"Well, That Ruined It" Experiences in Anime
 

I recently watched Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.


The first thirteen episodes were perfect then the last one completely ruined it. Entirely ruined the whole damn thing. I don't see myself ever picking up this anime again. It's hard to describe. Makes me wish I didn't even get a direct ending to it.

Ever have this problem with an anime? Something in the ending completely ruined and derailed the experience. Or made you rather angry/upset. The ending to Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien left me in a very, veeeery sour mood, to put it lightly. It has probably the best soundtrack I've ever heard, no contest. But I won't touch it again. At least not for a very, very long time.

Use spoilers tags, prease =I Lemme know if this is a dupe of another thread and I'll close it.

Like many others, the last episode of Rurouni Kenshin completely enraged me. I mean, the last arc was already bad enough, and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse...



As a result, I refused to recognize the ending to the series.

Another mildy disappointing one was for Air. Now, I'm not saying the last episode was bad. On the contrary, I loved it! However, that one bit they threw in near the end,

Mahoromatic, naturally.

A wonderfully enjoyable, funny and somewhat touching series (two seasons) otherwise, with cute, endearing characters, the last two episodes - or rather, the last episode and the last 10 minutes of the second last episode - were one big FUCK YOU note to the fans from Gainax.

I've since then (two years) been unable to watch even the pleasant episodes of either season and it's even more awkward because I have both seasons burned to disc. I guess I should be glad I didn't buy them on DVD.

I have to agree with Qwarky on that one. The last episode of Mahoromatic threw me for a fit for sure. The way they just kind of changed the entire series.



also, as much as I loved Rozen Maiden, there were so many ideas that they just didn't seem to complete.

Not an Anime, but a manga (I hope that's okay...)

About 3/4 of the way through book 8 of the Chobits manga,


WHAT?! You mean you've been stringing me along for 7 and 3/4 books only to drop that bomb on me right at the very end??

I felt pretty sour after that.

The only Anime that got hit very hard is definately Rurouni Kenshin.



I guess in the anime biz, its all about the money. :rolleyes: . Which is why , when there is a Death Note anime coming up, i dont want it to fail or end like kenshin. the Filler has to be very good (I wouldn't mind a filler arc with L and Raito but it has to be before the Yotsuba arc)

QFT!!

Full Metal Alchemist wasn't totally spoiled, but the ending was really rushed. Yes, I've watched Conqueror of Shambala and I know the manga went farther, but that's not enough:


Fruits Basket was unresolved and the adventures of the Sohma family were rather truncated in the anime:

The entire Wolf's Rain OVA part...yeah, they needed more to the store, but that was uncalled for!

And people, you can spoiler = 'balbalbal' to say what show its spoiling now have fun with that :)

I sit down with a friend.

"Hey friend, what anime is this?"

"Harr harr, its Outlaw Star, SHUT UP!

"Okies, I'll watch it."

"OMG THAT WAS A NIFTY ANIME!"

"Did you just let me watch the LAST episode of an anime before seeing the rest of it?"

"....."

Experience......RUINED!

I was a little angry over the ending for Those Who Hunt Elves II, mainly because

Easy (in Naruto):

Evangelion's descent into nonsenical psychological banter with animated squiggly-lines. I was looking forward to more mech-on-mech action but got Freud-chan instead.

Recently, Mai Otome killed me with it's very foundation (fanservice).

The characters never really developed, and when the show tried to do this, it was already too late into the series to make up for it. Retarded plot twists and boring cast kept this series from living up to Mai HiME.

There was a sequel series to Those Who Hunt Elves?

Huh. Odd o_O

I decided to sit down and watch Evangelion on CN:



*changes channel*

Well, Eva got picked up on sheer hype alone. I put RahXephon above it, sense it has a... Uhm... Understandable ending. Given, a supplement from the movie is kinda required for a nicer grasp.

Eva should never have been on CN. The voice acting, for starters, is Anime Voice Acting 1.1 or so. Not as old as voice acting in anime gets, but it isn't of these newer series, where there are great actors. Hell, ADV used the exact same voice actors for ALL their anime. Got kinda old to hear the same voices and the same poor actors repeatedly.

Eva snagged my attention when it was first being brought over on video. I remember watching a Blueseed VHS thingie and I saw a trailer. The opening song was fan-fuckin'-tastic. It is the first anime OST I've ever bought.

They still do that nowadays, too. Funimation seems to do this a lot as well. They just use the same acting pool over again, mainly just switching up who plays lead roles and who plays minor roles. It can get annoying sometimes, even if they are just in one episode of another series or something like that.

