I'm leaving the review here mostly to gauge how others feel.
I don't really know what to make of the show. It's boring in a strange way.
I feel like the "stakes" aren't really there, and our oppai MC doesn't care about anything happening, nor does it seem to effect her.
Like, let's take the first episode for example.
She IMMEDIATELY accepts the strangeness that just happened, and her first thought is to go and write. She then uses the poem to grow and shrink, even though we JUST established it was doing damage, and could possibly kill her. Huh???
And then we have the two
...
weirdos, Special Eyes, and his sister. I just don't care about them.
Again, Ogawa just doesn't ask anything, isn't concerned, doesn't give a shit. Oh, you two live in an abandoned metro station? I see!
Oh, you want me to pretend to be a student at some school? Sure thing!
Just nothing, absolutely nothing. The logic being "this'll make for a good book!" or something, which is ridiculously flimsy.
The ecchi is nice and Ogawa is a 10/10 but this show definitely isn't. I feel that it's lacking a real "bite" to it, and I know for a fact others feel it too. I wish it was better.
5-6/10
Just watch Dark Gathering

Buta No Liver is... garbage.
A bombshell slave with no friends finds peace with her cute pervert piggu, they walk around and talk and walk some more and talk, and you never feel like there are actually stakes ever.
When the show FINALLY decides to pick up, and get to the meat and potatoes of what the hell is going on with these slave girls—OOPS! We spent all of our budget on that one panty-shot earlier, whoopsie! So what we're left with is one of the absolute worst "fight" scenes ever seen EVER, and a slideshow of stationary objects and feet. Amazing. In a way,
...
it's a befitting end for such a lackluster series.
Let's get to the real issue at hand. Mr. Pig, Slave Girl, Revenge boy, maid girl, who cares— they're inconsequential.
The real problem, is the mages.
For people so smart, so blessed with power, they are absolute MORONS.
"Yeah, you see, we NEED to send our daughters out to be treated like slaves because... WE JUST NEED TO! OK??!"
Bro, just conjure up some condoms, what are you doing?
"I'm not changing my mind on this..."
Good job idiot. No, seriously, who came up with this?
You'd think there would have been some compelling, insane reason for it to HAVE to be this way. Some kind of crazy twist to justify it, like "oh, they're dangerous past a certain age, it was a curse from the gods, yada yada yada" but NOPE, the mages are just actually stupid. It was such a let down.
They don't think to simply limit how many kids they have. No, the clear solution was to kill the boys, and send out the girls at an arbitrary age, so they can come back, at an arbitrary age— BUT they'll only get to come back if they decide to pick up conversation with THE UGLIEST CREATURE IMAGINABLE.
??????
Uh, who exactly was supposed to figure this out?
The whole thing is contrived. And you're telling me, none of the other mages there have pointed this out?
None of them who've come back from being slaves in the outside world want to stop this fate for the other mages born? THEIR OWN CHILDREN?
Really?
Come on now.
The mages flat out deserve to go extinct from how stupid they are. Holy crap.
Anyways, the show is like, a 5/10 without the ending stuff, but it's a 3 with it. It's just too dumb, and nothing stated makes what they're doing make any sense.

This show is trash. Anyone thinking this was "mature", "biting", or "messed up", is actually a literal CHILD.
The girl MC is nothing.
After all of the self-talk about how messed up she is, she doesn't actually do much of anything.
Hell, by the end of the show, she's still a virgin!
All that, after going "omg I'm so bad tehee, im going to focus on my pleasure and being like that hoe-sensei I hate!", because the writer could not commit to sullying his qt3.14 waifu, the sheer thought of it... I shudder.
The guy MC is nothing. Girl MC's crush has a massive mommy complex.
...
He's more than willing to get cucked because she has long hair, like his mommy because ???
Guy MC's crush is just a soulless hoe, and doesn't even seem to like people at all.
Girl MC's best friend pretty much SA's her, but it's ok because she was woman :^).
Guy MC's princess childhood friend is a non character, who cares about her.
This entire show is literally just:
- *Girl MC and Guy MC watch their sensei crushes do ANYTHING*
- Guy MC: *makes out with Girl MC*
- Girl MC: hnnggg kimochiiii
- Guy MC: haha rite, wanna bang forreal?
- Girl MC: no
- Guy MC: ok
-Girl MC: im so messed up... *says nothing of value, poses, and fades into black ink, title card*
over and over again until it's over
bruh this hella ass XD
2/10, one point extra because of the ED

