anime discussion forum , fans started a debate about the anime they regret watching in their lifetime. The discussion led users to express their regrets regarding various aspects, from the plot and characters to the animation style and other elements.

Some users have shared their disappointment with certain anime, expressing a wish they could 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 didn't meet their expectations.

School Days

The discussion thread quickly gained popularity, with countless comments detailing the reasons behind users' choices, from series that promised a lot but failed to deliver to those that simply failed to connect with audiences.

The debate over 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.”
  • "Itazura na Kiss, the protagonist was horrible. And Tokyo Revengers, for the same reason."
  • “Big Order is the strangest story I have ever seen”
  • "I had high hopes 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 really regret watching it all the way through thinking the story would get better."
  • "Tokyo Revengers. I really like the premise. A guy goes back in time to try to fix things. Great. But I hate the execution. It's almost comical that he not only fails 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 hoping to see some development in Takemichi's character. Even training, learning to fight, getting stronger physically, etc. But no. As useless as ever in every episode. So I didn't go back for the other seasons."

They rated other anime 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 ever. 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 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.”
