Sword Art Online Alicization - I didn't get past the first episode because I got bored fast. I'll probably give it a try in the the future again sometime since I heard from a friend it has a big cliff hanger and a new season will come out soon to not leave it hanging.

A few examples would be:

- Clannad + After Story because of how it ended.

- Shinsekai yori because I thought it was painfully boring most of the time.

- Noragami, Deadman Wonderland (and many more) because of not having a
conclusion.

- Everything I dropped.

About Clannad AS I hated the ending at first, then after rewatching it I can say it's one of the best endings I've ever seen. You just have to pay attention to the metaphysic side of the story and you will realize how brilliant it is.

Or just look at this. Every timeline is a parallel universe, which means this is one of the few animes that has multiples endings to the story.

It kinda ruined the point of Tomoya's development in After Story which I thought was the best part of After Story.
But that's just my opinion.

Iscua- Honestly it was more insanely boring than bad. Pretty much nothing happened and I have no clue why I watched it til the end.

Love Live Sunshine- The girls are cute as they are but otherwise. I couldn't care less about this.

I guess that's it.

Ulysses: Jehanne Darc to Renkin no Kishi
-Like what tf am I watching? building the cool character and just for what? the anime actually pretty interesting and quite promising for upcoming episodes but wait after wait and nothing change.


Banana Fish
-First of all, I am a male audience. the story is interesting but after first or two episodes I saw something suspicious about this series. watching episode after episode...that is when I realized..."ok this is not for me...maybe my sister will like it"...

Charlotte. It had an interesting setting but the near ending made no sense at all and it felt like I was watching a S2. There was so many plot holes and easier solutions to the problems being shown.

I think Tomoya's development is not ruined at all. He got character development through diferents universes/timelines which is really interesting to me and it shows the diferent paths that a human being can take. He is a multiversal character and that's one of the reasons why he is my favorite character ever.


His development wasn't ruined but it didn't feel impactful to me because of everything being reset.
I agree that having different timelines is very interesting and it's one of the reasons I love Steins;Gate. But in After Story it just feels forced in so that the characters could get a happy ending.

There is nothing reset because it's not a time travel. It's a progression through different universes but anyways, I respect your opinion.


You're right, it's not time travel but you get what I mean. I respect your opinion too.

Out of all the anime that I have watched, I think the only anime that I genuinely think it was a waste of time was Blade & Soul. Everything about that thing was soooo boring (the plot, the characters, the setting...) that I lasted 4 months to complete it. Probably the only one cour anime that I took the longest to finish, and one of the few anime that tested my no-drop policy back in the time. Honestly, the only possitive aspect I can find about it is that it increased my anime list.

Everything that I rate with a 3 or below, but being more specific and spicy:

-Gintama : I watched about 106 episodes and did not laugh more than once. Also, Benizakura's probably one of the worst shonen arcs I have seen.

- Fire Force : I am still watching but this feels like he biggest waste of time I have spent in anime in a long time. The show is just very bad with very good production values and terrible direction.

-Madoka: just a very bad and edgy show that shows nothing but the same formula as evangelion.

Island. I don't even know what possessed me to watch all its episodes. Truth to tell, up to that point I'd refused to watch seasonals because I didn't like the idea of waiting so long for each episode...but sticking with this anime was such a poor decision on my part.

Sayonara zetsubou sensei. My fault, again. I really really wanted to like this anime, I love half the VAs on it, I love shaft and I love comedy shows in school settings. By episode 4 I hadn't laughed more than once but I was thinking "heh well, maybe it'll get better" but it never did. I dragged my feet through all the episodes for goodness knows what reason but I wish I hadn't wasted my time like that.

Byousoku 5 cm. I'm happy I watched kimi no na wa before this, because if someone had asked me "hey the b5cm director has made another movie, want to watch it?" I would have answered "over my dead body". Appallingly nonsensical pretentious bollocks is what this movie was to me. It wasn't even a long one but I still regret spending that much time on it.

Death note. Kept watching it mainly because "hey everyone likes it, there must be some reason why". The same adjectives I used for b5cm apply to this show too, with the needed addition of "edgy" among the rest.

