| Erased: I expected a new top 10 entry, but after episode 7 it went downhill. I dont say its bad, but def no masterpiece as everybody was expecting it to become when it aired. SoA: Well, its not popular for no reason, but so much potential was wasted and badly executed. Again, it isnt shit, but far from a masterpiece. |
KazuyaKujo said: @CairAndros yeah I agree I wished Gintama was more story driven than slapstick; I didn't even bother after the first few episodes And Soul Eater too - I forgot I even saw a few episodes. The first 2 episodes are actually filler and the majority of the fanbase agrees they should be skipped by newcomers. I agree that Gintama is comedic for the most part but there are many serious arcs inbetween and it has the best tonal shifts ive seen. Aside from that idk how you got the idea of a 300+ show after a couple of episodes, I agree that if someone doesnt like slapstick comedy at all he probably wouldnt like the show. OT: SAO's premise was pretty cool but well, we all know what it became. ERASED had such a good first arc it was sad to see it go downhill so badly. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Mirai Nikki. I've seen people praising it so much and I get a fucking anime with deus ex machina and shitty cgi AND ALSO a pussy MC. Nisekoi, when I saw the cover, I was like "Ooh, cute character designs." and I was expecting it to be good... But it had too much filler and cliches. Oh, and Rewrite, expected more from the anime because of the great VN. But nah. |

Oh wait that's me.... |
| Erased had me hooked from the beginning but then it spiralled out of control and never recovered. Not sure if this counts, but Psycho Pass could've been better IMO. It was well directed and well animated but some of the worldbuilding didn't make sense and many plot point were just too dull for me to follow. Still an alright show, though.

| I went into Dead Leaves hoping it would be something like a movie-version of Kill-la-Kill's first six episodes. I left with a literal headache and rage. A friend of mine had been raving about the quality of Summer Wars, but I found it to be depressingly average... The original season of Macross, and the entire Macross franchise thus far for me. The concept is interesting, and there are moments that the show does something that makes me enjoy it immensely. But the political/military sides are always overshadowed by the romantic triangle that is shoved into EVERY DANM INSTALLATION, and this triangle has not ONCE been executed with effective drama or good characters. Nisemonogatari. After the somewhat strong showing that Bakemonogatari had been for me, I went into Nise hoping for an extension of more of the same. Instead, most of the characters from the prior season were just waved around in our face as if to say "Hey, remember these characters from last season? You're seeing them again now, so you'll like this also! Right!?". Yet despite this, many of these characters were either shallow mimicries of themselves, and with one character, they did a total 180. The first two-thirds work so hard to have a plot that is 'different' the normal, but it fails to realize that a poorly realized anti-climax is worse then even the most generic climax. I tried, but I found I couldn't care less about Arararararagi's siblings. (I smashed my keyboard...) The only good thing about Nise was the massive uptick in visual quality, and the real introduction of the glorious Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade aka Shinobu Oshino. Mysterious Girlfriend X started out interesting, but went nowhere. It was fetishistic softcore porn for 14 year olds. Eva Rebuild 3.0. Do I even need to explain? If yes, I wrote a review on it detailed my stance. Love Live! was something I tackled because of the memes. I was disappointed with both the memes and the forced bullshit drama which went nowhere. I wanted Revolutionary Girl Utena to be good, but it spend way to much time on some of the worst filler I've ever seen, didn't know when to stop drawling on about the side-characters, and the animation was pretty lackluster and repetitive. Granted, when the show got good (Black Rose Society arc, the last 7 episodes), it was fucking amazing, but it spent so much time in mediocrity or worse that it overall leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Thankfully, we have the Adolescence of Utena movie, which is one of the best anime movies I've ever watched. |

| Sadly, Little Witch Academia TV. Its avarage at best, I knew it was not possible to have the same animation quality from the ovas, but that dosent justify the poor writing and weak storyboard. |

| You should know that Magi: The Kingdom of Magic is rated higher for a reason. Although, you probably still won't like it :P Yeah, some shows that ended up being bad for me: - Neon Genesis Evangelion (over-hyped as hell, tasteless symbolism, not hard to figure out the movie's ending) - Death Note (Dropped it TWICE and I've only seen 2 episodes lmao, MC is so snobby/pseudo-intelligent) - Attack on Titan (characters suck, much plot convenience/unexplained things) - Angel Beats (major plot hole dealing with white-haired girl's heart transplant considering she died before MC ....) - Sword Art Online (obvious reasons) - Spirited Away (pretty OK, but doesn't deserve a score of 8.93 wtf) - Wolf's Children (same thing as ^^^) |

| Macross Delta comes to mind. I don't think it's that bad, just expected much more, I loved all Macross series that came before it. I guess I kinda wanted to like Haganai as well, because I love Sena's design, but the characters turned out so annoying and the show quite uninteresting overall that I was disappointed. Sankarea too, I suppose. Mainly because I'm a huge fan of Tasogare Otome, and I've seen comparisons, but ugh, it was no good , I tried, I even was bit interested to see the manga, but it doesn't even compare to tasogare |

