Red_Keys Well ZnT is a tsundere romance, but by the end of the series the level of abuse Louise visits on Saito is significantly less than it was at the onset of their relationship. By that I mean she hardly even hits him in the final season and there is a significantly larger quantity of "dere" moments as opposed to "tsun" moments in comparison to the rest of the series. And also even in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd season, you get to see more of her low self esteem which helps build more of an empathetic aspect to her character (at least it did for me). I see what you mean though. The dynamic is definitely an obscure one and obviously isn't going to be to everyone's liking. But in this specific case (as well as a few other cases) I can see the reason behind her particular behavior (eg. inferiority, jealousy, fear of loss, etc.) But I've also seen it done in ways that were kinda pointless and meaningless. And then I've seen it done as kind of a parody (like in MM! where it's about a masochist that lives for this kind of thing) and it was actually very funny. I guess for me I just like the dynamic, and although domestic violence isn't funny in the context of reality, I think a lot of the time the more important idea that is trying to be expressed is the reason for the female character's rash behavior. Although I'll be the first to admit that the story tellers often over shadow their intended expression by over doing the physical part and making the emotional part take sort of a back seat. |

Well, he(Red_Keys) basically hate all Tsundere characters. Louis is just happen to be one of them. Well personally, Louis seems to be more "dere" rather than "tsun" as the story progress. Plus, talking about Abusing.. Yandere is much more violence than Tsundere.He should know it already since he have watched Mirai Nikki too. |

Hope this is only on the edge of grave digging - but this show was just so bad. Mitsu x Mitsu Drops. Just abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. No idea why I watched it either - not a big fan of Minami Kanan's manga (don't mind smut - just don't like hers) And why is it in her works there is always some fingering in public places going on. Well I know the answer to that one but arrgh. Was in Renai Shijou Shugi and here it is here -_- For any little kids &/or sensitive types reading I'm talking about....playing the guitar. |

School Days, such an amazing awful show. Just kidding, I don't regret it at all, I knew what I was in for, and to be honest, the ending felt reeeeaal good. Don't know what took me so long to watch it though. -3- |

Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone. That was during my ecchi faze. Simply put, there's a limit to just how borderline hentai a series can be. |

Clannad (AS). I should've trusted my gut feeling - which never let me down - and don't start it in the first place, but then I wanted to see what the fuss is about. Well fuck, huge waste of time, they could've given Kyou and Ryou more screentime at least. I learned my lesson from it though and tend to drop shows quicker now, like with Angel beats, or more recently, Sakurasou. |

I learned my lesson from it though and tend to drop shows quicker now, like with Angel beats, or more recently, Sakurasou. Angel Beats is pretty good and its very short so not much of a time waster, so its worth completing. Actuallly the main problem of Angel Beats comes from the fact its too short, the fact the shows main complaint that its too short is usually not a bad thing. Also dem feels in last eps, If the show was twice as long so therefore even more attacment to chars, people would of been suicidal near the end. |

I have a couple things I suppose I regret watching, but this is offset by the fact that, now that I've watched them once, I'll never have to watch them again. Also, if someone ever recommends them (and someone will, people recommend anything), I'll know to never respect that person again. But if I were to pick a couple I regret: Queen's Blade, Mnemosyne, and Witchblade. Hey, I'm sensing a pattern here... |

None actually! I always make sure I don't regret watching a series, so I'll probably seek some information and ratings on the anime series before watching it. When I look at my list, I can't think of a single one that (completely) failed me. Of course there are those series that can be annoying sometimes, but like HitoShura94 said, every single one of them has got that one thing that makes it worth watching... :P |

Since you differentiate what we don't like and what we really regret... I regret nothing! Sure, there are some anime that made me want to gauge my eyes out and play ping pong with them instead of watching BUT I don't regret it in the aftermath. Cause if I hadn't watched them then I wouldn't know how bad they were and I wouldn't have a complete opinion. Everything I start, I start with the goal to finish it. I know how to pick completed series (aka I won't choose something I'm not even a bit sure I'm gonna like it or at least put up with it easily enough) and the airing ones are just 1 epi per week so that's easy, especially when you have friends to trashtalk together XD |

