I've lost my old account and can't recover its password so I'll be using this one in the meantime. Won't bother adding stuff in list unless it's something I want to review since there are a lot of series I've watched and I don't have the time or patience to add everything again, nor a backup.
Once I do get it back though this is going to be my main one, so feel free to contact me.

Another review from the double-standards guy who would tell you he is holier than you right in the discussion section of a hentai site. Specimen: "Most of us can relate to the idea of shacking up with the hot teacher (...) [with] 89cm bust, 57cm waist and 86cm hips with an E cup size (...) these descriptions that go to show how the quality of Nande Koko ni Sensei ga?! is A-Grade.". Wrote it and rated 8/10, for a fairly explicit moe-ecchi with slightly above average animation and plot straight from the multi-fetish and reverse pedophilia department - all boys are of course underage. According to the reviewer, this is better than the comparable "Prison School" or "Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken", which are 7/10. While I agree that it's an entertaining ecchi, the over-identification, uncritical praise and a hilariously high rating are little more than thinly veiled begging for pubescent upvotes.
I had my first encounter with Mr. Kappabutt in the Shield Hero forums and it went along the same pattern to describe. Summary: everybody who doesn't condemn the series instantly is a self-inserting incel perv, enjoys male power fantasies, justifies slavery, and is in general a misogynist and borderline pedophile. The only way to escape eternal suffering in cartoon hell is to kiss his ass. And to make it perfect, he was aided by his narcissistic supply boy SS443, who is among the finest brainless attack trolls I've seen on MAL so far. It's not easy having fun. OK, enough whining, I guess we agree anyway.
> The reason I mentioned Fate/stay night is because (opinions about its quality aside) its author is very known for having a writing style of his own.
> (...) Can't say I agree on Fate/Zero, though, since I'm a fan of the series and the Nasuverse and I somewhat like Urobuchi's writing style
Which, see reply, I have issues with. I found it too wooden and it really didn't feel mature, more like wanting to be but not achieving it. That may be related to the fact I never liked superhero stories in any shape and form. I'm the guy who finds "The Dark Night" so-la-la, and thinks Marvel and DC are boring. In the end Fate/Zero hero spirits are just superheros, which I would define as people dressed up funny and solving problems in one-on-one fights. Oh, and I'm no fan of action and fights either, I didn't love One Punch Man and Mob Psycho very much either - I acknowledge the art and the innovation, but it's just not entertaining me. Choreograph your ass off, it's still boring. So now given Fate/Zero is 1/3 fights, 1/3 normies and superheros talking, and 1/3 conspiracy back-plot, I pretty much could at best like the latter. And there definitely are better options in that genre. I'm a handful of episodes away from finishing "Monster", that's daddy's brand. The plan is to give Garden of Sinners a shot, also by Type-Moon, because I hear good things. Maybe that's more my cup of tea from ufotable.
> By the way, since you've liked Sarazanmai, do watch other Ikuhara shows. I find Utena and Penguindrum to be even better
Both on my PTW. Time is the limiting factor. I'm a movie guy (watched almost everything on IMDB's Top 250 and much more, including the B/W stuff) for literally decades (me = senile by anime standards). But I started into the world of TV anime on January 1st 2019 only, and ever since binge to catch up. I'm the list type, and I believe in stochastics. Accordingly I pick what to watch, and already am in black comedy, sci-fi/fantasy, art-house and psychological/dementia in the movies. That turned out to be my genres in anime too. A new discovery was all that Moe/s-o-l stuff (K-On, Melancholy of, Further than the Universe, ...), which I like. There is no real equivalent in regular movie/series for this.
The end game is to check each field on these two meme card, for shits and giggles. That may take a while, though.

BTW: Note that afai see it, Ikuhara ias the only one with two entries in the 2nd chart. But I didn't dilligently check.
Thanks for the kind reminder. He is by far not the first untalented narcicisst king-of-a-fringe-server-hill bully whose brittle ego rest on the fact he is the slimest kid in fat camp I have meet on the interwebz. I cope, I guess. The deal is not to destroy those guys' dreams of grandeur, and in return get them to display basic courtesy when an adult is in the room. That message probably was successfully transmitted.
> Someone who can't even separate his own personal distaste from his job to write a review (where you need to at least try to be as objective as possible,
If only his rant was about taste, sadly it isn't. This "review" is an excuse plot for sending his usual holier-than-you attitude message, maybe based on his own seemingly uptight sexuality. If he discussed anime and taste, that would already be an improvement. Just to make clear what I mean, this is one of the literary gems from the "review".
"A kappa squirms inside three teenage boys’ buttholes (Keppi the molester) steals their 'shirikodama' (...) [they] are turned into kappa’s, Keppi sucks them whole from the backdoor, has constipated grunts and groans as they are pushed out of his rectum a kappa version of themselves like a turd, completely soaked in anal juices, while Keppi lets out a little orgasm with his face painted red from all the blushing." (papsoshea-sensei, AD 2019)
Now I am aroused. Is that bad?
> a "Ikuhara bingo" meme exists (which is what he accuses of being Ikuhara's "own tropes").
I am almost a baby (albeit one binging a lot to grow fast) still with TV anime. Sarazamai was a good opportunity to see a specimen of his style for a very small time investment, that really was the main driver picking it for me. And the experiment succeeded, this was my first but certainly not my last Ikuhara watch.
> No wonder karhu's review, while still negative, was way more well received. (...) I still disagree with, but aren't brought up out of nowhere
You preach the choir, I almost literally sent the same argument to @Mythologically when we discussed the "review". papsoshea's musings are only a thinly veiled homophobic rant and a
sloppy analysis (if any), they are also just horrible writing. (1/10).
P.S. You mention Fate/stay night, which I never watched. Fate/Zero was already such a bad writing (basically a 12 year old pretending to be mature type of story) I dropped the series after S2.
