** Heck, the ''entire idea'' of Marvel Anime (having popular Marvel superheroes in anime style made by {{Madhouse}}) may be seen as '''RUINED FOREVER''' by many anime and Marvel fans alike, mainly because having popular American superheroes in Japanese anime style is seen not to fit well with each other. Of course, the reception of the Marvel anime idea received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.
* Woohoo! Bandai Entertainment licensed ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' anime for U.S. release, wait...'''sub-only'''. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis WHAT! THE! MOTHER! FUCK! BANDAI!]] Why the fuck did you went for a sub-only release when the video game version had an English dub?!?!!
* After seeing just ONE episode of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' Kira (the newest OVA), many of the fans are saying this.
** The episode in question was about 90% sexual fanservice and isn't even cannon.

**There was also a case of this during the Deicide in which the "fans" had a problem with, wait for it..., the name; complaining endlessly that Tite is an idiot who couldn't spell the word decide right. Said "fans" tended to ignore the possibility that Deicide could possibly be a word itself and didn't even bother to do a simple Google search to do the research. Like the above example very few retracted their statements. It pains this troper how little common sense and basic dignity is left in the Bleach Fandom nowadays, though granted, of cource, that these are only the vocal minority.

* [[RuinedFOREVER This trope]] caused the BrokenBase of ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'': when it moved into the second half, many of the more traditional shounen fans claimed it was RuinedFOREVER because of being.... ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''. The base broke even further due to ''EndOfEvangelion'' later, which some saw as an example of a TrollingCreator.
** Fundamentally, ''EndOfEvangelion'' forms an alternate ending for the series, along with the updated "video & LD versions" of episodes 21 through 24. Fans do exist who would have preferred that NGE ended with its television broadcast of the original ending, some considering the updated ending to be unnecessary retcon that soils interpretation of the show.
** ...and further ruining things is the game ''Neon Genesis Evangelions'' (or NGE2) for PlayStation 2 and 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.)
** If the [[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.
* At what point was ''ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' RuinedFOREVER for people looking for a hard sci-fi mecha series? Was it Roots of Ambition where Chirico survived a shot in his heart due to Perfect Survivor status? Was it The Shining Heresy where Chirico was BornLucky enough to do a crazy ricochet fluke shot into the Order Buckler's cockpit and destroying Teitania's Auxillary Brain, Was it the newer [=OVAs=] such as Pailsen Files and Phantom Arc for Sunrise copping out on [[{{ConspicuousCG}} dodgy computer-generated ATs]] and it basically amounting to needless padding on Chirico's backstory, Some even claim that VOTOMS wasn't very realistic to begin with when the Quent arc rolled around and TheReveal happened. for bonus points, mention the phrase "Child of God." as that aspect of Chirico's character is a sore spot with many fans.
** Oh hey, ''ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' has a new OVA called CASE IRIVINE. Hey the AT's are actually animated this time and there's no Chirico! Wait... Wait! Hold the phone! Why is there [[{{CharClone}} a guy with a mask and a red AT?]] Why are the characters drawn as [[{{Bishonen}} prettyboys]] and not [[{{Gonk}} gruff military guys believable in the role of soldier?]] Why does the combat move as fast as CodeGeass? Why does one of the characters [[HeyItsThatVoice Sound like Lelouche?]] ''VOTOMS'' is impossible to be taken seriously anymore!"
* ''DigimonFrontier'': What the?! The Digidestined in this series transform into the Digimon?! And there's no real partner dynamic?!
** There was also a ''massive outcry'' at the [[ReplacementScrappy cast reboot]] in ''DigimonTamers''? Not to mention the fact that [[DigimonAdventure the original]] was a ShowWithinAShow there.
** [[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!

* ''{{Naruto}}'': Most commonly Sasuke [[SpotlightStealingSquad being the focus of an entire arc]] (especially the part about [[spoiler:[[ShockingSwerve Itachi being a good guy]]]]). Honestly, it has such an UnpleasableFanbase you can find someone that thinks the series JumpedTheShark at any moment, usually in the form of "(Character X) [[OutOfFocus hasn't done anything in months]], it's ruined!" Additionally, there's also a segment of the fandom that has said the TimeSkip was when they stopped liking it, [[SelectiveObliviousness even if most of what they're complaining about didn't happen until quite a while after or had been happening for a while before the time skip itself]] and they more or less seem to just be trying to focus their scorn on something important.
** Then there's - "[[spoiler:Sai told Sakura Naruto loves her... WHAT ABOUT HINATA?!?]]"
** The [[spoiler: instant revival of everyone who died during the Invasion of Pain Arc pissed off many fans. Of course, the fans were also pissed when everyone died so now they're thought of as unpleasable.]]
** The announcement that ''{{Naruto}} Shippuden'' would air on {{Disney XD}} has obviously not been taken well in certain parts of its [[FanDumb fandom]]. Despite the fact that VizMedia will still be releasing uncut [=DVDs=], so even if it does turn out to be a {{Macekre}} there won't be that much reason to complain. As can be seen with Marvel below, just being associated with Disney is prone to bring in the ruins.
