So older anime can be subjective, but for the sake of this argument lets sayyyyyyyy 20 years or older? So any anime from 2005 or older.

I’ll start. Saikano: The Ultimate Weapon as I heard it was a classic tragic love story between 2 star crossed lovers and it was ever so so so sad and tragic and your tears would flow like waterfalls etc. It ended up being a 1.5 out of 5 for me. It was just so so so boring. Like you could cut out episode 2-10 and only watch 1 and 11-13 and that would be enough to understand the story. The other weird thing was that everybody is cheating on everybody and yet nobody seems like it and yet they still do it…

What is your classic anime you wanted to like so badly, only to end up disappointed for X reason?
