This is a compilation of the hottest trash anime of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall 2023, as proclaimed by the Mother's Basement YouTube channel. This is "gaaarbaage" served fresh by "shaaay gaaarbaaage". You'll get the idea if you watch the videos or maybe you can figure it out from the shows stacked here.
"You guys need to understand, trash isn't always a bad thing. I adore trash. The whole reason I do this in the first place is so I can get paid roll around in the stuff." -- Geoff Thew
"When I call an anime trash, I'm not saying it's of inherently poor quality. That would be garbage. Trashiness isn't about quality at all. It's about taste. Or rather the deliberate and often delightful lack thereof. Trash is gaudy. Casually offensive. Nakedly self-indulgent, pun full-frontally intended... But some trash uses its unparalleled creative freedom to break truly new narrative ground." -- Geoff Thew
I try to pull a few amusing or informative quotes and include the trash rating. The rating system is based on trash receptacles and fire. A dumpster fire is probably considered a five or six on a scale of one to ten, but the system is definitely not rigorous or linear.
There isn't a particular order or implied rank in the presentation but I'll try to keep them listed here in the order they appear.