Especially in FUNimation's case. I end up watching anime of theirs and saying, "Oh yeah, that's the same guy who played <insert character here> from DBZ"

:dotdotdot:

Well,the professional VA pool in America is not yet as vast as in Japan,so it's understandable to see a lot of the same people. It seems pretty much very other licensed anime has Crispin Freeman/Steven Jay Blum doing some roles. But because they do a damn fine job,I don't really mind. Plus,watching anime and being able to recognize the VAs while you're at it is kind of fun. For me,at least.

Yeah, having Crispin Freeman in a dub is only a good thing.

This "sequel" was certainly a disappointment. It seemed slightly interesting during the last five or so episodes though, but wasn't as gripping as Mai HiME.

I think Otome was fun though. The character development wasn't as strong but it had a great setting and I love adventure romps. Here's hoping that the OVA or third series that I hear is being planned takes the best of both series.

Well, the one thing Otome did right was make me respect Shizuru (in HiME as well). I just sort of liked her in HiME and was blinded by Nao's mischievious awesomeness, but Otome reminded me of how more awesome Shizuru is.

I don't think I'll look at baby toys quite the same way, though.

Well, I forgot the signs for spoilers. What were they again? [Spoilers][/Spoilers]?

remove the "s"

Okay :D

Tenchi in Tokyo. The ending actually ruined my love of the show.



I watched all of those episodes just for that?!?! I'm glad the Tenchi in Tokyo series was short.

You can also use [spoil] for quicker typing.

Be sure to read:
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/mi...o=bbcode#spoil

You consider 26 episodes short? That's nearly thirteen hours of your life wasted!

You should already know

Was it 26 episodes? I thought is was like 12.

But anyways, Think of how much longer it could have been though. It was short for an anime series. I would have really been pissed off if I watched something like Naruto for some seasons and then had a crappy ending like that. It could always be worse...

Yeah...


Or I'm just reading too much into it....

Anyway back on topic.....I like s-CRY-ed but the ending was a little forced.



I can't bring myself to watch the ending again....I mean I really should, maybe it will clear some stuff up....but still...the ending didn't live up to the first part of the series sad to say.

Big O. Seriously. There's all this buildup, and then the final episode makes absolutely no sense and gives you random crap. The only cool thing about it is the gigantic cannon weapon.

Magical Teacher Negima, the whole series sort of treads water the whole way, and then BAM!

Clearly Eva's ending. Won't go there.

And then the Rurouni Kenshin manga, not the ending obviously. I loved the Kenshin manga ending (I never watched the anime) but the time when

FMA was ruiend for me:



The movie:

The only one I could think of is:



Another one was:

Death note


I dont even bother to continue my reading. The title should be changed into Lame Note.

Card Captor Sakura, the lamest plot (in third season) ever

I second Big O. Actually, I thought the last episode was fine until the final couple minutes or so. By trying to be clever, they just ended up making everything so far seem silly and inconsequential.

Yeah, with Big O, they never really solved the mystery of the city and why everyone had amnesia, they just threw together a whole bunch of different theories (stolen from other sci-fi and anime) and left it very vague. This is because it was supposed to have a third season:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_O#Uncertain_ending

If the third season had explained the ending of the second season and finally completed the series, Big O could have been up there in my top 5 animes ever.

Even so, it was still a great series to watch. Incredible battles, music, and voice acting.

With all this talk about Mai-HiME, I thought it was a fun show until the ending, which disappointed me :( It's still good though, but the ending could've been way better.

I was expecting a...


I didn't mind the Wolf's Rain OVA that much. It's set up that way so you can make up your own theories about what happened.

Martian Successor Nadesico. No spoiler tags needed here: there is literally no ending. I swear the writers were playing a sick joke... and the movie, where one hopes questions will be resolved, does nothing but leave more questions unanswered.

That show, by far, had one of the worst endings I've ever seen. The show was entertaining until that piece of garbage aired. >_<

Oh do I have many to mention...

1) Mahoromatic



2) Evangelion



3) Tenchi In Tokyo



4) Tenchi Muyo OVA3

Rockman.exe (2nd Seasion onwards)
Fuckin' Cross Fusion turned an enjoyable series into a pain in the arse power rangers clone and then didn't bother to give is a Roll/Meiru crossfusion untill 3rd Seasion and even then it was a Roll/Meiru/Rush crossfusion. BLEH.

