painfully unfunny

4/13

an interesting idea boringly executed. for a superior 'teenage girls' problems solved' psychedelic anime there's Onyankopon

2/4

if I were a child in the 90s I'd like this anime

6/56

it is interesting how fully formed in terms of concept the first cyborg anime was and how little the tropes have evolved since, given how often they are copied. luckily, the old-timey dub is a satisfying listen because there's not much animation to look at. this anime is full of dialogue jems such as:

Saucer Lips

...........she's now my secretary

I'm a simple hardworking millionaire

but this is an episodic children's show so I don't feel the need to experience every episode

4/24

the mysteries are not presented well. that's all I care about in a mystery solving anime

19/24

I almost made it to the end, but the tropes, damn, they're sucking out my will to live. I wish that was my superpower, actually - immunity to anime cliches

2/12

I really wanted to like it, hoping for a sort of Patlabor meets Psycho-Pass. alas, where those two had interesting characters who meshed as a team and were stand-out sci-fis, this was an all-over-the-place anime lacking charm

4/12

lame and watered down compared to the OVAs

1/12

I remember back at school there were pupils who couldn't help giggling every time the biology teacher said 'sexual reproduction' (in the days before internet porn, yo). this strikes me as having just as sophisticated a level of humour

5/24

I was quite enjoying the edginess until it got all harem-y on me

1/12

they couldn't even be bothered to give everyone consistent in-world outfits. fuck this anime

1/10

was it a nightmare where I was trapped in a totalitarian regime of cuteness? no, it was just the 1st episode of Akiba-chan

1/13

a good looking but very dumb show. keep your clothes on, love

1/12

poor attempt to pull at my heart strings

1/25

a middle of the road sports anime when there are so many awesome sports anime

within 15mins I felt it was not as good as the original

4/193

I really enjoyed the first 3 eps (Astroboy is a great character) but it's very much a 60s anime: with outdated humour and for children

7/12

amusing but not funny enough to sit through the entire series

2/15

I'm not here to kink-shame but this is not the first nisioisin work I've seen where girl attacks male MC with a sharp object -_-. anyway, watching this feels like intruding on someone else's fantasy, which is fine, I don't need to be 'served' by every single anime but even aside from this aspect, Bakemonogatari is pretty while doing nothing 

2/13

Mitchiri Neko is better

6/11

I really liked the drinks trivia but that's about it. a Sobranie cigarette would enhance the mood

2/13

there's too much highschool in my Birdy. dope animation though and Birdy's design is gorgeous

2/24

I thought this is popular because it's good. I was wrong. 

I didn't like the comic relief characters, listening to the ''''British'''' accents is true suffering and putting up with BL tropes without any actual BL is just sad

6/12

series 1: I have a plot and it's a big deal, just you wait till series 2, here's some filler

series 2: bruh, bruh, check me out bruh, ain't I cool bruh

3/12

made with the finesse and software available at the time of Mortal Combat

3/10

it started with fun and energy but soon it became clear that this is the kind of anime where the boys have personalities and the girls have tits

Virdelet said everything I was gonna say but better, so just read his concise review

8/26

oh it starts out so well: genuinely high-stakes suspence, Yuji is struggling with his moral compass and how to adapt to the new reality, all the sci-fi elements work well.

but then: to show he's a 'nice guy', they have him take care of a little girl. wow *eyes roll* what unique character development, only a complete monster wouldn't empathise with a helpless child.

then there's the Pocahontas arc *eye rolling intensifies*.

overall, the series spends too much time on Yuji's penis feelings and I couldn't wait anymore for the aliens' origins to be revealed, which is what drew me in in the 1st place

boring school bullshit at the beginning, skipped to the sex scenes and they were tame. as a lover of oyster diving, I bemoan the dearth of grown-ups in GL. if I were attracted to little girls, anime would have me covered. very covered

2/24

this blew so much kira kira fuwa fuwa in my face, that I felt disoriented. when the dust cleared, there was no substance to this anime. also, no fucking patisserie. I actually find most harems grotesque and vapid

2/48

bullying is played for laughs, which is bizarre in a children's show

I watch children's anime to learn Japanese, but the rudimentary dialogue bores me after a while

9/12

I just can't warm up to light-novel adaptations where everyone takes themselves so seriously. the characters are full of affectations, and I'm not impressed by the non-linear storyline either. yeah, I disliked Baccano and Kara no Kyoukai as well. I'm a one wolf wolfpack and that's how we roll 

dropped twice

6/26

hardsuits with heels. because they're ladies, get it? fuck this anime

4/12

like Kekkai Sensen but less fun and with shit humour

dropped twice

I watch a lot of independent animation and normally have a high tolerance for them and an open-mindedness about them. so this has the distinction of being unwatchable 

1/7

the voice acting is so over-the-top, they are doing their best to liven up the interactions but even the most consummate pro cannot mask the fact that this is the most boring dialogue. how did u manage to make icecream sound boring? I felt my brain cells lining up to jump off a cliff in protest

26/42

'a woman's pride is not the same as a man's pride'. h e  s a y s. a b o u t  h i m s e l f. hahaha

6/35

this has a very strong beginning but suffers from having to fill the middle eps without plot progression; many series in the old days were like that

21/24

I have never felt so disappointed by an anime in all my life. it has the most beautiful character designs and background art, with perfectly-fitting atmospheric sound design but, oh my fuck, the dialogue is the most self-regarding, pseudo-philosophical drivel I have ever heard, spouted by pretentious characters moping about the crumbling lanscape.

the dub is insufferable because they decided what would fit the tone of this gloomy anime is high-pitched cute-girl anime voices, with sexy sighs and heavy breathing.

yes, it is possible to make a great post-apocalyptic, 'gaze into the distance and ponder your existence', long series where nothing happens. Texhnolyze did it and it was brilliant! watch eet

2/12

fantasy cliches galore

6/12

I completed Chaos;Head out of fascination at what a bewildering clusterfuck it was at the time. now, a few iterations of the franchise later, and familiar with the formula, Chaos;Child feels like a boring every-harem

2/365

kill it with fire

10/65

infamous entertaining garbage. mileage varies

1/12

ep. 1 was fun, had an interesting premise well executed. I still had a feeling it was going to go the way of most battle shounen, following the formula to the letter

3/12

SPOILERS

I was repeatedly taken out of the magical setting by the incredibly dumb decisions made by characters because the plot wills it, like: have the attackers heard of basic military strategy? shouldn't the girl warn a nation that they're about to be exterminated instead of watching a fucking light show? don't worry, the attackers are going to pull out before accomplishing their mission - why - because melodrama between characters needs to happen. mind you, this is just 1 example

1/20

more highschoolers fighting shit. it's probably one of those where they diligently attend school as the world goes to fuck around them, just so they can face plant into each other's privates. fuuuuuuuuuu NOPE

3/51

the show is very well put together: the art is lovely, so is the sound, it's very tightly paced, making the jokes land well. but the molestation is too immersion-breaking and I'm referring to 1 particular punchline in each episode: when Ryou scares the living lights out of his recently-bereaved client by breaking into her house to touch her up 'for research purposes'. and she continues employing him! could they really not have found a better source of ecchi humour? Golden Boy did it and it was awesome! fuck this, I'm watching Cat's Eye instead
