Shows that started off great with lots of promise and then went to shit. Pic related.
>>134134810
You kidding? I enjoyed it a lot. It made me read the LN, which is more than Overlord can say.
>>134134810
>Rokka no sales
>>134134810
>>134134810
No it didn't. Fuck off. If it went down that generic path then it would have been boring. Also nips tastes were just shit.

Wow, what a perfect example. Put Angel Beats there as well.
>>134136116
I never seen anime as rushed as this one. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>134134810
Are you kidding? Rokka was great. It's basically "Everyone is horrible apart from the protagonist: The anime"
>>134136702
They wanted to compete with Grisaia for the most butchered adaptation. Though it got me to read the light novels, I'll give them that.
>>134136116
What telenovella?

MC carried the shitty adaption.
>>134134810
I'm still hurt.
>>134136230
M3 was great. But I'm sure you didn't even watch it.
>>134135325
This.
>>134134810
Oh look, another faggot butthurt he didn't get SAO clone #7357.
>>134137558
I mean it's ok, but the animation is nothing special, and the series gets bogged down in the whodunnit stuff for ages. It's nowhere near as long in the LNs
>>134136573
Nah. Angel Beats! was consistent in quality. I was unimpressed with the last episode, but that's it.
>>134134810
rokka started slow as fuck and I almost dropped it, but after they get to the temple and Fremy became dere the show got pretty good.
Too bad it flopped.
>>134134810
I'll never understand why people liked rokka so much.
It took 5 episodes for the show to really get started and then it had 2-3 super solid episodes and then it just went back downhill again.
>>134134810
>>134136953
Cat did nothing wrong.
>>134134810
>he didn't like the strongest bait in the world
>>134137740
Wow, what a perfect example. Literally hipster normalfag bait. Also pic related, only the first two episodes were good.
The only thing I hated about Rokka were the fact the bunny got away and another seventh saint showed up.
>>134135325
No, RNY was garbage and deserved all the nosales it got, not my problem your hipster ass can't deal with it.
>>134135704
>aldnoah zero
this one for me. even the first season was kinda shit. the second season just said fuck it and went balls deep into the turd.
>>134135581
No, a closed room mystery for 12 goddamned does not make a good show, hell the fucking book spoils you in the bloody prologue, the next 3 volumes that I read weren't much better. The fig was a master asspuller and I have no idea why you idiots praise the guy as some revolutionary villain.
>>134138754
What was so bad about it? I've never seen a point besides "slow pacing" and "bad animation".
Gargantia
>>134138937
It starts off like "Alright, off to kick the elder god's ass and get some shit going" and then gets stuck in a shitty back and forth mystery subplot in the exact same bland location for like 8 episodes, and then it's over.
>>134136957
>They wanted to compete with Grisaia for the most butchered adaptation.
I thought P4GA won that title long time ago
>>134138937
It's a closed room mystery where nothing happens for like 8~9 episodes and then it ends, how fun.
>>134138347
But Bunny is still important in the later novels, and Rolonia is the best character anyway.
>>134138835
>hell the fucking book spoils you in the bloody prologue
It didn't really. It just spoiled you that Nashetania tried to kill Adlet, but that could have several reasons, e.g. her honestly believing that Adlet is the 7th.
Also how is being a closed mystery a bad thing in itself? The show was good because it had an interesting plot with a solution that made sense and could (for the most part) actually be deduced from what was shown.
>>134139582
The show bored me to tears and I watched snoozefests like Argevollen and M3 and actually liked them once they were done.
>the solution could be deducted
My ass it could, every single mystery solution was a bloody asspull so far.
>>134139854
>My ass it could, every single mystery solution was a bloody asspull so far.
Now I see your problem, if you don't pay attention, stories like this might appear boring.

