| As subjective as this topic can be, I still have thoughts. I watched Aldnoah.Zero when it came out 5 years ago and I was so excited by the first episode. Soundtrack? On point. Story? So far so good. Visuals and Character Designs? Yes. Mech? Present So whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did Aldoah.Zero dissolve into such garbage? The characters had piss poor development and the story made no damn sense. I could rant some more but it's clear that I really wanted to like this anime and it let me down something fierce. The soundtrack was only thing working hard to pay its rent, still listen to it too. Honorable mention - Kuromukuro What's your Aldnoah.Zero? |
| Attack on Titan major plot twist was very disappointing though I did like the anime. MM! started great, but turned rather cliche in the later half of the anime. Eureka 7 started great, but I did not like the pacing after episode 30. |
 |
| You remember when SAO looked like a decent show with a uniqe theme in the first one or two episodes? |
| My quest for the android waifu lead me to beatless a show that looked great, had good character designs, good music and great early episodes. In later episodes the plot took a dive and some characters made some questionable decisions that made me despise them. Also, the thing the show is known for, it had 4 recap episodes in a 20 episode series, obviously plagued by production issues. The final four episodes released separately were enjoyable but the last 2 minutes of the final ruined the emotional impact. https://myanimelist.net/anime/36516/Beatless https://myanimelist.net/anime/38020/Beatless_Final_Stage Also fuck aldnoah zero. I only watched it for the "military" tag on mal but the enemy army is the worst depiction of a military force in anime history, only rivaled by so ra no wo to which is also an anime that could be good but failed to deliver https://myanimelist.net/anime/6802/So_Ra_No_Wo_To |

| Darling in the Franxx wins by a long shot. It wasn't even the start, the whole show was pretty good until like ep 14 and then it just went downhill so fast JoJo pt 4 as well. Thought it was gonna be more akin to Pt.3 2nd season, but it ended up having pretty much the same flaws as Pt.3 1st season |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Best show for this that I have seen is Charlotte. Had such a good first couple of episodes only to go to shit after the halfway point. Another is Erased. First ten episodes are fantastic. Last 2 are meh. Not horrible, but not great either. Records of a Bastard Teacher or whatever it was called had a rather good first arc for what it was, then turned into generic garbage I found the "ending" to the Monogatori series to be underwhelming (end of Owari Season 2). It was a cliche that I was hoping they wouldn't do, then they did. If this were Manga, I would have a ton more. So many Manga have horrible endings |
 |
| Zero no Tsukaima seemed like it was going to be a decent harem anime with some actual romance, but the romance unfortunately came with the most obnoxious and godawful tsundere who eats up half of the fucking running time. |
 |
| Arcana Famiglia I have never seen a great concept run into the ground that fast and that hard |
  |
|
| Metal, games, and good friends make life worth living Discord: kingkrazy#0336 |
| Dororo started off decent but was rushed towards the end. |
 |
| ^ Gangsta is actually on my list for that too but that one was more of a disaster than a disappointment sigh |
| Honestly I felt that way about My Hero Academia. It became so predictable in the second season and just flat out lost me. |
 |
| Death Note after (redacted, but you guys know who) dies. Show went massively downhill after that, minus the ending. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| Deadmans Wonderland. First few episodes were fantastic but the last few? god-awful. |
 |
| Darling in the FranXX, I was totally enjoying it and then after episode 17 it was absolute garbage, ended up giving it 4/10 |
 |
| Off the top of my head, Kill La Kill. I really enjoyed the first half of it and then just lost interest as the anime continued in the second half. Also, the entire new season of Tokyo Ghoul. As of now I most likely will not be watching the second season of RE. |