Tengoku Daimakyou is one of the shows of all time. It’s truly a show about nothing, presenting itself as deep and nuanced, with the tact and grace of a bulldozer. I swear, whenever a show has this specific visual style, or a single scene with an aspect ratio change, it instantly gets an 8, regardless of what the content is. It’s crazy.
The show flips between two storylines/timelines. There’s the wastelands of the present, and the past at Promised Neverland Ranch— the source of everything.
Our two protagonists, Maru, and Kiruko, are perfectly suited for sleep aid.
They don’t say anything of value, and are boring.
...
There’s Kiruko, the brain of a moronic boy placed inside of his sister. He enjoys getting off to his sister’s body, and getting off to his sister’s body. (“The occasional faint solace of having inherited the body of someone I loved” ,meanwhile his sister’s brain is still warm, christ what the ????) Kiruko is obsessed with finding Robin, a cool laid back, street smart fixer type who suddenly goes full on edge because REASONS!
And there’s Maru! A cool kid with light hair who’s super strong and can deal with the Hirukos! He’s looking for someone who looks like him, and he doesn’t know who his parents are! Hmmm, who could they possibly be!
They’re on their way to Heaven! They don’t know where it is, or what direction, but surely just picking a direction and praying you stumble upon the right info, and don’t run out of food on the way is a genius move!
Along the way they meet up with the most generic of post-apocalyptic characters, and fight big monsters lacklusterly. Kiruko has a weapon that could one-shot, but she manages to kill one thing the entire show! And it wasn’t even a Hiruko! Wow! She even manages to waste two shots on a concrete column instead of just shooting directly. Now that’s skill!
The two pals have the weirdest of relationships— Maru sees Kiruko as a girl, and Kiruko sees himself as a man. He says this, but proceeds to go full girl mode in subsequent episodes, blushing, getting jealous, even outright offering his/her body to Maru— you know, typical bro behavior! Kiruko won’t ever just directly shoot Maru down though, gotta keep that relationship mysterious!
The gender aspect of Kiruko is handled so horribly. It’s clunky, and again, NOTHING is answered.
The super-epic-out-of-nowhere SA(I’d say the other word but, idk MAL’s stance) scene is so hamfisted and forced, I can’t tell if it was the writer's fetish(1000% more likely) or he was just like, “Ah shit, I need something to get people to care about this…”
I’m not saying you can’t ever do SA scenes, but I think there needs to be some amount of tact to them.
Within MOMENTS of Robin meeting Kiruko, he does that. Really?
Right after Maru’s cuck rage, Kiruko is just like, “hehe, Can’t stay depressed forever!” even though she was there, tied up, and REPEATEDLY SA’d for TWO. WHOLE. DAYS.
??????
And then, after the SA, Haruki starts accepting the fact that he’s now Kiruko.
Are we really going to use SA as the catalyst for that? We’re not going to let this acceptance happen naturally? It comes off as an extremely messed up traumatic coping method.
But again, writer’s fetish.
Anyways, Kiruko rejects Maru’s love by throwing the stone, but Maru ignores it because he’s such a good boy.
Oh right, the other storyline…
The kids at Promised Neverland Ranch are quite dull. Their pastimes include throwing balls and banging each other. They exist solely so you can point at your screen and pog when you realize “OMG! KILLED OFF CHARACTER GLUPPSLOOP WAS ZOOPZOOP AS A KID, YOOOO, I RECOGNIZE THAT CIRCULAR PIECE OF CLOTHING”
The reveals just aren’t interesting.
If you didn’t realize the kids were the weirdos from the get go, that’s on you, but then again— you’re this show’s target audience. Oh right, oh right! Almost forgot!
The facility!
Why is it there?
What was the goal?
Who was bombing it?
Haha! You wanted answers? LOL!
The show doesn’t answer anything. No seriously, what was the point of it all?
I don’t know if this will get a season two. It certainly needs one for the sake of answering questions, but it does not deserve one.
2/10

