The series that was the biggest letdown/disappointment?

The biggest let down for me was the cancellation of the 3rd season of school rumble, my favorite anime and it gets scraped on a cliffhanger and to this day it bugs me.... not sure if that counts though as its not so much the series as its untimely demise

I will second all the death note mentions, it lost most of its apeal when L died and he was the only one I could accept taking down kira, the two kids who replaced L were rather insulting and we never learned his real name. If kira killed the 2 kids and re-created the world as its deity of sorts it would have been better, though still not a good end to the series.

As to the basilisk mentions, I have to disagree, I loved the tragic nature of the series and wish more anime did ballsey things like that, to me it was like a japanese romeo and juliet only a hell of a lot more kick ass, but it is a matter of opinion.

Ai Yori Aioshi, the entire 1st season I was waiting for everyone to discover the relationship between the two main characters, and I was soo pissed when it ended and everyone was still oblivious. It was like epic blue balls, and the disappointment was so great that I refuse to watch the second season for fear of more disappointment...

Eureka 7, such an awesome series with such a panzycore ending, no real resolution, left me feeling empty.

Air Gear, I loved the whole roller blade street gangs with their own culture but they started going downhill when they got religious, and I hated the cage fight episodes. A cage fight completely defeats the purpose and awesomeness of all the cool air blade stuff, even if it did have some deep point, it still sucked. The fighting was so much cooler when they were in motion, the wannabe DBZ martial arts bs is something I personally loath. Needed more blading and less drama and story.

As to all the vampire knight mentions, I too have trouble getting into the series. The whole teeny bopper craze for troubled vampires who are good at heart and don't want to bite people is just a bunch of homosexual carebear bs that defeats the purpose of vampires. A good vampire in my book, even if troubled as such, should be a bit more psycotic and have more mental scars, like the laura k hamilton books until they turned into cheesy porn around book 4 or so. Those were vampires, they had issues, they were inherently evil as a vampire should be, the whole ann rice gay vampires experimenting with their sexuality, the Twilight vampires who are immune to sunlight but avoid it because it makes them look too pretty, and all other impotent friendly vampire media is more than a little disappointing to me, they might as well chop their balls off when they remove the teeth.

Black Cat, it started out strong until episode 4 or 5 when black cat stops being the tormented cold blooded killer and throws away his trench coat and turns into a total goober. Series went downhill after that, very disappointing after such a strong start.

Peacemaker, it starts out with the whole "joining the shinsengumi will turn you into a demon" giving me high expectations for a good action series and the main character doesn't even get a sword until the second to last episode and only does one short fight lasting only a few seconds. 3 episodes in and I had already chosen a song to turn it into a music video when I finished watching, would have been awesome too if it actually had some action in it...

And I think I'll end my little rant their before I piss off everyone off lol

I was really dissappointed with the ending of Witch Hunter Robin.

Black Blood Brothers, enjoyed the first season, but the ending seemed to leave it quite open and with alot of space for further episodes, but as far as I can find out theres no intention or interest in doing a second season, which kind of makes the first season largely obsolete and not much more than a time filler

Bleach, every promise of a good story with the current characters and some actual plot development always led to "MOR3 CHARACTERZ!!!!1!!one" and a right-angle turn into something new. *sigh* I've barely any hope left for Bleach.

Otherwise,most anime disappoint me because the art looks uber-awesome and the story turns out to be bad.

Bleach has taken this title by FFFAAARRR. Most unnecessarily drawn out anime. No Competition on this 1. During the orihime kidnapping arc, i believe the anime could have finished around that time. ( Even that part of the anime was drawn out.....a lot!!! ) In its first 60 episode, bleach was the shit; now it is just plain shit!!!!

Hmm, i have two. Kaiji after I watched akagi. It just wasn't the same, it fulfilled the feel for gambling that i liked

but the main character just didn't compare. I like akagi's archetype and there isn't many other characters in that vein. Maybe Toua from One outs fits.

I'm still sad veritas is no more.

For me it's Ah my Goddess, for once I can finally agree with those hardcore sub fans the dub was a joke I couldn't continue watching the show after the first episode the voice acting was just too horrible. But I guess I'll eventually watch it but not any time soon but only for the fan service.

You realize that you could just watch it in sub and then all will be well with the world, its a good series with the japanese voices
