• Естественно присоединяюсь к вышесказанному!

• Yes, I know the contest is over and done (and congrats to the winners!) However, I feel that this list would be remiss if we did not have any mention one of the greatest <i>unexpectedly</i> f**ked up Anime series ever to be aired in America. I speak, of course, of that delightful brain-tulip from the halcyon days when Nickelodeon would air any damn thing they could get the rights to, even if it could do lasting damage to an entire generation. Yes, I speak, of course, of "The Noozles". Get a cold beer and a comfortable seat; this one's going to take some explaining. So as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OBGh-N8a04">the innocuous opening sequence shows</a>, the series concerned an irritating little girl who receives a plushie koala named Blinky as a gift. Turns out that the koala can come to life and he has a fairy-like sister, Pinky, with magical powers. They go on magical adventures together. So far a little trippy but not too weird. That is until we get to the first episode set in Koala-Wala-Land. See these two koalas are from another dimension that is starting to either merge with or separate from our world. And it is populated entirely by talking animals. Talking animals with advanced technology and a violent hatred of humans. It turns out that: a) Blinky is a clone who was raised inside what amounts to a cutesy-poo version of those nightmare fuel human tanks in "The Matrix". b) Annoying girl's grandfather was lost in Koala-Wala-Land while exploring and has voluntarily trapped himself inside a magical crystal that forms the center of the Koala-Wala-Land universe. Which turns out not to be a bad idea because... c) ...if a human is sighted within Koala-Walla-Land, the alarm is sounded and the cute little Nazi Koalas in their Nibblonian-looking spaceships will come and hunt said human down. Repeat: <b>Nazi Koalas.</b> In cute little spaceships. Hunting humans. You cannot make this kind of shit up if you wanted to. It's the kind of thing that will seriously fuck with your head when you are six years old, and it remains the most ludicrous Anime moment I have ever seen. And just for perspective: I've watched "End of Evangelion".

• Code Geass R2 warning-spoilers Seen a lot of anime but this is the most ludicrous moment I have seen. In case people were wondering it doesn't make any sense in context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8-n8ao6ljk 5:14-5:44

• That scene was death of the month in anime invasion 1 if I remember correctly.

• Azumanga Daioh The episode entitled "pool pool" A class of high school girls go to swim class. They go get changed and when they leave their pedophile English teacher Asks "How was it?" they say "umm it was.." The Teacher then cut them of by screaming "DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!" for a whole minute.

• Is the contest already over? What the hell,I'll just go ahead and post :) Ok,I have quite a few moments that were just...weird,but this one kinda takes the cake(for now...) This one's from a little anime called "Sayonara,Zetsubou Sensei".It's basically about a super pessimistic high school teacher(who likes to hang himself...a lot) who meets a eerily super positive girl and a whole class chock full of weirdos.This class includes a crazy stalker girl,a social recluse who lives in the school ,a girl who's obsessed with tails and suspected victim of domestic violence and a girl who's so shy she can only communicate trough nasty text messages. In one episode,the teacher goes to his hometown to take part in his family's marriage ceremony and since they're absurdly rich,pretty much everyone in the entire fucking town has to be involved.They then kidnap the girls,put them in kimonos and proceed to explain how it takes place. Here's the part where it gets weird: It starts at midnight and lasts 24 hours,and if you make eyecontact with someone,you're married! So all you have to do to get married is just look at some poor sucker's eyes? And it doesn't matter who,once it happens(even by accident!),you're hitched And his students are there too,so he might get hitched to a little girl? I do not want to imagine the divorce rates there... And yet it still had me in stitches! LOL

• &#64; BadNflu3nce: that wasn't his punch that caused that.

• Now, I have already made an entry, so this will not be an attempt to qualify, but rather SHAME ON YOU guys for not mentioning one of the most famous catchprases of all of videogame history I know it doesn't quite compare to TTGL or Prince of Tennis, but still good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw

• Piccolo blowing up the moon in DBZ, 'nough said!

• mia; pretty sure you're talking about Kemonozume

• (Kayla said: Carmelldansen. That is all. Also, though it is not anime, those naked guys who sing and just wear fig leaves. They sing "Yatta!". Scarred for life. That can never be unseen.) Carmeldansen isn't anime either it's a Swedish dance song. If Yatta scared you I hate to think what you would do if you ever saw two girls one cup. Pry retire from the human race. YATTA YATTA happy go lucky.

• i dont see my entry i submitted at 1 am est.

• intresting.

• "Welcome To Ogenki Clinic". Google it. Or the phrase "penis has a mustache" would probably work just as well. Is that ludicrous? I can't even tell. That's what anime is to me, just a rapid series of inexplicable juxtapositions accompanied by high-pitched gibberish. And sometimes, if you are lucky, enormous boobs.

• Kitten masturbation... I remember that scene well. I really liked the first season of that show, but the second was pretty bad, in my opinion. The number 1 reason for that was Gates. I can deal with the main character turning the emo dial to 11 suddenly when he was no more than a 3 before that, and I can deal with tunnel systems worth of plot holes, but Gates was just annoying.

• I think for me, it was when when Shinji jacked off over a comatose Asuka in some Evangelion movie. I mean for fuck's sake - here's a series with enough bullshit in it at the end to make your head spin so badly that you never want to even bother taking a stab at it again. The ending for that series was so damned bad that it caused a mini riot in Tokyo. THEN they get more funding (from the anime gods that apparently hate us half the time) to make a couple of movies that would apparently explain it all. But no, instead of doing that - you get Shinji jacking off, cumming and it being shown dribbling in his hand. People will argue that Shinji is a complex character till the cows come home - but really, he's just a kid who beats off over a redhead in a coma.

• Full Metal Panic is a series that establishes a norm, does so quickly, and sticks through it through the series. There are allowances made for domestic zanyness and slapstick, but you really don't see anything TOO shocking, which is what makes this all the more ludicrous. This is anime, after all. During the 42nd episode of the franchise (that's The Second Raid series, ep 6 if anybody is counting), we witness a phone call received by the villain Gates, who is known at this point to be irrational, violent, and emotionally unstable. Here, we get to see his softer side. He answers the phone, not wearing a shirt. Pan out--okay, he's not wearing anything. Playing on a projector screen behind him is video of adorable kittens playing. In his hand is a box of tissues, from which he pulls at least 30 during the course of the call, and gestures wildly with the wad of kleenex while his junk is discreetly hidden behind a gyrating wind-up monkey. Cut to a close-up of his blushing face as he gazes with tenderness at the kittens, as if in apology for redirecting his attention elsewhere and a promise to return quickly. The video switches to a visual report of the latest battle that he's being briefed on, and then when the call is disconnected, reverts to video of a squirrel. At the sight of the squirrel, he flies into a rage, yelling and leaping about the room. Evidently, squirrels are not Gates's favorite creature. You think you get to know a series and BAM! It drops kitten masturbation with wind-up monkeys on you. Suddenly everything you *thought* you knew was suspect, you turn every corner with the fear of finding all you know and love desecrated, your innocence shattered. You know, as if by watching anime you hadn't already given up your innocence. Hey, can't blame a girl for wishful thinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hedSZ9BCX4 At 17:30.

• &#64;Marsten:I am certainly not surprised, Manga Entertainment is like Troma for anime(with Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell and Blood being rare exceptions). @Sean:HEAVY METAL FOREVER!!!

