Worst arcs in animu/mango

**Shirogetsu** · 05-19-2008

I'm going to go first and say the arc in D.Gray-man, the Japan arc, all that epicness, all that struggle, all that amazing effort and intense action... everyone near enough dies... Then they get brought back, anti-climatic, if they all died, I would've praised the creator, doing what no one in Shounen ever does. But no, she goes and ruins it all and has the Allen bring them back. Fail.

Your turn.

the lack of L in the second part to Death note pretty much killed it....

The Boo Arc, obviously in DragonBall, is full of epic failure - Super Sayianjin 3, fusion, magic, Goten & Trunks, etc. The quality of this arc is the exact result of Akira Toriyama’s tiredness of the series.

Rozen Maiden: Traumend.

Seems like the same thing Shirogetsu described with D.Grayman with several important differences:

It wasn't really 'epic' to begin with, save for a few moments, including Shinku and Barasuisho's final fight, and the soundtrack.
Imagine Shinji with a dumb as nails sister instead of a cool father, give him small tantrums along with his whines, and you have the basis for the main character.
Hinaichigo. Someone kill it.
Kanaria. Someone kill it with fire.
After the Deus Ex Machina revival of nearly everyone, which happens oddly, with the Deus hiding around the corner the whole time, apparently, nothing is explained, and at least five more questions are added. Then everything ends. Chrono Cross style.
Jun doesn't die.

The last arc in the Gantz anime was awful. Before I even knew about the manga and how it continued I could tell the last arc was filler. It had an awful ending too (BANG! lol)

Are Fillers considered arcs?

If so, then the Naruto Filler Arc.

**Raven** · 05-19-2008

Naruto fillers...as much as I love Naruto...I could not force myself to sit down and watch the horribly constructed filler episodes. It is that bad and that is indeed very sad...

Nikushimi · 05-19-2008

If we're counting filler, then Naruto's Filler Hell takes this, easily. Followed by Bleach's Bounto Arc.

If not...then the second Sasuke Retrieval Arc was pure shit as well, as was the Build Hebi/Pursue Itachi/third Sasuke Retrieval Arc. Pretty much everything after Deidara's death and before Sasuke's fight against Itachi wasn't worth reading.

Kurushimi · 05-19-2008

Naruto Filler Arc.

Need I say more?

**Raven** · 05-19-2008

Wow, I think I know what happened....

Filler episodes became so apparent that the series itself is now influenced by the filler quality (Shippuuden)? Maybe an off the mark thought but I had to say it as it does seem likely.

I actually loved that arc for the sheer thought of Yu Kanda dying. Even though it lasted like 30 chapter it was very good. But he did go out with a nice bang though.

That whole filler mess at the end of the Rurouni Kenshin anime was pretty bad.

The whole FMA OVA sucked ass, so did the anime finale.

As for the Naruto fillers, I've only watched one and it was so crappy that I stopped watching the Naruto Anime alltogether. Crazy umbrella guy, damn!
