| I personally think Gibiate was much worse. Ex-Arm is based on a manga that isn't half bad and while the adaptation is obviously botched, it still somehow managed to convey that manga has potential and if you want to experience the story, you should forget about anime and go there. On top of that, Ex-Arm works quite well as ironical comedy if you force yourself to not take it seriously. It is "so bad it's actually good" at some points. Gibiate on the other hand is an anime original and has no redeeming quality whatsoever. It doesn't even quality as "so bad it's good". It's painfully boring, miserable and tedious experience. |

| @Piromysl As someone who has watched both Gibiate and Ex-Arm, I have to disagree on your statement that Gibiate isn't "so bad it's good." Maybe if you were watching it on your own, but it's a riot with friends. My husband and I watched both together while they were airing and we could not stop laughing with both of them. @sir_zedmore I highly recommend this show AND Gibiate if you're looking for a a terrible anime. Grab some friends and some booze and have fun, neither show will disappoint. |
