Watching this felt like I was being gaslit. It has so many aspects that I enjoy yet it manages to execute them in terrible ways. It made wonder, am I "too old" for it? But thankfully, upon finishing it I can say for certain, it is legitimately just overhyped and I just don't like many aspects of it so far.
I read the manga a short while ago, just the first two volumes since it was already receiving a lot of hype and received a lot of praise, and I hated the characters, story and humor. Upon finishing the first season of the anime, I now
...
enjoy some of the characters but not much else has changed about my stance on the other two.
The story takes itself way too fucking seriously and I don't understand why. As for the characters...
Okarun I think has grown on me a bit more, he's still kind of pathetic but in a cuter way and his voice actor did a great job, making me feel some sympathy for him. Momo however? She feels like a offensive portrayal of a mentally challenged person. Seriously wtf is her problem? The best I can say about her is that she was at the very least more likeable than the pink bitch. Perhaps if I enjoyed the relationship with her and Okarun (because every episode will constantly try to shove that down your throat) I would like her more but the romance just plain sucks and I couldn't get into their dynamic.
Turbo Granny is absolute peak and what managed to kept me from dropping this show entirely, I think if the second season focuses more on her this series might become actually enjoyable because she is the only entertaining and interesting character. Well, I did also enjoy Jiji, but he comes in very very late into the series so he doesn't actually do much outside of being cringe. I do like his friendship/rivalry thing with Okarun going on right now.
Overall, it definitly has more potential and I might've written it off to early. I'll likely continue sticking with the anime adaptation.

If you are shy on checking this out because of the premise...good. Make sure to stay away. You don't deserve good things.
For anyone who isn't a massive, nose turned up, prude with a massive stick up your moral ass, Tsumasho is pretty alright.
It's a bit of a bumpy ride, especially midway through the tone shift feels sudden sometimes compared to the early more slice of life aspects. Like yeah you already knew there was gonna be some strong emotional drama but at the end it really deals with a topic that should've been obvious but you just don't really acknowledge.
Or maybe you do, it
...
depends on which character you resonate with the most. I really understood Mai's point the most because if my mom died and she would just seemingly magically come back I would just accept it and not question anything. Her delusion got sort of annoying at the end, but ultimately I can't help but feel sorry for her because death just ISN'T easy to accept.
The animation is decent, sound design wise it's also pretty passable, but ngl after the 5 episode or so I really started to despise the ending theme song.
Overall it's pretty solid, brought down by the middle part but beginning and end pack a neat ol' emotional punch in the gut.

Baki simultaneously has the dumbest writing ever and yet one the most compelling stories.
Pretty much any character that gets introduced (expect for Yujiro) eventually jobs, dies or just completely fades to the background for long stretches of chapters, making it so that when they show up again you have zero clue who the hell that even is because in the span of their dissapearance like 5 other guys with absolute batshit insane backstories show up.
It's also one that's simultaneously ugly yet also beautiful. I especially loved how the hair was drawn later on. There is so much detail on a page that seems so simple
...
at first glance. From the muscles to the veins, the eyebrows, and best of all (I find) are how the mouths change and contort depending on the character's emotions and mental state.
Yujiro is an absolute monster in the worst way possible and the more you read the more you get legitimately intimidated by this absolute creature of a man. Due to this being the first part in a loooooooooooooooooooong and old series you don't even get to know just HOW and WHY this man is so powerful and the sheer embodiment of lust for battle.
There are so many negatives I found such as the pacing, weak/samey personalities, sudden twists that are more confusing than engaging, a lot of sexism and a even MORE amount of jobbing. Yet most of these qualities I found myself not caring about much because I constantly went "what the fuck" in the best way possible.
It starts off a bit weak and normal, but by the time Yujiro is introduced you'll understand why.

A delightful story about friendship with exquisitely sprinkled in fanservice.
The comedy was mostly hit or miss for me but even when I didn't find a particular chapter funny I still enjoyed the character development and/or the friendship slowly building between the four girls.
Shion especially was a great example, due to her being mostly portrayed as a spoiled ojousama I was worried that she was gonna be essentially a ball and chain with a cute face, constantly causing some sort of bullshit to happen but never getting in trouble due to everyone else being so passive, but instead she grows quite well and even if
...
she was still mostly useless she still served as a great mood booster for the group.
The story is overall about the bonds between people and that "independence" can lead to isolation. Sure it's nice when you don't have to worry about yourself ever possibly dying or just having the general ability to live on thanks to your personal knowledge and skills, but if you live life all on your own you tend to feel...empty.
Like what are you even living for, who are you even living for.
Homare learns the meaning of human relationships and starts to realize that the three girls she's met are much more than just friends, they're girls who have taught her what life truly means and that she can be no longer satisfied eating cicadas on her own, she wants to share and talk and laugh and bond, deep down, she really just wants to be a highschool girl.

