Not technically anime but I just watched blue eye samurai. It had some solid potential but IMO became trash. There was so much wrong with every later fight scene. People punching when they could have just stabbed them, people throwing the enemy when they had them completely beaten and were choking them, the bad guy just putting away his sword and never using it again half way through the fight. One or two of these things would be annoying but they were just constant. The plot around akemi also felt completely pointless and out of place for the setting. The comic relief no finger guy also served zero purpose.

It's like the show wanted to be samurai kill bill but also kung fu panda and sort ruined both aspects by poorly marrying the two which is a shame because there were great moments and pretty good fights in parts of the show. If they had just picked one tone and stuck to it, it could have been great.
