"Well, That Ruined It" Experiences in Anime
I recently watched Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.
Read if you've seen it all:
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. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

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...
Spoiler:
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, Spoiler:

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. How ya doing, buddy? |
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.
Spoiler:
also, as much as I loved Rozen Maiden, there were so many ideas that they just didn't seem to complete. Spoiler:
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? Thanks to Jinn for Av/sig. |
Not an Anime, but a manga (I hope that's okay...)
About 3/4 of the way through book 8 of the Chobits manga, Spoiler:
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. I was speaking idiomatically. |
The only Anime that got hit very hard is definately Rurouni Kenshin.
Spoiler:
I guess in the anime biz, its all about the money. . 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) What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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:
Spoiler:
Fruits Basket was unresolved and the adventures of the Sohma family were rather truncated in the anime: Spoiler:
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

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

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! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I was a little angry over the ending for Those Who Hunt Elves II, mainly because

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. FELIPE NO |
There was a sequel series to Those Who Hunt Elves?
Huh. Odd o_O More KGNE Spoilers:

I decided to sit down and watch Evangelion on CN:

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. Eva spoilers:

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: How ya doing, buddy? |

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

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. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
