Srice summed up my major complaints with Erased which was the only thing I watched this year that really disappointed me. Despite that I do hope we get more anime like it because up until that very last episode I enjoyed every minute of it and I heard that there aren't many murder/suspense anime out there.

Monster is real good, if you haven't read/watched it already.

In no particular order:

Active Raid: Power-armoured police procedurals should not be this dull. The plot was meandering and half-assed, and the action so-so, leaving the show to rely on its static, one-dimensional characters and stale, gimmicky comedy, which could barely support the three-episode test, let alone a two-cour runtime. Probably the emptiest show Goro Taniguchi has ever put his name on.

Dimension W: A galloping hot mess of sci-fi cliches that veered between stale, incomprehensible, and uncomfortable, particularly in its treatment of its female characters - quite apart from the two separate harsh-but-noble warriors who routinely beat on their passive female companions, just how many motivational dead wives does one show need?

Garo: Guren no Tsuki: Definitely the year's biggest disappointment - a huge stepdown from the excellent Honoo no Kokuin, a visually uninspired animation trainwreck with writing and characters too dependent on re-heated shonen cliches to make it worth watching despite the hideous visuals.

Most avoided:

Super Lovers: It's about a romance between an adult and the feral child they take in and raise as their adopted sibling. It's actually quite impressive how much nope they managed to pack into such a short premise.
