An anime that dissapointed

[Palademon]

Okay, wait, I got it. Gundam SEED. The only thing good about that anime was the fact that Kira's voice actor was also Ed from Ed, Edd, & Eddy.

There's a reason I've blocked it out of my childhood memory.

Spoiler

And Athrun was Edd.
Edd's voice actor is also Tieria in Gundam 00, the series that restored my hope after I couldn't get passed the halfway point of SEED.

One Piece, it was the first anime i watched (not including Pokemon) but found it really boring. Blood+ started good but lost it and i got bored. tried the Devil May Cry anime (never played the games) but lost interest in that, too. currently, Kuroshitsuji is holding up well...but weird

You wouldn't be talking about 4kids' One Piece would you? If so it shouldn't count.

i don't know, a friend had it downloaded on DVD which i borrowed. all i know is it was subtitled!

Kuroshitsugi won't disappoint. That I assure you. Although Season 2 is.... odd. =S

it's weird as it is, wasn't expected it to be based in England or in 1888 and have few episodes based on Jack the Ripper. i'm finding the first season odd so the second will be VERY interesting.

Not to seem fanboyish but dude! One pieces anime kicks ridiculous ass! Never have I seen an anime that so religiously sicks to the manga and has minimum filter, great story and yeah, occasionally the fights drag on for waaaay to long (what anime isn't guilty of that? Lookin at you DBZ) but it is defiantly one of the better ones!

it sicks to the manga? not read the manga so can't really say anything on that. i would give it another go but isn't it at way over 300 episodes and still going?

Umineko no Naku koro ni. I loved the predecessor series, but the anime adaptation of this one was an incomprehensible mess.

The Hellsing TV-series also didn't really fly with me, nor did the movies of the Slayers franchise. They weren't bad, but I expected more.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

Season 2 of Haruhi Suzumiya was a bit disappointing... It made up for it with Disappearance, but at the time, it was awful...

They could have at least threw in one episode not related to the timeline like they did with Adventures of Asahina Mikuru in season one... I really wanted to see Snowy Mountain Syndrome or even Charmed at First Sight Lover...

 

[Del-Toro]

Neon Genesis Evangelion(nottrollingnottrollingnottrolling) I heard so much about it, then when I watched it... it was painful to watch, like an awkward movie scene that doesn't seem to go anywhere and just gets wangstier with each passing second.

 

[Wintermute_]

Snip

481 episodes and counting. I still say its worth it. and if you don't read the manga (which I highly recommend)the anime is still amazingly interesting, just to see all the weirdness and imagination that is happening in the One Piece universe.

Oh, and ya... don't count the 4kids stuff from early on. We try to forget about that.

 

[Top gear tony]

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.

Don't get me wrong it was a new and interesting series, something different from the all that angsts teenage bullcrap. But right at the end oh god it fucked up so bad and that cliché cliffhanger ending was just criminal.

 

[Drakmeire]

The post-L death note was borderline unwatchable. I almost thought the same about the ending of Soul Eater but I over-thought the ending so much that in the end it made perfect sense and remains one of my favorite animes.
<spoiler=Soul Eater manga spoiler>Even Giriko's death in the manga was really cool and clever when I thought deeply about it. It was stupid that he/she died from too much rage but then again every episode of the anime begins with the phrase a sound soul dwells within a sound mind and body and Giriko's body and mind were corrupt so his/her soul couldn't take it
Yay for giant cop=outs making way too much sense

soul eater isn't over

the repeat show is exactly what the title says it is, a repeat of the series with a new intro. The manga is still going and I was just mentioning a part that would disappoint some but made a lot of sense in retrospect

 

[Stoic raptor]

Umineko. I loved Higurashi, one of my favorite animes, but Umineko dissapointed.

So did the Melancholy of Haruhi. I stopped after the 2nd episode.
I loved the 1st ep, but the 2nd stopped me.
I am going to rewatch it and try again.

 

[Naheal]

Star Ocean EX. The anime followed Star Ocean: the Second Story, but ended before the beginning of the second disk of the game's story.

 

[DrBM]

Gonna get a lot of hate on this one, but One Piece has an on/off disappointment roller coaster with me. I like the epic moments in OP, but if I have to hear another sappy friendship/nakama speech again, I'm gonna lose it. Seriously, a few times was enough. I get it. Luffy loves his friends. Cool story, bro. I'm really gonna get sick of OP, if the whole story keeps boiling down to the moral of "friends are good" ad infinitum.

 

[The Great Fa]

Monster.

Gasp! But!......it's just!......and then!.......but you!.....!
Nah, just kidding. Not everyone will love it T_T

So for me I guess......uh.....Witch Hunter Robin. How does such a cool idea become so boring?

 

[Daveman]

Dragonball Z... I mean I knew there was going to be filler but jeeeeeeeeeeez...

 

[blind_dead_mcjones]

hmm, where to begin?

linebarrels of iron (the mecha designs are nice but thats about the only bit of praise one can give it)

valkyria chronicles (the sudden shift in the second half from light hearted to pure angst was just rediculous, then there's the love triangle they tried to shoehorn in for no reason, the other shoehorned in romance between rosie and zaka, the changing of a couple of events from the game just to show off selvarias powers, random unresolved anime only subplot involving some research lab, selvaria and alicia, alicia being changed from a likeable character to a standardised tsundere, the lack of named darcsens outside of isara and zaka)

gundam 00 S2 (took the premise of season 1 and shat all over it by dumbing things down to the same basic good vs evil moral platitudes in seed destiny, lyle dylandy, severe lack of hal, MARIE! MARIE! MARIE!, grahams character derailment (seriously, mr bushido?) and ali being reduced to a benchwarmer, that rediculous nonsense about GN pixie dust leading to developing a sixth sense, oh and the real big bad being revealed to be a green haired bond villain esque pretty boy)

gundam seed destiny (enough said)

 

[Tiger Sora]

Said a billion times already but Bleach, just so much uselessness in it. They didn't get any new episodes after like 150 or something on my local TV channel that showed it. They actually began to rerun it. *Leaves room*.

.Hacksigh was also another one, I absolutely loved the idea. I was just getting into the world of mmo's with Runescape. (This was years ago) Plot completely lost me after awhile and the same TV station "YTV" (I'm in Canada) didn't get episodes past like 25 or 30. I hate em so much now.

Theres also no more damn anime on TV anymore cept Pokemon but it's on at 7:30 in the morning. I need to find a specialty channel if my cable ppl's has one.

Bleach hate. .Hack I could probably get if I rewatched the whole thing "Would probably love it really".

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Blue Dragon. The game was much better.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Bleach. It's not bad but here's what got me off of it: People constantly said it was just DBZ with swords. I thought it had enough original stuff to ignore that statement. But as the series went on, that statement just kept becoming more and more true. I even quit the manga, because Aizen was defeated, and Ichigo lost his powers, and he had a farewell with Rukia, and life returned to normal. That's it. I'm not reading anymore. In my mind, Bleach is DONE.

Naruto. This is the prime example of the anime adaptation screwing up royally. I still read the manga, and while it's had it's ups and downs, I still enjoy it. In Shippuden (the anime) most of the episodes were exposition or staredowns. I remember the final straw being that episode on the bridge with Orochimaru's reappearance that basically amounted to (and I'm not exagerating here) a 20-minute STARING CONTEST WITH COMMERCIALS.

 

[Navarone9942]

Neon Genesis. The whole thing about shinji making the entire world sucked balls IMO and no, I never read any of the mangas or watched anything else to with NG.
