AnoHana - It wasn't a bad show but it was very disappointing - talk about wasted potential. That final episode with all the crying and melodrama was terrible.

Ao no Exorcist - This is a prime example why you should wait for the manga to finish or at least have enough source material. Then, the manga itself isn't that good either.

Blood-C - Really bland, one-dimensional characters, boring repetitive first episodes.

Oh, another thread where I can talk about it :D.

Aria the animation

It's a show I had built a lot of expectancies on from the board, basically I thought it was going to move right to my top5, but it wasn't half as good as I predicted.

As it was sold as a paradise of peace and happiness and the anime where nothing happens I expected it to focus on the calmed mood of Neo-Venezia and it sure did... too much. What in essence was a good resource didn't work that well because, for every nice and visually stunning look at the city, there was a discourse of Akari telling you exactly what you were supposed to feel. She, specially, is a character I had to make strong efforts to end up liking in the last episodes. The facts she finds the nice side to everything is sort of funny, but when to express those positive reactions the discourse becomes so overdone, cheesy, "power of heart" type, I find myself just out of the mood. The rest of the characters are more or less interesting but I also found the interactions quite poor... you can't expect to make characters out of one joke, and you can't expect to make these characters likeable just by repeating the same joke again and again without any contextual variation. In the end, every one of them becomes likeable, but I think it's more because of the passing of time and episodes than a merit of the writing.

Anyway, I liked it. At its best moments, it was something quite fascinating, filled with powerful and purifying joy. But I expected a lot more. I had an idea that this series would overwhelm me with its optimism and poetry, and found it too flawed and lacking that evocative ability necessary to turn the good intentions into actual results.

Will watch the second and third season (people say they are better, specially the third), but so far my interest on the franchise has decreased a lot.

Please do; each season focuses on different aspects of Neo-Venezia and the characters and has something for everyone. Alternatively, you might want to look into the considerably more subtle manga.

^ I will, but not soon. They are still on my plan to watch, probably in some months will try them.

And well, I didn't put spoiler tags in my text, but it's because I didn't find anything in the post to be spoilerific. If someone notices any revealing detail tell me, might have put them accidentally.

When I heard they were going to make a sequel (sorry... prequel I guess) to Fate/Stay Night. Not only is it a long time since the original was even released... but I was starting to think maybe the Anime Industry is smart enough to not rework EVERY single boring generic shounen that gets popular. Sigh...

More recent ones have been Blood-C, Toaru Majustsu no Index II, and Sacred Seven(especially since the first episode was so good and then it snowballed into a shitstorm). Or would it be shitballed.

I still cannot oversee how you find this episode a disappointment, although at the beginning I would've agreed with you but COME ON!


And my disappointment, being a major CLAMP fan, was obviously and painfully, Blood-C. Every episode I end up face palming myself over too many things.

This. Except I would replace the word "good" with "okay". I'm behind actually, because I've lost interest in it. But I will finish once I have nothing else to watch basically.

Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi. The most cliched anime using the same overpowered content with no basis, and also has the most pathetic main character who dies too easily.

I don't see how any other series what others post like Kamimemo and Steins Gate be that bad as this. :|

Blood C
I think it's great and it seemed interesting but, instead, it's a boring anime and i dislike most of the characters of the story(especially Saya).

It's a pity because the design is made by Clamp and i love these mangaka.

Then, a little, Dantalian no shoka.
The anime has a lot of autoconclusive episodes and the story is sometimes confusing.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

I hated that last ep. The last minute or so was good, as expected from the show, but nothing else was. Some parts were creepy or intense, but I hated how they ended it.

Agree soooo much. 5 minutes into the first episode i had to turn it off. I might give it another shot soon to see if there is anything of value in there.

My latest would most likely be Shinrei Tantei Yakumo, was hoping for another great Ghost Hunt kind of series but all i got was a boring pile of nothing (even though the manga was so good).

I'm assuming that you haven't watched Kai, suffice to say that the first season didn't end anywhere near as happily as you seem to believe. That said, I find it doubtful you'll like the second season as much. The violence is toned down, though still there, but I personally believe that it was great in it's own right.

Yeah, it looks horrible and there's many flaws that could've been averted if they'd carried on with the same team as the first series, but it does at least follow the manga pretty closely. Some of the later episodes are fantastic, even if they aren't to the overall quality of the first series.

I still decided to watch it to see more of my cute girls. It really is not as engaging as it was in season one and it does not focus on the girls all that much too much side plot which pisses me off. Also it is predictable as what is going to happen in some episodes.

Kamisama no Memo-Chou - Not what I expected at all and it's rather boring to be honest. I'm still watching it in hope it will get better (my hopes aren't too high).

Hell Girl (Jikogu Shoujo?) - Just so...boring! Not what I was expecting either. Dropped it after one episode. Although, I may pick it up some day...maybe.

I finished El Cazador de La Bruja a week or two ago and I have to say, out of the three "girls with guns" series by Bee Train ( Noir, Madlax, and this one ) it was my least favorite. Interesting concept, weak execution.
