I'm going to print this quote and frame it on my wall. Tokyo Ghoul had so much potential, but the manga got completely butchered.
they fixing baby steps pacing problem. seriously, it manga has soo dragged pacing. glad the anime compress them. they also producing many decent series. also osomatsu-san that currently airing is rocking! i don't said they are good, but they are soo incosistent. that's why i still have hope for upcoming sousei no onmyouji.

From the short list of anime I've watched, I'd say Angel Beats and Mirai Nikki in my opinion.

Zankyou no Terror. I was so excited for an interesting plot with complex anti-heroes and intense, emotional moments, but it just... The first few episodes were great, but the latter 2/3 just really fell flat of my expectations.

A manipulative dickhead as the MC, and a rather interesting take on "teens with super powers". Of course, it just went downhill with its pacing and generic anime shit, but even then had some pretty great moments (which still ended up being shit on by ass-pulls and plot conveniences later on).


This.
I was so happy to have a manipulative anti-hero MC with an actual personality, but he just devolved into every other bland protagonist in creation. Not only that but all the interesting characters got no screentime, there was awful forced romance, too many ass-pulls and THAT LAST EPISODE.

Other ones:

Mahouka (too many info dumps and an OP MC who bored the hell outta me...to me, this is how NOT to write an OP protag. It's a shame since the world and side cast were interesting)
Yuri Kuma Arashi (was still good, but character relationships seemed a tad forced and the world could've been further delved into)
Death Parade (it was still good, just not as good as it could've been imo)
Gangsta (if only some studio like Bones did it)
Diabolik Lovers (if handled better, it could very well have been considered a deconstruction of reverse harem anime of sorts)
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi (downhill after episode 3)
Seven Deadly Sins (pacing was terrible...nothing ever sunk in because everything was moving at double the speed it should've been)

While I don't agree with bold, I also have to say School Days. The anime had enough set up to create an interesting deconstruction of the harem genre, but it fell flat on its face with a completely unlikable MC in Makoto and uninteresting girls besides Kotonoha and Sekai.

GATE - the concept of modern warfare vs medieval era is really cool, fighting against dragon with Fighter, or RPG-6 really great.
Too bad, it wasted by nonsense politic and edgy scene just to ensure that this is seinen anime.
And now, Wut? You could fight dragon with squad full-equipped warfare, but you choose to fight it while dating with your harem? pffttt..

Akame ga kiru - bad original ending, they force to rush and end it, and now this thing turn into dust, with such bad adaptation they fail to make anime watcher want to switch over to manga. Meh

funny enough gate is not seinen and not try to be one.

Right - I don't even like Gate that much beyond a kind of generic fantasy harem with nice animation but you're clearly suffering from the 'why isn't this the genre I want it to be' issue.

Gate never tried to be an action series which is clearly what you wanted - it's more an adventure or an epic on terms of combining action/romance/politics and comedy. This much was clear from the start, the very first episode, so it's not wasted potential really so much as you just being blind to the kind of show you were watching and slowly realizing that.

I mean, not that modern warfare vs medieval warfare IS interesting at all - as we see in Gate the former simply destroys the latter, that's all there is to it.

A squad that has never fought any sort of large animal like that, whose weapons are all but useless beyond high explosives and are extremely likely to incure losses versus a group of people who know the creature they are fighting and have power beyond any of the human characters abilities. Now, I agree it seemed rushed and it felt like they should have been more prepared going in with more people - but the girls are still some of the most dangerous weapons they have in terms of personal ordnance against a heavily armoured target.

Owari no Seraph, it wasnt really that awesome to begin with, but they ruined what could have been an interesting post apocalyptic world by making the characters go to school when the humanity was practically extinct and monsters and vampires were killing the few who survived

No Game No Life / Akame Ga Kill - need less fanservice and comedy
Akame ga Kill doesn't really have a lot of comedy and it also doesn't really have a lot of fanservice so I don't understand your point of view with that. Also NGNL is a ecchi show so it is supposed to have fanservice.

Akame ga Kill only needed to follow the manga and animate the clown scenes. Then would have been a 11/10.

Maybe, maybe not.
I just thought there could've been some potential to be had if the guys personalities and pasts had been better developed. In a lot of reverse harem and shoujo series, the cold, sadistic, "bad boy" love interests are often idealised and any questionable or downright abusive actions towards the heroine are even romanticised. I didn't think that was the case in DL...the abuse doesn't feel romanticised and it was actually pretty hard to watch. It's the same with vampires; they're typically sensualised in not only (romance) anime, but in novels, films and other media as well. With that in mind, Diabolik Lovers feels like it's giving us the gigantic middle finger by saying "hey you want a vampire harem with actual vampires?...Well here it is! Enjoy the ride, because poor Yui sure as hell won't!" That's why I thought it could've been a bit of a deconstruction.

Of course, that's all hypothetical since the potential is wasted with a plot that makes little to no sense, a heroine with about as much personality as a crushed walnut and a shit ton of underdeveloped characters with half baked backstories and personalities.

I liked the music though and everyone needs that one guilty pleasure anime. XD

M3: The Dark Metal - You spend half the show setting up an overall solidly fleshed out cast of characters with nice depth and then the second half is just a complete collapse where half of the cast is absent or lacking. The story, which wasn't bad at all, gets this weird ass resolution where we talk it out and all is right again. You force this melodramatic love polygon down my throat because apparently romance as a subplot is unacceptable, it must take center stage.

Pilot Candidate and Gasaraki...don't even get me started.

Of everything I've watched Angel betas has the most wasted potential, it dosen't seem to have any sort of a plot until like 4 episodes? and until then it just seems like a normal slice of life anime. By the time you get emotinally invested in the story your already half way through the anime

The thing with Tokyo Ghoul is that the first season took all the gore and fights from the manga, and ignored any character development. Root A is nuts. But Pierrot tried.

Your Lie In April. It was overally a very good anime, I gave it 8 or 9/10, but it could have been 10/10 for me, really. It lost its potential to be a flawless anime, because it was 25 episodes. I mean, the story was not that complex to make it "so long". Only thing they achieved was, that a single piano contest lasted throughout three episodes, which was tiring, because of all those flashbacks that werent necessary. If it was 12 episodes, I think there would be no time for fillers and everything would be focused on the main line, therefore it would be better.

Those four series have a good animation but lacks of chara developpment and/or good story.

Log Horizon and DBSuper have the worst storytelling I've ever saw in an anime. It's soooo fucking slow and boring...Base story is nice, but...they fucked up everything with a bad storytelling and a bad animation.
