I was excited to watch Karneval, but it turned out to be pretty bad. That art work is pretty nice though.

Gurren Lagann, I've heard people talk about it so much but when I watched it I was so disapointed. The way they did the fighting spirit thing was just stupid.

I wouldn't say it was 100% awful, but it certainly did not live up to my expectations. I read some of the manga and a lot of the web novel beforehand so I noticed how many scenes were taken out or rushed through and it ended up being almost 70% just fight scenes and stuff.

Also,
Himouto! Umaru-chan
Like, I saw a lot of memes and stuff online with people saying they liked it or it was relatable but personally I found the MC super super annoying and obnoxious to the point that I had to drop the show.

Mekakucity Actors was hyped for me cuz I really like the Kagerou Project songs, but the artwork for the anime was subpar and the plot was kinda all over the place and confusing.

I have 2
1. Kimi no na wa
1. Angel beats (sorry everyone)

I generally don't get very hyped before watching any anime because I'm aware that there are good and bad opinions about every anime out there.

Now, I actually gave both those anime a good 7, but before watching each of them I thought that they would both be solid 10s. There were so many people talking about those series, so many good opinions, so much hype that I was prepared to be "blown away".

So to my disappointment...I didn't enjoy them as much as I expected. However, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy them at all because they were both really good. They just seemed slightly overrated to me.

Re:Creators (dropped it), Your Lie in April, Erased, Tokyo Ghoul, Noragami and Koe No Katachi (not really awful unlike others but it was much worse than I was expecting after all that hype and later reviews).

Completed everything except Re:Creators. I wouldn't recommend any of these to anyone.

I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

Charlotte: Expected a lot from it because I like Jun Maeda's writing but it turned out to be rushed beyond belief, especially the ending.

Rewrite: Again, expected lots from it because I like Key but I can't even describe how bad that was.

Erased - I hated it from episode 5 onwards and I couldn't finish this shit.
Kizumonogatari - seriously... I like the monogatari series a lot and I know that some arcs suck balls but my god this has to be the worst.
Psycho Pass 2 - I don't think I have to say why.

I never really get hype for shows
Except when its another season of a show i liked,
i guess am the only one who can hype myself up
I dont have much faith in other peoples opinions or trailers and descriptions

I was incredibly hyped to watch Attack On Titan S2 but felt disappointed. It was still really good and one of my favourites, but compare it to S1 and there is a definite drop in quality.

Inuyashiki.

It was the first time in a while I took a current recommendation, and after the first two episodes, I was completely disappointed. I finished it, but wasn't awed like I was told.

SAO - How the story developed was just bad. It dragged for some weird reason, like after they got out. They had to go back in I'm just like,"Why would you play a similar game that nearly killed you?" Like where's the common sense.
Naruto - I stopped watching anime for a couple of years because of this. After finding out that he will end with Hinata I was just like what!?!?! Why?

I wish i could also get extra hyped like other humans
When someone says a show is awesome or the best thing ever, i dont immediately think / assume i am going to enjoy it. because they are talking about their preference or just marketing

When sites were praising black clover i felt nothing
when people praised mirai nikki it was like maybe they have weird tastes

overrall i am unable to be fully invested in other peoples opinions like omg if you like it i so have to watch it asap brb yolo ciao
it makes me kind of sad because i want to be like you humans with your hype and stuff

oooh btw
SAO was one of my first and it was truly awesome and enjoyable for me to watch

+ 1 for Your Name/Kimi no Na Wa.

I had high expectations for this film. It was not awful though, but the story was just boring. The visuals on this film is great, but left a disappointment.

It's not even that great visually. It's on the level of your average big budget animation movie, and miiiiiles below most Ghibli movies or stuff like GitS, Akira and Redline. It's just drowned in gradients and filters (and has some really sexy backgrounds)

I read about it and premise sound so awesome, 1st episode gave me high expectation, but it went down after 3-4 episodes later.
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse
Same as ^, first episode had lot of death and maturity in it, but it ended like a cheap anime.