* The ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime got this with Misty being PutOnABus and fan backlash against May [[ReplacementScrappy solely for filling the obligatory girl role Misty had]]. There are still some militant fans claiming this long after Dawn took over the girl spot, even though it's been ''years''.
** The dubbing of the show also got this claim after it went in-house, mainly due to the resulting voice actor switch. Yes, that's right, [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] ''losing'' the rights to the show ruined it FOREVER. Wonders never cease.
*** That had less to do with 4Kids itself than 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".
**** Most of the fans really don't even give a damn anymore, since the new voice actors improved over time (for the most part).
** And now for something not related to the voice actors: OMG they changed the "TO BE CONTINUED" text! And the title of the episode was written in English instead of Japanese with English subtitles! So were the credits! The anime is ruined FOREVER!
** Some Team Rocket fans claimed the trio was ruined FOREVER!! when Jessie and James were given black uniforms and a serious promotion, along with a new serious-business attitude.
* To expand on that, parts of the online fandom of any given anime tends to say that ''any'' anime that gets [[SubbingVersusDubbing dubbed into English]] (no matter how faithfully), is "ruined", despite the fact that no one's ever going to force them to actually ''listen'' to the English audio.
** Even though the Ghibli dubs are generally respected, there are some so-called "true fans" who insist on hating them simply because they're by Disney, and they object to any change to the dialogue, music, that may have been done to these films, stating that these movies have all been destroyed; an argument which is totally fatuous considering that Miyazaki and Ghibli were both involved with the creation of the dubs. If they don't think their works are ruined, who are such "fans" to say otherwise?
*** Made even more ironic considering [[WordOfGod Miyazaki himself stated]] that for quite a few of his characters he was forced into a form of "AccentAdaptation" due to the lack of any dialect he felt fit the characters within the Japanese Language. A prime example he named is the Witch of the Waste in "Film/HowlsMovingCastle".
*** Speaking of that one: Disney let the younger siblings of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers voice-act Ponyo and Sousuke (respectively) in the English dub of ''PonyoOnACliffByTheSea''? Cue building nerdrage via PeripheryHatedom by proxy.
** And on the flipside, with the anime industry scrambling to salvage itself and still turn a profit while still trying to license a diverse bunch of shows, several "niche" shows are being released sub-only. You know, the kinds of shows that put even a large studio like {{Geneon}} out of business because the dub cost so much the show didn't turn a profit. Anime is now ruined FOREVER because the industry is "[[FlippingTheBird discriminating]]" against dub fans. Strangely, nobody thinks the industry is ruined FOREVER because of the ongoing recession.
* The ''PrettyCure'' fandom is apparently the DistaffCounterpart of the ''Transformers'' fandom or something, judging by the InternetBackdraft 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 [[FutariWaPrettyCure 2004]]. When your fandom complains about ''FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'' for being an AlternateContinuity, then complains about ''[[YesPrettyCure5 Yes! Pretty Cure 5GoGo!]]'' for ''not'' being an AlternateContinuity...
* It appears to be very common in mainstream mecha anime. Fans have found something to complain about ''in every single episode'' for ''CodeGeass'', ''MacrossFrontier'', and ''{{Gundam 00}}'', with the amount of ruin escalating the higher the episode count is.
** ''CodeGeass R2'' in particular has the series FOREVER at least once per episode, according to some {{Fan Dumb}}s.
* ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Yes, even this! [[spoiler: Kamina's death is proclaimed this by some]]. This sentiment usually disappears after they see the rest of the series, and some have since even considered it [[GrowingTheBeard the point after which the show got better]].
* Many ''FruitsBasket'' fans cried this when it was revealed that [[spoiler: Akito is female]], which [[ShipSinking sunk ships]] everywhere and created a generally hilarious explosion because we all know that HetIsEw and they totally ruined the character for ever and ever.
* "What's this, the upcoming ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' sequel manga will have a male protagonist? [[HetIsEw OUR LESBIAN DREAMS!!!!]] [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!]]" Note that the new protagonist has his ''own'' love interests, so he can't interfere with the main characters from the previous series anyway...
** Erstwhile members of the [[YuriFan Lily Appreciation Society]] need not abandon ''all'' hope; a girl named Lily has been named as co-protagonist. [[MeaningfulName Coincidence?]]
*** Unfortunately, Touma has a working relationship with Subaru...oh shit...
** Some argue that ''Anime/StrikerS'' ruined the series forever, particularly by [[DemotedToExtra drastically reducing certain characters' screentime]], [[PutOnABus if not writing them out entirely]] (Particularly [[RomanticRunnerUp Yuuno]]).
*** 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]].
** "''FORCE'' is no longer a magical girl show! RAEG!"
** [[BadassDecay What have they done to]] [[spoiler:Signum and Hayate]]!? God damn you, this is no longer Nanoha!
* Fans have different opinions on where this happened in ''{{Bleach}}''.
