Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

----

* [[Ruined FOREVER|This trope]] caused the [[Broken Base]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': when it moved into the second half, many of the more traditional shounen fans claimed it was [[Ruined FOREVER]] because of being.... ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The base broke even further due to ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' later, which some saw as an example of a [[Trolling Creator]].

** Fundamentally, ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' forms an alternate ending for the series, along with the updated "video & LD versions" of episodes 21 through 24. Fans do exist who would have preferred that NGE ended with its television broadcast of the original ending, some considering the updated ending to be unnecessary retcon that soils interpretation of the show.

** If the [[Rebuild of Evangelion|new Evangelion movies]] (the fan-branded "Rebuild") end up being connected ''in-universe'' to the original Evangelion series, many Eva fans will cry out "RUINED FOREVER" in a singular voice so terrible that it will knock the planet off-axis.

* At what point was ''[[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]]'' [[Ruined FOREVER]] for people looking for a hard sci-fi mecha series? Was it Roots of Ambition where Chirico survived a shot in his heart due to Perfect Survivor status? Was it The Shining Heresy where Chirico was [[Born Lucky]] enough to do a crazy ricochet fluke shot into the Order Buckler's cockpit and destroying Teitania's Auxillary Brain, Was it the newer OVAs such as Pailsen Files and Phantom Arc for Sunrise copping out on [[Conspicuous CG|dodgy computer-generated ATs]] and it basically amounting to needless padding on Chirico's backstory, Some even claim that VOTOMS wasn't very realistic to begin with when the Quent arc rolled around and [[The Reveal]] happened. for bonus points, mention the phrase "Child of God." as that aspect of Chirico's character is a sore spot with many fans.

* ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'': What the?! The Digidestined in this series transform into the Digimon?! And there's no real partner dynamic?!

** There was also a ''massive outcry'' at the [[Replacement Scrappy|cast reboot]] in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]''? Not to mention the fact that [[Digimon Adventure|the original]] was a [[Show Within a Show]] there.

** [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-04-05/new-digital-monsters/digimon-tv-anime-image-posted Another Digimon season this July?] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|Yay!]] But what's this? The [[Goggles Do Nothing|Goggle boy]] is the only human featured? And why does he look like the love child of Tai and Davis ([[Ho Yay|Dream come true in certain circles]])? The Digimon on the right looks like [[Monster Rancher (Anime)|Tiger]] and all of the Digimon's designs look like they come from a generic [[Bakugan|Toyetic anime.]] What's a [[Mecha|mecha-looking]] Digimon doing there? And Greymon again?!

** Then there's - "{{spoiler|Sai told Sakura Naruto loves her... WHAT ABOUT HINATA?!?}}"

** The {{spoiler|instant revival of everyone who died during the Invasion of Pain Arc pissed off many fans. Of course, the fans were also pissed when everyone died so now they're thought of as unpleasable.}}

*** Unfortunately, Touma has a working relationship with Subaru...oh shit...

** Some argue that ''[[Striker S (Anime)|Striker S]]'' ruined the series forever, particularly by [[Demoted to Extra|drastically reducing certain characters' screentime]], [[Put On a Bus|if not writing them out entirely]] (Particularly [[Romantic Runner Up|Yuuno]]).

** "''FORCE'' is no longer a magical girl show! RAEG!"

** [[Badass Decay|What have they done to]] {{spoiler|Signum and Hayate}}!? God damn you, this is no longer Nanoha!

** There was also a case of this during the Deicide in which the "fans" had a problem with, wait for it..., the name; complaining endlessly that Tite is an idiot who couldn't spell the word decide right. Said "fans" tended to ignore the possibility that Deicide could possibly be a word itself and didn't even bother to do a simple Google search to do the research. Like the above example very few retracted their statements. It pains this troper how little common sense and basic dignity is left in the Bleach Fandom nowadays, though granted, of cource, that these are only the vocal minority.

* Some people say that {{spoiler|L's death}} did this to ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''.

* A second season for the anime ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'' was announced... featuring an original new protagonist and Butler not from the previous season or manga, and not Ciel and Sebastian. Cue the wailing of thousands of yaoi fangirls around the internet. Which, as it later turned out, was A-1 Pictures just trolling the fandom.

* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' started getting these accusations once {{spoiler|Portgas D. Ace bit the dust, breaking the tradition of not killing named characters, except in flashbacks, that was maintained for 13 years of publication.}}

** Named characters '''have''' died, there had just been too many Disney Deaths.

** And then, after {{spoiler|there was confirmation of a [[Time Skip]] happening, it started rising again.}}

* Parodied in ''[[Darker Than Black (Anime)|Darker Than Black]]'' with Kiko and her otaku friend. After months of giddy anticipation over the next release of their favorite anime, they storm out in anger over how it's [[Ruined FOREVER]], and Kiko ''will not let the director get away with this''!

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]'' was [[Wham Episode|such a shift in demeanor]] from the much darker ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'' that much of the fandom [[Fanon Discontinuity|would prefer not to think it happened.]]
