Welcome, anime fans and stans. We've all been in the following situation: one of your friends will simply not shut up about a new manga he's reading or a new anime he's watching. After enough pestering, you follow suit and give it a try. Honestly, it's entertaining at first, and you can see how it hooked to many people. But eventually, the plot starts going in a direction that you did not expect — and not in a good way. Characters stop developing, plot lines are abandoned, and all those cool theories you and your buddy cooked up dissipate before your very eyes in favor of some half-baked narrative. Maybe you hold out until the very end, clinging to the hope that the series will redeem itself, but in the end, it's more disappointing than you could have ever imagined. The experience leaves you wishing you had never laid eyes on the series at all. Scroll down to find out which anime and manga had fans feeling this way.
