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

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

extremely solid, basically the modern Naruto, ie the default anime I recommend to newbies. has all the right elements of a shonen & is enjoyable on mostly every level. lots of lighthearted fun but gets serious occasionally

NOT entry level, has required watching prereqs; more of a genre deconstruction than anything, but very well done. highly enjoyable ride up the typical Trigger exponential power scaling curve, lots of weird sexual themes

highly poignant art piece of a show, starts slow but accelerates out of control; deep body horror, psyche plumbing, tragically flawed characters, it breaks your heart. closest thing to aesthetic perfection I've seen so far

kinda low class & derivative but very fun & mindless; every character is a reference to something & the "plot" is more of an excuse for antics than angfhibf, altho ok at times. good for wasting time when high or distracted

the laughingstock popularizer of the isekai genre, embarrassingly bad, esp since it had so much potential. a thinly veiled harem anime w/ a boring invincible protagonist that functions as a self-insert for quiet male nerds

Very Good. a labor of love, follows a quiet young kid as he learns to find his voice and place in the world. he's highly relatable & admirable, self deprecating and humble, and works hard. also he's a most powerful psychic

a self aware meme of a show, starts off slow but quickly blossoms; utterly ridiculous & unpredictable, except the good guys always win. embarrassingly sexual but in a good way; highly unique art and characters

basically a Neal Stephenson novel, with the plot mostly an excuse to show tech trees, blueprints, synthesis schemas and the like. very silly but gets serious on occasion, when it reminds you of the plot. greatly inspiring

another genre deconstruction; how does the world's most powerful man defeat ennui? super fun, tons of references, you know exactly whats going to happen 99% of the time, but that 1% makes it worthwhile. inconsistent art.
