"Well, That Ruined It" Experiences in Anime

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...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
