Was really hyped about watching Bounen no Xamdou because the first episode is fab and the synopsis looked great, but the writing ffs, way to ruin a series.

Innocent Venus was like that too. Nothing is more disappointing than something that starts well.

I heard so much hype about Love Stage even from males and thought that it had to be at least decent. Oh how wrong I was.

I already new SAO was going to be bad, same with Black Clover. The biggest disappointment was Shingeki no Kyojin. One of the best starts to any anime, just to end up a shitty mystery based plot.

Kabaneri, first episode was pretty cool, but it went down hill from there.

Akame ga Kill. It had a strong start and some awesome fights but it went downhill in the last few episodes and the deaths had no impact whatsoever after a certain point.

Well, I just have to mention The Tatami Galaxy. I get the whole idea behind it, but it was a super troublesome journey for me. English isn't my native language, so it was quite hard to keep up with how fast-paced stuff was. I just couldn't enjoy the show at all.

Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu. Waited around a year (or however long after it was announced) just to get an anime I couldn't even finish the third episode of.

Also, Erased. It fell apart after 8 episodes.

Mayoiga. The premise looked highly promising. The characters, setting, atmosphere, everything looked perfect for a horror anime. But as I went along watching, nothing happened and was a big let down.

Can probably say the same for Ousama Game.

Well,if you don't mind:

- overpowered MC (I don't)
- incestuous "romance" ("romance" because even as it is in this show,there's absolutely nothing romantic)
- undeveloping characters
- extremely poor storyline
- characters talk about some overly annoying pseudo-scientific magic gibberish ALL THE TIME

If you can swallow and digest all this above,you might want to give it a shot. ;)

"It's like Death Note, with giant robots" is all I heard. So, naturally, I had to watch it.

19 episodes later of me forcing myself to watch it, I decided it was the the worst pieces of crap I have ever seen and dropped it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Nichijou (comedy is just subjective, but still a shame since I was really expecting a lot from this one), Hibike S2 (I loved the first season, but the drama of the second was so terrible and boring to watch.)

If this includes hype while airing, Seikaisuru Kado let me down in a whole new level, what a disappointment after the fantastic 8 episodes.

R1 is not that bad, is quite catchy, entertaining, well-defined, in terms of story and characters, and has a clear direction, it knows what it wants to do and be.

It's R2 the one that messed everything up, it was a full disaster. I'll never get the praise towards it. It's a pity since R1 gave it SO much potential it completely wasted.

(With this I'm answering the question of this topic, I guess)

I completely disagree. R1 was horrible trash.

Everyone's unlikeable, especially Sazuka. Cringe worthy "humorous" scenes especially when when they're at high school (like spending half a episode trying to catch a cat)

Unlike Light and L, Lelouch never came off as genuinely smart, more like plot convenience after plot conveniences that end up in his favour.

The Mecha fights were horrible. It never felt like two heavy, metal robots fighting. Instead, it felt like two action figures hitting eachother.

Unnecessary tits and ass for all the horny 15 year old boys.

Somehow, no matter how dark, serious or dramatic the show got, it still had the same bright and colourful visuals. Which really took me out of the show.

This guy does a better job at explaining how horrible this show really is - https://youtu.be/5q-9EotzBZU

Date a Live movie, the movie just disappointing.
Then the Summer 2017 shows, like Hajimete no Gal, Isekai Smartphone.
Mahou Sensou is awful, Prince of Stride ending is poor, but the rest of the show is great.

Looks like thats it.

I was very disappointed,indeed. Don't be fooled by its overall score,it will surely go down. I don't know,man...Shows like Zetsuen no Tempest and Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei make me want to watch and read spoilers when I plan to see the next 24 episode show...Because I had these two series both on my hard drive and the result was it took me almost a month to see Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and another 2 months for Zetsuen No Tempest,and I'm still stuck at episode 20 trying to make myself see it through all the way to the end.

The main two that come to mind are Clannad and 5 Centimetres per Second.

Was told countless times that Clannad was the greatest romance anime of all time and that it hits you in the feels. Now if by hit me in the feels meant making me want to end it all with a noose, then it definitely worked. Like I understand why people like After Story, but I just do not understand the first season. The whole structuring of it is just fucking dumb. Its humour is braindead, it's drama is painful to sit through, and the characters can all eat a bag of dicks.

And then there's 5 Centimetres per Second. Only hyped up for me cause I watched Garden of Words which was excellent. It's probably the most boring movie I have ever watched.

Madoka Magica
Having really enjoyed a handful of magical girl shows, from the children-oriented Fresh Pretty Cure to the more adult-oriented Nanoha series and Uta~Kata and Umi Monogatari, at least one of which addresses some darker themes and at least two of which I like a lot, I was expecting to really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, Madoka Magica turned out to be dry, sort of overly intellectual and wordy without being emotionally impactful, and complex in a contrived way in order to force a philosophical dilemma or something rather than having a story that flowing naturally. I felt a lack of engagement with the story.

The only parts of it that I really liked are:
* Homura and her desired result, and I firmly opine that she was unfairly and intentionally screwed by the universe she existed in
* to a lesser extent, Kyouko Sakura telling her backstory.

The rest of it felt...boring and dry and somewhat forced.

91 Days: dark, revenge, "mature" anime, about mafia?
Fuck yes.
After finishing the anime and thinking back on it: The most boring drama I've seen. Plot solely relies on killing off characters who've had 0 development, nor does it take advantage of the fact that it's anime, instead trying as hard as it can to be, "realistic".

Wait, what?

To add on my previous statement (cause character limit), I don't really hype myself up. Except Jojo. And I I lowered my expectations when I read part 5, but it was still amazing.
