| Attack on Titan had a lot of potential after it's fairly impressive start but its tedious pacing during the middle episodes and pretty uninteresting characters let it down. |

| Tokyo Ghoul probably. However, I guess you could already guess it was going to fail since it tried to fit a huge part of the manga in 12 episodes. |

I am even more eager to finish Zankyou myself to see what's all the fuss around :D It started off good, but the motives for the protagonists were weak. The show introduced two characters that didn't help but instead derailed the story. |

| SAO - Atleast the world setting is interesting Guilty Crown - Wasted production and idea A/Z - Everything went wrong after episode 3 Angel Beats - This should get atleast 24 episodes Akame ga kill and Tokyo Ghoul - Manga are awesome but anime version is .... |
-Notorious- said: ninjastarforcex said: snk is super popular... wasted? True. What about Tokyo Ghoul? First episode was pretty interesting and the last one, but I would not recommend the rest of it.. SnK is popular all right but it isn't as interesting as I thought it would be. |

| Sword Art Online without a doubt |
Killaclown said: I stopped watching around halfway because it got to Romancey (after they beat some big baddy, cant really remember its been awhile). does the action ever get picked up again? I can't remember. I watched it years ago. |
 |
| Tokyo Ravens Could've been soooo much better, if not for the pacing issues. |
| Blood looks better on the floor. |
| Angel Beats It could have been one of my most fave anime. I love the idea of it, but the characters. I wanted to know how they died. |
 |
| K-Project, Another, Hamatora, Darker than Black...just a few. |

xRatatosk said: Another was alright.....until the end >.> and the ending was horr-you know what you're right. I found it pretty laughable from the start even though the ideas were great (like the whole extra student thing) but it didn't really deliver. |
Enyo- said: -Notorious- said: True. What about Tokyo Ghoul? First episode was pretty interesting and the last one, but I would not recommend the rest of it.. SnK is popular all right but it isn't as interesting as I thought it would be. Omg, an opinion. :O :D I wouldn't call this a wasted potential since the show is strongest in it's story. And if you didn't like that, than you most certainly didn't like the characters, but that's an opinion. I mean I think that Clannad sorta wasted it's potential... |

GlaringDream said: Aldnoah Zero, it was the first time I felt disappointed after sitting through an anime. What was that even??? It felt like it was building up to something great with a good pay off, and then it went "HAHA NOPE." I want to erase it from memory. There's a season 2 coming in January. |

Yet you have given it a 7/10. That is interesting . . . X3blizzard said: I think u mean sao season 1 cause sao season 2 is pretty good, So you think the first season of SAO was not that good? Then why did you give it an 8/10? What's wrong with MAL users not speaking their true opinions? If you think it was good, then say so. Do not be afraid. |
| I like anime. |

| SAO had potential with that cool premise but ultimately failed after Kirito started his unintentional harem hunt and when the excessive honeymoon episodes came in. Nisekoi...I didn't see it having potential lol. If it was extended to 24 episodes, still nothing would have changed. :| The manga is at 100 something chapters (IIRC) and no girl has been chosen yet. |
vongola-undecimo said: because the characters of SAOI are/were amazing, that why it had so much fucking potential. yes i don't like the plot, fucking battlefield bs where a girl tries to seek for attention in an indirect way. girl aint even a 10/10 outside of that virtual game. could have made a romance just for the climax nahhh continued with that shit plot.Interval said: sao 2 has a shit plot and wasted potential How can something have shit plot and wasted potential,i'm pretty sure wasted pontential iimplies it coulld have been good,but was'nt.......whereas something with shit plot was doomed from the start saoII is a disappointment, and I just hope the last 13 episodes will change my view of it |

The way it is set up initially, there could have been an interesting modernized parody of Romeo & Juliet, as the Yakuza and the Mafia are like the Montagues and Capulets. But that probably wouldn't have sold nearly as well as endless romcom bullshit, particularly as a shounen series. I still enjoyed it though, I thought it was at least relatively well executed and Shaft makes the ridiculous reaction faces from the Manga come to life, but it wasn't anything particularly special. |
Feaor said: Danpmss said: What about everyone dropping it at episode 8 I think? I really need to watch SSY, I'm pretty sure I'd love it but I'm never in the mood to watch it.Go read the book, there are more detailed information about them there. But overall, the anime was an incredible adaptation, I hardly see people bad talking it or finding it disapointing o.O The only reason people dropped it was because of one kiss between guys in the anime, which actually had a good explanation if you get further into the anime. wasnt some fan-service bullshit like other animes ( SaO ). okay there could have been more about fiends and karma devils but to call it wasted potential? nah dont think so. |
 |
| episode 1-3 of sao where quite good then the rest degraded into shit. One of the earlier anime I watched was the legend of legendry heroes and had loads of wasred potential. Why is it so hard for anime to have generic but good fantasy titles. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Death note for obvious reasons Phantom : rftp : It was a really good watch but the ending kinda sucked in my opinion. Zankyou no terror : I still gave it a 8 but they really could have fleshed out the characters more and they should have never added 5 in to the bunch. |

I gave Nisekoi a pretty good score (8/10) because it made me laugh a helluva lot, and Shaft made "mundane" things epic to watch. But dude, your idea would have been glorious. The series does make some allusions to Romeo and Juliet (the setting, the play at the end, etc...), but it's not enough obviously. |
