Is MF Ghost Season 2 Better Than Season 1? Sure.
Is it better than Initial D? Not even close.
Is it bad? Not in my opinion, but I feel I should lay out the problems and let you be the judge.

Since MF Ghost is the successor to Initial D, it makes sense to compare the two. Initial D is one of my all-time favorite anime, and it sets a high bar.

Let’s break this down, starting with the negatives before moving to the positives.
(Note: It’s far easier to explain this anime’s faults than its strengths, so expect more detail in the negatives.)

The Negatives:

Good, but Quite Disappointing
I wouldn’t say “don’t watch this,” but I do believe “365 Days to the Wedding” sets up expectations it doesn’t fully meet. The initial episodes suggest the characters will be unique and decently well-developed. And while I wouldn’t call them generic, the anime has its fair share of flaws. To help you decide if this is worth your time, I’ll break down the issues before delving into its strengths.

Here’s the main list of problems:
• Melodrama
• Slow Pacing & Lack of Character Development
• A Weird and Goofy Premise

Here’s the main list ...

Not bad, not amazing, and kind of weird.

This is not a bad anime by any means, I have watched much worse than this, but there's also some much better anime then this too, and definitely ones that are less weird.

Let me elaborate on each point.
The Good:
1. Really good animation quality for such an obscure anime, it's animation is really crisp, and bold, if can understand that. I almost find it to be a waste being used on this anime since it's so good.
2. The story is somewhat bland & cliché and feels like a lot of this is a small harem, considering the few women ...

Not horrible, but still not recommendable.

"Atri: My Dear Moments" is an anime that really could've been good, but always came across as being a somewhat poor adaptation, plus it misses a lot of the earlier episode charm that made the anime good in the first place.

Lets start off with the good.
1. Good animation:
Visually, this anime is a win. The animation is smooth and vibrant, with real attention to detail. Unlike many low-budget animes that cut corners on backgrounds and character movement, this one actually looks like some effort went into it. Props to the animators for making it look this good.

2. Great episodes (For the ...

I'm not the type to absolutely hate something very often, but when I do, it's overrated garbage-heap anime that are generic but try to be different, but then do the exact same formula as all other basic reversed roles action fantasy anime.

"Wistoria: Wand and Sword" is mainly bad since it had potential, some of the best anime are ruined by their unrealized potential by the original Manga/Light-Novel authors or by the main director of the anime adaptation. I'll be honest, I never read the manga for this anime, and I hope that the manga is different from this anime, since this has immense potential that ...

The Fable (Anime) add
Fable is a fantastic anime with one major flaw—its pacing.

There’s no doubt that Fable is an amazing anime. It’s got a unique premise, cool characters, and an awesome story. But it’s not perfect, and there are a couple of issues that stop it from being truly great.

1. Pacing:
Fable probably has the worst pacing of any anime I’ve ever watched. It's so slow, in fact, that I would even go as far as saying that multi-season TV shows like "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" handle pacing better than this. If they compacted all the filler, slow dialogue, drawn-out scenes, and cliffhangers; the producers probably could've ...

Failure Frame has a decent story, but it’s held back by bad CGI, too much fanservice, and an underdeveloped plot. That said, I actually found it pretty enjoyable overall, and I think it’s a bit misunderstood. The problems don’t make it bad—they just pile up and take away from what could’ve been a great show.

Firstly, I liked the twist on the usual reincarnation theme, where the protagonist gets betrayed by a goddess. It’s not the most original take, but it was still a nice change of pace for an isekai series.

Now, onto the visuals—this is where things get messy. The animation quality is all over ...

I can't call 2.5 Dimensional Seduction bad, but it definitely falls short of what I expected given its potential.

The biggest issue? Censorship. Specifically, of the, ahem, scantily clad scenes, which are pretty much the entire point of the manga.

Now, if you're adapting an ecchi series, shouldn't it be faithful to the source material? The main problem here is the PG-13 rating, which limits the very thing the manga was built on—cough borderline soft-core porn cough. Sure, some PG-13 anime push boundaries with ecchi content, but this one censors most of what made the manga popular: provocative cosplay that's, let’s be honest, one slip away from ...

This is a "what if a 90s depressed & suicidal grunge alt-rock artist (Kurt Cobain) was turned into an early 1900s anime protagonist", which isn't a bad thing.

"No Longer Allowed in Another World" is a really good anime with just a very slow start. The first few episodes take their merry time to speed up, but once the pace actually speeds up, it gets much better to watch.

Lets start with whats good:
1. The Animation:
The animation is very pleasing to the eyes and doesn't have jank CGI like some animes that were released this season. Really well produced and has very crisp animation.

2. The Characters:
At first ...

"Ossan Newbie Adventurer" is good, but really had the possibility to be so much more than what it came out to be.

Let me explain what wasn't as good, then I will go onto what is likeable:
1. Forcing good characters to be somewhat bland due to mediocre backstories:
The characters are good, but their backstories are a bit flat. Rick, for example, just wants to get stronger to be an adventurer—nothing we haven’t seen before. He kind of gives off One Punch Man vibes but without the humor or depth. Reanette is there mostly to support Rick, and while Broughston gets some backstory in the last episode, ...
