It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

What's the worst example of an anime fumbling the story? (beehaw.org)

You get settled in, enjoy whats shaping up to be a great series, look forward to seeing what happens with the characters once they're introduced ... aaand the writing trips over it's own feet and faceplants into the ground like so many defeated enemies.
What's the worst one out there, and what happened to it?

Promised Neverland, though I only watched the first season due to how much they changed for the worse in season 2. I've read most of the manga so I knew what was supposed to happen, but I've never got around to finishing it.

I thing that was so frustrating about season 2 was that they were leaving breadcrumbs, clues, and hints that in fact things ARE different. Characters werent just conspicuously absent, there was scrawling on the walls stating that they left.

It felt like the series was going to dive into some multiverse/time travel/alternate reality/reality warping shenanigans and do things a little differently than the manga while still tying into the original . Then the anime wasted a lot of time, skipped ahead a bit and resolved the majority of the manga in the form of a slideshow.

I really wonder what happened during production to lead to this change and issue and why the series just ended the way it did.

I've not seen it myself, but I've read the story ... IIRC nobody knows what actually happened, there's been no information from those involved and the only public info was regarding staff changes (which didn't help deduce anything either)

I'm reading the manga right now, and was curious about the anime, but judging by everything I've heard about it, I think I'm going to skip it. A shame, because a well done adaptation would make some of the action scenes a little easier to follow.