| I gave Juuni Taisan one episode and knew it wasnt for me, I did like the premise though... |
| I really agree with Aldnoah.Zero, that show's first mech fight was pretty good and the main character had some pretty clever solutions to fighting an enemy so much stronger than him, but then every solution and plan he had afterwards was just insulting. Also really hated the characters, main character was the blandest character I have EVER seen. Theo1899 said: Also fuck aldnoah zero. I only watched it for the "military" tag on mal but the enemy army is the worst depiction of a military force in anime history Jesus christ, the adults were so inept they couldn't match a high schooler in strategy. I didn't feel like Inaho was smart, I felt like everyone else was just dumb. My personal pick though is Erased, because I was so invested. It had a phenomenal first episode that hooked me in despite the lack of originality, a pretty good premise and some heartfelt moments that actually made me tear up. Then a certain event happens and every episode after is just so damn dumb. It made me feel stupid for actually liking the series initially, I don't like the idea of changing a show's score by more than 2 points due to a bad ending, but I decided to change my personal rule and change it from a 9 to a 5. Seven said: Off the top of my head, Kill La Kill. I really enjoyed the first half of it and then just lost interest as the anime continued in the second half. I love Kill la Kill but man did the mid parts of the show slog WAY too heavily. I'm happy it got good again starting from like episode 18 or 19, I can't remember, but the whole invasion arc just killed the show's momentum. I don't blame anyone for losing interest in the show at that point |

| I think I intentionally forgot about Boku Dake ga Inai Machi. As oppose to Aldnoah which went down in flames, that one kinda just petered out. |
| Oh there's quite a few. Tears to Tiara deserves a mention. |
| Seiren: Can we get another Amagami?! That's a no. It had potential from the get-go... but it didn't really hit those same notes. Fate/Apocrypha: This is more personal. It's just that Astolfo is the best boy and is immediately better than Jean. Also, my only gay ship I've ever done. That ship potential was that good. Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren: Can we get relationship development and more romance?! No, we get a third-wheel on a bicycle. I just thought it could of been better than that extra wheel. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Tokyo ghoul has been a total disappointment for me, i really liked episode 1 |
| A person's life is not comprised of four repeating season, but a year-long winter wilderness, whether or not you stop to wipe your blood or tears, they will inevitably freeze over. |
Peepin said: The Price of Smiles had an awesome first episode but everything went downhill from there and I was so sad. I'm surprised someone else brought this up and yes. So much potential...and then it just slowly got worse. I watched it all, but it didn't live up |
 |
| One thing that I'm thinking of, especially from last year, is probably Araburu. Kind of like its start, though the half of the show to its ending is a bit astray to what I'm expecting, and not in a good way. Nevertheless still don't hate it |
 |
| Probably the vast majority of anime but Aldnoah.Zero really piss me off later. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I recently watched now and then here and there and was surprised how cliche and dumb post apocalyptic cyber punk stuff could be. Never let me down before. I loved shouwa rakugo only for it to leave a bad taste in my mouth with the worst twist ever in the last episode. And erased obviously |
Jus1294 said: Death Note after (redacted, but you guys know who) dies. Show went massively downhill after that, minus the ending. I agree with your first point, but disagree with the second. I thought the ending was terribly executed. I'm okay with what.. happened at the end, but instead of just having him there panicking, they should have made it a much bigger deal. I will say, ever since I watched it, I have said that in my opinion, the first death and second death should have both happened at the end of the show, with both of them taking each other out. And yes, I'm aware not naming them at this point is useless, but you know. lol |