• It might not be the most ridiculous thing out there, but the best weird anime moment that I've ever seen, by far, would have to be the opening scene from Weiss Kreuz. WK is already one of those shows that just sounds like a punchline. It's about four pretty-boy assassins who kill off bad guys bent on nefarious acts of villainry, which, based on the show, mostly involves kidnapping random teenage girls and chopping them up into pieces for little or no reason. And the assassins are all codenamed after cat breeds, and they run a flower shop, because apparently nobody suspects the florist. It's pretty godawful. Anyhow, the show opens with a generic lovey-dovey pair of teens kissing in the rain. Girlfriend has papers to write; boyfriend teases her about working too hard and promises to see her in the morning. He climbs onto his motorcycle, turns back to wave…and is promptly killed when a flying van falls off the overpass and hits him. I mean goddamn. It's obvious that a cute, happy couple in the first three minutes of a series about assassins are doomed from the start, but a flying minivan?? "How'd your boyfriend die?" "God dropped a '91 Chrysler on him." It's a toss-up for me which is the best part of the whole thing; that the explosion looks like something a four year old drew while having a seizure, or that the boyfriend drives away from the safe sidewalk, pauses exactly underneath the falling death-mobile and then waits for it to hit him. It's like he somehow understood what kind of series this was going to be and decided to get out while he still could. Smart move, buddy. As for me, I've seen a lot of anime before and since, but I've never seen anything that made quite as much of an impression—or made me laugh so hard—as WK's Death From Above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRXfLLt0pXM

• The episode of Keroro Gunso, a normally fun kids show that turned into something horribly, horribly awful in one afternoon for me, as I recall... Normally I have no problem watching it in the same room as my family, but this one made me ashamed to live. In this episode in particular main cast got infected with a "drill disease" that made them grow a drill-style horn on their head. How did they transmit the disease from one person to the next? Why a drill up the ass of the uninfected, of course. Once it stopped, it didn't stop. What was normally a good show quickly turned into eye rape. I woke up and found myself crying in a cold sweat later that night. One character's eyes got replaced for drills, and the unsaid gay character purposefully allowed for his booster shot. The noises the characters were emitting through all of this can only be described as satanic. Incidentally, this show has had a Happy Meal Toy line. Incidentally, I can now never look at a Happy Meal and be happy ever again.

• Carmelldansen. That is all. Also, though it is not anime, those naked guys who sing and just wear fig leaves. They sing "Yatta!". Scarred for life. That can never be unseen.

• i submit an anime that i never knew the name of. come along with me on a journey of a boy and his first "adult kiss". sitting on a park bench, alone in the night, a young couple bask in the passions of first love. it comes time for the kissin, and the young girl and boy share their first kiss with tongues. a scene follows of the boy describing this sensation in voice over, while we admire two extremely detailed tongues rubbing and stroking eachother. no faces, or heads, or mouths. just the tongues. the screen goes black. when the next scene starts, we are looking through the boy's eyes. he is looking in front of him, confused. he wonders why he blacked out and where his sweet heart has gone. then we switch our point of view. he had turned into a gruesome monster. as he opens his mouth to call for his lady, the upper half of her body falls out of his enormous mouth much to his confusion. he coughs up all of her blood with it. and that is all i saw. if you've seen this, or know what it is, tell me so that i know i didn't see this in my own dreams.

• I know single entries are allowed only, but I have to try again because people are seemingly blocking out the most truly godawful and ludicrous of all that could be mentioned: Heavy Metal. Canadians think they can make anime. Even get John fucking "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" Candy to soil his career with this film. I'll repeat that: CANADIANS! ANIME! BAD! There is nothing good, interesting (unless you're a creepo who likes poorly drawn breasts) or redeemable about this film. The whole runtime of this film is like some kind ripoff of Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen shorts, only not funny on purpose. To reference my last post, I'd rather watch the final movie for Evangelion, on loop. Fuckin' Canada.

• Hmm, the competition here is incredibly stiff. It seems that I have no choice but to exploit a loophole in the rules. Anime, as I'm sure we all know, is the Japanese term for animation, and the rules state that it is looking for the most ludicrous moment in anime. However, what the rules do <em>not</em> state is that it has to be <em>Japanese</em> animation. And it is through this that I submit what is no doubt my only hope in hell at garnering as little as an honorable mention. I submit the works of Don Hertzfeldt; I'm sure we're all familiar with "Rejected," so here's one I hope is less familiar to those looking at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUBBsA9wvXQ "Don Hertzfeldt 's Shorts from The Animation Show [High Quality]"

• samurai with pink hair and a weird fashion sense driving a car for the first time? i don't think this could get any more ludicrous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34P4iArGXKg

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUJzYSswcj0

• also, gurren langun ending has my vote, its like WTF O_o

• i dont know name of the movie, someone if u know it post, some buffed out guy named raspution after jumping off a pyrimid in the sky while being shot by 3 helocopters machine guns pulls one down with his bare fists and then tosses it at the other 2 ~_~ while bleeding....he then gets hit by sniper fire and it just gets wierder

• Okay, I'm going to go old school and nominate Voltron episode 19. Yeah, all of Voltron (Golion. Whatevs.) is ludicrous, but "The Buried Castle" is especially awesome. So, these really stupid children discover a castle that no one noticed before sitting in the middle of the woods. It also shows up on camera, where the V-Force scratch their heads while Coran babbles something about a legend. So Pidge says he's going to go check it out, taking a space mouse with him, just in case of you know, an emergency. Pidge and the kids enter the castle, only to be yanked up by a mysterious force and held upside down in the bell. Not the bell tower, inside the actual bell. Then, because I guess of the high roaming fees on Arus, Pidge sends the space mouse back to the castle to get help, rather than call. Six months later, the mouse arrives at the real castle, and the Voltron Force leap into action. Attacked by skeletons, all but Keith rush inside, only to end up trapped with Pidge inside the bell. Keith is left on the roof, so he has a front row seat for the robeast that pops up, attaches some cables to the castle, and proceeds to take off with it, so it can fly it through space to the planet Doom. And then it gets ludicrous. Keith climbs one of the cables, gets shot at, hangs upside down, is shot at some more, is knocked off, falls, lands on an enemy ship that just happens to be going past, climbs it, smashes the windshield, shoots the pilot, crawls in, and crash lands it right at the feet of his robot lion. He then proceeds to take off so he can cut the cables and send his team falling to a horrific crushing death. I don't remember what my 10 year old self thought, but re-watching it after I got the DVD left me speechless from the insanity. The episode is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eWTVGdlskU the true ludicrousness starts around the 16 minute mark. Of course, it looks less like what actually happened and more like what Keith *said* happened later at the bar. "No shit, there I was..." "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, Buddy. Just keep paying for rounds."

• Ok, you want weird? Land Defense Force Mao-Chan. Here a link to the intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXSQzFb5j90 Three 8 year olds, granddaughters of 3 high ranking members of the JSDF (Air Force, Army and Navy) have to fight off an alien invasion. Why? Because only they can withstand the cuteness of the aliens, which are animated plushies. To that end they transform into marching band costumes, which give them NO ABILITIES. And to help them? They get 1:1 plastic scale models of a Harrier jet, a Tiger tank (ww2), and the Alvin deep sea vehicle. To top it all off, Most of the BGM is a single piano. It's a good thing that the eps are just 10 minutes because I can only handle that much sweetness per day or I'll get diabetes. If you think you can handle this much sugar, here's the first ep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFokB3WQSd4

• This is the last comment, I promise. First of all, a lot of you people are mentioning hentai, not anime, which I think someone pointed out. And yeah, hentai can be pretty darn ludicrous. Second, this isn't an entry, but if you want to hear about a show that's pretty ludicrous, in that it shouldn't exist AT ALL, read this (it's awesome): http://www.animejump.com/index.php?module=prodreviews&func=showcontent&id=641 Also, from the same site comes a pretty amusing tirade about a show "Leppy" mentioned, Mad Bull: http://www.animejump.com/index.php?module=prodreviews&func=showcontent&id=115

• &#64;Shannon Townsend: "A-ra-ra-ra-ra!" Also, Hand Maid May was a big disappointment. For about three seconds I thought that show might be a cool merge between a Chobits-flavored lovey show and a harem comedy, but it didn't go anywhere, had one-note characters, and had a laughably convenient and lame ending. But I still, to this day, think that blonde robot (quoted above) is fucking funny.

