| Classroom of the elite is what I can only think. The anime has no any sequel since bad premise from the watchers. Should be a new top tier anime if lerche didn't mess it up. But I still love it. |
 |
| GATE One of the coolest-sounding premises ever ends up just turning into Japanese nationalism and harem garbage... It would have been a way better show if it wasn't just a 12 episode ad for the JSDF |
| Occultic;Nine. It had such an interesting concept, but of course, it got destroyed. |
 |
| For me it's Akame Ga Kill. Some characters were killed too quickly, and had potential worldbuilding. |
| First two shows that come to mind are Mirai Nikki and Koi to Uso. Both had extremely interesting premises, but the characters and plot got awful in Mirai Nikki while Koi to Uso just used its premise to set up another generic romance love triangle story. Provided in Koi to Uso I think the romance was well executed, but still the idea of its society could have gone so much farther. |
 |
| I'll stand by the sentiment that Naruto is a huge fucking waste of a world and all we see is Naruto's perspective. It could have something akin to HxH if done well. I know the anime tapped this but subpar writers are meh at best. |
 |
| Nisekoi - I really thought it would be a great shoujo at first but it fell flat and ended up being a cliche filled garbage. Inuyashiki - I still like it but it was rushed and underdeveloped. I kind of expected it to be revolutionary/iconic. Happy Sugar Life - even though I enjoyed watching it, the characters were really badly written. It's a shame because the premise was really interesting. Mahoutsukai no Yome - nothing ever happens in this show?? It was 24 episodes of the same thing over and over. The art and atmosphere of the anime were phenomenal though. |
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me. |
| Charlotte, Erased, DitF- endings ruined them Guilty Crown, Akame ga kill, Mirai Nikki- second part of the shows ruined them Fullmetal Alchemist- No ending(Movie ending was bad). Deadman Wonderland,Gansta(Bankrupt ruined potentional). |
| Darling in the FranXX The beginning was interesting, it really was. Around mid-season, I started getting less excited to watch it and was running like a flat line for me. When the whole "VIRM are the real bad guys!" kinda part happened in the last episodes, it kinda ruined the series for me. The ending just made me upset. |

| Re:Zero sucks and was a meltdown. wish the plot was interesting. |
| Kaiba by Yuasa through 8 eps was one of the best anime ever but shortly fell apart because there weren't enough episodes to do what was necessary. Tatami Galaxy could've been great but lacked proper execution. FMAB could've been great but when the author elevated the powers of the villain too much there was nowhere left to go, just to impress and seem badass. If only execution with the villain's final arc had been handled better. When the buildup of the show resulted in...oh poop, I'm god, but not really? The whole thing fell apart. Haruhi Suzumiya should've been one of the best anime or things ever, but season 2, lack of writing from the author stopped it. The side-track season 3 shows how much greatness still remains (yuki nagato). And there's loads of anime original movies, such as the Trigun movie that should've been handled way better. Hellsing Ultimate is another one, because of inconsistent studio work the show lacks consistent character or proper relation to the manga. Overall it's a very rough adaptation. Your Name and most Makoto Shinkai movies could've been good, but lacked writing and execution. He should hire a proper writing staff to edit his poor scripts and screenplays. |

| Sword Art Online. After the second episode, I was expecting a saga as breathtaking in length as it was in depth. 100 floors? 100 freaking floors, each an adventure unto themselves? |

  Stepped out from the darkness I contained in me. Released myself form the shackles I helped create. I've got the power of life in my hands, and I intend to keep it. My life has meaning after all. ♠ |
| Hanebado! is one that hurts because with the raw energy of its animation alone this can get really impressive. But then the character writing goes in ways... I just don't get how some of these scripts were approved. Trying to overdo the psychological pressure and drama for the MC, turning her quite serious condition into a walking joke, making the side characters so ridiculously veering from one extreme to another. It's like the show wanted to increase the stakes but instead of building a gradual narrative for that it kept pushing a button at random to add edge and it didn't know what it was doing or even what was its moral conclusion supposed to be. |
| Koi no uso, the premise was spectacular and started off with interesting characters with a intriguing plot. But ended as wasted potential, having what I like to call darling in the franxx syndrome, focusing on the romance and being all about the ships... |
| Angel Beats. It could have been several-fold better if it was properly fleshed out. As it is now, it's got an interesting premise and a good amount of cry-porn moments, but seriously questionable execution everywhere else. |
| I really like the premise of dr stone, but the execution is pretty boring and there is just no tension. |
| Oh my god. So many, but I think Black Butler was dragged out too long. It also had weak supporting characters. |
Manga is expensive af |
| Mayoiga. I still remember at the beginning. It was a great topic on fb, probably because it's concept. But later it becoming worse and worse for a very obvious reasons. |
| this thread Erased comes to my mind,it was so good until the last few eps |
LalatinaDarkness said: Boku dake ga Inai Machi, Charlotte, Zankyou no Terror Exactly!!! Charlotte had such a great potencial but then it got completely fu*#ed. The beginning was really good tho, this sure is sad. |

| The Claymore anime. Instead of continuing the series and making a proper transition to a second series with a time skip, Madhouse added a bad gecko ending and halted the development of the series. If Claymore used a bigger budget and followed the manga, it would easily be a top tier dark fantasy choice. |