| Sword Art Online. Kirito is like a plastic doll with nothing inside him. |
| Babylon for me the first 8 ep was great until the brutal death,and then and then his dick fell off. But seriously the fact that was bad ending where the antagonist wins is not bad in itself,but they lost me with this shit about understanding about bad and evil and if you undestand what is evil and what is good you have to kill yourself or some bullshit like that. |
| An obligatory mention of SAO.The first few episodes were 10/10 for me.But they had to skip entirety of Aincrad and make Kirito anime Jesus. Babylon. The first two arcs were great.I think episode 7 gave me goosebumps.But everything changed after the hiatus.I have nothing against philosophy,they can rant for about thousand episodes but the show ended at an incomplete note and a lot of plot points were left hanging. |
| JoJo Bizzare Adventure, All the previous seasons were great and had lots of humour but the newest season is not funny at all it focuses on only limited concepts, the characters are not relatable to characters of previous seasons and .... Its just not funny how it was used to be I am having trouble continuing it. |
  |
| Akanesasu Shoujo - Don't' know why, letter it became meh. Bakumatsu: Crisis - After the first season I had my expectations. It was... fine, I guess. Durarara - the first season was awesome, the second with all its parts... not as much. Fukumenkei Noise - I thought it would be interesting... But the main character was the most annoying. Gankutsuou - I guess I can some the main problem as main episode 18. Hakuouki - So regret watching this one... totally didn't continue for a second season. I should have known when I heard a name from the Shinsengumi (which I only heard of from Rurouni Kenshin) Kuroshitsuji II - Let's not talk about this... Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes - It was really fine, but something was missing towards the end. Love Stage!! - Back at the day, I stopped the manga as it was Yaoi (and it looked like there's gonna be a rape), the anime... well... they ended up being two idiots. Naruto: It has a nice start... but oh, the fillers. |
 |
| SAO and Babylon. The former had such an interesting concept that the first episode just got me hooked back then, only to be disappointed later. Same with the latter, it just became a mess. |
| Akame Ga Kill Magic Knight Rayearth Angolmois Neon Genesis Evangelion Satsuriku no Tenshi Zankyou no Terror Claymore Expecting better but still good: Hunter x Hunter Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Black Lagoon Soul Eater Juuni Kokuki Psycho-Pass Babylon Kimetsu no Yaiba |
| SAO - First 3 eps great but then the narrative slowed down and focused on dumb side stories High Score Girl - First 3 eps great because akira is great but then she leaves for like 4 eps and blonde chick is significantly worse. Isekai Slime - had a good first half, but 2nd half sucked except for the pink hair demon king loli Re:Creators - First half was interesting, but there were too many pointless fights. Ending as doo doo though. O Maiden in Your Savage Season - loved how the sex talk stuff in the first 3 eps but it turned into melodramatic nonsense |
| Hunter x Hunter is a 1/10 |
| A newer anime that was a disappointment is Breakers, the paralympic sports anime. I was so excited because no one has ever done a paralympic sports anime, but to be honest, it's not great. I wouldn't mind dropping it even. |

| Neon Genesis Evangelion. Amazing start, but almost every episode is just "monster of the week" battles against angels and the ending is so bad, they now try to rewrite it a second time. |
 |
| A lot actually: Devilman Angel Cop Angolmois Aoi Hana Aura Babylon (as expected from the same author of Seikaisuru Kado) Banana Fish Black Lagoon (became worse later on) Bleach C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Cannon Busters Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna Choujin Locke (later entries ruined it) Claymore Code Geass Le Portrait de Petit Cosette Cybersix D. Gray-man Detonator Orgun Dimension W (great premise) Dragon Ball Drifters Escaflowne Eva rebuilds Five Star Stories (mind blowing premise) Fune wo Amu Gall Force (later entries ruined it) Gangsta Golden Kamuy Gunnm (seems the manga won't ever have a proper adaptation) Dangaioh Hal (potential to be a second Eve no Jikan, wasted) Hellsing (at least the remake sort of fixed it) Hokuto no Ken and Souten no Ken (ruined by later entries or bad adaptations) Hoshi no Koe (too short and rushed) Hoshizora Kiseki (unorthodox premise, wasted) Houseki no Kuni Infini-T Force Inuyasha Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Juuni Taisen (promising beginning, turns to complete dogshit) Kakegurui Kannazuki no Miko Kaze wo Mita Shounen Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Key the Metal Idol Koi wa Ameagari no You ni Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau Kyousou Giga Record of Lodoss War Loups=Garous Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Maou Dante Mazinkaiser (SKL included) Megazone 23 Metropolis Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt 2nd season (it completely ruined the first) Mutafukaz Nana Toshi Monogatari: Hokkyokukai Sensen (just a teaser) Nanatsu no Taizai Naruto Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin Nerawareta Gakuen Net-juu no Susume Oira Uchuu no Tankoufu (just a teaser) One Piece Ore Monogatari!!
