History RuinedFOREVER / AnimeAndManga

** …and further ruining things is the game ''Neon Genesis Evangelions'' for UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]]. This was released in two iterations during the Aughts and marketed as containing the answers to the show's most niggling secrets. Much of this material has been translated over the years, and there have been no shortage of appreciative fans – but with that comes a vocal minority crying foul that the game reveals too much and ruins the mystery. (Never mind that with every secret spoiled, many more mysteries have been created.)

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'': What do you mean, the dark-skinned lesbian is voiced by a straight white woman? I will have you all flayed and salted, you intolerant cads!

* Fans of the original ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' light novels cried foul when the AnachronicOrder of the books was different from that of the show; never mind that it was ''still'' out of order, the climax was ''still'' at the end and it ''still'' worked from a storytelling point of view. Then again, they were also in shock that [[ItsPopularNowItSucks their beloved obscure light novel series was now a]] CashCowFranchise [[ItsPopularNowItSucks loved by millions]].
** To be fair, the novels, while out of order, finished a story before moving to a different one, while the anime was all over the place.
*** Later on, American fans cried this when they learned Haruhi's DVD release would have the episodes in chronological order.
** That said, if that didn't FOREVER ruin Haruhi, Endless Eight sure as hell did.

** Depending on who you ask, ''00'' was either ruined forever in its first season (''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' with Gundams), in its second season (the ''Zeta Gundam'' rehash) or in its movie (the bastard child of ''Char's Counterattack'' and ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''). To summarize, ''00'' was ruined forever because it either 1.) diverted from traditional ''Gundam'' storytelling, 2.) reverted to traditional ''Gundam'' storytelling or 3.) [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking was invaded by an army of T-1000s]]. And then there's the crowd who found ''00'''s writing shoddy throughout...

** It should also be noted that fans of the [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Nanoha/Fate pairing]] who RAGE at having a male protagonist in the ''Force'' manga actually ''adore'' and ''worship'' ''[=StrikerS=]'' for making the heroines [[PseudoRomanticFriendship share a bed]], have six-year-old [[CloneJesus Vivio]] [[HasTwoMommies call both of them 'mama']] and, thanks to the [[AudioAdaptation sound stages]], be called 'The Takamachi Family'. Not to mention that they are very glad about the [[PutOnABus the almost-disappearance]] of [[RomanticRunnerUp Yuuno]].

* Wait, Creator/SteveBlum ''isn't'' reprising his role as the title character in the ''[[Anime/{{Wolverine}} anime adaption of Wolverine]]''. Booooooo Marvel and G4!! '''RUINED FOREVER!'''

** Don't even mention ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' fans. They will instantly bring up the idea that ''GT'' was not canon since Akira Toriyama did not involve in the development. Their reasons being Goku became a OneManArmy, and other major characters in the previous series existed to be kidnapped, brainwashed, turned into punching bags, or even killed off.

** The dubbing of the show also got this claim after it went in-house, mainly due to the resulting voice actor switch, with the [[TheOtherDarrin jarring changes made]] to the voices of characters that fans had become adjusted to. That said, it still fits this trope to a "T". But most of the fans really don't even give a damn anymore, since the new voice actors improved over time (for the most part).

** If the [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion new Evangelion movies]] (the fan-branded "Rebuild") end up being connected ''in-universe'' to the original Evangelion series, many Eva fans will cry out "RUINED FOREVER" in a singular voice so terrible that it will knock the planet off-axis.

** The above two effectively "came to nothing" as the "Sun & Moon" series ends[[note]]not quite; there's still one quest outstanding with a month or two left to go[[/note]] with the {{Inevitable|Tournament}} TournamentArc, ''again''. [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks So much for this series being "different"]]...

** It should also be noted that fans of the [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Nanoha/Fate pairing]] who RAGE at having a male protagonist in the ''Force'' manga actually ''adore'' and ''worship'' ''[=StrikerS=]'' for making the heroines [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship share a bed]], have six-year-old [[CloneJesus Vivio]] [[HasTwoMommies call both of them 'mama']] and, thanks to the [[AudioAdaptation sound stages]], be called 'The Takamachi Family'. Not to mention that they are very glad about the [[PutOnABus the almost-disappearance]] of [[RomanticRunnerUp Yuuno]].

** Don't even mention ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' fans. They will instantly bring up the idea that ''GT'' was not canon since Akira Toriyama did not involve in the development. Their reasons being Goku became a OneManArmy and MartyStu, and other major characters in the previous series existed to be kidnapped, brainwashed, turned into punching bags, or even killed off.

** [[Anime/DigimonSavers Marcus]] doesn't wear [[GogglesDoNothing GOGGLES?!]] The characters are OLDER than 12?! The animation is more anime-y? [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking AGUMON'S NOSTRILS ARE FEATURELESS POLKADOTS?!]] Say it isn't so!

** Many fans dislike ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'', because the Digimon don't digivolve and mostly combine with others. Even though its nothing new since 02.

* The ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' fandom is apparently the DistaffCounterpart of the ''Transformers'' fandom or something, judging by the reaction that occurs every time the premise of the next series is revealed without fail, complete with one subset that everything needs to go back to the way it was in [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure 2004]]. When your fandom complains about ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'' for being an AlternateContinuity, then complains about ''[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Yes! Pretty Cure 5GoGo!]]'' for ''not'' being an AlternateContinuity. And then you have ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars New Stage'', due to the fact that the movie focuses more on the original character introduced in the movie and the [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure current]] and [[Anime/SuitePrettyCure previous]] teams than [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure the]] [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar whole]] [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 seven]] [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure teams]] [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure combined]]. Sheesh...
