An anime that dissapointed

Elfen Lied and Shakugan no Shana. The former seemed like my kind of show; a philosophical series about screwed up characters. I loved Eva, so why not? It turned out to be largely pretty dull, and by the third disk, it just seemed like random shit was happening. Also, I can tolerate romantic obliviousness (hell, I'd be pretty flustered out of not wanting to misinterpret anything), but seriously Kohta, you didn't stop to think that the horned person who's been killing people is the horned person you've been hanging out with?
Shakugan no Shana seemed like a good action-romance with an interesting premise. Unfortunately, pretty much everyone aside from the two leads (who aren't even that original) was dull as hell, resulting in a series of fights where I just didn't give a fuck (aside from that old guy who eats near-death flames, he's pretty cool).

.hack, that was the beginning of the end for me. And the biggest cockblock was Evangelion after episode 21, I think. You know, when they ran out of money and started the soapbox psychobabble crap. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.

While it's not a popular anime, I have to say that the second half of "Kure-nai" was a big disappointment. The first half was for the most part funny and heart-warming with the main characters forming a cute brother and sister relationship and even though there was a small bit of loli fanservice it was easily ignorable. From episode 8 onwards though it devolved into far more obvious and very off-putting lolicon filled in-between with long drawn-out fight-scenes and an anti-climatic ending [/rant].
Two words:
Cowboy. Bebop.
Everyone praises this as the the best anime ever, citing its great action, deep characters, and stylish presentation. Well guess what? All the quadrillions of organic lifeforms on the planet who liked this show must have watched something different from me, because what I watched was a boring, directionless show that felt almost completely devoid of emotion.
So yeah, if someone could tell me where the good version of Cowboy Bebop is hiding, I'd be more than happy to give it a second go.

What part of this could possibly make a great show?iamthelizardqueen88 said:
OT: Easily Yozakura Quartet. The manga is one of my favorites and the anime chose to take all the light hearted humor that helps make the manga so great and make practically non-existent. Gave it up without a second thought after a couple episode grace period.
This. And the fact that the anime ended while the manga continued, which was annoying as all hell.FargoDog said:
I loved Sign. The ending is perfect if you follow it with a healthy dose of the first game.Gigaguy64 said:
DMC anime, Kiddy girl(from a cool/neat sci fi anime to panstu and crap it sucks). I can;t diss the long running stuff at least tis still on and manages to keep me now and then.
I enjoyed Highshool of the dead it managed to balance ecchi and story unlike kiddy girl and.....
Gundam seed was horrid.

Another disappointment is that they haven't done anything new with Dragon Ball. They keep retelling the same story instead making new stuff. DB Kai's popularity proves the market is still strong for DB. It's almost like Toriyama was angry that he created something EVERYBODY was enjoying.
All they would have to do is.....you know what, they'll fuck it up.

An anime called Princess Resurrection (Kaibutso Oujo). The Manga is about a Guy who involuntarily becomes the immortal bodyguard of a princess over monsters. She is fighting her siblings for the thrown, so that she can be Queen of all monsters. And her siblings, wanting to kill her, send massive waves of different monsters after her, so she has to fight them off using any weapon she can (mostly a chainsaw...) and she has two ridiculously hot friends, one's a vampire and the other's a werewolf. The guy (Hiro)is immortal, but only so long as he drinks the blood of the princess regularly. Pretty gory all in all. But a great premise.
I tried to watch the anime, I couldn't watch past the second episode.. because... There Is NO GORE!!! If ANY F**KING anime NEEDS Gore, it's this one!! I watched an anime about an angel that was gorier than this! An Angel! Surely the anime about Monsters, Chainsaws, Drinking blood, Vampires and Werewolves Is IN MORE NEED OF GORE!! It really pissed me off.
(fortunately, the manga is just as gory as the description makes it seem, but the creators of the anime REEAALLY messed up when they removed a central element in the story...)

I'm personally a fan of how the series arcs over so many mediums. It started out as a light novel which led into a game which led into a manga which led into another anime....Gigaguy64 said:
I dunno I just enjoy going through so many different artistic mediums. It's about the whole, not the sum of its parts.
I'd say Bleach because of all the filler, and Loveless: ONLY because of the fact they left the anime on such an annoying point that I want to knife something.
Soul eater easily, the manga was so good, the only real way to save that second half was to wait for the manga to be written.
It is pretty cool that it expanded into several different mediums.Arisato-kun said:
But i feel each part should at least be able to work on its own.
And imo the Anime cant.
Cant speak for the games as i never got to play em.
Same with the book.
I will eventually, just because i did love the star of Sign.
But everything from about 1/3 way through was just bad.
i don't know, a friend had it downloaded on DVD which i borrowed. all i know is it was subtitled!Lucky Chainsaw said:
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.mParadox said:
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?Wintermute_ said:
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.
