I was expecting spy intrigue and I got "[pic]: the anime" instead.

These are the reasons why I never commit myself on any series of the upcoming seasons until I have seen at least one episode of each. Most of the stuff I feel is worth looking forward to is actually shit when I watch it and other series that looked generic or stupid are turn out to be enjoyable.

It was the magic superpower stuff that killed it for me. Since all of them were immune to radioactivity and fought each other with some ESP powers it could as well have taken place in some normal city or something. The setting became less and less relevant.

Contrary to most of /a/ I loved the first episode which is why I had higher expectation for this one but the conclusions just got more stupid as the series progressed and there wasn't any big payoff. I liked a few scenes from the last episode again but everything else was pretty shit or boring, especially the big main mystery was retarded.

>>147211219

The solution is also stupid as hell. It was literally the first thing people guessed when they saw that poster and I think that all of those afterlife lookalikes or dream worlds and similar stuff were done often enough and they don't surprise anybody anymore.

The first chapters were so fun to read. Fuck, this moment made me think that they would switch the MC to Armin and how he would need to adapt or die.
Then everyone was titans.

Kiznaiver

>>147218506
>Rolling Girls
I totally forgot about that one. I am not sure if I am part of the minority or majority here since the threads were positive till the end but I loved the first two episodes so fucking much and then it switched the characters and aim and everything and I just waited for stuff that never happened and got more bored with every episode. It still had somewhat of its charme but it was a huge disappointment.

>>147213636
Perfect example of an excellent premise bogged down by shitty writing.

Probably one of the few anime out there which would benefit from a live-action Netflix adaptation.

>>147218697
What happened? Was it one of these stand-still issues where the plot barely moves forward after some point?

>>147218681
The concept was neat but the main girls just weren't interesting enough to carry the show. It's a shame because it had a ton of potential and the first couple of episodes were great but it just sort of fizzled out.

>>147218220
The first season of the anime and all the chapters before levi showed up were just fun as fuck to read.

Then they introduced the shitty scout corps, which just ruined the story. Taking the focus away from the core group of characters defending the wall from titans was a mistake.

DOGS
Gangsta
Bungou Stray Dogs

Pretty much any manga about rooty tooty point and shooty gangs I guess.

>>147211219
Apparently the manga adaptation is pretty good.

Gargantia had so much potential. What a fucking let down

>>147218220
At first, I thought it would be like The Walking Dead where anyone can die.

Then I realized it was like The Walking Dead where anyone can die but the most popular characters.

>>147218848
>Taking the focus away from the core group of characters defending the wall from titans was a mistake.
This is a problem with almost every longer series I read. They switch the focus or even change the whole setting or story or get so many new characters that old ones don't get enough screentime anymroe and it's more about tons of characters interacting than the actual fight against whatever they were fighting in the beginning.

>>147218744
The JSDF decimates the whole new country. I know you can get into heated discussions about nationalism in GATE, but you can't give me a premise of "modern military vs. medieval military", have one side steamroll the other, and expect there to still be conflict.

Also, Itami is the dullest main character in the series and he gets a whole harem because reasons.

>>147218911
If you look at it as a metaphor for growing up and getting a job, it gets a little bit better.

Emphasis on little. I thought it was pretty good, though.

it was a meme, friend. see pic.

Macross Zero:
Boring story about aliens, which may contradict the previous shows
Roy Fokker is more of a image to attract old fans and not a real character
Many characters are undeveloped (the russian's winggirl, for example)
Bad music
Almost no fighting sequences, none of the existing are interesting.

Area 88 tv series:
Badly drawn planes
Shitty redesign of characters
Awful music
Boring storytelling

>>147211395
The manga is better

>>147227022
Brotherhood was by far superior in juxtaposition to FMA 2003. There's virtually no competition.

It was rapidly paced in the introduction, but that was due to the presumption that most viewers had seen 2003 prior to the instigation of FMA brotherhood. I'm not contrite in my disposition, so I have no qualm with being invective towards the first, original series. It was inferior in every way imaginable aside from the sole characteristic of pathos.

>>147227022
Ishbal was the paragon of sectarian violence.
