| Yesterday wo Uttate. Gosh it could've been amazing. It was alright but I feel like it was rushed. Would have been a lot better with a two cour season than the 12 episode series we got. |
| Prince of stride. First problem is that it‘s based on a otome game and they tried to make a sport anime out of it. And they failed so hard in my opinion. However the idea itself of a fictional sport that is like parkour is such a great idea itself. With a little bit more effort this could have been really interesting. But the story was so blunt and pointless it was a real disappointment. |
| toaru no index thing. It could have been so good. If it wasn't aimed at teenagers. The world looks so well built and interesting. A lot of characters could be real good. the power system looked great. but.. The way they acted was so obnoxious to me, I knew I didn't like it in 17 seconds !! Still watched 13 episodes. Still didn't like it. Hated the characters and the way they behaved. Obviously aimed a childs and was unbearable to me. |
| SAO just wasted its potential of not being animated. Such a loss. |
 |
| SSSS Gridman because of the generic ending, that was the perfect anime for villains to win because every other characters ARE SO FUCKING IRRELEVANT. |

| How many can we choose? 1-) Almost every VN Adaptation: Almost all of the ones include Eroge or extreme violence and profanity. Removed both and you have a bland plot. 2-) Every LN adaptation: Toaru Majutsu no Index is infamous for that for example. Oregairu while is highly praised still suffers from that problem. Arifureta is just a super horrible version of what the story was truly about. People would assume that is trash if they only watch the show without reading the novels. Just to name a few to clarify my point. Regardless how majestic they look, when you check the source material and you realize they only adapt from 60-70% of their content at best up to the point it feels you are reading a different story. By definition, they are "Adaptation" hence they can take some creative liberties. Don't think those liberties allow them to basically rewrite the source materials though. Now, with manga, aside from the Super Shounen series that everyone knows, the list will go on depending how level to detail your critique is willing to go. Among the few that some people might not remember are: 3-) Plunderer: Great manga. Horrible anime. Sora no Otoshimono suffers the same issue. From the same author. Was that made on purpose? Who knows. 4-) Yesterday wo Utatte: Great manga. Asspull ending to justify Haru's victory. Rushed Anime and horrible pacing. And they made the ending worse which was an impossible ordeal to begin with. 5-) Beelzebub: Great manga. Good Anime but wasted potential because the plot was converted to full comedy. Still funny and entertaining but not what it could have been. 6-) Gleipnir: Great manga. Weird Anime. Faithful but heavily censored and weird ending. 7-) Ichigo 100%: True Classic. Amazing manga. Even among the 20 Romance series of all time. Piece of crap Anime. 8-) ReLife: Great manga. They skipped the whole plot in the Anime and only showed the last chapters in Kanketsu-Hen, making the ending less impactful. 9-) Rurouni Kenshin: Amazing manga. After Kyoto everything is full Anime original. Wasted potential. 10-) Seikon no Qwaser: Great manga. Piece of crap Anime. How was this not a hentai? 11-) Sekirei/Maken-ki/Rosario Vampire: The 3 for the same problem. Amazing battle-action oriented series. Anime heavy ecchi series forgetting about the whole plot. 12-) Shinmai Maou no Testament: This is basically a hentai plot downgraded to an attempted PG-13 with the SoL situations or some ecchi series that fill more like a blue ball because nothing happens. Reading the novels you realize why that is the case. And the list can continue with series that deserve another season but yet don't get it so they fall in the category of wasted potential as well... |

| The back end of Darling in the FranXX. The first 14 episodes were as good as anything Trigger has put out...but although I still enjoyed the show on the whole, they really could have made the last 10 episodes so much better. |
   |
| Sword Art Online made me think it would be special after episode 1... then proceeded to take a massive dump on all of my hopes and expectations. |
 |
| paranoia agent could have been a game of throne style show about playground politics and cunning but then it dropped a tab of acid midway |
I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges.  |
| darling in the franxx, after it lost all its mystery everything went downhill |
| Mobile Suit Gundam F91. Could've been a 50+ episode Gundam epic, but instead got condensed into a 2 hour mess of a movie. |
| Darling in the franxx. I loved the first 6 ep. and then it fell off a cliff. you can tell they wrote out and sold the show on those 6 ep. and then had nothing for the rest of the show. |
| Food Wars. It started off so strong and slowly went into decline into that WTF ending... |
 |
| I'm very surprised no one has mentioned Tokyo ghoul.The anime would have been well praised like Fmab if it followed close to the manga. |

