What anime made you so eager to watch, but after finishing it made you despise watching it
I'll start, the immense hype of Attack on titan, I was kind of forced to watch it at that point and with very high expectations , enjoyed some moments but ultimately the ending made me despise it (no spoiler thread) .
a few come to mind for me personally:
Fumetsu no Anata e
Wonder Egg Prioritythese ones i don't "despise" but
what made you hate wonder egg? i heard it was rushed , i got to ep 2 but put it on hold
the show had a good concept but failed to play to it's strengths and instead tried to do something other shows like the monogatari series or even bunny girl senpai have already done better. even though it was flawed it could've been a solid 7 or 8/10 but the show really wen't downhill after episode 7 because of production issues. also some parts of the show are pretty problematic like how it uses one of it's characters cutting as purely a plot device in one episode and implying (or well literally having her say it) that self-harming is a good coping mechanism because at least you're not killing yourself(???), which is obviously a terrible thing to tell the target demographic of the show (primarily teenage girls). it just feels like the show wanted to talk about serious topics but in the end it doesn't really have much to say about those issues besides the fact that they are something that exists.
so yeah wonder egg priority is a show that had potential to be something special but wasted it by adding a shitty unnecessary plot twist that undermined the whole story and just generally wasted the opportunity to talk about actual important issue by just acknowledging their exist and then instantly moving on to the next one.
yea wonder egg was just one of those anime I wish I didn't watch.
what made you hate tye's ending?
it's not that i hated the ending specifically but rather the plot progression past the first arc. the entire show is basically Fushi meets someone --> they die --> Fushi is sad about it. the first arc with the wolf and Gugu's arc were by far the best in the szn, because the former sets the stage and the screentime of the latter allows the viewer to become more intimate with a character for once
the remaining deaths trivialize what the wolf arc was meant to construct, and while i saw glimpses of hope a la Gugu, unfortunately i didn't get any enjoyment beyond that
true it's a strong word but i truly despise aot ;-; , i heard lots of good reviews on ranking of kings
What made you despise it?
i get the ousama ranking one. the last episodes had some of the best animated and most meaningful sequences of the show, but the healing bs was annoying
Honestly, some of the things that happened in here I did not expect
its so interesting hearing other people's takes. the unexpectedness of it was one of my favorite parts of the show.
The Promised Neverland Season 2
After S1 and with the Goldy Park arc apparently coming soon, I was hyped about this. Let me down on all fronts.Baccano
Not as bad of an experience, but after having this talked up heavily, I found the time shifts frustrating to follow, disrupted a lot of the narrative flow.Darker than Black Gemini of the Meteor
A disappointing sequel season to a solid first season,Magia Record Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story
Really disappointing follow up to the original series.Log Horizon Destruction of the Round Table
The series has continued to degrade since season one, but the drop off has never been more apparent.BABYLON
Probably the worst offender on this list. The series had a lot of good ideas initially, but it utterly wasted them as they became incredibly convoluted and got explained with pure BS.Truly the faltering of later seasons of log horizon is one of the worlds greatest tragedies
Amen to that. Season 1 is honestly one of my favorite isekai anime experiences, real shame how far it has dipped in quality since then.
Its a classic case of an author coming up with really great premise, but then nothing else and just writing anyway, and then suddenly there are deadlines and due dates, and they just have to write SOMETHING because nobody is willing to wait for it to be good ):
bro babylon hurt so more, i was hyping it up to all my friends and had hope until they tried to include the fucking us president into the narrative
Yep. The first couple of episodes were seriously mesmerizing, had a lot of people talking it up. Then it kept going...
JoJos Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders
*Specifically Part 3, not the rest of the seriesI dropped JoJo for months because of Stardust Crusaders. Thankfully, Part 4 later became my favorite one (yes, even over 7), but the fact remains that I despised every moment of Part 3 except the Dio fight at the end. I did not enjoy watching the same plot rehashed every single episode but with different stands.
i def agree, part 3 is my least fav
i completely disagree, i enjoyed a lot how interesting they made the villan of the week trope. but i get why you would hate it
Fatestay night Unlimited Blade Works
There was almost nothing I enjoyed about this.
is it only for this part of fate or also all the other fate/zero etc
what? why?
TSUKIMICHI Moonlit Fantasy
The first episode is very funny and the character designs are great. Tomoe and Makoto are also fairly endearing characters at first. However, as the series goes on, it becomes apparent that it genuinely has nothing going for it aside from a few fun things that can't carry a show filled with nothing of note. The show tries so hard to be Konosuba, but it just ISN'T. It's a power fantasy that is ever so slightly less generic than most of them, which still isn't good. Around the mid section of the series, the show started devolving into a series of increasingly uninteresting side quests, and the final fight was laughably bland due to how overpowered Makoto was by the end. I'm not even sure if I despise this show since it's such a strong word, but I'd definitely give it no more than a 3/10.
I'll try give some counter points for why people like this from what I remember.
It was interesting to see how characters would adapt to a situation they've never handled before.
