| Dr Stone was literally awful, the pacing and characters were so shit, it was rubbish and I couldn't even finish the first episode. I was disappointed because the synopsis sounded so interesting... I still dont understand how anyone could of enjoyed it. Also compared to the first season, Kakegurui XX just felt off. I really didn't enjoy it and ended up forcing myself to watch it in the hopes it got better. The pacing was weird and it kinda felt like the anime asspulling new ideas for the story that made literally no sense. I mean Yumeko was still crazy ass Yumeko so at least that wasn't ruined. That's all I can think of really, I guess I got pretty bored of Fire Force and I dropped it like 7 or 8 episodes in?? |

| Kaguya Sama and HitoriBocchi both had a decently good first episode. Then after a few more episodes it turned out really boring and repetitive. |

Midnight Occult Civil Servants - Yawn. Lost interest. so not most dissapointing, just shows you dropped after 2 minutes. dont think you got the right idea |

I only watched one episode of No Guns Life, but I watched 17 episodes of Demon Slayer and 3 of Midnight Occult Civil Servants. If you insist on shows that I've completed, then it's harder to come up with something. If I didn't drop it, then I wasn't very disappointed, was I? Well, let me try to come up with a few anyway. Demon Lord Retry - I was hoping it would move on from the hot springs development, but it never did. It just kind of dragged on in a boring way. That Time I God Reincarnated As a Slime - My favorite character got killed off early on. None of the other characters really measured up. Meiji Tokyo Renka - The rest of the show didn't measure up to the first episode. I really liked that first episode. Still, the rest of the show was pretty good. |

| 1. The rising of the shield hero First few episodes were ok, but then it turned into junky isekai with boring characters and episodes. The only way to make the MC look cool is by making everyone else look unrealistically rude and trashy, but that leads to inconsistency for characters like sword hero since they have to make everyone look bad except for Naofumi and his party. 2. That time I got reincarnated as a slime Concept and animation started off ok, but it turned into a junky isekai where all the MC does is acquire more allies and win more battles without any real threat. Really makes the story lacking in where it can go since all he's gonna do is consume more and more powers and that's it. 3. Fire force People hyped it up since the source material was promising and I thought the opening was good. It turned out to be a train wreck because the animation is choppy and even a lot of the fight scenes are lame. Characters aren't interesting, and there's no music where there should be some at times. It's hard to understand why people are fangawking over maki and tamaki or whatever since the show isn't even that good in the first place. |

| I' very selective and watch only a handful of shows, and drop early. Thus "disappointing" is maybe too strong a word. Of those I actually finished, the weakest of 2019 were: No Guns Life - Very shounenesque, confusing, and boring Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II - holy crap Dr. Stone - glorified kids show selling middle school chemistry as genius |

| OPM S2 Carole & Tuesday Demon Slayer (this one isn't bad, just nowhere close to a masterpiece yet) |

Dr. Stone is a glorified kids show but I'm not sure what you mean with the latter half of the sentence, Senku is definitly a genius. |
| 1. Nanatsu no Taizai, I don't need o explain why. 2. One Punch Man s2 3. Fire Force |

I worked in scientific research for some years, and Senku annoys the crap out of me. If anything he can be seen as a cartoonish character suited to interest middle schoolers into science. Which is a good thing, but certainly nothing I want to watch as an adult. So no season two for me. |

| Strike Witches: 501 Butai Hasshin Shimasu! -didn't just drop the ball. chucked it in a volcano Azur Lane -oozing wasted potential |
| I don't like to be too negative, so instead of listing the two or three shows I wanted to like but ended up flat-out disliking, I'll just list a few that I liked well enough, but had the potential to be much better. Boogiepop wa Warawanai (7/10) There were moments in this anime where it got to 9/10 sort of territory, especially the third arc, but the final arc was very disappointing for me, and the rest was so-so. It's also an anime which falls in to the trap of having too many characters and not focusing enough on the really interesting characters, which makes it a bit frustrating to watch. Overall I loved the eerie atmosphere created from the understated direction / sound design / art, but the plot just didn't grip me outside of the third arc and for moments in other arcs. Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo (6/10) Thought I was going to get a quirky and light-hearted but bold attempt to tell a story about sex. Devolved into bad melodrama, not doing anything interesting with the plot strands it set up in the first half. Also it's not about sex, it's about girls being nervous about the prospect of sex in a kind of unrealistic way. Not that these things always need to be realistic, but it's hard to get immersed when everything feels kind of... I guess I felt the drama was forced and unnatural. Premise, characters, art and overall production in terms of direction, sound etc. were all great though. Kanata no Astra (7/10) I must have been watching a different show up until that ending. I thought it had a serious plot with some light-hearted elements and after several awesome plot twists I expected it to shift in to a higher gear but instead the whole thing got resolved quickly and cheesily in one of the biggest let-down endings I've ever seen. I get why people like it. But I wanted more. Seriously likeable characters, excellent premise and plot up until the ending. |
| “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Aggregate scoring is bad for the anime fandom |
| I’d say: - OPM S2 - The Riding of the Shield Hero, I disliked it a lot - Kono Oto Tomare S2 |
 |
| I didn't watch a lot of new anime this year so the only ones I can thiink of were Rising of the Shield Hero and Enen no Shouboutai |
| If you're reading this and you haven't watched Mob Psycho 100, go watch it and then continue with what you were doing. Also, for the record, JoJo is great, it's fans are not. |

