Disappointment with Anime

Some anime could be disappointing.  Are you ever been let down by certain anime?  How shocking was the disappointment?
 


I'm picking anime which had very good initial episodes, and basically went downhill after that.

Akame ga Kill: Interesting premise. I thought this was gonna be some huge plot in which they carefully over-throw the Government in a grand manner. I honestly thought this could be the next FMA. But, after the 5th or 6th episodes, it became a joke, because
a character gets killed every other episode.

There wasn't any emotional stake, the plot felt extremely rushed. The only redeeming qualities are the action and the animation.
Ao no Exorcist
Log Horizon Season 2: I had a lot of expectations going into this series, because I loved the first season. I hadn't watched SAO yet(still haven't), so, it was the first of its kind, for me. Great characters, action, dialogue, world, it had everything. Then came the second season, it started off pretty strong. What went wrong? Instead of focusing on the existing characters, adding a few new characters, and building the world slowly and steadily, in every episode, it introduced new powers left and right, and half of the episode consisted of expository dialogue. On top of that, the anime introduced many characters, and took the time to explain who they were, only to not use them ever again. The crime is not this, it's that whenever it did that, it was for like 10-15 characters, so, you couldn't remember any of them. At around episode 14, it became unwatchable for me, because, unfortunately, it became... boring. I put it on-hold around episode 20.

Yeah I found Re:Zero, Akame Ga Kill, and Sword Art Online to be disappointing. 

The reason why these animes are so interesting at face-value is because they have great premises. But their plots are ass in my opinion. 

Akame ga kill has flat characters with almost little to no meaningful character development. SAO has a nonsensical plot. And Re: Zero isn't outright bad but doesn't do anything special that I haven't seen in other animes.
 

Akame ga kill doesn't hold back on deaths. there are lots of deaths in that anime and for a rebellion group that is close to reality.

Naruto would be at the top of my list. It was boring after the start of the world shinobi war.

the story got dragged on but it's not disappointing there now that i re-think everything. may be we shouldn't say this to others, who die for naruto
