For me that would be Bleach, up until the completion of Soul Society arc, Bleach was amazing. The characters, atmosphere, animation, story, soundtrack were all superb. It's really sad that it became trash so fast :(

Go watch sword art online and know what real wasted potential is
"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

Sword Art Online. First few episodes were epic but ended mediocre. And don't even get me started on the Alfheim arc.

I'd say that while there numerous ones I feel that fall under "They Wasted A Perfectly good show", one instance of this in my opinion would be Gundam Seed Destiny. That show had the potential to possibly elevated the CE timeline to be well-loved...and instead, it wound up becoming a disaster that became infamous for the second half of the show becoming a mess. I'd explain a lot of the reasons why this show was underwhelming, but I feel too many people did so already.

Agree with some people here. . .

Swort Art Online. . . Beautiful animation, interesting concept, and looked promising in the first episode, then it turned to. . . . . . . well, you know

I actually like Sword Art Online (a good way to get flayed alive, I know,) and even I think it's a valid answer to this - albeit for different reasons than most of the people here. I enjoyed it through the end of the Aincrad arc. Then the parts that made it magical disappeared (the "trapped in a death game" setting, for one.)

I think it could have been great if he kept it in Aincrad for a few full arcs and then just ended it. Or had done just about ANYTHING but what he did in the other arcs.

Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

Fairy Tail, I mean why use the concept of ultra powerful wizards beating each other with magically infused fists with martial arts passed on by literal dragons so they can stop a guy that is the literal embodiment of death if you're going to turn it into a fan service riddled,corny, generic shonen anime.

Akame ga Kill could have been more than an entertaining battle shounen if the author would have tried to develop it's characters and world a bit more instead of just throw random concepts to make the series cooler and made the 80% of it characters living fodder, but, well, nothing can be helped about that.

It's supposed to be a death tournament between heroes of mythology

Does it ever feel like that? Nope, King Arthur was a woman for no reason other than being a waifu for the bland harem lead of this p0rn game adaptation. There's no feeling of tension, it's just bland guy getting waifus that power up his magical ability to then beat up random villains that are much stronger than him, between that there's a ton of horribly written dialogue

Zero is a bit better but even then there's the issue of the directors not knowing about directing and pacing, on top of that well the story went down the drain when random shit was happening so it could tie to f/sn but this didn't feel natural at all

Even if the initial premise was executed by like kubo or people that made naruto fillers, it would have been better because at least they know how to convey basic emotion/tension. Fate is just blah all the way