| I haven't even seen everything i wanted to from this year yet, and honestly out of everything i have seen the only thing I'd consider disappointing is that Black Fox movie. Seriously, I was really looking forward to that and it took a huge shit on my expectations. |
| Dr. Stone was hyped up so hard by manga readers, but it's not that great. It's a rather average anime with a mix of average and bad characters with absolutely abysmal comedy. |
| Depending on one's taste and age, shonen-esque can be a good or bad thing. I use it derogatiovely, because shounen is one of the least favorite genres within my shit taste. Your mileage may differ. And it's here in my list because NGL is tagged seinen, but watching it didn't feel like seinen at all, so I was disappointed. |

| 3 - Kimestu no Yaiba (6/10) On the beggining, when you try to understand how the show work, KnY was extremely promising, specially with it's gorgeous action scenes. I actually gave it an 8/10 for a while. But after sometime you could see the problem of the direction of the show, and how they try to stretch every scene, even when it's supposed to be a normal paced scene. But the worst part was the Mountain arc, the arc that shows how childish and poorly written most of the characters are. Final episodes redeemed this aspect a bit, and the movie can save the show, but it was a disappointment nonetheless 2 - Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo (6/10) I was giving this show an 8/10 after episode 6. I was so sure this would be one of the best shows of the year, specially because it was extremely funny until then. Unfortunately it really went downhill afterwards and it had one of the worst last episodes I've seen this year 1 - Psycho-Pass 3 (4/10) I've rewatch the first 2 seasons and the movie, and managed to watch Sinners of the System before Season 3 aired. Probably one of my most expected shows of 2019. I'm still shocked not only because of how convoluted and boring this was, but how this season was just an excuse to milk the franchise as much as the writers could. Is it so hard to give an good conclusion to the Franchise? The show was begging to have an arc about trying to find a better solution to the Sybil System. Well, I guess I will pretend only S1 and the movie happened |

| Dungeon. Enjoyed first season. Loved bell but he gotten just bland to me in season 2. His harem also grew x3 Shield Hero. One of the isekai adaptions I was looking forward to but didn't meet up to my expectations. Sherlock. Hey I was expecting a good mystery but nope after the delay, I can't take this series seriously lol |
| -OPM S2 -MHA S4 (so far) -Fire Force No Guns Life is also very boring and pointless but I didn't expected anything to begin with. Also people sell Vinland Saga like it is as good as Berserk and I'm still trying to find why, because is not. Finally, I liked Demon Slayer, but it was definitively better before Zenitsu and Inosuke showed up (as much as I like Boar Boi, the series went down a lot in tone to be more childish and immature. Like one scene you have them dying and suffering against poison and the next one they are fighting like kids and screaming) |
| For me it will be: Grisaia: Phantom Trigger. One of the best things about the original trilogy was it's cast. Especially the main character. He is the best Harem King, period, and you can fight me on that. The thing that made him so likable is that despite being trained and experienced assasin, he was still compassionate and literally despised killing to the point of vomiting, and only killed those who truly deserved, like Makina's mother and refused to kill mourning father of one of victims of tragic accident, who merely snapped, despite being totally permitted to. Even the girls were likable, with each of them having troubled backstory. What we got in the sequel? And edgy trap with a sword, who despite living in 21st century despises guns, and his sidekick is a trigger happy psychopath, who clearly enjoys killing along with few other not less mentally unstable girls. Danmachi season 2: The second arc was the worst execution of Damsel in Distress and White Knight tropes I have ever seen in anime, period. Bell did not had a single reason to risk yet another war with other familia other than his overblown chivalry. Also, Haruhime's self hstered and constant pessimism made this arc a real chore. Other than this two instances, I usually knew which series should be expected to flop. Like OPM S2 and Nanatsu No Taizai due to studio changes, or simply was not hyped enough to be disappointed. However, we had quite a few pleasent surprises, like Demon Girl Next Door, for example. It was s good year. |
