| I'm close to finishing Bleach and i can say it was a huge waste of time, probably my least favorite long running shounen |
| Hmm, interesting question. As you mentioned in your post it all depends what we each class as "wasting our time". Did we not get the conclusion we wanted, or did the love interest not get together at the end, or get together with the wrong person in your opinion, or was the show just not what you expected. These are just some of the reasons people may quote for why an anime show "wasted their time" (like us anime fans have so many better more productive things we could be getting on with, haha). For me I might be inclined to say Domestic Girlfriend and the reason I'd say this is that I felt the anime was just a glorified advert for the manga series (which is still ongoing) and unless you want to commit to buying all the volumes (and there's quite a few), you won't get any closure for the series. I wasn't even an open ending, it was a complete cliffhanger. I enjoyed the show and it drew me in and made me empathise with the characters, and then just left me high and dry. Now if we get another season, then all well and good, if not then that was a waste of my time I would say. |
 |
| basically everything I've dropped, they've either been boring (for example Tsukiuta, Cheer Danshi!!, Meganebu) or too cringy (for example Sword Art Online, Gamers!) for me to keep watching |
   |
| Durarara: I started watching it because people were saying it was like Bungo SD but all I got was boring story and I didn't get attached to any of the characters. Kuroko No basket: As a big fan of basket ball, this anime has nothing to do with it, and for the second time I didn't like the characters. So I didn't finish both of the shows. |
| Honestly I would have to say Naruto. I watched about 227 episodes of it. It wasnt that good and wasted a shit ton of time watching it. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| Pokemon when I was new into anime, I watched from season 1 to xyz and asked myself why Ash still don't win and why most of his pokemon never evolve? Only sinnoh region was good but then he lost again where his opponent had full team of legendary pokemon, which was so bullshit. |
| One Piece. It's so painfully slow. Final boss of arc fights can last about 50 episodes. Each damn episode has 10 minutes of previous episode's rewind. There can be 10-20 episodes in a row when literally nothing happens (for example that Elephant Arc and cheering up the climbing dragon for 5 damn episodes lol). I absolutely regret watching all these 900 episodes. I could save hundreds of hours if I started to read manga instead |
 |
| * Konosuba * One Piece (dropped after 20) * Carole & Tuesday (dropped after 3 ep) * Cowboy Bebop * Darling in the T̶r̶a̶s̶h̶ FRANXX * Dies Irae * K-on * Nanbaka * Satsuriku no Tenshi |
 |
| For me it was Gundam Seed Destiny and I still don't understand why I watched that series. It should have never been made in the first place since the events from Seed was wrapped up. |
 |
| I never watched DBZ, but I read the whole manga. When I actually start watching DBZ, I find it extremely slow and sometimes (no offence DB fans), boring. But the climaxes for every arc are very awesome and iconic. But everything else is just too slow honestly. I know exactly why (anime got to slow down for the manga) but I nearly gave up when I watched the beginning of the Buu saga. 291 eps can reduced to 200, and I felt I wasted my time watching super slow episodes. And again, no offence to the fans and Dragon Ball. |
| Disclaimer: The opinion below is my sole opinion only, I am not telling you to like it or that my opinion is the only right, if you enjoyed that anime that's alright, I am glad you could enjoy something I couldn't. Hajimete no Gal: Even on ecchi standarts it's terrific. Bad characters, dreadful story about boy, who sees every beautiful girl as a whore and wants to bang some (make it hentai not ecchi with this goal, atleast it would have been a little entertaining). When he has chance to have fun he backs down and starts getting moral that he doesn't want to cheat on his girl he sees as a whore, top notch. The worst part is that I rewatched it in order to write a review about it. I wasted good 4-5 hrs. |
| None, watching bad anime has helped me realize all the things that I don't like to avoid making the sames mistakes |
  |
| Darling in the Franxx and Gundam Build Divers. Nuff said. |
 |
| Sword Art Online Alicization - I didn't get past the first episode because I got bored fast. I'll probably give it a try in the the future again sometime since I heard from a friend it has a big cliff hanger and a new season will come out soon to not leave it hanging. |
 |
| A few examples would be: - Clannad + After Story because of how it ended. - Shinsekai yori because I thought it was painfully boring most of the time. - Noragami, Deadman Wonderland (and many more) because of not having a conclusion. - Everything I dropped. |

About Clannad AS I hated the ending at first, then after rewatching it I can say it's one of the best endings I've ever seen. You just have to pay attention to the metaphysic side of the story and you will realize how brilliant it is. Or just look at this. Every timeline is a parallel universe, which means this is one of the few animes that has multiples endings to the story. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_485YA3c9vf0/Sc0baSEBm2I/AAAAAAAABpY/jEFQvGgxE2U/s1600/clannad-storyline-diagram.png It kinda ruined the point of Tomoya's development in After Story which I thought was the best part of After Story. But that's just my opinion. |
| Iscua- Honestly it was more insanely boring than bad. Pretty much nothing happened and I have no clue why I watched it til the end. Love Live Sunshine- The girls are cute as they are but otherwise. I couldn't care less about this. I guess that's it. |
| Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi -Like what tf am I watching? building the cool character and just for what? the anime actually pretty interesting and quite promising for upcoming episodes but wait after wait and nothing change. Banana Fish -First of all, I am a male audience. the story is interesting but after first or two episodes I saw something suspicious about this series. watching episode after episode...that is when I realized..."ok this is not for me...maybe my sister will like it"... |
| Charlotte. It had an interesting setting but the near ending made no sense at all and it felt like I was watching a S2. There was so many plot holes and easier solutions to the problems being shown. |

