You know what? It sucks ass balls when you are going into an anime thinking you are getting something and it decides to give you something totally diferent, especially when it isn't even early on. So I made this post to discuss every anime that made you feel like a soon to be dead fish, me first.


Also, I know that a bait and switch is not always bad, I actually loved some shows that sucefully baited me (As Deca-Dence and Gakkougurashi!) but this is not about them (unless you disliked it, them I want you to share you'r opnion about it), and more about shows taht didn't manage to pull it, our baited you in another way.

The biggest bait is people dropping a show and giving them a score of 7+

That's a rather big bait and a mystery for me

Oh boy, my dropped list is really enfuriating, not to mention that I dropped an anime just 3 epsodes before the finale and rated it a 8, not even I understand how I did it.

I was in a bad mood so I decided to watch Madoka Magica because it looked like a happy anime and had great ratings. I’m sure some of you understand how that turned out.

The biggest bait came from Tower of God fandom saying it would be the best anime ever.

The worst part is that not even reading the synopse you get ready, "Homura Akemi, a magical girl herself, urges them not to accept the offer, stating that everything is not what it seems." every synopse says that, it isn't supossed to mean anithing anymore.

I'll do you one better—when the fandom said that ToG will get better and the webtoon is good. I stopped reading after mid-Hell Train arc. Got dull fast...

Boruto with its first 5 mins of pure awesomeness followed by 160 episodes of filler.BTW Don't call them filler because the mangaka acknowledges them as canon material.It is the biggest disappointment of life.I don't even care at this point even if Kawaki straight up kills Naruto.

I only heard about it. Does the anime even have a good reason to have she wear the Bunny suit?

Urusei Yatsura must be the worst. I had to drop it after episode 21 because it turns into an entirely different style of comedy at that point. The Beautiful Dreamer movie wouldn't even be recognizable as Urusei Yatsura if you changed the names and faces.

Oh yeah, Osomatsu had an outrageous 1st episode.

I can sort of understand why they do it. I gave Banana Fish a 6 and while I don't necessarily hate it; I ended up dropping it at episode 18 just because I lost the motivation to continue. I don't hate the show and I don't think it's bad but I just got bored.

6 is not that bad, when it comes up to 7-8-9 I have even seen people dropping a show with a rate of 10/10.
That's something I can't understand

Yeah because it's normal to drop a show and give it a 8/10 or even a 10/10.?????

I guess it's a bit spoilery though it's the first arc, so proceed with (a little) caution:



The series is about different sorts of syndromes related to sci-fi/fantasy with other characters, but it takes its title from this first arc and moment. It's kind of an introductory title instead of a descriptive one.

I do that when I only like part of a show. Either it has a misleading start like Osomatsu, the quality goes down, or it’s riddled with filler. All common occurrences.

I get this more with manga than anime, because manga will straight up lie to you. "This story will be a serious action story about the weakest person becoming the greatest one"... 3 pages later "ok, now it's going to be a yaoi fantasy love story"

As for Tower of God, it's two different stories. I didn't watch the anime because it was probably going to end at the first conclusion where I already knew the huge twist. As for the segment after that, the author admitted he didn't think about it enough and was quickly running out of ideas.

I dropped takagi-san and gave it 7 because I had already read the manga and felt that it was pointless to watch the same thing again. But I don't hate the anime at all. That is one reason for you.

that's what happened with me and deca dance this season. it changed into some weird gamer thing and i hate it. the whole art style changed and so did the story and it was NOTHING like the great 1st episode.

gakkou gurashi had a BRILLIANT bait and it had multiple and kept on going. incredibly well written.

the 1st season of showa genroku rakugo . it was basically a flashback arc and at first i was like wait no i dont want this i was loving the 1st episode and then it ended up being amazing and it went perfectly into the next season.

god of highschool: different human fighting styles and then giant stands and magical fruit

does eva count?? giant mechas and then you get bombarded with emotional instability

Zombie Land Saga was kind of a bait because if I remember correctly the first trailer and pictures made it look like an horror anime. It was nothing like that but I loved it and can't wait for season 2 now. :)

I don't understand this thread, you first say that sometimes you think an anime is gonna be something but it's not, and that this is bad, but not really since some anime were good even though they did that, but not really maybe it's just you and some other people didn't like it, and in the middle of this confusion, you complain about a specific anime whose flaws don't really have much to do about what you're complaining about

so what the hell is your point? that it sucks when you watch an anime you thought you'd like but it turns out you don't? yea, indeed, it does

It was the opposite for me, I liked the first episode but it was very generic. The second episode was like wtf is happening? But the show caught my attention at that point and now I'm enjoying it a lot.
