Last week I celebrated the wonderful anime that came out in 2021. Now I reflect (or lament) on those that disappointed. These are the worst anime 2021 threw at us, and oh boy there are some bad ones here. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts so get ready to share your worst anime experiences of 2021.
