1 Angel Beats!
Ridiculous worldbuilding. This is supposed to be an afterlife but the characters are simply living the school-life and the only quirk is their bodies being immortal. Yes, we have a normal school with only few real people, and the rest are 'NPCs' like in some video game. That could work in a comedy, but the show is extremely serious and dramatic. While I enjoyed some backstories of certain characters, I could not immerse myself into their current struggles due to the ridiculousness of the setting. The characters are dumb, because they fight the 'angel-girl' for years due to a simple misunderstanding, yet the main character just talks to her and the issue is resolved. Whoever has written the plot for this series must have been drunk.

Weak antagonist and side characters, questionable plot direction. I expected scenes of Michiru and her friend living in the human society again, or at least visiting it, yet we got none of that. The show only puts focus on the animal city, which was not the best plot decission in my opinion. The story background of Michiru was not properly exploited.

8 Boku no Hero Academia
Epic moments in this anime influence me unlike any other shounen. Part of this is soundtrack but also camera work and writing.

A little wasted potential here. The show is too soft - everyone says how dangerous hero job is and how evil villains are but noone actually dies or is badly injured (especially Midorya, he always recovers easily). That breaks immersion and lessens excitement. Another problem - Uraraka character development is disappointing. One could expect more from such an important character. The show as a manga adaptiation gets progresively worse starting with season 4.

13 Charlotte
The main characters attend to the school for people with powers but that fact is not depicted well - other students never use their powers, and the school looks and functions like any other school.
It seems like the plot had not been very thought out before the production of this anime had started. There are pacing problems - after episode 9 the plot goes too fast, making certain narratives unconvincing. Given the mood of the first eight episodes, this show should have at least two episodes more to better space things out in the latter half.

The secondary characters are badly written. Yusa and Joujirou don't contribute to anything meaningful - their only role is to create a semi-funny scene once in a while. The personalites of Ayumi and her peers felt inauthentic and unconvincing for a primary school kids. Ultimately, Yusa, Joujirou, and Ayumi are all shallow characters and the series suffers from that.

This anime 'has its moments'. It has some magic here and there. But it's dragged down by the aforementioned issues and feels like the potential wasn't fully realised.

But the backgrounds are gorgeous.

16 Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou
Unreleased potential due to emitting only 4 episodes - could be much better if more source material got adapted. Too many characters for very little screen time makes impossible to familiarize with, and care about any of them. And a horror where you don't care about its characters is simply bad.

17 Cowboy Bebop
Nothing interesting really happens - the characters simply move from one place to another without any internal development. I also failed to understand the main plotline and the motives of the main characters, who are extremely edgy all the time (except that orange haired girl), which made it hard to sympathize with them. The ending makes no impact due to no build-up (besides some vague Spike memories). The show felt like a worse version of Samurai Champloo.

24 Fairy Tail
Generally, there is no plot - this anime is all about fights and emotional moments. It has an amazing soundtrack that makes this show watchable. The progression of the main plotline is non-existent until the very end of the last season. That leaves only temporal plotlines present in their individual arcs, which makes the show less exciting, but allows watching to be safely resumed at any arc without the need of knowing the preceding events. The characters are enjoyable at first, but due to hardly any personality development, they end up being shallow and predictable to death.

The writing goes downhill after the episode 9 (Zomble war). The series gets overcomplicated and less engaging. There were many interesting routes the show could go after the war, but the author's writing has run out of steam.

Personally, I'd like Gill to somehow gain idaten powers while keeping her human memories (maybe by jumping into the portal, and returning from it instead of her idaten counterpart). That way she could have served as a compelling dynamic between demons and idaten.

42 Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Gon is the protagonist, yet he is one of the most boring characters in the show. This is a problem since the story often revolves around him. In the later stages of the chimera ant arc he acts unnaturally and weirdly, before getting a huge temporary power-up that feels far-fetched, to say the least. That also causes one of the most interesting villains in the said arc to suffer an early and meaningless death, wasting their potential as a character. Unfortunately, Gon is not the only annoying character. There are quite a lot annoyingly "old-school", extremely one-dimensional personas that at times feel unbrearable to watch. The most interesting character - Kurapika - disappears after the first few arcs, dragging down the overall level of the anime.

The ant arc and the game arc feel dragged at times. The hospital arc suffers from a drop in animation quality.

43 Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku
The two main characters - Lalaru and Shu - drag down this show heavily.

Lalaru is an extremely boring character due to her being emotionless and speechless, but gets a lot of screen time for an unknown reason.
Shu, on the other hand, is extremely annoying. He is super naive, primitive, and unnaturally optimistic. Never sad or depressed, but keeps saying truisms all the time. Doesn't develop in any way either.
The main antagonist also gets too much screen time given how shallow and one-directional character he is.