I'll go ahead and say Jyu-Oh-Sei. Not because it was horrible, I enjoyed it lots. But to think that I won't get the same feeling when I re-watch it (already done it a couple of times), it kinda disheartens me, more so than with Death Note and Code Geass, which until not long ago were my top favorites. |

Just recently,True Tears. The ending is restarted and i hope Hiromi get's killed or cheats on the MC later down the line. It's realistic they said. Well relationship's dont have a fairy tail ending. Shit anime. |

I recently dropped Little Busters! and Amnesia and wasn't in the mood to drop a 3rd consecutive title, so I muscled it it out. Bleh, sort of regret it. |

i regret watching soul eater, the ending ruined the whole show and killed any desire i would have had to pick up the manga. i also regret watching/reading katekyo hitman reborn, because tsuna is still a wimp by the end of the show/manga, and i was watching/reading in hopes of getting to see a more resolute and badass tsuna. |

Most recently, it would have to be To-Love-Ru. It started off as a pretty average but entertaining enough harem/ecchi series. By the end, however, it became an exercise in masochism to finish it. Various aspects of the show just really got on my nerves by then; and, plus, there were some downright terrible episodes in the latter half. |

Eiken, I have no idea how or why I finished that, but I deeply regret it. Most anime I don't like I usually give a couple episodes and then drop, so most anime I finish are ones I liked. |

NHK ni Youkoso! The MC the takes the word pathetic to a new level and i didn't get why he would get better then worse and so on and they focused on the other side character dumb stories more than the MC relationship with misaki and didn't even made their relationship clear by the end even though he said he loved her and what not. Plus that senpai character truly deserve hate i absolutely despise her she is truly a terrible human being. What i wanted from the series : Vurtox said: I would have loved to seem them further exploring the psychologically coherent and smart approach of two psychically wounded people healing each other through social interaction and an affectionate relationship. However, they completely dropped the idea somewhere in the middle of the series. Instead we got to see other crazy people and their problems while Misaki turned slowly into a side character. Satou who was head over heels suddenly treated her indifferent and in the last few episodes (espeically on new years eve) behaved like a total prick. At the end they didn't go anywhere with the two and it seemed like we got stuck with the your typical frustrating anime situation where the status quo remains and anything even slightly romantic would cause death from nosebleed. Very dissatisfying. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

But the question is that in this anime: 1) Satou is a guy who believes in the presence of a conspiracy, talks with his fridge and television and translates his social insecurities into this huge and insane scenario; 2) Misaki is an obsessed stalker with a serious childhood trauma; 3) the senpai is a girl who in her teen days blamed the existence of conspiracies everywhere and grew to become mentally unstable; and so on. You can't expect characters acting with logic in normal conditions, not to mention in those shown in the anime where their interactions are driven by obsessions, hallucinations and twisted perspectives of reality and social environment. I can't bring myself to understand what is this "they didn't go anywhere" line supposed to mean. They did go somewhere, their life was defined as a part of each other. Satou and Misaki signed a contract to face life together, and arguably, to confront their eventual change and reinsertion to society helping each other. In fact their bond at the end of the series is much stronger than any you could expect for your average love couple. And on the other hand, Satou does have reasons for trying to avoid Misaki. If you follow the series, you get his feeling of getting at a standstill with her. She reminds him constantly of his condition, therefore giving him the feeling that she's turning into a burden rather than a help. Specially when things become more favorable and he associates his improvement to other causes. Edit: To put the spoiler tags. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

[I dunno i just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it or get anything from it .There were a lot of random stuff going in the middle that didn't really contribute much to the story i still think they should have focused more on misaki not just the last couple of episodes. Just because they believe in conspiracy doesn't mean they are completely mental and lack human logic and common sense i get that satou is supposed to be easily manipulated but almost committing suicide without even resisting when you knew before hand is taking it a bit far he basically stood by watching not trying to stop them so if that dude didn't get scared he would have died. I didn't why he was pissed of misaki instead of that senpai character she almost killed him but he wasn't mad at her or anything just took it out on misaki. Even if their relationship and bond is strong like you said it wouldn't have killed us if they made it official or adapt the part where they promise to marry each other .

Hell not even a kissing or groping scene. Da faq what was the point? Plus shitty animation and don't even get me started on episode 12 they probably only had like $1 left in animation budget for that episode well the whole anime. I only stuck around for Keisuke cause my cute male yandere obsession. |