| Ishuukan Friends. Episode 9 showed a possible plot development but sadly, it went back to square one. |
 |
| Houseki no Kuni and Mahoutsukai no Yome. Because of annoying-ass subpar MCs, the whole lore and premise of both series were ruined for me. Could've been something magical and beautiful, but NOPE, destroyed by damsel-in-distress MCs with a sorry, almost deus-ex-machina-esque excuse for character development. |

| Mirai Nikki and 7DS are as generic as possible the series of their genres can be, except probably for Yuno. I also think that Bleach had potential to good because Kubo sure can design great characters. J-Tea-Chugger said: Sword Art Online is the definition of wasted potential, Amazing premise and a real gripping first episode but the rest of it flunks, and this is coming from someone whose first anime was Sword Art Online. Probably because it is your first anime so you could think of it has great premise and first episode. |

| Most derive from the end being very sloppy, rushed, or seemingly non-existent. Someone in here already mentioned Rurouni Kenshin. It was one of my earliest anime series back in 2016 and I still liked most of it enough to give it a 7/10, but the last third of the series is not a proper ending in any way, shape or form, and completely downgrades it from what could have been such a finer final product. There are a lot like this, some of which I rate as low as 4 and some as high as 7 for other factors, but the commonality is that something in their writing and how they fleshed out their details/worldbuilding/characterization was cheap-seeming, unintelligible, rushed, dumbed/watered down, too cliche and generic, or just absent. - Rurouni Kenshin (last third is a non-ending) - Babylon (Horribly rushed and badly explained second half) - Another (Second half that eschews all the atmospheric capital cultivated by the first half in favor of emulating generic slasher #9383838) - Id: Invaded (Poorly explained villain, ending) - Deca-Dence (Too short/rushed to fill out its premise and rushed ending) - Neon Genesis Evangelion (don't care much for either the last two episodes or EoE film as a series ending; dislike the way the surface level plot was completely abandoned for the abstract but to me it was done in such a way where you feel a connection to neither) - Spice & Wolf (Don't like the direction the second season takes the show with episodic mini-arcs, side characters, and cliffhanger ending) - Black Lagoon (Don't like the direction the second season takes the show with more episodic mini-arcs, character focus shift, and moving away from the premise of piracy and smuggling on the high seas) - Sakamichi no Apollon (great period setting and jazz music; too cliche romantic melodrama with poorly written/explained character actions and reactions) - Gilgamesh (Amazing premise; unfortunately marred by really low tier budget and production values) - AnoHana (I also think this could be improved with a little more insightful characterization and a little less melodrama) - I won't even mention all the ones primarily harmed by ending on cliffhangers left unresolved years later, like Kenpuu Denki Berserk, Juuni Kokuki, Nana, Zipang, etc. to name a few. |
| i really expected more from tokyo ghoul first season was good two was bearable but they completely butchered RE it was such a shame as i watch a huge fan of tokyo ghoul |

| Beastars - interesting setting and had a lot of promise, but bad execution. First few episodes were great but the whole ordeal with the Shishigumi was one of the dumbest things I'd ever seen. Tonikaku Kawaii - thought it was gonna be a cute marriage romance life between two mature adults, but instead was left with a perverted boy showing off his waifu and they blush at every. single. small. physical. interaction. It drives me nuts. +1 on Deca-Dence. And a bunch of anime that could've been amazing but were terribly adapted in comparison to the manga: Tower of God, Akame ga kill, Pandora Hearts, Noblesse, Tokyo Ghoul, etc. |

| Plunderer so much, it really had potential but... |
| I think Devil's Line and Bunny Girl. |

| babylon could have been AMAZING, but it ended up being literal crap with a confusing ending |

| O Maidens in Your Savage Season felt like a rough draft of a good script put to animation. Especially the ending needed work |
   I swear, I don't have a thing for blondes. |
| _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Island had a great plot twist that could be handled better. Basically, they decided to explain everything on the last episode, bombing you with too much information to process. The pacing was very poor to a point that I wasn´t surprised by the twist. It had the potential to be my favourite anime. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

| Absolute Duo. Seemed that could have been a great shonen but hypersexualizing it made it fall down like a plane with no fuel. The Ogro Fabbiani of anime. It was the goal of the weekend, Gamboa. Also Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars looked amazing and ended up being poorly made and with an unconclusive and nonsense story. |

| Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai. The story idea is really interesting, but the execution is bad. I guess this happens to most VN adaptations as most gets only 1 cour of anime when the source materials usually goes for more than 50 hours. But not only rushed, Oretsuba suffers from having a lot of unnecessary scenes too. Majo no Tabitabi. The story ideas brought up are great, but again the execution is not. Especially whenever they decided to put 2 stories in 1 episode, it's like they tell a story in bullet points. I still enjoy both but mostly because of the shock factor. |
