For me, when I saw Tonikaku Kawaii at the first time, I thought it'd a mature show, but it was actually a fucking god falling in love with a 13yo kid
We had no romance development as well.
Read light novels!

All space related animes actually. Because I am in love with Star Wars series I thought I would like any other space anime but it's always a let down to me. I just finished Cowboy Bebop in that genre, sad.

Konosuba and Tejina-senpai. I know that with comedies it's either hit or miss, but I didn't find its humour funny at all. Didn't have that big of expectations for Tejina, but Konosuba was super hyped so that was a major disappointment. Then there are Diabolik Lovers. I wanted hot vampires and some kind of decent reverse harem. Well... didn't go well - from trash MC to unlikable side characters besides Sakamakis.

I thought I would really like Evangelion but the whole Anime was just like Teenager insecurities and overthinking for no reason. It was really disappointing for me.(Now dont start mentioning me just because I didnt enjoyed it)

Digimon Savers.
Worst Digimon season ever: unlikeable and straight up hateable characters, ugly art style, okayish plot and so on.

I feel like my friends tend to overhype certain series. For me it was Jojo and Seven deadly sins. I found the first one to be pretty trash and the second one to be pretty boring.

I didnt watch I'm a Spider, but I agree that Goutobun is nothing special. For me, it's more like a slice-of-life than a romance show or something. It should have more drama imo

Talking about romance, I though Horimiya could have been the new Kare Kano, but instead it's just an average high school romcom.

I would be curious to see how its mean score would change if we didn't consider the scores given by those who had already read the manga (it's the same logic behind sequel bias).

Yeah I agree with you. I mean, I like the show, but it doesnt makes you feel excited to watch the next episode, you know? Even Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun makes you more excited to the next episode than Horimiya...

Anyways, at least the show is better than the majority of romcoms that we have nowadays

Well for me it is the shows that I dropped. Fairy Tail at Episode 30 and Bleach at Episode 13. I also hated Sword 'Ass' Online. Although I did complete it with sheer will power.

FMA:B, while it was still good (7/10), I think it failed to live up to my high expectations due to the score. I don't find it anything outstanding, nor do I have any major problems with it...

Code Geass. Thought it would be a masterpiece but it was far from that.
Kiss Him Not Me, thought the reverse harem would be cool, ended up hating the show so much I gave it a 1, and it serves as my biggest score difference at -6.10.
also haruhi season 2, the endless eight should be classified as a form of torture jesus christ.

sword art online. i thought i would like it, because i like isekai Animes. But after 10 episodes of 6/10 material, it just dropped in quality for me. it become so boring that i dropped it and it took me a year to get back to it. i wont say the series itself is horrible because i heard they cut a lot of content from the light novel but the anime of SAO is garbage

For me it's Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu and Great Pretender.
I don't like how the MC always get interrupted when he start to change his life in Great Pretender. But then, there will be no story if he's not.
That was momment i realized i don't like this anime

I checked out AnoHana for two reasons—1) lots of user recommendations between it and one of my favorite anime and 2) it was on Netflix.
It's definitely one of the most overrated anime I have ever seen and I don't know why I bothered to watch the whole thing lol.
