It was. Carl Macek was working on this when ADV forced him off the project and had whoever created the comic serve as director.
He explained his frustrations with Lady Death here...

Yeah, Carl mentioned that the comic's creator had no experience when it came to actually knowing animation, and it shows here.
I also remember him mentioning that at least one scene he did was retained in the final cut.

Two words: Weiss Kreuz. I picked up the first four DVDs of it when it got translated in 2001. I was a hopeless bishie-addict back then, and when I rewatched it of late with my best friend I realized how fucking terrible it is.
The art, when not focused up close on one of the main characters, is pretty damned bad--there's loops of two-frame animation aplenty, and sometimes they hold on one frame for upwards of five seconds.
The story isn't much better. Four bishonen work at a flower shop as their cover, because they're really assassins who kill off evil people who do things like run a prostitution ring or do unethical medical experiments on human subjects. It's a little like Charlie's Angels, except totally stupid and played utterly fucking straight.
There are plot holes all over the damn place. At one point our heroes have just killed off a tentacle monster (don't ask...) in a burning building. They and the four lady assassins they were also up against are trapped in said building, and the episode ends on a wide shot of it collapsing in flames. Well, guess what? Everyone lives. Including the tentacle monster, who is next seen about ten or twelve episodes later in a science tube in non-tentacle-monster mode.
As for characters, there's the leader, Aya, who joined Weiss (the good guys) because a certain Evil Bastard killed off his family and then ran over his younger sister, putting her in a coma. So he's in it for revenge. There's Omi, who's the hacker; he's the youngest of the group, and his backstory and love interest is just a colossal trainwreck I won't get into, but incest is involved. There's Ken, who's just sorta...there. And then there's Yohji, the Casanova, who goddamn garrotes people when he's on missions; he's trying to find his ex-partner from when he was a private investigator and eventually does in the stupidest way possible.
It's bad enough in Japanese, but the English dub is complete and utter shit. Aya's Japanese voice actor is Koyasu Takehito, who emotes his goddamn ass off when his character gets angry. Paul Juhn, on the other hand, is clearly phoning it in the whole time.
There is one bright spot in this mess, however, if you watch it on DVD. The outtakes are quite cackleworthy, and the Japanese voice actor interviews are hilarious. Poor giraffe plushie. Poor, poor giraffe plushie.

The way he brought up how the rat's eyes were supposed to work sounded cool the way he described it.

This show's DVD box needs rule 34 of it having intercourse with the word terrible, it's that bad.
Omi near the end starts dressing like a sex slave girl who escaped a Renaissance fair but forgot instead of wearing a skirt left on her green cargo shorts on. Yohji is Mr. Try-to-hard and fails because the chick he's into has the sexuality and personality of a malfunctioning vacuum cleaner. And the series, IIRC, stars that Koyasu twit, is written by that Koyasu twit, and the songs were sung by that goofy ass twat.
BTW "Twit, Twit, Twat" is my new game show on British television coming in the fall.
For a couple of my many selections of garbage, Brigadoon is garbage for some of it's horrible pacing, terrible English voice acting and massively retarded character flaws. (The main chick sees people dissolving in a monster's stomach acid, IN A KID'S SHOW, then is happy-go-lucky moments later after seeing that nightmare fuel.)
Also Machine Robo Rescue for having one of the most insufferable cast of children protags I have ever experienced. I can handle the Phantom Menace before this mess. Great theme music though.

I totally agree. I never liked the stupid pink puke shows at all. My sister did though. And they were really irritating to have to sit through until it was my turn to pick something. Now I remember some guys saying they actually liked Jem. But I can see why. While they did up play the fashion aspect the show had quite a lot of action. The Misfits and Eric were committing attempted murder just about every episode. Certainly a lot more exciting than most girly shows.
Anyway, I think that Annoying Orange is one of the worst things ever. I imagine Hell is watching Annoying Orange on an endless loop for all eternity. Those Monster High cartoons are awful too. Ugly, anorexic looking Bratz ripoffs.
I hate Caillou. That brat needs a serious beating. Max & Ruby is annoying too. Weird looking rabbits that all look like fatasses. Ruby is a bossy control freak who thinks she's God's gift to rabbitkind. And Max is definitely a little slow. My niece and nephew were obsessed with that show for awhile. Having to sit through it as an adult is excruciating.

Well shit, now I need to watch it. But then I'll end up watching it dubbed because I love bad dubs--lol Media Blasters.
Anyone remember The X's?
I'd forget, but it was included in one of those "Nick Picks" DVDs Nickelodeon shills/ed out.

This is like one big anti-joke. If it was made in flash this wouldn't be out of place on Adult Swim.

From the related videos, you got "The Magic of Oz".
There's also this clip from that weird "What Jehovah's Witnesses Believe" cartoon (or whatever it's called, it's the same people(?) who did the "What Mormons Believe" cartoon) in which Jesus blows up the Earth. These cartoons are just lulzy any way you look at it.

Yeah... Dear fucking God, Fuck that show and all the shitty Rule 34 it generated. Same thoughts from me apply there with A Kind of Magic as well, here:

Full English. It was a British attempt to do Family Guy-style adult animation, starring Richard Ayoade, who really should have known better. The whole thing was written as if someone saw an episode of Family Guy and thought, "Yes, this 'humour' thing looks easier than I thought." It revolves around a middle-aged couple and their three kids and for some reason there's a guy in his 70s who has an imaginary friend and it's all oh-so-wacky and about as funny as I'm making it sound.
Actually, pretty much all British attempts at animation aimed at adults have been shit. Which is odd, because there have been a few British shows aimed at kids that manage to be funny and smart enough to appeal to adults too (Dangermouse springs to mind, as does the translation of The Magic Roundabout).

At least the animation isn't shitty (or maybe I'm just blind of just being stupid than a retarded man.)

Yeah, the animation is the least of A Kind of Magic's ptoblems... But looking good is all that fucking sad/pathetic excuse of a show has going for it.
I have no doubts we would all be thankful this doesn't exist as an actual show. Otherwise, it would be on the first page as a proper OP post, not the obvious kids' stuff that kids love OP did stupidly post to start things off with here in this thread.
Good looking out, however.

The animation looks alright, but there is something about it that's a little off-putting. I just don't know what it is--might be the lack of depth of field with the animation being all in the foreground, characters are just rarely overlapping with each other and other objects to convey that illusion.
