| Really? I kind of liked Hataraku Maou. Oh well, I guess our tastes differ. For me the anime with the most wasted potential goes to either Sword Art Online or Guilty Crown. Both had amazing animation and sound, but the storylines fell apart and stopped making sense for me around a quarter way through. |
| Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi, it had an amazing world with a unique plot. it could have been miles better. |
| Gungrave |
| Highschool of The Dead seemed like it had great potential with that theme and story, but it got ruined with ridiculous amount of fanservice. |
 |
| Aldnoah.Zero. Crappy characters and lackluster writing. Turned itself into an anime that seemed as if it had been directed by Michael Bay. Shingeki No Kyojin - Interesting premise. Crappy, cliche & uninteresting characters as well as a crappy story and really poor pacing. Sword Art Online. My review will perhaps explain why. |

crosx said: Zankyou no terror. The first expisode was 8.5/10 but the rest... Yeah. First episode for me is awesome but after that,it become repetitive where it always about bomb and riddle of the week. Bringing in Five and American doesn't make it better. For me, it still a good anime overall but could be better. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Air. Not a shred of doubt, no other anime comes close in terms of wasted potential, at least among adaptations. |
 |
| Kimonozume--first half was amazing. The second was bad comparatively. Phantom: Rftp--should have ended on the dock. Dtb gemini--just...no. Sao--4/10 with all 4 going to Yuki Kaijura |

| Sword Art Online - amazing premise, but wasted on stupid filler, horrifying romance and fanservice. 0/10 story. Aldnoah.Zero - good premise but bad execution and the characters are just... |
 |
| Darker than Black Especially season 2 where typical supernatural BS started filing its way in |
 |
| Sword Art Online (the harem and Yui ruined it. It should have been 25 episodes in Aincrad, with focus on action, game mechanics and political/psychological consequences of being trapped in a game). Haruhi Suzumiya (Even if the first 6 episodes and the movie are good, there are soooo many things that could be done with this premise). Angel Beats! (It should have been the best anime ever. I'm waiting for the VN, and I'm hoping for a 25 episodes X 2 seasons remake). |

| Aldnoah Zero-It could have at least tried to pass off as a gundam rip-off/wannabe......It ended up being Just Crap But hey,At least it has I SAY FRYYYYY!!!!! |
 |
| Another - the show slowly became a comedy show instead of horror lol Sword Art Online - everyone knows why Fate/Stay Night - poor adaptation No Game No Life / Akame Ga Kill - need less fanservice and comedy |

khangsk said: Another - the show slowly became a comedy show instead of horror lol Sword Art Online - everyone knows why Fate/Stay Night - poor adaptation No Game No Life / Akame Ga Kill - need less fanservice and comedy More like: Sword Art Online - bad adaptation is bad, Kirito became a God Stu because of it Fate/Stay Night - ufotable shall save us No Game No Life - Did exactly what it was supposed to do (being one of the best and smartest (japanese readers will know why is so genius) ecchi series I've ever watched) Akame Ga Kill - need less fanservice (started kinda bad too, sounded like it was really trying hard to be an edgy and dark shounen (borderline seinen), but it got progressively better and better) |

GreatWarlord said: Neon Genesis Evangelion....... Yes the end of Evangelion is a little bit complicated to understand. That's why you should watch Rebuild of Evangelion. The author said the finish will be different. |

VTjr10 said: GreatWarlord said: Neon Genesis Evangelion....... Yes the end of Evangelion is a little bit complicated to understand. That's why you should watch Rebuild of Evangelion. The author said the finish will be different. No thanks. I heard that Rebuild is supposedly what everyone wanted the original to be in the 90s. What is that exactly? More fanservice and other bullcrap like that, which I already hated in the original. Besides, I also heard that Rebuild 3.0 was disappointing for people..... |

However,I don't think khangsk is saying Akame has plenty of fanservice as much as your typical ecchi anime. Just saying need to tone it down.Dr Stylish seems to be the character intended for comedy but fail. @Danpmss Not sure if the author try to make it dark shonen. My impression is that the author is using assassination/corruption as the plot for this shounen instead of ninja/tailed beast(Naruto) or pirates/treasure(One Piece) or wizard/guild(Fairy Tail).Akame still a good shounen though. |

| By far Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Though it was understandable (even more because it was made by Studio Deen), is nearly impossible to adapt such magnificent content. |

| Angel Beats - Was expecting amazing, got semi-likeable train wreck. Naruto - Budget plz increase + new artists or smth for the big fights FSN - Could have been much better in every regard Berserk - Is not viewable by today's standards. The movies are ok-ish but with really great directing it could be a pretty strong series. Chrome Shelled Regios - Seems like it had lots of potential but fell flat in too many categories. World building, characters, explaining everything... maybe it was just so poorly written they couldn't fix it. |

RagesEntity said: Berserk - Is not viewable by today's standards. Just lol. If even a series made in the late 90's is "not viewable" and considered dated by younger anime fans,then i honestly pity those who only seek "visual eye candy" in the anime medium. Also yeah completely not viewable in any way shape or form.... [spoiler]    |
| I've mentioned Kaiba in several threads already, but I'm going to say this again: if the vibrant world building in its first half had carried on to its second half, I would have easily considered it Yuasa's best work. |

Also yeah completely not viewable.... The art is off constantly, though my standards were quite high having read the manga beforehand, but the art is only one problem. The second thing I strongly dislike is the music, the atmosphere feels very bland. |
| amateur I like Berserk the manga. However the animation in Berserk is awful. It is not a good viewing experience. In episode 4-5 or w/e they are complimenting Guts sword work and how great it is when he is shown doing the same 1-3 animations over again. Watching it by today's standards is a laugh. My friends and I watched it on team speak at the request of another friend, we all laughed at it and said we couldn't go further after like 10-12 episodes. Don't be an old fart with nostalgia glasses. There's old series I enjoy that have good art but not the best animation (GiTS) for instance isn't AMAZING animation. These same group of friends like Trigun (I personally thought the anime is over rated, one of them says I'm retarded and we argue over it) and we all enjoyed Cowboy be-bop. Though I think a few eps of be-bop were pretty awful but some of it was pretty great. So we can enjoy old anime as well. If you don't think Berserk would be better with 2 decades of animation improvement... wtf is going on in your head. I'm not very young, but as I age I adapt with the youth. I'm not stuck in the past saying NES and SNES games were #1. Everything improves over time. That's human nature. Music games art everything we choose to focus our abilities on grows. It's actually pretty funny tbh, because the Berserk Manga has probably by far and away the best art of any Manga I have ever seen. There's crazy amounts of detail in it it's insanity. |

| Tokyo Ghoul. Was expecting more =( |
  |
| I actually liked most of Berserk's soundtrack. The OP is a different story though. |
|
| Angel Beats!, even though it's my #1. It could have been so much better if it was stretched out to incorporate more character and setting background. |
| No. Most of anime are boring in the start and pick up later on. |
| Tokyo ESP the first episode was fucking amazing with the espers taking over the world or something, then every episode after that was complete shit |
| lol |
| I seconded Air Gear could have been way better. |
| Hataraku Maou-Sama? Yeah, right lol. Maybe Guilty Crown? Shu's power was really nice and the story could've been much better, I guess. |

| So I just found out that DEEN is animating the second season of Log Horizon, which means there's a pretty solid chance that will count as "most wasted potential" |
