Claymore. Dissapointing overhyped ending that achieved nothing. Whiny bitch ass side character (raki).
Wierd incestual mother and son emulating relationship. Drawn out and obnoxious and still an OVA basically

>>31035Serial Experiments Lain
I feel like I watched a shit anime that tried to be 2deep4u, but I have to pretend that I like it, because if I don't, weebs will jump to say that I got filtered because I'm too stupid to get it. But honestly it sucked, I had to force myself to watch it. The only good thing it had was the opening.

>>40278Texhnolyze is just my kind of anime. Storywise I am really into the agonizing and slowly paced first half and, as things get going, the increasing body horror to the end. Visually it's impressive as well, through the backgrounds the underground city really comes to life with all it's facets: Dark, grey, dirty, rusty, drab and mysterious, but never in itself lifeless. The music is good too, especially the opening always gets me hyped and the ending theme leaves me thoughtful. And, as I said, the German dub did it for me, but I guess most are not concerned with that.
>>40285>>40287Serial Experiments Lain is a similar experience to me. I guess if you want to you can think really hard about all the dialogue and themes, and that's a nice thing, but you don't have to to enjoy the anime. It also builds a somber and chill atmosphere with enough weirdness that it's intriguing and that just really speaks to me.
>>31035The most disappointing anime I have watched was Tokyo ghoul. One of the biggest problems for me is that the change of character of the main character at the end was way too abrupt.

this might not really count but when i tried to watch neon genesis evangelion i only made it like 2 episodes in because shinji is such an insufferable pussy faggot. maybe the show really is the masterpiece people always say it is but im not willing to endure such a cringe inducing main character in order to find out.

Well you seen the results.
At least it was a interesting failure though. Due to over ambition rather than creative bankruptcy or being a cheap cash grab.

I swear the anime was just a really expensive ad for the manga.
Because it didn't even try to have a complete story arc at all.
No.43042
>>43041Most anime aim to be adaptations.
A complete story in a new medium.
Claymore was not a complete story.
It was just a introduction of the world and characters.

> the anime is made by jap studios.
The source material doesn't matter.
What matters is that the animation was primarily made by a Japanese studio.
There have been anime adaptations of all kinds of things not of Japanise origin.
Ann of Green Gables comes to mind.
Or the anime version of The Borrowers, Arrietty.

>>43095Why do you say that?
I really liked watching it, though that was some 13 years ago, and I enjoyed a lot more back then. I'll have to rewatch it and see how it aged.
>>43096Yeah I remember the main plot of Steins Gate was unremarkable. But there was something very comfy about the first half of the series. A group of eccentric, socially awkward friends meeting up, each doing their thing - Steins Gate is worth watching just for that.
>>43097The visual novel has a lot more of those, and overall is's a better experience imo. So I recommend playing it, though it might be a bit of a challenge with everyone having the attention span of a mosquito.

And even then I would have given it a pass if the ending wasn't so shit.
Love all the other stuff I have seen from the studio, even if the middle season twist of "aliens!" gets old after you notice the pattern.

>>43601Context: they unironically aired Ghost in the Shell, Elfen Lied, Ergo Proxy, Agent Najica and NGE (aka "EVA") in the 2000s here.
I was so confused what Ergo Proxy and NGE were about I dropped them. Took me a while to learn NGE is a deconstruction of mecha genre, while Ergo Proxy is a deconstruction of cyberpunk genre.

>>43672I watched Ergo Proxy five years ago and I remember commenting that it had some loose ends — I don’t really remember which ones anymore — but that didn’t take away from the good experience of watching the anime. And wow (in a good way), the opening is phenomenal. It always brings me to tears.
