Why this sort of anime gets way too high scores (especially being a 3D one)? every freaking season now has this overrated as heck show, it's your typical mediocre drama/romance anime but instead of humans, furries take over, the same tropes that turns most drama animes into a drag are here having a few exceptions here and there like legosi or legoshi and the panda ''teacher'' and that's it, there is a few interesting world building ideas like the whole carnivore x herbivore ''clash'' the other being since each character is an animal, each has advantages and disavantages both socially and in brawls, but unfortunately
...
these are often tossed aside in favor of terrible side characters which some are real dickheads for no real reason, petty dramas and love triangles/squares that by now thousands of anime of the same genre do better like Toradora or Ano hana.
The few moments the anime shakes things up is the few far between fights being more precise the one that breaks out on the theater and a larger one during the rescue arc that add some degree of tension and the differences between each race becomes more prominent, there is also the assassination that happens early on that adds a slight degree of mistery and helps explains better why certain things happen on the universe, but unfortunately it is tossed aside for you must imagine by now why it is, likely to be adressed on the confirmed second season (which i'am not certain if i should waste time or not watching)
With the few fight scenes that it had, world building ideas and very specific characters aside, what else the anime has? the 3D is usually a insta drop factor but the anime actually has a farily decent one, especially the characters visuals, however the enviroments don't have the same charm, there is no real memorable location
At last the soundtrack is one of the few traits the series has that can be enjoyed, especially the opening song (ALI - Wild side, the same group that gave us the amazing jujutsu kaisen ending) it does a fairly good job to keep you entertained
One thing i feel i should comment (also a point of criticism) is how the series has perhaps one of worst possible romantic interest for a main character it could have, so legosi/legoshi does a pretty good job as a main protagonist, he possess pros and cons and doesn't solve things flawlessly, along with family issues, the drama of being a grey wolf and how he has to deal with a usually intimidating enviroment, let's say he has traits of a shounen protagonist but at the same time not since he doesn't turn everyone into his friend, problem is legosi/legoshi has to go through great lenghts and conflicts just to save (spoiler).... a girlfriend with a past of being essentially a whore
So haru is this dwarf rabbit that literally does justice to the ''carousel of dicks'' meme essentially that type of woman who has done indecent things with god knows how many furries in the past and now says she is all yours (sort of), the series tries to soften that or justify by saying she did because she didn't want to feel pity from others, but rather being seen as haru and not just another dwarf rabbit (could be said it was so she could survive in a way), it's honestly quite stupid making it look like some of those twisted doujins, the point is that Legosi goes through quite a lot for the worst possible girlfriend that even lies to him initially regarding her current relationship

This is the sequel an terrible animated first season of ikki tousen, which i skipped because oh god, i really tried but it lacked so much it was boring and muddy, however the sequel fairs better in tems of animations, characters and a bit more on plot, while none of these 3 are exceptional, they have no doubt improved it might be enough to keep you going.
A lot of people watched you know for boobs and asses appearing left and right a few maybe because of the manga, if you're not into ecchi you might want give up, but if you have no problem or
...
even like it it could be a good call and make you keep going.
The plot is a bit weak, it lacks a lot of tension, atmosphere and a strong script, there is a few good scenes, but nothing exceptional, it revolves around warriors of previous centuries now reincarnated into the body of sexy as fuck women and a few guys that really aren't interesting, especially saji and i never will know if ryofu is or not his girlfriend, i wanted these 2 to just die for the love of god, which in reality my wish *spoiler* was actually granted later in the future seasons, because these 2 are a joke of stupid and nonsensical
The characters is might what keeps you watching, i personally love kanu and shiryu, tell the truth didn't initially liked kanu because she was kind of exagerated in terms of power, but i liked her in the end, in fact she is one of my favorite female characters in anime, there are unfortunately stereotype we have seen countless times, but some of these might actually make you want to watch more.
The soundtrack is a bit lacking, however the opening and the ending marked me to this date and are interesting even if a bit idk old.
If you like ecchi especially mixed with fights you will likely enjoy this, especially because of the improvement compared to the first season which was awful and had an vague story, so much i recommend skipping, it's not an ultra complex stor that you will not understand by doing this, on the contrary a quick sum up will help you in that case.

What an joy that this series finally got an new season, for me who readed the manga this was a bless, it's almost unbelievable after so many years katsura hoshino managed to bring back such an awesome story, it's almost unfair such an amazing mangaka with fantastic drawing skills, one of if not the best character design in an shounen and mangas, and deep story goes unnoticed by a lot of people, it only really lacks a bit in fights, but since everything else is great you don't care, plain example how people should care more about stories rather than fights, fights and fights everytime
...
and have the risk of going downhill like naruto did.
