Cakedog said: Gymkata said: I actually loved the rotoscoping. I thought I'd come upon something truly unique after its comparatively organic and atmospheric ep1. I can appreciate what it was trying to do, unfortunately none of it was believable for me--high school setting esp. Those MCs...blech. I think the point was to make the viewer uncomfortable. The rotoscoping helped with that. This, and the fact that the movement looked so natural and the backgrounds were shinkai(is). But the characters/plot....uggghh. |
| NGE was great, until it got bad. And then there's the final episode where it was terrible. Redeemed itself though. |
| Zankyou no terror So much potential yet all of it was wasted. |
| Uta no Prince-sama season two, for me. The show could have done so much more with the whole topic of rising to fame and dealing with the music industry, but instead they decided to introduce some silly magic perfect boy and way too many other characters in one go. Such a disappointment, but it wasn't like I expected much knowing it was a reverse harem, anyway. |
| 'From my speeding car, I catch a glimpse through the trees of what looks like the ocean. Hope... a premonition. Every month, as I write, I am visited by such moments. The scene that follows is sometimes an ocean brighter than anything I could have imagined, sometimes a barren seashore littered with rocks, sometimes a place I once visited, sometimes a road that ends up going nowhere. I would like to end up at a heartbreakingly beautiful sea.' -Hiroyuki Asada, 2010 |
kazuchu said: I just feel let down on this one. It's still good but I was (stupidly) expecting better. I really just want more mature animes with antiheroes and I thought this could've been the one show I've been waiting for but turns out it wasn't. Due to my high expectations I've gotten super salty of ZnT which has kept me from enjoying what it truly is. I think if I hadn't heard of it until the summer season started I would've liked ZnT a lot more but that's not what happened. I was kind of relieved that they turned out to be rather normal people. I can enjoy seeing different shells on protagonists, but I simply would not be able to sympathize with a character that's rotten to the core. I really hate the whole antihero principle of "I have to be miserable and make others miserable because I have a messed up past". |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
amateur said: OriginANIME said: Aku no Hana  The rotoscoping animation was hardly the main problem with that anime. Hardly? It was a huge problem. I still enjoyed it, but it was sad they went that route. |
 |
| If Aku no Hana was done right Nakamura would have a ton of favourites imo which of course on MAL is the only true way to measure a character's worth |

Such a disappointment, but it wasn't like I expected much knowing it was a reverse harem, anyway. The show never had much potential, even in season 1. I think it would have been better if the entire show was just based on Tokiya's routes instead of having character-centric episodes. Reason why something as mediocre as Clannad is rated so high is because it broke the harem cliche and focused mainly on one girl. Higashi_no_Kaze said: After just finishing Nobunaga Concerto I'll have to add it to the list. One of the worst cases of an anime ending prematurely and barely even starting to tap all the potential it undoubtedly has. A shame, really. I'm not even finished but yeah, I have to agree. Length was the main issue. |
| My opinion for wasted potential is Naruto Bleach - the 2nd half of it, first half was great. Air gear Sword Art Online - This one wasted sooooo much, it could have been a crazy long anime about him actually playing the game x_x, became a love story. Tokyo ghoul |
xRatatosk said: C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Oh, yeah. That too. I forgot. |
| I like anime. |
mac9955 said: Yeah- it's his fault for fuckin' dyingKaze No Stigma, setup was fucking brilliant, had potential to be japan's version of Avatar, and they fucked it up to an enormous degree(the author is mainly at fault). |
ninjastarforcex said: robis798 said: Yeah well... not gonna lie episode 1 is super epic, i already imagining many things whats gonna happen next..... drama shit hahahahhahahaha fuck author You should consider about yourself before everything else... |
mac9955 said: Huge_Ego said: Yeah- it's his fault for fuckin' dying No, it was shit like 3 episodes in, instead of an interesting story, we had shitty romance for like 10 episodes, way before he died. lol don't watch it, expecting the romance to be good. anime is a medium that does not provide good romance pretty much the show is mainly action (like the cartoon avatar) and revolves around this guy and his backstory. it's way too open ended, but a decent watch (ignore my high rating for it, as it was my rating from six years ago) |

| Shinsekai Yori had amazing potential, but in the end it executes it's ideas and concepts poorly and suffers from the lack of character elements. |

fst said: LH2, since it's being made by DEEN even though the LN is only getting better. look on the bright side. at least the studio didn't get switched to a-1 pictures or jc staff. plus, i thought studio deen did a decent job on hakkenden. i can't say much about their other recent shows though since i haven't watched them |
| tbh, log horizon is what deen deserves. |

| I really liked Brynhildr in the Darkness but it was rushed a lot in the end. I felt like if it had more episodes it that and it wasn't rushed, it would of been really good. |

mayukachan said: orchidork said: but it seems their adaptations have been getting better recently. like i haven't watched a lot of studio deen's shows but i have heard good things about some of their adaptations such as bakuman, hakkenden, little busters refrain, witch craft works, golden time (to an extent), love stage, kimi to boku and sakurasou no pet na kanojo (even though i hated this show). in the end, all studios have their good and bad shows. i just haven't seen that many good shows from a-1 pictures and jc staff |

| @orchidork My bad. Oh, okay I see. |

| Angel Beats Mushishi (could have been super great but it did not develop much beyond going from one episode to the next) Howl's Moving Castle (Miyazaki got a bit over the top here even though I rate it very highly) |
Guaporense said: Mushishi (could have been super great but it did not develop much beyond going from one episode to the next) Yeah, even if we're the only two people who would say that, I might have liked Mushishi even more if there was a main plot going on. I'm all for serene animes when they have an underlying plot. |