• A few people have mentioned Sailor Moon either in passing or for having a ludicrous moment. Someone even mentioned the end battle with Sailor Galaxia from the Sailor Stars season. Sailor Stars is a seriously fucked up season. It's more bizarre than the other seasons for sure. Each season of the Sailor Moon anime had at least a few moments that were so "strange" or "shocking" that they were censored in America. But Sailor Stars takes the cake because the new soldiers that are introduced are boys....BUT TRANSFORM INTO GIRLS. That's right. The Sailor Starlights are male pop idols (albeit androgynous ones) in their everyday lives, but become busty, feminine female soldiers when it's time for battle. If that wasn't weird and non-sequitur enough, check out this gem. It's a video of one of the Sailor Starlight's main attacks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AOpt-xxuys&NR=1 You heard it. You can't unhear it. He/she said "Star Gentle Uterus". Besides the attack name being unbelievably ridiculous (and a little grody), it's also really convoluted. How the hell can an attack be gentle? And since when is a uterus dangerous? We'll never know, I don't think. Maybe I'm just not Japanese enough to figure it out.

• While the whole of Dead Leaves could pretty much fit into this category I have to nominate the scene where Retro is in prison, strapped up in a straight-jacket and a giant hose is inserted to remove all his pooh, leading to the line, "You crap too much!". It was the first anime I ever saw and I have been scarred ever since.

• And with all that said. I vote for whoever first brought up the fact that the Universe turns into a giant mecha in Gurren Lagen, that is definitively the most Ludicrous thing I have ever seen.

• You know, i really get bugged by people who judge all anime by just a few described scenes. Yes some Anime get to be way off the deep end, and most hentai are just f*&%ing ridiculous, but come on, you are judging an entire cultural life style based on a few random things. There are plenty of Good series out there. Reading through this, I see a ton of responses to the same shows in this contest. There are other shows out there, and plenty of good movies too. In american television there are limits to what you would normaly see in a cartoon. And pretty much all of it will be for children. In Japan, animation is for everyone, and can cover any genre, from comedy to action to romance. It just aggravates me that I see a bunch of people saying all anime sucks, because some of them are weird or out there. Maybe in a couple weeks Rob can do a Greatest Anime Moment, and people will see there are some great shows out there too.

• I'm with Bill and C. This entire contest has been a reaffirmation of my dislike of anime. I don't blanketly hate the genre, as some of my all time favorite animated series/movies are anime. But the glut of ridiculous crap sure makes it hard to really give the Japanese the credit they're due. I mean they can make visual masterpieces like Paprika and Spirited Away. But the 1% of awesome anime, seems to get blotted out by the 99% of utterly bizarre crap they produce. My ludicrous anime moments are a few. The first being the movie "X". At the time it came out in the states, I was at the height of my love for Anime. Things like Princess Mononoke, Akira and Cowboy Beebop had blown my mind. And I was pretty sure that the Japanese were the new Gods of animation. Then I went to go see X, because it sounded like badass action. It was the first Anime movie I'd seen released into a theater, so it had to be awesome, right!? What it ended up being was a movie about a boy who cradled severed heads like babies, and extensive exposition. Someone would turn into a dragon or something, and spend 5 minutes explaining that they just turned into a dragon. Way to tell the story in the least engaging way possible. Scriptwriting 101: show don't tell. Then ultimately someone would lose their head in a fight, and the stereotypical emo-boy lead character would get distraught over that persons death, and hug their recently severed head close to his heart. What the fuck dude? I mean once was fucking weird, but it happened entirely too many times in that movie. This was when I began to question Anime. Surely this was a one-off film, and anime wasn't really bad storytelling with obscenely fucked up plot elements! The next step in my fall from Anime's grace was a series I can't even remember the name for. My friend started renting it thinking it'd be cool. It was about a guy and girl, and super powers and robots. Typical anime stuff. Except it turns out the boy and girl are brother and sister, and they've been slowly falling in love since the first episode. As the series continues it becomes their struggle to stay incestuously together, while the forces of evil (or as I would call them, common sense) try to pull them apart. After a few episodes I refused to continue watching them try and make incest seem normal and acceptable. The final straw was Fooly Cooly (FLCL) or whatever it's called. I only saw most of the 3rd episode. The one where it jumps to manga for entirely too long and goes from making no sense, to making nonsense. I'm pretty sure that show was created with the intent of making people think that the creators were on drugs. The fact of the matter is that people on drugs can't come up with the kind of ridiculous nonsense that happens in Fooly Cooly. If they had been on drugs it might've actually been good. But this reminded me of when people who haven't done drugs try and recreate what being on drugs is like, and are completely wrong. Well this was people trying to make a show that looked like it was created by people on drugs, by people who had never done drugs, hoping that people would assume they had. This show is just absolute nonsense for the sake of being nonsensical. It's one of those shows that people only know about because it's about a girl on a moped who smacks a kid in the head with a guitar so that robots can grow out of his forehead. It's because this show is so over the top in it's out-of-the-box concepts, that people feel the need to watch it and share the utter insanity with others. Is there actually a story or a plot? I've never heard of anyone talk about it. All that's worth repeating is that it makes no goddamned sense, and apparently that makes it awesome....or in my book, horrible. Basically if you go over this whole list, it pretty much reminds me of why I stopped watching random anime. For the most part, they're just absurd and stupid. A quality anime series or film, can be the best of their kind on the planet. Hands down. But everything else, is just about the worst of it's kind on the planet. The exposition, the nonsense, the bad flapping mouth static animation, the chibbi silliness, the sense of humor that doesn't translate, and the pervasively creepy perv factor doesn't add up to awesome in my book these days. Anime itself has ruined me on anime. Now a days, for me to actually watch an anime movie/series, it has to come with a spec-fucking-tacular review from someone who isn't blindly devoted to the genre. ....or it just needs to be made by Studio Ghibli or directed by Satoshi Kon.

• I am going with the Raping of Tokyo Tower(who loved it by the way) care of a Mr. Krauser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRvfSDPT-Rw Despite of the absurdity of it all, the followers reactions really make this scene(and that's impressive, given the main character is truly giving his all into pleasing the tower). I laugh every time. Krauser Jr. was also mint

• The entire final episode of Gurren Lagann. Brace for spoilers. With only the power of love, fighting, and spirit, Simon and about 20 other people form a giant, flaming robot that's about 1,000 square trillion parsecs large to fight another, more evil robot the same size. They battle through the universe, throwing galaxies at each other like blade disks and then the bad guy fires a beam that's as powerful as the big bang, CREATING new galaxies while blasting the good guys. Then a guy becomes an enormous drill which Gurren Lagann absorbs and blah blah crazy holy crap awesome. Spoilers over.

• Gah, damn my typos. That was 'Captain EO wins.' Noticed that less than a full second after I hit 'post'.

• Captain EO ends. All future entries are pointless. Everyone: Thank you for playing. I hope we can all do this again some time.

• wow.. just.. wow, i thought mine was pretty ludicrous but... Captain EO, i tip my hat to you.

• Can I just say that, Capsulesn'Coffee, Angel Cop was licenced in the UK by Manga Entertainment. Are we surprised? Nah!

• While the previous scene from Prince of Tennis was pretty freaking ridiculous, I could at least pass it off as a goofy metaphor for how powerful a character is, since that idea gets used a lot in anime and the end result is jut the ball bouncing past the kid. This clip, on the other hand, can't be reasoned away. There are rocket tennis balls, columns of fire, a tidal wave that looks like a scene from the Poseidon Adventure, underwater tennis, an electrically charged explosive tennis ball, and glowing young boys flying through the clouds in pursuit of the ball like they're playing quidditch (one of whom ends up as a naked being of pure light). When the camera turns back to the court, it has been destroyed because all of this madness actually happened! As the poster of the video says, even the creator of the manga laughed at how bad it is. What really makes this ridiculous is that the premise of the show isn't people in giant robot suits killing interdimensional vampire demons who have tentacle genitalia or whatever generic psychological-problem-as-anime-plot you want to start from; it's about kids playing tennis, albeit with finishing moves as if Mortal Kombat took place in Arthur Ashe Stadium. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLYjEOD6AsA&feature=trelated Also, tekkie, thank you. I've been trying to remember the name of Paranoia Agent for weeks. There is a part in a Jason Mraz song that make me think of the Paranoia Agent theme every time I hear it. That was a wonderfully odd show

• Fuck and Piss! sorry about the spell check tom foolery in the first paragraph.

