Spring 2020 anime thoughts so far (with weighted scores):

Kingdom Season 3 was easily one the best shows of the season and year but sadly got postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a shame. 10/10

Major 2nd Season 2: As a fan of the Major franchise, this season was off to the best start I've seen as a whole from it. With character designs and general visuals that look really great, very nice character writing already (especially with Daigo) and good buildup for the Furin Baseball team's future, I'm very excited to see what's in store with this franchise. It was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic after 4 episodes but it's back now, and I'm thrilled to see this show back in action.

Story/Writing - 10, Characters - 10, Visuals - 10, Sound - 9, Enjoyment - 10, Overall - 10

Tower of God: Not a perfect adaptation but still very enjoyable nonetheless (although I don't really take source material into account when watching shows). The story's mysterious and has got me hooked with its concepts, music and visuals are solid and characters have their charm too for the most part. Feel like the actual adaptation itself would be better if Crunchyroll commits with a season 2, and shows belief that the show would perform well enough since this is a test in a way.

Dub actually helps improve the story for me in a way, since the dialogue feels more tighter and explains tests and mysteries about the Tower in a much clearer way compared to the Japanese versions. Not too often I see a dub actually improve the story and experience personally.

Story/Writing - 7 (SUB) & 8 (DUB), Characters - 8, Visuals - 7, Sound - 9, Enjoyment - 8, Overall - 8

Kakushigoto: Very bad, let alone disappointing. Some of the more serious scenes are alright at the start but the comedy and chemistry just never clicked with me, and the progression just felt extremely tedious over time. Not really that interesting, captivating nor entertaining for me. I keep on getting the feel of 'wasted potential' when I finish each episode.

Story/Writing - 2, Characters - 3, Visuals - 6, Sound - 6, Enjoyment - 2, Overall - 3

Gleipnir: Surprisingly good production for a show with an overdone and mediocre concept. Did show signs of promise and enjoyment in the beginning, but got boring later on. Incredibly taxing now.

Kaguya-sama Season 2: Production is good, content's very boring and repetitive now and I've lost my interest overall in the franchise after being a fan at one point. This season's very hit-miss with its humor (mostly miss) and Kaguya's the only good character of the main 4 now for me. I don't even enjoy the content from the first season anymore, but atleast the jokes aren't as painful to go through unlike this season. What a fall from grace in terms of enjoyment compared to when I started reading the manga and seeing the anime initially. And it's only becoming more forced and unfunny with every single episode. Currently on hold, will just finish it when it ends since I can't be bothered anymore.

Wave, Listen to Me: A pretty decent show that's quite overlooked by the community. Minare Koda's full of personality and energy and her radio segments are bizarre yet fascinating to listen to and watch. The story isn't too great but the segments and charm carry it. The visuals however have been dodgy. I enjoyed some episodes without having them impact me, but it has become more and more of a distraction lately.

Story/Writing - 6, Characters - 7, Visuals - 4, Sound - 7, Enjoyment - 7, Overall - 6

Hamefura: Worst show of the season for me personally (which I haven't dropped). Incredibly unfunny and the characters are either incredibly frustrating to watch or just boring as fuck.

Story/Writing - 1, Characters - 1, Visuals - 3, Sound - 3, Enjoyment - 0, Overall - 1

Fruits Basket Season 2: Very dull, uninspiring and unfortunately, can't feel any enjoyment, empathy, or relatability with any of the cast members. A step down from season 1 so far in a big way. Visuals continue to look incredibly bland too.

Story/Writing - 2, Characters - 2, Visuals - 4, Sound - 5, Enjoyment - 2, Overall - 2

Yesterday wo Utatte: Good production overall with one of Doga Kobo's best looking shows in my opinion (although designs can be off at some times after the first few episodes). The story is solid but can get very, very sleepy at times due to its mundane atmosphere when seeing some character interactions that don't go anywhere. I prefer the manga since I got to read it and enjoy it at a better pace.

Story/Writing - 6, Characters - 7, Visuals - 7, Sound - 7, Enjoyment - 5, Overall - 6

Ascendence of a Bookworm Season 2: Solid attempt at world building like the first season, but very boring like the first season as well. The presentation and the development just feels too tedious to get through and there's no good characters for me personally. But at least, this show isn't by any means the worst isekai out there.

Story/Writing - 3, Characters - 3, Visuals - 5, Sound - 5, Enjoyment - 2, Overall - 3

Arte: Utter snoozefest and really underwhelming production too to add to its failures. Somehow takes an interesting setting, and completely turns it into as generic and uninteresting of a show as it possibly could.

Story/Writing - 2, Characters - 1, Visuals - 2, Sound - 4, Enjoyment - 1, Overall - 2

BNA: Started off well but fell apart in the middle, with a very safe yet unstable storyline. It felt like it started off as a 2 cour anime, and then just got changed right in the middle to a 1 cour, and then rushed to make it on time. Not exciting at all.

More about me:

I'm a giant wrestling fan too for over a decade. I see WWE, AEW, ROH and NJPW (used to see TNA but it became very boring). So if you wanna talk wrestling, I'm your guy!

Also a big fan of the Toronto Raptors in the NBA! #WeTheNorth

Favorite wrestlers are AJ Styles, Adam Cole, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan, Edge, Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Minoru Suzuki, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Benoit (for his wrestling only), Roderick Strong and Kurt Angle.

Would add Castlevania in my favorites but sadly, it's not an anime. Shame.

Speaking of favorites, I have too many I want to put in these lists so I'll switch them around. The top area should stay relatively the same though.

I also love UFC, rock music (especially Paramore (favs), Radiohead, Breaking Benjamin, old 3DG, Rise Against, Rage Against the Machine, etc.)

P.S: Fuck the Ace Attorney anime. Those games were absolute fire and the anime burned out my spirit.
