The most offensive thing I've ever watched, but damn did the first episode sent a overboding tension of horror. Then it was just downhill.

that's a good choice. First episode made me excited for the second coming of Darker than Black

Mekakucity Actors.
It got my hopes up.
Now I know Shaft is just a meme studio.

Aldnoah Zero

More 'average' than 'bad' but Kotoura-san. The first episode was leagues ahead of the rest.

Also I thought Campione! too.

It was so edgy and grimdark it turned made me cut myself. Then it turned into fujoshit.

How can you top this intro?

>>146527539
Yes, the mystery part was meh but the atmosphere and the case itself (school girls prostituting themselves) were pretty promising.

So you're telling me you've never seen it?

>>146527223
I'm a fujo and this show went way too gay. Nothing is worse than whiny melodrama gay, and this was that. The characters were also all boring one-quirk personalities. And something was off with the pacing, I can't say how but it all felt incomplete somehow.

>>146527626
that was beyond retarded

>>146526526
Ghost Hound (Strong first few eps then devolves into some stupid fake science magical alien shit)
Kurokami (like holy shit, it falls off so hard after the beginning its fucking insane)
Kokoro Connect. Dat first arc. But then it devolves into meaningless crappy teen melodrama

I havent really watched any shows that fall offf IMMEDIETALLY after the first ep, all these have strong beginnings in general

>>146531062
That's kinda the opposite. First episode was just okay - not too impressive. Show got a lot better after they reached the temple.

>>146527440
>first episode good

>>146531414
Not really. The setup and setting had potencial, but then they get stuck there for the longest time, the mistery gets solved in a stupid way and the viewer didn't even have the necessary information to figure it out for themselves, and after all of that it ends almost as it started.

>insert very good anime

Yeah this 1 is terrible.

First season was decent, I guess. Second season suddenly turned into fucking Bleach with powerlevel bullshit.

Though the first few episodes were still pretty decent. Started going downhill and once they got to the moon it got bad pretty fast.

First 2 episodes had me hooked, then it all spiraled down, except for this guy, he was pretty cool. and his crossdressing daughter /son?

>>146537284
First episode wasn't good though. It was mediocre at best. And the signs of melodrama were there with the flashbacks

Kabaneri, but the show was just average, not bad. It was definitely downhill from the first episode

The first episode had a really nice summer atmosphere and a god tier ost.

Then it became more dull and stupid with each episode. Ferris wheel and a epilogue were fine though.

>>146535532
It was like, a different show every two episodes.

>>146531850
Second this. I can rewatch and enjoy that first episode plenty but the rest of the show was the most whatever thing ever. Nice art at least.

>>146531062

To be fair, the light novel is shit.
It has no hope to get better.

>>146537905
agreed. Kabaneri had so much potential

1st episode was pretty chill. Focus on two characters, cameo of all the future idols and a small tease at the end of the episode for the last remaining new generations member.
2nd episode shoves all the girls down our throats. Weak drama and weak humor, it really didn't have an identity. Producer was good though.

>>146532211
100% this

>>146541889
Going blind into cg, I agree.

The interactions between Rin, Uzuki and Producer were great and the characters themselves felt natural.

Then the next episode those interactions were gone, the focus changed into a cameofest and the sixteen or so girls introduced were gimmicky as fuck or just usual anime archetypes. I didn't hate it that much and kept watching, but I still was disappointed that it was a complete different show compared to what the first episode was offering.

This.

>>146526526
The first episode wasn't anything special but it obviously didn't prepare anyone for what type of piece of shit this was going to be. Easily one of the worst shows in years.

>>146547221
But it was good.

>>146548472
does it actually get better.. all i see is inconsistent art and contrived story.

>>146537811
They got so much mileage out of that orphanage flashback it was honestly absurd.
