The most cancerous anime I have ever seen has got to be Lucky Star. All the references in that one combine in such a way that it will forever be marked as a product of the 2000s. At least the songs are good. Azumanga Daioh & Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei are still much better, in my opinion.
Woah. Lucky Star? Bad? That's just... I don't even know. But to counter with Azumanga Daioh "sucks?" I can't believe what I'm hearing. I basically live for pointless schoolgirl slice of life anime. Will we be bashing Ichigo Marshmallow or Hidamari Sketch next? When will the circle of hate ever end!?
Naruto is the very definition of cancerous. The entire fanbase is best summed up in one word: malignant. The art is shit, the plot is shit, and the cast is full of unlikable characters. No sane person can empathize with the majority of the characters because of how unrealistic they are. In a typical shounen fashion, every villain is stronger than the last, defying any sense of pace or suspension of disbelief. It should be plainly obvious how much of a cash grab this series actually is.
I would have posted the copypasta instead but the server is down so I needed something to do.

Have no fear. Life is the best slice. Though, A-channel was bit tedious to watch.
Boku no Pico is entry level. Pico x Coco x Chico is for a cultured audience.
As far as the shounen genre goes, I like what Hunter x Hunter does with it. It sticks to a lot of the genre staples, but it kinda twists them around, and it doesn't force victories out of a protagonist that is clearly outmatched. It's definitely a smarter shounen title than Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, or Fairy Tail. (I just wish the mangaka would hurry up and un-die. Stupid Hiatus x Hiatus)
A-channel was indeed tedious. It had cute characters, but it didn't seem to do anything that other SoL's didn't do better. (Still watchable though. Just not a high-tier show.)
