just wanted to say i liked your review. you pointed out a lot of stuff that most people like to ignore when it comes to a problematic anime. it was truthful and appeared unbiased.

Man didnt even finished the anime, drops it on the first ep (probably the first minute) and gives a score 1...

dem brah, only one of your reviews is well liked

You make some very fair points! You're also right in pointing out how long ago I wrote that review: I haven't gone back and cleaned out the old reviews in a while, so there's plenty of stuff in them that I disagree with. For reference, on my actual list right now Nisemonogatari has a 6/10 (I gave Bake a 7.)

As I've gotten older (and I'm really not that old yet, I promise) I've definitely found I agree more with your second point, that stories should be reviewed based on how well they accomplish what they set out to and not on whether or not I as an individual agree with the ideas they're spreading. It's become fairly obvious that nearly every anime/TV show has at least some elements of it that I disagree with, and to condemn them based on that would really just be a waste of time and a terribly personal way to critique media. It's still something I take into account, but at a very different scale. I do, however, think that there are nuances to it. Nise doesn't deserve that 1 because Nise isn't a story with the primary objective of promoting sexual harrassment. It's part of a very thorough character drama examining various unhealthy mentalities and how to change them. It's good at this, which should be acknowledged. The fanservice is a crappy afterthought at worst. On the other hand, I've recently been watching Grand Blue, and that's a show I feel is inseparable from its central and constant objective to promote the merits of college Greek Life. As someone who's been to college parties I can say with certainty that it's rosy depiction of binge-drinking and gender-role assessment are extremely inaccurate to the point of stupidity, and I feel it's fair to condemn that show for trying to depict a controversial lifestyle in a blatantly misleading way.

You're also right that at that time I was being condescending to people younger than me. As a teacher now, I definitely don't underestimate kids. I think people of all ages are far more discerning and self-aware than we give them credit for. However, intelligent people of all ages can be affected by repeated exposure to media, and just like my Grandmother has watched enough Fox News to start wondering if Obama was actually a Muslim terrorist, so have I already seen people posting comments on Grand Blue episodes like 'I'm gonna make my college life like this!" or "damn, I wish my life in college has been more like this." I would no longer make the foolhardy claim that it's our youth specifically that are at risk from propaganda media bubbles. It's everyone. Regardless of whether we take this into account when reviewing, it's still something to keep in mind.

Overall though, thanks for pointing out those issues with that review. I agree with a lot of what you said, and I always appreciate constructive criticism!

lol np, thx for the review so I didn't waste my time w that anime, also jesus that guy before went off on u for some reason, like the feminist bit was unneccesary, but he got pissed lmao

saw ur review, I agree completely with your bit about isekai anime, cuz thats exactly why I love the genre, the sense of exploring and worlding buildilng, learning new shit, its intriguing, but otherwise I'm not picky with anime at all, especially regarding the feminist part, I fucking hate feminists lmao, but I get watcha mean bout the girls being boring and just all over him, I don't mind that in some anime, but I have a feeling this anime is one of those anime that make it annoying or not even enjoyable to watch. Either way overall ur review was useful as I'm not gonna even bother with this anime, idc bout girls, animation, a lot of things, but no point wasting my time if they fucked up the isekai part that much, I love the genre, but there's so many these days I don't wanna waste time with the low tier ones.
so thx

regarding Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria it is not great. Combining norse customs with greek cities and war tactics and with middle ages fortifications is not very realistic, but complaining about mysoginy is dumb. First off you have a female leader and a female general which in most of history never happened for a number of reasons: 1. women are much weaker physically than men 2. thy have periods so if an war starts at the wrong time they become unavailable 3. they have babies thus resulting in a period of unavailability as well and more than that without babies the society dies (something modern society has forgotten) thus is not feasible to risk the life of women and thus risk dying as a society by calling them to war.
Also I am unsure in what world you live on but women were always attracted by powerful men and always will be. The welfare state allows them to pretend they are independent but they are optimised for making and raising toddlers. They are inferior to men on anything unrelated and is just biology. And every experiment where women had to survive by themselves for extended periods of time showed they cannot do it.
Also the moment a real war starts all women will drop the feminist pretenses and line up behind men. Feminism is not new, is something that happened before in the history of human civilisation. The moment a society becomes strong enough to have relative peace women demand for rights then the welfare state and then the whole thing goes to hell because the economy cannot support the ever increasing welfare state and also since women have less children they lack both military and working power to resists. And thus they collapse just as it happened to ancient rome.

I agree Hyakuren was very bad, but remember he was transported to ancient times. Time when women were inferior to men so it makes sense.

Thanks, my dude! Death March is beautiful in the sense that it truly brings people together, even if it's just to shit on it.

Also: Finish Ousama Game. The whole show is hysterically bad, but the ending is the ridiculous cherry on top.

You should try Ousama game kigen (manga) or Ousama game (manga) , anime adaptation is cancer
