Dragon Ball Super? More like...Dragon Ball Super amazing that this anime got away with such a shit script and mostly bad animation, while dumb nostalgia blinded fanboys still pretended like this was one of shounen's greatest shows.
This series has no red thread. No theming. Characters don't really learn anything. Son Goku, the main character, stays the same guy he stayed in DBZ. Same goes with every other hero of this show. The characters reset every arc so what the hell was the point of this?
I'm gonna tell you. Merchandising. Lots and lots of Merchandising. There is a reason every arc in Super introduced at least
...
2 new transformations for the heroes and villains. Like with every anime, this show wasn't made because the studio wanted to create new interesting stories and worlds. It was made to sell toys and books. That isn't a direct problem in itself but Super makes it blatantly obvious that it isn't interested at all to do anything else.
The first few arcs are some of the slowest and worst I've seen in any anime. There is so much fucking filler, it hurts and no one ever really gets developed. Who cared about the Pilaf gang? What was the point of bringing Trunks back if he disappeared into the basically same fucking world as he did in DBZ? I can tell you. A few people cared, but not enough to give them some shitty fucking filler episodes. Super has no good story thread. This means that our characters jump from arc to arc with no connecting tissue.
The Tournament of Power makes up almost one third of the anime and introduces so many bad and unnecessary character, I couldn't count them even if I tried. Everyone is bland and/or annoying. Was I supposed to root for the destruction of every universe? Seemed like it. Jiren is one of the worst villains in anime because of his blandness and ridiculously generic background story. Caulifla is the biggest Mary Sue ever conceived, since the creation of Sakura Haruno from Naruto and let's not talk any further about the other poorly written characters.
Animation is so fucking bad the first three arcs, I was surprised Toei didn't cancel the fucking show because fans dropped this fucking thing. It certaintly gets better later on but side characters interrupt the well drawn action sequences so much that the pacing gets destroyed in an instant.
The series did it's job. It created new transformations to sell toys, videogames and books to, yes, dumb Youtube/Twitter reactionists, that hype every transformation up, like it's the second coming of christ. DBS didn't try to break new ground. It didn't want to tell an interesting story or create an amazing new world. The job to create a new amazing Dragon Ball series was done pretty poorly but this mess hyped up everyone. Flavor of the week show would describe this anime the best.
Great. That's what everyone wanted, right?
2/10

Citrus challenges today's anime standards by introducing interesting topics like "How cringy can character dialogue become in an anime until I drop it?" and "Is it sexual assault if I kiss my step sister without consent...and get away with it?"
This is by far the worst anime I've seen this year and I'm just 4 episodes in. Dialogue doesn't feel natural at all, exposition is thrown in my face every second and characters don't make any sense.
The pacing of Citrus is way too fast and we never get any real sense of knowing how to feel about a moment. There is a scene where Mei kisses
...
her sister in the first epiosde without her consent and it feels super uncomfortable but next episode, the main character pretends like this thing was super romantic, not literally, but this is what it feels like.
Animation is also something we should talk about. It commendable that the director actually changes the clothes of the main character multiple times, which isn't done as often as you might think, but the actual animation is piss poor and the art still suffers from time to time. It's also sad that nothing about this animation seems to have any personality.
Now on to the topic of Gay bait. Is this show some gay bait for people that browse through tumblr and twitter 24/7? Yes. Yes it is. Instead of developing a genuine, natural romance between two highschool students that happen to be girls, we get some of the most rapey, uncomfortable Yuri scenes I had the displeasure to watch. It is amazing how people are willing to justify abusive and toxic romance as long as it's gay.
If you want to watch a shitty gay Telenovela in anime form, then boy, is Citrus the anime for you.