** 1.) [[spoiler:When [[AnIcePerson Hitsugaya]] (presumably) beat Halibel]] there was a sudden influx of "Bleach is ta lose!!11one!" [[spoiler:When it was revealed that he hadn't even scratched her, very few of those who declared the series ruined came forward to retract their previous assessment.]]
*** Particularly sad considering the lack of genre savviness of these viewers; when has trapping an opponent in ice ever worked? (except in Fairy Tail)
** 2.) Since the start of the Soul Society arc.
** 3.) Since the END of the Soul Society arc, and into the filler Bount Arc that seemed to go on forever.
** 4.) Almost any point after the start of Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra.
*** Many readers following the chapter releases online actually embraced the whole thing and started to enjoy the many inventive ways the author can come up with to "ruin" his manga. The most ridiculous the development, the better! Kubo himself stated that he really loves designing characters and admits to creating new ones as a way to get himself out of writer's block.
** Special mention should probably also go to [[spoiler:Yammy's {{Reveal}} as the 0 Espada]], which tended to be viewed as a) wall-bangingly [[AssPull stupid]], b) hilarious, c) [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], or d) some combination of the above [[YourMileageMayVary depending on who you ask]].
**** This has not been stressed enough. Every time something happens in Bleach, it's ruined forever. Starrk didn't kill a billion Captains? He was pointless. Ulquiorra is popular? He's being milked. People expected more of the Vasto Lordes? Kubo overhyped them. The Fake Karakura Town Arc? Too much fighting, not enough character development. The beginning of the Lost Agent Arc? This is so slow it's worse than filler! Kyoraku didn't reveal his Bankai & that's terrible, but the series should have ended anyway. The point here is that the fanbase is unpleasable.
* Some people say that [[spoiler:L's death]] did this to ''DeathNote''.
* Some sections of the ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' fanbase tend to think every new and irritating bit in TheAnimeOfTheGame (which there is admittedly quite a lot of) has Ruined the series FOREVER. Particularly cutting out all the real-world parts of [=EP4=] after [[spoiler:George and Jessica kill each other]] to give more time to the Meta-World sequences and backstory for a somewhat CreatorsPet-ified Ange.
* A second season for the anime ''{{Kuroshitsuji}}'' was announced....featuring an original new protagonist and Butler not from the previous season or manga, and not Ciel and Sebastian. Cue the wailing of thousands of yaoi fangirls around the internet. Which, as it later turned out, was A-1 Pictures just trolling the fandom.
* ''OnePiece'' started getting these accusations once [[spoiler: Portgas D. Ace bit the dust, breaking the tradition of not killing named characters, except in flashbacks, that was maintained for 13 years of publication.]]
** Named characters '''have''' died, there had just been too many Disney Deaths.
** And then, after [[spoiler: there was confirmation of a TimeSkip happening, it started rising again.]]
* Oh cool, [[SarcasmMode FINALLY]] there will be a [=LatAm=] dub for ''DragonBallZKai''. Oh wait... there were economic issues? Half of the original [[VoiceActor VAs]] refused to dub? [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks THEY WERE REPLACED BY COMPLETE STRANGERS?! INCLUDING THE SINGER?!!]]
* Parodied in ''DarkerThanBlack'' with Kiko and her otaku friend. After months of giddy anticipation over the next release of their favorite anime, they storm out in anger over how it's RuinedFOREVER, and Kiko ''will not let the director get away with this''!
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' was [[WhamEpisode such a shift in demeanor]] from the much darker ''ZetaGundam'' that much of the fandom [[FanonDisContinuity would prefer not to think it happened.]]
** You thought the fans' reactions to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' were bad? Well, it doesn't even compare to how much flak ''MobileSuitGundamAGE'' is receiving. Universal Century and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Anno Domini]] fans seem to forget, however, that Tomino [[FanDumb specifically made Gundam for the younger generations.]]
** According to some fans, ''MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' utterly destroyed the ''MobileSuitGundamSEED'' fandom. So much so, that these fans will go so far as to pretend it didn't even happen lest SEED's reputation not be salvaged.
* Wait, SteveBlum ''isn't'' reprising his role as the title character in the ''[[Anime/{{Wolverine}} anime adaption of Wolverine]]''. Booooooo Marvel and G4!! '''RUINED FOREVER!'''
** Although we got [[Series/{{Heroes}} Peter Petrelli]] voicing Wolverine instead, YourMileageMayVary if you think this is a good idea or [[WTHCastingAgency not]].
** Heck, the ''entire idea'' of Marvel Anime (having popular Marvel superheroes in anime style made by {{Madhouse}}) may be seen as '''RUINED FOREVER''' by many anime and Marvel fans alike, mainly because having popular American superheroes in Japanese anime style is seen not to fit well with each other. Of course, the reception of the Marvel anime idea received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.
* Woohoo! Bandai Entertainment licensed ''TalesOfTheAbyss'' anime for U.S. release, wait...'''sub-only'''. [[ThisIsSparta WHAT! THE! MOTHER! FUCK! BANDAI!]] Why the fuck did you went for a sub-only release when the video game version had an English dub?!?!!
* After seeing just ONE episode of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' Kira (the newest OVA), many of the fans are saying this.
