Yugi Vs. Joey in the Duelist Kingdom finals is boring and not a good duel, the drama is forced and corny.

Lucoa is a hilarious character and her relationship with Shouts is entertaining.

Watamote was ruined once it became a Yuri Harem
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

Boruto anime is good, and most of its "fillers" are enjoyable (except for both the Chouchou and Funato arcs). While I agree that its fandom is often regarded as the most toxic (if not one of the most toxic), there's no smoke without fire, especially since the pandemic.

Solo Leveling S2 deserved its MAL score, but it also made critics discount their criticism.

Danjoru is overhated. If there was no Himari, the story would be bland, and Rion would be just a generic anime girl.

Regardless of whether Kimetsu no Yaiba is overrated or not in your catalogue, its TV version of Mugen Train Arc didn't deserve 8.xx at all.

Araragi and Hachikuji borderline peodphilic sexual assault are comedic gold and one of the best parts of the series. If you can't tolerate that and gets offended you are not worthy of watching Monogatari.

2.5D Ririsa is better version of My Dress up Darling just has harem. Everything from cosplay/Otaku culture and even romance is better.

One Piece is peak from episode 1, people who can't see it are just overwhelmed by how much episodes they have left to go. I can't stand it when people say it gets good at episode X, it's good straight away.

Keyaru's revenge is actually mitigated and justified, considering what has been done to him, and vigilante justice being his only option to take vengeance.

Rudeus is a pretty good guy overall, which is apparently controversial, even though it shouldn't be.

Phantom Blood is actually a good JoJo part.

Eren did nothing wrong, given his position.

Darling in the FranXX had a good ending.

@WaterMage 2.5D was such a good show man, people just keep on comparing it to dress up darling when it has a lot of differences. I loved that show, it made me experience various emotions which cannot be said about most of the anime these days

One piece anime pacing is great which is truth albeit sometimes inconsistent.

direction matters more than sakuga fest quality (even though it is always welcome obviously)

I'm proud fan of mushoku tensei and rudeus is very well written mc.

wholeheartedly agree. I remember someone saying this in the reddit discussion thread when 2.5D was airing and they got skewered alive and downvotted becuz ofcourse, dress up darling is the more popular show.

I've seen dress up darling and while I can see what they are going for, I felt more of the cosplay passion and had more fun with 2.5D. And I also think the harem doesn't downgrade the show in any way. I have decided to pause dress up darling and am steadily rewatching 2.5D thru the dub this time

Harem sometimes improves it so idc.
There is also godlike status in community for Marin as far as I can see. Even something mediocre & cringe(caugh caugh Rei sama skit whatever that was) is regarded very very highly.

Fate/kaleid liner Prismaโ˜†Illya - The story is way better in this series, then UBW

Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: First Kiss wa Owaranai - The series should have ended after season 3, the movie was pointless drama rehashing conflicts that had already been resolved. It actively sours the phenomenal finale of the last season.

Nisemonogatari - Episode 4 would not have been nearly impactful if it was done anywhere else, Araragi and shinobu being naked, is actually very important to the emotional impact of the scene.

Shinsekai yori - They should have left the sex in, it was a huge part of both understanding the culture, and the relationships between the characters.

Yuzuki-san Chi no Yonkyoudai - despite airing along side shows like JJK S2, this show had the best animated fight scene of the season, as well as the most emotionally impactful.

Mushoku Tensei - They should have let Rudy bang his sister, they keep going out of their way to say this world has different customs when it comes to love and sex then ours, yet when it really matters, they chicken out. I mean, come on, she's not even his full sister, throw her a bone. (The only opinion on here that I'm only half serious about, lol)

Monogatari should've ended at Zoku, especially if Off and Monster was just gonna be rolling around in the lolis

The high school part (Senjou aside) is more interesting than the lolis.

I like Nadeko. Ononoki is funny as a side character. Shinobu is good (except when they're talking about her past, any arc about her past since Kizu has been bottom-tier).

I couldn't give less of a shit about the Fire Sisters and Hachikuji is hit or miss. As I mentioned above, I like Shinobu but arcs focused on her tend to be eh, especially the later ones.

I'd much rather be seeing what Hanekawa, Sodachi, or Kanbaru are doing. Hell, I don't care nearly as much for Senjou as the wider audience seems to but at least she's supposed to be the tritagonist and she can be good with other characters.

