Tiger Mask W was a big disappointment, it started out great but it got weird and boring really fast after that. The op and Ed hinted at a show with at the very least characters with personality that are distinguishable beyond their different designs but we didn't get that even.

Nanbaka: It started out as a decent frantic comedy and then it became serious for some reason. At first I thought the over the top dramatic shift was part of the joke but it wasn't. By the time the shift occurred a lot of the jokes were getting stale anyway so I'm not sure it would be good if it hadn't gone off the rails anyway.

Izetta: A great first episode but with each episode more characters were introduced and lots of stuff happened so I lost confidence it'd flesh out the leads. I probably had too high of standards for it honestly

If Tiger Mask doesn't count then my third nomination is Thunderbolt Fantasy, it started out pretty fun but the writing was kind of a slog and that episode where the main character has the same conversation four times with different people turned me off completely. All the characters had pretty drab designs too which was a disappointment, I was hoping for more variety than lots of purple and black

Half the cast also emoted the same way with their voices which is tiring as well

My Most Avoided show was Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, the first few episodes were filled with exposition that I couldn't give a poo poo about and a lot of the buzz around the show was how hardcore and realistic it was compared to other Mecha which turns me off even more.

Did we really need six or seven episodes for that? Holy poo poo.

Ergo: Subaru is dumb as rocks.

Yea there absolutely are shows with endings so bad they ruin everything that came before it

ah, to be hero

It was a dumb ending but it didn't make the other episodes retroactively unfunny so I don't know if it counts. Rokka's ending felt pointless because it reset the status quo and added a really dumb character that we'd never see again because there was no way there's be a season 2. Among other things

What happened there?

It went for a schmaltzy ending where the whole thing was a coma dream and the bad guy was actually his bad dad thoughts. Or is it??????

I'm not sure how Rokka could have stayed supe rinteresting past that opening arc without either resetting the status quo (like it did) or becoming less good, what appealed to me was that it was the fantasy locked room mystery aspect, less so the epic fantasy aspect.
