Japan's STILL Making Fun of It

Kenny lauderdale (me), goes insane watching Chargeman ken, the most legendarily bad anime ever created. It's so bad it may actually be the best anime of all time. Dive into madness at 2 frames a second as chargeman ken defends the earth with all the animation of a tiger electronic wristwatch. It has every error in the book. Hilariously bad animation? Check. Badly DRAWN animation? Big check. People's mouths don't even match what they're saying, & this anime was made in JAPAN. They didn't need to dub it into english & they still couldn't get that right. The length of the episodes doesn't even make sense. The AMOUNT of episodes in this anime series doesn't make sense. NOTHING about chargeman ken is normal. Just being in the general area of this anime makes anime you thought were bad into masterpieces. Maybe if you watch this video, and that's what it is cause it sure isn't a review, it might make a LITTLE more sense. I doubt it though. I really do. So bad it's good? The most terrible anime ever created? Worst anime of all time? Maybe it's all three. You decide.

“He shoots first, and never asks a single question.” That’s probably accurate to what would happen if you gave a 10 year old powers

"Not because they couldn't do it, but because they thought it was funny."

You know, I respect that.

[MagillanicaLouM]

So instead of making a decent product that would eventually get forgotten over time, they made something so terrible that when it's terribleness becomes widespread, it becomes immortalized into Japanese culture forever as an icon of memery? Geniuses

happy 50th aniversary to the greatest anime of all time

[bumblebeepicnic]

Nearly 50 years ago, a Japanese animator accidentally took a picture of his hand while rushing an anime to completion. For all we know, this split-second frame could be our only evidence of this person's existence. We don't know who he is or if he's even alive. All we have is a hand.

Just imagine, your lasting legacy being tied to an animation error in Chargeman Ken.

Chargeman ken feels like something that would've got picked up by adult swim and given an overly goofy dub

[Mythical]

The fact that they forced the kid to light houses on fire because it was funny is the most realistic reason anime has given.

Happy 50th, Chargeman Ken! Rest in peace. Please, PLEASE rest in peace...

On the reason on why it’s so bad, according to the Japanese Wikipedia page, it said the staff didn’t care for it so much that some staff went to the beach instead of working, I doubt this is the only reason though, it’s too magical to be this bad

[hueypautonoman]

According to Wikipedia: "The low budget caused Knack Productions's staff to become apathetic toward the show and largely skip work on it in favor of going to the beach."

I can't believe Chargeman Ken invented the Wikihow artstyle

[philipsmith]

I showed this to an anime fan who has extensive knowledge on the subject.
He said that the card under the photographed hand was there to tell the film editor where to cut the film.
It looks like he didn't cut it in the right place.
It reminds me of the bit in "Manos: The Hands of Fate" in which we see the director using the marker board.

"I forced an AI to watch 10.000 hours of anime from the '60s and '70s, then told it to make an anime of its own. This is the result."

[TheAlmightyJello]

"Should we be drawing Ken as a 10 year old boy or a 30 year old man?"
"Yes"

[GIRru]

Chargeman Ken is literally that one kid at the playground who says he wins at everything because of his made up rules that he changes on the spot to suit his needs

[jonathanwilson]

Two years ago, I saw this video for the first time. After now having watched the series in its entirety twice now, I can say with absolute confidence that this man is speaking the gospel truth here 100%. Kenny, I applaud your courage to lay it out and tell it like it is. Bravo.

[wingdingfontbro]

It was so bad that Japan made it a country wide meme that has lasted longer than rickrolling.

[xelestial_sky]

"Why do the aliens have targets on their chest?" So Ken knows where to shoot.

[pottasium]

chargeman-ken is truelly inovative and ahead of its time. Literally 2020 shitpost but anime

[IceGoddessRukia]

This show made the whole "main character is a villain" thing before it was cool- and did it unintentionally!
I can't believe Hanna Barbara has more frames than this anime too. Breathtaking! :0