Every bit of good that was in this film was squandered and/or wasted potential. It brings in interesting concepts but doesn't do shit with them as we instead follow one of the worst plotlines yet in these movies.
The concept of an alternate universe where everyone is more carefree and goofy is interesting, I would've liked to seen more of these different versions from our cast...BUT, instead of doing that, this is a movie in which Naruto grows to respect what his parents have done for him????? Like do I even need to explain how absolutely fucking stupid and out of character this is?
At first I
...
though it's because the movie took place before the pain arc, but NO we get a flash back to Naruto meeting Minato in the big sparkly soul room so this HAS to take place afterwards. Did he just...forget? Did he forget everything they talked about? Look he should be used to seeing other happy families at this point, seriously where did this sudden bitterness come from???
This is also the first movie where Sakura has some sort of plot relevance, specifically she learns to appreciate her own parents...her parents, which don't fucking exist. THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE MAIN STORY, WE NEVER MEET SAKURA'S PARENTS UNTIL THIS FUCKING MOVIE AND SOME SHIPPUDEN FILLERS. Why should we care? Legitimately why should we care about these literal whos?
Beyond that she's basically just the token damsel in distress that appears in like every single one of these movies. It was nice getting a character we actually know in trouble rather than some rando but ultimately I just didn't find myself caring about either character's plotline because of how fucking stupid they are.
I can't say much about this last bit, as to avoid spoilers, but the villain really pissed me off too. We NEVER learn what his exact motivations are and why he is commiting war crimes, he is just evil for the sake of being evil because...it would be cool, I guess. To be fair, he was kinda cool, but also just so damn shallow.
Couldn't they sprinkle in something? That perhaps someone close to him died or something basic like that? It's better than literally nothing.
It's bad, if you are interested in a Naruto multiverse perhaps this may be interesting to you but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Take everything you disliked in the previous Part 1 movies and condense them into one film with absolutely ZERO redeeming factors, mix it together with uninspired anime original designs and lowkey the main cast acting out of character and you'll get Gekijouban Naruto Shippuuden.
Why did THIS script have to be made into a movie? Seriously this might as well be just another filler arc where they once again introduce some village we have never heard of before in a region we don't care about and with characters that no one gives a crap about.
What especially pissed off that they didn't even bother with a
...
new setting. Oh wow, a massive forest and rock road! Never seen that one before. The Part 1 movies at least bothered to put our characters in different places that we haven't seen them in before.
Naruto and Sakura acted more like exaggerated caricatures of themselves, seriously wtf. Naruto may be brash and goofy but he's not this fucking stupid and Sakura may be bitchy and violent but she wouldn't just laugh at the idea of someone 100% dying in the future. I don't understand why Neji is here, Lee got all the cool moments whereas Neji is just kind of standing around and looking pretty. He has his short bits here and there but goddamn out of everyone he had the least amount of screentime.
Shion fucking sucks, I don't care what anyone says. Up until now we've had this same spiel over and over. The princess, the knight and the prince, all of them had the exact same shit going on. She starts off as really cold and mean, suddenly Naruto shows up and slowly warms her heart, then we find out she's actually got baggage which is why she's such an asshole to everyone, and then everything is fixed in the end thanks to Naruto as usual.
Now what's the difference here, what makes her so much worse than the rest? She is genuinely just a worse version of Koyuki. Her backstory is not as engaging in comparison with Koyuki and her personality is too bland for you to invest in her bullshit in the first place. Shion's crabby attitude towards everyone was not charming in the slightest and I didn't feel anything for her at the end.
Gekijouban Shippuuden is just a standard filler arc brough to the big screen, not reccomended.