It was also shameful this wasn't on many top 10 animes from 2016 lists, this series is seriously underrated, it's also sad that it is taking so long for chapters to come out again for the manga.
That aside, like i said earlier, the story and characters is the biggest driving force on d-gray man hallow, and a bit of atmosphere, it is filled with great main characters and villains, so much my favorite villains in anime/manga earl of the millenium is back even more twisted and if you readed the manga you know the kind of sad backstory behind it and even more noahs were revealed, giving space to Sheril and Nea who is starting to show up.
The season sort of skips/ignore a few things on the manga, but nothing to drastic, mainly the sort of filler arc it had before this, it tries to be quick and precise avoiding any sort of unnecessary moments which works for the most part, so much it only has 12 episodes since there isn't enough content on the manga to go beyond the point this season ended.
D-gray man has what many shounens lack sometimes which is depth and true character motivations, not some excuse to motivation, i always wanted to see more female characters like lenalee who may not be so freaking strong but at least has presence and you always remember her, her character puts sakura for example to shame, unfortunately she doesn't have much space in this season, same applies to lavi which is almost forgotten here, but to compensate that Kanda and Allen which often battle as the most popular character in the series are the star here and their chemistry work well and you feel the pain and everything that is happening here
I think the few weak spots is the animation and the soundtrack, the opening and ending credits may grow in you after some time, but not so much as the soundtrack that plays during the anime itself, the animation is visible different from the previous series, this one is more light and more colorful in contrast of the previous Gothic and more dark style of animation which worked well, the new one is also made in a way to reflect the change in drawings after the time skip in the manga, which makes sense, could be better but still acceptable, nothing to cause anger.
If you're a fan of the series like me who got really sad because of the hiatus due to all the health problems katsura hoshino went through, especially if you care about the author like me, you will like this season really quick, especially for the story, the character designs and characters themselves who are in perhaps even tougher situations, although some of them have almost no space on this season, for rather understandable reasons
If you never heard of d-gray man, you should give a try, it's a heck of great series that is strangely underrated, it does more success in europe for some reason, maybe the setting? the manga itself is fantastic, it shows how katsura has one of the best drawings in an manga of action ever, the girl deserve all the praise, also if you plan to watch the previous series, make sure to find a list of all the fillers to avoid you know boredom and go straight to where it matters.

Naruto is easily in first place in my top 10 worst/i hate animes of all times, i have never seen a anime this overrated before, the only other being gurren lagann, this series started more than an decade and there are still those fools who think it's an epic story, and unfortunately raised what is now one of the worst fanbases of all animes alongside one piece and dragon ball, it didn't make part of my childhood lucky for me because for a lot of people it did, and unfortunately i don't even like talking about anime with those it did because i
...
can see they don't much about anime to begin with
There are many reasons why this is the anime series i hate the most, this is an list of someone who tried more than once to like this godforsaken story, but unfortunately in the end it served of nothing, the only redeemable valor is the soundtrack and a few fights, and that's it, and that cannot hold an series.
That aside let's start this rather long list
1.Main characters, the characters in naruto are the very definition of cliche, especially Sasuke, the guy is screams cliche every time a word come out of his mouth, characters in naruto are really badly developed, aside naruto and and maybe shikamaru, gaara, hinata and itachi, all others are mostly throw in the thrash can without a decent development or even a decent fight, also, my god sakura and ino motivation, is that what they want? date an prick who treats everyone like shit and think is dark and badass?'''oh i want to kill my brother'' that's arguably one of the worst motivations in an anime, and people say Sakura and Ino are good characters, not even in hell they are, they were always terrible, no wonder as the series went on hinata started to become more and more popular, because the girl always had an objective despite liking naruto, these two became so notorious even the most die hard fans of naruto often hate especially sakura who is useless, people are tired of this princess stereotype of female characters that can't do jack shit and that's why often you see people who prefer the villains over the main characters(this includes myself).
2.Villains, the villains on the counterpart, are actually more interesting than the main characters, especially Zabuza, Haku, Orochimaru, Kimimaro, Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu and hidan(the best duo)etc however they are just like a lot of the main characters thrown in the thrash, they have great potential but are poorly used and are defeated by some of the most outrageous plot armor in an anime ever, especially Kimimaro, which had big potential, this same feat will repeat in shippuden with characters like, sasori, deidara, kakuzu and hidan(my two favorites), the entire akatsuki, they could have been the main characters not the villains easily since they are leagues more interesting than the main characters, hell imagine how cool would it be if konan was the main ''heroine'' instead of generic and boring character that sakura is?