Rokka No Yuusha > Overlord
>>134139960
This.
>>134139038
>Bland
Backgrounds were still beautiful.
> mystery subplot
the mystery is the most crucial point in the series.
>>134139161
> nothing happens
they always say this but do not exactly prove it since it clearly shows that they are doing something and that is to find the fake.
>>134137558
>terribly paced Christie ripoff
It's not much better
>>134134810
Yeah would have been SO MUCH BETTER if it had been another generic as fuck let's kill the demon lord story.
>>134134810
For me its the other way around
It started like a generic anime, like a boy is gonna defeat the evil guys
But when they got to the temple, it became the greatest anime that season, maybe even of the year
>>134134810
The fat cow-pig killed it.
You could hear the thousands of preorders being cancelled the second that fat cow appeared at the end of the last episode.
>>134134936
I used to fucking love this show.
>>134139038
It's funny - I had the complete opposite reaction. I couldn't care less about the typical fellowship fantasy plot, and nearly dropped it at the beginning; it was the rest of the season that made me invest in the characters and actually give a damn about the larger story.
First show to make me actually pick up an LN.
>>134134810
Why did Rokka no Yuusha do badly sales-wise?
>>134139026
Season 2 when?
>>134139038
>>134140122
>>134145166
I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of meme or what. Were people really disappointed it was a mystery show rather than an adventure? I keep feeling like anyone who posts this must be doing so facetiously. I mean, it's not like the show wasn't explicitly billed as a mystery. Anyone going in to it would have known.
99% of popular mangos.
Name one that didn't go to shit or didn't end like shit.
>>134145310
LN pandering
>>134145563
Elaborate please
>>134145635
Basically full of self-insert harem pandering cliches. And also bad animation, but that was Passione's fault.
>>134145684
>harem
Excuse me for possibly being retarded, but who got a harem? MC only has one person who likes him as of now.
>>134145502
I went in relatively blind; I had just heard the first episode was pretty neat, so I picked it up on a whim. I actually had no clue about the mystery aspect until it came into play.
![[HorribleSubs] Gakkou Gurashi! - 12 [720p].mkv_snapshot_15.35_[2015.09.25_05.19.39].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/rMBqV2n.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Gakkou Gurashi! - 12 [720p].mkv_snapshot_15.35_[2015.09.25_05.19.39].jpg")
The anime original episode 3 got my hopes up that Lerche may add some pretty neat stuff to the anime that further fleshes out characters like Megu-nee and elaborates more events that the manga left unexplained.
Instead I got this shit.
>>134146493
They were doing so good too. I'm surprised I didn't drop it.
>>134135558
This scene is cringeworthy as fuck, even 5 months later.
>>134134810
I didn't hate it because it was a mystery instead of an adventure.
I hated it because it was a shitty mystery, and the final episode with the OTHER extra hero showing up made is even more shit. Fuck this show, and fuck this series.
>>134146798
I didn't watch this show. Why did everyone hate this dog again?
>>134134810
FUCKING GLASSLIP
>>134137740
Yeah I loved the first episode. I dropped after guy on the right visited some weird zombie town, but i mean the show was an advertisement for a mobile game
>>134147071
But wasn't that show never good? People only had high hopes because of Nagi no Asukara
>>134137740
Yeah I agree. Animation was really good at least.
>>134147042
They kept the dog alive until the last few episodes. IIRC the dog was already dead in the manga. Typical "anime rewrites the manga" bullshit.
ITT: Anons have shit taste.
Stay gay, faggots.

Bleach ended after Soul Society.
One Piece ended after Buggy arc.
Naruto ended after Chuuni Exam.

Yes, it could've been much better as a generic overdone "kill the demon king" adventure with an extremely superficial Aztec paintcoat

>>134137740
ITT: Shit taste
>>134134810
The world design for this was great, it's not something you see too often. Look at that magnificent motherfucker too, his design was nice.
The whole whodunit plot was ok but the fiends were atrocious. I would have preferred the action to take place in that neat city instead of some stupid forest, but I guess it was important to the plot.
>>134145925
You won the thread.
>>134134810
You mean
>shows that started generic as fuck then turned interesting
>>134135558
Ok what is this and why do I suddenly want to want it?
>>134153029
I think this is Charlotte, I drop it like in chap 4 or 5, some anons say that was good near the end or shit like that, dunno
>>134151985
How did RnY start off generic? How often do we even have anime that give off a particularly pre-European/per-Colonial era Mayan/Aztec theme as a setting or world?
That doesn't come off even remotely generic to me.
>>134134810
you a casual anime shitter
go back to toonami faggit
>>134154576
>no fairy tail
>great premise and potential
>great build-up till episode 6
>bitch should have stayed dead
>the last 3 episodes
>>134147311
I was under the impression that One Piece had never stopped being good. But even if it has, stopping it at Buggy is ridiculously early. Buggy wasn't exactly the sort of ultimate villain you use to cap a series.
Stopping at Alabasta maybe. Or Water 7. But Buggy?
>>134159797
Oh wow, good to see Kagami got into another anime after Lucky Star ended.
>>134135168
>started off great
It was shit the moment they told you she was a Giftia. It only got worse from there.
>>134160366
lol no
>>134160385
Yes. You could already tell how it's going to end from there and you just knew it was going to be some bullshit drama around muh dead android.
Also it took him like 8 episodes to figure out she has only 1 month left. I mean how retarded do you have to be to come work at a giftia retrial company and not ask about their remaining time the first minute you meet. Also he knew she was with the company for at least 6 years already so that should raise suspicion by itself.
>>134134810
Like, 90% of all anime. But Japan can't into story telling. Especially anime.
>>134160467
>You could already tell how it's going to end from there
Yes but the journey is more important considering it is 98% of the show length. If I wanted to watch anime for the endings I would read spoilers.

That last episode
>this show is really good guys, really
No, it's shit and no amount of hipster tears is going to change that.
>>134160518
Granted. By even everything in between was shit. Isla was so fucking boring I don't even know what MC retard saw in her. Only time she did something useful was off screen or with other characters talking over it while she was doing stuff in the background.
Michiru was 10 times more fun than her.
