What anime disappointed you the most?

Darryl Mendoza · February 12, 2006, 12:37:07 PM

I just wanna know what anime you wanted to watch so badly but just got slapped in the face and was let you down.

I was let down by the Love Hina and Negima animes both compared to the manga, they are not really good. In Love Hina, they took out all the major parts that Keitaro and the others had in the manga and also changed all the parts around. In Negima, it started off way different than in the manga and also changed the story a little bit later when it came near an end. I just wanna know why they had to make all the damn changes.

Puni Puni Poemi needs more episodes. Or are the the people at Victor Entertainment and JC Staff as they were in Excel Saga out of ideas?

Most of my complaints are concerning anime that need more episodes because sometimes they end a little abruptly.

However, ditto to Negima. The manga is much more action packed, and the anime lacks in many details.

Hellsing turned out pretty bad, imo.
The manga is very entertaining but the plot for the anime was fairly lame, as was the bad guy.
And on the translations they totally messed up with the "Arucard".

Sin. Mainly for the fact that it sucked in every aspect.

Love Hina.... I`m sorry but I hate repeating patterns.

OniCourseMusha · February 13, 2006, 10:21:45 AM

Samurai Deeper Kyo.

The manga is awesome but when I watched the anime I was like wtf!?!? This is not good!

Suzuka. I hate all of the characters and the story dragged on.

who wants the CD's of this anime?

Initial D, the arcade spoiled the storyline, if there was one. It's like DragonBall Z with cars.

"Oh, an 86! My (insert car here) can beat that old piece of junk!"
Tak(umi) wins.

This pattern lasts several episodes and 2 manga volumes.

Negima was dissapointing for many reasons, it doesnt comapre to the manga by far.

Mordyan · February 14, 2006, 08:55:04 AM

Tokyo Underground. The ending was abrubt and they didnt explain what happened well enough.

It seemed like they went, "Oh sh@t, we are on episode 26. We need to wrap it up quick!"

Cloudzero · February 14, 2006, 02:05:08 PM

Divergence Eve- I was hoping they'd have a bit of substance aside from the bounce, but it looks like that's all there was to it. You could get better storytelling from h -_-;;

Final Fantasy Unlimited-Good try, but it honestly could have done much better.

narutofreak1 · February 14, 2006, 03:19:53 PM

yami no matsuei or descendants of darkness

the anime was kool but when i read the manga it had nothing to do with the anime series so was a little dissapointed :cry:

Exactly.

Gantz. Man I wish they'd redo this and do it right the second time.

~~Loktera~~ · February 23, 2006, 07:15:06 PM

Dual! - Holy Moses! Talk about borrowed concepts. The first time I saw this I was thinking to myself "Why the hell are Relena(GW) and Tenchi(TM!) piloting Evas? And who the hell is this little Hitler Clone? SERIOUSLY?!?!? WTF?!?!"

Key: The Metal Idol - Even to this day I still don't get it.

Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of a Heroic Knight - Aside from having the longest title ever, it was one helluva way to kill an awesome series.

Kazuko · February 23, 2006, 08:07:03 PM

Yami No Matsui- They should remake it D: it was good and all but it needs some tweakage.

FAKE- That show needs more episodes than just two D:

ip136 · February 23, 2006, 09:33:45 PM

People are going to go 'ohmigawd, why!?'
But...

Bleach.

I read the first manga and found it somewhat entertaining. I attempted to watch the first episode 3 different times and just for some reason disliked it so much I couldn't even get THROUGH that episode until the 3rd time.. then dumped the entire folder.

EternalMalachi · February 24, 2006, 09:46:24 PM

Berserk! Stupid not having a 2nd season yet. When that ended, I had to double check to make sure that I wasn't missing a disc.

Full Metal Alchemist. WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG w/ Ed? The movie did a better job at ending the series than the end of season 2, but still.....

And whats wrong w/ Alucard in Hellsing? Alucard = draculA, so its supposed to be Alucard, not Arucard. Blame the Japanese for using R's for L's.

I'm rather surprised at some of the other titles on this list. Cowboy Bebop had a perfect ending, really. And a good (ie: makes sense and ends the story well, not good as in happy go lucky fun time) ending to a Japanese story is damn rare, if you ask me.
