Besuto tu Wasuto | Best to Worst | (1969/4/20): My ranking of every anime I have finished in order of how worthy of your time they are, based on my opinion. We are using the IGN method of scoring, by restricting everything to a 7. If you are looking for recommendations then this is the list you want. If you want something specific like a genre, then I will be adding a starter pack section soon. Go top to bottom until you find something you haven't seen before. This should be the default order, unless you pressed a button or if I fucked something up (likely). | |

 |
gdgd Fairies 2 (2013) | gdgd Fairies 2 (2013) | (2025/01/01): They actually made the second season even better than the first. I am not even sure if this qualifies as an anime, as it's mostly 3DCG, but if does then it is one of the best. When you think of surreal media it is usually in the horror or a horror adjacent genre, but the closest conventional genre you could assign to this would be comedy. | |
| 7.98 |
 |
Azumanga Daiou The Animation (2002) | Azumanga Daiou The Animation (2002) | (2025/01/01): If your favorite part of pulp fiction was the dialogue scenes, then this may become your favorite anime. Nothing happens in this anime. I think the highest stakes event that happens is that Chiyo-chan graduates from high school (spoiler alert). Also a running gag in the show is their pedophilic teacher tries to molest them repeatably, and its played for laughs. Japan moment. | |
| 7.97 |
 |
Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete (2024) | Gushing over Magical Girls (2024) | (2025/01/01): You don't see a penis in this show so it's technically not porn. This borderline hentai series has the best story of any mahou shoujo anime. So yeah I am watching this one for the plot. If you live in a bathtub with your family and can only watch anime on the family TV in front of everyone, then maybe avoid this one, but I thought the characters felt like they had a lot of depth to them. | |
| 7.96 |
 |
Mushoku Tensei II: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2 (2021) | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2 (2021) | (2025/01/01): Even if you didn't like the first 36 episodes for some reason, it's worth it just to get to this part of the story. Do not spoil it for yourself by trying to get more information, just go watch it, after watching the first 3 parts first. | |
| 7.95 |
 |
Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (2021) | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (2021) | (2025/01/01): What a stupid fucking name for an anime, in english and in japanese. Jobless Honkey Desu. This anime will make every other isekai seem shitty in comparison. There was only a single moment of bizarre 3DCG wheat in a field but, other than that, the visuals are some of the best of this century. They take the important parts of the story seriously, without those fucking terrible marvel tier quips that every isekai has now. The tone of this one reminds me of a lot of early 2000s anime. Degenerate. | |
| 7.945 |
 |
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (1988) | Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988) | (2025/01/01): Some things live up to the hype. I think the only genre that isn't covered in this anime is fantasy, they even got some BL action going on, I won't. spoil it beyond that though. Everything was extremely fleshed out, they actually used those 110 episodes to go deep in the plot, instead of spinning their wheels with stupid shit. I do wish there was less exposition and narration, but it was minor enough. | |
| 7.94 |
 |
Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World (2003) | Kino's Journey (2003) | (2025/01/01): Allegories so direct that they become surreal, Kino's dark adventure. The desaturation, the intentional lack of BGM for a lot of the scenes and the sparse dialogue give this show a very unique atmosphere that is unmistakably mid 2000s despite being in 16:9. I did not notice any terrible looking 3DCG, this whole anime looked great in terms of animation, color and visuals. The scanline filter is a strange choice to make considering most TVs in 2003 would have been CRTs, but it gives the show a unique look. skip the 2007 OVA. | |
| 7.935 |
 |
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica (2011) | Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011) | (2025/01/01): Girls doing magic with a slightly more mature plot, but tastefully done and not needlessly dark/misery porn. The characters have motivations for all of their actions. Must see for all. | |
| 7.93 |
 |
Yuru Yuri (2011) | YuruYuri: Happy Go Lily (2011) | (2025/01/01): If Azumanga was so good, why didn't they make an Azumanga 2? I was kinda sad when this show ended, its like finding out your close friend is going to another middle school and they say some shit like, "oh we can still hangout outside of school." Even though you both know damn well that's not going to happen and instead you are just going to drift apart. What was I talking about again? oh yeah yuruyuri. This show is consistently good, with maybe a slight dip in the last season. | |
| 7.925 |
 |
Made in Abyss: Retsujitsu no Ougonkyou (2022) | Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun (2022) | (2025/01/01): Much better pacing than the first season, while keeping all of the strengths. People are exaggerating how "dark" and "depressing" the tone of this show is. Maybe if you are like 6 and can't live with seeing a fictional character die. Some people did not watch Dark Crystal or Labyrinth as kids, and it shows. | |
| 7.921 |
 |
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) | Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) | (2025/01/01): Peak battle shounen. Other than a very out of place shot in OP1 there is no terrible looking 3DCG. Despite the somewhat extensive episode count, there wasn't anything in the story that was noticeably filler. This show is less faithful to the manga than FMA:Brotherhood, but I think it is actually better than brotherhood, if you aren't counting the movie. This does suffer from not having a satisfying ending, but the manga wasn't finished when this anime ended, so what can you do. | |
| 7.92 |
 |
