I can deal with good anime (I love it), I can deal with bad anime (I either keep watching for how terrible it promises to turn out, or I leave and cut my losses). What I can't deal with (frustratingly so), is anime that has great promise, an interesting plot with intriguing plot devices, interesting magic systems, but instead gets bogged down in silly anime tropes such as consistent harem and ecchi gags in an unnecessary attempt to get your attention instead of fleshing out its good points.
One such anime is Seiken Tsukai no World Break. The sadness I feel when I think about how interesting the magic system is in terms of the action sequences it can set up, and how it can act as a plot device...
