My rating system
10 - one of my very favorites. I absolutely adored it!
9 - Almost perfect, maybe a minor flaw.
8 - Very solid. It may not be my absolute favorite ever, but its up there and I highly respect it
7- A very good series, but not without its flaws. Still top quartile of all anime. I really liked it.
6- better than average. Not one of the truly great series, but at least fairly good.
5. generic schlock, I really wouldn't bother. Either that or a vile anime with Godlike production value.
4. Below average crap, maybe something so bad it's good, or crap with a large budget.
3. Horrible anime, but maybe it has a few cheap laughs or a decent budget
2. I absolutely hated this anime, avoid like the plague
1. I HATED HATED HATED this anime. One of the worst of all time!

if I had to say why, the short version would be:
the characters were basically superhuman, and not in a smart way, in a jumping off buildings, making your tits go poof when wearing different clothes and changing the direction of a coin mid air with a hand gun from far kind of way. which wouldn't be that bad, if some of the plans, specially the last one weren't extremely stupid. they only worked because the plot needed them to work. part 1 had plot convenient to some degree, but part two turned that up to a 100. the sherock and moriarty relation didn't have enough build up for the climax, yet a ton of time was wasted on side characters that didn't add anything to the overall narrative.
and finally, the final twist ruined the little impact that the final episode may have had, while also being completely pointless other than the fanservice value. to make it worse it didn't even make sense.
Should have they replicate Ashita no Joe template ? from being a underdog.
For isekai, they copied Kirito "same face" syndrome.
you're a mal legend
I did get Sailor Moon and Eva vibes from the trailer .. thanks for the response !
whats your thoughts on Revolutionary Girl Utera ? what would you compare it too ?
You watched 1000+ anime by the age of 14 ????
It has a lot of problems and it kind of half ruined part one for me
specially with it's ending
I liked that show
Very interesting, that guy has 200K+ subs! But maybe it's possible because his audience is mature, you're not, for example, teens yearning for Pokimane, idk lol, so you don't reach out to him unnecessarily and extensively.
