... because it sounds a lot better than "Top 10 Animes That Suck Balls". And because some of these here animes don't really suck at all. But they all have something in common, or, rather, they all lack something: ample amounts of lolis, pantsu shots, surprise sex positions, and various other things made of win, hereby referred to as desu. So let the countdown begin.

10. Manabi Straight
Gakuen Imoutopia Utopia Manabi Straight, here?! A curious choice, you might say, but when you really think about it, this show failed. It had a perfectly moe cast of lolis, and yet it failed to fulfil the prophecy - that one day, something hawter than Ichigo Mashimaro would come along...

9. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
This, too, was actually a good anime, enough so that Kyon's imouto-in-a-bag is still making a regular appearance in my perfectly sane fantasies. Nevertheless, I had to include it in this top, simply because it was the most over-hyped anime of 2006, and over-hype is something we don't take kindly around here.

8. School Rumble Ni Gakki
We kept trying to figure out where exactly did they screw up School Rumble 2, until we finally concluded that it was more of a widespread suckage. After a highly enjoyable first season, we take no joy in listing the sequel here... But loli justice must be served!

7. Ged Senki
Otherwise known as Tales from Earthsea, otherwise known as Studio Ghibli's latest full-length animated piece of crap, directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro (who the hell gave him a job, anyway?!). The only reason why Ged Senki isn't listed any lower, is that I happen to enjoy its OST.

6. Mushishi
Until the very end, I actually hoped that Ginko would dip his mushi in some loli's sushi. And while there were indeed plenty of mushi oozing around, there were simply way too few lolis involved, to leave this anime unblemished. Not to mention my pedo comrade was nearly bored to death by it.

5. Perfect Blue
I only bothered to watch this while waiting for Paprika, since it had the same director and everything... Bad idea! If you haven't seen Perfect Blue yet, you are one lucky individual, for not having wasted your time with it. Just stick with Paprika (which could also use more desu, truth be told).

4. Noein
Since this was the shittiest anime of 2006 from our professional point of view, the question of whether or not it needed more desu is rather rhetoric, if not imbecile. Then again, Noein was doomed from the start, and no amount of epix loliness could have saved it, anyway. Definitely a must-not-watch.

3. Bleach
In some girly / gay version of Animekon, Bleach would probably rank quite high on the yaoi-meter. This, and the fact that it's yet another over-hyped anime, makes it one of our most-unwanted titles. And if that sounds like a shallow judgement, be thankful we didn't put Eiken in this top!

2. Death Note
While some might find this kind of animes disturbingly arousing, we here at Animekon simply don't. Nor do we get excited about over-hyped shows that aren't worthy of our adulation. And Death Note is almost the perfect example for this. Almost, because there's also...

1. Naruto
Words could not possibly convey our boundless loathing for that crap called Naruto, and everything it stands for. It's the reason why animes as a whole have to suffer in the eyes of the "normal" world, instead of being recognized for their true, underaged values. If only more people saw the light, the world would be such a better place!
