* In \'\'{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}\'\', Yusei must go up against three opponents in a row due to some clever planning by what seems like one of his more formidable opponents during a three-on-three team duel in what at first proved to be very exciting after an up to this point SeasonalRot. After being reduced to 3 cards in his deck, he fights valiantly but still ends up drawing all of them, which means he would lose on his next draw phase. But despite this, his final opponent, Jean, doesn\'t simply END HIS TURN which would\'ve won them the match, as Yusei has nothing in his deck, and instead opts to attack with a retarded looking ram-baby-thing and ends up hitting a wall to lose. He does this because he realizes that winning isn\'t everything and he doesn\'t want to win that way. In a series that has been doing contrived victories for \'\'fifteen years,\'\' this one still took the cake as the absolute most illogical and BrokenAesop filled one of them all: \

In a series that has been doing contrived victories for \\\'\\\'fifteen years,\\\'\\\' this one still took the cake as the absolute most illogical and BrokenAesop filled one of them all: \\\"Winning isn\\\'t important, as long as our hero wins, and you shouldn\\\'t win through cheap means, but doing direct damage via a freaking card from your hand that is nigh-uncounterable is just \\\'\\\'fine\\\'\\\'.\\\" Yusei doesn\\\'t even appear confused that Jean refuses to end his turn to simply win the match, it\\\'s like he\\\'s meta-aware of the fact that he\\\'ll win no matter what.
* Episode 70 of \\\'\\\'{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX}}\\\'\\\' establishes it as one of the most sexist shonen anime in the history of shonen. Asuka Tenjouin, already neglected and underutilized up to this point, must duel Jun Manjoume to restore Obelisk Blue’s dignity. Two of the best duelists on the show going against one another with everything they’ve got, huge stakes on the line; should be a pretty epic duel, right? Unfortunately, what we get instead is a dull and tepid CurbStompBattle, one of the worst ever to be put onto the small screen, lasting only five turns and making Asuka come across like a total mook. This is especially grating, seeing as this episode strongly parallels Episode 41, which was practically a celebration of how awesome Asuka really was. Considering that Asuka is one of the few female characters on the show, for her to be subjected to such a demeaning and degrading excuse for a duel in which she never gets to shine, and never truly recovers from, this episode is easily the worst that Yugioh GX has to offer.
* The final episode of the \\\'\\\'PandoraHearts\\\'\\\' anime. Oh boy, we finally get to face off against the main antagonist? All right, can\\\'t wait for the awesome fi-- wait, you just one shot K.O.\\\'d him? ... Really?
** The general episode was rather jarring. Up to episode 24 its all well and fine; but then the last episode just whams you in the face with some MeaninglessMeaningfulWords and it feels like everything had been cramped up to an extent of where nothing is understandable as opposed to all the other episodes. {{Anticlimax}} much...
* \\\'\\\'NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu: Purezza\\\'\\\' episode 3. Supposedly, the episode was a parody on the new character by tsundere queen RieKugimiya. I mean, WHAT THE HELL WAS UP WITH THE PANTY SHOTS OF HER?! This series wasn\\\'t an ecchi series at all, did they really want to piss me off or something? Basically, the whole season has had facepalm moments like this, from Shiina getting (\\\"comically\\\") groped in season 2, Haruka\\\'s nipples popping from her Christmas shirt in episode 4, Haruka having less screentime, having a bigger focus on Yuuto for some reason. I\\\'m sorry, but I don\\\'t want fanservice.
* The GrandFinale of \\\'\\\'GiantRobo\\\'\\\' has an epic conclusion that leaves you greatly satisfied... Until they throw in a SequelHook which very much deflates the intensity that preceded it.
* \\\'\\\'SailorMoon\\\'\\\': The entire \\\"Endy\\\'s sending bad thoughts\\\" plotline. It\\\'s contrived and stupid and it gives Seiya fangirls too much ammo. Mamoru\\\'s enough of a cold fish anyway; did you really have to make his future self break him up with Usagi in a horribly cruel way, without telling what was going on?
** What about the bad ending of [[spoiler: It was all a dream that came to be thanks to a doll shaped like our annoying flying cat?]].
* The original \\\'\\\'InuYasha\\\'\\\' anime suddenly ended, not just mid-arc, not just mid-battle, but \\\'\\\'mid-swing\\\'\\\' when fans think Naraku is finally going to die. [[spoiler: He doesn\\\'t even get hurt.]] Sure, the series isn\\\'t all that great, but most of the people still watching by Ep. 160 or so were doing so for closure.
** Well... good news, everyone! Search \\\'\\\'Inuyasha: Final Act\\\'\\\'. Though it\\\'s starting to look like the \\\"Final Act\\\" is going to drag on as long as the old show... but Sesshomaru is actually involved in the plot now!
*{{Beserk}} Also, the Soten filler episode in season 4 or 5. Sure, it gives an excuse for an adorable SandboxRomance montage, but it\\\'s pointless. Also, in the original episodes, Hiten and Monten were portrayed as not having any other siblings at all. TheyJustDidntCare.
** For me, it was the end of the Tower of Conviction arc. The AuthorFilibuster was completely random and unnecessary, and it gave the impression that the main characters are all {{Darwinist}} psychopaths. What made it worse was that it came at the very end of an otherwise excellent story arc.
*** ....Guts \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a {{Darwinist}} psychopath.

Guys, I tried to post an archive of the page before I edited it into line with the new guidlines, and it didn\\\'t work. Sorry. Well here are a few things:

* \\\'\\\'{{Mirai Nikki}}\\\'\\\' - The scene where Yuki kills his friends after they try to warn him about his psycho girlfriend Yuno. Given how he had lamented his loneliness the entire series, and had been moved to tears when they promised to help him in earlier chapters, this was a massive WallBanger to say the least. Keep in mind that he\\\'d done this after seeing how crazy she was first hand--i.e. finding the corpses of her parents in her house, learning she was an impostor, and even being drugged and held in bondage by her while she tried to kill the same group of friends. That level of loyalty to such an imbalanced psychopath, which was done just to set-up the final confrontation and add more unnecessary {{Squick}}, was as tasteless as it was insultingly stupid.
* In \\\'\\\'{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}\\\'\\\', Yusei must go up against three opponents in a row due to some clever planning by what seems like one of his more formidable opponents during a three-on-three team duel in what at first proved to be very exciting after an up to this point SeasonalRot.
