You might know the feeling. You're all into a series and you're loving every episode, but then something happens and you're so damn frusterated that you never want to talk about the series ever again.

There's a plot twist that makes you want to murder everyone. The show ends on a BS cliffhanger. You want two characters to get together so bad, but then they hook up with other characters. That type of crap.

It'll be nice to know why said show pisses you off so much, so I'm gonna go ahead and say this now. !!Possible Spoilers!!
Don't complain later if a show got spoiled for you.

---------

For me, I'm going to have to go ahead and say MM!.
I don't remember how I found the show, but I had nothing else to watch so I gave it a shot. I got pretty into it. MM! was first a light novel. The author died before he could finish the story though. When it was picked up to become an anime, it was adapted as is. No ending or anything. The anime just ends abruptly. I had no knowledge about this.

At first, I thought I was missing the other half of the show. I went searching for the next bunch of episodes. Then I made the sad discovery that there were none. I still feel like kicking a puppy each time someone brings it up.

What i'm still confused about is how cal matured from looking like 7 to 20, and why zwei and ein went to highschool near the end.

I watched the first episode of Devil Survivor 2 and was disgusted, mainly because it was an adaptation of the manga's events (which is pretty awful)

On a milder note, the 13 episode premise wasn't very nice at all but by then my impression of the show was abyssmal anyway.

There would be so much more had they chose to go canon to one of the game's endings (From the death preventing, bossfighting & eventual face-off with what is basically the equivalent of God)

Wasted effort.

Like OP said; !!Possible Spoilers!!, so give my post a pass if you're sensitive to that. (or completely disregard since it's tl;dr after all 8D)

Same sentiments. It wasn't necessarily annoying but it just went downhill after the first plot twist but managed to bring it back up again in Cal's arc.

I agree that the transitions leading to the new 'parts' were somewhat confusing and forced in a sense that viewers would have to live with the drastic changes just because. They went to highschool simply because they wanted to experience and lead 'normal' lives, which would otherwise be impossible if they were to continue in their line of profession. That in itself, again, was blatantly redundant as they still had the knowledge, tact, will and means to become assassins, as if they were willing to drop their comfortable lifestyle that they yearned for to correct history. It would make more sense if they decided to drop everything about their pasts and move on to a blank new page, but that would spell the end of the anime, and a cheesy one at that.

As for Cal's abrupt return as a voluptuous, cleavage-showcasing, breasts-a'flingin' bike rider, when she was just an innocent loli a mere few episodes ago, I'll just leave it up to not question anime physics for that. I can only see it as pulling off a fanservice stunt. It did please me to a certain extent after all, to see my lil Cal grow up looking like that (if I were to completely ignore logic).
All in all, still a decent anime and I liked the ending despite the bad rep it got for being too open to viewers' interpretation.

---------------------

That aside, the only title that managed to leave me with resent was School Rumble, which I recently decided to pick up again after years of being in stall. Overall, it was a great anime with bountiful comedy and cuteness. The only thing I'd complain about in the main 2-season series was the repetitiveness and constant misunderstandings among the cast, which were the driving force of the non-existent plot in the first place. However, what annoyed me was the fact that they decided to make a 'third season' comprising of only the two final episodes to cover for the manga. The first ep contained flashbacks of events that...din't happen. I guess I could just take it as little snippets from the manga in anime form if they were ever to produce a full season for it. But that was still ridiculous. That, paired with Karasuma still being on the fence about everything and his sudden illness, just..ugh. I did however feel elated and burst out in joy when Kenji socked him a good one.

Another title would be Infinite Stratos 2 but I'm not even going to go there

Drugs

I think the timeskip was uh, 2 years as well. Her actual age is also never outrightly stated in both the game and animated adaptation but in return largely assumed by the community to be between 12 to 14.

If you went by that, she'd be 16 at most. (which is actually kind of believable !)

Requiem for the Phantom still left me with deep impressions due to it's pretty high quality productions despite Reiji getting 1-up'd in the end & Ein unnoticably consuming an Oxytropis leaf in suicide. (the poisonous kind)

any jc staff anime for having the same male mc every time

Farking Nisemonogatari
Rest of the series is decent, but that season's just enraging. I don't even wanna go into detail, otherwise I'd end up writing a 10 page rant or something.

White Album 2. It may be because I set my expectations too high, but I found it very disappointing. The MC really pissed me off, and the ending left on a bad note for all of the characters.

Accel World. I thought that maybe the main Char will stop being a Crybaby and finally grow up.... Well nope!

yes this so much, its started off as such an amazing anime, and then it took a school days turn.

Nerawareta Gakuen. Wtf was that.
Little Busters! ~Refrain~ I know this is supernatural but the ending feels forced happy end.
Oreimo S2. The plot twist is horrible.
Maken-ki! The manga was okay but anime screwed it up so bad.
Amagami SS Rihoko Sakurai's ending.
Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka, White Album 2, and School Days. Though W.A.2 is just the introductory chapter of the VN so can't really expect anything
Noucome and Haganai S2.

Pretty much every anime that ends up in a huge cliffanger without letting any hope for a S2. That's for the annoying part, I never been angry with any anime... maybe a bit with Another. This just ended up in a huge bloodbath and everyone started acting irrationally literally went berserk. That was too much, way too much.l

^ dem sudden plot twist

Accel World protagonist was too whiny, made it irritating. Dude, give yourself some value, you have an ultra fast brain, probably the best ability in the game, and is with "the girl". Less sir. Or i will NTR you ._.
Emiya Shirou from FSN. Maybe i will watch the anime, but from the VN all his "but this is bad! We're the good guys, the heroes!", "well done for her, maybe she will act like a proper girl now"(what.jpg), "Come on Saber, you're a girl, i will defend you!!!!"...
For the same reasons, Ikari Shinji(Evangelion) made me quite annoyed...
Shigeki no Kyojin is one thing I'm not sure if i will continue watching. Too many screams, despair, we're dammed, Titans are all-mighty, kill that guy he's saving us, more screaming because we're dammed... Dude, for god's sake stop screaming and do something!