The biggest issue with "Oshi no Ko" is that it's essentially a bait and switch.
The movie-length first episode presents a scenario which is utterly at odds with the rest of the series. It is a masterclass in the most generic and predictable melodrama imaginable, made specifically for theaters. It definitely worked out for them, the ambience of a theater is sure to tug a couple heartstrings and get people emotionally invested. Watching it regularly however, not so much.
I'd like to care, but I couldn't. It was just TOO predictable. Comically so.
The moment you see the pregnant idol you KNOW she's kicking the bucket.
Absolutely NOTHING from
...
the first episode bears ANY relevance to the rest of the show.
The show may as well not be about reincarnated people. Ai fails to be compelling as a mother figure because she's not really a mother. Reincarnation plots will always make the new mother feel secondary. It especially doesn't help when the two kids are obsessed to a worrying degree, making them feel even less like kids (which they’re not).
All of this culminates in a big disconnect during a scene which should have been emotional.
Now, the characters.
Sarina might as well have not reincarnated. Her drive to be an idol because of her inability to do so in her past life, is about as strong as someone who just wants to be an idol. She follows in Ai's footsteps but not once is bothered, nor brings up Ai's death, nor addresses her mom’s struggles, so she just feels like a clean slate character.
And then there's Aqua. Aqua is unbearable.
He is an unlikable, creepy, manipulative, Light-Yagami-Wannabe. He has absolutely zero reason to act like such an edgelord.
"Oh, but he lost his mom!" — remember— the guy is literally 30 years old— FOURTY-SEVEN by the time we’re at the end of the season. Why is he acting like a chunni? Why is he so damn manipulative to people unrelated to Ai’s murder for no reason? Was he like this when he was a doctor?
And to touch on the revenge aspect a bit— why is Aqua the one seeking revenge? Aqua is just a weirdo obsessed fan. The revenge aspect would be much, much more compelling if it was Ruby. Why? First off, Ruby is younger, so her taking drastic measures already makes more sense. Secondly, Ruby was the one who LOVED, LOVED Ai. Much more than Aqua probably ever did— considering his “love” is arguably just lust. Ruby watched Ai constantly. Her painful life was uplifted by Ai. She dreamt of being reborn into stardom. And she got it. The life she dreamed of, with her star, her object of adoration was RIPPED away from her and—
Nothing.
Aqua is going to be the one seeking revenge. Yeah, that makes sense. So dumb.
But by far, the absolute dumbest thing about these two, is the fact that neither of them have EVER discussed who they used to be in their past life.
This is so blatantly stupid— I honestly can’t get over it. It is so OBVIOUSLY setting up for some "big reveal" later down the line…
In absolutely no universe, would you and another person who've reincarnated NOT be interested in who the other used to be, let alone NOT check in on those you've left behind.
Unless one of you was hiding being a murderer or something crazy, you would ABSOLUTELY discuss that within minutes.
But alas, neither of them seem to care about their past life, or each other’s.
You're telling me Ruby isn't curious about her parents? Aqua isn't curious about his parents or co-workers? They’re not interested in each other's past? At all? Are they just so impossibly obsessed with Ai, they forgot they used to have lives?
And remember, Aqua was a DOCTOR. He just doesn't care about the field he probably dedicated an entire decade to studying. Yeah, okay.
Now onto the show itself. After watching the first episode, you’d think there’d be stakes, drama, and progress being made to solve the mystery, but no.
It’s just a mediocre idol show.
Every episode goes “showbiz bad!” but then, boom— “OMG showbiz good!” with the most transparent and generic critiques possible. Conflict is forced, everything is forced. Who cares. I don’t even need to write anymore.
2/10
Nice art, Good OP, but that’s it.