Despite what others might tell you, the characters are not interesting nor likeable. The story is dumb. The genderbending yuri bait is lackluster. Most of the girls are unsexy and worst of all is the romance. Why is the romance the worst? Because the couple we are supposed to root for suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Suzu is so boring. She starts off as alright, kinda bland, but eventually she just becomes so unlikeable due to everyone in the story loving her for literally no reason. Legitimately she has very little personality traits that stand out in any way and out of all the girls introduced she has the
...
most forgettable design. Her boobs and ass are average and she's consistently such a bore.
Matsuri is no better. While he's not quite as boring as Suzu, he has the same problem as her of having very little to invest in. He has a bit of a goofy side to contrast with his attitude in battle, but beyond that he's just...meh. Whenever he turned back into a boy he had absoluetly zero main character energy, the one thing I somewhat enjoy about him is his female counterpart design.
The other characters are no better, hell the one character I did like (Ninokuru) quickly sours as they repeat the same joke over and over and over and fucking over with him.
This is gonna be a bit controversial (maybe?) but I dislike Yabuki Kentarou's character design. I have not read the To Love-Ru manga in full but I have read certain scenes on certain websites, and I just plain do not enjoy the way he draws faces or bodies. Like his style is not bad, it's just that I have seen sexier and cuter girls in other manga that aren't even within the ecchi spectrum.
The lewd scenarios aren't really anything special either. Oh wow a guy falls into a girl's vagina/cleavage, gee never seen that before. I wish there was more erotic emphasis on the ayakashi and the ninja theme, like how come there's so little bondage? There should be more bondage if ninjas are involved!!!

Old man yaoi. Old man backshots. Old man sloppy toppy. Old man.
A very cute and simple story about a young man falling in love with a much older man that cooks meals for/with him. There's really not much to it, just a short fluffy romance with a age gap hook and cooking fun.
Honestly I wasn't even sure I was gonna like this, many reccomendations I've seen for this are from pseudo-fujos who only consume "safe" and wholesome chungus BL stuff but put down anything that is even slightly spicy, so I knew that this was gonna be about as exciting as a bag of flour.
Still,
...
it's not like it was bad or anything, something more generic and straight forward love stories are a good palate cleanse compared to the stuff I usually read.
It's a good nice time, noting too deep but not shallow either.

The best way to describe this would be a diet soda version of "Welcome to the NHK", it's about a social outcast who one day meets a girl that wants to change him for the better. It's not a complete rip off though.
Tomozaki is a bitter person at the start who believes video games are his only friends and he never imagined that anyone in class could ever give a shit about him.
As he rises higher and higher in levels he gains more friends and more confidence, he starts to view the people close to him not always necessarily on bottom or top tiers and
...
despite still staying a gamer, he goes beyond his initial bias and actually pushes forward to also have passions in the real world.
Overall it's really sweet...But...one big problem.
Hinami.
This character, this fucking character, is awful. She sucks so bad.
Her fake smile and public personality pissed me off everytime and her relationship with Tomozaki is complete bullshit that would never work if it wasn't for Tomozaki being so submissive and breedable.
She does get a few, very very few, good moments in the second half of the story, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get into the friendship between her and Tomozaki. She's genuinely just not a very interesting character and while she pushed Tomozaki forward at the beginning, eventually I was wondering why the hell she was STILL pulling this shit.
Her ideas and demands on how Tomozaki would be happier did make sense, but eventually she just gets so goddamn annoying and begins feeling redundant once the other, much more enjoyable characters also begin helping out Tomozaki.
It's not a bad anime, but my enjoyment was in the negative anytime Hinami was onscreen.

I want to smash in Chitose's face with a hammer, he's such a massive piece of shit.
He's genuinely just a bad person but the story doesn't have the balls to actually call him a full on piece of human dog shit with two legs. It SLIGHTLY touches upon on that, but immediatly within the next few chapters it brings up all these things about how he's actually the best guy ever.
Every girl we get introduced to seems to have feelings for him because he's just sooooo cool. He manages to shut down the strawmen instantly because he's just soooo awesome. He is just such
...
a amazeballs guy with an awesome liife and a ton of friends and anyone who dislikes him sux.
To enjoy this crap you HAVE to like the main guy more than anything else, you have to see his words as biting ( and so totally original) commentary and you have to pretend like he's such a deep and layered character. If you can't do that, you'll just see him for what Chitose truly is, an unlikeable Gary Stu.
It really doesn't help that the first storyline of this involves him having to help out an even MORE annoying shithead. Congrats! Not only do you have to follow one piece of shit, you get TWO sausages that do not have a single interesting or redeeming factor about them. Seriously Kenta is so pathetic.
Perhaps it's the fault of the manga adaptation, perhaps it's because I'm not the target audience, but the more I read the more it felt like I was trying to pull my own teeth out with a spoon.