And I'm simply not fit for watching ecchi/harem stuff. Too many 'accidents', terrible protagonists, and my suspension of disbelief gets hurt when i see little girls who are in truth monsters all mighty(date a live, looking at ya).

White Album 1 was a big piss-off, I'm never gonna start White Album 2 because of it.

They have different characters though but okay

nichijou (a bit) its just............... WTF why are thereflying cats (oh nvm thats azumanga DX)

If it was Nichijou, I could easily say that flying cats are not the weirdest thing. Azumanga on the other hand, I have no answer. And that's my favorite series ._.

I dropped da capo for a reason

Surprised no one brought this one up, but School Days pissed me off to the point where I had to take breaks between every two episodes. The MC is a selfish, horny teen(which I guess really sums up actual high school guys) and the two girls surrounding him are just as stupid as himself. 10/10 would punch wall again.

nobody mentions school days because

You're all into a series and you're loving every episode

High School DxD, but I will give it a try again for the comedy.

On a more recent note, the ending for Kyoukai no Kanata left a really bitter taste in my mouth. It was so, SO VERY incredibly forced that I felt like the enjoyment I got from other episodes was ripped right out of me.

Oh yeah right, this one. I forgot to add
One of the reasons why I'm disappointed in Fall 2013.

Recently? Sword Art Online.
It was such a great concept, started brilliantly and i was loving it. Great sound/music and art - but then after episode 3 we get the story.
The fact they skipped 90% of the levels and then suddenly changed games just pissed me off and i hated kirito's new avatar.
The last few episodes was the only reconciliation for whatever smoldering bit of story was left.

oreimo tbh, i don't think they should have gone with the incest ending. also the second half of sword art online wasn't good, they could have easily ended the anime after they got out of sao and not have all that stuff with asuna getting kidnapped.

have to agree. the main plot line after episode 3 was that kirito gets all the ladies and eventually finds the love of his life who he protects with his life. (which, of course, isn't the actual concept of it.)

second season of it was just fanservice everywhere with needed incest.

I never watched SOA, but here's my knowledge of it.

Apparently the first episode or two were the greatest thing to mankind because people would not shut up about it when they came out. Then I never heard of it again after that...
And now all I hear is people saying "Meh, it was okay..."

Also something about sandwiches

Aku No Hana.

Anyone who didn't give up after the first two episodes were treated to a few phenomenal episodes in the middle and then the worst last episode of all time. I mean, I know it's a sequel hook, but still

you're right about the sandwiches.

there's at least 2 parts i can remember where they eat sandwiches together for at least 5 minutes.

School Days - I instantly hated it after the first episode and dropped it.
Noucome - TOO FREAKIN' SHORT.
Aku no Hana - Shit animation.
Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece - They never end.

Every anime with the "we'll leave you with an awesome teaser and/or cliffhanger of what we'll never show, because this season is over, so go and read the source material" ending. Also these shows usually don't have a second season

Zetman- If only I could get back my lost time.... I still don't know why I watched it, glad the sales went horribly just like trash deserves

Sora no Otoshimono.
At one point I just had to quit this Anime due to this completely retarded main character.
Also, I don't like extremely oversized boobs, and this Anime seems to be all about that.

School days, Guilty crown and Deadman wonderland.
Guilty Crown and Deadman wonderland were like so awesome, just those endings.
And School Days is just.. Someone please, kill me.

I have to admit, I didn't even hate School days. This ending actually made me cry. Not because Makoto died, but because he promised Setsuna to protect Sekai.

Call me weird, but I actually thought it was really sad.

Aside from School Days;
Aquarion Evol - too much NTR

Others would be Mayo Chiki - no development, no ending, no nothing and Gin no Saji - the world's stupidest and most irritating protagonist


PS @OP : You do NOT kick a puppy. Ever.

nagi no asukara because of miuna's annoying obsession of hikari, and henneko because of azusa and the horrible ending.
sao too, i was expecting something like attack on titan, but instead it was just kirito's harem. plus, if i where any of the characters, i would never touch nervgear again after what happened.

sakura trick , the hype is just to damn high

Nagi no Asukara is NTR no Asukara after all.

and yes, Sao is shit.

School Days - I hated everyone with my soul, only felt a little sorry for Kotonoha, but she and everyone were stupid and/or a douche/whore. The ending was awesome and the only good thing about it. That was a nice boat.

SAO - Expected badass MMO anime,whe have the first half aaaaaand it's a shitty harem! Kirito is OP just because, forced incest and Asuna who had potential became completely useless. Hope they make something definitely NOT like the second half on the 2nd season.

Gantz - The protagonist was a piece of shit, and worst ending ever. I get it, there wasn't source material but they could have made it better that that.

I have high expectations for the 2nd season, but i am pretty sure i will get disappointed

goshuushou sama ninomiya kun - it has no story.Only fan service and moe moe shit

I don't know if it's fair to list Endless Eight here or not.

Anyway, after some further thinking, Upotte's anime annoyed me quite a bit because it wasn't too faithful to the source material, and instead opted for too much fanservice. I still found it enjoyable, somewhat, because they were accurate with the guns.

The only thing that actually annoys me about SAO is how much of a Gary Stu Kirito is. The harem stuff just comes with that. Seriously, why make someone so obviously perfect. Why.