I remember the last few lines... It was something along the lines of "There are lots of unanswered questions, we know. BUT THAT'S OKAY :'D"

Watch the whole thing anyway D: Outlaw Star is a fantastic series, and many of the individual episodes are worth watching on their own.



As far as endings go I agree with the Mahoromatic "wtf" ending. I also felt that World of Narue's ending was kinda rushed.

Shinji + First few min of "The End of Evangelion"

YES you know what scene I'm talking about! It was more disturbing than the rest of the movie O_O

I used to be a HUGE fan of tenchi...


Then the Tokyo series aired. That entire series was pretty much one ginormous "what the fuck?" for me. =\

Big O would be the next anime that pretty much left me kind of "meh" followed by (and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this) Dragonball GT.

Everything about this spinoff is just off.

I used to be a big fan of Z and as I got older and noticed "OK, all they do is grunt and scream" my interest waned - specifically around the Buu saga. But I watched it till the end and ultimately was somewhat satisfied. It had run its course pretty well. GT however was abysmal and it is only select episodes of the show that I can actually tolerate. Most of it is gaping plotholes, random filler, an obnoxious over reliance on Pan (who many have deemed the japanese version of Scrappy Doo) and an enormous over reliance on Goku. In the original Dragonball this was OK because Goku was pretty charming and thats what made it work so well. In Z part of the fun was the large plethora of characters and how they interacted with one another via the large and consuming backstory (when they weren't grunting and screaming and randomly flexing muscles). In GT - it was pretty much "lets turn Goku into a kid for umpteen episodes and fly him around outer space with a watered down Trunks halfcocked and giving him a spunky girl sidekick who beats up on him even though he's her grandfather".

Yeeeaaahh... -__-

About Tenchi's mother: Tenchi Muyo! was created by Kajishima Masaki - he was the primary designer of the characters and the concept for the Tenchi OAV series, including the novels, various doujinshi, and GXP TV series. He was NOT involved in Tenchi Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo, the 3 movies, Pretty Sammy, and pretty much anything else. In other words, these are NOT cannon material to the Tenchi OVA and GXP. Just spin offs set in their own universe. Therefore Tenchi has different mothers in Tenchi Muyo! in Love and the OVA. Different names, different mothers.

Sailor Chibi Moon...Need I say more? Entertaining show = derailed.

I won't say the "ending" of Ranma 1/2 ruined the previous episodes, but it was one of the emptiest feelings I've had watching anything. The last two episodes weren't even that good.

I caught Dragonball Z at JUST the right time...Right when they were showing the Frieza and Cell Sagas. It took forever to get to the Buu Saga and it was a mess even when it got there...I went a year without cable and when I got it back, they were barely into introducing Buu the next year. I taped the episodes as they ticked by, but I don't plan on ever watching them.

I started on the anime of Full Metal Panic and really liked the first couple of episodes. Then it started focusing too much on the badly done military sequences, as opposed to the cool romantic comedy angle of the earlier episodes. Fumoffu was a welcome addition, but a lot of sequences were nowhere near as good as the manga. Feels like so much potential was wasted overall.

Also, Tenchi never really got back the momentum of the first 13 episodes of the "Universe" series. First it was the badly implemented space chase back to Jirai, then the rancid Tenchi in Tokyo series. I don't know if I should approach the new series, because I've seen just how badly it can be handled...

Just in General...
 

Don't you hate it when it's the beginning of the episode and the TITLE tells you who's going to win the match, or exactly what's going to happen at the end of the episode?

It happened a couple of times for me during Initial D, probably happens elsewhere as well.

Yeah well...



Although this is still my favorite series.

Blood+. I was a huge fan of this series and while it started awesome ...



Pissed me the hell off.

Yeah, I hear what your saying. Still the series kept me interested enough to watch it through until the end. I wonder if anymore plot twists are going to be thrown in with one episode left?

Gantz anime

Trigun.

This happened at a very strange time in my life. For some reason, my friends and I "discovered" three different series at the same time - Escaflowne (me), Trigun (David) and EVA (David #2).

Despite the rather crude animation job on Escaflowne, we all really enjoyed it, even though I still feel the end of it to be a touch too abrupt.

Evangelion caused a couple arguements - mostly around how I thought it was superior to the three if for the simple fact it tried hard to be something different and dropped the ball a lot of the time. (Still remains my favorite anime series)

Trigun, though? I was really enjoying the show. It was kinda flakey at times and the animation was about on par with Escaflowne (I'm an animation fan - so I tend to find 99% of all anime to be very badly done), but the very end of the show was really, really .... dull.

