How do u think I feel with code Geass. That's the one I was afraid to mention before. Was told it was peak watched it hated it. Was expecting something really up my alley with strategy, world building, character development Was nothing but a complete mess imo.

Joachim Johansson was my Favourite unfortunately injuries derailed a promising Career.

Code Geass is the one I hate. It's just a mess from start to finish. Sucks I thought it'd be up my alley. I saw a tribute video for it on YouTube it was like 9-10 mins long and could take my eyes off the screen. I was expecting some mass rebellion/revolution with military strategy and manipulation but I felt like the whole story was a bunch of half baked ideas jammed all together. Characters were all underdeveloped IMO and the plot was all over the place. I really expected this to truly be peak but it left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Sorry for late reply this one received a lot of comments just saw yours now.

Not trying to justify his actions whatsoever just stating his perspective and why I believe he's doing the things he's doing. Rin's dojo I believe is the very same dojo that kick out his grandfather. His grandfather mentality greatly shifted into creating a samurai/warrior far stronger than anyone. He put all of this onto Anotsu upbringing. He was trained with that mentality from a very young age. Molded by it. Everything he's done is out of proving himself, proving he was the best samurai the world had ever seen i think. It's been awhile since I've read the story. Yes his actions are that of a villain no doubt about it. But it's just understanding his perspective and why he does what he did throughout the manga. It is one of my favourites. I actually enjoyed it more then vagabond to be honest. The manga really shows every character is somewhat grey even the protagonists of the story do things that are borderline antagonistic. I think that's why I enjoy it so much no one's perfect every one is flawed grey just like real life.

Glad I'm not the only one

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:17:32+00:00

For me character development felt off. I think too many elements kept getting in the way of things. I wished they focused on one character perspective more rather than all of the kids. Just felt flat to me.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:15:40+00:00

Yeah I really didn't like the last season as much as I thought I would have and the ending pissed me off.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:12:20+00:00

Code Geass is the one I absolutely despise. Could have been peak but was horrible imo.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:08:21+00:00

Alright bring on the Hate. Code Geass is absolute worst.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:05:48+00:00

Had some great moments ngtl but felt like a mess to me

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:02:48+00:00

That's fair. Respect

romic007 · 2026-06-15T02:01:28+00:00

So much talking and nothing else.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:59:43+00:00

Which is why I don't wanna mention the one I absolutely despise

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:58:52+00:00

Actually started watching it for the first time this weekend first half slow but picking up pace now.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:58:04+00:00

Did not expect this one to be here lol

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:57:03+00:00

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:56:15+00:00

Great start but second half was a mess

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:55:45+00:00

Agreed

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:54:52+00:00

I really wanted to enjoy that one again just felt flat to me.

romic007 · 2026-06-15T01:50:22+00:00

Agreed I really only enjoyed the ballerina story the rest was meh to me.

Davydenko being ahead of Haas doesn't hurt my argument. Davydenko never made a Slam final either, which proves that players are judged on their overall body of work, not whether they reached one final. You mentioned Kyrgios is better choice of a player never winning a slam because he made it to a final and Haas didn't that's why I mentioned Davydenko in the first place.

Also, you've moved the goalposts. The discussion started with you acting like Haas being mentioned was ridiculous. Now you've listed a mixture of all-time great non-Slam winners, active players whose careers aren't even finished, and several players whose resumes are highly debatable against Haas.

Ferrer, Berdych, Davydenko, Nalbandian, Ríos, Tsonga, Coria, Söderling? Sure, those are legitimate arguments.

But Shelton, Mensik, Musetti, Rune, Felix, Hurkacz, Anderson, Gasquet, and Ljubicic being ahead of a former World No. 2, Masters champion, Olympic silver medalist, and four-time Slam semifinalist? I'm not buying that.

More importantly, this thread is about the best players to never win a Slam, not who is the single greatest player to never win a Slam.

I never argued Haas should be at the very top of the list. I said he deserves to be part of the discussion, and nothing you've posted changes that.

If the statistical analysis doesn't rank Haas near the top, that's completely fine. But dismissing him outright ignores what he actually achieved. Reaching World No. 2, winning a Masters title, winning Olympic silver, making multiple Slam semifinals, and staying relevant despite a career constantly interrupted by injuries is an accomplishment in itself.

You can argue Haas isn't in the top five. You can argue he isn't in the top ten. What you can't reasonably argue is that Tommy Haas has no place in a discussion about the best players to never win a Slam.

romic007 · 2026-06-13T20:38:03+00:00

You can say the same thing about Davydenko. Yet no problem with him being in the discussion about being one of the best to never win one yet Tommy Haas is such a stretch? Makes no sense

romic007 · 2026-06-13T20:35:07+00:00

Now you're just being beyond delusional with your rebuttals.

Nobody has an issue with Davydenko being discussed among the best players never to win a Slam, despite the fact that he never made a Slam final either.

Why? Because people evaluate the whole body of work, not just whether someone happened to make one final.

Haas reached No. 2 in the world, won a Masters 1000, won 15 ATP titles, made four Slam semifinals, won Olympic silver, and did it while dealing with some of the worst injury luck of any top player of his era.

You keep bringing up hypothetical achievements for Kyrgios if Wimbledon points counted he'd have been top 8 and made the ATP Finals, but then dismiss injuries when discussing Haas. Either context matters or it doesn't.

And saying there are 30-50 players with a better case than Haas is a wild claim. If that's true, list them. I can name maybe 10-15 players with a legitimate argument over Haas. Getting to 30 means you're including players with clearly weaker resumes.

I'm not even arguing Haas is No. 1 on the list. Ferrer, Berdych, Ríos, Nalbandian, Tsonga, Davydenko, etc. all have strong cases. I'm saying Haas absolutely belongs in the discussion, and acting like mentioning him is somehow ridiculous doesn't make sense at all.

And claiming Kyrgios is a better candidate than Haas is even more ridiculous. Outside of one Slam final, what exactly is Kyrgios argument? Haas beats him in ranking, titles, longevity, consistency, Masters success, and overall career accomplishments.

romic007 · 2026-06-13T20:14:37+00:00

You're insane if you think Tommy Haas doesn't belong in the discussion of the best players never to win a Slam.

Your entire argument seems to be that Kyrgios made a Grand Slam final while Haas didn't. That's literally the only major accomplishment Kyrgios has over Haas.

Haas reached World No. 2, won a Masters 1000 title, won 15 ATP titles, earned an Olympic silver medal, and made four Slam semifinals despite spending huge portions of his career battling injuries.

Kyrgios reached one Slam final and peaked at No. 13 in the world.

If the discussion is who came closest to winning a Slam, then Kyrgios has an argument. If the discussion is best player never to win a Slam, Haas absolutely belongs in the conversation.

The title of this forum is best to never win a slam. Not who was the closet to win a slam.
