Most recently Anime Corner, a reputable information site specializing in organizing anime votes, conducted a survey of 20,000 random audiences worldwide to choose the top 7 most disappointing anime of 2021. After 2 voting week, we had 7 unlucky names this year. Check it out with us!
Shaman King (2021)
Objectively, Shaman King is not bad, but compared to the successes of the original 2001 version, actually the 2021 version, although the visuals are more refined, but the character design and charisma are considered bad. true to the spirit of Shaman King. Even many fans even brought Shaman King to criticize the way of making anime that somewhat abuse the techniques of the studios now and forget the essence of that brand.
Blue Reflection Ray
Blue Reflection Ray is basically a gentle, romantic anime, but the visuals are quite rough, the character creation is sketchy and especially the cast does not show the same charisma as in the original manga. In fact, Blue Reflection Ray has a potential plot but the way the film is made has ruined it all. Many fans are disgruntled because of the producer’s negligence.
The World Ends with You The Animation
The World Ends with You is an action role-playing game with urban fantasy elements developed by Square Enix and Jupiter for the Nintendo DS. Set in Tokyo’s modern Shibuya shopping district, The World Ends with You features a distinctive art style inspired by Shibuya and youth culture.
When The World Ends with You was announced to become an anime, many fans felt excited, but what they received was disappointment. Images, sounds and action scenes really make gamers disappointed when they have ever played this game.
Blade Runner: Black Lotus
Waking up with no name or memory, a young girl finds herself in a strange setting, that of Los Angeles 2032. After brief moments of memory finally starting to recover in her mind. , the young girl remembers her name is Elie and quickly realizes she is no ordinary human. Remembering that she was being hunted by strangers, Elie searches for the two strangers and sets out on a quest to regain her lost memories and kill those who tried to kill her.
It’s attractive, but the production studio is quite negligent in trimming important parts of the plot, creating an uncomfortable feeling for viewers. Therefore, this anime is hated by many fans and disappointed in the quality in this 2021.
Muv-Luv Alternative
Humanity has begun to tire of their nearly 30-year war with the aliens known as BETA and begin to believe that the end is near. Elsewhere, high school student Takeru Shirogane wakes up and remembers how he saw the future of humanity and how the plan to stop BETA ended in failure. In a desperate attempt to prevent the end of humans, Takeru tries to retrace his steps as he rejoins the soldiers fighting BETA and undoes the defeat known as Option IV.
Based on the above novel series, Muv-Luv Alternative is an anime that is not really attractive, the production studio also omits a lot of interesting things and tries to condense the story into only 12 episodes. Audiences want more from Muv-Luv Alternative and so far really feel this anime adaptation is just mediocre.
Cestvs: The Roman Fighter
The slave warrior Cestvs seeks freedom from constant battles and constantly risks his life in every battle. Cestvs was told if he can get to 100 wins he will be free but will he be able to achieve the same. In AD 54, people like Vestv were tools for entertainment and the minute they couldn’t respond, they were cast aside like sheep. Wishing to freely promote their souls, the Cestvs entered the battle ring despite the high risk of death.
Cestvs: The Roman Fighter sounds like an extremely original anime concept using Rome as a backdrop. Sadly, this fighting anime undercuts many important details. Not only is the animation rigid and outdated, but the story itself is unappealing.
Ex-Arm
Akira Natsume, 16, was killed after being hit by a truck in 2014. When Akira woke up, he discovered two major events had occurred. It’s 2030 and Akira’s body is no longer human. Akira’s mind has been placed inside a special device called EX-ARM and this device is intended to assist a special police unit. The life Akira once knew is over, but under his brother’s guidance, Akira learns that he has a new mission in life that he must fulfill. There is a potential plot, but the Ex-Arm anime version gives the audience a disappointing experience and is listed on the list of anime disasters of 2021.
Above is the ranking of the 7 most disappointing anime of 2021, the top name makes many fans bored. Which name are you most disappointed with, please leave your comments!
