simply failed to connect with the audience , the debate over disappointing
anime has generated a wide range of opinions.
- « I
somehow managed to watch 100 episodes of Boruto thinking it would surely
get better at some point. I don't know why the hell I did that. He was a
big fan of Naruto back in the day, but even with that. What a waste of
time ».
- " School
Days, without a doubt ."
- « Itazura
na Kiss, the protagonist was horrible. And Tokyo Revengers, for the same
reason .
- « Big
Order is the most aberrant story I have ever seen .»
- « I
had high expectations for Big Order because it was written by the same
author of Mirai Nikki, which I really liked. But no, it was the worst
anime I ever finished watching, and I really regret watching it to the end
thinking the story would get better .'
- « Tokyo
Revengers. I really like the premise. A guy goes back in time to try to
fix things. Brilliant. But I hate the execution. It's almost comical that
not only does she fail each time he returns to a greater or lesser extent
than the next, but she always gets himself beaten up. I forced myself through
at least the first season in hopes of seeing some character development
for Takemichi. Even training, learning to fight, becoming physically
stronger, etc. But not. As useless as ever in every episode. So I didn't
go back for the other seasons .
- « JoJo's
Bizarre Adventure. He has ruined my life. I can't go a minute without
thinking about JoJo. Italy? Reference to JoJo. Disabled people? Reference
to JoJo. Does the word “Bizarro” reference JoJo. The fucking Sun?
Reference JoJo ».
- « 11
Eyes. Plot and characters. Don't look at it .
- " Scum's
Wish, not because it's a bad story, but because it made me feel bad ."
- « Platinum
End because it has my vote for the worst ending ever. I thought it was
good until the end, but the ending was so horrible that it ruined
everything .
- « I
don't know if people liked it but I recently regretted watching Ninja
Kamui. Too generic. We have the typical revenge. One guy is basically
going against the world. After a certain point it wasn't even about ninjas
anyway. I don't want to give more details about what I didn't like because
I would be spoiling everyone who wants to see it. I only liked the first 2
episodes .
- " My
girlfriend, Okarishimasu, watch the manga or the anime ."
- « Glasslip.
Good animation, but nothing important happens. It's a dream parade. The
plot is simply non-existent. There is no story worth telling. It's just a
bunch of unimportant stories that add up to nothing. What a waste of
animation ».
- " I
regret that Tokyo Ghoul:RE was animated in the first place ."
- " Blood-C,
the gore and misery were above average, but I felt cheated by the ending ."
- « Redo
of Healer. I like it but I hate it at the same time .
- « I
don't stick with any specific series, but I think that at this point I
have seen too many for the magic to have disappeared. If I had the choice,
I would erase all anime from my memory and leave a list of 100 series that
I know I will love. After those 100 series, I will stop watching anime.
I'll watch some seasonal stuff, but largely stop. Basically I regret
having watched so many series. I have wasted time with things that did not
interest me and I have been forced to watch series that I did not even
like .
- « I
regret watching the Wonder Egg Priority finale special, I'd like to take
the rest with its pointless anime twist and complete lack of ending and
still enjoyed the ride, even with the wasted potential. But those last 30
minutes felt cruel and hateful and somehow still apathetic in a way that
dismantles the show ."
- " I
saw Cyberpunk: Edgerunners when it came out and loved it, but I wish I had
after playing the game when update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty were released ."
- " Akame
ga Kill, what a shit ending ."
- " Mirai
Nikki ".
- " Darling
in the FranXX, I have no doubt ."
- « I'm
having a hard time finishing SPY x FAMILY. I like it, but the pace is
getting to me a little. It's as if each episode is a recap. It took a
couple of months and now I'm looking at it from where I left off and still
no real progress. But unfortunately I'm going to see through it because I
like the premise .'
- " Kiznaiver,
the anime I hate the most to date ."
- « Guilty
Crown. I wish I had left it in episode 13 .
- « Aho
Girl. It wasn't funny, but in an even worse way it was just infuriating
and made me angry. Everyone is an asshole, the guy is a pissed off brute
and the titular girl is such an annoying and shitty person, and her mother
is even worse. The only character I could tolerate was another girl who
was actually a decent person, but the story always treated her badly .
- « To
contradict: The first time I saw half of Sousou no Frieren. I didn't
understand what it was trying to do at all, I had a completely wrong idea
of what kind of series it was and I was bored
out of my mind. I had to wait (to my shame)
until episodes 14-15 or so until it really clicked, before that I was a
bit like “ok, big talk, when are the good fights coming?” ».
- « It's
not the worst I've seen, but probably the most difficult to endure: Magia
Record. It was like watching Madoka's corpse being used by an
inexperienced puppeteer: Uneven animation, with some parts, especially the
last one, being good, but basic errors like "the characters seem to
float above the ground when they walk." Like other gacha adaptations,
too many characters that don't have enough screen time to be developed,
but still expect us to remember each and every one of them .
