I do this very silly thing where I watch the first episode of every new anime that pops up, do a short write up on it, and then most likely never watch it again. I've found some wonderful gems this way but there is an absolute shit ton of garbage.
That being said, the most memorable instant stop watching I had was the first season of one about a highschool maid Cafe that extorted the MC into joining, dumped this whole "we do bit acting to make it more entertaining", and then having the MC call one of the other girls her sister, which was immediately a problem. Like there was some obvious trauma and they just keeeeeep on poking at it. Fuck that. It's rude as hell, the entire show can go kick rocks.
There are way worse than that which are obvious ones to just not watch. Healer redo is one of those.
One of the gems I found was a mech anime based on the Japanese bullet train, and it's completely bog standard. However, the first episode has an April fools variant of the subtitling that made it worth the watch. Sadly the rest of the show is done properly.
Biggest fail I've seen so far from sub to dub was from "ya boy kongming", which is a delightful watch on its own. Apparently the company which did the dub didn't think the literal rap battle needed to be translated... Or subtitled. I was very disappointed.