• So very many insane anime moments to choose from... I guess i have to go with the hilariously excessive Angel Cop. The OVA series revolves around a sociopatic ice queen who is part of a secret government operation to irradiate left-wing terrorists, then for some reason ultraviolet physic vigilantes who look like an 80's hair metal band come into play,as do armed to the teeth cyborgs and a shady nuclear waste dumping conspiracy. One of the most ludicrous moments involves our aforementioned operatives raiding a terrorist hideout and employing horribly excessive force. The new-york accented, chest bearing numb nuts who burst into the hideout guns blazing is now interrogating the leader for information, with absolutely no knowledge of the pistol wielding chick about to cap him from behind. Before she can kill the dumbshit, she is shot through the chest, painting the walls with blood. No one could still pose a threat after that? right?Apparently so, because another bullet goes straight through the poor gals forehead,at this point she is obviously dead, with brains and blood leaking from her head and all, but no the shooter is against open casket funerals and shoots another bullet into gals head, resulting in her brains exploding all over the place. Apparently this is standard procedure because the dumbshit cop muses how this act of overkill was EXACTLY by the books. Seriously watch the video I have linked if you need proof, and stay tuned shortly after the epic brain exploding to see that the savior of the dumbshit cop is A. A woman!!! and B,. what follows is one of the most ridiculous helmet-taking off to reveal the stranger is really chick in the history of ever. Also the English Dub is hilariously terrible :"Fuck and Piss!" and "If this is justice, than I'm a banana!" are true gems.

• Alright, I'm throwing the towel in. My most ludicrous moment comes from Fushgi Yuugi. Bit of background first: Fushigi Yuugi is about a girl called Miaka, who I'm fairly certain is the stupidest and most irritating character in the history of anime (yes, I have seen Naruto), who reads a magic book and gets sucked into ancient China, where she becomes a priestess and has adventures with a bunch of gorgeous men, yada yada yada. Anyway, my personal WTF moment comes in episode 6, when Miaka is lured into an alternate dimension by a lavish feast and sealed in (told you she was dumb) and her evil mirror duplicate is sent to attack her friends. So Miaka decides (without even thinking about it) that she and the duplicate must be connected so if she kills herself, her friends will be saved. So she does. With a plate. Yes, she has an entire table, presumably with cutlery on it, and she commits suicide with a smashed piece of plate. Which somehow works. This isn't even the end. On being informed that she's lost too much blood and is going to die (from being stabbed by a plate), her two love interests announce that they'll give her their blood. Which they do by cutting themselves and dripping blood on her (note that by now the wound has been bandaged so they're not even bleeding into an open wound, they're just messing up the bandage). Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen.

• Most ludicrous moment I've ever seen in an anime is easy. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack they have <i>Inflatable Battleships to confuse radar and act as decoys,</i> <b>in fucking space.</b> I'll take my prize now.

• I started mentally flashing on Riki-oh (live action and anime versions), then I remembered my first encounter with legend of the overfiend (urotsukidoji), and finally I remembered a fateful anime club moment when we watched episode 1 of Angel Tales. Get this, A guy that failed at taking care of his pets when he was younger, has them reincarnate into 12 moe girls(angels) whom vie for his affection! Yes, a dead pet reincarnation harem anime! /shiver. WRONG, very wrong.

• &#64;McTool Now now now, my girlfirend knows I play eroge and is fine with it. I use the fact that she likes Twilight (blargh) to balance it all out. Now, haven't played one with her around. There was a guy over on ANN like last week who says he not only got his gf to play an eroge together with him, but the one they played was saya no uta. SAYA NO UTA, where you have sex with a girl who turns out to be Cthulhu (I am not making this up) and take part is several gruesome murders. yeah. So it can happen, its just not the likeliest of outcomes.

• The last Devil Man OVA ,at the flashback of the awakening of Devil Man ,where he takes out the boobs of the wasp monster woman and swallow it whole @__@ And then the anti-demon angry mob cut off the head of devil man's girl friend's head and stick it on a spear and parade on the street just because they can and just because she makes out with him (burning her would be more appropraite) and just because it's a fucking anime.

• This is a manga moment rather than an anime moment, but it involves a paraplegic cowboy, raptors and Jesus in a perfectly logical context, so I think it's worth it. Part 7 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The villain of the week Dr. Ferdinand has the ability to turn people into raptors, and then control them. Ferdinand, like most of the villains in Part 7, is after the body parts of The Saint (Aka Jesus Christ). Absorbing these body parts grants you additional cool powers. Hero Johnny Joestar has absorbed the arm, which in addition to letting him launch his fingernails like bullets, purifies his body, protecting him from Ferdinand's power. The bad news is, Johnny is paraplegic and lying on the ground, so Ferdinand and his raptors are getting ready to waltz over and curb stomp the unfortunate crippled cowboy. But wait, Dr. Ferdinand! Johnny doesn't understand your personal philosophy and motivation! It would be immoral to kill him before taking a few pages to explain that. So yada yada yada, respect the earth, geology is cool (Yes, it turns out the evil doctor is an evil geologist.), background information over, let's get back to the fighting. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9784/43784515.jpg But what's this? While Ferdinand was dictating his life story to his army of maneating dinosaurs, Johnny completely disregarded his bullshit and ripped Jesus's arm out of himself. Now that he no longer has built in protection against devolution, he uses his shiny new pair of raptor limbs to leap up and beat the geology out of Ferdinand, undoing the transformations before he loses control of his mind. To summarize, in a shonen, the genre generally known for battle plans that consist of "I'll just keep using my signature attack while being more endearingly determined than my enemy!" Johnny came up with "I'm going to ignore this 'talking is a free action' crap, rip Jesus's arm out of body, turn into a raptor, and start tearing shit up." And that is beautiful.

• I've watched so much animu over the years that I can't honestly pick a single moment that I think is crazier than everything else. And I've been waiting for an honest-to-god anime contest, too. Dammit. I can narrow it down to three (and at this point I'm just sharing, not entering, I suppose): - The first six minutes of Elfen Lied (after the minute and a half intro). When I was in my sophomore, the president of our anime club (which I went on to helm my senior year) brought this in, and my good friend (and fellow TR reader) Lee had the common sense to go "NO YOU CAN'T SHOW THAT IN A HIGH SCHOOL." A year later, I downloaded the show (two years later, I bought it, so don't call me out on killing the industry), and after the first 8 minutes, I was fully aware of why my friend killed the meeting. Multiple murders with all types of dismemberment? A naked girl covered in blood? My club president must have been on crack. There are other portions of the series that are just as ridiculous, or more so (some have been pointed out here), but that's the one that sticks with me. - Obligatory hentai mention: I was at a convention, and there was late night in the hotel room, and someone had the bright idea to watch hentai, and we decided we needed messed up stuff, and a show I can't even remember the name of (hereafter referred to as Pollen Girls, because I think that was the title) was put on. What. The. Hell. The premise of this show: When people get allergies, they don't sneeze, they suddenly get blowjobs and sex from girls with little antennas. Like, pollen floats in the air. You smell it. Then it turns into a totally hot babe who starts blowing you, because you NEED TO BE BLOWN. Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing (a world with no sneezing and blowjobs all the time? Hot damn!), but goddamn if it isn't messed up. - The final bit of lunacy: the fact that Saki deals with Kosaka throughout the entirety of Genshiken. Seriously, whoever thought that happens in real life was dead wrong. Here's how it really pans out: - Saki meets Kosaka - Kosaka is a giant nerd, but is really good looking - Saki tries for a week to convert Kosaka, but Kosaka's obsession with porn games comes into play - As soon as that comes into play, Saki is GONE Yeah. That's relationship ludicrousy. One might even call it madness.