The build-up was there but the climax was throw away. It seemed like the show had been handed over to some gleeful teenager who only understood the glaring generalizations of the show instead of it's once-in-a-while subtle nudges. I was really offended by that last episode.

I could totally agree with that. A major reason for the Trigun ending being so "wha...?" could also be attested to the fact that the production company decided to go off on thier own tangent for the ending instead of following the canonized (UGH) ending from the Manga. This is the one thing that ruins a LOT of anime IMO. Trigun went on for a lot longer in manga form and went in a different direction than that final ep. Plus I THINK the order that Vash encounters them as well as the ideals of quite a few of the Gung Ho Guns were totally different. I'd have to ask a friend of mine who is a nut for the manga but doesn't look fondly upon the way the show turned up. I can't remember the reasons for why that happened.

Please don't use the word "canon" in any of it's forms. It's one of those words that flags the "idiot" alarm.

If you HAVE to use it, please follow it with a sound of disgust, such as (UGH).

LOL! Heaven knows I needed that laugh....Post duly edited. XD

You know, I never knew that the Trigun manga was different. I'll have to read that now since I too found the anime's ending very abrupt. Thanks guys. =)

for the most part, the manga is similar until the series becomes serious, the first 2 mangas are pretty close the the anime, but MAXIMUM is much diffirent

Well it's manga but I'm not sure if the anime of Death Note has caught up yet.

Death Note will totally throw you for a loop by the end. That is all.

Umm... X/1999. The worst part for me was...

I am a big fan of Hellsing, particularly the manga. When I saw the first incarnation of it in anime form, I was pleased and the series was great until the Incognito storyline came about. I never understood why they went with a 13 episode series for Hellsing, anyway, furthermore they left out a lot of the awesome characters: Pip, Rip Van Winkle, the fuhrer, the odd cat-boy lackey of the fuhrer who I can't remember's name, they didn't give Walter near as much screen presence as he deserves, Celes' character became even more two-dimensional. They also left out the badass, tattooed, nazi, voodoo bitch. They also didn't bother to explain much about the Hellsing organization itself or its former relationship with the Vatican, and they even left out the two characters from the CrossFire sidestory. About the only thing they did include was a brief reference to Admiral Harkonen from Dune.

But, yes, Incognito ruined it for me, first seven episodes were great, after that, suck.

i will agree with that, but you have to remeber, that when that was animated, there where only 2 mangas out at that point it time, so considering, its not that bad, but this new hellsing shoudl prove good

I have to say Inuyasha the last episode the didnt kill naraku or regain the jewel shard it just ended with Ohh we will still hunt for naraku and collected the jewel shards and the series just ends with that and you have to read the manga to figure out how they kill naraku

and the Anime of Dragon Half they only did 2 episodes of the show and stopped it and there is more manga's of it then the show

Most of the things that came to mind were already said...so:

Eureka Seven.
What they did to the moon in the last episode, oh my...
These kind of events just hurt me. Deep.

Wonderful job of bumping all the dust off this long-dead thread, game_dragon1. If you want to continue, at least use spoiler-tags if you're going to give out direct facts about endings.

game_dragon1 is pretty new to this game of bbcode and what not. gd1, please check out our faq. It has a nice area with all the bbcode for the forums.

NICE BOAT

That's all I'ma gonna say, looks like the Commy Censorfags have defeated japan, guys. No more fun from there ever again.

I must give my vote to Mahoromatic, as the ending for it was really something I didn't enjoy watching. :(



Another one that pops up on my head is, [b]Mobile suit gundam: 08th Team. Even though it's understandable that the story wasn't finished by the same author, the last half of the series seemed a little odd.

I vote the ending of Zero no Tsuikaima Season 2.

About what people have said about Wolf's Rain's ending:



Oh, and I'm one of those guys who watched and somewhat enjoyed Trinity Blood.

I'm just upset by a few simple things:

Gurren Lagan (Yes, I'm going there, stand the fuck well back)

Of all the Endings Gainax could of picked to copy for Lagan, why Mahromantic?

Meh much Anime disappointments, although I'm remixing a lot of what's already been said in this post

FMA

Excel Saga

Dragonball Z

Tenchi Muyo

Neo Genesis Evangelion

Elfin Lied

Naruto


[/rant]

Probably the worst for me so far had to be the end of Naruto (the last real episode, not counting fillers).

