My opinions aren't unique. Every last one of them have been thought before. So, if you want an unoriginally creative hentai-watcher to speak with, message me. Form a friendship, and, maybe it'll last until we are both in the dirt, watching hentai to the ends of our days. Only, potentially, though. You know how bitches be sometimes.
I like revolting things. Desiring to puke out my lunch isn't a normal thing, you may say. But I say nay to that naysay. People just don't come up to you, and say they like guts, and blood spray. Although, I guess that's something weird about me, you could say. I don't hide behind the shield of a normalcy play. I ain't normal, but I guess that's normal in it's own way.
Art is like a connection to the thoughts, and feelings of the writer. A medium of it. Bad, or good, it leaves an impression on me if it's not merely to make money. 99% of shows have at least one person on the team who has passion for what they do, so I accept those 99% of shows as what they are, a story. No matter how bad, I see them as their own creation worthy of existing.
Too Long, Did Read
Art is one of the greatest things to ever exist, and we should all give our best to understand artforms, however way it may be understood.
My opinions aren't superior to any others', but I have them for a reason, because they are mine in the first place. Same for everyone's else. We weren't just born into our opinions, we've all grown into our opinions, and if they are reasonable, I don't see the problem with them. If they aren't reasonable, however... (I'm not a legal document, so I don't have to specify. You know the types I'm talking about. The purely 'emotional' types... Not saying that I don't get emotional, but emotion as a basis of logical argumentation isn't possible.)
From casually rating art as a simple hobby to being highly invested in the art of rating, and reviewing, you should respect other peoples' opinions.
That isn't to say you shouldn't criticize ratings, because what goes into rating is an artform of itself, but you should respect it, and, obviously not get pissy when your favourite anime gets an unfavorable review/rating. Refute it, don't rant about how twisted your panties have become.
With only pure emotion to back your argument up, you aren't convincing anyone except yourself, because subjectivity isn't objectivity, and should never be taken as such.
If they are misinformed, inform. If they rate based purely on enjoyment, and emotion, let them. Because we have different ways to do things, and different things we want to accomplish when rating. Some want to write in-depth, hyper-analysing reviews with highly detailed, and informed research. Some want to write quick, and easy to read reviews for people just searching for a good show.
Some just want to put their opinions out there through ratings. And we should respect all their opinions if, as I have said many a-times, they are grounded in reality.
Too Long, Didn't Read
Mental patients should be left alone. Other than the mental patients, we should all respect each others' opinions.
For me, 1/10 ratings of art is half, and half. Half art I think has no artistic value, and the other half which is just the worst of the worst art. Now, my thinking something doesn't have artistic value doesn't devalue it for other people. Everyone has at least one piece of art that makes them question if it has any artistic value, and people aren't quick to point at things, saying they are worth nothing, so I don't see a problem with it. Of course, I'm gonna try to refute you if your opinion goes against my opinion, but I respect opinions, even if I get mad at said opinions.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (It's one of the worst, not in it's story, but in it's absolute repulsiveness. It's actually fairly good if you can handle being repulsed for 2 hours straight. Also, shoutout to Sargon of Akkad for playing a role in the movie.)
Those rape, ephebophilic manga where the main character soon loves being raped by an older man.
Note: I rate based partially on enjoyment, and partially on how good it was, enjoyment being exempt from the rating if the writing is complete, and utter shit. This levels out into the scores that I give.
Also, I can enjoy any anime/manga that I give a low rating as long as it offers something other than good writing. (Sufficient, but not amazing comedy, or plenty of gore. Those can be enjoyable once in a while.)
1 - Absolute, utter trash from under the bottom of the depths of hell. (I would not recommend anyone watch this.)
2 - Shit pile of diarrhea with a slight bit of redeeming qualities. Whatever those may be for a shit pile.
3 - Had potential, squandered it, slit it's throat, and then took a piss on it's corpse.
4 - This has some good parts strewn about, but you have to pick them up as scraps on the ground, next to the dog shit it decided to throw out with it.
5 - I can confidently say this has a fair bit of good qualities, or an interesting plot, but you fucked it up. Ya fucked it up real good, and now you have to live with the guilt of creating something almost good for the rest of your life.
6 - Lots of enjoyable moments, and good things about it. Sadly, some of it isn't too enjoyable, and done wrong. You didn't fuck up making something good, but you fucked up making something elevated past merely "good".
7. This shit is really good. Basically, there's a fair bit more good than bad.
8 - This has become something better than really good, becoming great. Great ideas, great characters, interesting themes. This has excelled in one, or more things, and gone into the territory of higher memorability.
9 - Fuckin' amazing. It has become something I love. Whatever it may be.
10 - Whatever happened along the way of creation made this masterpiece. This art piece has passed most other art. Higher than most other. Excellent in more than a few things. The cream of the crop as some old dudes used to say.
