Hated episodes of your favorite anime?

I would personally put this here because what in the holy hell is this?

Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin arc
Episode 3

The fight is between two Kung Fu/Martial Arts experts and the episode does them dirty by being poorly sketched and rushed to oblivion. These characters were shown to have the graceful movements and swift attacks. This looks like a sh*tshow to me than an actual episode

Gurren Lagann episode 4 is my first thought.
There was a guest animation director and the difference in quality was super apparent. That guest director quit after 1 episode because of the massive negative reaction.

Seven Deadly Sins S3, where it all started

Wait, right…which episodes. Episode 12

Seconding Gurren Lagann episode 4. The off-model art and animation is so infamous, even Kill La Kill poked fun at it with deliberate off-model animation in it's episode 4.

Haruhi Suzumiya the "Endless Eight VIII" episodes is the lamest excuse to not have to put any work in a show. I literally prefer a hiatus instead of that.

The first episode I can think of that I don't like of an anime I love is... I think it was episode 17 of Gun X Sword? Like the main problem I had with it is that it felt like a weak excuse to have... what would probably be the closest this series would have to a beach episode where they put their female characters in swimsuits.

Like I normally don't care about stuff like this, but the problem with this episode in something like Gun X Sword is that it feels SO out of place imo.

The Diamond is Unbreakable arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is my favorite out of the bunch, except for a storyline introduced in Episode 20. Koichi is being dogged by Yukako, a girl with a crush who turns out to be homicide-level crazy. She almost offs herself accidentally but because Koichi is such a nice guy, he rescues her anyway and makes for the hills immediately after.

In the aftermath, she's still trying to win him over and resorts to using another Stand's power to manipulate Koichi into dating her. And after everything is out in the open? He still dates her. As if having his life threatened and his choices altered aren't enough reason to fire this chick into the sun.

The Garlic Jr. filler in DBZ.

7 deadly frames. There are even moments where you can still see these frames without pausing them.

Typical fan service cash grab. I also hated those moments.

I don't know if I can narrow it to a single episode, but there's at least two entire arcs I pretty much hate; Syrup Village and Whiskey Peak. Okay, technically I like moments in SV, but it's... it's rough. WP, though? I honestly cannot think of a single redeeming quality.
