why would they do this to me personally

the characters are likable and they do some cool stuff w the animation, interested where this will go

over halfway yippee

i like the groove the show is settling into. more focused than the first few eps

this show is just so cozy i love the characters

its stupid, absurd, and retro, which naturally means i love it

it captures a lot of emotions in a way that feels extremely real, the characters are all incredible

I didn't have any plans of watching this, but i'm glad i did it's a riot, i'm gonna miss my weekly dose of this

this was so cute and cozy i had a great time

it's mostly mid with a bad ending but theres a few banger episodes mixed in there and it was entertaining

inconsistent as all fuck. horribly paced.

this is dumb but funny so

was a good rewatch, really unique brand of comedy that i love bogged down by some gross tropes endemic to the genre

the manga's better but it's a great adaptation nonetheless

equal parts irreverent and melancholic, perfect execution of difficult premises

good, couldve been better at the beginning though

if i could delete hachikuji from this show i would in a heartbeat, probably never watching the rest stop sexualizing children challenge

yes i did watch this as a joke but have you considered it's adorable

objectivity means nothing to me this shit bangs

the hit episodes are HITS, i still rewatch parts from time to time

i get that MAL is not the audience for a slow, subtle, gay drama but 5.7 is actually criminal like stop lying, ok the ending IS really bad but the rest is fantastic

objectively a show that i watched

i can never rewatch this because i guarantee i would like it less but it's ok

amazing what a bad ending can ruin

just not all that compelling

a series of fun, good moments strung together by a disaster of a plot

please. no more public confessions. i cant do it

i havent actually watched this show, this is my entry for scott pilgrim takes off until they add it. anyways scott pilgrim takes off is wonderful and i highly recommend it to anyone

a boring candy advertisement carried by its characters

i like the twist what can i say

despite some continuity issues it's just such a wild ride

who thought this would work as an anime lol just play the game

sweet and charming, we need more anime about adults

crazy how they wrote 18 episodes of competent drama and 6 episodes of sci fi nonsense that culminates in an unsatisfying, undeserved, and extremely rushed ending

few series can walk the line of episodic and overarching plots, but this one utilizes the concept to its maximum potential

went into this thinking "oh it cant be as bad as everyone says" and i was correct. it's worse. complete waste of an admittedly strong premise

it's fine i guess. very unique art style but kinda lacking in the plot department

it's old and it really shows, but it's still enjoyable

so cozy and the opening bops to this day

while not quite hitting the heights of the manga, it captures its story in the short runtime quite well and remains as touching as ever

mostly just unfocused. entire episodes are wasted on subplots that go nowhere, the entire romance aspect could and should have been dropped, and the utterly massive timeskip before you even really get to know the characters makes it hard to connect with the ending

so creative and entertaining, need another season desperately

cute, sad, funny, just the total package really

derivative but has its moments

banger character designs and consistently funny

im ordering the creators to take several female anatomy courses and maybe sexual harassment training

cute and refreshingly lacking in the worst indulgences of BL as a genre

i cannot claim to understand what they were going for but it sure was pretty

i liked it :)
was it good? well thats not what i said

one day i'll remember to finish the whole series but this season alone is so special to me

it has a lot of tone issues and i didn't love the ending, but the pretty art and methodical pacing make it worthwhile

huh

despite being slightly a mess, i look upon it fondly

no comment

not bad in fact pretty enjoyable, but disappointing. it's a show i want to like but has so many small issues that they pile up to the point it hurts my enjoyment

it's just so unbelievably peak... it gets across more character depth across an entire band in 13 episodes than a lot of shows could do in 50

this the kinda show that reminds you life is worth living. that inspirational shit that really brings light to the world around you and has you saying sappy nonsense for days after you finish it. peak.

don’t let other people ruin your life, ruin it yourself by watching hibike euphonium. i sobbed a lot thank you for the past almost 10 years kyoani

after a rewatch, i think i underrated this. functionally, the 2nd year story just isn't that important and could borderline be skipped entirely, so this does a good job of still conveying that passage of time while still progressing the themes of the rest of the series

the ending was a bit odd but the character writing and animation were perfection as always. i could not be more ready for season 3 if i tried

a cute lil extra episode nothing groundbreaking but a good insight into hazuki's character

just some silly lil shorts but i could watch these characters do anything

gross.

