Chapter 61- Chapter 108 of Gantz

The latter half of these chapters is just to dark for me, but the majority of these chapters just contain characters that would have, could have, and should have been developed more than they were, being killed off. Hell, even one of the central main characters is killed off in this arc. Not only that, but all these characters don't even go out in a blaze of glory, they just take one hit from the magical statue thing's many weapons and that's it, all the dramatic introductions, relationships, and plot developments these characters brought along are completely erased. They don't even give you the bare minimum when it comes to Gantz deaths, and that's gore. Definitely the most disappointing arc in any manga I've ever read.

I hate on this chapter whenever I get the chance, and it's starting to annoy even me, but Hunter x Hunter Chapter 299 was the worst excuse for a chapter I have ever read.

You don't even have to know what's going on in the manga at that point to read it. It's full of sketchy drawings and blatant homosexual subtext about male characters "tasting" each other (this is a Weekly Shonen Jump manga, mind you) that came out of freaking nowhere.

Just to be clear, you've read all of Gantz right? Because I decided to stick through with the series and looking back at those chapters you've listed I don't have a problem with them anymore.

As for my own selection: every single chapter of the entire Hueco Mundo/Arrancar arc. Poorly written, poorly paced, poorly executed and poorly concluded.

The chapter in One Piece where we find out about Nami's past. It felt like Oda was just snapping logic in half just to manipulate the audience's emotions.

The probably the exact point where I started developing a grudge against the series.[/i]

Well yeah, they do fix most of the issues i had with those chapters, but that dosn't make killing off tons of characters,spoiler[ most of whom aren't revived later on] justifiable. It's just that, Gantz had some absolutely fantastic arcs, so it's kind of a shame to have such a crappy arc, especially towards the beginning of the manga.

I've never been a big fan of that chapter either, too much melodrama.

Snapping logic in half? So, Nami's own mother being killed in front of her eyes and having to work for the very person who killed her is snapping logic in half?!
The stupidity of your comment is almost baffling.

On topic, I hate most of the recent chapters in Bleach. Why the hell is this series still ongoing?

Spoiler tags would've been nice.

Yeah, this. Wtf? All of the main characters have some sort of tragedy in their pasts, how is Nami's more 'melodramatic' or baffling?

The last half of Bunny Drop, I couldn't finish it after I read parts of it online. After book 4 it started to suck. I can't believe it ended like it did even though it was amazing for the first four books. It breaks my heart that such a amazing manga could end the way it did.

One recent manga chapter that I just hate with a passion is Fairy Tail 255. For those familiar with what's going on in the manga you'll probably understand and it doesn't help that I haven't particularly enjoyed the past arc.

Those who read the series know what was happening while on Tenrou island and I have to say it is by far one of the laziest written arcs I've ever read in a shounen manga series. The way Hiro Mashima resolves everything in this arc is pretty much through because there is literally no consequence to whatever happens during this arc. Now I know D.E.M isn't anything new to find in a shounen series but it gets really tiresome when every issue is resolved through this plot device the ENTIRE arc.

D.E.M in shounen series didn't bug so much until this arc because as improbably and contrived as I've found other shounen series to be with the way things are resolved, this is the worst case ever. It literally got to the point where because I already knew something was going to turn things around it just became a matter of guessing who would come to the rescue in their time of need. Because of that it got to the point that during the fights I was just so bored reading the chapters because there really wasn't a point to reading them knowing that no matter what happens in them and how badly the heroes are losing, something will come up to save them. It didn't help that the fights weren't that interesting to begin with and everything just became predictable.

But 255 was the cherry on the cake as a big eff you to readers. It has to be mentioned just how pointless and seemingly useless the current time skip is and because of that I've nearly given up on this series. I was just extremely disappointed with how Mashima decided to use the time skip because the way he used it these past few chapters feels like nothing more than a gimmick because other Shounen series have done it as well.
