WAIT! Hold on, lemme explain.
Yes, this is essentially hentai.
Yes, your family will disown you if they catch you watching this.
Yes, this show is kinda degen.
HOWEVER, I have to give this show props just for "going there". You have to admire the show's willingness to get knee-deep in the filth.

Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season
(Anime)
add
What the fuck is pacing? What is non-repetitive dialogue? If I had to take a shot every time someone said "We'll save her...for sure this time", I'd have died of alcohol poisoning. This show is a far cry from what it once was. The writing formula is so offhanded. It's an endless cycle of flashbacks and needless backstory surrounding 30 seconds of actual action. It's getting old.
I'll give you an example. Hazukashi. Don't know who that is? Good, you shouldn't because he had literally 37 seconds of screentime. Writers had the audacity to give him flashbacks and backstory, just to instantly get foiled by Hawks. ...

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
(Anime)
add
[Spoilers] Let me be clear, this show is not very good. But, the theme is really solid and the art is unbelievable. The characters are brutally bad until near the end. But, the worst thing about Grimgar is its GOD-AWFUL pacing and shallow plot. The show feels like it was setting up for more seasons that never happened, so I'll give it a pass on the shallow plot, but the pacing was still awful enough for me to give the story aspect a 2. Manato dies and they spend like half the season being sad about it and constantly flashing back and going to his

Tokyo Ghoul:re
(Anime)
add
Anyone who enjoyed this is not only wrong, but also stupid. If you combined the lack of direction from the rest of the series and then added constant deus ex machinas and unexplained plot points, you would have Tokyo Ghoul:re. I wanted to know how Kaneki got to becoming Sasaki in the first place. They never explained that because they tried to bury it, and every other plot hole, under endless conflict, which is sloppy. There were a few episodes that almost had a direction in mind. When Tsukiyama was trying to jog Kaneki's memory and when Kaneki and Touka were getting reacquainted. Mutsuki's character

Tokyo Ghoul √A
(Anime)
add
(Spoilers) This felt like it was written by edgy teenagers on tumblr. I've been told the manga is better and that this is overall a poor adaptation. I'll take their word for it. I never cared for Amon, or any of the CCG people. They were bland characters with super cliche dialogue and they had virtually no personality. The show as a whole felt like it lacked direction. Tsukiyama was the best character, he was the most palatable character in an endless sea of edginess. Oh, and Touka decided to run a marathon. Great storytelling. We only found out about the black dog and the

Death Note
(Anime)
add
[Spoilers] I'll get lampooned for giving this show a low rating, but it needs to be said. To be frank, I went into this with no bias and truly wanted to enjoy this show. I did...until L died. The show was progressing well with little to no filler. In fact, throughout the series, the pacing was well-executed.
The concept itself is uniquely brilliant since the show raises questions of ethics regarding killing for the greater good, which is always an interesting topic. It's a psychological thriller that operates as a whodunnit where viewers already know the culprit. The suspense of the show is palpable. The show ...

Steins;Gate
(Anime)
add
[Spoilers] This is one of those all-timers that I'll enjoy no matter how many times I've watched it. The actual plot is fairly simple, but the detail is unbelievably thorough. The show raises questions regarding quantum physics, human psychology, and mind philosophy, questions I never thought a show could make viewers answer. How many times would you watch a loved one die in futile efforts to save them? The difficult task of balancing this kind of heavy material with quirky comedy is executed nearly flawlessly, as most characters (especially Itaru) have their funny moments. Steins;Gate will make you laugh, cry, and leave you in awe.
