ITT: Wasted potential.
It fucked up so badly
I came with the expectation that I would fap. I fapped. It accomplished its task.
Mouretsu Pirates.
>>117803535
>>117803464
both of these
>>117803532
But it could have been so much more. I didn't even need to have been H, that always ends up shitty. It's odd that they went out of their way to get decent voice talent for something like this and then do so little.

Has anyone uploaded the C86 Drama CD yet?
>>117803535
I came for ass, I got my ass.
Darling, this is a show that lived up to it's potential.
>>117803593
you talk like it was never a fucking porn doujin
Kyoukai no Kanata.
Jesus fuck that show embodies the words wasted potential.
Oh well. Still had fun with it.
>>117803753
What in particular was squandered? There were hardly any opportunities for it to do anything remotely interesting since the beginning.
>>117803535
>You will never wake up seeing the morning sun rising between Rei's legs.
Why live?
>>117803705
That's the jrpg one right? I don't think the audio has but most of the art has, pic related.
>>117803805
Yeah I'm searching for the audio
>>117803793
It had an interesting setting and side characters that were never fully utilized.
Literally a waste of time.
>>117803774
Came to post that. Including the fun part.
I'll post this instead. It was good, but it should've been great. Fuck you, Toei.
>>117803748
Well obviously but hentai OVAs a shit and clearly they understood that. Problem is they also didn't do anything else.
>>117803793
Good animation.
Definitely this.

That quote is probably the most fedoristic thing I've ever read.

>Egoist
>Sawano
Guilty Crown was fucking perfect, then it aired and the writing went to shit immediately.
>>117803920
It was good that Gen wrote something so unarguably shit after Madoka and Psycho-Pass. Genfags were getting out of control.
>>117804072
Okinawan brown doesn't do it for me.
Best girls
>>117803257
In my book that's the second one after this
>>117803257
This actually got an animation?
>>117804211
Dat mahou shoujo midriff though
>>117804305
that shit is animated?
>>117804305
what was that sentient vertebrae even supposed to do?
>>117804318
A short non-H one.
>>117803772
But I enjoyed this show
>>117804384
Yea, I look it up, six fucking minutes? Non-H too?
The fuck is the point?
>>117804322
No
But is not as if OP was an actual animated version or something, it was a 2 minutes video. We are talking about wasted potential, if this or OP would have been actually animated it wouldn't be a waste
>>117804343
This never had potential.
>>117804349
Superstrengh and stamina to resist the hard envoirement and obliterate the monsters in case you need it
>>117804072
Also never had potential
>>117803920
This is not fair. He only did the first and last episodes of Gargantia.
It's like blaming George Lucus for Stars Wars for being shit because he only did episode 1-3.
>>117804343
This never wasted potential.
>>117804401
Hence this thread. I don't mind that it's non H because it could never mimic the look of the source material properly. But it's non H in the first place most likely because of the voice talent chosen, but then nobody says much and it's 6 fucking minutes.
>>117803772
Those first 3 epidodes were damn good too. Shame the show ended up shitting all over itself like a badly beaten dog.
>>117803920
but the potential though.
Galilei Donna
Zankyou no Terror
Madoka
TTGL
Symphogear
Psycho Pass
Bakemonogatari
All urobuchi or nasu trash
Ergo Proxy felt like a lot of wasted potential to me. Really excellent beginning, then just kind of fell apart once they started traveling around, ending was rushed as fuck too and I felt insulted by the "fuck, we have to write an ending and haven't managed to cram in all this backstory yet so let's dump it in a silly quiz show format" episode. A shame because I was really hyped in the beginning and thought I was in for something great.
>>117803615
This is a valid answer too. Would have been a great show if they made it about twice as long and ditched the shitty movies.
Angel Beats is another good one though not to the extent of these first two.
Eden of the East.
What the fuck was that even supposed to be about.
>>117805221
Kinda curious, what do you feel didn't work about Bakemonogatari?
>>117805938
These kinds of adaptations are almost never any good though. I think only the most optimistic of us ever really expected it to be.

