| A bunch. Ones that I was super looking forward to were Your Lie in April, Grave of the Fireflies, Garden of Words, and Bunny Girl Senpai. I didn't enjoy any of them and they frustrated me beyond belief |

| Re:Zero S1. Has a good idea behind it but there are things in the writing I didn't like. |
| Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. I loved Fate/Zero so I expected its sequel UBW to be a very good anime. However it was not good at all. There were so many flaws in the show and Archer is such a trash character as well. |

 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| Yu Yu Hakusho. Action/adventure shounen is my favorite type of anime show, the 90s are my favorite anime decade and it overall enjoys a solid reputation, so it was a no brainer. Surprisingly, it turned out to be one of the most boring and overrated shounens I've ever seen. |
| I really wish Wedding Peach was better than what it actually was. Kunihiko Yuyama directed it, but it doesn't quite have the art team to fully realize his vision, or at least not to the same extent as Pokemon a few years later. The villains and their motivations were also really lame. There were still enough things I liked about it for me to give it a positive score, but eh. Could've been a lot better. |
  |
| Gintama. I'm a fan of anime comedy but this shit is not funny. 50 episodes of nonsensical childlike screaming, overuse of breaking the 4th wall jokes, penis jokes, fart jokes, lame Shonen Jump references, and so much more. The seriousness of Gintama is why I gave this anime a 10 despite dropping it. If the 50 episodes actually had a plot I would've seen thru the end. But... never say never, right? I might one day pickup the manga and who knows, my opinion might change. |

| BNA was a recent disappointment for me as I felt empty by the time I finished the show |

| Probably S;G 0 WNchad said: Gilgameshuu said: I probably won't be changing my mind any time soon, as I said I found it quite boring. Good for you that you enjoyed it but it's not my cup of tea. It's probably just adaption issues. I had the same problem with Re:ZERO, a decent show with potential but it was a bit clouded. Only until I read the WN did I realize none of this is Re:ZERO's fault, it's the anime butchering the masterpiece WN. Most definitely Monogatari is having the same issue here and I'm making sure to read Monogatari's LN's soon instead of continuing the anime Lol what are you taking about? He simply didn’t like the show because he wasn’t feeling it. Monogatari is about as good of an adaptation as you can get from my experience reading it so far. You obviously miss out on a lot of dialogue (most of it not exactly necessary in the grand scheme of things since the anime does a great job of condensing it), but that’s compensated by Shaft’s unique style, direction, voice acting etc. I haven’t got there yet, but the only instance where a decent amount people say it was a “bad” adaptation is Kizumonogatari. |
| There are too many to list. However, I have to say that I loved the first two episodes of Konosuba and it looked promising, but it quickly became absolute garbage. The show seemed like an anti-isekai at first and seemed to be something completelt different from your usual isekai. It turned out it's actually another typical generic harem isekai with extra bad humour. I have nothing against the generic isekai, but the show should at least be honest with what they are from the start. |
| I just can’t enjoy LOTGH, and I’ll probably decide to drop this series because the characters aren’t very unique enough to impress me enough. Sure, they’re realistic, but it is to the point that they have no personality. I don’t understand why most people praise this series so much, and I can’t get through the interactions that feel so dragged out. Maybe I’ll give it a chance in the future, but for now, let me watch Violet Evergarden and some more in my PTW list. |

Corpse Party. I love things that are gory, with fun deaths. but this was literally sh♥t. First time when I read the descripiton, I was so into it. I was more than excited to watch it, even if it didn't had the best score and stats. In the end I found myself very disappointed in this anime (OVA). |

