| I looked through my list and I didn't see any anime that I thought I would love and end up hating it. I usually have a pretty good idea about how much I'm going to enjoy a show. There are some anime that didn't live up to my expectations (such as Hibike! Euphonium 2) and some that exceeded my expectations (such as Natsume Yuujinchou). But nothing extreme like going from love to hate. |

| It has to be perfect blue, after I read the synopsis I knew that THIS is going to be the best movies I will ever watch! And of course my expectations let me down and I ended up giving it a 6. Oh well. |

And of course my expectations let me down and I ended up giving it a 6. Oh well. Damn, Perfect Blue blew me away when I first saw it. Just goes to show how tastes vary and one can't expect to be impressed by what others have come to a consensus about. Reminds me to take risks on occasion. I'm a physical media guy (internet too slow in my area) so I'm usually basing me decisions off of reviews, summaries, and what not. |

| @Failurex5 i could say the same for yours and anybody else in this site. So next time think before you post anything. |

| Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World At first it looked interesting to watch, until the Rem vs. Emilia debate going on. also i personally don't like Subaru as the main character. he's really annoying. |
Asaid1045 said: Gurenn Lagann, can't stand the main characters. I tried this anime three times and ended up dropping it every time. It's weird, people compare it to Kill la Kill which I love but I don't see the similarity apart from maybe the over the top shit. All in all, Im never going back to it again. I rarely ever drop anime but I had to with this. Same. I honestly did not want to watch Kill La Kill because people were hyping it up as a series that was made by the same staff who created Gurenn Lagann, which I hated more and more the longer it kept going. Low and behold, Kill La Kill was an absolute blast to watch week-to-week. Whatever energy people felt from Gurenn Lagann, that's what I felt from Kill La Kill. It still blows my mind to this day how not only are there people think Gurenn Lagann is better than Kill La Kill, but they also love Gurenn Lagann, but don't like Kill La Kill at all. |
| Shield Hero. The first two episodes were awesome, but then it kept getting worse. My fault for getting my hopes too high |
BlancaXLobo said: FilthyCasual666 said: The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.I start watching because of how popular it is.End up hating it.Haruhi is a bitch Basically, yeah. I was surprised by how unsympathetic is Haruhi and how much she gets away with. Also, people can't stop praising it for its "intelligent metacommnetary of the otaku subculture", but i only found it self-indulgent and the representation of everything wrong with escapism and otakus. My life sucks, so instead of trying of appreciate it more, i need the world to revolve around me. Other titles that gained a place in my black list are:
And i won't say hating, but i don't share the appeal of Psycho Pass, Boku no Hero Academia, Bungou Stray Dogs, Kekkai Sensen and One Punch Man. Haruhi’s life doesn’t even suck, she has a better life than most people yet she’s an ungrateful twit and wants the world to revolve around her. |

| Never had this happen to me since I don’t watch any anime with high expectations. Every anime I expected to like I end up giving it a good score. |

Bara_no_Uta said: Thanjh said: Just finished Welcome to the N.H.K. Reminded me of this thread. Had the worst mc I've ever seen without question which just ruined the show for me. Also the N.H.K parts of the show kind of felt out of place even though it's the name of the show Seconding this. I'd heard so much high praise for it, with some people even saying it changed their life, and people said that it was an excellent look into the state of mind of hikkikomori. Ultimately I didn't enjoy it at all. I kept watching it going, "What the heck? It must get better, right?" only it just got (in my opinion) worse and worse instead... It's one of the few shows as of now that's officially on hold for me, in my on-hold list. I wasn't a fan of the fact that the NHK conspiracy theming and hallucinatory sequences weren't nearly as well integrated with the show as you'd expect, as someone pointed out, but I did find a lot to like in the show as a dramedy and a Slice of Life, with dialogue between a few of the main characters being pretty good. My main complaint with the show is that it just feels muddled and directionless. It doesn't seem to know if it wants to lean more into its comedic side and parody of the way hikikomoris appear to people in the outside world or to take a more serious look at it, which it does with its drama and psychological sides, but the blend and transition between the two is off so everything feels a bit watered down and unfocused. |

