These were arguably the most underwhelming/hated anime that dropped this year mostly due to the animation, pacing, or where the show was going. Especially the new ones since they had the most hype. I haven't seen SS or BL but I heard they fumbled because of these reasons as well. For what I've seen, Uzumaki was honestly the best out of these imo because it was the most unique and if you look past the animation, the show itself was still pretty decent. Not great but not horrible either. I found Ninja Kamui to be worse because yeah like everyone says it just became a very bad cgi mecha anime around the halfway point and the show itself just got worse from there. As for Tensura and TOG, to put it simply, both were just very slow and boring but I understand it's all buildup for what's to come. But yeah what are your thoughts?

Tough call. I think you could add the Deer Girl show - it had much more hyped than Suicide Squad. There was also that yuri show from a couple seasons ago. Not as popular because yuri, but it was an utter disaster.

I heard mixed thoughts about Nokotan (haven't seen it) but I feel like it didn't get much hate compared to the ones I listed.

Blue Lock isn’t anywhere near a flop, this season has boosted manga backlogs higher than Dandadan’s despite being a sequel (sequel seasons rarely boost manga sales) and is one of the most watched shows in Japan, we can all agree the quality is bad but that doesn’t make it a flop

Ninja Kamui easily! It went from an S-Tier anime 2 episodes in, into a pile of dog turd all the to the end. The first show I ever had to apologize to friends about hyping up and recommending πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜­ Some people literally was comparing the animation to JJK and went quiet after lol

I gotta say blue exorcist. The show was gone for seven years and then they finally come out with season 3. It could’ve been the greatest comeback of all time, but then they switched animation Studios. The art style and the animation was ass, they cut out a bunch of shit from the Manga, and they rushed through all the arcs that they were adapting. Season four is currently airing and it’s not looking too good either. But yeah, Blue Exorcist is done for. It’s going sadder than the Tokyo ghoul anime. But at least the manga is still fire tho.

I've seen a grand total of two of those shows (Suicide Squad and Uzumaki), and loved both of them.

My first choice would be the child porn anime that no-one could shut up about, but I've never seen it and it seems it did well in its target demographic of closeted pedophiles.

My second choice would be Rick and Morty: The Anime, a show that I actually did see, but it's not listed on this site so it's debatable whether it counts or not.

EDIT: The boring filler training arc of Demon Slayer was this year. I'm going with that.

Where is the "all" option? Honestly, for me the worst failure of the year was the Tower of God. That mediocre animation, along with the messy direction of the first part of the second season was terrible. But honestly for me all these titles were a disappointment. Tensura is perhaps the least worst

I don't like the manga that much either, maybe just the art, the rest is all bad too. Uzumaki is very, very overrated.

Ninja Kamui and it’s not even close. At least with anime like Blue Lock S2 and Tower of God S2 we were able to tell early on how limited and booty cheeks they would be quality wise.

Uzumaki, on the other hand, is more similar to Ninja Kamui in terms of how it baited us early on with promise to then become laughably bad in an instant (which is surprising with all the delays it had).

Though, I give Uzumaki a pass since we only had to suffer for a few episodes. Ninja Kamui gave us a couple solid episodes to then fellow that by becoming a whole different show lmfao. Mecha Kamui is definitely one of a kind to say the least. Just so happens to be for all the wrong reasons.

Shikanoko was utter trash from the start, everybody knew it was trash (the manga is trash as well) and will be trash. It was a joke and a meme, but had very successful marketing and was able to bait idiots in. But even the ones who were baited by the hype knew that the show will be bad, they just hoped it will be funny and memeable.
So people didn't have the same expectations, were not betrayed the same way, therefore it didn't get that much hatred and also there wasn't really a downfall because it was on the bottom floor from the start.

Imagine being a company that dared releasing anime and managing to make ALL OF THEM flop.

Warner should stop making or being involved in anime. The Wacky Races and Scooby Doo ones will 100% flop at this rate because holy shit not even Disney flops that bad.

I was shocked of how dogshit Ninja Kamui turned out to be. To be frank I though it was bad right from the start but considering that the fight scenes aren't even worth to watch (because of the bad art direction that they took) after four or so episodes makes the project an abomination that I can't bring myself to even finish. Definitely the worst of 2024 but most of these flops aren't a lot better either.

Uzumaki EP 1 is good but everything afterwards, idk. TOG S2 and Blue Lock S2 were among my most anticipated series this year, especially since they’re adapting the best arcs from their respective stories. Unfortunately, both series got a bad treatment oof.

@Zarutaku The one-time the show did get a chuckle out of me was when a dude's torso bounced off like a spring in one of the episodes. The one who confessed to the FMC.

And when his body got grotesquely wrapped around the front tire of a car.