| After being absolutely sure Brand New Animal would be worth my time, the only episode I still remember fondly was the baseball event. Michiru is a well designed character who was exploring where she belongs in her world. Then all focus is singularly shafted onto the Silver Wolf, and the cult is irrelevant to who the Silver Wolf is later revealed to be. Most story beats from episode 9-12 served to anger a main character enough to defeat the antagonist. This world is Trigger's worst. |
| No Game no Life. I was really excited to watch it but the show itself was a big letdown |
LiseranThistle said: The Millionaire Detective, everyone on twitter was simping over the tall anime business man and I decided to watch it. I stopped at episode 8 and haven't really picked it back up, and I don't think I will. Dorohedoro was another one I just dropped suddenly one day I don't know why. Especially since I got so far into the show, I just stopped watching it one day. Maybe I'll finish these two shows, since there are things I like about them, but for now they're on my "dropped" list. I didn't even get as far as episode 8. I think I put it on hold after 2 episodes. I started it for nearly the exact same reason, but it just wasn't doing it for me. |
| Demon Slayer was a show I was hyped for from the moment I heard UFOtable is doing a shounen manga adaptation. The premise sounded interesting and after episode 19 blew up and everybody started praising the shit out of it I got even more hyped for it. But unfortunately all my hype vanished when I actually watched the show cause it turned out to be one of the worst shounen anime I have ever watched. The piss-poor world building, the annoying characters and a super mediocre plot made it borderline impossible for me to like this show. I am glad that the show did well because UFOtable definitely put a lot of effort into it and turned what otherwise would have been a forgettable shounen into one of the most legendary success stories of the decade but I personally can't appreciate it. |
 |
| Gurren Lagan, I thought the beginning was very boring, some of it felt like filler and only good part was in the middle when they defeated the dark king guy. The end was shit. |
| Hunter x Hunter, don't know why, can't even remember the last episode I watched |
| Samurai Flamenco. Thought it would be a silly anime about a guy trying to be a superhero in a realish world with some gay undertones. Got an anime that started out nice and then suddenly went way over the top with ludicrous shapechanging villains and lost all it's charm and the gay undertones I didn't even get that far. |

| Re Zero: I had heard a lot of people say that konosuba and re zero were "the only good isekais". Konosuba was one of my first anime and I loved it (still do) so I gave re zero a watch. I found it to be very repetitive and not thrilling in the slightest despite the show having the "Thriller" tag and me being a massive fan of thrillers. Steins Gate 0: After watching the first one and finding it pretty good I decided to watch the sequel. God, it was awful. It turned cool characters into drawings with the personality and depth of tissue paper and had too many forced sad scenes (none of which were even slightly emotional). And the actions scenes. MY GOD THE ACTION SCENES! They were absurdly cheesy and pathetic, moving me to laughter on occasions by being so cringy. How the hell this show got into the top 100 blows my mind. (sorry for rant) |

| So far: - Another (I enjoyed the first half of atmosphere-building. The second half just goes the generic slasher nameless random character bloodbath route I've seen in so many American teen slasher films) - Babylon (Very shaky back half and unexplained antagonist) - Shingeki no Kyojin (Uninteresting characters) - Dr. Stone (Uninteresting and pretty obnoxious characters) - Claymore (Bland characters, too many flashbacks and cuts away from main characters) - Ghost Hunt (Too episodic with mini-arcs, too annoying a protagonist with a Shoujo cliche girl fawning over a rude bishounen outright asshole) - Psycho Pass (I got the sense midway through that it was just going through the cliff notes motions of a cyberpunk but story seemed to lack depth) - Monster (Too many cuts to side stories and side characters every few episodes for a series of this length) - Shinsekai Yori (Bland characters) - Terra Formars (Very amateur and choppy presentation in so many parts, too many flashbacks, random/nameless/generic type characters dying with no build-up or payoff; feels like a very low budget 80s B movie, which still has its place, but I expected better) - Tsuki ga Kirei (I guess it's just a little too simple and vanilla for me) - Mermaid Forest (Too episodic and not really saying much else new or interesting after initial episodes) There are others I have either in my On Hold or Dropped or ones I don't even have listed which I dropped after a single episode, but most of those I would say I never went in necessarily expecting to like. |
| Tower of God and Gintama for sure. Tower of God had a good start but it just went downhill real fast, the main characters were so poorly written and the plot was cliche. For Gintama I actually like it but I dropped it because the jokes didn't make me laugh at all, I tried to push myself to watch it but I just can't get to it. |

Crimson_Spirit said: Attack on Titan It has good tags, a great score, and everywhere it was praised beyond anything else. But the reality for me was a mediocre show and often times were so bad that I had to pause certain episodes and watch them another day, this is not something that usually happens for me. I didn't get the emotional connection with the characters and therefore didn't care what happened to them. Honestly wanted them to die so that a more engaging one could take over and perhaps save it. I would consider my enjoyment from the show to be a negative, perhaps it would have been better to have never seen it. I'll never know now. To this day, I've literally only seen Season 1 of AOT, because I tried SO hard to get into that show, but could never even make it past Season 1. |

