I continue on my quest to listen to bad Anime while I work; This week I listened to chaos;head and it was delightfully terrible. It was basically an audio novel, everything was expressed in dialog, I especially love the long pseudo science exposition dumps:

"we are putting a delusion in the blank spot on your mind!" I had to glance at my second screen from time to time to make sure that the otaku guy and his harem of psychic girls were battling... Dudes with back packs.

The final fight was also funny in how anticlimactic it was. I noticed it's based on a visual novel or something and tried listening to chaos;child what seemed to be an adaptation of an alternative route but I could not do it a second time. Then tried Heavenly Delusion and that one seemed good, so I'm putting it on hold to watch while paying attention next.

Currently looking for another bad Anime to listen to

I've never seen anyone else looking for bad anime to listen to before! I have a few suggestions:

Tales of Byston Well: Garzey's Wing is possibly the worst dub I've ever seen, and I don't think it was a good show in the original Japanese either. Bonus points for having been directed by someone famous.
Cipher (1989): This is basically a 24-minute string of music videos with a bit of English dialogue (the last 15 minutes is behind the scenes stuff). It seems to expect that you've already read the manga because it doesn't seem likely someone would enjoy it otherwise. Has a somewhat bizarre ending.
Crystal Triangle: I don't remember this one too well. I think it was a pretty generic adventure where the main characters just go from place to place chasing a mcguffin and experience various anime action sequences. No clue whether a dub exists for it.
The Way of the Househusband: this one is a little sad because it's based off a really funny manga but it's basically not animated at all. I don't actually know if there's an English dub, but if there is this would be the perfect thing for someone to listen to but not watch.

Thank you for the recommendations! Garzey's wing and way of the husband sound just like I am looking for, I ended up being mesmerized by cipher simply because I have a soft spot for 80's shojou aesthetics and 80's music, the vibes are immaculate!

I think I just found crystal triangle on youtube so it's added to my watchlist!

Glad you liked Cipher!

Yep, that's the one!
