| Mahouka Koukou, the setting and world are great but imo its really let down by the characters...if only it had a better MC. Zankyou no Terror is another one that needed to get rid of useless characters... |

Godsuya is perfect in all aspects. I agree with the rest of the characters being a huge letdown. That's exactly why he sucked. Emotionless, stoic and flawless from the beginning to the end...whats interesting about that? Because of that there was a complete lack of tension throughout the show. He never showed any signs of struggle, had zero character development, and its hard to say he even had a "character" . I mean, I like OP MC's but Tatusya was just too much. It doesn't help that everyone else was sucking his dick either. Brb as well as being a student he's the world's greatest engineer, can preform complex magical calculations in milliseconds and can solve pretty much any problem on a whim. None of that makes him a good character. Tatsuya sucks |

| The more I think about Zankyou no Terror, the worse it gets |

crosx said: Zankyou no terror. The first expisode was 8.5/10 but the rest... This. After the motorcycle scene I was convinced it was AOTS, but it turned to crap in later episodes. |
Machination said: - Kokoro Connnect Definitely not. It started out with no potential at all and got a whole lot better. |
| Angel Beats. I've said this a gazillion (more like 5) times, they should of made more episodes. I believe that they tried to fit too much in 13 episodes. It actually didn't do that bad of a job but I still think it could been a whole lot better. |

Kyoukai no Kanata: It started out with an interesting plot and so-so characters, but I have no idea what happened in the last couple of episodes. Also why did they put in a filler?? Log Horizon: Once again, I liked the plot but the stupidity of the characters made it a drag to watch. Pupa: I don't know what I expected but it sure as hell wasn't this. |

Throw the other one back in the water I haven't watched the other one you listed but to in my opinion no anime can come close to MoD's awfulness |
| Kyousou Giga (TV)- Ep.1 introduced this interesting family, and the supernatural setting. Also had colorful art and good animation. But then they decided to focus on a random girl who solved her problems by beating them with her toy hammer... and that's who were supposed to sympathize with. |

Everything's subjective but "not being funny" is really up to the individual watcher. Something like "Oh this show could have been better if the plot went this way" is a legitimate reason but the thing with KHR, was that it never had potential until later on when it switched over to a different genre. And hey I haven't even watched most of it. Just stating what other people've said. |

I was mainly talking about the Shounen part because the Anime dropped the Gag Act at 20 Episodes. |

| Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I haven't even watched the anime entirely myself yet, but I will still mention it because it's obvious. The original visual novel series is a fucking masterpiece, so the potential is huge. But based on what others have written about the anime adaptation and the few snippets I've seen of it myself... they didn't come close. I mean, if you go for the anime, you won't even get the whole story as it is now. There are eight main arcs in Umineko, and the one and only anime season of it covers the first four. No more. So you get HALF the story. I'm sure there's a few people at least who doesn't know better and simply doesn't realise that there's much more to it than what you get in the anime. I feel bad for them. |
parfaited said: mayukachan said: It started out as a gag manga/anime, how does that have potential? you're implying that gag anime doesn't have potential and that is fucking ridiculous nooo im not omg i was assuming the person who voted for KHR was saying that it got worse or had potential as a battle shounen when it's not supposed to be |
gedata said: keragamming said: Agree, the anime took out a few things, but that's understandable since those scenes are really disturbing. All I remember them removing is Esdeath's torture lesson They removed some scenes and the fighting scenes are horrible (IMO anyway) Edit: Not that this is poor adaptation but I expected more from White Fox. i just cannot find the same enjoyment as when I read through manga (maybe because I already knew everything?) |

parfaited said: Sorry I was being a little hyperbolic. I guess I thought "why would they commit the entire 1st episode to this family, only to turn the focus to this girl." I couldn't take anything anyone did seriously because the next scene would be Koto and her 2 ghost buds doing some comedy routine. My expectations were betrayed! :(Insouciance said: Kyousou Giga (TV)- Ep.1 introduced this interesting family, and the supernatural setting. Also had colorful art and good animation.

But the rest of the series goes on to tell you why this girl is not just a "random girl". I'm just going to assume you didn't watch the rest of it and added it to your completed list by mistake. |
| GANTZ: Cool concepts and setup ruined by borderline retarded characters, ungodly pacing, abysmal CG and an ending that leaves much to be desired |
Take care of yourself |
| Durarara. Why people like that show is so beyond me. I can understand crap like SAO being liked because that's wish fulfillment power fantasy, but Durarara is just straight up wasted potential. Stylish, but still pretty damn boring. |
| Tokyo Ghoul - so much potential, but it fell short after a few episodes. Last episode was great though! Danganronpa - video game was GREAT, but couldn't fit well into 11 or 12 -ish eps, got confusing quickly |

Thank you.How it gets so much recognition and now hype with the upcoming S2 just completely baffles me. Now obviously expectations were very high after Baccano!,but Durarara just failed at encapsulating that eccentric characters mixed with creative action scenes that made Baccano! work (not to mention the nonlinear storytelling).It just really enjoyed waiting your time especially with those 3 "main" high school brats,they get so much screen time (because we want to make them important to the plot hurr-durr). All the interesting characters barely appeared or did anything throughout. |
| Yeah, I agree with DRRR!! too. I just hope the second season focuses on different characters (Shizuo and Celty pls) and not on our generic main trio. |
EdenB said: Did u guys ever watch an anime that starts as a really great one, but then it starts to let you down ? Well my friend you just described Bleach in one sentence. Up to ep 51 it was as awesome as it get, great story, good concept, cool music and after that just downhill. Well SAO did the same mistake. As soon as i red the description i thought to myself "damn that must be fricking amazing" before i was let down by stupid characters, fanservice, harem route and crappy fighting animation. |

| Guilty Crown- Amazing OST Great Story Refreshing characters Beautiful romance Yet the MC gets punished REALLY bad for saving the world. FUCK that. |
 |
| Deadman Wonderland. It was a great show up until the end, very disappointing. And the manga is so good, too. |
 |
| Sword Art Online - I have no idea how they made the first few episodes so good and then rushed it like maniacs. That had so much potential. I'll expand and say that many shows had good concepts and poor execution (Angel Beats is one, in my opinion) - but SAO stands out as it was actually a good show after the wasted potential, making me think they could easily make it a 10/10 if they didn't rush it. I've yet to watch season 2 so can't say much about that. |

leftycool said: crappy fighting animation. Are you talking about the fights or the animation,cuz i'm sure the 3 things sao did right were the premise (and first few episodes),animation and OST |

| Pokémon. If they based it on the games or one of the Manga Series it would of been great. But noooo we have to target children..... |