SERIOUSLY. I get so tired of those types of characters. I wish writers would learn what character development is. Comedy is great and all, but doing the same joke over and over again and throwing what little development characters do have with one another out the window for some crappy joke really pisses me off. That's why I stopped watching that show in any case. I also get tired of all the retarded fanservice, but that's something all together. =P

*ahem* Anyway, these are all the few I can recall about anime in particular:

FMA


Rurouni Kension OVAs:


Escaflowne:


There should be a topic for manga as well! Poor manga never gets any attention. =(

Totally agree with you, dude. I loved the entire anime up until that point. I would advise reading the manga, it's really good. The anime is nearly dead on for being exactly like the manga all the way up until the last two episodes where they completely go off in left field because it was obvious they needed to end it quickly. I will tell you, (so far) that has yet to happen at all in the manga and everything just continues on like normal with that part never even mentioned at all.

Too many characters though!

Ahahahahahahaha that ruined it for you? Dude, the entire Negima anime is terrible. The out of nowhere [lookatheabovespoiler] made it at least mildly interesting. They were doing some alright things in the beginning but the skipping of tons of crap and trying too hard to rewrite it differntly just destroyed it. They basically gave up before they even tried. Had they just followed the manga with a few additions here and there, used the true hair colors, took advantage of the 3d models and background work for the manga, and designed it to be several seasons long then Negima would still be going bi-yearly or something and it probably would be one of the best shows out there. The Negima anime besides the ending is completely saddening.

Full Metal Panic TSR

The could have done that with the Love Hina anime as well, Acer. It was long enough for two seasons, and that was the plan, but they lost funding for it. They finally got enough money to make the Christmas and Spring specials and Love Hina Again to finish the series. For some reason, Akamatsu's series get shit on when it comes to translating them into anime form.

Love Hina was another anime for me that got ruined. They left out every bit of plot detail and changed character personalities quite a bit. Entire sections of the manga's story get left completely out in favor of adding in that bullshit where the girls become j-pop idols and other stupid shit. The Love Hina Again OVA special was the only part of the anime I liked at all. It looked a hell of a lot better(the artwork was a lot closer to Akamatsu's) and the story follows the manga a lot closer.

MakoAoyama, I'm in complete agreement on Love Hina. There were a few additions the anime did that were nice but for the most part they left out so much and the flow of what story it had was pretty disjointed compared to the manga. Definitely not as bad as Negima! though. I'd say the anime is missing over half the manga's material and that's largely in part of changes and additions they made. I don't like the anime's style either but I'm not completely happy with Love Hina Again's either. LHA was closer to the manga's style but it felt way too rigid. I don't understand how you can talk about LHA as being closer to the manga's story. It totally sideswiped volumes worth of material with a truck and ruined the build up to the diving cross/ring scene. And then it just ends with tons of stuff left to be covered. LHA was the final "it ain't ever gonna happen the way it should" move of the anime. Not to say I didn't enjoy Love Hina and its OVAs but after reading the manga I'm just so disappointed in what it should have been.

Oh, I'm not by any means suggesting that it was good, because you are right. They still left out a crap load even in Again, but I felt it was a hell of a lot better than the rest of the series for having more in common with the manga. But hell, they left the entire epilogue out! Ema didn't even show up in the anime.
A lot of it for me was the art style. Akamatsu's artwork was a big part of what made the manga so damn good for me, he's very good at what he does(that and all of Motoko's good stories, which also mostly got left out). The anime totally ruined that for me. Not to say that the artwork is bad, because it looks great...but NOT for Love Hina. LHA was the only part of the anime that was even close to his artwork.

See, with Negima, I have all of the manga so far and I've read it through twice, but I'm really starting to lose track of everything that's going on. They release each new volume with so much time between the last ones release, I forget what is going on by the time a new one comes out. I remember reading it and watching the anime and thinking they were pretty close up until the end of the anime, but I could be wrong. It has been a while since I read the past volumes. I may not be remembering it right.

Yeah, but I did enjoy the new characters the anime added. Kentaro, Moe, and Mai were great. I didn't mind the original stories either. I didn't like the big rewrites though.

You really ought to read the first few volumes of Negima (like to volume five or six) and then go watch the anime again. You'll see how different and disjointed everything is then. After that you'll probably agree that the ending of the Negima anime is probably the only interesting and noteworthy part of the whole show considering all the crap that came before it. It just came out of left field and with nothing left to enjoy the ending at least kept me interested since they had obviously given up on following the manga and decided to fuck trying to jig-saw puzzle their way to something coherent and just do something interesting.

