    I’ve never seen anyone else looking for bad anime to listen to before! I have a few suggestions:

    • Tales of Byston Well: Garzey’s Wing is possibly the worst dub I’ve ever seen, and I don’t think it was a good show in the original Japanese either. Bonus points for having been directed by someone famous.
    • Cipher (1989): This is basically a 24-minute string of music videos with a bit of English dialogue (the last 15 minutes is behind the scenes stuff). It seems to expect that you’ve already read the manga because it doesn’t seem likely someone would enjoy it otherwise. Has a somewhat bizarre ending.
    • Crystal Triangle: I don’t remember this one too well. I think it was a pretty generic adventure where the main characters just go from place to place chasing a mcguffin and experience various anime action sequences. No clue whether a dub exists for it.
    • The Way of the Househusband: this one is a little sad because it’s based off a really funny manga but it’s basically not animated at all. I don’t actually know if there’s an English dub, but if there is this would be the perfect thing for someone to listen to but not watch.

      Garzey’s Wing is the stuff of legend. I have only seen clips, but it has a bit of a cult following in my area because it is a recurring feature in the Bad Anime, Bad! panel at my local con.

      Thank you for the recommendations! Garzey’s wing and way of the husband sound just like I am looking for, I ended up being mesmerized by cipher simply because I have a soft spot for 80’s shojou aesthetics and 80’s music, the vibes are immaculate!

      I think I just found crystal triangle on youtube so it’s added to my watchlist!
