The discussion topic quickly gained popularity, with numerous comments detailing the reasons behind users' choices. These ranged from series that promised much but failed to live up to expectations to those that simply failed to connect with the audience.
The debate about disappointing anime has generated opinions.
- "Somehow, I managed to watch 100 episodes of Boruto thinking it would surely get better at some point. I don't know why the hell I did that. I was a huge Naruto fan at the time, but still. What a waste of time.".
- "School Days, without a doubt.".
- "In Itazura na Kiss, the protagonist was awful. And in Tokyo Revengers, for the same reason.".
- "Big Order is the strangest story I've ever watched."
- "I had high expectations for Big Order because it was written by the same author as Mirai Nikki, which I really enjoyed. But no, it was the worst anime I've ever finished watching, and I truly regret watching it to the end thinking the story would improve.".
- "Tokyo Revengers. I really like the premise. A guy goes back in time to try and fix things. Great. But I hate the execution. It's almost comical that he not only fails every time he goes back, to a greater or lesser extent than the next time, but also always ends up getting beaten up. I forced myself to watch at least the first season hoping to see some development in Takemichi's character. Even training, learning to fight, getting physically stronger, etc. But no. As useless as ever in every episode. So I didn't go back for the other seasons.".
They mentioned other anime that they would have watched.
- "11 Eyes. Plot and characters. Don't watch it.".
- "Scum's Wish, not because it's a bad story, but because it made me feel bad.".
- "Platinum End because it has my vote for the worst ending in history. I thought it was good until the end, but the ending was so awful that it ruined everything.".
- “Kanojo, Okarishimasu, both the manga and the anime.”.
- "Redo of Healer. I like it, but I hate it at the same time.".
- "I saw Cyberpunk: Edgerunners when it came out and loved it, but I wish I had done it after playing the game when the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty were released.".
- "Akame ga Kill, what a terrible ending.".
- "Darling in the FranXX, I have no doubt.".