3. World/Lore, the world in naruto was never well explored or well used, there are other villages but in the end is all about konoha, clichemoto tries to make the series have an deeper world and lore and etc, but he fails every time because he doesn't know what to do with it, the characters only mention other places and villages, but its never shown, and to tell the truth the other villages from what is commented are a lot more interesting, but mostly pointless, the only interesting thing on its lore is the bijuu like kurama/kyuubi and shukaku and a few others that appear on shippuden, and that's it, it doesn't explore beyond that, and even that he finds and way to screw it up by making bijuus except kyuubi useless for the most part except awaking the 10 tails.
4.Bad logics and plot armor, ever since naruto started, it was clear clichemoto doesn't know how to make character power levels, because it makes no fucking sense, and kid who trained idk for like only months be able to beat and war veteran and born to battle enemies who knows a lot more about fighting and still loses, this is ridiculous, this is an example of bad logic and use of plot armor, and this happens from starts to finish and it manages to become worse in naruto shippuden where the restrictions are thrown in the garbage and everyone starts to become chakra gods.
5.The animation, well the naruto animation always had an bad legacy, it has a lot of flaws and just plain errors that can be noticed if you pause while watching, some even say not to pause naruto while watching if you want to avoid it, the worst part, is because there are other animes from pierrot like bleach, and bleach has nowhere near the same problem naruto had, which makes you question why the fuck it's animations are bad for the most part and feel cheap, there are other animes from that same decade that don't look as cheap as naruto, and don't think the manga is way better because clichemoto is not that good in drawing, occasionally rising above average but not that much
6.Soundtrack, the soundtrack in the series is perhaps one of the few solid points of it, it has soundtracks that unfortunately marked an generation, but aren't necessarily good nor bad, it only served more to please the naruto fanboys so they can keep living in their forever nostalgia, sure there good soundtracks, but i would say there are better ones out there, hell bleach has an even better soundtrack, shiro sagisou did an better job in bleach compared to naruto soundtrack, also the openings, well the only one i consider good is the last opening, which is not an j-rock opening we have seen a million times, it also demonstrates martial arts better than the anime, and unfortunately almost all of the other openings are j-rocks that are nostalgia driven, and aren't really that good, also fuck you asian kung fu generation for making one of the most overrated openings in the planet that relies on nostalgia, also known as haruka kanata
7. Fillers, naruto is already notorious along with bleach and even one piece for it's fillers, it's one of the reasons a lot of people(like me) hate the series, the fillers really made the quantity of episodes bigger than it should, naruto shippuden ended with 500 episodes thanks to it's god forsaken fillers, and classic naruto is no different, the series were stretched out thanks to them, and that's not a good thing, plainly made for greedy reasons to keep the money flowing and also give time for clichemoto to create more cliche chapters.
8. Story, the story in naruto can be noticed to be very scripted and filled with some of the most boring cliches ever, this is why when the fourth ninja war happened and it went downhill and consequently screwed naruto reputation(for me a good thing, finally people woke the fuck up that it has never been this amazing story to begin with), because the story revolves on the same classic idea of good x evil, sometimes trying to blur the lines of good and evil along with a bit of philosophy, but it doesn't hold up it's cliches nor it saves, it just makes you crave when something new happens, only to be filled with cliches again and again as if they were new and ''good'', and people use naruto story as an compare meter to other animes, which is pathetic, this story has never been that good to begin with, starts slow and weak, gains a bit of strength, goes downhill, it's not like bleach and one piece, were bleach starts really strong, one of the best shounens starts ever and then loses a bit of steam but manages to get back, or one piece where it starts really weak but then BOOM especially in the alabasta and marine ford arc, also this is another problem, there is no marine ford arc level on naruto, which just shows how clichemoto doesn't know what to do sometimes
This is perhaps naruto biggest flaw, some of you will agree others might just some insane logic to try justify it, but it's still an flaw, and it never got better in the series, especially in the fillers, and it's one of the reasons i hate naruto because it shits on this pre-idealized idea for some generic designs and the final and biggest flaw is..
