Comedy is considered one of the most difficult art forms to master. The right joke told with the wrong timing will get a mediocre laugh at best. Compared to other forms of entertainment, it’s easier to fail, and anime knows more than a bit about that.

Though there were plenty of hit comedy series, there were several series that came out and did rather poorly. Most of them were so forgettable the only way to know about them would be mindlessly searching through Crunchyroll...or reading a list like this one. This list is devoted to the worst comedy anime of the 2010 era, ranked in descending order according to IMDb.

10 URAHARA – 5.8

Introduced in the fall of 2017, Urahara was animated by Shirogumi and EMT Squared. The series’ relatively high rating for this list is because it was a rather polarizing series, with some people considering it genius and others finding it a huge turn off. The show is about a trio of high school girls who run a shop called PARK in the Harajuku area. But when a group of aliens arrive with the intention of stealing all of Harajuku’s culture, the girls are forced to work together to battle against the aliens and keep Harajuku and it’s scene safe.

9 CUTIE HONEY UNIVERSE - 5.7

The women of Cutie Honey Universe.

A series that was supposed to be more of an action series than a comedy, Cutie Honey Universe comes in at a rather 5.7, making it one of the best of the worst. The series began in the Spring of 2018 and was animated by the studio Production Reed. The series was meant to be a revival of the popular superhero series Cutie Honey and saw young teenager Honey Kisaragi battle against the evil group Panther Claw and Sister Jill. Their goal? Honey’s Airborne Element Fixing Device, which helps her transform into all of Cutie Honey’s forms. But the show gets lost in bad humor and needlessly cliché scenarios.

8 ONIGIRI – 5.1

Airing in the Spring of 2016 and animated by Pierrot Plus, Onigiri began as an MMO by developer CyberStep that was turned into an anime as a cross-media property. In the anime, Japan is dealing with the Kamikui, dangerous beings who are destroying the land.

Their only chance at protection is Jin, an “Oni”, and his partners, eight women with incredible powers and abilities...and vastly different personalities. The series is only a group of shorts, so there’s not much time to develop a world or even much in the way of characters, which is probably why it only scored a 5.1.

7 Bikini Warriors – 5.3

The Bikini Warriors is a series about a group of four women adventurers, each of them aiming to save the world. But it’s pretty difficult to actually save the world when they can’t even manage to go on their first adventure properly. The heroes of Bikini Warriors struggle with being broke and unable to actually fight the threats out in the dungeons away from the city. Then there's the fact that the armor they’ve been sold seems like it’d work better on the beach than against monsters. This series is meant to be a parody, but isn’t quite clever enough to pull it off.

6 WAGAMAMA HIGH SPEC – 4.9

Another series that began in the Spring of 2016, Wagamama High Spec is another three minute short series, this time animated by AxsiZ, a studio known for its work on Seiren and Ulysses: Jeanne D’Arc and the Alchemist Knight. Based on a visual novel game, the series is set around the student council of Ousui Academy. The girls all have a crush on a single boy, in Kouki Narumi, but the series surprisingly isn’t about him at all. Instead, it’s about what the girls have to find to do when Narumi isn’t around.

5 HIMOTE HOUSE – 4.8

Releasing in the Fall of 2018, Himote House is the product of studio Bouncy. The show follows five girls (and a cat!) who live together in Tokyo. All five girls spend their days trying to be popular, but they also all have superpowers... which seems like the best way to be popular, really. The biggest problem with Himote House is its low-tier animation, which is also CGI, and the fact that the series isn’t really about anything. The only high point is getting to see them animate the actors ad-libbing at the end of episodes.

4 MY SISTER, MY WRITER – 4.5

My Sister, My Writer is one of the weirder premises for an anime series. Animated by NAZ, the series follows Suzuka Nagami, a middle school student who’s a veritable wunderkind—she’s president of the student council, has amazing grades, and is a published writer! She created a novel about a little sister who looks after her older brother.

When she wins an award for it though, she asks her brother to pretend to be her, under a new pen name. The series not only lacks in animation but also has the problem of having every girl in the series obsessed with the main character, making them flat and two-dimensional.

3 NOBUNAGA-SENSEI'S YOUNG BRIDE – 4.1

A series that most people won’t be able to finish reading the premise without saying “gross” to, Nobunaga-sensei’s Young Bride first appeared in the Spring of 2019, animated by studio Seven, previously known for My Wife is the Student Council President and Hensuki. A middle school teacher named Nobunaga is one day confronted with a 14-year-old named Kichou who says she was meant to be his bride. Only she came from the past and believes this teacher is actually Nobunaga Oda, of the Sengoku era.

2 RAINY COCOA – 3.4

The cast of Rainy Cocoa

Rainy Cocoa follows Aoi Tokura, a young man often mistaken for a girl. On his way out of a train station, he finds himself running from a rainstorm, rushing into the cafe Rainy Color. While he’s there, Aoi’s able to find some peace, but he runs into a problem—a young man he had troubles with on the train comes into the cafe too. If that sounds exciting, then the 3.4 rating might seem a bit puzzling. But for anyone who sees the conflict for the boredom it actually is, it all makes sense.

1 JK MESHI – 3.1

And finally we have the worst of the worst, JK Meshi. A series of shorts animated by Kyotoma, Meshi is about a trio of high school women who’ve learned how to cook simple dishes known, fittingly enough, as JK-Meshi. When they’re trying to procrastinate from studying, they end up cooking JK-Meshi meals together. No, the series isn’t a how-to cook series, that would make it useful. Instead, it’s just them messing about for three minutes. Even the animation is bad, and thus they don’t even try to give viewers the food porn anime fans watch series of this type for.