The magical girl coming from a children's show with preconceptions that "bad" people can be convinced with only words. Then eventually realizes that people, in reality, aren't always one note like that. And all she was doing was resorting to violence, which is the complete opposite of what her character is supposed to be
The guy with the gun realizes that no matter what he does, his situation will never change because that's just how he was made - to sufferI think people liked the side characters more tbh
I legitimately have no recollection of those characters, mega blanking rn. I guess if you're able to ignore the main cast then that's fine, although I even liked 2/3rds of it. I think it's moreso the show's structure and overall lack of engaging content that did it for me more so than lack of investment in the characters
oh shit I was thinking of a completely different anime
ReCREATORSWell in that case I can agree with what you said about moonlit fantasy, even though I enjoyed it alot
Aww I liked it haha. and I typically don't like these more generic isekai types.
i thought it was a wholesome anime...
I dont despise it, but
I hyped myself up so much for it because I like transformers and that kinda stuff, but ended up feeling bored halfway through
definitely more philosophical than transformer fights haha. Sounds like it just wasn't what you were in the mind space for.
hyped when this released cause the romance and characters seemed good, then realised how incredibly boring this anime was. even for me as a primarily rom-com anime fan.
Aharensan wa Hakarenaifirst anime I outright despised, watch this not long after I got into anime, not long after watching shinkai films. animation was good, but the story was one of the most boring things I have ever had the displeasure of watching.
Flavors of Youthwe all have that first anime mistake i guess, it is like when i first watched happy sugar life as my first anime , shit gave me nightmares ( jk ) , so all the animes i watch now are very carefully picked
LMAO happy sugar life is an interesting first anime pick, definitely scarring
I do think that aharen-san is much more comedy than it is romance. If you don't like its situational absurd comedy, then it's not for you anyway. The romance in it is such a secondary thing honestly
thats the thing, i normally do love absurd, meta, and satire comedy like this. nichijou and daily life of highschool boys (two comedy series of comedy skits with absurd comedy) are two of my favourite shows period. aharen-san was just really boring in the comedy perspective along with the romantic side being an afterthought
Very fair lol
I haven't watched the anime though, only read the manga. Don't know if there were hiccups in the adaptation or whether the entire brand just wasn't of your style, but personally I found the format pretty enjoyable myself!i havent read the manga, but i think its mostly the adaption, thinking about the skits and comedy in the series it would work better in manga format.
I definitely understand why you would find it boring when expecting comedy or romcom to be the center, but it's really mostly a sol. These types of everyday simple sol are really popular because they're meant to be calming, so usually the comedy and romance are understated as a result. Other examples would be Komi can't communicate, tamako's love story, Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru, etc. Just my take on this but I've seen this type of response a lot to these anime and a few others so I've thought a lot about it haha.
Prior to airing, people who read the source material were hyping it up, swearing it would be AOTS if not AOTY. This is how I learned a good manga doesn't necessarily equal a good anime.
Coppelion100 % facts
Darling in the Franxx
dont despise this really but
Your lie in April
i watched this not long after finishing assassination classroom hoping to watch another anime that would make me cry, put my expectations way too high for this so i think that affected my enjoyment a lot
Violet Evergarden the Movie
Loved Violet Evergarden and its first movie, so I was super hyped for this and I ended up being so disappointed by it.Lycoris Recoil
I didn't have too many expectations for this but everyone I knew who watched it seemed to like it so I confident it'd be pretty good and instead I got an okay first half and then a disappointing second half. I don't despise it but I did end up not liking it anywhere near as much as I was hoping I would.After looking at this thread I feel as if I'm the only person who enjoyed the Violet Evergarden movie ngl. (I liked Lycoris Recoil too lol) Now I'm rethinking life choices haha
Haha I wouldn't take it too seriously. I've got my reasons for not liking the movie or that show, but I'm kinda pretentious with my tastes and thoughts on media. So long as you liked them then that's all that matter right.
I've seen quite a bit of anime so I think the more I watch the more I enjoy what I see, especially since I've seen so much bad anime or ones that never get endings lol, makes me appreciate more
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III Rebellion
I like to pretend madoka magica ended after the first season and that this movie is just a figment of my imagination.
where's the dislike button
Why Akira? Too hyped beforehand?
BABYLON
The utter disappointment of this series is immeasurable.
i don't know why ppl dislike AOT just cus of it's ending
yeah it's ending is kinda sad and it was nearly impossible for stopping rumbling but they did it (like killing eren in middle of that much titans was somehow not possible)
also it's just boring to always expect a happy ending
and yeah at the end it's just our personal tastes..i really like aot and it made me start watching rest of the anime series
SAO before SAO existed but holy shit was it boring
hackSIGNphenomenal Shaft art and animation and an interesting concept completely ruined by the creep mc who wants to fuck his sisters (including the entire series here)
Bakemonogataria reboot/sequel to one of my favorite series of all time that completely undermined and destroyed the original ending
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsufucking garbage only made slightly better by Yuno's fantastic seiyuu
Mirai Nikkithe most frustrating show i've ever watched
Shin Seiki Evangeliona useless sequel made a decade after the original three seasons that's just all around bad
Jigoku Shoujo Yoi no Togithe worst show i've ever watched
Vampire Knight
Really a disappointment after the first season
Yakusoku no Neverland 2Seen many with the same opinion, is it bad anime wise or also manga ?
Fans hate the anime because it skipped some insanely good content from the manga so I'd wager it's safe to say manga good anime bad.
I haven't read the manga but I've heard that while the later manga is better than season 2, it's not on the same level as the early manga adapted by season 1
DARLING in the FRANXX
evangelion but worse in every way possibleWow I'm offended how can u talk so bad about it knowing it has that cutie devil girl ( jk )

The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie
A garbage end to one of my favourite romance series
