I don't buy into hype very often, I guess maybe specifically the CA arc of HxH, people said it was amazing and I loathe it, its my least favorite arc in anime and I pretty much dropped HxH because the arc just got so tedious.

Damn I forgot to add NGNL. When it was airing people went on and on about how fun it was but I didn't find it fun at all more like annoying.

Heard many good things about OreGairu, am finding it incredibly dull. It doesn't help that Hachiman's outlook on life and relationships pisses me off.

I think I may just not be cut out for most realistic SoL.

Well that's what you need to do for this thread to not be locked.

OT: Can't think of any, my expectations are generally normal. They were relatively high for Death Note and Steins;gate and I can say that they were more or less met.

If you think the first season of Oregairu is realistic, be very wary of the second (if you're going to bother watching it, that is). It takes realism to another level, cutting out much of the comedy and replacing it with drama and a deeper focus on the characters. It uses a "show, don't tell" approach, which most people appreciate, but it occasionally dances the line between subtlety and vagueness, which is unfortunate.

The Character Development of Hachiman is crazy in season 2.

By realistic, I mostly meant that it doesn't have any fantasy elements. Mushishi would be unrealistic SoL by that standard.

The way you describe it seems like an improvement actually. I'll give the first two episodes a shot and if I still think it's a drag to watch, I'll just drop.

I think I'll have to go with hxh 2011, was good, but nothing close to what I expected it to be with all the hype it was getting. psycho pass another disappointment.

I've learn from this mistake so when a series get hype up I won't have a high expectation. Eg. Owari no seraph, wow what a average series that was.
