Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, which existed primarily this year even though it started in 2011. It was a series that could have been absolutely amazing, but ended up merely being 'pretty good, I guess.' It's certainly not without its good points, and Flit is a fascinating character, but it fell far short of its potential.
Hiiro no Kakera also qualifies. I like the main heroine a lot, and I enjoyed myself somewhat watching the show, but I found it rather dull to the point where I honestly just couldn't muster up the motivation to watch the second season.
Those are the only two this year that fell short of my expectations; every other anime either met my expectations or surpassed them. (There's some series that I don't exactly adore, such as Rinne no Lagrange which, like Archon, I only have a tepid appreciation for; but I wouldn't call them disappointing because I never expected anything but a lukewarm response.)