He just picked two undeniably disappointing shows to win credibility, then five controversial shows to try to get a reaction. Standard trolling stuff. Ignore him.
Fucking bitch slut useless MC ruining the show with her mary sue fuckery

It was not just the MC that ruined this shitty show anon, really.

Fuck you BONES, CE sucked hard.
>>117803876
It might not have lived up to its full potential, but I certainly wouldn't call Kyousougiga a waste.
Now this, on the other hand,
>>117807424
>Hyped for the sick ass preview.
>Show turns out to be utter shit.
Oh man I was do disappointed finishing that.
Trainwreck incoming!
>>117807464
The problem is that it revolved around her and her stupid conspiracy plot instead of being more about cops and lawyers doing magic related cases.
Still a hell of a ride
>>117807690
R2 went above and beyond any expectations.
>>117807712
Don't forget that the Lucifer plot was fanfic tier and also, the absolutely terrible animation on the last episodes.
>>117803257
>Wasted potential
Grisaia trilogy
What a curveball that was, went in with low expectations and the first two episodes were pretty good. Then we started steamrolling through arcs and changing things around. Do they really want to get to Meikyuu so badly.
>>117803920
Zenmetsu, never forget.
>>117803920
I wouldn't expect anything less from the fans or the writer of Babies First Maho Shoujo the anime.
>>117805221
>Galilei Donna
That is a clusterfuck of too many writers and Umetsu losing his groove
>>117806046
It was better than everyone expected it to be. You should know how hard it is to adapt a VN with multiple routes, especially when you only have 12 episodes to work with. And honestly, the VN wasn't exactly stellar.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi.
How did they fuck up it this badly after first three episodes, I don't know.
>>117807779
I hae never played the sources, but im enjoying it so far tho
>>117807810
And the fact that it was supposed to be 24 episodes
>>117807590
>Oh man I was do disappointed finishing that.
I still have it stalled at episode 8 or so since it broadcasted. I think if it was porn we all would have been more happy.
>>117807865
It was all good. Except for the ending when red haired guy survived and MC ntr'd ghost girl.
>>117807774
>animation
>>117807712
It could have been great as a three episode hentai.
>>117807937
>>117807890
Man that was painful to watch. poor Umetsu
>>117807855
Most VN have multiple routes, this doesn't mean to do all of the routes. A better idea would've been to focus on Amane's and Makina's route, go through Angelic Howl, then to Meikyuu and ignore Rakuen.Also didn't know it was only 12 episodes, thought it was 24.
>>117807424
MC was a piece of shit, but she was only the biggest piece of shit within an entire bucket of shit.
>>117803920
The girls were incredibly hot though.
>>117807937
Umetsu is a great animator, does anyone have that Robot Carnival webm?
He worked on episode 10 of Madoshit as well.

>DenYuuDen not mentioned.
Aww shit niggas what are you doing? Op asked for wasted potential and nobody called Wasted Potential: The Animation.
Guilty Crowm
Valvrave
Captain Earth
All you had to do was write a simple and enjoyable super robot show, Enokido. Instead we got this weird Star Driver/Eva amalgamation that was painfully uneventful.
>>117808397
>Guilty Crown
>potential
Off the top of my head
Aldnoah Zero
Ergo Proxy
Chaika
Haruhi
All these shows had potential with their setting and characters to be something, and they fuck up royally
>>117808277
Not wasted potential, just needing a second season
Everything about saiko pass 2 minus Mika
>>117808856
What does Chaika fuck up? I think it has been steady on the same level of decency since it came out. It started an 8/10 and has stayed there the whole time
If only it wasn't so lewd and I could actually recommend it to my friends.
Hōkago no Pleiades / Wish upon the Pleiades.

okay, that's why they are pushing it again after 3 years:

>>117809422
The movie has been in the pipeline for ages. Maybe Gainax just finally got off their asses.
>>117808641
As usual, BONES makes a series with a few excellent episodes and themes, then fails to tie them into a cohesive rising action or plot.
If they cut apart Star Driver and CE, they may have one good series from the bits.
>>117805221
>Symphogear
Come on, that's like the oposite of wasted potential. It was supposed to be Madoka 2: Mecha boogaloo but became Badass girl punches everything. Now if you meant S2 then I might agree with you.
G-Reco could have been Gundam: Five Star Stories instead of the sorry mess we have right now.

