Hoshi no Samidare

MBS's late night anime programming block which currently airs on Saturdays from 1:55-2:55.

Whether identical, fraternal, alike or different. Whether main characters, side characters, or only in one episode, all these shows have twins.

If there are two anime in the same franchise on this list, that means there’s a new pair of twins introduced.

There is a Part 2 to the list

The YouTube channel Mother's Basement has released a number of "Worst Anime of <year>" videos wherein the host roasts (and often demolishes) the worst anime of the subject year. This interest stack is a compilation of those anime from the years 2018 thru 2022.

As formatting and links are frowned upon in interest stacks, you can find the actual review videos in my corresponding blog post. You can also just search YouTube.

Shows are listed in historical order. The year is noted and if appropriate or helpful or amusing, one or more selected quotes from the review are included as well. [I will also interject when the need/desire arises. -ed.]

2018 through 2021 are presented as a list of five worst of the year 1 (worst) > 5 (least worst)

2022 is presented as an "awards" show - not the kind of award to hope for.

I only use these reviews to help eliminate, or at least decrease the priority of, shows on my watchlist. Sadly, I'd already watched a number of these shows before I saw the reviews. I offer this stack in the hopes that some of you may spend more time watching entertaining shows by avoiding some real stinkers. Or if you enjoyed some of these, more power to you.

This is a stack of Action Anime about Magic that have an Urban Fantasy setting. Some common themes in the series might include: Magic schools, Fighting monsters, and Swordplay.

Most of these series will be set on Earth.

Only the first seasons of each series will be included.

This is a compilation of the hottest trash anime of 2022, as proclaimed by the Mother's Basement YouTube channel. This is "gaaarbaage" served fresh by "shaaay gaaarbaaage". You'll get the idea if you watch the videos or maybe you can figure it out from the shows stacked here.

"I enjoy watching trashy anime because so often it's able to surprise and delight me in ways that good anime would never even dare." -- Geoff Thew

The rating system involves waste receptacles of various sizes with various contents, usually on fire. You can decide for yourself if a dumpster fire is better or worse than a wastepaper basket fire.

There isn't a particular order or implied rank in the presentation but I'll try to keep them listed here in the order they appear.

You can find the YouTube videos in this blog post: https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=900535. There are chapter markers to help you get to specific portions of each video, though sometimes the titles are a bit cryptic.

I watched all of these anime during Summer 2022

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in Summer 2022:
Top 1 KUMICHOU MUSUME TO SEWAGAKARI, the story is about a yakuza gang member who is ordered by his boss to look after his boss's daughter, the plot is good, cool, slice of life, there are funny and sad things too
Top 2 ISEKAI YAKKYOKU is also a good story, the MC is from the modern world who dies in his sleep and then gets reincarnated into an Isekai, well the storyline is very typical of Isekai but I think it is interesting and unique because it is related to drugs, illnesses and the MC opens a pharmacy in another world and makes various kinds of medicines , it is discussed regarding tuberculosis, bubonic plague, influenza. Even though the theme is isekai historical magic, the situations and responses of the people are similar to real life situations, especially during the bubonic plague arc
Top 3 KAMI KUZU IDOL is also interesting, it's a funny story about a male idol but he doesn't intend to be an idol, he's too lazy, suddenly you can see the ghost of a female idol who is cheerful and enthusiastic, the ghost can enter the boy's body, so the guy's personality changes

Sequel:
SHADOWS HOUSE is interesting in the second part, from the first part it is also unique because the story is about life in a shadow house without a face who lives with a living doll (as the face), starting to reveal a mystery and the dark side that is in that house, the opening is also the best, it fits really well. Same as the anime story

Completed Series:
KAKEGURUI TWIN even though it only aired this season only because Netflix adapted it so the story about gambling at school immediately ended, it's a shame the ending is left hanging, the live action has come out first, the live action storyline is the same as the anime n it's more complete because there is a continuation of the ending of the anime

Movie:
CONAN MOVIE 25 about Furuya Rei's past and his friends who were in the police

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

Both the source material - manga - and the anime adaptation are done. If there is something to note, it will be written in the respective area.
"-" are informations
"+" are other adaptations such as sequels, etc.

If I am wrong about anything, please DM me, so I can correct it.

When the anime follows the path of the manga but takes a few detours along the way or decides to change the details and context.
If it makes you go "this isnt how i remember it" then it counts

Every seasonal anime I've done content rating clips for. You can find them on my X-Twitter @PokeTypeZERO (NSFW warning).
