| My hot take is: don't be a hater. If you don't like something, simply move along and find something else to enjoy. |
| Dragon Ball GT is better than Dragon Ball Super as I was at least able to bloody finish and sit through it with a lot of enjoyment. A lot of Super felt like a waste of fucking time with long stretched out retellings of the movies, and focusing way too much on fanservice by bringing back characters like Future Trunks and introducing an evil Goku just to sell more merch. The retcons in Super were also pretty atrocious and actively shit on the weight of some of the decisions made in the original run of Dragon Ball, with the retcon to the Potara earrings being probably the most egregious as it makes Goku and Vegeta's decision to fuse into Vegito the first time feel utterly pointless with the new knowledge that it was never actually going to be permanent. It also just makes Metamoran Fusion less unique by having the one drawback to Potara Fusion removed and basically making it "Metamoran but better". With the permanent restriction being gone, literally why wouldn't you use the Potara earrings given the option when Metamoran is way more difficult to set up and has more factors that can go wrong for a less powerful end result? God I hate Super so fucking much, at least some of the new forms were cool and it led to us getting FighterZ which is definitely to this day one of the best licensed fighting games I have ever played. |

| My hot take is that there should be more asshole protagonists, like https://myanimelist.net/character/12903/Ryuuichi_Kaizu |
*kappa* |
| There needs to be more girls with personalities like Asuka Langley and less of the nice, shy, and quiet type girls. |

| Victory Gundam > Zeta Gundam at being the "dark" UC series Edit: I mean in terms of the writing, Victory is better than Zeta. |

| Don't rush when watching anime, enjoy it. |
| Spirited Away sucked, and the majority of Ghibli films are overrated Excel Saga sucked, the fact that it's Chris Chan's favorite anime speaks for itself The second season of Gunslinger Girl was better than the first (the first is still good though) I liked Higurashi Gou I like lolicon/shotacon and I'm not afraid to admit it |

| @Ms_Muffin 1 would be pretty hot. Honestly, even as someone who ranks Bleach the worst of those three, it did have the best start of those three. Ichigo was also just a pretty refreshing shonen MC, from the typical energetic moron. So I could see it. |
| Subtitles belong on the top of the screen, not the bottom. Historical quote pyramid of me saying the same thing over and over again time! :D |
 |
| Abysmal animation wouldn't be so much of an issue for me if the story and everything else can make up for it, especially when it comes to romance anime. |
 |
| My anime hot take is that these days I find every single anime reasonably good in comparison to real world. Even the most bottom -tier isekai fantasy series now feel like a cooling balm when the alternative is fear of responsibility, navigate civic neglect, and the loneliness of being forever alone. Even the filler episodes or repeat summary episodes feel better than anything in my daily life. Btw I've seen 86,000 episodes and 97,000 Manga chapters according to the stats on Anilist. So I'm not a newcomer to anime,been watching anime since 1998 and now I'm deeper in anime than ever. |

| @Daviljoe193 I expected the mildest of takes here, but no, you actually got me mad. |
| Do you know that big, idiotic smile battle shonen protagonists has? You know, Naruto, Luffy, Natsu etc? Yeah, I fucking hate that. |

| They put too much importance on boobs, thic thighs or great asses are a great compensation and many times even better! They save lives |
 |
| No anime is more or less deserving than any other anime of a good adaptation. |
| solo levelling and oshi no ko are basically the same both don't require you to pay attention and feed you everything, have little character depth and are very well-produced despite having a subpar story Oshi no ko is definitely the worse out of the two since it is pretentious and overwhelmingly hypocritical |
| anime has entered its downfall era and its heralds are anime like mushoku tensei, redo of healer where series like this and its fans glorify pedophile activities, the objectification and sexualization of women, and of course the wish fulfillment for the hormones of insecure teenage boys harem is the most trash genre in anime, novels and manga overall, people have no idea how much damage this genre has done in spreading misogyny, objectification of women and besides this, unfortunately many watchers of harem have become desensitized of the trash shows they are watching, thinking these are real "meaningful" interhuman interactions and like this, they excuse all the awful things in the harem slop thet are watching fate stay night is just a porn game that its fans really like to overthink |

| Anime piracy is bad and you shouldn't encourage others to pirate. |
 |
| Only a very few anime that is dubbed are actually good |
 |
| Crunchyroll should rebrand as Soggyroll with how late and unappetizing their service has become. I feel bad for those who give them money. |
 |
| -Bleach is better than Naruto. I used to think the other way around until I finished Bleach and looked back on Naruto. I liked Bleach a lot more. Sure it has its flaws, but Naruto has way too many flaws to ignore if you ask me. But Naruto is still great and still in my favorites. -The famous opening "Idol" from Oshi No Ko is okay at best. It's not bad, but not one I'd normally listen to either. Fatale by GEMN was way better. -While Lazarus does have its flaws, it's not as bad as reviewers make it out to be. It was still enjoyable, but I feel like it could've worked better with more episodes. -Record of Ragnarok manga is NOT better than the anime. Both the anime and manga are medicore at best. I remember I liked it in high school, but then I dropped it at around Round 9 because the writing was getting too shit to ignore. Looking back, the only memorable thing about Record of Ragnarok is the fights, but even they get boring after a while. Record of Ragnarok is one of those cases where the concept sounds amazing on paper but doesn't actually work that well. -FMAB and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End are two entirely different franchises that cover their own things. Whether FMAB or Frieren deserves #1 on the MAL ranking is completely subjective. I'm leaning more towards FMAB, but I understand why people would prefer Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. -Sub VS Dub is a stupid competition, it all depends on your own preferences. I mostly watch sub, with some exceptions. But I understand why people would watch dub too. -Golden Wind is overhyped. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all. Golden Wind is pretty good, but there are other JoJo parts that are way better. Compared to other parts, doesn't rank that high. Imo, Diamond is Unbreakable is the best part, followed by Stardust Crusaders and Battle Tendency. |

| @Ms_Muffin I think One Piece is the best of the Big 3, but I understand why people would say Bleach. While the pacing for all Big 3 anime is shit, Bleach's pacing is the most tolerable. That's one of the things that Bleach does best in out of the Big 3 if you ask me. Fate franchise overall is one I would prefer over Demon Slayer. It's just way cooler. I tried getting into Black Clover years ago but I got bored of it. Though, maybe I will return one day. Also, love the Gyro on your profile. |

| I've already said this a bunch of times, but I don't think FLCL is very good. Okay I'll see myself out now. |
 |
| On average anime is vastly inferior to its source material and often just treated as an advertisement it and merchandise. Therefore original anime should be highly prioritised. |
   |
| a big percentage of seasonal anime are just manga/LN advertisements; even if you like them, most likely there won't be another season. |
| Shounen anime nowdays mostly all about aura farming, not actually character development of the character itself. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| I don't hate Solo Levelling. I watched both seasons and enjoyed them. I also like JJK for same reasons. My hot take is more of a warm one. They deserve neither hate nor praise. They are good anime that go from one extreme reaction to another; when they deserve neither. I guess my hot take is female characters were better in older anime. Where are the adult sexy main leads now? There are so few today. I mean there are female leads but a majority are either on the younger side or share the spot with a male lead. |

| @Daviljoe193 That wouldn't be "sub"titles anymore, it'd be "super"titles. |

| My hot take: Isekai (the "boring" ones) ia a great genre for young people to get introduced to anime, most of the time it's really simple and it rarely shows a lot of blood. |
