I've no idea what to write on here other than these:

Very First Anime: Attack on Titan. As you can probably tell by my profile in general, my favorite series of all time that's outside of anime is Avatar: The Last Airbender as it's one of the corner stones for my childhood.

Other than that, I tend to watch and read all sorts of stuff. Anything that piques my interests.

Some whatever useless thoughts below, I guess.

People often wonder why I watch shows that I gave such low ratings for, and that do I even enjoy watching anime. The simple answer is for the most part, I can get through these shows. It's just that the anime itself may not be on par with my own standards.

That's all there's to it.

I was introduced to anime by none other than Attack on Titan. A series that I’m sure shaped the early 2010s for a lot of people, including me. Now, however, with the number of re-watches, re-reads over the years, and a disappointing ending to the manga, Attack on Titan has left me for good. It was a good journey while it lasted. Everything that I watch and read is just my perception and take on the anime, manga, light novel, and etc of mediums. I’m just a dude with opinions that I want to express to stuff I like and dislike. None of my expressions should be taken as your own. We can agree and disagree.

And that's how it should be.

Anime is an entertainment. Like any other entertainment medium out there, people hold high regards to series/shows that they see great values in. And more often than not, they sometimes compare their favorites to the ones they’re watching and/or critiquing while being as objective as they can. Depending on their standards, shows that they critique varies.

So I implore people who get upset over a rating or a review to take a step back and contemplate on controlling your emotions. To lash out and bluntly insult/passive aggressively insult somebody in their comments or forums does no good to anyone. Whether it’s their anime taste or personal life, it only amplifies the negativity and toxicity, which ultimately alienate any discussions.

I would like to think that people aren’t as naive and immature as they are in the real world compared to the internet, that they are open to discussions about anime, manga, light novels, etc. But who knows.

All I ask you is to be civil.

Video Essays on some of my favs of all time.

10: Masterpiece. Nothing is flawless, but this type of show intimidates you. It climbs heights never seen. It innovates this media. It pushes the gap of human entertainment. It leaves you empty after its conclusion.

Example: Legend of The Galactic Heroes, Revolutionary Girl Utena

9: A Gem. Enjoyable, superb, and endearing. The show properly tackled its themes and concepts. A show that understands its creation and elevates it. Minor issues can be overlooked when everything else is done right.

Examples: Monster, Oregairu, and Mushishi.

8: Rare. There's a sense that a significant deal of effort and care was put into it. The show utilized its themes in an enlightened and interesting manner. Overall, it's endearing, memorable, and left a lasting impression.

Examples: Steins;Gate, March Comes in Like a Lion, and Vinland Saga.

7: Superb. A show with noticeable flaws but despite that, manages to create something worth investing in. The show may have been formulaic at times, but it sets itself apart from the rest with proper execution and presentation. It's consistently entertaining.

Examples: Baccano, Penguindrum, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Clannad: After Story.

6: Fine. The show has merits that move it above similar works of its playing field. The show had promise but had either poor execution or too many problems to keep it from being superb. The enjoyment is the biggest element saving it from being average.

Examples: Samurai Champloo, Psycho-Pass, Ping Pong the Animation, and Toradora!

5: Average. The show had highlights and equally detracting qualities that countered it. The show had promise but it got squandered. Excelled in some areas but neglected a lot. Easily forgettable.

Examples: K-On! Hyouka, Attack on Titan, Kimi no Na Wa, and Demon Slayer.

4: Bad. Recommending this show is hard. The show has more bad than good. The show is often overhyped. The show reduced itself to plot twists, trite storylines, and shock values to hold its audiences. Little things come out of the show. At best, it's a quick toss in the trash.

Examples: Lucky☆Star, The Future Diary, No Game No Life, Fate/stay Night (The entire franchise.), and Prison School.

3: Very Bad. Irredeemable. Poorly written and poorly presented. Defending the show is hard. Easy to watch with nothing else to take away from.

Examples: Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail, Nisekoi, KonoSuba (The entire franchise.), Darling in the FranXX, and Fire Force.

2: Horrendous. It's absurd, ludicrous, and maddening. Unqualifiable for its categories. A show that's full of cardboard cut-out elements of anime. It's a cash cow.

Examples: My Hero Academia, Highschool of the Dead, The Irregular at Magic High School, Food Wars! and Overlord.

1: Absolute Trash. Can't comprehend how these shows even exist. The consensus is that this show is unwatchable. At best, turn off your brain.

Examples: Ex-Arm, School Days, and Eromanga Sensei.

i need your extended favs

I keep changing my favourites. So the anime in my current favourites are not my actual top 10.
You will be disappointed to see my extended favourites because I like shounen and I'm generous towards my old favourites. It's seems like you hate shounen. All I can say is Dragon Ball is in my top 3 and have given 7/10 to Guilty Crown and Elfen Lied.

