Thanks for reminding me of the failure that was Final Fantasy:Unlimited. Your given the license and that's best you could come up with. About as bad as those OVA's that were losely based on FFV.
I do think the Disgaea show is a little more tolerable with the English dub,due to them having the same cast from the game(show still looks like shit though). |

Definitely don't think Escha and Logy or Devil May Cry deserve to be on this list. Escha and Logy was good light hearted fun and DMC had plenty of style and Dante's attitude was on point.
If you want to talk absolute trash, Street Fighter Alpha Generations was horrible. |

I, for one, found Tekken to be improved by the inclusion of dinosaurs that have difficulty staying fully invisible.

But Dante was always a face-stuffing mercenary for hire. |

Listing Shining Tears x Wind without mentioning Shining Hearts is... uhmmmm...
Poor Tony Taka. Adaptations of his gorgeous (art)works are either H-OVA or shitty TV shows. |

I can't believe Devil Survivor 2 the Animation isn't on this list
It rushed every plot point of the game, reduced the game's sentient demons into roaring beasts, added a ton of Deus ex Machinas and in general run the game's plot into the ground. That's without mentioning several characters getting mischaracterized, and introducing one of the game's main mechanics (demon fusion) in the final battle. Also, the human characters reduced to non-fighters when they could fight on the game DMC's anime might be bad, but Devil Survivor 2 was even worse |

I actually preferred the anime over the game in that case. The game ended up with a messed up plot that was trying to frame really horrible events in a light-hearted kid-friendly way that felt like an executive mandate came down halfway through. The show, on the other hand, doesn't really have that problem. (It does a little bit, but it's not nearly as jarring.) |

I enjoyed Sands of Destruction enough to have watched it twice so far, and I plan to watch it again sometime.
I did not realize that it was adapted from a game. For the new poll I voted for Maria Watches Over Us. It is my favorite on the list and I cannot think of anything that might be considered yuri that I would like better. |

Anyone happen to stumble upon VG Neo, the sequel of Variable Geo? That OVA was a trainwreck with its horrific hentai scenes and perplexing plot.
The Poll: It's quite a hard one, since I equally adore any yuri show that I watch. My votes are for Kasimasi: Girl Meets Girl, Season 2 of Steel Angel Kurumi, and Yurikuma Arashi. |

Good list of Yuri titles, but I think it's missing Revolutionary Girl Utena (the movie if not the series).

Tekken and Shadow Skill aired on Sci-Fi? I wasn't aware of this.

I would agree with Esha and Logy not being that bad, though maybe not the most memorable I'd admit and also second asking why Blazblue wasn't put on the list. I'd put Gunslinger Stratos in the pot as well. Don't put you name on crap Urobuchi! Also I think that while PSO2 is not going to be very memorable, I don't think it is bad enough to be mentioned with the truly awful stuff at the top. It's following one of the standard plots of the genre, game stuff becomes real. Though tbh, I'm mainly watching it cause I think some of the girls are cute. They haven't gone as hard on obvious advertisement as the first few eps.
