topic:
[i]Fate/Kaleid Liner: Prisma Illya[/i]. Is one of my most disliked Fate installments. The Animation quality is quite decent and it has some cool moments later on but it had even more that made me feel really uncomfortable. Especially the first two seasons are basically a l*licons wet dream paired with some pseudo inc*st. It's origin as a doujinshi is evident and to this day I don't get why TYPE MOON thought it was a good idea the make this canon...

Inuka I think I remember talking with you about it. It would not surprise me at all if Toei vetoed a queer relationship to avoid alienating the dudebro demographic they cultivate. After all, a good story doesn't sell tiddy mousepads. I also remember reading an interview saying that the leads were literally designed around each other and now I'm ****** all over again.
also yeah I'm getting into Fate but I'm not touching Prisma Illya with a ten-foot pole. Their final ascension arts in FGO should get the artist and whoever sees them put on a list.

what do you mean its beautiful
my worst anime:
To me the worst anime I've watched was Masamune-kun no Revenge
I could ramble about it for hours why it's so bad but let's just say
the amount of revenge in it is
0%
the amount of cringe, ecchi and just being plain dumb is
100%

Worst manga I’ve read might be Scryed. Just… the books were so perverted and weird?? Confusing plot line and I just couldn’t stand it. I’m not sure how much I could describe here but a fair bit of ecchi and sometimes what I’d call body horror
Ironically, its anime counterpart s-CRY-ed is honestly? My favorite anime. The characters were more fun, the plot was way less creepy in places, and something about that 90s anime look just vibes with me. The opening song is also straight-up FIRE imo. Straight Cougar was my favorite character in this, funny, goofy, and reckless, unlike his manga counterpart where he just died :(
A fun fact—they’re so very different because they were both made separately at the same time! Neither is really based off the other, except for the same characters and world.

I'm not sure I'd call it terrible but I was really disappointed in Eden of the East. The first 3 episodes were great (if you could survive the cringe of the first episode). There were 12 people playing the game, and so far 1 person died each episode. With 12 episodes for the series all they had to do was keep killing 1 person each time or bundle 2 together if you wanted to stretch a sideplot a bit further. They really fumbled the pacing tho, introducing 3 of the players (who had formed an alliance) in the last few episodes and didn't introduce some of them until the sequel movies. The ending also wasn't satisfying because the main character opted to erase his memories again instead of having any sort of character arc, and he did this again in the movie so there wasn't any satisfying ending there either. Overall I thought the idea was good but the execution was awful.
There was also a manga that I can't remember the name of but it went way too far into the fanservice. The plot was about a village that somehow kept all the monsters away while also not allowing anyone to leave. Maybe a barrier would be broken if someone left, idk. It would have been an interesting story if it weren't for the constant "oh no this cave is so hot I better take off my shirt teehee" moments. Like, I've read a bunch of manga so I can tolerate the usual amount of fluff but this went overboard.

Goblin Slayer. Got two chapters in and noped out so hard. If you've read it, you can probably guess why, and if you haven't....don't. The Slayer himself is pretty cool but...everything else about that series makes me feel so gross.
For one I actually tried to read, Attack on Titan. I really wanted to like this, I really did, and got fairly deep into it (When the Ape Titan (is that what it's called?) turns up) before I gave up. But I just....couldn't like it. The world is honestly fairly bland, the characters are...the interesting ones get ignored/killed and the ones we're MEANT to cheer on are just so unlikable. I spent more time hoping they'd get eaten than I did cheering them on.