It's a matter of opinion of course. Still, you say Rose of Versailles is hardly a historical fiction misses the entire point of the series deeper advocation regarding the essence of oneself, love, class, sexuality, and defying societal expectations. You simply view the series as noble A vs noble B disregarding the characterizations that were tied to the aforementioned essence of the show.

It is true that I disregarded certain aspects of the series when I was giving my criticism. I did so precisely because they are the series' strong points. Now, do the series' strong points justify the flaws? no, they don't. What I was hoping for was for you to address the clear flaws that I pointed out with Rose Of Versailles.

LordSozin said:
In regard to revolution and characters, you simply looked at the process for which why those events took place, not seeing it represented in the grand scheme of things while creating drama.

By disregarding the process for why certain events occur and only looking at it in the grand scheme of things, you are making the same mistake that you accused me of making, that is, simplifying the series as a whole.

JYX May 14, 2:02 PM

LordSozin said:
The problem is you simplified what I watched and summarized long ago to an absurd degree.

Ohh really? Why don't you substantiate your claim then? What was it exactly that I simplified?

JYX May 14, 1:43 PM

I want you to defend one of your favourite anime. If you can't even do that then I question whether you thought it was good in the first place.

Simply unforgettable. A tragic historical retelling with multi-dimensional written characters that have perfect executions and collusions. Its themes of classism, revolution, social reforms were near perfection.

A tragic historical retelling

Rose of versailles can hardly even be called historical fiction. I can forgive it for vaguely resembling the reality but even then I have to squint a lot and use magnifying lenses to find the similarities. The issue is with the kinds of liberties it takes. Speaking in the very broadest of strokes, there are two basic types of alterations. The first are changes made to simplify things. This series doesn't seem to be cognisant of grey morality. Instead, it boils things down to the “right” and the “wrong.” The nobles, save a select few, are portrayed as outright evil people who shoot children and run people over without caring in the slightest. The ultimate consequence of this is that the characters come across more like they belong in a simple work for children than in a drama we're supposed to be taking seriously. Which is even worse when you factor in that these are based on real people.

LordSozin said:
with multi-dimensional written characters that have perfect executions and collusions.

The protagonist is a very one-note “noble” protagonist. She always does the right thing and stays on the right side of history. It gets to the point where she comes across as an incompetent moron because there are scenes where her work requires her to deal with someone causing trouble but she'll let them go because “well, they're doing good” or she'll try to talk them down without anyone to watch her back and she'll get taken by surprise. It really comes across as the writer being afraid to have her do anything that someone might find objectionable. After all, if she went in and used her authority as the captain to do her job, she might seem like a bit of an authoritarian.

LordSozin said:
Its theme of revolution was near perfection.

Revolution? What revolution? when it finally gets to the revolution, which should be the interesting bit, we get a very small bit about the start and then it skips right to the end.

Mapi_28 May 13, 8:35 PM

Hahaha thank you very much, really, what do you think about this season?
Those subplots hinder the plot?, not that I hate romance, personally I don't like it when they could implement it in other more interesting scenes.
I was going to watch Ao Ashi, but I was told it's a copy of Blue Lock, although Ao Ashi came out first.
Paripi Koumei that one I definitely want to watch, I saw a trailer, and it was really good, and the music in the trailer really catches your attention, I will definitely watch that one, is the humor innovative, or is it like Komi-san?

Mapi_28 May 12, 4:38 PM

Hi, I need you to recommend me which anime of this season I should start watching, I'm only watching Komi-san, Kaguya-sama, Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san, Spy x Family and boruto mostly I watch it for naruto and sasuke I feel like I'm watching it as homework, which anime of this season are good to watch, I like your different opinions, sorry if it bothers you.
Preferably from this season and unfinished, because I'm sure I would finish it in a day.

Gligo May 8, 6:28 PM

Oh, let me rectify then. Just the fact that shikimori is even close to kaguya is interesting

Gligo May 8, 3:53 PM

So Shikimori as good as Kaguya... thats interesting.

DOSS216 Apr 30, 4:19 PM

Don't mention bro, thanks for accepting. I made my 5x5 template on my own on Kapwing, its basically like a collage.

g1l Apr 23, 2:16 AM

I had a character arc
Well I was originally planning to track on Anilist but then I realised I didn't like the UI and came back here.
Unfortunately I had to cut ties with Gillette due to the negative backlash they received from this ad. From this point on I am now g1l

Angielicious Apr 21, 6:33 AM

Thank you so much! I actually have it in my sights as one of the next few animes I want to watch with the girlfriend! But once again thanks I'll probably bump it up.