I think that's what threw me off so bad on the ending was that it was completely out of nowhere. Everything was literally fine and then out of freakin' nowhere - BOOM! - and your like "What the hell? Where did that even come from?!" because it totally doesn't happen in the manga. It just really annoyed me because you could tell they just got to the end, ran out of funding or whatever and said "Okay, here's a quick fix because we can think of anything better and we don't have time."

The only one out of those 3 characters I liked was Moe. I HATED Kentaro with a passion because it didn't feel like he really had a place. He was just kinda there. And I don't remember Mai, or is that Suu's sister? I can't remember her name, but if that's Suu's sister, yeah she was alright I guess. That giant alligator was funny.

I forgot about Suu's sister (and brother for that matter) because she only appears a few times and I can't remember her talking much.

My bad it's not Mai but Mei. Mei is Naru's sister. She show's up in the very last chapter of the Love Hina manga and is referenced maybe twice before that. She is however in the anime for a couple episodes so she got a much bigger character role in the anime and was of course therefore way more fleshed out a character than a mere non-talking cameo in the final chapter of the manga. Akamatsu has more than made up for it in Negima as her entire character design and name are none other than for Sakura Mei. Although there lies the last name issue, she is a step-sister of Naru and we never do find out what her original last name was in Love Hina. She hinted on wanting to study abroad which matches up with the Sakura Mei character in Negima who did just that. I'd say they are one in the same.

Kentaro was obviously a gag character but he played off of Kitsune very well and gave some light on her character who was never shown or gone into detail enough in my opinion. <3 her. So yeah, that and he was for the most part a decent guy who helped out after getting over Naru. And really, the show did need another male character because Haitani and Shirai purposefully didn't show up that often as it was apart of their character to be forgotten.

And seriously, go read the first five or six volumes of Negima again, watch Negima, and then see how badly they went when they were sticking vaguely to the source material. You'll see that they really couldn't save the show so the original-to-the-show, out-of-nowhere ending was probably the best thing they scrounged up after all the crap minus the Kazumi/Sayo episode which was excellent. The rest of the show was a disaster and the ending while intentionally not faithful to the source was the only interesting part of a big waste of time and money.

Oh, Mei! Okay, yeah I remember her. She was alright I guess. Seems like her personality is different in Negima, but I guess she is older then.
I'll eventually get around to rereading Negima, when I get time. I've read Love Hina like 7 times so I guess I could give Negima the same treatment, heh...

how about School Days and its "Nice Boat Ending" that last episode killed it for me

I literally had to drag myself through the entire Bount arc in Bleach, it was so terrible.
There's no character development, there's no real sense of urgency, there's no real motive to the Bount for at least 20 episodes, and everyone started fighting like they lost their balls back in Soul Society.

As far as those Naruto fillers go, I haven't watched much of the anime outside of what's been localized, but from what I understand everything is filler after the Sasuke retrieval episodes (ending at ep. 135)? How bad does it get after that?

Gundam Seed Destiny. Yeah, pretty awful as is but they made it worse...

SAIKANO. I wasn't overly fond of the series to begin with, but it wasn't bad. And then the end came, and I was like, "WHAT THE HECK. Whhhhaaat the heck."

I'll have to agree with those who mentioned Death Note. There were a fair few things I didn't like about how they handled it, despite the excellent premise.

I have to say the last of the Rurouni Kenshin arcs kind of ruined the series for me. It went from incredibly epic to really rather boring.

I'm putting Code Geass up here for one thing certain:

ToLoveRU.

First 13 episodes were alright. Hell, the 14th episode was also alright.

Then welcome 10 episodes of POINTLESS filler. I hear the last episode is a fucking RESET and the main character doesn't make a fucking choice with his harem either. A big hearty FUCK YOU, XEBEC.

You can't really blame XEBEC, seeing as the manga is still running and all.

No, I would blame XEBEC. They have a track record of doing this shit. Love Hina & Negima are forever stunted because of their crap handling of anime adaptations of manga.

I'm upset because of fucking Pilot Candidate. I mean, honestly. Did Bandai just go HEY IT'S A BIG ROBOT ANIME LET'S GET IT LOCALIZED FOR AMERICA EVEN THOUGH IT GOT CANCELLED HALF-WAY THROUGH? The show was very enjoyable, cliched stock characters and all, and then it ends with "stuff's gonna happen!" End credits end series.


It's like Bandai teased me.