• I always liked the part in Wicked City where Taki punches straight through his opponent's face. Actually, many of the action scenes had some kind of crazy-awesome thing happening. I think the face-punch begins around 1:05. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK3rx4VpXCU

• I honestly can't think of an entry myself (bad memory, but I am an anime fan). But something to get out here :p It's just evident how many readers ARE anime fans, judging from the number of entries already. I do wonder though, why people whine about anime news? What if I don't care about Star Trek news or something to do with RP dice? Deal with it and accept it, because it's all a part of something called the nerd community :p ...beside I found this site through the plug on Anime News Network where Rob reviews anime toys, so you know he's a fan :p

• Marsten I remember Manga Entertainment, I think I saw a few of theirs Wicked City, and MD Geist, after that I knew it was known for crap and stayed away from majority of their titles. If i saw the Manga Entertainment symbol I knew never to get, I was a quick learner. To all the haters of anime, its just like any other medium their is crap in all genres in all shapes and forms, this is just showing the lowest of the lows, so don't try and take it that all animes are bad. A lot of these examples are being taken out of context. I know the one I posted was, I just didn't want to get into a length explanation of the show. All i can say is watch Cowboy Bebop if you somehow hate this show, than you can be safe to say their wouldn't be anime in the world you would ever like.

• Going waaay back into the anime archives, I must submit Future Boy Conan (the entire series) for this contest. I know you asked for a single moment, but the whole damn thing is just so goofy. THe world was destroyed (in July 2008 no less), and Conan thinks he and his grandfather are the only people left in the world. A girl washes up on shore and eventually gets kidnapped, leading Conan on a grand adventure. This is one of the earliest works by Hayao Miyazaki. Unfortunatly, approximately 50% of the dialogue is either "Lana" or "Conan". Also, there are several occasions where Conan takes out a plane using only his hunting spear, and then jumps from said plane to the ground, without any real repercussions. However, the high point of ridiculousness has to be when Conan scales the outside of the Triangle Tower, (The Bad Guys' HQ) and knocks on the window of Lana's jail cell, which is about 30 stories up. The window has a ledge approximately an inch wide, and Conan is standing on his tiptoes. Then when they come into the room, he hangs below the window, falls off, lands on his legs, and in the next scene, is seen walking comfortably. (Just like real life). I couldn't find the scene, but here is an AMV of the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdbjztapk6o&feature=related

• You people leave Escaflowne alone >_> My most ludicrous moment comes from the god awful english dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. Despite my love for the show, I will be the first to admit that it's whole premise is completely ludicrous: Take Sailor Moon, replace the main characters with various kemono-mimi (a cat girl, a wolf girl, etc.) and thats your show. But putting that aside, the good people at 4kids made many mind-numbing alterations when they tried to put the show on Saturday mornings. In this particular episode one of the characters is conflicted and goes to a christian church to pray. Thankfully the good folks at 4Kids knew what to do: they removed the horizontal bar from all the crosses. Yes, that's right, our character is now wearing a big stick around her neck and is praying to a giantic pillar in the church. No explaination is given; I can only imagine that the poor souls who saw the english dub now believe that Japan has some crazy stick worshiping cult. Images where hard to come by and I can't bear the dub (or knowingly subject others to it) so here's the best I could find: http://mmpu.smuncensored.com/ep10a.jpg http://mmpu.smuncensored.com/ep10b.jpg

• Hehe, Elijah beat me to it

• Jaysun Lynch; I think it's even more ludicrous that Master Roachi had already destroyed the moon to make Goku revert back from his Oozaru form when Piccolo destroyed it ;)

• To be fair, the moon had already been destroyed once or twice in the older Dragon Ball series (and did, in fact, create an angry werewolf, sort of)--I don't know if it's weirder for it to be destroyed, or for it to constantly regenerate.

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFA_XBAfsRw Forgot to send my link.

• I am so surprised I haven't seen this on the comments so far, and if it is, sorry I didn't search hard enough. Its very hard to pick BAT SHIT CRAZY anime moments, because they typically are an entire series. 80's anime is full of these moments. Everyone is on the right track, Dragonball. A HIGHLY Revered (in both contexts) anime. For some, the only one they've seen. And that's fine, but they only watched the Namek stuff. Here's the kicker. Piccolo trains Gohan, and this is the beginning of the show so Dinosaurs and Pig Men are still among the "z-Warriors." Gohan has a tail, and can turn into a big monkey man, we all know this. You can't train a kid with a propensity for simian transformation, he could get caught in a maassive monkey mudball. Instead Piccolo, rightfully, has an incredible plan. Get the tail, but lets take that further. TAKE OUT THE MOON! Yeah Piccolo, we don't need that shit! I believe physicists have found that the moon is not too essential to the ocean's tidal formation, but I'm sure there would be some repercussions there, as well as or orbit and a plethora of werewolves with no hope for "fine dining." Is it the craziest thing? No, but for an anime that people have adored for years (and some hate, ah well) this has to top any ridiculous event that occurs. A strong second is the remastered version on funimation's new releases. When Goku dies the first time, watch the episode and see how "timely" the break music/animation is. (Hint, it is not at all timely, and emotionally jarring for anyone under the age of 10). There is my nominee.

• Wow, after reading some of these posts I'm pretty glad that I don't watch anime.

• Jojo. Tank Lorry. This was a meme itself, and spawned a few more: http://dagobah.biz/flash/Tank_Lorry.swf

• Marsten; I actually payed 340SEK for GenoCyber on VHS, (26£/45$ for ONE tape). Being an anime nerd in Sweden before broadband and fan-subs was a blast ^^ However, I found GenoCyber enjoyable. Not even close to "good" and not memorable for anything but the violence, but it was kind of how you enjoy a cheesy sci-fi movie from the 80s, today.