Gilgameshuu said: Personally for me it would be Bakemonogatari, I found the premise interesting, and I heard it's similar to Bunny Girl Senpai which I enjoyed a lot. It's easy to try to take the high road and be a nice guy about taste, saying stuff like "there's no such thing as good or bad taste". It's a nice idea which has some truth to it. But every now and then I'm reminded that there's people who not only think Monogatari is comparable to BGS, which is as laughable as comparing a marvel superhero movie to the Godfather, but they actually think BGS is better than one of anime's true, cast-iron classics. Baffling ignorant. It's like some people are blind to quality. PrincessPorcupin said: From recent memory it's been Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed to S2. I don't know what happened but they completely lost the fun, pizazz and energy of the first season. Characters no longer played off each other, the jokes weren't funny and the plot was nonexistent. Completely agree. I don't know what it was exactly either. There's a few things I picked out while watching it though. Everything was kind of dialed up in terms of pace. The jokes were a lot more "shouty" and there were less intimate, quiet moments between Kaguya and Shirogane. The stuff in the shed doesn't count. I'm talking more like the bit in season 1 where they played "21 questions". There was a subtlety to season 1 which was missing. But that doesn't explain how my enjoyment went from 9-10/10 sort of range to 6/10 range in season 2. I think part of it less focus on the main couple, but still... it's a strange one. Catalano said: konosuba, I just couldn't laugh which is weird for I love a decent comedy and it looked like it was for me. I found that I really liked the characters and their dynamics, but almost never actually laughed. Very weird. Znra said: Basically most of Kyoani's shows with Nichijou as the only exception -- that's god tier right there compared to their other works. I just really don't get why Kyoani is being so hyped when their portfolio ain't really something to write home about. Most of their work are either yawnfests at best or purely niche material that only edgelords or kyoani stans will enjoy. Only edgelords enjoy niche work and anything you don't like is bad lol classic MAL shit-tier critique. You're the reason the aggregate scoring system is a joke. Learn how taste works and then don't watch stuff that isn't made for you. |

| Umaru-chan maybe, I mean, it's a slice of life comedy, and I usually really like those genres so I thought I was going to like this anime, but Umaru's personality seemed insufferable to me. |

| Sigh....Bakemonogatari was junk compared to all the glorious things that come afterwards. Y'all get bored and impatient so easily. This thread is little kids bitching about shit. Y'all 7 years old, everything boring compared to political debates and Facebook political news, that's what all the popular kids be doing. It's okay, I was the same. Just go back to your Tolstoy it's okay we can't compare n' shit. |

| Hmm... Most likely Konsuba. Everyone said good things about it. It even has a good score on MAL. But for some reason, i find it boring. There's noting speical, the jokes are forced, majoirty of the time the jokes arent funny. It's a shame, beause i truly wanted to like it. What's funny is that, i enjoyed school days more then Konsuba. I feel like School days is a superior show. Despite having such a low score on MAL. Like the saying goes "Everyone taste are just different" |
| I thought Kokoro Connect would be amazing, but after about seven episodes, it almost put me to sleep. |
 |
| Fairy Tail, definitely Fairy Tail. The exceeds and Wendy are so adorable and the OPs/EDs are amazing... but I just don't really enjoy it as much as I want too, there's just something about it that bugs me for some reason. I don't like how generic it is, and the exceeds flying gimmick bothers me for some reason. I don't know, Fairy Tail is just something I want to enjoy. I hope Edens Zero isn't too generic or anything. And I do like the spin off for Happy. |

I'm always amazed how so many people treat Monogatari Series as something revolutionary. It's really nothing more than an average anime which only identity is having obnoxious art direction. The dialogue are some of the most mundane lines I've ever heard in anime and the show is filled with only that. With loads of fanservice of course because don't tell me people actually wanted to see emptiness in every scene. I get it, some people really like it, but I always fail to see where the greatness of the series is supposed to be. |
| Fairy Tail I like shonen, epic fights and friendship speeches but holy shit. After reaching a certain arc the writing got so fucking formulaic and repetitive that i just forced myself to continue since I don't really like to drop stuff... |
