What is one show that you think started out really good, but then ended up being a disaster?

As much as I hate this anime, I actually thought the premise of it was pretty good.

However, it decided to take a one way trip to generic psychological anime land, and turned into a horrible anime.
How can you call anything "generic anime land" with a favorite list like that?

Because I didn't call it a generic anime, I called it a generic psychological anime, that does nothing different than every other psychological anime. It's just fucking garbage isn't it.

Uh-oh, another pretentious Eva fan claiming their taste is better than someone else's. Looks like even the fans of Eva just have generic personalities that are no different than every other NGE fan. What a surprise.

Can I include this mystery anime called, Rokka no Yuusha?
Well I'm disappointed with the flow of the story, and there's a shit ending I guess.
Idk why I spend so much time in writing such irrelevant replies ._.

It's Owari no Seraph for me. The first episode was killing it, but then they decided to introduce the high school which totally didn't feel right for the setting and it went downhill after that.

Please name one show that came before Eva that did anything similar. The reason Eva seems generic to you is because other psychological shows are majorly influenced by it and use ideas from it. I think you just didn’t like it, but you want to have a reason so you seem like you know what you’re talking about. That’s just my two-cents.

Kiznaiver really started out strong for me. I'm like digging it until it slowly but surely pulled me away from what I initially like about it and I'm left with a shambled mess of a melodrama that didn't hit the mark.

Also, Rokka no Yuusha. Didnt quite know what it is even at the end. Talk about disappointing.

Your logic is a little flawed here.
So you are saying that just because it did all these generic psychological tropes before any other anime, it should be held with higher regard. That's like saying Dragon Ball should be held in high regard just because it did a lot of the common shonen tropes first. Just because both of these series did what they did first, doesn't mean it stands up to today's standards.

Lol, what? NGE isn't even a psychological anime. The only "psychological" aspect of NGE is the fact that is has characters who undergo psychological trauma. The majority of NGE's screen time is dedicated towards characters either fighting Angels or trying to figure out how to fight Angels. If NGE was a psychological series, then the Angels would just be projections of Shinji's psyche and the entire series would come from Shinji's unreliable perspective. Or at least something like that. Nothing like that ever happens in NGE. Yes, there are trippy scenes, but those are concentrated in the last few episodes and are quite clearly supposed to contrast with the rest of the series. The lone fact that the leads are all deeply flawed characters does not make for a psychological series.

Okay, I can see reading comprehension is not your strong suit. The “generic tropes” wouldn’t have been generic in 1995 when the show came out, because they did it first. Not everyone likes this show, but it is pretty much a general consensus that everyone agrees the impact it had on anime and the industry is huge.

Deadman Wonderland. It had a wonderful premise and a fascinating cast of characters, but the last two episodes relied on deus ex machina nonsense and had nearly the entire cast out of character.

Akame ga Kill, Juuni Taisen, Log Horizon, and Seven Deadly Sins.

Juuni Taisen was the only I gave a bad score, but that anime really didn’t know where to progress and what characters should’ve been kept in the story. Plot armor is also kind of boring, however, that would’ve been better than the alternative. [Spoilers] It just became a clusterfuck of uninteresting characters fighting the interesting characters who were reanimated into mindless zombies... Thus, removing those characters interesting personality traits.

considering you gave SAO a 7, meaning that you thought it was good, I think log horizon wasn't the show for you, but for what it does, it clearly isn't bad imo.

EDIT: you consider log horizon to be a disaster but you gave it a 8? wtf?

I could say the same thing to you, but switch out SAO for Log Horizon and vice versa. I thought that SAO was really great when I started watching anime and I still think it’s pretty decent. I gotta agree with you for SAO’s 2nd season. It was pretty bad and I kind chickened out on giving the score I should have given it (borderline 4/10). I gave Log Horizon’s 1st season an 8. It was really good. But the 2nd season felt out of touch with the first and became pretty uninteresting in the end. Then again, it was a few years ago since I saw either of those anime.

I don't get how you could say that of me, but for the animes that is far from being from good to catastrophic since what OP meant(if I understood well) was animes that were good at first then became shit, not animes who were good for half the series then became shit.

well imo log horizon is more of a case of second's season having trouble with 5-10 episodes in the middle(I personnaly skipped the kids arc) but overall it was very enjoyable, well that of course s only my opinion.

Turns out only one character is real and the rest are NPCs and the whole anime is like playing an MMO on Single Player with max stats. No progression, no story, just filler. An anime of filler.

oh yeah how the hell did I forget about SAO. Personally I still loved it up until about half way through the first season, then when it got to tentacle rape and stuff it was kinda meh, but still with some good episodes, and the second season was pretty mediocre throughout.

I don't understand why people name Darling in The FranXX here - in the beginning is was crappy fanservice show about giant robots with boobs and in the second half is mediocre dystopian drama / guren lagann clone. I don't say it becomes good but it's still better then first half.


Nah, Darling in The FranXX just became another Japanese propaganda show for people overthere to breed disguised as a dystopian show with some fanservice and robots. Nothing more, nothing less. That bothered me mostly.

Sure, most people overhere like fanservice (me included), but I really wished DiTF was not just another Japanese breed propaganda show. If they dropped the propaganda, the show would be much better for sure.

Kado is my biggest disappointement in anime. Went amazingly for the majority of the series but the last 3 episodes went full shounen with weird shit happening for some fucking reason.

Others would be Erased, Juuni Taisen, Gangsta and most likely a couple of others that i dont really remember.