Note: Any Rx anime that doesn't have many hentai parts isn't a hentai in my eyes. So I'll rate it based on the plot. If the anime has a fair amount of both, my rating of it will be a combination of both hentai scenes, and plot.
1-2 - Absolute shit. I don't know why I read/watched this hentai.
3-4 - Has some value, but it's still dog shit.
5-6 - I liked some of it, but I still didn't like a fair amount of it.
7-8 - Really good shit. I can expect this shit to be boner-ifying any time I watch it.
9 - The shit that does everything that I like. A boner stayed most of the time, and that anime pp be penetrating booties left, and right.
10 - If I would give a hentai 10/10 without the hentai scenes, I will give it a 10/10.
Sometimes, I rate parts of anime, and the ratings are given in seperate tags after mentioning whatever I'm rating.
Watch(ing)(ed) - My first time watching something, and it's with someone else.
Rewatch(ing)(ed) - Rewatching/rewatched a show with someone.
<Person Watch(ing)(ed) With>, (<Rewatch Number>) - Watched with who on what rewatch.
Hentai - Self-explanatory.
- before a part of the story in tags - A rating will be given next tag.
Owned - Physically owned.
Stored - Stored on an external drive.
Subbed - I have subtitled this without deriving it from another translation. Although, it probably ain't too good.
Edited - I've edited an existing translation of this. This includes anime, and novels.
Translated - A novel that I have translated. Ain't gonna happen anytime soon, though.
Japanese - Watched with no subs.
Partial, Episodes/Volumes XX-XX - Partially owned/stored/subbed/edited/translated, and what I own/store/have subbed/have edited/have translated of this anime/manga/novel so far. The partial tag is placed right after the tag that it is referring to as partial.
Will Come Back, <Low/Medium/High> - How much continuing to watch this interests me. Dropped anime without "Will Come Back" are most likely dropped forever.
On a whim, started watching my first anime on the 19th of January, 2018. Finished watching my first anime on the 20th of January, 2018.
In your review for Super Lovers - "Yes, the age difference between Ren and Haru did make me uncomfortable, and I wished Haru would have been younger (or Ren be older) but then my mind wandered to the blatant display of the nipples of 14 year old in the ecchi anime that I’ve watched (ya know, the kinda content that the haters of this show are totes okay with), and then I was completely okay with this relationship."
A strawman, AND a false equivalence. Woah, two logical fallacies in a single point, I haven't seen that before.
Ignore this, if you have changed your opinions on this matter. Sorry, if so.
Anyways, if not, I need to refute this. First off, blatant pedophilic undertones are different than nipples, and, even then I don't believe this comes from personal experience with these people, but rather falsely perceived hypocrisy. How do you know the haters of Super Lovers are the same people fine with 14 year old nipples? I haven't seen those people.
For a second, let's say that these people are the same people, why would the existence of these people make you no longer uncomfortable with pedophilia? Your moral compass shouldn't be shifted by perceived hypocrisy. It doesn't make sense to accept pedophilia, because you think some group of people are hypocritical. On the assumption that the people you speak of exist, that isn't defying the hypocrisy, but, rather being swayed into being more accepting of more extreme pedophilia. And, yes, nipples being acquainted to the same level as pedophilic undertones is a false equivalence. Pedophilic undertones are admitting to acceptance of pedophilia while nipples are fine, being shown at the pool, and other such places all the time, because it's simply just nipples.
TL;DR
Pedophilic undertones being acquainted to nipples being shown is a false equivalence, and the people you speak of are a strawman.
Oops, on line 13. That isn't defying the "hypocrisy"*. Also, by "more extreme pedophilia", I mean, if the ecchi anime you were referring to is actually pedophilic. The false equivalence would not exist if the "showing 14 year old nipples" were to lead up to pedophilia in the anime.
Psychological Horror is pretty awesome, but it's also a hard genre and not many anime manage to do that.
Dementia is pretty well, uh, creepy haha so maybe you'll like https://myanimelist.net/anime/9990
Lol don't worry, it takes a long time for that haha
Yeah we are blessed with many more continuations nowadays hehe
I love Attack on Titan and have been following it since it came out back in 2013, it was a no brainer to me that it would become famous. I really liked the first season but the wait on the 2nd one was so fucking long lol so I went ahead and read the manga back then until that Historia arc which bored me so much I stopped reading. After the anime finished that arc it was new waters for me, it was so nice to see this whole stuff animated. The final season better be fucking awesome!
Yeah people are kinda retarded sometimes, not gonna lie haha
However thats normal I think, there will always be anime people don't like, there are many popular anime I don't like either after all
Haha no problem! Yeah I agree, it would be quite sad if we dont get new big franchises tho...