Also, Sara's decision to not leave the world felt very unconvincing to me - why would she stay in the world that had hurt her so much, and why would she leave all her relatives, friends, hobbies, and goals in our world?

44 Kaiba
Massive potential wasted. The journey part (the first 7 eps, excluding episode 4) is very good, but the second part where everything should get explained is almost not tied to, and not influenced by the journey part. And it also doesn't match its pace (given the pace of the first part, this show should have been longer). At the end everything goes too fast, the multitude of clones and superpowers doesn't fit the show at all, and the characters become shallow and one dimenshional. The only 'superpower' introduced in this show should have been Warp's control over memories, which gets mentioned in the episode 5. The second part of the show focuses on, and revolves around only one planet, even though it is said that Warp rules/ruled the whole universe. And the characters from the other planets that Warp had met are never mentioned again (thus they dont end up influencing the main characters at all). The world and character building greatly suffers due to all of that. Possibly the writers didn't have enough episodes left to write a satisfying second part of the story. Unfortunately, the first high quality 'arc' ends up completly irrevelant, since the plot has not been thought over properly for a 12 episode limit. A very disappointing experience.

63 Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari
The third movie was created due to the success of the TV series. It did not need to be, as the original plotline was perfectly concluded and not really designed to be continued. The story of this movie takes place after the events of the original show and thus, its storywriters had a very hard task to somehow continue the adventures of the main cast of characters - the cast that, by the way, should be mostly dead. But they were doing pretty good... until a certain point.

Bringing all the characters back to life is already very far-fetched, but the worst happens at the point when Homura meets Madoka. She steals Madoka's status (as if that could be stolen at all), ignoring any laws of the universe established by the TV series, and thus, making the last minutes of this movie very disgraceful towards the original series. Even the writers admitted, that they had initially planned to give the movie a happy ending when both girls met, but they were pushed for a more open conclusion instead... a conclusion that doesn't belong in the world of Madoka.

At the end I was left greatly disappointed, but at least I had witnessed some great animation and soundtrack.

Season 1 contains emotional and magical moments, often ascending beyond cooking - teaching life lessons. This season lacks that. What remains is a solid cooking show, but nothing more.

The result of every cooking battle is extremely predictable, and that's a problem, since the whole season is about a tournament.

The first set of judges was not introduced for some reason, making them feel out of place. They are boring and their reactions are dumb, compared to what we are used to.

A good concept but a wasted potential. The world as a video game is not presented well here, just showing hp bars is not enough. Players' avatars are mostly mature, muscular men that don't reflect the real appearance of a typical MMO player, yet for some reason our protagonists match their real world appearances. The anime tries to stay on a serious tone but refuses to seriously harm or kill its protagonists... who happen to be boring and shallow personality-wise. Most of the side characters don't contribute to anything (harem background). Kirito is the only capable 'player' and everyone else is powerless, with his harem being a bunch of annoying 'noobs' (since its a video game) who serve no purpose to the plot.

100 Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
Saten best girl.

The first arc - the story about power-upper - is my favourite among all railgun seasons. It focuses on low level characters and their craving for power. Unfortunately, that's the only arc revolving around low levels we get.
The second arc of the 1st season is much worse due to being a filler - its main drawback is superficial villain without convincing motives. Looking at the later seasons, I don't like the direction this show has taken. It focuses on Misaka as a character, but there isn't much development of her over all three seasons. Generally, the focus is put on level 5 characters and their fights, but I don't care about that. I don't care about their struggles, as that's the low level people that interest me. But sadly, all the low level characters that flourish in the episode 14 of season 1 got abandoned by the author, and worst of all - Saten's character/ability development got abandoned as well. She stays low level during the entire story (season 1/2/3). To sum up - a disappointing plot direction.

There is hardly any development of them (to the episode 12 at least), and everyone's morals and point of view seems to be stuck 10m in the concrete. The 'funny moments' in this show are too blunt to be displayed that often, so they end up boring. The anime tries to be serious in certain areas of plot while being childish in others, creating very annoying contrast. It tells us about the struggles of living in the primitive world, but nobody relevant gets seriously hurt or dies, and looks like nobody ever will; yet the plot is about opposing a 'bad guy' threating lives of others.

The anime is a prime example of quantity over quality principle. Many episodes have a very gross pacing, due to the studio producing more episodes than there are manga chapters, which should be the other way around. The individual arcs and their plotlines are usually too long for what they aim to present, except the ones deeply tied to the main plotline. And the main plotline, while interesting, moves at a snail's pace. Additionally, there is an excess of side characters and most of them feel like an unnecessary, generic content, like a copy-paste template used to keep the show and manga going.

The anime has a very questionable, grotesque character art style. The body proportions are ridiculous and the size differences are enormous. I'm fine with some variance but that is way overboard to my taste, so I often found myself disgusted when looking at some characters.
