I'm 10 minutes into AfterLost.

Why is he riding the yellow vespa from FLCL? Why does her guard look like Mr. Eyebrows from FLCL?

I feel like I'm gonna hate this anime. But it's got shittily done FLCL, DuRaRaRa, DeadmanWonderland, Steins Gate, and AIGO vibes, so I feel like I have to start watching it at least...

These three were my most disappointing anime of Spring 2019.

In order from left to right.

Fairy Gone:

I really wanted to like this show. On paper, this anime probably seemed like a neat concept. With P.A Works working on it you knew this was going to have great animation too. Unfortunately, the animation and the background music during fights are the only good things about the show. I won’t say that that the main characters are unlikeable, I just don’t really care for them. The story is a bit confusing early on because of people and made up countries having complex names which makes it hard to remember who’s who. The monster designs range from bland to kinda neat. On top of this, the show leaves you wondering where the story is going, and not in the good way. Maybe the second season that airs in Fall will be better.

Gunjou no Magmell ( Magmel of the Sea Blue):

Another show with a neat concept and disappointing execution. The first two episodes of this series were great but after that the anime slowly got less and less interesting. Inyou is shown to be overpowered but the series constantly tells the viewer that he isn’t which is a weird mixed message. Also, his and Zero’s relationship isn’t really explored until episode eleven. The supporting cast is also pretty bland consisting of a scientist and his daughter, a billionaire, and a disgruntled shop keeper. A good number of the action scenes are also pretty boring with Inyou overpowering every monster. Episode eleven actually sets up a somewhat interesting story that will continue into episode twelve. Will it be enough to redeem this season? Probably not.

Shoumetsu Toshi (After Lost):

If anything this anime will serve as another example that even well-liked animation studios like Madhouse can fumble from time to time. It had a rough first episode but I thought it could still be somewhat good. This wasn’t the case at all. For starters, the animation is bland. This could have been remedied by a good/interesting story but no. A lot of times the episodes are boring or tedious with the main characters also sharing these traits. The show never really gives a satisfying explanation as to why some characters can use supernatural powers. The pacing is also weird with the third episode deciding to use an idol concert as a way to explain the show’s supernatural phenomenon. Ultimately this all leads to this anime being forgettable.