I think Tomoya's development is not ruined at all. He got character development through diferents universes/timelines which is really interesting to me and it shows the diferent paths that a human being can take. He is a multiversal character and that's one of the reasons why he is my favorite character ever. His development wasn't ruined but it didn't feel impactful to me because of everything being reset. I agree that having different timelines is very interesting and it's one of the reasons I love Steins;Gate. But in After Story it just feels forced in so that the characters could get a happy ending. |

There is nothing reset because it's not a time travel. It's a progression through different universes but anyways, I respect your opinion. You're right, it's not time travel but you get what I mean. I respect your opinion too. |
| Out of all the anime that I have watched, I think the only anime that I genuinely think it was a waste of time was Blade & Soul. Everything about that thing was soooo boring (the plot, the characters, the setting...) that I lasted 4 months to complete it. Probably the only one cour anime that I took the longest to finish, and one of the few anime that tested my no-drop policy back in the time. Honestly, the only possitive aspect I can find about it is that it increased my anime list. |
 |
| I think none , ofc there were some terrible anime that I watched but still I don't regret any of it , and I don't see it as waste of time bcz anime is there to waste our time honestly :v |
 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
| Insert the absolute slew of vanilla harem that end up in "haha go read the source material" especially Nisekoi |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| Hokuto no Ken. Too over the top + bad animation. Can't believe I sit through 109 eps |
| Everything that I rate with a 3 or below, but being more specific and spicy: -Gintama : I watched about 106 episodes and did not laugh more than once. Also, Benizakura's probably one of the worst shonen arcs I have seen. - Fire Force : I am still watching but this feels like he biggest waste of time I have spent in anime in a long time. The show is just very bad with very good production values and terrible direction. -Madoka: just a very bad and edgy show that shows nothing but the same formula as evangelion. |
| Erased, everything in that show is boring and forgettable. |
 |
| School Days Because of "what the fuck" at final episode |
angelk99 said: Kurgo said: Island. I don't even know what possessed me to watch all its episodes. Truth to tell, up to that point I'd refused to watch seasonals because I didn't like the idea of waiting so long for each episode...but sticking with this anime was such a poor decision on my part. Sayonara zetsubou sensei. My fault, again. I really really wanted to like this anime, I love half the VAs on it, I love shaft and I love comedy shows in school settings. By episode 4 I hadn't laughed more than once but I was thinking "heh well, maybe it'll get better" but it never did. I dragged my feet through all the episodes for goodness knows what reason but I wish I hadn't wasted my time like that. Byousoku 5 cm. I'm happy I watched kimi no na wa before this, because if someone had asked me "hey the b5cm director has made another movie, want to watch it?" I would have answered "over my dead body". Appallingly nonsensical pretentious bollocks is what this movie was to me. It wasn't even a long one but I still regret spending that much time on it. Death note. Kept watching it mainly because "hey everyone likes it, there must be some reason why". The same adjectives I used for b5cm apply to this show too, with the needed addition of "edgy" among the rest. Tokyo ghoul square root of jack****. I don't even remember anything of this show, quite literally. I don't remember what happened, I don't remember the bad guys or the good guys, the setting, the animation, the music, bloody nothing. I watched it basically because my sister kept badgering me about it and even she found it mediocre. I found it horrid and a huge waste of time but thankfully from that moment onwards there hasn't been any more tokyo ghoul in this house (no, I won't read the sodding manga, thanks for the suggestion). 5cm per second is much better than Your name, which is arguably one of the most cliche romance movies ever made both are garbage but at least your name provided some form of entertainment thru how ridiculous it is. 5cm was boring from start to finish |
 |
| Steins;Gate I never saw the hype in this. I really really tried to like it. I watched it through to the end and I found myself not enjoying any bit of it. I found everything pretty much stereotyped. We have the time travel stereotype: Go back and try to change a bad even that happened in the past. Upon changing it, you realize another bad thing happens because of your interference. Rinse and repeat. The characters were nothing special either. No one got good development. Anyways I'm probably going to be attacked for my opinion but sure. |

I don't think it's a masterpiece but it's a good movie and a breath of fresh air on the genre. ehhhh i understand that but things can be realistic and not boring, im mainly a slice of life person and even i found it unbearably slow and uninteresting. to each their own but it makes more sense to me why your name was more popular, even if i didnt particularly like that one either. |
|
| Seikaisuru Kado. Started out a masterpiece, but near the end it turned to complete shit. Like what the fuck? It's the biggest disappoint and waste of time ever >: |. |
| ˚₊‧꒰ა ♱ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ |
| Fairytail, I'm surprised I even finished season 1 and season 2. |
| Hataraki Man - I thought it would have been a comedy but instead it's just a woman doing her day to day job at a magazine company. Never seen anything so boring. |
| i still don't know why i watched the full first season of umaru-chan, the only thing i remember is that it bored me to death. same with school days, only the last episode was any good and the blood looked like rotten ketchup, aside from the crappy flash animation of the show. black lagoon, jojo's, and higurashi (currently watching umineko) also bored me the fuck out, maybe i expected too much. also, is angel beats any good? some of you guys seem to... not like it very much. honestly it just seems like a shitty haibane renmei ripoff, but the endless praise it gets just puzzles me. |

| Trickster. It's sooooo bad and I was bored out of my mind while watching it. I honestly don't know what possessed me to watch all 24 episodes.