Mowse98 said: Tokyo Ghoul. My friends had recommended me it and way over hyped it. I had heard so much about the manga that I assumed it would be great and was looking forward to what I thought we be one of my favorites! But it was so meh. Goddamn this one so much. Honestly, it was tragic how Pierrot adapted it. The manga was/is amazing. (no bias whatsoever :)) |
 |
| @HamburgerSpike yeah slapstick doesn't do it all for me. even before anime, i hated shows like tom and jerry or mr. bean cuz it made no sense to me :[ @hoerrendous agreed, i kinda liked ajin but cgi in general just looks too un-anime for me |
 |
| One that sticks with me and still gets me disappointed is The Sacred Blacksmith. A medieval setting with gorgeous scenery, magic and myth, beautiful execution by studio Manglobe, and an amazing soundtrack by Tamiya Terashima. But no, it was terrible. A boring and predictable storyline was drenched in unnecessary fanservice and sexual humor that just stole away from the things the show did right. I wanted it to be good so BAD. Another one that was just downright awful for me was Dragonaut: the Resonance. As a fantasy and mecha-lover, I was enthralled by the idea of mechanical dragons with human pilots. And also like Sacred Blacksmith, it had AWESOME music. But the plotline was hilariously awful, with a MC that was anything but likeable. And it's attempts at humor were pitiful. I actually couldn't finish it. |

| Mayoiga. I watched all I could stand before I realized it was never going to be any good... |
 |
| Much as I hate to admit, for me this would have to be Darker Than Black. Great premise and some of my favorite characters, but in the end, was mostly style over substance. Not a "really bad" one per se, but still a series I feel they could've done more with. Also, I thought the OVA was fairly boring and sorta killed interest in seeing the sequel (on top of the middling reviews that one seemed to get). |

| I really wanted to like Katanagatari but the main characters were fucking terrible. I felt kinda shitty for the "bad" guys. And that ending was soooooooooooo bad. Authors trolling their readers/viewers didn't help either.. I don't know why people hype that anime with such obnoxious characters. |
 |
| Yeah, definitely happens. Off the top of my head - Sankarea, Tokyo Magnitude 8 and 91Days sounded like such fun stuff, but ended up so damn underwhelming with so many missed opportunities. |
| Kiznaiver had an interesting premise. It could have certainly done better. It wasn't flat out bad , pretty average but it could have been really good. |

| A few actually...these are the main ones tho! D. Gray-man>> the setting was dope, the music was pretty good and the main antagonist was definitely unique in comparison to a lot of other Shonen...but it was as if the series was trying a little too hard to be different when it was blatantly just another battle between good and evil. Plus, the characters were bland as hell and the comedy scenes were pure cringe. Wasted potential imo. Bleach>> I wanted to like Bleach because it just looked so cool- the character designs and music were some of the best I think I've come across...it oozed style. Apparently that was it though- all style and no substance. Ofc that can work with a lot of anime, but not so much for a 300+ episode series. Hajime no Ippo>> it's a long-running anime about shirtless men beating the crap out of each other for professional recognition, how could I not want to like it? Plus it was done by Madhouse, who also happen to have created my favorite anime of all time. It worked for the first 20ish episodes, but after that the repetitive formula was becoming a bit too noticeable & then some friendship power shizz started cropping up. |

| SAO starting from episode 12 or something. I remember having really really liked the first half of the anime, but then having to force myself to watch the rest of the sudden bullshit and didn't even look at the other seasons. |
 |
| Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori. I was rly looking foward to this one but its, rly not good and the animation is shit and I hate almost all of the characters. I dont even know why im still watching it, i just gotta finish it and see how that mess ends. |
| Deadman Wonderland it really picks my curiosity but the story is shallow Hakuouki was bored it could have been better |
 |
| Berserk 2016 is by far the most recent example. You have no idea how much I wanted it to be amazing. But all it did was cause me suffering equal to the Eclipse. Not sure if you realize this, but Fate/Zero was never an eroge. It was adapted from a novel, which was made as a prequel the the VN. The /Zero story on it's own has no eroge influence, but if you're talking about the sequel(Fate/Stay Night 2006 or 2015) then yes. That was based on an eroge. |

| Seiren. I prayed it would be good, especially cause I loved the side character. But it just kept getting worse and in my opinion and it was a struggle to continue. I eventually dropped it. |
| For me... Psychic Detective Yakumo... since I read the novel before I watch the anime cause I didnt know that its actually has an anime adaptation.. I was expecting something great cause I really like the novel but meh I ended up dropping it... about the reason, I put it in my profile why... -_- too long to write here rofl |

Authors trolling their readers/viewers didn't help either.. I don't know why people hype that anime with such obnoxious characters. Totally agree. I cannot piece together why EVERYBODY loves the ending so much. It was so predictable and too literal. It was like a typical shounen finale which was so unfit for a series that challenged the way for telling a story. What a shame..... |
| I think what you are referring to is any bad adaptation of a beloved source material. I mean to produce expectations mean that something had to be met, despite what reviews/friends/etc say about it. As for original anime, I tend to not have any expectations as to enter within without any manipulation of my purest thoughts. But that's just my thinking |

| Big Order for me. While I still rated it above average (6/10) I was really disappointed. With awesome premise and Mirai Nikki similarities, I expected something amazing. You know how it turned out. Another one would be Dagashi Kashi. I couldn't even finish it. When watching it I felt like making Obi-Wan meme saying "You were supposed to save anime, not become another mediocre series". |
