A discussion thread on Reddit has sparked a significant buzz in recent days, becoming a trending topic on social media. The purpose of the post is titled “What are the most iconic moments in anime that have been ruined?” It has attracted the attention of many anime enthusiasts. Users continuously shared their opinions on the most breathtaking scenes, but for some reason, the moments they appreciated didn’t quite hit the mark.
During the discussion, users talked about iconic moments that, in theory, should be unforgettable, whether due to emotional impact, intense action, or humor. However, due to several reasons, these memorable moments often fell flat due to decisions made in anime or even elements outside the film, particularly decisions by directors or adaptations from novels. Each user brought their unique experiences to the table, and discussions flooded with examples of how certain decisions, both within and outside the anime sphere, clashed with memorable moments that could have been powerful.

The underlying factor here is that these moments are not just about the narrative; they also reflect how fans interpret and share their ideas about these events, which can make specific scenes stand out as extraordinary. Such discussions demonstrate that anime fans genuinely care about the quality of the content they consume and continue to hope for the best from each new story adaptation.
Below are the comments from anime fans regarding this topic:
– Meliodas vs. Escanor. This is the battle that manga fans have eagerly awaited, but in the end, it was disappointing in the anime, causing the entire series to feel like a joke for a while.
– The fight between Meliodas and Escanor has severely tarnished the reputation of The Seven Deadly Sins.
– The entire Battle Royale segment in Index S3 should have been a grand battle, but the reality was quite underwhelming.
– The return of Berserk should have been a monumental moment, but the anime was instead poorly handled with the latest CGI technology.
– I felt that Vinland Saga was truly lacking when it came to the impactful scene between Leif and Thorfinn. It was well built throughout the entire series, yet afterward, no one mentioned it.
– The anime adaptation of Gantz is genuinely unfortunate. Many moments in the manga are great, but the anime adaptation turned them into a horror show.
– The pressure-filled episode of Fire Force Season 2 completely ruined the character Tamaki, portraying her in a serious manner while also adding a strange “lucky transformation” that felt out of place in the episode.
– The latter part of So I’m a Spider, So What is entirely focused on the large-scale battle in the light novel, but no attention was given to the battles that were supposed to be grand. It even failed to deliver a conclusive fight with the hero, yet it remains one of the most impactful animations I have ever seen, featuring a battle set in a desolate wasteland reminiscent of a scene from Morrowind.
