Anime Question

Post a series you think started off well, but went downhill and disappointed you.

For me, it's Mushishi. The first episode was great - really cool and interesting, not to mention I instantly liked the main character, Ginko (he's like a cross between Kakashi Hatake from Naruto and Snufkin from The Moomins - i.e. he's awesome), but after that... it got rather repetitive. All the episodes pretty much followed the same structure and there was only one episode that ever actually revolved around Ginko. The rest were about the people he helped, who were all as boring as the average Naruto filler character. In fact, they basically WERE filler characters. Such a shame; it had so much potential... I love the mood of the anime, so relaxing and peaceful... but there was no progressive story line, it was as though every episode was a filler and that just put me off. :/

I hate to be a pooper but....Death Note.

DO NOT GET ME WRONG the series is simply a masterpiece. one of the best animes I've seen with great potential and flawless plot. But I'm a but disappointed about how the second arch of the series and how certain characters turned out and how it ended. It went downhill since and then I got just as disappointed it didn't end a certain way that I thought it should have that's all. :/

I've only read the manga, but even though I didn't really like it as a whole in the first place, I really started to dislike it after L died, after that it was just meh...

I agree to be honest. Death Note is my third favorite anime EVER, but the whole thing with Mello and Near and successors was kinda.... yeah, meh seems the right word

I feel like I'm the only person who found the second half of the series to be better / more entertaining. ;_;

L was a big loss to the series... I didn't enjoy it as much after he died. It was still entertaining, though.

Sword Art Online
I could go on a giant rant about what I think of this series, but I've already done that so many times I'm keeping this short.

First two episodes, good, great even, sets up an interesting plot and seemingly great characters. After that it's just one big downhill roller coaster of over powered harem king Kirito among other things.

I've only watched about three episodes so far, so I can't agree or disagree with this one. XD

Future Diary. I loved the series, until the ending episodes. I don't want to spoil anything but all I can really say, was Yuno triggered Yukki to act 'Baddass' ad they got too ahead of themselves. The series blew up in my face.

I'm not gonna go into my full MAR rant, but let's just say this: It started out fun and fantasy like and ended as a really pathetic attempt at a dark, psychological mess (keyword: ATTEMPT)

I've been thinking about watching this series... should I bother?

^Ehhhh... That depends... I liked it, but it really wasn't anything incredable. They spend a tad to long on one part called the War Games, and then it kinda goes downhill after the Games end. Give it a shot if you want, but don't expect a jaw dropping masterpiece. And end it at episode 78 if you get that far. Best advice I can give.

^ Okay, I'll bear that in mind when I get round to it on my 'to watch' list. Thanks! =^^=

Definitely Sword Art Online. After the third episode, it started to gradually get worse, and then it turned from good to tolerable to just bad. I could rant about it, but I don't want to offend anyone who really likes the show.

It started out good and then went nowhere like they just started talking about trees for literally 5 episodes and I stopped watching it.

Maybe I'll finish it one day, I did like the characters a lot.
