Watched/Expected/Got

I presume you guys know the drill? Hopefully we can spark some discussion of various people's individual experiences of works, so that this doesn't become a lone prairie of links and images.

I'll get us started with some Jojo, shall I?

 

[Selias]

I'm too lazy to make a picture

Watched: Rurouni Kenshin 2012
Expected: Absolute crap
Got: A surprisingly good movie (if you can ignore some things like Hannya being a pretty-boy gun-slinger with a scar on his face or Sano randomly showing up to help fight Kanryu despite that he was barely in the movie until then)

Read: Afro Samurai
Expected: Rurouni Kenshin / Samurai Deeper Kyo
Got: Shamo, but with swords

 

[Himura]

Watched sekirei
Expected a generic harem meets generic fighting series
Got something that was somehow even more bland than that.


Watched Mx0
Expected three amigos meets harry potter
Got the man who knew to little, but the mc knows and has to pull batman level gambit contantly to fake it and live. Aslo magic and it 3x as awesome as it sounds.

Aw, c'mon, they're not as fun without pictures!

I've never liked these myself, most of the time i don't get the references they're making.

Yeah it sounds an interesting concept but I am having trouble identifying most of them...

Hunter X Hunter. Specifically the 2011 edition, but in general, too.

Wait Wut?

......... um.... that kinda makes no sense to me unless you are talking about early on before the hunter exams finish. because then turns into Yuyu Hakusho/Toriko

No, I'm talking about right up to the end of the Chimera Ant arc at least. Maybe you're confused because I mean philosophically and you mean what the narrative content was?

Ah! ok that makes more sense. ^_^

While I cannot actually fully remember all Details about when I first saw the series, I expect many had different expectations from what actually happened.

 

[Smuthunter]

Watched Girls und Panzer. Expected Strike Witches with tanks. Got Hogan's Heroes with skirts.

Watched Vividred Operations. Expected Nanoha. Got Nanoha's filler episodes.