• I suspect I'm a bit older than most of the other people who've posted here (most, I said), because I remember the early 90s before shows like Dragonball were hot. So, all of these I'm going to mention are old-school. And to tell the truth, the last anime show I watched was Ghost in the Shell. Really, I think I realised that most of it is just random, insane shit. Now in the early 90s, just after Akira hit it big, we had a company here in the UK called 'Manga Entertainment'. They released anime, dubbed (often quite badly) all over the UK. I think they're still around, but I haven't checked. Anyway, because it was the early 90s, they wanted to do two things- 1- Make their name synonymous with this new 'anime' stuff. So everything they released, they called it 'manga'. Perfect product branding; like when you think of miniature wargaming, you think of Warhammer. For that reason, a large number of British people over 25 still only really know what you mean if you mention 'manga', not 'anime'. 2- Make it EXTREME!!! Now, I don't mean 'extreme', I mean EXTREME!!! Manga Entertainment's releases were chosen or edited to be the Rob Leifeld of the anime world. And if a film wasn't EXTREME!!! enough, they'd change it. Yes, you youngsters may get your panties in a bunch because 4-Kids translate honorifics differently or some piddly shit like that, but in our day, changes meant something. For example... Violence Jack I'm not sure when I first seen Violence Jack. Made by the same person as Devilman (more on that later), Violence Jack is an excellent example of EXTREME!!! Take for example, this clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dsyQuRoM5U How charming. But still, was this show going to be EXTREME!!! enough for Manga Entertainment? Fuck no. How could they make it even more 'adult'? Well, tacking in as much gratuitous swearing as possible might work, eh? Presenting, the perfect example of the anime that we in the UK had in the early 90s! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipr-wS5iBv0 This OVA was made by Go Nagai, a man who (with the possible exception of Love Hina) is so talentless and so purile in his approach to creating shows, that he felt that a 'subtle' conclusion for his Devilman OVA would be to have a topless, large-breasted enemy demon woman screaming "Help me Lord Satan, help me!" (Manga Entertainment translation again). Manga Entertainment were evil, evil people. If you want further proof, consider that they released the full 12-episode series 'The Guyver' in half-episode VHS tapes. That's one tape per cassette. At roughly £10 a tape. With the same quality dubbing seen above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxMTVoa5Elo - Would you pay £120 for THIS? Not even the mutant lovechild of The Riddler and Magneto would think up something so diabolically evil. Now, with that example fresh in your minds, let me introduce you to... Legend of the Four Kings This series was DREADFUL. It was an unforgotten shoujo series made by CLAMP, who only the endless purveyors of crap Manga Entertainment were willing to touch with a 10-foot pole. It wasn't in itself a bad show; it had a decent premise, four brothers who transform into dragons. But in execution, it was abominable. It's really hard to pin down what was worst about this show. The dialogue is possibly the worst, with translation leading to lines like "You mean I was born an orphan?". Picking on the lines makes me sound like I'm blaming this show's awfulness on the translation. No, it sucks even in the original Japanese. I've picked some especially awful sequences from the show, but really, the entire thing needs to be watched to see just how mind-numbingly dreadful each series of events possibly is. Some of the highlights include: - A bad guy who feeds his minions to his pet giant goldfish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnnBvaWn6jE - The four brothers accidently wondering into the middle of an army firing range http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHQAT3dW_RE - A fairground getting held up by men in mascot costumes with guns hidden inside their trumpets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbr_qRiIiX4 - Their river cruise being interrupted by Doctor Claw, who proceeds to blow himself up for some reason http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9qqHgBTyAM - The vile enemy, Lady L (to which one of the brothers quips "I wonder if that's because she has an L-sized bust") trying to get one of the brothers to change into a dragon by hopping his balony pony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3ns_OU734 - an evil doctor who eats human flesh and makes lampshades out of people's skin, and creates masked cyborg assassins out of dead people, and whose only goal in life is to tie naked teenage boys to tables and stroke them in a sinister manner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs_5hjwPwAg - Frequent 'just bloody idiotic' sequences such as destroying the crazy machine from Robocop 2 using a coin, wine bottles, and various other bits of useless crap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_QfmDVVqis - Stealing a tank, riding it around Tokyo, and in the process making quips about the poor state of the Japanese military. The tank eventually is stopped by running over a stone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb-myTB41EQ - Gratuitous teenage boy nudity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgHBM-b9ds4 - The entire Tokyo police force chasing the four brothers all around town, waving their batons and making 'oi oi oi' noises http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dcInLyT6oQ - Crazy doctor unable to cut through one of the brother's dragon scale skin, and eventually ripping his eye out instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwFxOH8BmBA& - And at the end, it was all a dream! This show blows! It blows so hard that it sucks, it sucks so hard that it blows, it sucks and blows at the same time. It's just packed full of this bizarre, fucked-up and generally insane shit, and yet at the same time manages to be SPECTACULARLY BORING. I mean, some of it may SOUND fun, but actually watching it is like having your teeth pulled out one by one, only to have them replaced with a giant mechanical metal jaw that only opens when it's oiled with the tears of baby seals. I think a lot of that's down to the fact that the 'comedy' moments never work, veering from slapstick to political satire without any rhyme or reason. The action sequences are uninspired, the characters are all very, very boring, the voice acting is about as enthusiastic as a home full of very sedated old people, and when you consider this it's pretty clear just why this show is out of print and has been since its initial release. It's all on youtube if, for some reason, you want to see it (maybe you're feeling suicidal, and want your brain to try to burst free from your skull in rebellion), and the curses of a thousand dying suns on you all for making ME go back and dig this lot out. Every single damn minute of this show was ludicrous in ways you can't possibly imagine. So why did we ever watch such a thing? Well, because that's really all we had. They eventually stuck it on Chanel 4 at their 2am on Saturday slot, as part of their Manga lineup for a while (something akin to the 9th circle of hell), where it screened with some other shows. But even compared to them, Legend of the Four Kings was bad. And the company it kept during that tv run was, well... We had Fist of the North Star, We had Genocyber, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63_bylHgHlw We had Mad Bull, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbXZz7VEdHE We had 3x3 Eyes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuYnPJFgBM8 We had Wicked City, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXOP6rbUvlM And we had heavily edited Urotsukodoji, which I am NOT going to look for. Find it yourselves if you must. My brain can't handle any more fucked-up shit today. In short, we had shit anime. But even compared to the worst, most putrid and godawful dregs that Manga Entertainment could drag from the pits of Japan's anime barrel (and trust me, I fully expect that half of the shows Manga got licence for, was given away by the Japanese companies as a form of torture to inflict on the west), Legend of the Four Kings was undoubtably the worst. Every living second of this show is like having your eyesockets raped by a buffalo. I hate this show, I hate you if you like it, I hate everyone who was involved in making it. Every existing copy of it should be burned, as should everyone responsible for making it. If it wasn't so unknown, it would be locked away in a vault beneath the Antarctic, along with the last strain of smallpox and Britney Spears' sanity.

• I hate anime, and after reading these, I fully understand and believe I am right in doing so.

• I don't watch Anime, nor am I particularly fond of it. However, the most ridiculous anime moment for me is Naruto, both it's existence and popularity. Think about it for a second, Ninja's are stealthy, so why make a show where the main character is whiny, loud and draped in orange. A ninja should be able to drop from behind you and kill you in a moment's notice, not drape themselves in a color that any person could spot from 10 miles away.

• <BLOCKQUOTE>ALL anime is ludicrous, if you think about it.</BLOCKQUOTE> By virtue of being Japanese, it's ludicrous? That sounds pretty stupid.

• ALL anime is ludicrous, if you think about it.

• Hmmm, a lot of people have snapped up the obvious anime that have their share of ludicrous moments: Eva, Utena, FLCL, Paranoia Agent, Gurren Lagann, Fist of the North Star, and good show, but they slowly ease into the ludicrousness so you get used to it. (I think at least) Now, for my entry, I could mention one of the myriad "wacky" comedy anime, but that's just too easy, they thrive on that kind of stuff. Let's talk about a serious (or semi-serious) action show: Hellsing. Now, bear with me, becuase most of what I describe is still manga and hasn't been animated yet (right now the animation studio has animated into volume six) so SPOILERS BEWARE! Okay, so you basically have Alucard, this crazy powerful nigh immortal vampire who has killed tens of thousands of people throughout history. Then you have this Paladin from the Catholic Church, Anderson, who's job is to hunt down and kill vampires. They meet in London, and Anderson, who previously tried to kill Alucard but couldn't becuase he wasn't powerful enough/didn't have the right equipment, takes one of the nail's from Christ's cross, and sticks it into his heart. This then turns him into a creature that consists of thorny vines, yes, Christ's nail turns him into a plant. However, this plant is strong enough to actually stop bullets and do real damage to Alucard, but Alucard manages to rip out the nail, heart included, from Anderson's body and defeat him, and that's not even the most ludicrous moment, which come's later. So after this and a few more giant mega fights, Alucard ends up eating this little Nazi catboy named Schodinger, who could regenerate and teleport (he was the nazi's messenger boy of sorts). He was described as being "everywhere and nowhere", sort of like the famous cat in the Physicist Schodinger's thought experiment, which was alive and dead at the same time. After absorbing Schodinger into his body, Alucard all of a sudden has a problem: becuase he absorbed him into his body, Alucard now cannot exist as a living being anymore, becuase he has created a paradox and now has become "No more than a set of imaginary numbers." So he dies. Yes, the biggest, baddest, most powerful being in the entire world is killed by a mathematical paradox. Let that sink in for a minute, a vampire was KILLED BY MATH!

• the anime sequence in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 for Oren Ishii

• i'm retarded... link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMz26UXRD7g at about the 2 minute mark... look for the nose hair. gooooo Bobobo-Bobo-Bobo!

