What do you know about wasted potential

Wasted potential doesn't exist.

Wasted potential is just your misguided idea that you'd be a good writer.

>>161807748
It had no potential from the get go

Tough competition.

But I would have to give it to Aldnoah due to how they solved the main problem of the show at the end of S1 by killing the autist, but then brought him back and made him even worse.


Re-Creators has just been a slow slide to oblivion

Cool sounding concept doesn't equal potential.

Erased was. Kayos rescue arc was incredible, then it just blew up.

Cool sounding ED doesn't equal potential.

You can call it wasted potential all you want but to them it was a success.

>>161807839
I'll never stop being mad about this. Inaho should've stayed dead or at least be permanently crippled in some way after that instead of becoming an invincible cyborg. I can still buy his survival but make him blind or crippled or something. So that he can't fight anymore and can only offer advice in fights. And for fuck's sake, have the balls to kill off Hime. Her death can actually kick off an interesting plot.

>>161808663
Honestly it was pretty good up until that fucking ending what the fuck

>>161807748
No, it was awesome, they most annoying guy in the series got killed off in the second episode.

>>161808663
Xamd was good. Anything bones does is good.
Except the ending of course. Anything bones does is good except the endings.

>>161808663

I didn't know what the fuck was going on with the plot of the show, but I at least still had an interest in it.

Inaho ruined the show while Slaine did his best to salvage it.

But Slaine was infinitely more entertaining than the others.

>>161807748
That would be Gargantia. It was at least somewhat promising until the halfway point. Aldnoah was confirmed a dumpster fire by E3.

>>161807810
This, holy shit. I've never seen a single anime go from a 9/10 to a 1/10 so fast.

This is the only one I'm willing to give you, despite how much I love it, if only because the ending wasn't set up enough and the PURE SEX MACHINE of the Earth Engine Impactor didn't do enough. I wonder if the PSP tie-in game helps it though

>>161809092
S2 had some potential but completely wasted it.

The only good thing about IBO is McGillis and Mika & Akihiro's last stand.

>>161810090
G-Reco was shit dude.
The pacing was atrocious (though did anyone ever expect GOOD 2cour from fucking Tomino?).
>>161810114
MS designs were also nice.
But that's it.

>>161809845
Why did everyone have such a bad reaction to Kotoura-san? I only watched the first episode back when it aired, and all I remember is hate threads afterwards.

>>161810190

Argevollen was way more of a military drama than those shows, and aside from a few pacing issues it was pretty competent. It's just that the art direction and production values were "meh", and mecha military dramas are defiantly not "in" right now.

>>161814036
Nah, he had way too much plot armor and way too little emotion for a show that was going for all that politicking. Also his Saturday morning cartoon way of killing the big bads got very old very fast.

The thing that is most infuriating is that they had the creative license to do whatever original ending they wanted, and instead of giving viewers something they never seem to be able to get (a reasonable romance ending with MC pairing up with fucking ANYONE), they went full "hahaha it was sci-fi all along!!!!".

Seriously, fuck them 1000 times over for that bullshit. That trainwreck is probably the most accurate WEG that has ever been made.

G Reco is peculiar and it either clicks with you or it doesn't. It doesn't squander any potential or fuck it up along the way.

It's the A game in animation and music from start to finish. The episodes are either enjoyable throughout or you can't stand it from the start.

It's divisive, but not "wasted potential".