such good characters, yes even the gremlin at the center of it all

equal parts hilarious and heartwarming

adorable but randomly has one truly terrible scene amidst an otherwise alright show

advertisement? yes! but i hold it in high regard even if no one else agrees

trans rights!!, actually manages to improve on the manga just by trimming the fat to only the moments with the most depth

nothing new but executed well enough for me to not care

i don't think i can ever disentangle my nostalgia from this, but i love it dearly

despite having basically 0 understanding of game balance, it captures the FEELING of rpgs better than any of its contemporaries and is super cute all the while

i gotta stop watching things as a joke man

a fun time with some creative ideas. the premise is easy to dunk on but they do a lot with it so i'm happy i watched

the more time passes, the more fondly i look back on this show. it’s something wholly unique.

creative, respectful, and exciting. kind of odd ending but overall pretty good and handled a lot of tough themes with grace.

how do you make a death game this unbelievably boring, i wanted to go in with an open mind but man this show has a bad reputation for a REASON

yawn

aggressively fine. some good vibes and fun moments but ultimately dull and generic

such a special show, heartwarming and realistic while still fun and whimsical

god i love early kaguya

it's silly fun but sometimes thats exactly what the doctor ordered

it's entertaining but it's also barely even a prologue. i enjoyed the pacing but considering they only had 6 episodes i wish they had sped through things more

the stakes are higher, the animation is better, the characters have more depth, and it’s all in all exactly what i’d want in a second season

a good middle surrounded by a pretty meh beginning and end. weird tone and writing but (mostly) good pacing carries it

makoto shinkai you bastard

cute!

sometimes things that go against your morals are still fun in their own way

stupid fun. not something i would ever watch today but years later some of the jokes still linger in me

a bumpy start that leads to a beautiful story, even if not a particularly unique one

palpably manipulative, we really shouldn't have let "manic pixie terminally ill girl" catch off like it did

slow, subtle character development and wholesome fun

some of the most lovable characters in the history of anime. chizuru is the character ever

heavyhanded? yes. comically edgy? yes. a good ass time? hell yeah

fitting 60 odd chapters into a couple hours is a monumental task and they did a pretty great job all things considered

has not aged well, which is saying a lot when it wasn't very good in the first place

one of few unethical romance series that actually examines its premise and comes to the correct conclusion that the main characters cannot get together

as with all mari okada scripts, it's a bit much. but also as with all mari okada scripts, i ate it up

a fun romcom with a disappointing ending

poor writing direction and pacing, i don't really WANT to watch season 2 but the ending is literally not an ending

i have my misgivings with it but i can't help but love it

an interesting rotoscoped horror short series that includes a lot of interesting production details in the credits

a little too up its own ass to be the compelling mystery it wants to be, but the characters are fascinating and well-designed

beautiful direction and a bittersweet ending all make this a series that is unparalleled as a drama

kinda hard to follow by the end but layton :)

sasuga trigger or whatever

just such a deeply affecting movie. the second time around i noticed even more things i loved. there really is just so much to be said about the parallels and symbolism stuffed into this 90 minute film where really not much happens

do you like shitty CG and non-canon gay people because I've got an anime for you

love live hits its stride and really nails the character writing here

an interesting continuation of mu's' legacy that retreads similar ground but in a new way. it never hits the highs that the original did, but it still is enjoyable on its own merits.

this is really where the commercialization of the series become clear. character writing falls off in favor of gimmicks to pander to the lowest common denominator

love live's magnum opus. it's a shame they will never reach these heights again.

absurdly bad but that makes it a spectacle in its own right

the cast is very cute and a lot of the jokes are funny, but in the 2nd half it borderline forgets it's a comedy and the serious stuff just isn't interesting at all

holds a special place in my heart. i can't recommend it now, but being there for that week by week insanity was an experience that cannot be replicated

one of those shows i always find myself coming back to. the characters are so fun and vibrant, even when the story loses the thread sometimes.

uncomplicated and hilarious

weirdly adorable and such an attention to detail with the character designs

i am SHOCKED i had such a good time with this. it's stupid, it's flawed, it's got a very large barrier to entry, but i had a lot of fun

didn't elicit many strong feelings but it's cute

a cute good time

improves on the original in every way, such a great story

banger op, anime fans please be normal just once so i don't keep getting tricked into watching shit like this

it's funny for what it is. the game it's based on sucks tho lmaooo

one of those shows that was likely extremely inappropriate looking back, but i can never take back the enjoyment 14 year old me had with it.

no way should middle school me have ever been allowed to watch this, but i remember it being hilarious

like dagashi kashi but with drinks and also it's actually good

it's cute but the animation is weird and it's kinda boring

i just fuckin love project sekai man, some of the episodes are misses but the average episode was pretty funny

don't remember it great but i think it was ok

i love everything about this show, even things other people may deem as problems

silly

the characters are nice, and the atmosphere is fucking incredible but there's a lot of little things that make it a little worse than it could be

one of the most baffling things ive ever watched. it never attempts to tie any of its concepts together and it results in a poor imitation of great idol and sports anime that came before it

after waiting years for an adaptation, they really nailed it.

