commented on Rascal's review of To Your Eternity
I honestly want to say that I enjoyed the anime, but I can't. There are clearly problems with how the characters were handled, plus the story's identity and direction. I'd even go far to say that this anime contributed to me experiencing burnout.
To Your Eternity

Isn't living the reason for life itself? Before I begin, let me preface this by saying that if you haven't seen this anime yet, at least its first episode, then don't read this review. In fact, don't read any review. Just take this first paragraph as a heartfelt reccomendation, to pick this...

She is definitely one of the best characters from the series. That confidence is what makes her so awesome.

I know that To Your Eternity isn't an anime for everybody, but I see myself as a fantasy nerd. I'm also use to the anime being episodic(sometimes) and sad. It reminds me of Casshern Sins in a lot of ways. Except that Casshern Sins can feel way more depressing as a whole. At least you gave it a try, cause there are some people who won't even do that.
To Your Eternity

I really don't get the fan rave about this anime.  There is no story.  Basically 2 to 3 episodes are mini-stories loosely throwing in the main character.  It is so slow developing the main character.  They are dark stories no happiness to them.  There is some character...

commented on nathandouglasdavis's review of Nine Dragons’ Ball Parade
I can understand why someone might consider the art generic looking. But you also have to realize that the author has to release the chapters on a weekly basis. The artist doesn't have a ton of time to create diverse faces. So maybe its something the artist can work on with their next series.
Nine Dragons’ Ball Parade

This is a manga about Tamao Azukida using feir researching knowledge to recruit niche or unorthodox players to join their baseball team and become the Nine Dragons. Many of the obviously strong players have already been recruited to various schools, so Azukida says that they'll focus on...

No, I do get what you're saying. I wasn't trying to sound angry or anything like that. Its just that when someone I've know for awhile unfollows me, I want to know the reason, usually for peace of mind. I love it when someone is straight-foward with me. But its also reminded me that when I'm caught up in my job or doing other stuff, I want to maintain the relationships I have on Anime Planet. Cause I do care about some of the people on here. So yes, I do want us to stay friends. But I also want to stay connected, so don't be surprised if I drop a message every now and then.

@OkamiHime95 So it looks like I was forgotten, that's kind of depressing actually. Though I guess it makes sense. If you're following someone on anime planet and they don't talk to you, then what's the point.

I don't understand how anyone could like this character. She is practically a plot device.

You were pretty on point with your reasoning. What bothers me is how I didn't notice these issues, but better late than never.
A Silent Voice

This manga did not live up to the one shot. Just read the one shot and be done with it. Granted, it's hard to live up to perfection, but still. Actually it fell way short. Koe no Katachi squandered such incredible potential that I can't help but get mad at it far more than any...

I never felt like I was invested in the characters, even if they did have quirks. Oh well.

We sorta get a revamping of the series starting with chapter 9. New characters, new relationship within the police force. It frames everything before then as being a prologue, and it's quite possible that those early cases were simply intended as introductions to the main premise and the...

I don't know what I can say to a person like you. Something tells me that you are a troll of the highest degree. And to that there is nothing I can say, other than that you get some life guidance. To you I give you a block, to make sure you're never a nuisance to me again.

He's fun and I like my delinquent type characters. You can't say he doesn't take volleyball seriously cause he does, though he tends to go berserk. Always expect something fun with this character.

Pretty much on point. Can't wait for the anime adaption.
Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku

TL;DR - Really great read for those who love a good action/survival story. The premise itself is a variation on a story you've all heard before - surviving on an island. But instead of being randomly kidnapped and dumped on the island, we actually have a bunch of criminals and their...

commented on Rbastid's review of Yugo the Negotiator
I think the problems found in Yugo are also ones you can find in Shinji Makari's newest work, Issak. Although from what I can tell, the author did get better at researching material for his manga. But the characters are still the weakest part to his writing. And I should have known since Seiji Kishi directed the Yugo anime, and that guy has a lot of misses regarding anime he's involved in. The Yugo anime definitely felt like it had potential, and I enjoyed hearing Jason Douglas voice Yugo. But I'm probably not going to rewatch it again. There's a reason why people forgot about this anime.
Yugo the Negotiator

Yugo the Negotiator seemed like a decent series due to its unique story, but it really just became apologist hogwash and a waste of time. Story - 2/10 So Yugo is, you guessed it, a negotiator.   He tries to free hostages around the world, yet in the series we see him free only...

Since I thought about it, the author probably didn't do a good job doing research for stuff relating to the Yugo manga/anime. And I wanted to like the story, even if it wasn't perfect. There was some really cool ideas, but it all sort of falls flat if you don't develop the protagonist and how he made it to where he is. Feels like the sort of series people would read/watch cause its cool, but being cool can only take a series so far I guess.

Doing good actually. Thanks for asking @joebev910. I've been watching the Ben 10 (2005) series, out of nostalgia and cause I need a good superhero show.

I think the author has potential. But I wish the author would spend more time exploring themes in Boys Abyss before quckly moving the story along. That and trying way too hard to make me feel bad for characters I can't feel attached to.
