Anime Question

What anime was less than your expectations?

Post an anime that you were really looking forward to watch and when you finally did it was less than what your expectations were. Tell the reason(s) why you were disappointed.



Diabolik Lovers is under this category. I think it's because I really hyped myself up for it... I mean it had TWO of my guilty pleasures in it, vampires and reverse harem. And not to say I hated it, it was just disappointing. The episodes were short and they treated her awful. This was no lovey dovey reverse harem but the nightmarish, can't escape kind. But then again I applaud the anime with going with what "real" vampires would probably be like. And for how short the episodes were, it did a good job of building characters and telling the back stories of the brothers. I don't want to deter people from watching it, it just for me was less than expectations.

Oh and feel free to comment as much as you like on mine and others! Hopefully no one will take offense if favorites show up.

Is Diabolik Lovers worth watching though? Because I wanted to watch it...

I don't regret watching it. The anime it's self is short so it won't take up much of your time, like the episodes are 15ish minutes long and there is only 13 of them. And I loved the art, music, and everyone seems to like at least one of the brothers. Just know they are pretty sadistic but they do have a pretty sad and dark past. I'll probably watch it again in the future now that I know what i'm in for

Kyoukai no Kanata. Everyone made it out to be the best thing ever, but it bored the hell out of me and I couldn't make it through episode two without stopping. From what I know, Hiroomi is pretty cool though. Only thing about the show I like is him. Everything else I hate.

Same goes for Noragami, except the character I liked was Yukine. Everything else was kind of "meh" for me tbh
The art/character designs weren't that bad I'll admit tho it was a lot better than knk

That's good to know on Kyoukai no Kanata, I wanted to watch it and it's on my list but I never felt in the mood to watch it. Seemed like it would be slow, so I'm glad to know what i'll be in for

Ah, I was hoping I could talk about this pile of human failure again! Dear ol' Kiba: TV Animation. When I saw the backdrops and character models for this show, I thought it would be pretty good. The summary wasn't the best, but I thought that at the very least I would get a solid friendship/fantasy anime. Ha. Ha. Ha. Episode one was the BIGGEST lying teaser that I have ever seen. It was dark, gritty, mysterious, and even a bit scary. The two main protagonists complemented each other perfectly, and the opening was awesome. So, I was pretty excited, and I wanted to see what would happen to the heroes! I wish they both died... 5 episodes later and this show secured itself as a generic, boring, choppy, dislikable show. Did I keep watching? Of course I did! After episode one at that evil little cliffhanger, I wanted to find out what happened to Noa! And, because this show couldn't be totally bad so I could save myself from it, Noa was the most interesting and sympathetic character in the ENTIRE show. I cared about him, I wanted him to find Zed, and I wanted him to live normally. But as the series went on, even Noa became bland and annoying by the end of the show. I really had high hopes and I got the worst anime I've seen to date. No, I have not watched Boku no Pico. And I never will.

Arcana Famiglia-At first,I thought it was a cool anime since I like action(kinda)reverse-harem.But then when I watched it,it was too rushed and I got bored after a few minutes.Liberta is just a copy of Naruto and that's why I don't like any of the characters.The fights are lame.(Spoilers!)When Felicita fought his own father in the tournament,all she did was kick,kick and kick.Also,when Liberta and Nova fought,all they did were slashing their swords 'x' style.I was hoping to see more of their powers,but...no.

Higurashi-I do like it;it's in my top 10 favourite anime.The reason I put it here is because it didn't turn out as good as I expected it would be

That definitely has to be Mekakucity Actors

I always loved the songs and I always hoped there would be an anime (haven't read the manga though) And when I heard that there was finally going to be an Anime I was so happy.

But the story was really confusing with all the flashbacks and it was really hard to get into it in the beginning. But the ending was pretty cool.

I liked the anime but it was just not as good as I thought it would be.

BUT HEY THE SONGS ARE FRICKIN' AWESOME ;D

1. Pretty Rhythm All Star Selection: I expected all the Pretty Rhythm girls to meet each other and hang out with each other, but instead I get a RECAP OF THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE FIRST SERIES!!!!!!!!! D:

2. Non Non Biyori: I read the manga and I was hyped up for it, but the anime was soooooooo boring and so unfunny. I ended up dropping it at episode 3 since I couldn't handle the slowness of the anime.

3. Mitsudomoe. I was expecting it to be a overpowered moe anime that was so cute, it's irresistible. The art style made me watch the first episode. It was clearly the opposite.

4. Hetalia. (Laugh at me all you want) I thought it was gonna be a middle aged anime and there would be fighting the entire 5 minutes. I was scared to watch it, but I finally gave it a go, and, it was completely violence free!

5. Pretty Cure. The name for it. I was expecting it to be a super duper girly anime and all the Cures were into fashion, makeup, dollies, and other girly things. I finally watched it, and it was NOT NEARLY AS GIRLY AS IT SOUNDS!!!!

Fullmetal Alchemist / Brotherhood. The anime community in general is always reveling it as a "masterpiece" and as "the best ever", and it actually did look cool, so I gave it a shot. I personally don't see anything that makes it differ from all of the other mainstream anime series out there. The character development, plot twists, and "depth" tied into the story are all just stereotypical for a Shounen anime series, and I personally don't find it entertaining. I don't hate it, and I actually don't find it to be a bad series per say, but in comparison to some other series I have viewed thus far, I really don't find it to be anything special. I only found it worth the watch due to a certain character. (It was Lust, BTW).

I know what people are going to say: "It has a lot of great meaning, you just need to overlook the genre of the series!" and I'm not going to disrespect that because I understand that it does have its intended depth to a degree but it's not something that I personally find useful for thought....

I actually expected a lot more from that anime... There was almost no romance and seriously, it was overly dramatic... On facebook, the admin of a page recommended this anime to ANOHANA & CLANNAD lovers... This anime was not even junk compared to those two... Seeing that post, i really did get all excited over it... I don't think it was as bad as i sound but still, my expectations may have ruined the anime...

Samurai Champloo's episodes were either a hit or a miss for me. There were some episodes I thought were really hilarious or exciting, and then there were others that were odd or boring
