Let me see,
lost song is a unique experience unlike any other, it is so entirely devoid of any redeeming qualities that watching it becomes disorienting, as if it distorted reality itself it with its badness
it is consistently awful minute to minute, never a dull moment, in fact watching it is like getting your delicate brains repeatedly poked with a porcupine quill, it will make you laugh but its more the kind of mirthless desperate laughter of getting strung up and tickled with a feather in a dark, dark dungeon
it is a show about song, and the singers are bad, and the songs are bad, and

~ if junji itos wet dream happened in the komi-san universe ~
i dont know what the genre its technically supposed to be but there is so much humor packed into every scenario, every running gag, every face, it goes above and beyond while maintaining some semblance of coherent logic and overarching plot so i will maintain the stance that it is a comedy series if only because its hard to maintain a stiffie if you're scrunched up laughing if you've parsed through enough lewd nonsense, and has witnessed eromanga sensei press its groin onto the necks of giants to mark the newest peak of casual degeneracy ...

this is my favorite bad anime because it never bothers to pretend like it ever had any potential that was squandered by its execution, no hidden potential that could have been drawn out of it, no vision butchered beyond recognition. its badness is not jarring because it is consistently always bad, so much so that any moment of quality would have ruined the perfect harmony. the pacing is consistently strange but you wont find yourself slacking through it, because every episode is jampacked with fresh nonsense and if proper setup and execution requires any boring downtime whatsoever it has been cut in favor of a

You know how romance anime tends to capitalize on the main couple-to-be? because they're the only interesting characters in the whole story because of their high concept? because nothing exists in a relationship past the confession? because they have to stretch it out and keep publishing chapters for their one successful title?
At a first glance, it may look like one of those high-concept romance stories, with the mutual secrecy and the 'class hierachy' between the two. However, everything reminiscent of a cliche gets resolved quickly and satisfactorily, and only serves to kickstart the story. For once, you shouldnt judge a romance story by its cover, because ...

Violet Evergarden
(Anime)
add
Be advised; this anime is probably gonna be hit or miss. either you will enjoy it very much, or find it very dull. if you like anime similar to Girls Last Tour and other slow, thoughtful shows, you may enjoy this anime to unwind to. it's only getting stronger every episode, and some drama seems to be brewing
What is it? it's a series of little tales, not about the main character Violet, but those around her. Violet herself is dull, and her personal growth is perhaps slower than it could have been, but her job is to act as a foil. through her, we see things ...

If you were to ask me what i just read, i'm no sure how i'd put it
i needed something different from what i normally read, so i found this obscure random thing, and started reading, thinking, 'this seems dubious, dark and possibly smutty', and i was fine with the prospect of some emotional smutty vampire s&m garbage with some supernatural bs, you know? it's not what i got. it was so classical a story about vampires, some biblical undertones, vampire hunters, the church, amoral science, creepy kids, but it was executed with a mixture of maturity and childishness. the main characters were mature people, as though they ...

I'm on my fourth rewatch, and it still fills me with a nice and warm sense of happiness
It is a form of realistic cuteness, which you wouldn't expect to work, but it does. Not in spite of it, but because of it. It just hits you unexpectedly, because you've never seen anything like it before, because there is nothing like it. So give it a shot, if only out of curiosity. There isn't much to say about it; polite and adorable child gets 'adopted' by busy guy, and together they work out all the mundane problems of life... Their interactions are so heartwarming and above all, earnest. ...

Let's make this brief;
This is a show you can safely show to your little innocent cousins. What you see on the box, is pretty much what it is. It doesn't do a Madoka Magica on you. It doesn't shift its genre. It stays true to what it is, throughout the whole; a fairytale about hope and love and dancing and fate and sociopathic sidekicks. What makes it so unexpectedly popular and enjoyable is the execution. Every character sparkles a little more, surprises you, engages you, more than you'd expect, even though it stays true to spirit. The story is clever in such a non-obvious obvious way that ...

I saw the ending coming, and I still cried for like 40 minutes straight during the last two episodes, and that is -not- normal for me.
Who could have possibly thought that music is a fantastic medium for conveying feelings? The animation is bright and gorgeous, complimenting the liveliness of its characters and drawing you in. It is utterly pleasant, and will brighten your mood in its first half. The anime is worth a watch for its music alone. The recordings are fantastically clear, the interpretations stand strong on their own, the music choices and performances are all full of personality. With the sparkly animation, you get a ...

The best way to make the plain old moe highschool trope work, is by adding a shitton of contrast.
The two sides of the story is handled both uniquely and well. So well, that the serious side (spoiler: its zombies.) could have made a refreshing survival series on its own. The Moe moe highschool fun part greatly benefits from the setting (confined to highschool) but even so, it might be able to stand on its own against all the other such anime. So, it is the best of both worlds, complimenting each other, and making a delicious series. Animation is adorable/grim, solid, the pacing is devilishly well done (encourages ... |
