Some users have shared their experiences of disappointment with certain animes, expressing the desire to be able to rewind time to avoid wasting their time watching them. The reasons behind these regrets are diverse, including poorly developed plots, unattractive characters or simply an animation style that did not meet expectations.
The discussion thread quickly gained popularity, with numerous comments detailing the reasons behind users' choices. From series that promised a lot but failed to meet 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 that it would definitely 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.”
- “Itazura na Kiss, the protagonist was horrible. And Tokyo Revengers, for the same reason.”
- “Big Order is the strangest story I’ve ever seen”
- “I had a lot of expectations for Big Order because it was written by the same author as Mirai Nikki, which I really liked. But no, it was the worst anime I've ever finished watching, and I really regret watching it until the end thinking the story would get better.”
- “Tokyo Revengers. I really like the premise. A guy goes back in time to try to fix things. Excellent. But I hate the execution. It's almost comical that not only does he fail every time he comes back to a greater or lesser extent than the next time, but he also always ends up getting beaten up. I forced myself to watch at least the first season in hopes of seeing some development in Takemichi's character. Even training, learning to fight, becoming physically stronger, etc. But no. As useless as ever in every episode. So I didn’t come back for the other seasons.”
They scored other animes that they would have watched.
- “11 Eyes. Plot and characters. Don’t watch.”
- “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 horrible 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 after playing the game when update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty came out.”
- “Akame ga Kill, what a terrible ending.”
- “Darling in the FranXX, I have no doubt.”