I'm baffled by the high scores and praise this show is getting. It's just so BLAND and utterly devoid of flavor.
Fuutarou is a slice of stale bread, but the girls all learn to like him because, apparently he's the first guy they've ever met.
I mean, it's pretty typical for male MC's (especially harem ones) to be utterly nothing, but Fuutarou has absolutely zero charm. Other harem MC's are aloof at times or say something funny. They might be bland, but they'll have some quirk about them that makes them attractive. But Fuutarou has none. He's annoying and likes to show off his high grades.
...
He's just standoffish and very curt.
But then again, it makes sense, when you consider 4 out of 5 of the Quintuplets are essentially hating on him or messing with him 90% of the show's runtime. It isn't until the show hits around 8-9 episodes in that it goes, "oh wait, this was a romance with a marriage or something, right? Shieettt", and then all of the girls are rewired into loving this man.
This is the biggest problem with the show— it barely feels like a romance at all. Every single "moment" in the show feels forced and contrived. It's made worse by Fuutarou showing zero emotion back. Does he even like any of them? There is no give and take at all. There is absolutely ZERO (TN: Zero means "none") chemistry between Fuutarou and any of the girls. It's embarrassing that even the most trash of harems contain more chemistry than this show.
It's not actually romantic, and it's not funny either— there isn't even fanservice, so there's nothing to make up for the weak points.
I don't even need to talk about the plot, because plot isn't why anyone sits down to watch a romance or harem— you watch it for character interactions, and there are NONE to be found here. Avoid.
3/10 (gets points for the ED)

First off, if you're easily squeamish you might wanna pass.
That said, I don't think any of it is THAT graphic. Tone and believability have much more impact than visuals, and the sheer absurdity of Dead Tube makes even the most vile and messed up moments utterly comical.
I'm not sure why I decide to pick this up, but I was compelled to read on. It definitely hooked me in, but it falls apart FAST.
The arcs get worse and worse, but you just gotta see where it goes... What can it do to up the ante?
Characters aren't likable in the slightest, and not a
...
single character acts like a human being. Death is just a "gee that sucks" in the world, and SA(I would use the harsher word but I'm not sure about MAL's stance on it) is a minor inconvenience at best.
Personality is non-existent other than "hnggg, gooreeeee..." or, "hngggg, sexxxxxx..." Anytime there is someone who might possibly have a personality, they get axed.
The premise of Dead Tube itself is sort of interesting(especially the "penalty" idea, which doesn't get used enough), but the execution is such garbage, that most of the time it feels like they're recording videos for no one and mysteriously receiving large sums of money— money we never see anyone spend, and the only time we do ironically enough, is for supplies in a Dead Tube video. There is absolutely nothing done to show Dead Tube's influence on the world, we are just told "they have ways". Uh, okay???
Everyone and their mother seems to know about Dead Tube paying for views, yet they're blissfully unaware death brings the most views. Woah, a website called DEAD Tube, having a preference for DEATH? H-how could this be???
Dead Tube is so popular yet so secretive, they can lock up an entire school for days on end, with not a single parent or police officer not involved in Dead Tube investigating.
Dead Tube is so popular yet so secretive, people can be killed in broad daylight in Tokyo, and no one will say anything.
Dead Tube is so popular yet so secretive, they can gather a group of TWO THOUSAND people to watch a fight, USE EXPLOSIVES to KILL EVERYONE there, and have ZERO investigation happen. Ok, this is just ridiculous...
In spite of its overly edgy, arguably horrific content, I can't really bring myself to rate it lower than a 3.
It's dumb and mindless, but entertaining dumb and mindless— well, for a bit anyway.
I don't recommend it, but if you're not too hung up about edgy stuff, it might be a entertaining enough way to spend couple hours.
Just make sure you stop after the "Vtuber" arc. GENUINELY no reason to continue. It turns really boring.
3/10 Hot Garbage

