I am truly baffled at the above average rating this show received. It's absolutely atrocious. I watched Eat-Man '98 many years ago and remember enjoying it well enough. Expecting a similar experience from this was clearly a mistake. Thankfully it is only 12 episodes and the pure disbelief of how bad each and every episode was stunned me long enough to finish it. The writing and directing seem to be the primary offenders of what make it so awful. You can pretty much bet on every episode having a segment of 30+ seconds of Bolt and another random character

This show has a lot that's good about it, a lot that's not and a helping of things that are downright disturbing. Overall I don't regret watching it but it also left me discontent. The show explores some pretty serious themes and essentially brushes them all off to conclude in a rather abrupt and flippant manner. Some of those themes include genocide, suicide, political corruption, terrorism, etc. These themes are often depicted in graphic, even nauseating detail. Seems like a waste to build this heavy narrative then Rick and Morty it at the very end. I don't know if

Kyousou Giga (TV)

I was intrigued enough by the older iterations of Kyousougiga to see what they had come up for this series and wow is it extraordinary. The ambition and scope of the story alone is awe-inspiring, especially considering it's also well executed. I admit that while the first 6 or so episodes initially amused me, I was only somewhat above average in my enjoyment of the show. Then episode seven starts the crescendo, punctuated impressively by Koto's yell, climaxing during the final two episodes. Everything falls into place in episode eight, my favorite episode by far, and the payoff was absolutely immense.

What a turnaround this second season is from the first. The quality of the show improved significantly in almost every way. Nearly every episode felt relevant to the plot and advanced the narrative. The framing of each scene is especially good, got them feels going regularly. This is most apparent during battle scenes. The whole thing feels much more solid instead of the cobbled together mess season 1 seemed to be.
The gourmet tag is false once more, this season has even less to do with food than the first one. The entirety of its relation to food ...

This show is missing the CGDCT tag, basically all it is. I enjoy my fair share of CGDCT but that aspect isn't even well done. The gourmet tag is false, I'd say. For being a show that is supposedly about a group of people cooking, eating and enjoying food, very little time is spent actually exploring the culinary side of things. It amounts to, in every episode with nearly no exception, "someone's stomach growls, food is eaten (may or may not have needed to acquire some random ingredient) it's delicious, the end." That basic plotline is heavily watered down with

Flat-chest humor doesn't really bother me any more than any other crude humor. I'd say about 50% of the attempted humor in this show revolves around breast size. It's not even an ecchi show. Seems excessive. Only 2 flavors. Baddy comments on flat chest and is punished or insecurity over breast size inspires protagonist to behave abhorrently. This summarizes much of the show.
I enjoyed the many interspersed classic anime references throughout. Unfortunate that it began to feel like a crutch to hobble through. Generally the only enjoyment I received from each episode. They chose great shows ...

The Third: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo
(Anime)
add
This anime certainly is a strange one for me. After about six episodes I decided to binge it because I found it boring but my completionist spirit wouldn't allow me to drop it. After 12, I realized it was a full series and decided to soldier on. At this point I was hovering around a 5 or 6/10. The story telling seemed bland and uninspired, the action scenes seemed well done but were few and far between. The constant exposition and narration I found very annoying and detracting from what became a very enjoyable post-apocalyptic tale. By episode 20

Fuck I love this anime. I can't even begin to think how much I've rewatched it with various friends. It's just got such a unique feel to, the music is great (that OP gets me EVERY TIME), I really just love the whole story, and my only complaint is that it is too short without a fulfilling ending (though an awesome one, regardless). The characters are fucking unique (I love the president xD) the... you know what.... see it for your damn self, watch this shit or Krauser-san will come from Hell and rape and murder your family while he forces you

I'm from an older anime watching generation and I'm still trying to get over my narcissism about newer anime. I'll tell you, the past few seasons of anime have really impressed me. We got Demon Hunter, Dr. Stone, Slime Reincarnation, and more. Of course it's no substitute for the passion put into drawing something like Akira, or Fist of the North Star, but I am shocked at how much I've been enjoying the newer animes. This is an idealistic anime. From what has been animated thus far (I have not read any source material) This show is essentially the Disney

Hot damn, what a good anime. Just finished my second run through it after about a year and feel like a review is necessary. Firstly, I'm going to briefly mention what sets it apart from other anime of the same genre.
1: It doesn't take place in a learning institution of any kind. 2: All the characters are working adults. 3: Relationships are established in the first episode. 4: Basically no drama or tension whatsoever. I'm just going to stop there, they've basically committed every sin in the rom-com formula book by violating those 4 principles. It's a breath of fresh air is ... |
