Highest rated season, insanely high rate of negative reviews, oh yeah, it's vote botted trash.
S1 was great with mystery and a broadly tight-knit plot and great cinematography. S2 the plot continued to get away from itself with a lot of contrived nonsense and silliness. S3 is just dumb.
It has literally become the generic isekai of fellating Japanese culture in another world, lusting lolis, random evil cultists attacking evilly, exposition-dump pep talks of brain-damaging dialogue, etc. There is barely even a plot beyond charge head first at the baddies, and the unique time looping mechanic is all but tossed aside to avoid solving what would be

Entirely and drastically inferior version to the Hellsing Ultimate reboot. This covers the same story but was made before the source material was finished so it has an uninspired filler ending of a fight with some generic cringe evil vampire. Starts of slow and after ep 1 the cinematography falls off completely. Even the story itself goes nowhere with nothing to say even sidelining the Judas Priest. The characters are boring since the dialogue is all pointless filler. The art is low-effort and poor resolution.
Just watch Hellsing Ultimate instead, and if you want an alternate version done conceivably better, watch the TeamFourStar Hellsing Ultimate Abridged ...

Not much to say about generic Cringe Girls Doing Cringe Things since its just a childishly dramatized concept of 4 friends going on a work-vacation to Antarctica.
From its title and people promoting it as their lord and savior I'd assumed it was some deeply touching fantasy exploration, wouldn't it have been great if it were something philosophical like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? But no, it's just SoL slop with barely anything in it. I mean do these idiots even know what the word universe means? Surely they don't or they wouldn't be stroking themselves off to it to name drop the title in their ...

Generic DnD party's story to defeat the demon king retold in DemonSLayer flashback style during the parallel DnD party's story traveling through generic Tolkienesque Europe to totally not defeat the demon king. This is high-budget fantasy slop with zero originality. Literally just throwing money at the wall along with pay to win ratings. If you aren't media illiterate you'll notice a ton of internal inconsistencies and boring monster/sidequest of the week garbage, otherwise you'll clap when the pretty colors go by.
The entirely 1-note and otherwise forgettable plot just keeps digging straight to tropey shounen hell for the pointless exam-tournament arc. This generic show doesn't deserve the ...

This series is for sub girls. If you don't want a perfect fantasy tall pretty boy dom infantilizing his sub girl from day 1 all touchy-feely without consent like a pickup-artist while criticizing the same thing in simp childhood friend then this story isn't something you'll like. (This series is the sexual harassment vs flirting meme).
It infantilizes its deaf FMC in every way (she has never encountered anything outside Japan online, and the author depicts racist stereotypes in one of the few times when anything abroad is actually depicted). It uses her deafness as token representation as the sole distinguishing feature of this generic shoujo romance ...

FYI the dub (having an actual deaf VA for the fmc and improved dialogue) is so much better than the sub.
Summary: This movie had a lot of potential and did so much well but shot itself in the foot so often. So much of it is just so hamfisted, so on-the-nose. The characters are so exaggeratedly overdramatic, the plot so contrived. It really is hard not to be frustrated by it, especially because the issues would've been so easy to avoid. Aside from the beginning and end, the MC and FMC are just such frustrating wet blanket characters forced to watch ineffectually while things happen ...

The theme song is 'auvers blue' a meaningless phrase. This foreshadows the show, which is similarly vapid, written/drawn/directed by juvenile manchildren with nothing to say about the few concepts brought up. Everything about it is silly spectacle garbage and childish poop/sex joke level nonhumor children could come up with in a day, drawn at the level of childish sketches like some kind of extremely low-effort western 'adult' animation. The characters are unbelievably boring. The plot is dumb Romeo & Juliet nonromance drama that goes nowhere and doesn't try anything really.
I'd recommend Beastars instead for something that actually has something to say about the topic of ...

It's a lot like the Evangelion Rebuild 3.0. There's very little plot or character depth, just a post-apocalyptic excuse for action sequences and overall surface-level childish morality questions of: war is bad? bigotry is bad? The antagonist is effectively just a Posadist Hitler a 2d cutout spouting hypocritical nonsense, throwing away the only opportunity the anime allows itself to have any depth in it. One of the only other actual characters is effectively mute and goes nowhere while the other antag is just a mentally deficient manchild soldier who can barely talk. You'll note the main character Hayami goes through an immediate character 180 after

It's just not funny. I can only watch so many dozens of episodes of a comedy without a single joke landing. The "humor" is childish poop jokes, dick jokes, violence, etc. and I suppose references to other Japanese media that actually did something with their time rather than just saying "remember that?" Where funny?
Barely any plot beyond dumb filler of the week nothings that never matter and go back to comedy jail of irrelevant status quo after wasting your time. Barely any character depth of any substance beyond Shatner over the top cringe and dumb caricatures. The art/animation is low quality and uninteresting in s1.

S1 had a story to tell, S2 does not. That alone immediately disqualifies this season as soulless cash-grab filler not worth watching.
It's simply 2 arcs of a pointless action battle royale and a siege mission in which the boring shooting action gets drawn out 5x longer by pointless stuff and brain-damaging dialogue filler. The characters may as well be completely different people in-game vs irl because of how bad the lack of character consistency is. The environmentalism and anti-war messaging was thrown in so hamfistedly and shallowly/briefly that it was comical and borderline damaging to its cause. The barest of game mechanics they did establish such as with ... |
