Hi, I'm Ion, I've loved watching anime since I was a kid. I mostly rate anime compared to others of its genre, so I don't necessarily think a comedy action and a political drama in the same rating are comparable, but comparing them is kinda futile as they go for completely different things. Dragon Ball and Pokémon are basically the series that defined my taste, so I tend to be pretty biased towards them. I just drop anime I find awful and that would probably get a lower score if I finished them, but I'm more prone to drop manga because of less investment in them and because they consume more time. I never delete comments so feel free to leave whatever you want.
1: An anime that I not only found effectively without redeeming aspects, but that I outright hated and/or felt insulted by on a personal level
2: A really bad anime with only minimal redeeming aspects, being so bad that I'm unable to take it seriously and/or be engaged to it on any level
3: A bad anime with major flaws that, unlike a 2, actually manages to make me feel engaged and/or take it seriously on some level, so I can at least respect they tried
4: An averagely bad anime, it can have good scenes and/or ideas, but I ultimately failed to find it good, and in many cases they're plain boring
5: A meh anime that doesn't leave much of an impression and/or bores me immensely despite me not finding it actually bad, or one I'm so conflicted about I'm not sure what to think of it
6: An averagely good anime, an anime that I actually found to qualify as properly good, in which I engaged enough to truly like it, but that I still didn't find outstanding
7: A good anime that I truly enjoyed, not only achieving me considering them good but also outstanding in some way, being considerably above a 6 but still not masterful enough to be a 8
8: A really good anime that excels masterfully in a couple of aspects, being extremely good in quality and getting me to truly engage to the deepest level with it. These can be considered honorary mentions to my favorite anime
9: A really good anime with only minimal flaws, or at least not any flaws I feel are worth considering for what it aimed to do, with practically everything about them being of a masterful quality. These can be considered the lower part of my favorite anime
10: An anime that I found practically perfect, going above and beyond at everything it tried, these anime are such great constructed works of art that I find them fitting of the title of masterpiece. These can be considered the upper part of my favorite anime
I'll see if I can find the title later. What kind of bums me out about it is that the tentacles seem like they get repetitive, and I kind of wish there was some sort of progression, with Evangelion being a good example, since the angels get quite odd and even abstract as they go.
I tried AMS but didn't like it. Someone was raving about it and said I should watch it, and he stopped talking to me around the time I gave it a low rating, though I'm not positive there's a correlation, lol. It definitely seems to be more of a "cult classic."
lol, tbh, what it immediately made me think of was this one mahou shojo eroge VN (I don't really play VNs, so I don't recall the name) someone was raving about, and it sounded so odd that I watched a commentary video. Magical girls were woven into the economy and people would bet on them or something. And so they farm them to fight tentacle monsters in space. And sexuality is somehow linked to their magical powers, so I think they molest them or something to power them up. I don't know. LMAO. I think Lumiere might be something like an innocent version of that, I guess... XD
Only thing I liked about Magical Destroyers was the OP, I think. It seemed to have a small cult following gravitating around it at the time, but no one ever talks about it now. I skipped those other ones too.
Do you think Lumiere is worthwhile at all? I'm not too into mahou shoujo generally, but It kind of felt like it had an "alternative" energy to it, kind of like Magical Destroyers (kind of surprised you skipped it entirely, not that I'd recommend it) from a few seasons back. Also, lmao, Studio Moe. XD
Wasn’t ever thinking about responding cause it’s your own subjective opinion to have in the end, but seeing two Shirou pfps clashing never fails to amuse me.
It looks like a battle of the self, what with the same char in the avatars. XD
You stubbed your toes on the truth train when you called Kaguya Sama a soggy noodle! Seriously, the side characters are practically joy-filled jesters waltzing circles around all the other bland MCs! 🤡 And can we twirl around the dynamic duo? They’re a riot! It’s comedy magic, floating on clouds of laughter! With vibrant art, snappy pacing, swoon-worthy sounds, and serenading voices! A total modern legend! Disliking a diamond doesn’t mean it’s a rock, and flipping the script from “not your jam” to “overhyped” is a slippery slide to nonsense town!
Monster is overrated and literal Inukai-san's Dog shit sprinkles on a gorilla doodoo cupcake in a burning sack at your doorstep/10.
I was somewhat agreeing to you on the Makeine review, but bro, you lost credibility the moment you said Kaguya Sama is overrated. Kaguya Sama's side characters have more development than most mc's out there, do I need to talk about the main duo? And it is still one of the funniest comedy show ever. Excellent art directing, pacing, sound design, voice acting (both Japanese and English) are just icing on the cake. It is, by all means, a modern classic.
It's completely fine to not like a good show. But don't think what "you don't like" is "overrated" and vice versa. I don't like Monster, but it's not overrated. I really like Kaguya Sama, it's also not underrated.
Honestly, I've never understood why some people hate-watch (if that's the right word) anime... A mean score of 4.63.
It's like it's a trend to hate on ANYTHING popular, almost. Reviews so negative that focus on the only 4 negative scenes of a whole series... Gotta hate the entire show now and paint it all in a bad light ! 😭