Tokyo ghoul square root of jack****. I don't even remember anything of this show, quite literally. I don't remember what happened, I don't remember the bad guys or the good guys, the setting, the animation, the music, bloody nothing. I watched it basically because my sister kept badgering me about it and even she found it mediocre. I found it horrid and a huge waste of time but thankfully from that moment onwards there hasn't been any more tokyo ghoul in this house (no, I won't read the sodding manga, thanks for the suggestion).


5cm per second is much better than Your name, which is arguably one of the most cliche romance movies ever made


both are garbage but at least your name provided some form of entertainment thru how ridiculous it is. 5cm was boring from start to finish

Steins;Gate
I never saw the hype in this. I really really tried to like it. I watched it through to the end and I found myself not enjoying any bit of it. I found everything pretty much stereotyped. We have the time travel stereotype: Go back and try to change a bad even that happened in the past. Upon changing it, you realize another bad thing happens because of your interference. Rinse and repeat. The characters were nothing special either. No one got good development. Anyways I'm probably going to be attacked for my opinion but sure.

The point of 5 cm was not to be "fun" but to show a realistic approach of distance relationships without stupid cliches. I don't think it's a masterpiece but it's a good movie and a breath of fresh air on the genre.


ehhhh i understand that but things can be realistic and not boring, im mainly a slice of life person and even i found it unbearably slow and uninteresting. to each their own but it makes more sense to me why your name was more popular, even if i didnt particularly like that one either.

i still don't know why i watched the full first season of umaru-chan, the only thing i remember is that it bored me to death. same with school days, only the last episode was any good and the blood looked like rotten ketchup, aside from the crappy flash animation of the show. black lagoon, jojo's, and higurashi (currently watching umineko) also bored me the fuck out, maybe i expected too much.
also, is angel beats any good? some of you guys seem to... not like it very much. honestly it just seems like a shitty haibane renmei ripoff, but the endless praise it gets just puzzles me.

After going through my list a bit I forgot to mention, Gokukoku no Brynhildr.

Do not, I repeat do watch this utter shit fest. It will leave you wondering why the hell did you sit your ass down to watch all of it for the rushed ending that made no sense at all.

If you don't like Elfen Lied, then you most definitely will hate on this show, I recently found out they are from the same person.

It starts making you think oh, this could be interesting and cool, but Nope after episode 9 or so they introduce a random antagonist only for them to get shit on and killed the next minute, also people dying in the next episode or so... just for them to be resurrected at the end, this show is just plain bad and had no direction to move.... might even make you lose brain cells for how ridiculous it is.

Durarara, it had a pretty strong start but just kept going downhill. It had a decent following when it first came out so I expected more. It has a large cast and more and more people were being added in the later seasons. Some of them were completely unnecessary to the plot.

Happy Sugar Life - it could've been so much better if it weren't as deep as a puddle. Plus the whole "16-year-old falling in love with an 8-year-old" and all the pedo characters creeped me out in a way I'm not sure the creators of the show intended.

Diabolik Lovers - saw all animated material because I'm a masochist. S2 somehow managed to be worse than S1 and have even more "nothing" happening, but it's utter trash all around.

Zankyou no Terror - everything and everyone in it felt so shallow and I was waiting for SOME moment of introspection from the main characters, but when it came it was too little, too late.

Jigoku Shoujo - picked it up because it was all the rage when it came out, but it's very poorly done. Roughly 2/3 of it is filler and uninteresting and so much animation of Ai is recycled that it's silly.

To Be Heroine - like 2-3 good parts in it but not worth sitting through everything else before them, and nothing like its predecessor.

Okay, maybe this time around I had it coming to me, but being as curious as I was. I dug myself a grave and was not ready to get out.

I embraced and watched Hametsu no Mars for the first time. Would not ever recommended this shitty, garbage show.

My eyes are like holy shit, it's so bad, like to the extreme. It just didn't make sense at all. Terrible animation. Who gave the ok to air this shit fest?!

If you got 20-30 minutes and you was wondering what the worst anime ever would be, this would be it.

I honestly want my time I wasted back on something decent-ish.

Ergo Proxy - It was my second attempt at watching it, so I was determined to see it through, but I only made it three episodes further than last time. Everything is so dull, muddy, grey and just downright boring. This sort of story could be interesting, but it needed a much better director. The only thing I like about this show is Re-l's character design, because that blue eye shadow is cool as fuck.
