well i consider it disappointing when only 1 anime out of an entire seasons line up ends up being good.
that is not to say there werent any good anime. but they either were really short (13 episodes)
or didnt have a plot I could get into.
what was more aggravating were the legions of manga adaptations or animes with fantastic premises only to be completely obliterated by bad endings, filler or out of place fan service
Anyone watch the abomination that was the Freezing anime? god i think there was a panty shot per female character per frame
or the last two episodes of Claymore
....
Wait, are you talking to me? You do know you can quote my comment right?
Anyways, of course there will be less good shows than there are bad. The same way good movies are few compared to the mounds of cinematic crap.
*sigh* But I digress, well that and I'm getting carpel tunnel trying to defend anime of recent years.
two anime I'm disappointed by are:
Mawaru Penguindrum: I can go on a fucking spiel on why this anime is shit, but my issue is why do so many people like this show? A good lesson on story writing is that too much symbolism makes said symbols meaningless and contrived, especially if the symbols overlap each other without explanation! An this anime is the embodiment of this problem! GAAH!
Persona 4: Its watchable, its interesting, but it was also missed potential. I was really hoping that it would further expand on the source material, while they did the story and scripting/dialogue came off as arbitrary. A shame really, because Steins;Gate had more or less the same origin: began as a game (visual novel) and adapted into animated form, but expanded and heavily remade the story structure to being both compelling but also personal enough to present appealing character development while maintaining a sense of natural plot progression.
Ow my hand. >.>