Mythologically said: Really wasn't expecting Akira to be an incoherent pile of shit with no characters, considering how much praise it gets. I was pretty excited about it since the animation looked really nice in the few clips that I saw. Yea I agree I was expecting a much more (idk why people love it so much...) |

| Steins;Gate 0. I was expecting a dark and thrilling alternate story to the original Steins;Gate, but what I got was meandering waifu-bait bullshit with a laughable plot and even more laughable direction. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Fairy Tail and Sora no Otoshimono. While Sora no Otoshimono just disappointed me, I just hated FT. Still watching last season tho, I want to finish it once and for all. EDIT: I forgot Higurashi, so many hopes, but sadly the second season destroyed them... First season was cool tho. |

| I wouldn't say hate, but i really thought i'd love or at least like Monster because it has a lot of genres i like and people kept praising it, however after watching a few episodes it really didn't pick much of my interest. I don't know, maybe i'll try watch it again sometime... |
 |
| Re:Zero. Boring plot, not enjoyable at all. |
| Madoka Magica and Re:Zero They were hyped up a lot so I thought it must be very good but it turned out to be animes that try too hard to be a ‘sad’ anime. Nope not for me. |

| Naruto. It felt like I was watching the OG Dragon Ball Z shit over again. never want to do that again. It kinda felt like watching dragonballz just with ninjas. Yeah I know you can't compare the 2 but I just did AyumiVk said: I wouldn't say hate, but i really thought i'd love or at least like Monster because it has a lot of genres i like and people kept praising it, however after watching a few episodes it really didn't pick much of my interest. I don't know, maybe i'll try watch it again sometime... Yeah that Thriller is pretty good but you kinda have to really like the Thriller genre since they are known for being much slower. A common one would be Steins;Gate many consider that slow, but that pretty much how thrillers are supposed to go. Slow start but big payoff in the end. (most of the time anyway) |

Her life sucks in the sense every life from every privileged girl from the First World sucks. She's not the center of all the attention. It's the same in Angel Sanctuary.