crams way too much into just 4 episodes, just read the manga at this point

i really wish this show had stuck the landing because it's a great time and the animation is INSANE but that ending... yeesh (also 100% stand by my polycule theory)

has its moments in the business side of the show but super by the numbers from the sports angle. also the animation is sometimes VERY ugly

a great slow paced mystery drama that needed more time to find its footing

more of an experience than a coherent narrative, but that just makes the themes shine even more

so chaste and restrained that there's just an entire stretch of episodes where nothing happens. they should have wrapped up the plot this entire season covers in 6 episodes max.

gets boring after a while but picks up a bit at the end

crass, tropey and pretentious, but it has its moments

excellent soundtrack and surprisingly great plot for a card game anime

everything the first season did right and then some

i can excuse the jokes being tired because the characters are adorable

adorable and full of heart, not often i enjoy a sports anime

extremely needless finale but god what a riot

gets everything right, it's rare that a slice of life anime has such a great ability to carry a storyline across over 20 episodes

it was a different time ok (aka i was a teenager)

unique, funny, whimsical, all the things i like in a show wrapped up in one

an ikuhara inspired idol-style anime just feels like something destined to work, it left me wanting even more

somehow it feels like i just drank a strong sake.
it's rare to see something that has truly never been done before, but this movie is truly the first and last of its kind.

its just a recap so there's some fumbles, but the framing devices that they use to get the story into 2 hours are interesting

it cant be over wtf.... so unbelievably good from start to finish i desperately need a second season

wow that op is awful, it has its funny moments and its trite moments, but the funny just slightly outweighs the negatives.

boring

the best of all time and it's not even close. perfect execution, great writing and characters, and overflowing emotions.

it's like a funny documentary. it won't be for everyone but it was for me.

maybe the best OP in history, overall disappointing. the mystery didn't resolve well, basically none of the characters' actions are examined, and sTOP IMPLYING ROMANCE BETWEEN A TEENAGER AND THE MAN THAT RAISED HER

sobbed a lot to this!! :D in all seriousness ayane's performance is unbelievable and the ending is so obvious and yet i did not want it to be true so it hurt just as much. also BEAUTIFUL beautiful art style wow

the first half is enjoyable and has some truly great episodes, while the second half is reprehensible and awfully written

the mother's rosario arc is surprisingly enjoyable the but the rest of the season ranges from mediocre to worse than the worst of season 1.

it was so boring and nonsensical, i just wanted it to end and it just kept going and going and it was always so predictable

its premise is a bit of a tall order for 3 minute episodes

wholly unmemorable but pretty art

honestly couldnt even tell you why i watched this

relaxing, funny, and extremely memorable

the comedy isnt as breathless as the manga but they do some fun stuff with the animation to make up for it

the gold standard for a romance anime. perfect pacing all the way through

a fun premise, but drags in the middle

I FUCKING LOVE WHIMSY

I WANT TO WATCH CHARACTERS BE SILLY AND STUPID IN FANTASTICAL WAYS, this is basically just a pokemon mystery dungeon game

what the fuck

not for everyone but so unbelievably for me. if you like weird absurdist humor with a cute story to back it up this is for you

they cover far too much ground for the runtime, especially when the timeline is over 5 years

i genuinely think there's something to be said about how a site like myanimelist fails small art films like this by basically encouraging bad faith critique from a western audience. it's certainly weird but it's also very deliberate and even a bit thought-provoking

obviously gorgeous but the plot has some pacing issues that i need to re-evaluate

i just wish we got a complete adaptation, but what's here is great

it's fun and has some interesting commentary, i need to watch the rest. also the op fucks

extremely, oppressively rushed, but a great time nonetheless. read the manga obviously

i found it hard to care about despite the visual flair

sometimes we like things that are bad and that's ok

i... don't even really know what to say. it's surreal, wrapped in layers of symbolism, and walks a thin line between oversexualization and artistry. but it's left me with a lot to mull over and i did enjoy what i got from it

comfy and gorgeous, gotta watch the other seasons

nostalgic and gay so i can look past the problematic bits

i'd love another season, yuru yuri as a series only improved as it went on

i should rewatch this now that i'm not 12. i won't though.

generic and overly simplistic, but it works for what it is.

OK FINE. ill watch the corny yaoi you got me

ok bandori MAYBE i’ll come back for this. maybe.

i didnt like what i watched of the original but i love the premise so ill try again
