Sotsu was not only bad compared to the original anime but it was bad compared to its previous season (Gou) which really seemed promising. That ending especially was abysmal! Stay clear from this one.

The first season of this anime was simply amazing. I don't know what they were thinking scraping entirely huge sections of the manga to progress.

Half the ''movie'' was a hasty recap. The other half was so damn bad and it didn't make any sense. Don't even think watching it.

Where to begin with this one. Everything was so damn bad (animation was ok). Even the opening was bad. They even put blurred imagery, despicable!

NO! I was so damn excited this anime was getting another season and then they delivered this. The 1st season told everything needed to be told, this anime offers nothing at all.

The original Code Geass has the best ending in anime history. The only reason to make a sequel (that was mid at best) is one and only: Milk money from the fans.

Why did you even brought this anime back? They did a recap for half the episodes and then they told the most mid story i've ever seen. Stay with the previous seasons.

Worse story, zero character development. Borefest. Use as sound background, not that it has any notable soundtrack that is.

Why?Just why? Recap for more than half the movie and then they butchered the ending.

Totally unnecessary. They even put a sex scene (kinda) for some reason.

They speedrun the dialogue so much, you couldn't even understand what the voice actors were saying. That's the 1st time i've seen such a stupidity. An insult to Steins;Gate.

How can an anime like this compare to Fate/Zero. A quick cash grab excuse of an anime.

The only thing that made me watch this hilariously bad animation was the story. They tried to adapt the good storybits of the manga and didn't skip much. Berserk deserves way better than this.

You should watch only the last 2 episodes of this anime. The animation is superb like the previous one but the first 10 episodes are literally filler.

This season suffered from the lack of good characters. The previous season had such an interesting cast but this cast was just boring like its story. Thankfully, the 3rd season improved somewhat.

Huge downgrade to the previous season. The change of animation studio really hurt this anime. Mid-man.

The downgrade in animation is very noticeable. I haven't watched it yet but i don't expect much. I watched the previous season because i loved White Fox studio but with the change of studio, the future is bleak for this one.

I saw some clips of this remake and it was like i was watching the previous anime. Why do you even need to make a remake if you don't offer anything new?

I'm just really sorry for the fans of the previous seasons. That season was butchered so bad. And from the looks of it, they'll continue to do so.

Never watched Naruto but i know the general plot. I did read all the complaints of the fans and by the looks of it, they are all right, that anime is shit. I watched some of the animation quality and it was hilarious seeing Boruto trying to shit' faces.
