Tuned in to Post 2K Anime / Manga!

To quote myself:
very very annoyed with the pacing in rosario vampire
first two events which should be considered major arcs take place in the protag's first year at the school (10 volumes) but then the entire rest of the manga takes place in the second year (14 volumes), including the big finale arc which is like 6 volumes
just feels like it was very poorly paced in a very obvious way. first arc should have been longer and ended with the end of the first year. second should have been longer and ended with the end of the second year. introduce more friendly monsters along the way even in enemy of the week chapters so when the students of the school "chip in" during the final conflict, it doesn't feel like BS, since like 90% of the students we saw were straight up evil. etc
the art is GREAT, the character designs are GREAT, and the fight scenes are pretty damn good. but man the PACING.

Also Mizore is incredibly sexo and the relationship between her and Kurumu was surprisingly great.
Not sure if I'll ever bother watching the anime again. For context I originally saw the anime like 14 years ago as a little burgeoning wap and had heard that the manga was way better for AGES before finally reading it, which only heightened the disappointment.

In hindsight, the recently-aired Ave Mujica was a disappointment. Based on how people were talking about it I had assumed it would be "the most dramatic anime ever" "I can't believe they allow this on TV!" and sure there were dramatic parts but it really didn't get all that crazy (rather, some crazy stuff happened, but there were no consequences). And of course that would be the case - it is tied to a gacha game. I really should have known better. I still liked it, but I was expecting a masterpiece.

For manga, it's probably Chainsaw Man Pt. 2. It really is such a shame how it has turned out. The plot is incoherent, I don't give a damn about the characters, and the art is such a decline from the peaks of Fire Punch and Pt 1 (it really was cruel of them to take away all of his assistants). I loved the ending of Pt 1, I loved the two one-shots in between, and I loved the beginning of Pt 2, but after the aquarium it just hasn't been up to snuff.

I was looking forward to the anime, but it felt so… incomplete.

My biggest disappointment from last year was the anime adaptation of Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. It was fucking awful…. It's a shame, because the manga is really fun and well drawn.

Somehow this didn't become anywhere as influential as Watamote despite coming out way earlier

Anime/manga itself is disappointing. The art form never reaches its full potential. Always held back by slop consuming otaku and American cultural vultures, destroying all beauty with their fetish for predictable templates and cookie cutter formalism. True one-dimensional men flattening out the art into joyless masturbation in a simulated consumer reality, a true opium of the people that numbs their senses to a cruel, oppressive, and harsh world they refuse to do anything about beyond whining. I am disappointed by all anime/manga by default.

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karute was a disappointment. Despite a novel setting for an anime, it feels this show couldn't decide between being an absurd and silly or a serious detective anime. Takao is also a terrible detective and they \wheel out a generic cop dressed as Columbo who happens to be a brainlet as if to imply Takao is better than the greatest TV detective of all time. Many of the cases feel uninspired or absurd too. Somehow a man is able to lift a T-Rex jaw from a museum and use it to amputate a leg by himself. I would have liked a nice medical themed anime but instead we got Sherlock Holmes level slop except with a cute girl and a bunch of silly seasonal anime stock tropes.

If there was one I liked but was soured by disappointment it had to be To Your Eternity. I feel like it should've ended with volume 12 and the modern period be an epilogue. It's a much more natural endpoint following a great climax than going into a school arc.

You can't really do the patron system either with such a collaborative medium, because even if some eccentric guy with money to burn wanted to give someone money to produce an anime HE thought was worth it it's then a matter of guaranteeing none of the couple dozen other staff members are fuckups

Its because MGX is way less easily digestible than Watamote is, with its at times cold and mysterious (ha) heroine, the surreal imagery, and the inherent weirdness of the central premise.
Watamote is, by contrast, uncontroversial, and since I don't want to start a flame war I'll leave it at that.

I'm glad I watched MyGO as it was airing, it was mediocre but at least the threads didn't really treat it as much more than that for the first half of airing. If I'd watched it after all the niwaka praise it probably would've been a huge disappointment, especially when the main source of praise is the badly written drama.

Uzumaki was probably the best recent disappointment as it was as a group. The first episode set some standards that weren't quite met and it's nice that everyone had to go through it aside from the blind.
