In contrast to this thread http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=627117

I think Guilty Crown is such an Anime. The first episodes were really good (especially the great first one) but after the, well, 8,9 episodes it just went downhill, with unlikable character development, Hitler-Shu and mediocre Story...

Please also say why.

Amnesia, well not really strong...but it could've been a lot better than what it became.
And in my personal opinion Evangelion. I really liked the series until the last episodes, even tried watching the two movies in hopes that I would change my mind. Haven't watched it in a few years so maybe I should give it another try, but for now I don't like how it ended.

K had good first episode, until Shiro blushes to another guy at the end of that episode...

For me it's Beelzebub. I really thought the start was really great but the final arc of the anime really disappointed me. It was filled with fillers then rushed completely... =(

It might be my memories being wrong, but I think it was supposed to go on for like 24 episodes or something before it was cut in half. It would explain why it was so rushed and everything at the end kinda, well, just happened.

Deadman Wonderland started off phenomenally with intriguing characters and some good action. Later in the series near the ending it just simply didn't live up to my expectations ending off quite poorly in my personal opinion.

11eyes only because they did that double ending thing...

Adding Mai-Otome
It starts pretty strong but disintegrates into something that barely makes sense. It lacked all the flare and plot twists of the original Mai-Hime

The Evangelion rebuild series is leaving me with the same reaction from watching the last episode of Lost.



But I still like the first two movies a lot.

Yumekui Merry. If that was the ending and there is not a season 2, that is horrible. I pray for a season 2. The ending wasn't even an ending.

Naruto and Bleach. They had a quite promising story, set in a fascinating fictional universe with a set of interesting characters. Pity the authors decided to aimlessly prolong the story, making it boring and repetitive.

Arcana Famiglia. The new world that they introduced was amazing and seemed to have a lot of potential but they went on and ruined it. It's still kinda new though so there's a chance they might try and fix the incomplete-ness with another season.

That show is beyond saving u_u

Inuyasha when Naraku just kept hiding like a pussy while 5-or so of the same "demon" as him(?) kept prolonging the plot and the characters never getting any bloody jewel shards. They fight every demon that moves, go into 5 or so filler plot-lines, and when they go to where Naraku is, he runs away and they somehow lose nearly all their shards. Repeat, repeat.

Ghosthound...everything crashed at the last episode, Kinda like I got trolled for expecting it to be awesome because it started really well.
Recently, Nerawareta Gakuen, dat plot holes and meh ending destroyed what started to look having quite a potential.

My Little Monster started off nicely, good chemistry with the leads, funny, likable side characters. Seemingly avoided romance cliches by putting the confession in the first episode.

It wasn't the authors by themselves, exectuive meddling plays alot here. Kubo had to stretch an entire arc because of the airers and other producers got huge amounts of audience, so Kubo didn't have a choice but to make a idiot ball fest. It is also even implied that it was this reason Soul Society arc changed the genre of the entire series so quickly.

About Naruto, I don't really know, but fans says that Kishi is just flat-out trolling with the ships or he doesn't know what the fuck Naruto will end up with, making fans go apeshit on such.


The shonen that was hit the hardest was Dragon Ball. Which became Z, stretched to the limits (even Akira was pissed to continue the series) and the fans couldn't let go and decide to create Dragon Ball Giant Turd.

Seriously, that guys is awesome.

Death Note. It had a very strong start, but then became such a chore to watch about a third of the way through. The last arc was just painful to watch.

I know, it's a bit too early to tell, but if Attack on Titan doesn't tighten up and get itself together soon, it's going to end up in this category.

Once again, the author was forced to do this, but I agree, the last arc is mediocre compared to the other ones.

The manga isn't finished and the anime is only scheduled for 26 episodes (half of which have aired already), so just saying, better to prepare for that lousy ending you know is coming....
