Sirius the Jaeger
A total bait and switch of an anime. It wasn't bad... But it's heavily implied that the main character is some kind of werewolf... So... I watch the whole thing... Waiting for him to activate his werewolf-mode... And as I'm watching I think "Well, their probably going to save it for, like, the climactic final battle or something" and... I WAS RIGHT! That's EXACTLY what happened... BUT... He doesn't transform into a fucking werewolf! Like... At all! Now... I know what you're thinking... "How is it possible that you were right about them saving his werewolf-mode for the climactic finale if he doesn't turn into a werewolf? If he doesn't transform into a werewolf, you weren't right! You can't be right AND wrong! That violates the law of non-contradiction! I'm a fucking bible-nerd!" That's the mind-fuck! His werewolf-mode is, like, his eyes glowing or something but he doesn't actually become a werewolf in any way, shape, or form! So you're sitting there, like, watching this show and the whole time they're bludgeoning you with the insinuation that this guy both is and WILL TRANSFORM INTO A WEREWOLF and this motherfucker activates his fucking "mode" and he proceeds to not become a wolf-man hybrid type creature AT ALL! He just smells good... Or... Well. He smells well throughout the show. That's it! It's like that fucking french Sherlock Holmes-esque detective show were he fucking smells shit. God, why is everything like that french detective show now!?
Hym "I mean... It's almost worth watching Sirius the Jaeger just to see him NOT turn into a werewolf. It isn't bad by any means. It kind of drones-on towards the end of the series but you know what would have fixed that? A CLIMACTIC SHOWDOWN WITH THE MAIN VAMPIRE ANTAGONIST WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER TURNS INTO A FUCKING WEREWOLF!!! By the time they get to the flashback his tragic backstory (which is about 60% of the way through the show) I'm sitting there like 'Ok... Now turn into a werewolf! Show his family, like, fighting off the vampires by turning into a werewolf! Yes, very sad, now transform into a werewolf!' And it just doesn't happen! And then it DOES HAPPEN! But it doesn't happen AT ALL! Like, not even a little bit! The didn't even bother to do a Supernatural, half-werewolf transformation! His eyes just glow or something or, like, it's heavily implied that he has activated his werewolf powers in, like, a new way that was out of his reach until the final showdown! His nails could have grown! ANYTHING could have happened! Even Inuyasha's nails grew! And he's just a dog man!"
