* Fans of the original ''[[
* [[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.
Line 11:
** 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.
** [[Digimon Savers|Marcus]] doesn't wear [[Goggles Do Nothing|GOGGLES?!]] The characters are OLDER than 12?! The animation is more anime-y? [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|AGUMON'S NOSTRILS ARE FEATURELESS POLKADOTS?!]] Say it isn't so!
** [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 (
* ''[[Naruto]]'': Most commonly Sasuke [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|being the focus of an entire arc]] (especially the part about {{spoiler|[[Shocking Swerve|Itachi being a good guy]]}}). Honestly, it has such an [[Unpleasable Fanbase]] you can find someone that thinks the series [[Jumped the Shark]] at any moment, usually in the form of "(Character X) [[Out of Focus|hasn't done anything in months]], it's ruined!" Additionally, there's also a segment of the fandom that has said the [[Time Skip]] was when they stopped liking it, [[Selective Obliviousness|even if most of what they're complaining about didn't happen until quite a while after or had been happening for a while before the time skip itself]] and they more or less seem to just be trying to focus their scorn on something important.
** 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.}}
** The announcement that ''[[Naruto]] Shippuden'' would air on [[Disney XD]] has obviously not been taken well in certain parts of its [[Fan Dumb|fandom]]. Despite the fact that [[Viz Media]] will still be releasing uncut DVDs, so even if it does turn out to be a [[Macekre]] there won't be that much reason to complain. As can be seen with Marvel below, just being associated with Disney is prone to bring in the ruins.
* The ''[[Pokémon (
** The dubbing of the show also got this claim after it went in-house, mainly due to the resulting voice actor switch. Yes, that's right, [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] ''losing'' the rights to the show ruined it FOREVER. Wonders never cease.
*** That had less to do with 4Kids itself than with the [[The Other Darrin|jarring changes made]] to the voices of characters that fans had become adjusted to. That said, it still fits this trope to a "T".
Line 22:
** And now for something not related to the voice actors: OMG they changed the "TO BE CONTINUED" text! And the title of the episode was written in English instead of Japanese with English subtitles! So were the credits! The anime is ruined FOREVER!
** Some Team Rocket fans claimed the trio was ruined FOREVER!! when Jessie and James were given black uniforms and a serious promotion, along with a new serious-business attitude. In reality, they were made [[Badass]] and much more awesome, especially since Team Rocket had [[Overused Running Gag|stopped being funny years ago]].
*** In fact, the tiniest change to the ''[[Pokémon (
* To expand on that, parts of the online fandom of any given anime tends to say that ''any'' anime that gets [[Subbing Versus Dubbing|dubbed into English]] (no matter how faithfully), is "ruined", despite the fact that no one's ever going to force them to actually ''listen'' to the English audio.
** Even though the Ghibli dubs are generally respected, there are some so-called "true fans" who insist on hating them simply because they're by Disney, and they object to any change to the dialogue, music, that may have been done to these films, stating that these movies have all been destroyed; an argument which is totally fatuous considering that Miyazaki and Ghibli were both involved with the creation of the dubs. If they don't think their works are ruined, who are such "fans" to say otherwise?
Line 28:
*** Speaking of that one: Disney let the younger siblings of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers voice-act Ponyo and Sousuke (respectively) in the English dub of ''[[Ponyo On a Cliff By The Sea]]''? Cue building nerdrage via [[Periphery Hatedom]] by proxy.
** And on the flipside, with the anime industry scrambling to salvage itself and still turn a profit while still trying to license a diverse bunch of shows, several "niche" shows are being released sub-only. You know, the kinds of shows that put even a large studio like [[Geneon]] out of business because the dub cost so much the show didn't turn a profit. Anime is now ruined FOREVER because the industry is "[[Flipping the Bird|discriminating]]" against dub fans. Strangely, nobody thinks the industry is ruined FOREVER because of the ongoing recession.
* The ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' fandom is apparently the [[Distaff Counterpart]] of the ''Transformers'' fandom or something, judging by the [[Internet Backdraft]] that occurs every time the premise of the next series is revealed without fail, complete with one subset that everything needs to go back to the way it was in [[Futari wa Pretty Cure|2004]]. When your fandom complains about ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star]]'' for being an [[Alternate Continuity]], then complains about ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Yes! Pretty Cure 5GoGo!]]'' for ''not'' being an [[Alternate Continuity]]...
* It appears to be very common in mainstream mecha anime. Fans have found something to complain about ''in every single episode'' for ''[[Code Geass]]'', ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', with the amount of ruin escalating the higher the episode count is.
** ''[[Code Geass]] R2'' in particular has the series FOREVER at least once per episode, according to some [[Fan Dumb|Fan Dumbs]].
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': Yes, even this! {{spoiler|Kamina's death is proclaimed this by some}}. This sentiment usually disappears after they see the rest of the series, and some have since even considered it [[Growing the Beard|the point after which the show got better]].
Line 36:
** Erstwhile members of the [[Yuri Fan|Lily Appreciation Society]] need not abandon ''all'' hope; a girl named Lily has been named as co-protagonist. [[Meaningful Name|Coincidence?]]
*** Unfortunately, Touma has a working relationship with Subaru...oh shit...
** Some argue that ''[[
*** It should also be noted that fans of the [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|Nanoha/Fate pairing]] who RAGE at having a male protagonist in the ''Force'' manga actually ''adore'' and ''worship'' StrikerS for making the heroines [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|share a bed]], have six-year-old [[Clone Jesus|Vivio]] [[Has Two Mommies|call both of them 'mama']] and, thanks to the [[Audio Adaptation|sound stages]], be called 'The Takamachi Family'. Not to mention that they are very glad about the [[Put
** "''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!
Line 50:
**** This has not been stressed enough. Every time something happens in Bleach, it's ruined forever. Starrk didn't kill a billion Captains? He was pointless. Ulquiorra is popular? He's being milked. People expected more of the Vasto Lordes? Kubo overhyped them. The Fake Karakura Town Arc? Too much fighting, not enough character development. The beginning of the Lost Agent Arc? This is so slow it's worse than filler! Kyoraku didn't reveal his Bankai & that's terrible, but the series should have ended anyway. The point here is that the fanbase is unpleasable.
** 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 ''[[
* Some sections of the ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro
* A second season for the anime ''[[
* ''[[
** 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.}}
** Some people complained about Hancock falling in love with Luffy because it would ruin the series being strictly [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]. Thankfully, this was averted.
* Oh cool, [[Sarcasm Mode|FINALLY]] there will be a LatAm dub for ''[[Dragonball Z Kai]]''. Oh wait... there were economic issues? Half of the original [[Voice Actor|VAs]] refused to dub? [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|THEY WERE REPLACED BY COMPLETE STRANGERS?! INCLUDING THE SINGER?!!]]

** Although we got [[Heroes (TV series)|Peter Petrelli]] voicing Wolverine instead.
** Heck, the ''entire idea'' of Marvel Anime (having popular Marvel superheroes in anime style made by [[Madhouse]]) may be seen as '''RUINED FOREVER''' by many anime and Marvel fans alike, mainly because having popular American superheroes in Japanese anime style is seen not to fit well with each other. Of course, the reception of the Marvel anime idea received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.
* Woohoo! Bandai Entertainment licensed ''[[
* After seeing just ONE episode of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro
