The worst anime of Fall-2024 according to the West

During the Fall-2024 season (October-December), several titles have managed to stand out negatively on MyAnimeList, positioning themselves among the worst rated by users of the platform. In this analysis, we have excluded series aimed exclusively at an adult audience and those that continue from previous seasons, focusing only on this season's premieres.

Among the characteristics shared by the most criticized titles are the following aspects:

• Low animation quality: Whether due to limited budgets or inconsistent art direction, many users often penalize a lack of fluidity or notorious errors in animation.
• Poorly developed stories: Unoriginal, confusing or purposeless plots are a source of frustration for viewers, especially in anime that fail to hook from their first episodes.
• Poor handling of CGI: In recent years, the improper use of computer animation has been the subject of severe criticism, especially when it is used unnecessarily or seems disconnected from the rest of the visual style.
• Rushed production: Issues such as incomplete episodes, technical errors, or delays also contribute to poor reception. Fans have less tolerance for these failures, especially in a competitive season.

The MyAnimeList community is known for being highly critical, especially with productions that do not meet the expectations generated by marketing campaigns or recognized studios. In addition, constant comparisons with successful series of the season tend to increase expectations and, therefore, disappointments.