• dude, have you seen DETROIT METAL CITY? its just insane!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q7i8AISGkc just the ending of this trailer should win this contest

• Okay so I have not seen a lot of anime,but some how i end up watching some of the weirdest shit. The one I would like to nominate is Bobobo Bo bo-bo-bo... no really that its name. Basically this guy by the same name is, well, a 7 foot tall 300lb rebel, Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, who fights the Hair Hunt Troop (the bad guys) with his powerful "Fist of the Nose Hair"... Yes, his superpower is his NOSE HAIR. So I am well aware that this is lazing out a bit... but I can not even begin to explain the plot because the whole thing is nonsensical. So I added the link to the wiki page. Sorry but its the only way! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobobo-bo_Bo-bobo Don't worry there is a clip too, I could only find an English dubbed one though.. lame.

• Im really nobody has mentioned the series Gantz yet. Just wow, the violence and craziness of this series is probably the most insane ive ever seen and ive been watching anime since I was fairly young. The premise of it its Gantz, this weird black orb with an old comatose guy inside it, clones people at theier moment of death and makes them play a sorta of death match game, where these people have to fight aliens that exist on a different plane of reality as ours. Off the top of my head here are some of the aliens they have to kill. The Onion alien... week little dude obsessed with green onions... they kill him and piss of its older scarier deadly brother. The horde of robot guys who scream sonic waves, who actually have giant bird people inside of em. Gigantic Budha/warrior like statues that come to life. Smaller ones too, and then crazy gold statues of a Shiva like god who sprays acid and shoots lazers. Not to mention the batshit insane character interactions. Mianly between the male and female Kei's. The female Kei is just in a wolrd of messed up because she's the only one who cant go home after survivng. She died by suicide, but her other self ended up survivng death. I can go on and on about this, but watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reosOp0u9yA and while your at it, just watch the series on youtube, theyre on there.

• La Blue Girl At first this seems to be your standard tentacle raping henti. Ya she has a giant clit that she can fuck people with, but that is not the shocker. She can turn her pubic hairs into little steal spears and shoot them at, well the demon that is currently raping her. This magical clit porcupine is ludicrous not just because it is... well a clit porcupine, but due to censorship laws stemming from injunctions imposed on Japan by the USA after wwII they could not actually show the pubic hair, but it became ok to show when she turned them into the demon darts. You can watch it here if you really want, as a matter of fact you should since I had to find the thing. http://www.megaporn.com/video/?v=53RTHMM3 About 18:15 and this is about as NSFW as you can get. Since someone would comment, I also realize porcupines cannot shoot their quills, but I like the term clit porcupine.

• &#64;Telvaren leave Bible Black alone! It's the only anime I watch! lol Kitami for life!

• I rpobably love Yuusha-Ou GaoGaiGar FINAL more tha nany person should. It is quite simply the "Spinal Tap" of anime because everything is turned up to eleven. I mean let's go over what you get: 1. Aprotagonists who screams 90% of all their dialogue 2. Female transforming robots with flashing boobs to indicate when they should combine to make their gestalt 3. Female characters who have all gone up a cup size or two from their TV series incarnations 4. An antagonist dressed as a doctor, with butterfly wings and a giant hyperdermic needle strapped to his arm full of what is basically mood altering drugs and Space Steroids 5. The Goldion Crusher - The most absolute over the top final attack ever seen in anime... EVER !! So that being said, how can combining points 1 and 5 not be the most over the top insane thing EVER in anime? God bless Sunrise and Studio for making GaoGaiGar, the Anti-Evangelion.

• Okay so this is going to be a long moment but the whole thing definitely ranks as one of the most bizarre sequences of any anime I've seen (and hasn't been mentioned already). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv51zeP03L4 Welcome to the NHK is a messed up series all together but episode 1 takes the cake for me. The story revolves around Satou who is a NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) and a hikikomori (meaning acute social withdrawal). At some point in this episode (6:42 ish) Satou realizes that his situation (being a lazy ass wasting his life away) is due to the NHK (a Japanese broadcast company) who wants people to become just like him so they will stay in their house and watch more of their programs. Upon realizing this conspiracy (conspiracy is used about 50 times) Satou basically snaps and starts hallucinating all to sounds of some bizarre anime theme playing from his neighbor's apartment. Let's break this down: 1. He see's these fucked up NHK alien anime something or others laughing at him as his room begins to spin 2. He flashes back to high school where his friend explains to him the "conspiracies do exist" (no shit really!?) 3. Another flashback to some kid being beaten up, Satou tries to help and gets the crap kicked out of him as well (not sure what the hell this had to do with anything) 4. ANOTHER FLASHBACK of like 3 seconds of Satou yawning in homeroom... 5. Back to reality where Satou proclaims he has discovered the conspiracy... at which point his appliances come to life and begin agreeing with him... to which Satou doesn't even seem surprised, he just goes along with the fact that his refrigerator, tea kettle, computer (which looks fucking evil), TV, chair and printer are all talking to him and have crazy creepy faces... what did I say about returning to reality, yeah not so much...

• &#64;DE12: By you informing of that anime's existence, I can only surmise that God wants me to watch it.

• I will have to go with the series I purchased for my fiance, Princess Princess. Let me explain. At this all boys private school, they have come up with a method of keeping all the boys from committing suicide due to lack female. They pick three reasonably effeminate freshman, and pay them, with free tuition, spending money, free food, and private rooms, and in exchange these three boys spend the entire year dressed as girls. All the boys of the school worship them and treat them as royalty (AKA Princess).

• Ok I'm going to claim Rumble Roses. It's a video game I know but it's the story line which is kinda done like anime (right?) So we have Reiko who comes over from Japan to find her lost mother and sister. In the course of the investigation she learns that her sister has been brainwashed and is now an evil gimp suit wearing warrior. She was made this way by an evil slutty nurse who was analysing "Evil Rose" for information to make a super soldier. Also dispatched from Japan is a sexy female ninja who is planning to stop said slutty nurse. Elsewhere a cowgirl who doesn't wear much is jeleous of Reiko and takes every oppurtunity to confront her. The cowgirl is herself chased by an R&B hoebag for....erm I forget. Something to do with her being jeleous of her. A lolita style punk/cheerleader escapes from school detirmined to win money to save her orphanage. Her dominatrix style teacher is in hot pursuit to drag her back and force her to take mid terms or something. A mongolian in a bikini faces off against a Judo girl who doesn't know how to tie belts properly to prove who is best. Back to the main storyline. Reiko finds out her mum has been turned into a crazy cyborg woman by slutty nurse. Shame on her. All of this sounds pretty off the rail normally. But when you tie in the fact that it's all based around mud wrestling it really blows the mind. Okay it's not an anime yet but dear lord why hasn't anyone made it into a 70 ep series? I'd buy them all.

• How the hell did I forget to type 'remember their first' in the sentence "I mean, who doesn't [remember their first] love as a child"? I mean, reading it without puts a whole new subtext on my entry that I can not endorse.

• Before I make my entry, I have to say this to all of you that mention FLCL, Elfen Lied, and the one that mentioned Paranoia Agent: Shame! Pointing at those shows and calling one moment ludicrous is like pointing at Michael Bay's left arm and saying 'That arm is such a douche.' Not only are you singling out only one part of the whole, but everyone knows it. To the one that mentioned Dokuro-Chan, extra shame on you for getting the title wrong. It's Club-to-Death Angel not Bashing Angel. That would be silly. You get some bonus points for reminding me of that treasure trove. That leads me to my entry: The Club-to-Death Angel Dokuro-chan(Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan) opening animation. I don't even need to get into the actual series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ELRZ08hNaU You know, you really gotta love children. All smiles and laughs and always willing to share their S&M experiences with their friends. I mean, who doesn't love as a child? Can't you just picture them in your mind as they appeared to you back then? Didn't they look so so cute at they talked with their friends, played during recess, carried their medieval spiked bludgeon that was almost as large as them around and beat the hell out of people with it? What about how beautiful they looked to you as they sat across the room from you in class, or when playing with their sweet smelling hair as they stepped on your genitals and made you wear a leash as they flashed you? Sigh... so much nostalgia in those old burn scars from the hot wax. There are some things very wrong with the above paragraph. Can you find them?