RetroBite said: Fairy Tail, Bleach, Reborn, D.Grey, Ao no Exo, Black Clover, Naruto, Boku no Hero, AOT; basically every second shounen. Wait for the attack on titan before the fall manga to get adapted, that is strictly the scouting legion vs mindless titans, no titan shifters,or super natural theme, it stick to the basic surface level theme of the story right throughout the series and it has enough material for 35+ episodes at this moment. |

The dude hasn't even watched the second season of any of the shows he mentioned (rather he hasn't even watched Black Clover). He dislikes battle shounen in general. |

| It frustrates me how Angel Beats! could've been so much better. If all the characters had been more developed, the side characters had an actual purpose, the romances better executed and some other things done better it would've honestly been so much more enjoyable. This of course would've required more episodes. |
| Tower of God, I believe the author ran out of idea in term of fighting. After the arc VR introduced, every arc onward are just a combination of whatever is trending in real life and make them into the fighting element in story. Also, ever since Hell train, every "floor" is pretty much an every "world", it no longer give you the feeling of climbing "floor" anymore. |

| Well, if we're talking about wasted potential, Tokyo Ghoul series it is. It's sad to see such a bad anime adaptation and with every season it gets worse although I liked the first season and second wasn't horrible but RE is just miserable. |
newazurill said: Ao no exorcist. The first two episodes were great but then they decided to make another generic school shounen. Didn't find it to be much school or generic. I recall not finding it amazing either, but still enjoyable enough. The setting/plot was fairly unique. Kind of like...an anime version of Supernatural, -ish~ Haha, okay maybe just the 2 brothers with demonic heritage bit and nothing else at all, but well that's how I felt about it. If you stopped early on it might be worth watching (or watching the second season), since not much school stuff happens. Especially in second season. HopefulNihilist said: There have been plenty of popular anime I didn't like, but understood why others liked it. Blue Exorcist? No clue why people like it. Well the 2 main characters are bishounen brothers and a large chunk of the plot revolves around their past so...that's one reason why people could like the show. Plus Mephisto is just great. Amazing, even. -------------- My pick for wasted potential would be Overlord. Started out different and unique enough, with a neutral/evil MC in an Isekai. Went full fetish-for-sadists/edgy people mode by season 3. Bonus points on wasted potential for Madhouse being the one to make 3 seasons of that show. |

Ventus_S said: I can't agree more with Fate Stay Night. In all 3 routes, the story is very interesting / good, until Shirou ruined everything with all the bullshit power-up. It has such good power system between servants until Shirou breaks all the rules. Even in Heaven's Feel, I think Shirou is meh at best... Rin is a much better character even in Heaven's Feel. While Rin is indeed a much better character (small wonder why she is also the best heroine from that game/show), I don't think its Shirous power ups that make the shows worse. It does the job well enough. Plus you can't call it bs without also calling an entire other characters powers bs. What brings the show down is his character, which is just too ehhh. Well you know. Too much of a stubborn idiot. Dunno why you'd ruin a decent point with such a ridiculous opinion. |

| Gantz's anime. It's a shame that it's just not up to scuff with the manga -- different characters, a different ending, etc. What's worse is that a remake in full bloody glory right now would probably be a great idea since killing game type shows and video games tend to be very popular, but instead we just get the occasional movie. Gantz 0 was alright but.. come on. Just remake the anime, give it nice art (the art style of the anime looks so average and trash), update the technology a bit, and have it follow the manga please. It worked with Devilman's reboot, so why couldn't it work with Gantz? |
| Sailor Moon Crystal (not the third season that was pretty good) Tokyo Ghoul root or whatever they called it Biggest I'd have to say is Soul Hunter reboot |
 |
| High school of the death. First episodes were so so but later they ruined everything with stupid unnecessary fan-service Also - Guilty Crown. Had huge budget but execution was bad it looked like they wanted to copy some of Code Geass vibes |
| Personally I think most writers fuck up the ending. There's an insane amount of anime/manga and other works of fiction that are really great, but due to a terrible ending the entire quality of the series is brought down. Let's take Basilisk for example. The story, the characters and the combat is all pretty good, but without spoiling anything the ending is really poorly executed. I recommend watching the show if you haven't and you'll probably understand what I mean |
| I think Aldnoah Zero has a really cool concept, but it was executed very poorly. |