I just read Naruto Gaiden again and I want to say that this 10 Chapter manga is the worst story Kishimoto has put out yet. Yes. Worse than early Part 2 Naruto and Final Arc Naruto. Kishi had all the time in the world to make a great story like with The Last and the Boruto movie but for some reason he decided to take inspiration from Keeping up with the Kardashians for Naruto Gaiden.
Sarada is a Mary Sue. She gets all the power ups in the world without proper training and Chouchou just reminds me of Jar Jar Bings. The "comedy" in this is
...
just the worst. None of the new characters most of us were interested in, like Mirai, Metal Lee or even Himawari got some lines to make this story better.
Naruto and Sasuke also have been nerved for this arc to make Sakura look good AGAIN. Onion Boy is probably the most forgettable villain since Gateau and the whole "who's your mommy" conflict could have been resolved in one chapter without this stupid melodrama.
It's also amazing how many plotholes have been condensed into this one story like why would Sarada claim that her father left her when she was a baby but then remember a time that she held hand with her parents when she was a little kid. Why does she know how to use her mother's punching skills when it took Sakura one year to master them. Why would Sasuke write a letter to Naruto but never bother to write a letter to his family? Why did Sasuke take on this mission to look for a villain for the Boruto movie and never bother to visit his own family? He didn't have a problem to eat some dinner with them at the end of the manga. While we're at it. Sasuke's mission that he got when Naruto was already the hokage became entirely pointless because the villain of the Boruto movie still attacked Konoha and kidnapped Naruto. Why couldn't Onion boy see Sakura even though he had Sharingan eyes all over his body? I could go on and on.
Sakura became even more unlikeable than she already was in this story. Yes she took care of Sarada and put on a few moe faces here and there(she even stole Hinata's Ch.700 design lol) but why the fuck did she paste her own image over a friend like Karin that helped giving birth to Sarada? What kind of asshole friend would do something like this? Why didn't Sakura just answer to Sarada instead of destroying her own house and bringing her daughter to tears?
Taka, Yamato and Orochimaru were entirely pointless to the plot and I wonder why Kishi even bothered to write them into the story.
Naruto Gaiden is bad. Almost nothing works in this 10 chapter abomination. While Sarada is likeable at times, she still is a complete Mary Sue and her story crumbles apart near the end and the action bits are some of the worst in all of Naruto. The Uchiha cancer also took over the story again even though 90% of the Naruto fandom was already sick and tired of it.
What bothers me the most about Naruto Gaiden is that this whole manga feels insincere, like Kishi didn't want to put any effort into the plot. He always had a few hickups throughout the story of the Naruto manga but this could have been justified because he was always pressured to produce a new chapter every week for multiple years. Naruto Gaiden had months to get a half decent story but it still turned into shit.

Probably the most overhyped/overrated anime since Sword Art Online.
Not only are the characters pretty flat, not only is the story really really bad, not only does the animation of this series become so bad that Studio Deen would have to start blushing, not only is the world building some of the worst in any anime but people also have the nerv to call this anime a good represantion of a gay relationship.
Is this what straight women think what gay men would behave like if they'd be in love?
The relationship of Yuri and Victor is some of the battiest Yaoi shit I've seen in any anime.
...
They don't kiss - They just hug in a way to make it look like they're kissing. They don't get in a relationship between lovers - They are just master & student who really like each other. They don't get engaged - They just buy lucky charms for each other, that look like engagement rings.
And don't come to me claiming that the kiss had to be cencored for the japanese audience. There were plenty of anime where gay characters had kissed each other in a clear way (Sakura Trick, No.6) so please just cut the bullshit.
Every character is flat and cringy and every potential that they might have had is wasted, because every episode had to have at least 3 ice skating scenes instead of actual character building through some relationships. The cringiest and worst character is Christophe and his presence probably describes the best why Yuri on Ice has such garbage writing. Yuri, the main character, is every sports protagonist of every shitty sports anime. He's such a blank slate that new story tools like a second dog dying have to be created to give him some new reactions. Victor is the stereotypical gay character. Every line he says has to be ambivalent and no real strong motivation is given as to how and why he quit his career.
Now on to the story. Most of it is spend in the ice rink and instead of giving the viewer some eye candy through some cool shots of Russia or Japan we mainly get some of the worst sakuga animation you will see in any anime. 90% of the characters could be cut out completely and nothing would change. Motivations are explained through inner dialogue in the ice skating scenes which just is lazy. There is no subtlety to anything in this piece of garbage story. One thing I can give credit to this anime though is, that the humor most of the times works and the first 2 episodes were pretty okay.
Animation like I've said is pretty bad. The first episode had some really beautiful scenes but then the director decided to use this exact animation again...and again...and again...and again but only worse.
We never get an explanation as to how who is better than who. The only visual indication we ever got as to how someone was doing good or bad during their skating scenes is when they tripped. A talented director would have cut out some of the skating scenes to save some of the budget for a few important story scenes.
Yuri on Ice fails in every way. It fails as a sports anime. It fails as a love story. It's fails a character study.
The only enjoyment I got from this anime was how this whole mess of a story crumbled apart near the end.