Serial Experiments Lain is a show that comes up on many people's "must watch" lists. Honestly, no clue how that happened.
I swear, this is one of those shows people add to their list so they feel smart.
Sorry, but no...
It's not very engaging or compelling. When it finally does get interesting, it does so in short bursts. Most of the time is spent listening to electrical buzzing and lain staring at walls, turning her head slowly. The show is fine, but I don't think it's a must watch, nor something to eventually get to.
I'm gonna just come right out and say it.
Most
...
people like this show because of the opening, and that is IT.
It cannot be overstated how hard that opening carries everyone's opinion of the show.
It's a damn good song with awesome 90's grungy-techy visuals to go along with it. I've listened to it countless times now, both just from watching the OP, and listening to the full version endlessly in my free time. But just because I love the OP, doesn't mean I need to love the show.
Just watch the OP, and skip the show. You'll "understand" it just about as much as most of the diehard fans anyway. 😅

Hametsu Flag Season 2 takes everything that was somewhat fun in the first season and completely throws it out the window in favor of the most bland, do-nothing plots you've ever seen. 9 out of the 12 episodes are forgettable (very generous), and when something happens to develop a supposed "relationship", Katarina is quick to forget and return to her smooth-brained sweet-snacking status quo.
It's typical for harem shows to stunt the development of relationships, as doing so would "pick favorites" and destroy the harem, but you can't just have NOTHING happen like this, especially when there's so many involved. There's barely even infighting, or
...
jealousy. It was a mistake to have only 2 of the 7 (mainline harem) display their love so overtly.
There's a shocking lack of character development.
The harem members are caricatures at this point, with some getting almost zero screen time.
They should have each been given one on one time with Katarina, at least so she'd notice something, but this chick is only into food— hell— that's her entire personality.
Katarina has regressed. She doesn't do anything this season which would justify people's infatuation.
She just eats and nods, that's it. People are more amused by her antics than anything, so the love feels forced.
She NEVER acknowledges what anyone says. She is IMPOSSIBLY dense— I guess she hit her head harder than we initially thought.
There's a particularly egregious scene with Katarina and Maria. Maria says something serious and heartfelt. Katarina just stares blindly with her :^) face, goes "hai!", and the scene is over. What Maria said could not possibly be interpreted lightly, yet Katarina does what she does best— act like a brick wall.
Even worse is that one scene in the last episode. OOF.
I think there is enjoyment to be had with a dense harem MC, but it comes at the risk of getting old extremely fast, and this show's already way past that point.
Also, can we be real, this show does NOT need magic. It's barely utilized, and is only there for plot contrivance and a couple fanservice scenes— scenes which honestly don't even need magic.
Ok, last thing, this season was in desperate need of a girl kiss, just saying 🤷♂️

This show is... boring.
Whatever direction you thought it was headed in the first 2-3ish episodes is NOT where it goes at all. In retrospect, it's like those episodes are from an entirely different show.
It becomes the most tedious and drawn out pseudo crime mystery drama story you've ever seen, with a bunch of characters you don't care about, and lore that makes your eyes roll to the back of their skull. To make it more fun, the show decides the main bulk of the plot should take place in one empty room. Whoever came up with that is truly a genius.
This is one
...
of those times where I can honestly say, I cannot see this being anyone's favorite show. There are a lot of bland or crappy shows out there, but at least there's SOME element to grab onto. There's nothing here.
It's just so BLAND and BORING which is a shame because the initial premise seemed like it could be fun.
It's not funny, it's not witty, not clever, it's absolutely nothing. The show is the equivalent of stale bread.
Do not bother.