However I wouldn't say that we have less finished anime nowadays. In fact I would say we have even more finished stuff nowadays. Like Hero Academy, Dr. Stone and Neverland especially pushing for a full adaption. Then we also have Attack on Titan, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, the list goes on... On the other side, in the 90s and such things werent always finished, take Ranma for example it got never fully animated. Or Inuyasha was also left unfinished until it received it's condensed final. But those are big ones, the smaller ones have it even harder back then, because back then there normally was no such thing as international audience. Nowadays they stream every seasonal so it's quite easy to see which show does how good overseas. But back then, only a handful of shows was (fan)subbed and the most popular ones like Full metal Panic, Haruhi Suzumiya etc all got sequels sooner or later. But this is not true for shows that werent licensed back then and only go noticed by people who search for older stuff.
The anime I'm currently subbing, Tanken Driland, is a great example. The anime itself is quite nice and I'm sure it wouldn't have done worse than some shows this season. However, it was in 2012 when it was released and that time was the transition phase to simulcasts. So this was still a time, when fansubs were alive and simulcasts were sparse, of course such a show had no chance of getting licensed. Also it released in the same season as Sword Art Online, so it was very overshadowed by the new seasonal (even though most people didnt watch seasons at this point yet)
Also it was just when Fairy Tail's first run had ended and they got their time slot, there was a big backlash by the fairy tail community "they canceled fairy tail for this shit!" So of course most people didnt want to watch an unlicensed show that was hated by the whole community lol
Well makes sense too, with Manga you can basically read in your own pace making it relaxing too haha
Haha that's a tricky question and I'm not sure if I can answer it yet since I have very big gaps especially in the 2000's and 90's.
However I would agree that 1990s was the start of much better anime. Not very surprising though.
80's had quite good anime, it was a good start into the decade for anime, many new investors, etc. leading to very obscure anime like Tenshi no Tamago, one of my favourites. It was also around that time when the bubble burst and studios went bankrupt.
Just look at 1984, there have been around 30 new TV anime including popular shows like Hokuto no Ken, a few popular Mechas as well as the famous Glass no Kamen adaption and a new Lupin series. Compare to today we have around 60 shows per season, so they recovered quite good lol
But yeah the 80's had the start of so many famous anime like Dragon ball, touch, ranma (89 tho), Saint Seiya, etc.
But that's exactly it. Big and popular manga were adapted because they were more or less a guaranteed success, experimenting not much and giving us more long runners than seasonal shows.
In the 90's this changed and we got more experimental and shorter stuff. Of course successful mangas got longer shows again, like Sailor Moon.
As you know this also continued into the 2000s with Inuyasha, Bleach, etc. and it even continued in the 2010's with Fairy Tail, Black Clover (and Hero Academy) but also the infamously Aikatsu franchise which has over 400 episodes by now i think lol
For 2020 it is unsure wheter we will get new big franchises, as the tides turned for more seasonal and short stuff, but we can still hope.
Either way, I would consider the 90's as the real start since we got so many more good shorter anime like Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain and etc. Which would have been much harder in the 80's due to the fear of failure and sticking to just adapting successful manga
Lol yeah, we could have never imagined!
Well my favourites would be Anime > Manga > Light Novels what about you? I just love things animated, wheter it is anime or cartoon, I don't really like reading if I can just sit back...
Yeah that's also a strategy I guess, but that wouldn't work for me since there would be the possibility to miss out on hidden gems
Well 1969 so its something lol, there aren't that many good shows from the 60's, but they exist.
Lol yeah true... Just yesterday I started making a list for cartoon movies, I finished it right now so now I have a complete list of all cartoon movies that were ever produced which I have to watch... Will do a similar one for cartoon series too and after that maybe one for Live action series and such, there's still a lot to do... not to forget books and videogames ewe
Haha that's a pretty good start! Guess you have been swallowed by seasonals in the beginning already xD
Yeah it's not a bad show actually, I had to watch it raw last time so I'm looking forward to my rewatch of it with eng subs haha
It's also one of the 60's anime with colour which is kinda interesting.
What I love to do once I finish a passage of anime (like the current season), I make a video featuring the best Openings. I have one for the 60's, 70's and recently I finished the 2019 one. So if you wanna check it out I can give you some links
My goal is to have such videos for every year in the end, then I will be able to watch all after another and remember all good anime in one day lol
Yeah they certainly are! I just started recently as celebration of me watching anime for 10 years, I rewatched my very first anime and right now I'm rewatching my 2nd anime. Gonna rewatch one every season now and after ~9 years the anime totally feels fresh since I have forgotten most of it!
Hmm I'm not sure as most of it is in German, but my most rare thing would probably be a video disk of Kurenai Sanshiro (which got recently subbed, you might want to check it out)

It's my favourite dementia anime (given I don't really like dementia)
Dementia is pretty well, uh, creepy haha so maybe you'll like https://myanimelist.net/anime/9990