>valvrave

what
It was pure trainwreck from the very beggining.
Gundam SEED Destiny
The first dozen or so episodes were legit good, a nice modern rendition of Char's Counterattack (my favorite UC entry)
Then it took a massive downhill and never recover.
>>117805221
>Galilei Donna
Man, I love this show. Writing fell to shit and there was the canceled, but Hozuki a best. Alcoholic law student with orange tights, what's not to love? And yandere pirate guy.

All those good girls, wasted.
>>117810099
>watch SEED Destiny
>first few episodes think "wow, this is way better than shitty SEED"
>mfw the rest of the show
>>117810411
It would be complete shit if not trainwreck value. It actually saved the show.
A bit of a weird example, but it's a shame that the designs and some concepts from the Fate prototype will likely never be used properly.
I'm not a fan of Otome stuff but I think the style and atmosphere, at least from the trailer and "spoilers" reminds me of the stuff Clamp was putting out like X.
>>117809938
right here, a year later it still makes me so mad to even give a single thought to that final scene

so much wasted potential utterly fucked by powerleveling and trying to fit into shounen at all cost.

But went to utterly shit on third, Rook's dead could bee saved all, but
then iremember that is NHK educational.

>>117804343
The potential isn't lost forever but greatly diminished with the introduction of Tusk and Momoka and Ange stopping her cunt act. Eps 1-4 were AOTS material.
>>117807855
>especially when you only have 12 episodes to work with
And that's the damn problem. It would have been really good had they just given it 24 episodes. Instead we get this incredibly stressed mess where there's no time for anything except dashing through the plot.
>>117810199
It truly had lovely characters.
>>117807881
lol secondary
>>117811586
Oh yeah the "puzzles killed my family" show. I watched it expecting maybe some entertaining puzzle solving where they used logic and reason. Instead they solve puzzles using Yu-Gi-Oh styled asspulls. In fact "Yu-Gi-Oh without card games" feels like a good description of it.
>>117803257
Pick like any Aniplex original title regardless of helper studio from the past 3 years or so and it'll probably work for the topic. Seriously I can't count the number of times I've gotten tricked by a decent sounding premise on paper, amazing staff, glitzy visuals and design style and the advertising and hype usually surrounding one of them only for the whole show to pretty much completely fall apart within like a month of it airing.
Considering the thread is already filled with example of Aniplex originals though I kind of rest my case
Too bad they went short on budget.
I still don't get how you fuck up fucking wizard lawyers
>>117815994
It was still enjoyable but it could have done with more episodes for sure.
the first episode was so good but then it turned from decent to absolute shit

It could have easily been a contender for AOTY.... but all we got was retarded moralfagging: the anime.

>>117803920
True, but I wouldn't call Gargantua a bad anime. It just could have been better.
I'd give it a 6/10, maybe boosted to 7/10 during Ledo/Chamber moments because I got a huge kick out of Chamber logically explaining why it agreed with and recommended the genocide of the earth based squid monsters. He was a well written AI in a otherwise mediocre show.
Also, the girls in Gargantua are sex on legs. Shame about the bait and switch with the mecha in space angle.
>>117818708
I still thought it was really good. Actually, it's one of the two anime that I actually bought physical copies of, the other being Trigun.
>>117818858
It had a kid with giant tits flopping around in the first episode, what the hell were you expecting?
>>117818708
The original last exile was fantastic, you crazy. Season 2 fam fam was pretty bad though.
>>117804415
>>117804435
gotta go with these guys, watching the first episode of Cross Ange pretty much tells you what you are watching. The fact he's Sunrise too just further tells me there are going to be a bunch of bullshit twists along the way too.
Honestly, the only direction Cross Ange can go is up. It would be hard to disappoint me from my already low opinion. Maybe if it's a boring trainwreck like S2 of VVV.
>>117819257
It was enjoyable three quarters of the way through, the ending was rushed as fug
>>117819257
At least the teens being involved in saving the world was plausible in last exile, fam was a bunch of children. They also made whosits a cripple randomly.
>>117803535
the only wasted potential is that there is no second season
