Last Exile.

I really liked the art and animation, even some of the characters were awesome (Alex) but in the end I couldnt bring myself to liking the series very much at all, I didnt even know what was going on for the first 20 episodes!

Hell Girl- I thought it looked really cool and I wanted to watch it, but when I watched the first two episodes it seemed every episode followed a similar plot, and I lost interest.
Air- I heard it was good and it sounded interesting but after the first 3 episodes I just wasn't amused at all. I didn't get a single small chuckle out of it or even a moment of interest.
I know I only tried a couple episodes, but that really is all it takes for me to judge the series.


I also gave up on Air tv once, but then later I gave it another shot and it was one of the best animes I have ever seen.

As for me they are.
Vampire Knight Guilty- Normally hate that style of anime, in all honesty i watched Vampire knight thinking it was Rosario Vampire. The art intrigued me so that was the only reason I kept watching. I ended up being ok with Vampire Knight. One might say I enjoyed it. However, Vampire Knight Guilty was dull and a useless addition to the series in my opinion.

Fate/Zero-I have so many negative things to say I will only say the thing I liked about this anime. It was a well drawn anime. Probably because its budget was horribly horribly high and wasted on an anime like that.

Fate/Stay Night- Went in neutral. Was ok with it. The art was poor and it didn't really piss off religious viewers like the above did. The art however was terrible and the plot was mediocre. I honestly really tried to enjoy this anime. I just couldn't.

Bakemonogatari-Fighting with Mathematic utensils never did it for me.

Panty and Stocking-Sure it's slightly funny. But what else is there to like?

Kenshin (3rd non manga oriented season)- I recomend people who like Kenshin never watch the last season of this anime. It was so terrible. Just stick with the OVA's and wait for the Movie Remake (or ova remake, I can't remember which) to come out.

Zero no Tsukaima 3rd season- Honestly this anime should have stopped after season 2 in my opionion. Season 2's climatic ending was beautiful and heartfelt and could have ended the series absolutely perfectly. Then season three had to come and ruin it. The previous two seasons had quite a bit of fan service, which I was both fine with and enjoyed; but Oh My Goddess Season 3 had a lot of fan service. All fanservice and no plot actually. I very much disliked the creators for selling out like that. The fourth season was decent, but compared to 3 it was amazing, yet compared to 1 and 2 it was also crap.

Hurahi 2nd season- Should be obvious. The repeat episodes got me. Think I made it to the 9th repeat and just said "fuck it"

The only anime I truly, truly, hate is Code Geass. I want every single second of time that I spent on that anime back.

Hakouki. I think it going to be a cool samurai show like Rurounk Kenshin but it turned out to be a trashy shoujo reverse harem where the guys have 'homosexual' tendency towards each other. It is so bad that I refused to put it in my list, even as "dropped".

Stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy. But probably most of all, as a bit of an Abe fan, I was most disappointed that I couldn't enjoy NieA Under 7.

Geez this is an old thread.

Texhnolyze and Baccano. Both I could see the goodness in it but I just wasn't able to connect and really get into the show. Ended up being rather bored by both of them, maybe a rewatch will help.

Tokyo Ghoul, I was very interested from the synopsis but the show was a complete mess. I'm not sure what they were trying to do, the tone was kinda all over the place. I honestly didn't care about any of the characters because they were pretty bland and poorly developed so none of the drama had any impact on me.

Durarara - Liked the opening, and it looked pretty interesting.
I'm 9 episodes in and nothing really happened yet. :l
Code Geass - Watched season 1, but I've never felt like finishing season 2.

SAO - Pacing fell apart after the 3rd Ep
Bleach - Would have been better if it just ended after the first arc and stopped trying to grasp for straws
Noragami - I liked the last few episodes, but the first few were way too slow for an action-based show IMO. Too much of the kid emoing around.
Mawaru Penguindrum - Can't help but dislike majority of the cast. Doesn't help when they spend 2-3 min an episode on the subway-sign interlude and the survival strategy sequence. It was entertaining the first time, not so much on the tenth.

Glasslip - After watching Nagi no Asukara, I was sure that Glasslip would be amazing. However, although it retained P.A. Works' gorgeous art and nice music, everything else dissolved into a complete atrocity. Terrible- or rather, nonexistent- plot and character development made this one of the worst anime I've ever watched. Nevertheless, with hopes that it might improve, I dragged myself through the entire series. Ugh. It was a complete waste of my time.

5 Centimeters per Second - I feel like I probably raised my expectations too high for this. In addition, I don't think I've had enough experience to truly empathize with the characters in this movie, and that's why it was kind of a letdown for me.

Sword Art Online - It was great, for about five or so episodes. When ALO rolled around, it just spiraled into a madness of poorly-made decisions, faulty logic, and pointless fanservice. Characters such as Asuna had so much potential, until seeing Kirito made them into nothing more than, well, fanservice characters.

Ouran High School Host Club - Now I'm not saying this anime wasn't decent. It was definitely really funny and creative, but for some reason, it got incredibly boring to me. Some of the characters that were introduced seemed completely useless. Perhaps I need to rewatch it; it's been a while.

Kamigami no Asobi- As someone who's really into mythology, the first episode was enough of a disappointment that I didn't want anything to do with this anime. Ever again.

Bokurano - I really expected to like this one a lot but it was so repetitive that I just couldn't care about the character deaths. That kind of shock factor just kind of loses impact after its 2nd or 3rd time being used.

Tezuka's "Phoenix" from 2004 or something. I tried my best to get into Hi no Tori but all I thought was 'booooring'. I guess it was revolutionary back when Tezuka wrote the manga but compared to what I've already seen, this anime version (which of course only covers an extremely small portion of the manga) sure disappointed me.

Same. Hi ni Tori was lame as hell. Too weird and only one or two episodes were good.

Glasslip - I am a sucker for slice of life/romance shows. When I saw the preview for Glasslip, I was amazed! The art was beautiful and the trailer gave off that "we are going on a feels trip" feel. However, I was very disappointed. Most of the cast wasn't likable and nothing made sense. What a waste.

Parasyte. The premise is cool, but it's just another shonen power fantasy with a boring, whiny main character who seems to cry & moan about everything except losing his wanking hand to an alien.

This seems like bait because for starters Kiseijuu was serialized in a monthly seinen magazine so by definition its not a shounen. Its certainly not a power fantasy since one of the main themes of the series is Body horror, there is no way in hell I'd want to be in Shinichi's position. Also he's hardly whiny, especially in the last few episodes.
