What anime has a very good start but a very bad end? |
| Death Note immediately comes to mind even though I still like the ending more than most. Noragami's second season started out really strong but ended just as below average as I felt it started in the first season. |
| Another and School live immediately come to mind. Another and School live are having the same stupid ending. You would feel that if MC take action in the first place, none of these stupid thing will happen. |

| The recent anime which started off wonderfully but ended very badly is "Yesterday wo Utatte". People saw potential in the starting episodes but the absurd ending was a disappointment for many folks. |
 |
| Unlimited Blade Works. Intriguing start, okay in the middle, absolute mess second half/end. Shirou and Archer arguing and repeating the same nonsense pseudo philosophical shit towards the end of the season makes me want to vomit whenever I think about it. Gilgamesh didn't t deserve to be a part of this mess. |

| Worst so far has to go to Babylon for me, but here are some other honorable mentions: Yesterday wo Utatte Psycho-Pass 2 Death Note Darling in the FranXX Sekaisuru Kado Shironeko Project: Zero Chronicle Bleach Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito 5 Fairy Tail: Final Series was a bad final stretch of the series in entirety but the last couple of episodes were really good though. Shokugeki no Souma: Gou no Sora, Nanatsu no Taizai: Kamigami no Gekirin (most likely S4 too) and a few others are quite the downtrend as well. |

| Araburu Kitsetsu no Otome domo yo. This had a very excellent start, however the story was a complete mess towards the end. I also want to mention Hoshiai no Sora, because that anime went down hill with nonsense drama, and ended in a horrible way. |
| Gundam X. The early cancellation really messed up the final story arc. |

| Darling in the FranXX The ending is quite laughable |

Gilgamesh didn't t deserve to be a part of this mess. Personal opinion but I think the anime was a perfect representation of good character development. Shirou as a character changes and is not static like a bunch of anime protagonist out there. As for the Gilgamesh fight scene, I quite enjoyed it. |
| Death Note Cowboy Bebop Dororo Mushishi They all left me more or less disappointed. |
 |
| Bleach : Tite Kubo is great at making less and less sense with what he created. Saddly. But the first 2/3 of the show are great |
| Koi to Uso, I liked the concept and wanted the mc with the purple hair girl. But at the end he never chooses and it was so disappointing. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |

To me he's the epitome of badly written, pretentious holier-than-thou protagonist. The whole "fake ideals" conflict felt forced to me and the him acting like his monologues actually mean something. Just useless empty words to make the viewer think he's actually saying something deep and smart when it's just pointless to begin with. If you really think Emiya Shirou is the pinnacle of well-written anime protagonist, well then let's agree to disagree there. |

| Death note after its never be the same for me. and the ending like a little bit forced Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Death Note, though I think it's an overall good series, it's just the ending that shat the bed. If we're talking shows that started out good, then became shit and had an awful ending to top it all off, my pick would be Guilty Crown, the first episode got me hyped up for the rest of the series and it certainly didn't deliver... |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| There is only one option, and that is Chaos;Head |

| Gangsta, if we can even call that an ending. :p |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| Tokyo Ghoul... Though the good start could be arguable since the manga is still better |
  |
| Trigger makes entertaining anime, but their endings are almost always bad. Dororo ending (all the second half tbh) Yesterday wo Utatte |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Soul Eater...it had so much going for it, but that last episode was so bad. |
 |
| death note was very good untli after it it was not bad but not as good as it used to be and that final arc in bleach was unnecessary and Darling in the FRANXX everyone knows Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Probably Guilty Crown. That ending was both pure crap and good. |
 |
wape said: Basically any 'read the manga' ending. That. I hate that kind of endings. There is a difference between a season's decent ending or a cliffhanger and your regular "hurr wanna see something better? go read the manga :DD" ... |
| Don't get why people keep bringing up Yesterday wo Utatte. I thought the ending was really strong. |
"Whether you're sad, you're hurt, or empty, you have to keep playing."  |
| Canaan it had good start but last episodes were definitely unwatchable (after "flower garden" arc). Don't remember details it was long time since I finished it but it was only anime that had tag good start+worst end. But terrible end had also Akame ga Kill, Guilty Crown (these 2 mostly because of deaths that wasn't in the original source) and Mahou Sensou (this one because it ended totally unfinished with not explained anything). |

| Noir, I wouldn't say it has a 'very bad ending' but it was surely disappointing. Erased. |
| For me, It was Dororo from Mappa. It started off very strong but progressively it felt like it was slowly falling apart. From a story standpoint, I liked it. But the Pacing felt so rushed, the animation felt a bit lacking in some episodes, Some story arcs were not that interesting and the ending was rushed and thrown out there. It felt like it needed a bit more time because if I recall correctly, the first 6-7 episodes were extremely good. And then it started to deteriorate. |
  Why do you hate cats? ♫ |
| blue exorcist an amazing start but he most rushed and cmplicated ending of all time bruh |
 |
| Dororo It was a really cool and unique concept in the beginning. The first arc with Mio was and all those kids was well done... Then some uninteresting filler, followed by a VERY rushed ending. The climax happened in like 5 minutes in a burning building.. and that was it. Like what..? |
 |
| Definitely ( Darling In The FranXX ) it starts off strong and then goes downhill around the last few episodes. |
| Including some of those which are technically ongoing/unfinished/left on infuriating baiting "Go read the manga!" type endings: Babylon Another Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne Neon Genesis Evangelion (it's not so much the specific beats of the plot and what is shown which are faulty so much as the execution and how so much of the surface plot is not shown and effectively abandoned in the last third of the anime) Spice and Wolf Rurouni Kenshin Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis Umineko no Naku Koro ni Karneval I'm not including all those left on cliffhangers or still yet to be continued, since for some they don't damage the anime enough for me in my mind to view the whole thing as a serious downgrade to the show overall because they have enough going strong for them in the rest of the story and its execution. |
| There have been many. But some that come to my mind are Darling in the Franxx Guilty Crown Babylon Another Charlotte Death Note (Wasn't that disappointed. But compared to the first half, which was just incredible, the second half was kinda meh) Claymore Neon Genesis Evangelion |
| Death Note and Naruto are what come to mind |
| I would say Guilty Crown. It was great until the end |
 |
| Mirai Nikki is the one of the most disappointing animes I’ve watched so far. It had a lot of potential but it was completely ruined halfway into the show. Tokyo ghoul is another one, if you were to watch all seasons. Season 4 is absolute trash and it ruined my whole outlook on the show. |
