Discussion 60 - Special!

[jenybear]

Welcome to another discussion round! It is a pretty straightforward game where I give you a question that you'll answer in a new comment, and I'll give you two random cards plus an additional two random singles since it is a special round! Since this is a discussion, don't be shy! Feel free to comment on other player's threads too~

"Is there a particular series that you started but could not bring yourself to finish because you were disappointed in the progression of the story? What bothered you about where the story was headed? If not is there a series you wanted to start but didn't because someone recommended not to/spoiled it for you? Please keep all answers spoiler free and be respectful of other players opinions!"

(Example: KHR- Reborn was a series I refused to finish reading because of the progression of the story. I felt that they made one particular female character completely useless when she had the potential to be a complete badass. It really peeved me off when one arc hit and they just severely downplayed her. So I dropped it and that really upset me because I was actually really looking forward to the new arc that was just beginning at that point. I also got spoiled on Fate/Night so I never finished it, because I know the ending...and I'm like one -maybe two- ep away from the end haha.)

Have fun everybody! This round ends on December 25th 2014. CLOSED

I have had a LOT of series like this, and most series I never finish. Shingeki no Kyojin was one of them. I just didn't like the anime much at all, but sometimes I wonder if its cause of the fans? maybe I'm not sure. Games can be the same way sometimes haha. Um Folklore was one of those games. I've restarted it like 10000 times but never get past level 3, out of boredum. I remember someone said there was a horror scene (at the time i didnt investigate, and i thought it would be a horror game... turns out its totally not.) its not a bad game, just... never finished,

I'm still trying to work my way through SNK (the anime, way too lazy to pick up the manga).

Aria and Scarlet Ammo went from an interesting premise to cliche harem story SO fast. I just noped out of there.

[jenybear]

I don't even know what series that is, but cliche harem sounds tough enough.

[akumanomiyu]

Mhhh....Sket Dance because I didn't like the story so much.
Brothers Conflict because the female character was too meek and useless and it totally irked me the wrong way...I always try to watch anime taken from otome games because "why not!" and I know that I can't expect too much from the female character (even if I'm nicely surprised by them sometimes)...but give her a little more personality at least XD
Detective Conan....I tried to watch it because a friends suggest it to me (and I liked Kaito Kid) but it's a never ending story so, no thank you u.u

[jenybear]

Brothers conflict was the same issue with me. I started it because gorgeous boys and Suzumura but I couldn't deal with it...this is why I can't watch otome-game based animes. This is my problem with uta no prince (and again gorgeous boys drew me to it)

Actually there are quite a lot of series which is did not finish. I always watch about 15 series from the new series and the ones that seems the most interesting stick around because I end up not having enough time for them and they didn't seem to be as interesting as the story started.

[jenybear]

You, my friend, are my hero. 15 series from the new releases? bows

[chianna]

I managed to keep track of 7 of them xD

new release here we come *_*

It's happened so many times before lol. And recently too, like last week when I stopped watching Kuroko no Basket season 2 because I thought it seemed like repetition of what had happened in the first season, but with an "upgrade" on their powers. And the thing with the generation of miracles got old really fast for me. It's a pity because I did enjoy the first season and I thought some of the characters were cool, but it just seemed like it wasn't for me. Other series I've dropped include Gundam Wing (because I couldn't get the grasp on the reason for the war), Chihayafuru (because I never liked Chihaya nor Arata, but thought Taichi was perfection) and Naruto (I never really liked anyone there other than Kakashi and Yamato).

[jenybear]

I'm still on season 2 of Kuroko to be honest, and since I'm only like 6 (maybe) eps in, I am enjoying it! But I can understand where you're coming from if that's the progression of it. However, HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE NARUTO?! How...impossible.
Who doesn't like a boy who shouts all the time, doesn't think and an anti-social moron who is obsessed with revenge?

[tsunashis]

Out of the most recent ones, I'd say probably Captain Earth? I was fairly excited for it when it first was announced/started airing because it's by the same staff as Star Driver and I unironically love Star Driver with all my heart and soul. It did give off a similar feeling of silliness and cheerfulness at first but eventually the plot became more serious, which isn't technically a bad thing, but also I found it to be a bit all over the place. In the end I think I never got to watching the last 2 episodes, which I could power through if I wanted to, but I really don't feel like it.

[jenybear]

Do you at least know the ending of those two episodes? I don't know anything about Star Driver tbh haha

[instrumentality]

I dropped Kodomo no Jikan because it grossed me the hell out, lmfao... and also MariaHolic because I just thought it was mean and not really funny at all... which is weird because I usually am into Shaft anime. I DID finish Galilei Donna, but it wasn't worth it at all, and went super downhill in the last few episodes, imo.

[jenybear]

When things gross you out, definitely worth dropping!

[yokatta]

Fairy Tail comes to mind because the anime was too childish for my liking. I don't watch a lot of stuff because I'm too slow, most of the time I end up dropping things mostly because I just never get around to watching it and eventually I forgot what was going on.

[jenybear]

This is me with several series (like sakamichi no apollon, I swear I will one day finish it!) Fairy Tail is childish but that is why I am enjoying it even though I'm only 10 eps in

[suguro]

I have several of these, but the one that comes to mind is Amatsuki ;;; I thought the plot was really interesting and I was charmed by the characters but I couldn't get past episode 8 or 9 of the anime. I keep telling myself maybe the manga will be more appealing, and the funny thing is I still remember the characters fondly but the anime didn't keep my attention o it's second half.

[jenybear]

I can understand that, have you checked out the manga? Does it suit your taste better?