9.The characters don't fucking LOOK LIKE NINJAS TO BEGIN WITH, This is pretty much an flaw of naruto that breaks immersion and makes you see the characters as anything else like monks, mages etc anything but ninjas, clichemoto character designs for the most part sucks, and it shits on the idea of ninjas, you know stealth oriented warriors that are completely in black, and are deadly and kill without hesitation, which is something 90% of the characters lack, the only two characters in this entire fucking series that look like an ninja and act like an ninja or close to it, is Kakuzu and Haku, BOTH WERE SO BADLY USED AND DEFEATED BY PLOT ARMOR THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS, WHY THE ONLY FUCKING 2 CHARACTERS THAT LOOK LIKE NINJA IN THE SERIES, WERE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE, WHILE CHARACTERS LIKE NARUTO HIMSELF,KIBA, INO, SAKURA, SASUKE, CHOUJI, TENTEN, ROCK LEE, KANKURU, TEMARI,KONOHAMARU AND HIS FRIENDS, SHIKAMARU, GAARA ETC DON'T LOOK LIKE NINJAS ARE STILL IN THE SERIES, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO STUPID THEORY OR JACK SHIT WILL JUSTIFY THIS, NARUTO IS THE WORST THING TO HAVE EVER HAPPEN TO CONCEPT OF NINJAS AND IT ALSO MANAGED TO DETURPATE IT, WHY THE FUCK PEOPLE TURN AN BLIND EYE TO IT? ''oh but is clichemoto interpretation of ninjas'' NO ONE ASKED FOR HIS INTERPRETATION OF NINJAS, THE GUY NEVER HAD AN CLUE OF WHAT AN NINJA LOOKS LIKE FROM IT'S HINTED ON HIS CHARACTERS DESIGNS AND HE SUCKS, IF YOU COMPARE TO D-GRAY MAN CHARACTER DESIGNS, NARUTO IS ANEMIC ON THAT ASPECT.
And perhaps this is it, all the reasons why this series sucks and is overrated, it's an series that has finally fucking finished,(at least until boruto shows up ZzZzZz) being stretched up to 500 episodes thanks to its fillers, and perhaps something better will come to take it's place, from which i deeply hope, this series is an testament of how people let their nostalgia a lot of time speak bigger and ignore flaws, flaws from which made naruto lose a lot of popularity especially in the future fourth ninja war, like i said i tried more than once to like it, but i's like banging my head against the wall for something not worthwhile, i hope clichemoto(yes i call him this way after my friend called him that) at least learn something from all of his mistakes, and please god stay away from any other ethnic group and don't try to deturpate it, this review is huge but i wanted to stay clear all the reasons, not just some empty hater who just hates it because it's popular, no i hate it because it was never that great to begin with, only have popularity, thank you and have a nice day watching better animes.

Kuzu no honkai is a mess, it's like an second season of school days only with different if not worse characters, stupid logics, bad story and nonsensical character motivation, this series is cringe, and a shit show made for those who love NTR bullshit the worst fetiche of all time, anyone who says this series is good is lying to you, say what you want about sword art online or attack on titan that those 2 are overrated, but kuzu no honkai is the true definition of overrated, lazy, boring and uncomfortable to watch, let me sum up all the problems in a list
-Completely stupid
...
character motivations and desires, what is Hana desire? stay with her teacher(pathetic), Mugi desire? have sex with an nymphomaniac teacher(this is as bad as Sakura motivation), Akane desire? have sex with countless man(this is the worse character motivation i have ever seen, don't let her ''beauty'' fool you) what is the other teacher desire? marry an nymphomaniac slut who sleep even with her students and have a slight chance of being with an DST(why was this character created?) this is the characters in a nutshell, it's stupid, none of them have interesting background or decent motivation, they suck, there is no depth to them, they are just scum without a reason, they are irrational.
-The story is character driven, however since the characters suck, you basically will lose interest very quick, everyone seems to only think about sex and that's it, it shows how betrayals go and how characters are supposed to become better, but when they start to show cracks of that, it's already late, they will likely be in your next top 10 worst characters in anime.
-While the art and sound design is solid, it doesn't hold the series, no doubt both are better compared to school days, but they don't save it, this is plain example how animation and sound aren't everything.
-The biggest flaw is how this is overrated as fuck by some stupid viewers, you mean there are authors who literally work years on their stories, make amazing character development and stories, and this mess is considered good? you're serious?
That's kuzu no honkai, an mess with an solid animation and sound design, this anime/manga picked my interest because of the manga art on the cape especially, but after seeing a bit of, i dropped with an disappointing feeling and big one, and just lame the waste of time this was, don't let people fool you if they say this is good bla bla bla because it's not, it's melancholic wanna be with cringe characters as if they were made of plastic.
