I really loved the first series of Danganronpa, so when the next season came out I was extremely hyped. I was really disappointed by the despair arc. Pretty good name for it since it gave me despair watching it.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi. The writing was so fucking bad, I forgot about its interesting premise :^)

I know its not a series, but Kimi no Na wa. Sorry, it was just a very average film to me. I REALLY wanted to love it, especially after it kept breaking box office records every week when it was still in theatres. I can tell it is a very well made film and the music was good, it just didn't hit me in the kokoro like I thought it would.

Kabaneri. I noticed that well-known people who worked on well-known anime were going to be involved in it, and it looked pretty good at the start, but it was just so underwhelming.

Berserk...like whyyy

And going back a bit, Claymore. I get that they needed to shorten and condense the plot to make it 13 episodes, but the ending was so bad.

For me it was Wangan Midnight.

I thought it would be like Initial D, because same genres, same art and same producer, but it turns out to be quite bad.

Welp, it's not bad, it's just different/below from what I'd expected. Plus some unanswered questions from the show (one season is not enought to answer them lol).

I overhyped it lol

Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. I was really hyped about it after Fate/Zero. Unfortunately it turned out to be garbage.

The MC Shirou is among the most annoying characters I have had the displeasure of watching.

Gundam Seed Destiny - Well 'Seed' is not my favorite Gundam title - but it still was pretty enjoyable - so I was excited for Seed Destiny tbh.

Gundam G no Reconguista - I'm pretty sure I don't even need to comment this one.

OH! And Inuyasha - I didn't read the manga at that time but enjoyed Ranma a lot so I was really excited back then. Just couldn't bring myself to like the show. Well - couldn't bring myself to enjoy most of the Rumiko shows/manga in the end.

As for more recent examples - I think 'Koukyoushihen: Eureka Seven - Hi-Evolution 1' is the most recent one I was actually kinda 'hyped' when the movies were announced - but ended up being rather average/meh.

I had high expectations for this film. It was not awful though, but the story was just boring. The visuals on this film is great, but left a disappointment.

Blazblue Alter Memory. They fucked up the original source material so badly with low-as-fuck-budget animation, That I almost got an aneurysm.
Accept everyone's opinions. Unless they are badly constructed or something the lines of "Uhh duuh da girls were sexy"


That's not an opinion, that's Something called "A lack of brain cells". Specifically the latter.

One Punch Man

I heard good things about this anime and it was pretty hyped too by my friends, but I didn't like it...I found the comedy awful and the action-part was just too exagerate. I know, it has to be like that and its on purpose, it just didn't convince me ^^" The characters got on my nerves, the story was boring and nothing really happened. so yeah... xD worst recomendation my friends gave me, of all time XD

Black Clover because the MC's voice is unbearble.

Probably 'Just Because!', the synopsis brought me to curiosity and I hoped the anime itself would be so great just like the OP song. It turned out to be slow and the unattractive characters.. blew me hopes away lol

Also Death Note.

I prevent the disappointment usually by not expecting anything at all, but sometimes I can't help it.

I wouldn't call madoka terrible, but it didn't live up to the expectations I had before starting the series.

I actually wanted to watch a legit mahou shoujo anime, but I found it to be sorta boring (+all other factors), so yeah, Madoka.


Madoka is actually the reason why I stopped watching/reading reviews before starting a series.

mekakucity actors

i guess most of my issue w/ it is shaft's signature head-tilts/weird poses/large but mostly empty rooms/etc. i don't watch much of their stuff so i mean. like i knew that all that stuff was a Thing with the monogatari series but i thought that was exclusive to that alone - the characters themselves looked fine Most of the time but most of shaft's apparently usual animation hallmarks were out of place and just kinda got on my nerves. the manga/novel weren't as far in as they were now and it wasn't meant to be a long runner so even tho it was deus ex machina-y and the showdown with kuroha fell kinda flat for me i can't really harp on them a whole lot for how they ended it.

also ep 9.

Psycho Pass 2. The first season was dope so naturally I was pumped for the second. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The new characters sucked, the plot twists had little to no thought put into them and it just came off as schlocky.

Kekkai Sensen. First, it's a Nightow series (I'm a huge fan of Trigun and Gungrave). Second, people keep saying that it's good. When I watch it? Pfft. It's something along the line of DMC anime: all style and no substance, perfectly appealing for kids. The worldbuilding and casts have the potential, but they're just forgotten.

Have yet to watch the second season, but I won't be as hyped as before anymore.

King's game. I read its synopsis before it started airing and thought the concept was cool, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. Stupid characters, plot twists that don't make any sense and just over all really bad writing. I tried to give it a chance but after watching the third episode I was like "nope, I'm out"
