Shuiro no Kamen
(Manga)
add
It's a battle shonen style story about making masks in old London... If that sounds weird and boring to you then you would be correct. The pacing is horrendous with constant jumping between over-the-top battles and random people talking about masks. The battles have no buildup whatsoever. The characters have no introductions. What I've deciphered from the story is that the bad guys want to collect masks, and the good guys also want to collect masks. I'm sure in later volumes the story will evolve but this is a painful way to start. If they wanted a good template for battle shonen they should have

Disappointing in every way possible. Outside of the first episode this is the same generic idol show you've seen a hundred times before. You can tell the creators were scared to death to actually follow through with the edgy humor. It is such a waste to try and copy VTuber popularity and yet make it as shallow and forgettable as possible. It's obvious they just wanted a show where they could throw "VTuber" into the title for clicks, but didn't have any plan for the overall show. Again, this could have been absolutely hilarious but instead we got this generic thing that no one will

Macross Zero
(Anime)
add
Horribly dated CGI and photoshop animation ruins what could have been a good show. This is like the worst nightmare for 2000's CGI. Yes, the dogfights are cool, but that's only because so much stuff is happening on screen you can't focus on the terrible CGI. It constantly flips between blurry character models, super low quality models (they almost look like sprites from a 2D game), and 3D that looks worse than the original Initial D. If the original Macross movies are 10/10 then this is 0/10. Without question, this is the worst entry in the entire Macross franchise. It's quite sad that so many

For such cool looking cover art the anime itself is quite ordinary. MC is looking for revenge and helps some people along the way. Not much more to it than that. It's a little scifi but mostly it's just Conan the Barbarian. It does have some nice violence, but there's nothing over-the-top like some other OVAs out there. The animation quality is kind of a question mark. The issue is that it only exists on Laser Disc or a HORRIBLE quality DVD, so I'm left wondering what this would look like given a proper remaster. It's definitely worth watching, but also disappointing in that it

It's a few photos of paintings flashing on the screen while horrific static plays in the background. Anyone with 5 seconds of spare time could make this nonsense. There is nothing of value here whatsoever. The "animation" is literally just zooming in and out while spinning the camera to make sure you throw up. If something this low effort is allowed on the site then why isn't every random Youtube animation also allowed here? Definitely feels like a scam or maybe a prank. Thankfully it seems not too many people have wasted their time on this. That's about the only good thing I can say

Umi no Uta

30 minutes of vomit inducing flashing images combined with horrible animal screeching. How something like this got labeled as anime is beyond me. Nothing appears to be drawn or animated in this. It's quite literally just random photos with a silly photocopy effect applied to it. It's obvious whoever made this video was very angry and wanted to punish people who watched it. Maybe they were upset because their film teacher gave them a bad grade? I don't know. I only hope they remove this video from the database so innocent people don't try and watch it. Definitely the worst thing ever made.

No complaints here. This is classic 90's OVA with tons of violence, blood, and action. I won't call it "ultra violent" because there's certainly darker stuff out there, but the fountains of blood and dismemberment will definitely scratch that itch. Animation quality is surprisingly good when it comes to sword fights, and you can tell that's where most of the budget went. It would be amazing to see this on a proper Bluray remaster. The Laser Disc I watched this on was good quality, but you can tell there's a ton more detail that's possible. If you're a fan of violent 90's anime then this

Juusenki L-Gaim
(Anime)
add
Wacky and ridiculous. Really wanted to like this one since I'm a huge fan of the original Gundam and Macross TV series, but this was just painful to get through. It's impossible to take anything in this seriously when everyone is acting like a lunatic. Ridiculous slapping, punching, and kicking in every scene, it's as if they were trying to make Ranma 1/2 in the Gundam universe. The only likeable character is the fairy, but I'm afraid that's not enough to save the show. The story is painfully slow to get going. The first half seemingly has no direction at all. We simply follow around

This series has significant problems. The pacing is horrific, and the characters are completely unlikable. The beginning is a boring mix of trivial school drama and MMA wiki dumps. Nothing of significance happens until around volume 5 and by then the series is basically over with. What's fascinating about this series is that EVERY character is unlikable and the MC is essentially the villain. Typically with sports manga you have some underdog type character which the reader can relate to, but here we have nothing. I would actually describe this series as the opposite of Hajime no Ippo which has great pacing and great characters.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story

add
This might honestly be one of the worst sports anime I've ever seen. The characters are absolutely insufferable. Who are we supposed to be rooting for here when the MC is a shallow nasty person. She has golf super powers from the first episode so no buildup whatsoever. What is the even the plot? She wants to prove her golf swing is better than other random golfers? The whole thing is so ridiculous I don't know how anyone could take it seriously. If you want a really good golfing story then watch Rising Impact. If you want a good sports betting anime then watch One