Heyy I know the scene you were talking about. Weirdly realistic, messy kid fighting, really left an impression. Actually sad, too, wanted to give them a hug.

Haven't seen JJK S2 yet to comment on that, but Yuzuki Family's Four Sons is such an under-watched little gem.

Evangelion is better and more profound once you accept how derivative it is of other mecha

That's the big problem if the anime don't continue and leave at it is. Anime onlys won't get the significance of that movie.

Nanami best character is a spicy take, but most people I met would agree Nanami's eps are some of the best Utena episodes, and some of the best anime eps in general too. Definitely peak anime comedy at least.

This said, I find it hard to rank Utena eps or characters. At least Juri's and Wakaba's eps are up there, and so is the whole final arc. Nanami's egg is probably the weirdest and coolest thing I've ever seen in a cartoon, tho.

Not sure if this is controversial or not, but as a huge Higurashi anime fan of the first couple seasons (I haven't read the manga or played the VNs yet)....

In hindsight, the anime definitely should have ended with Kai (the second season) in my opinion.

The Rei and Kira fanservice episodes are abysmally written (Rei is fine otherwise, but the entirety of Kira is just those episodes) and just very out of character for the cast... I know they aren't canon or whatever, but they feel really off.

Gou tried to set up something new, but still felt like they somewhat reused some of the old arcs even if there were changes to those too. It just felt quite unnecessary, but wasn't terrible... (And I mean at least I can say the opening themes of Higurashi are bops consistently throughout the seasons.)

Then there's Sotsu.......it's definitely reflected in the score that it was a pretty controversial entry and many will agree it was character assassination of a certain important character.



So yeah, idk if there's any fixing things now with any future anime installments.
We've had many studio changes etc. over the years and I have no clue how faithfully everything was adapted from the source material and if that's part of the reason they haven't been as good... But I guess only time will tell if things will change.

Kaiki had more chemistry with Senjougahara than Araragi ever had with her.

Hachimitsu no Clover ending is really great, I wouldn't change it for anything else. [no idea if It's that controversial tbh but I've seen 50/50 opinions on it]

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card loses 80% of It's charm because of the change in artstyle. I watched Cardcaptor Sakura last year, so I had no nostalgia glasses on - coming from one season to another was extremelly jarring.

People are really dramatic about Blue Lock season 2 to some extreme deegres.

Boruto anime wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it wasn't a good decision to start serialising it this early, they should have waited more and plan more + Boruto: Two Blue Vortex [manga] is pretty good and I think it fixes and adds interesting stuff to the whole Otsutsuki fiasco.

Boku no Pico is more tame than some of the most popular anime.

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu has fast pacing and is even rushed in some parts.

Girls und Panzer should not have bothered with unrealistic WW2 tanks. They should have just made up their own tanks specifically made for this sport so that action could have been even more creative and crazy.

Monogatari Series is quite normal supernatural mystery anime, but with pretentious presentation. Nonchronological order, how characters sometimes talk and lots of directing choices are just weird for sake of being weird.

School Days ending is quite predictable if you just pay at least bit of attention.

Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't a "deconstruction of the mecha genre" like so many people would have you believe. The genre's been dealing with the psychological toll war takes on mech pilots since at least the late 70s.

End of Evangelion also isn't a deliberate "fuck you" to the fanbase.

@LoveLikeBlood What even would a deconstruction of the mecha genre even be like? Gundam is essentially a franchise about war that happens to use humanoid robots. What would be the internal contradiction? Sure humanoid designs do not make plausible sense, but it is not contradictory with the other elements and conventions of the genre.

I suppose if one were to make it, it be about an engineer decrying about the physical nonsense of humanoid robots.

OT: Not really a hot take, but Dandadan justifies its sexual assault scenes by having Momo be the one to get herself out of trouble, rather than be a vehicle for the male characters to save her. That's why it works. It is not a power fantasy for guys.

I know it is a harem, but One Hit Kill Sister has way too many heroines. You could probably cut out Gloria or Sophie and the series would be better. It works best when it focuses on Kilmaria and Maya.

Stone Ocean is better than Golden Wind.

This. My Dress up Darling is all sunshine and rainbow, and the dialogues are too cheesy for me. I like the show don't get me wrong, but 2.5D Ririsa is way better in literally every aspect.

Araragi chooses Senjougahara instead of Hanekawa will forever not be bullshit to me.
