I'll start, Deadman wonderland, I remember watching it when I was just a teen, it was wonderfully gory, had sex appeal, an interesting premise, all the things a young guy likes. But I got to I think the third episode and I was like "what happened?" The action totally fell off, no character development was happening, it was just boring.

This sticks out to me since I have such a high suspension of disbelief so I like pretty much all media, the fact that this made teenage me stop watching a series midway just shows how much I didn't like it compared to the start.

What about y'all, what series let you down?

Hoshi no Samidare. I loved the manga but the anime just isn't hitting. But perhaps that's only because of my expectations since I loved the manga.

I'll have to revisit that to see if it will hit after I have let it stew a while.

Yeah honestly. I tried really hard but couldn't make it past episode 7. And with things like this it won't get a other chance.
