The Hype of course
What do they expect if the director of Inferno Cop will run the series? Kill la Kill?
"but the promotion?" that's what the hype argument.

I think Shokugeki no Souma is a solid 9/10 anime and the hype for it isn't killing my interest in it.

I don't like the Fate series not because it's hyped, but because it's stagnant.

If you meant S;G Zero... that ain't the S;G movie... S;G Zero is a new anime based on a new VN of the same name.

But in general, movie sequels can be mixed bags.

I don't even know why Steins Gate needs another show... Everything was pretty conclusive and an anime showing the "other" Okabe is not really needed.

Because:
>The Epigraph trilogy is really good.
>We need to know what lead to Beta Okabe sending 2nd attempt S;G worldline Okabe that video message on his phone about Operation Skuld. This will detail on that.
>Ties in with Robotics;Notes. The Amadeus.

A few yeah.

Also I'll be buying the new VN(comes out November 19) before I watch S;G Zero's adaptation.

So... Enjoy your show, but I won't care.

Yep this happened to me with AnoHana. People saying it was the saddest and most tearjerking show ever. I was prepared for crying like every episode. The I watched it,and all I got out of it was teenagers yelling at each other over problems that I just couldn't understand. I was so disappointed.

After that I just started to expect the worst from pretty much anything. It feels so damn good to pick up a 6.70 rated show,thinking "well I'm just gonna watch it for the lulz,lets see how long I can last without dropping this." and then it turns out that show exceeded my expectations and I watch it to the end.

I don't get on hype trains, because they are just bound to crash 90% of the time.

Personally? No. Because to buy into hype is to accept that the hive mind is somehow correct. When there are numerous examples of the better portion of society being morons, why would I think I they had a point?

However I have heard many people say animes like Cowboy Bebop or Evangelion aren't "as good as their friends hyped it up to be", so it does skew some people's expectations.

Sometimes. When a series gets a ton of hype, and people make it out to be the best thing ever, I can't help but feel let down when it turns out that it's not.

The more hype there is, the higher the expectations. The higher the expectations, the larger the disappointment when the expectations are not met. That's why it's better to not have expectations to begin with.

I wouldn't say hype, more like my expectations because of the hype. It used to affect me but now it doesn't. I've learned not to expect much out of any series, it can ruin a good one.

Yes hype used to ruin anime for me when I was first getting into anime.

I would have people rant and rave about how the 1st episode of a series is the greatest thing they have ever watched. Then they go on to say that the series will only get better thus making my expectations higher. When my thoughts on a anime differed to those of said person I would tend to dislike the anime.

Ahhhh I was so naive.

I don't take hype into factor when it comes to watching shows. Hype only catches my interest to see why something is popular, nothing more.
