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?

Solo Leveling. I think after seeing so many recommendations (and better animes) I expected too much of it. It's just a very basic Isekai with flat, tropey characters and boring art style. It has some really cool fight scenes, I'll give it that. Forced myself to watch the first season to the end in the faint hope it'll do something interesting, but nope.

I guess it's watchable if you're looking for a simple power fantasy and don't mind tropes.

Manga it is based on is actually WORSE, the anime is decent in comparison
