1. Mahouka: Way too many technical explanations, a main character that reminded me of Kirito too much, an annoying sister with an oniichan complex (which reminded me of SAO again... ) and an awfully slow plot. For all the hype the series got in advance I was seriously disappointed. Stuck with the show only because many people said it needs some time but after 8 or so episodes I just couldn't deal with it anymore, I had near to no fun watching the episodes.

2. Tokyo Ghoul: Well I really like the manga and Pierrot just butchered the show and the characters. It did have some nice animation and music, but for whatever reason it didn't stick to the original story at all and went off to some made up shit I couldn't care less about. At least it managed to gather some new manga fans, but that's about it.

3. Glasslip: One of P.A.'s weakest works. I usually like them, some more or less, but this one was just too weird right from the beginning. Awkward main cast who just didn't click with me, a boring and overused romance circle which felt unnatural. Even the animation, usually one of the strongest points in their works, felt off. I hope they will do better with Shirobako. Nagi no Asukara went downhill midway and Glasslip was a pure disappointment, so if this is going to fail again I'm going to be massively disappointed. Here's hoping for a quality work like Uchouten Kazoku or Hanasaku Iroha, that would be nice

I voted for Glasslip. I usually like PA Works. Even there weaker anime usually are at least entertaining. Glasslip was boring, the characters bland, and story barely comprehensible. I dropped it some weeks back. The animation was typically gorgeous, at least there was that.

Re Hamatora: The 1st season was nothing special but the 2nd one made things worse with the "new villain".

Glasslip for the same reason as you and Tokyo ESP.

 

[Hakuteiken]

Voted for Rail Wars!. Did not expect much out of it, but it failed to meet even the slightest of the expectations. Though my original vote would be Fate/Kaleid, which I couldn't see in the poll while voting, as it fails to reproduce the fun from the previous season.

I voted for Glasslip for reasons that were already stated. The animation was good, but not the best for a PA Works show; the story wasn't really coming together, the character interactions were so bizarre, and the characters too off-putting to really enjoy it.

I also voted for Sailor Moon: Crystal. It's following the manga better, but I had more expectations for the animation that was very subpar at times, and the CGI transformation sequences were really weird for me.

Fairy Tail it doesnt feels like how it was before watching it ,hate animation also

 

[Impossibility]

Fairy Tail (2014) was pretty much intolerable, after waiting so long it was a tremendous disappointment. After multiple attempts to make it through a few episodes of Tokyo ESP, I just couldn't. Dramatical Murder is nothing short of a train wreck, although maybe that was their intent, something so abberantly pointless that viewers are forced to tune in to see whether such a thing was truly possible.

 

[SharkBait]

JJBA for it spending too much time going nowhere and being boring. Baby Steps for just not be as good as the other sports series running. Sailor Moon Crystal for making Tuxedo Mask weak.