He doesn't even seem that affected by his parents' divorce. |

| that one abt some teeny romance. it was pretty bad. I got it recd after watching oremonogatari. its rated 4 I think. maybe loewr..... I didnt even list it I think but 7 sins. I just hated that short fat ugly MC. and charlotte. the did a 180 in the last 2 eps/ |
| OreGairu is probably the best example of this for me. My little of circle of friends in H&E absolutely adores it in mass, sans Dekn. Fucking Hachiman avatars come in waves on this board. High mean score for a school romcom LN. Ostensibly a school romcom, which I adore even independently of harem or ecchi elements. Aaaaaaaaaand then comes Yukino. Horribly hypocritical character, takes issue with Hachiman's way of solving things enough to be a narrative despite having an over-reliance on that exact same way, she just gets absolved from the consequences because of reliance on the narrative to benevolize her. Horribly unfair views of those around her rooted on stuff like "Oh, she looked like the girls who bullied me in the past" and then, once again, relies on the narrative to prove her right. Other characters exist to look stupid and inadequate before her. ALL other characters. Horribly petty, often makes childish and petty remarks and then, yet again, gets framed by the narrative as having been a witty and layered retort whenever it fucking wasn't or even was thoughtless enough to prove another character's insult about her in one specific instance whenever I thought about it for a grand total of two seconds. Either Oregairu has no self-awareness of this character or it does and constantly tries to make her out to be the one in the right to try to convince the viewers that there's more to what she's saying than there really is. She is vindictive, but not in a meaningful way, in a very incel-esque, "people like this have wronged me before so everyone who I think is like this must be bad" way and the writer has to force justify it through shiny distractions like "oh but her home life" or "oh but people are just jealous of her incredible beauty and intelligence so she can never be normal because people don't like knowing somebody is better than them." Which was promptly dropped early on as an actual problem and they completely shifted over her issues to something else entirely, and that's for a reason. My favorite Yukino moment is when Miura comes to the service for help with the Hayato's career path thing. It is perfectly illustrative of why this character is irritating enough to ruin the series for me. -Yukino is immediately a bitch to Miura for no reason whatsoever, just upon walking in to request the service club's help, starts getting pushy and confrontational in response to everything she's trying to say, trying to dress her down as an inadequate or inferior person -Miura gets mad at Yukino for being a bitch, which given it was kind of unprovoked, it felt sympathetic, raises voice -nevermind, it's fucking OreGairu -Yui steps in to stand up for Yukino obviously, because this is OreGairu so Yukino is the eternal victim -"It's okay. I've dealt with bullies like this before." -Subtext of this entire scene Yukino is strong enough to stand on her own in the face of adversity ??? Bonus: The inadvertant subtext is that being the first to raise your voice makes you the villain, no matter how needlessly demeaning or insulting the other party is being. It doesn't matter who's being inciteful or cruel, and it doesn't matter if it's provoked or not. Just raise your voice. It's the sort of exact unfair treatment that the series tries so hard to premise itself on being about. Hachiman and Yukino are the outcasts, wronged and misunderstood by society, the loners due to an unfair social hierarchy. Then scenes like that happen where it kind of shows that it's really petty and vindictive on this premise and is mostly just capable of sending the same thing back the other direction without any self-awareness to as much. This behavior borders on psychologically and emotionally deficient, but in Oregairu's narrative, it's strength in the face of adversity. Even if you provoked that adversity due to immediately being hostile to somebody coming to you for help unprovoked. It was frustrating to watch stuff like that play out time and time again. The show's best moments tended to be whenever she wasn't on screen at all. Oh, and the show pretty blatantly justifies absolutely atrocious problem solving skills at points and has a prominent reliance on simplifications of other characters to drive them before Yukino and Hachiman's relentless intellect and absolute understanding of the world around them and how people work, despite often just being cynical babbling that amounts to nothing except being petty. It's wank porn for teenagers that feel wronged by society and that nobody understands them and that the world is unfair. I am convinced the writer entered arrested development when he was 14 and thought everybody around him was an asshole, instead of at least having the decency to wait until his mid-to-late '20s and thought that everybody else is an asshole to stop developing his perception of the world around him, like most people do. |

honey--mint said: A lot, actually.
I don't exactly hate some of these but i'm rather salty over how they turned out vs my expectations What did you dislike about the third season of free and boku no hero? I'm curious since you rated their previous installments high. |
| |
| Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze I Like deep stories and psychological stuff but those two were to pretentious and boring for my taste. |
 |
| I though I'd love Mahoutsukai no Yome because it gave me Ghibli vibes, but was disappointed because of the uninteresting characters. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Fire Force. I watched episode 1 like half an hour ago and was super exited because it's by the same guy who made Soul Eater, a show I absolutely love. I thought the trailer looked awesome, but then the actual episode came around and oh my god, it's so bad. It's sooo bad |
| Oh yeah. I thought for sure I'd love NGE but yikes, was a struggle to get through and I have nothing but bad memories of it :/ Maybe I'll revisit it some day and see if I'll change my mind lol |
 |
| Owari no Seraph. I decided to watch it because its pretty popular among the females fanbases and because the dudes looks hot. I found the first two episodes pretty interesting honestly. But everything when downhill after that, to the point that it was horrible. The story went inconsistent, And far too predictable. The characters are bland, generic, and so retardedly annoying. Never have i felt so offended watching an anime before. |

Because I thought the second season could answer lots of question in an interesting way. But imo they took a strange and underwhelming route with the plot. I thought the story would focus on the whole Oyashiro story and curse with plot twist etc. I thought the whole hope thing was cool, I heard all the "Dear You" versions and I loved the meaning of them, especially the Kizuna version. But how to say... It didn't meet my expectation tbh. The screentime of Maebara died completely and there wasn't the whole "bond" theme. I personally would liked something more fantasy like. All the backstory of Oyashiro, the true source of the Hinamizawa Syndrome... They completely ignored these things to talk about other things that tbh I didn't care about at all. |
