| Every now and then a solid idea comes along for an anime which we get all excited about however are unfortunately let down due to it being poorly executed. This could be due to poor direction, characters, plot etc. Have you ever experienced this annoyance with any anime? If so what went wrong with that particular anime and how do you think it could be improved if redone? Try not to list. Explain and discuss. |

| I've lost track of all the ones that faceplanted to some degree or another... |
| Not exactly answering the topic but basically, I'd watch Nanatsu no Taizai seinen/matured version. I like the concept of seven deadly sins, FMA does it pretty well but it does not really focus on it. The same goes with 9 tailed beasts in Naruto. |
| I must say Suisei no Gargantia ( fuck SAO ). I still like it, but I feel like 12 episodes are not enough for it, the concept is very interesting but not explored fully. |
 |
| Campione had so much going for it with a really interesting premise, but it sucked so bad. AND THAT KISSING SCENE?!?!?! |

| Yumekui Merry, The fact that she went into dreams and stuff was cool, The show was fucking terrible though as every character was an emotional cripple even ones who have only been in the show for 5 minutes start crying, Constant whinging does not make a good show and as I am watching Letter Bee that is also doing this but its not to the extent where I was so fucking angry during Merry. |
| kami sama no inai nichiyoubi; the synopsis is relevant only for the first episode after which it becomes pretty much a shitty fantasy adventure |

I like the concept of seven deadly sins, FMA does it pretty well but it does not really focus on it. The same goes with 9 tailed beasts in Naruto. Are you implying Nanatsu no Taizai has poor execution of the concept? Because of all the problems I could see, this is not one of them. I think this is just a matter of preference. But yeah, I'd prefer a more serious shounen, but I wouldn't put this in the "poor execution" category, is just something I'd prefer. I think I'd say F/SN has a pretty good concept, but with bad execution. Here the problem is different from Nanatsu no Taizai, because it seems that Fate doesn't know exactly what to do (Nanatsu no Taizai sticks with that kind of silly and funny shounen, but Fate...), it's pretty much jarring with all those change of tones. Sometimes looks like an epic fantasy, sometimes looks like a poor high school romance/harem with people going silly for nothing... I guess they could focus on the first aspect, and stop those jarring change of tones. The last episode was a complete waste for example. I dare you to post this near the priests. Though I agree completely. |

Keep in mind we are only halfway through one third of F/SN, its meant to be taken as a whole. I do agree to some extent about the romance stuff, its a bit distracting at times (although jesus christ the cooking scenes in the VN are even more distracting) but because VNs don't sell with H-Scenes it was inevitable. I'm guessing the episode you're talking is the day where Rin and Shirou go on a date? Either way I know I'm not going to change your opinion on it but I will say that one of the reasons F/SN is so loved is that it has some pretty good twists and that's what this cour as been building towards. |
| Akame Ga Kill - The deaths were to predictable. Basically after ep 3, it went down my expectations. I did not like that repetitive missions, and the whole Night Raid vs Jaegers was talked waaaaaay too much, and when they finally fought.............. DISAPPOINTMENT. SAO II 1st arc: I love the idea of that Gun Game (GGO), but the fights were boring, and they only spend it on 1 tournament. DEATH GUN DEATH GUN. Seriously, is there any other strong players on GGO. Okami Shoujo kuro ouiji: After they stopped "fake dating". I liked the idea of pretending to be boyfrend and girlfriends, but once they end it, there was nothing special is left. The side characters were boring, and the side stories too. |
 |
| Wixoss The main characters didn't help either. Ruuko, the incest girl, the glasses friendless girl, and Tama were all terrible. Akira was entertaining, the rest was either bland or outright annoying. |

|
| Glasslip. The supernatural element idea was interest to me but nothing made any sense. Even though I gave this show a good score, I think that Black Bullet was rushed. Overall, I still enjoyed it but it could have been better. |

| Akame ga Kill- precisely, almost of the characters were killed |
ninjastarforcex said: aldnoah Imo aldnoah didn't even have an interesting premise. Anyone who wants to watch a mecha anime involving occupation and resistance should just watch code geass. As for what i thought could have had potential with its premise...m3 dark metal. It could have been silent hill with mechs, but tbh theyd have to redo the plot and characters from the ground up |

Flare_Tide said: Akame ga Kill- precisely, almost of the characters were killed But wasn't the high kill count kinda its main selling point? Never considered its premise anything near interesting/unique/whatever. Actually rather generic and simple. |
| Akame ga Kill, everything after ep 17 just had poor execution and was a joke from a writer standpoint of view. The canon material itself wasn't as amazing as i expected from reading the reviews, as there's problems with jarring transitions, or villains being evil just for the sake of it, but overall it does a good job at setting up the dark atmosphere and amaze me every month, minor flaws don't detract from my enjoyment. Obvious SAO mention, all they had to do was show Kirito's hardships through the first floors. That's it, also pseudo-harem was just unnecessary. I would say Ushinawareta, but did that hold any potential from the start? |

Overall, I still enjoyed it but it could have been better. This but with another reason. I was expecting a glass-making anime, seriously. P.A.Works artwork and an interesting story about the process would make it at least a 7/10, they could show MC learning how to work with the glass while dealing with daily troubles and adolescent issues... but they fucked it up. The potential to make a beautiful SoL with great visuals was there. |

| Op why are you recycling topics? |
|
| K, Blood Lad, Karneval (from what I read the manga is better), NO.6 (I haven't read the novels so don't know if they are better in comparison) and Arcana Famiglia (my god, wow, did this anime run itself into the ground. would've, could've, should've of been something really good honestly). I'm sure there are others just can't think of anymore. |

Anyway, I had no prior knowledge that Nanatsu was a shounen the first time I heard it's going to be animated. I was simply intrigued by the concept of seven deadly sins and expected, well, more serious show. If Nanatsu intends to be a funny silly shounen mixed with fanservice like Fairy Tail, it does damn good then. Still, it's not to my liking. |
| Another - On first ep: Wow me like. Down with bullies! - By last ep: Df happened tf is this.? Paranoia Agent - On first ep: Satoshi Kon! Hope this one's interesting! Who's the boy with the golden bat and skates!? - By last ep: Really? ?? You decided to abandon the premise and plot like 3 episodes ago, for whatever the ffk this is? Anohana - On First ep: Ya I'm curious about what's gonna happen! - By last ep: Jesus fk that took forever. They needed 11 episodes for this? I don';t even remember 90% of the main characters' name smfh. That about breaks it down for a few. |

| Black Bullet Seriously, the anime has no idea what it wants to be |
| 2nd half of steins gate was amazing. Maybe they where just searching for a run of the mill harem show. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| mirai nikki soooo much. the interesting plot was all it had going for it. so embarrassingly dumb though. |

Glass making was so minor in this show which is strange seeing how it's title is GLASSLIP. I agree with you that the art work was beautiful and this show had the potential to be at least 7.5 almost 8, but the execution was bad. |

| To make mention of a less obvious title, Akuma no Riddle is criminally guilty of this. It is the definition of a show that lacks direction. Its tone jumps harder than Akame ga Kill's early episodes, constantly trying to take itself extremely seriously with edgy and grim talk of death yet never bothers to go anywhere with it. Particularly (full series spoilers) - |
 |
| ^ It would have been much better if it wasn't Assassin of the Week. :/ |
| Code Geass: It has and interesting premises; war, justicy, etc but the execution is pretty poor with a lot of plot hole and useless character. |
  |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion. Going the 2deep4u route ruined it. |
