Manga like "Hot Gimmick" and "bitter virgin" left much to be desired.
And what about Bitter Virgin disappointed you?
On topic, the Claymore anime disappointed me. When you can predict
everything that happens in the first episode, you know it doesn't bode too well. Death Note was also a disappointment. Multifaceted characters are interesting, so L was an interesting character, but the moment Light said, "I will be the god of the new world!" a lot of possibilities were closed and he became a one-dimensional evil villain.
Edit: Also, the Kurokami and Index animes. Kurokami diverted from the story and made the main character exceptionally useless. In Index's case, it was the combination of excessive talking, justice babbling, and just poor writing all around. Example of excessive talking is the bridge episode. Example of justice babbling is the talk between Touma and Kaori. Example of poor writing is the Angel Fall arc. Touma's father coincidentally sets up a spell from his item collection that causes an angel to fall to earth. The angel needs to destroy the world (or something like that) to return to heaven. Touma can't just kill the spell with his right hand for fear of coincidentally triggering a even bigger problem.
