anime opinions 🧵
ratings are mostly by vibe
heavy, serious, tons of body horror, very flawed and relatable character, many political and military themes; explores human nature, potential, prejudice, and the lottery of birth. somewhat inconsistent art

https://twitter.com/taevgukie/status/1384865236776329217
amazing art, dynamic animation, fun & relatable characters w/ plausible motivations (mostly). explores themes of the psyche's dark underbelly, collective trauma/suffering, transmutation of pain into power
also egregores

super fun, engaging, inspiring typical shonen. power scaling is a bit off, plot doesn't make much sense, but you don't care bc you love the characters too much. unpleasant character art style ruins it for me

a classic among classics, defines the baseline of good anime for me. great characters, overall amazing plot (too much filler, plot goes haywire near the end), fantastic art and so much personality. funny as hell too

intolerably bad, do not bother. made for rather stupid children, very low effort characters & dialogue. promising plot but couldn't deal w everything else long enough to get to it. quit partway thru the second arc