• Irresponsible Captain Tylor, simply because the main character pretty much almost wipes out and dooms his crew/humanity several times due to his good natured goonery, but the fact the man gets promoted to the Space Navy Grand Admiral rank towards the end despite the fact all he did was dick around, flirt with the female officers and get boozed up the traditional space battle ship drunkard of a surgeon.

• My entry has to be Visions Of Escaflowne. Not just the whole show, because it has thousands of rather insane moments springing up from its deep dark anime crevice to throttle you with nonsense. The show itself is about a girl called Hitomi who get teleported to a strange world called Gaea where she has to help a pirnce from a fallen kingdom stop an evil empire from stomping the world. Strap on some weird Tarot related future-seeing, the fact that no one stays dead without Hitomi reaching into their brain to fuck with their thoughts and plots about Issac Newton discovering the lost city of Atlantis and its already strange, but there is one bit that strikes me as being frigging odd. But that fact that we sit there wondering if the leader of the Elite mech pilots is intentionally given the most womanly voice actor for a dude in any series ever on purpose. Dilandau, that being his odd name, suffers from is it a guy is it not a guy disease. Then at the end of the series we find out he is actually both. He is one of the main characters long lost sister who was kidnapped, brain washed and turned into a dude. Thats Animes most Ludicruios moment. When a hard bastard turns out to be someones long lost sister, and starts having flash backs to his childhood where he is a tiny girl with the same face. I include a video of him being a generally mad man lady as proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkoTj6Klct8

• Wow, there's been a lot hentai submissions... Well, my vote would have to be from the OVA MadBull 34 that was released back in 1991. It's a four episode cop drama that's based off of the 1986 manga of the same name. Well, before I get to the "moment" let me me explain a bit about the main character. He's a cop named Sleepy. He's gigantic! He's not a very big fan of actually arresting the criminals because he usually just kills them as fast as he can. A quote of his best summarizes his stance on criminals: "If they can still stand , then you have to keep pulling the trigger till they lie down!" He can flex his muscles so much that he can remove bullets out of his body after being shot.(seriously.) Well, my moment would have to be in episode two when after being caught and out gunned by some gangsters during a sting operation, Sleepy pulls out his secret weapon, or more correctly "pulls down" to reveal his secret weapons. Grenades, about twenty of them, attached to his pubes, in which he then begins to pull the grenades(pubes and all) and hurls them at the helpless mob. After taking that in for a moment, check out the video. It's at 2:10. Of course it's NSFW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZApzbXkFg0&feature=related

• Now once upon a time there was a Hentai called Bible Black. It is one of those animes that almost everyone has seen. A bunch of high school girls try and call the devil up through sex orgies. Thats it pretty much in a nutshell. Its also pretty standard as far as sex and magic are concerned. SO what's my problem? Why does making deals with the DEVIL give you a PENIS? I mean really its not like its always there, like he turned you into a hermaphrodite. Noooooooo it hides in your clit and until you will it to appear. "Hey I am your hot school nurse, wanna have sex?" KAPOW Surprise Penis! In true hentai fashion I think only one person gasps, "hermaphrodite!" but this isn't explained. She isn't really a chick with a dick because it isn't always there! The series (yes it is a series) does take a really odd chick with a dick turn. There is a girl who seems to be a ghost of Aleistar Crowleys daughter who can summon a dick that looks like a.....mushroom. Yes a mushroom. I can't say anything else about that. My brain hurts...i need to lie down.

• megazone 23 part 3 when the animation changed randomly like in the episode of family guy when peter talked about being threatened to cut the production of their show and there was animation delays. its just like that but it involves the main characters being chased by cops....you know what here is the link of that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp72dFs

• I'm going to go with Ninja Scroll, Headbutt Death! Do I need to say more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8MhgvfavLk&NR=1

• As a conisseur of wierd shit I wpould say ALL od Excel Saga, FLCL and anything fro Legend of the Overfiend (Which got into Britain's top 100 cartoons thanks to me and block voting.) But my nomination goes to AD police. A 3 episode OVA set in the Bublegum Crash/Crisis universe. For those not in the know this universe has machines called Voomers-Robotic slaves that have started going Psycho violent on people from time to time. Now the first 2 parts of this are fairly normal sci-fi action stuff. Guns, gore, explosions etc etc. Micheal Bay film stuff. In episode 1 we see one of the police officers who specifically deal with rogue Voomers die. By episode 3 he has been re built into Robocop Japanese version. So far so boring. BUT! It seems are man craves sensation as he can no longer feel things in his robotic body. So do they try and give him artificial nerves or somehing? No they give him mind altering drugs to get him good and stoned. And this isn't the WTF part. Apparently the senior scientist on the projec decides to give him sensation by.....Humping and grinding against him. On his Mechanical leg. Which feels nothing. WHAT THE CHRIST ARE YOU THINKING WOMAN!? DO YOU NOT REALISE HE CAN'T FEEL ANYTHIN THERE? Get up in his face molest his tongue (which somehow also survives being splattered). Maybe not horrific/hillarious like some others but WTF for lack of thought process and attempting to start a robotics fetish in young British males, starved for anime so they'll watch any old shit on SCI-FI.

• Ok, so I'm seriously glad no one beat me to this. My money is on the entirety of Angel Cop. For the condensed version of this awesome OVA see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVpwJbLLivU. The basic premise of the original show is that America is trying to buy out Japan and turn it into a nuclear waste dump. But it's not really Americans doing it. It's the Jews! The show is so ridiculously anti-semitic that when they dubbed it they had to completely change everything in order to not offend every decent person in America. The subtitled version is a little closer to the original except the Jews are replaced by communists. Here's a cool side-by-side of the official subtitles and a more literal translation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDdr-1iOqag

• This has been said many times before my post (probably, usually I read all posts but it's one of THOSE Friday nights...)I'm not a huge anime fan. It's more quality than quantity with me. I've seen the classics; Akira, Miyazaki films, etc...What's not fucking insane in all anime? psychics and motorcycles? A boar god getting shot and becoming a demon composed of black worms? It's too much to comprehend. The moment that comes to my mind is Shin Chan. More specifically the network. Ten years ago I watched Toonami religiously. DBZ and Gundam were edited but I didn't give a shit. I loved it. I even watched Sailor Moon (don't tell my friends). Then when Midnight Run premiered I was super thrilled...finally the blood and violence I was promised. Which of course I mean SLIGHTLY more blood and violence. The idea evolved into adult swim and the rest is history. I lost interest in anime and got into comedy shows. Then Shin Chan came along. Shitty anime and comedy? Which leads us to my ridiculous moment: a five year old's dick and balls. I don't know where in the fine print of presentable bullshit it's okay to show preschool dicks and not a special beam cannon ripping through flesh (fuck you Raditz),but I'm totally appalled. The End. haha.

• Hajime no Ippo answers the age old question, who would win in a fight? japanese boxer or giant freaking bear! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoTct40HZoU

• Two things, first the cheap shot. End of Evangelion movie starts with Shinjin masterbaiting over Asuka's limp comatose body.That was probably do as an apology to the otaku fans who found the fact Shinji had a very intense homoerotic experiance with the angel guy in ep 22-23 quite disturbing... So, Shinji went from closet homosexual to a pervert who jacks off to unconscience girls in two episodes? Inukami... know that anime? Probably not. This is the original ending theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkZgqa4x7TE In inculdes badly drawn ultracute girls dancing about and the lyrics talk about what girls like and need. And this master piece is the "alternate" ending theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMCcKXzpOcU Which includes... holy shit what the hell?!