gdgd Fairies (2011) | gdgd Fairies (2011) | (2025/01/01): This show is like radiation in that it is fun in small bursts, but I don't recommend sitting down and binging it all in one day. If Xavier Renegade Angel was moe, it would be called gdgd Fairies. I would actually recommend watching season 2 first, and then season 1 and the movie if you want to see more after that. There is no overarching plot in this show, except for like 2 episodes in season 2. Also, the animation is primitive and restrictive, they move like animatronics for most of S1. | |
| 7.919 |
 |
gdgd Fairies Movie: tte Iu Eiga wa Dou kana...? (2014) | gdgd Fairies Movie: tte Iu Eiga wa Dou kana...? (2014) | (2025/01/01): You can watch this at any point in the series and it will make the same amount of sense. The runtime is a bit excessive, this format definetly works better as a 10 minute TV show. | |
| 7.911 |
 |
Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi (2025) | A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof (2025) | (2025/01/01): Bleak and hilarious. Surreal slice of life comedy that treats life as disposable. There is some weird fetish shit that comes across as comedic. Boobmog | |
| 7.91 |
 |
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (2005) | Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan (2005) | (2025/01/01): Quintessential edgy mid 2000s comedy. Extremely graphic in terms of gore, not very sexually explicit, despite being labeled as ecchi on MAL, I think there was only 1 scene where a towel dropped when she was getting out of the shower or something. Only downside is how short it is, only 6 episodes including the second OVA. Make sure your version has either 6 25~ minute episodes or 12 12 minute episodes. You have to be on amphetamines to really get the humor. | |
| 7.91 |
 |
Takopii no Genzai (2025) | Takopi's Original Sin (2025) | (2025/01/01): A light hearted family friendly comedy, perfect for dog lovers =^). I am glad that there are mainstream anime that aren't afraid of showing fucked up shit. This show strikes a good balance between tragic and dark comedy with takopii's commentary on the fucked up shit happening around him. They ending is genuinely infuriating (I might explain why in a full review but I don't want to spoil this show), but even still the first half of this show earned it a high spot on my list for sure. | |
| 7.90 |
 |
Mushoku Tensei II: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (2023) | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 (2023) | (2025/01/01): Perfect pacing, action slows down a bit and it goes back to being primarily about the characters. The show starts to pick back up and gets really good here. This is one of the few royal academy arcs that I didn't hate in an anime. This show has a retarded and confusing naming convention, each season so far has been split up into 2 cours of 12 episodes for each cour, so this is the third cour of the series. | |
| 7.89 |
 |
Sousou no Frieren (2023) | Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023) | (2025/01/01): Kill demons, behead demons, roundhouse kick a demon into the concrete. Very good visuals, the bad CGI is far and few between. The tone of the show is perfect, they take it seriously when they should and play it for laughs when they should. For some inexplicable reason this show has a dramatic tone shift near the end of Season 1 and it turns into the chuunin exams, ie battle shounen junk. Let's hope Season 2 has less of this and has more of the cool elf doing adventure shit. | |
| 7.87 |
 |
Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2 (2021) | Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Part 2 (2021) | (2025/01/01): The weakest part of the series for sure. Would have preferred if they took their time and fleshed out some of the places that they were exploring some more. Still has a lot of the strengths that Season 1 had, and it is necessary to watch this to bridge to season 2. There were only a couple semi interesting moments that I remember from this season/cour/whatever. | |
| 7.865 |
 |
Devilman: Crybaby (2018) | Devilman: Crybaby (2018) | (2025/01/01): Preserves the pulpy feel of the older debiruman series, with modern animation style and pacing. When I saw that Netflix logo at the beginning I wanted to turn this shit off, but I am glad I didn't. There is surprisingly graphic nudity in this, like early 90's OVA type shit, I think you see one of the main character's hoohah, but I don't get the impression that the nudity was meant to be sexual, I believe it was meant to be more disturbing than anything else. man man man man man man, human. | |
| 7.864 |
 |
Food Court de, Mata Ashita. (2025) | See You Tomorrow at the Food Court (2025) | (2025/01/01): Genre: KFC, Slice of Chicken. If you like shows where nothing happens, but there is entertaining dialogue, then this may be the show for you. The whole show is 2 high school friends meeting up in a mall food court and talking about the most random shit. There is a random scene where indian men catch a stray for some reason, maybe the author hates them idk. | |
| 7.86 |
 |
Boruto: Naruto the Movie (2015) | Boruto: Naruto the Movie (2015) | (2025/01/01): Excellent movie, only reason to watch it is if you are undecided on whether you want to watch the show, as the movie in its entirety is turned into an arc in the show. | |
| 7.85 |
 |
Naruto (2002) | Naruto (2002) | (2025/01/01): A sampler pack of Early 2000's anime genres and tropes, with the perfect pacing. Japanese Fantasy excels when it focuses on local East Asian mysticism and philosophies. If this was set in Medieval Western Europe with DnD magic I would have given it a 4/10. This is a show for everyone. | |
| 7.84 |
 |
Fumetsu no Anata e (2021) | To Your Eternity (2021) | (2025/01/01): What if god had down syndrome and turned into a rock for 200 years.
This one is somewhat unique, in that you can't really make to many direct comparisons to
other works or categorize it in a conventional genre, let's do that anyway though. If your
favorite parts of Frieren were the traveling immortal person learns to be human section,
then this is the anime for you. Conversely if you liked the |

 |
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (2017) | Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (2017) | (2025/01/01): A good continuation of the story. There is some great character exploration that comes to a abrupt stop at the hands of some of the most truly awful filler primarily in the last third of the show. A filler guide is useless with this show because a lot of the filler is more interesting than or expands on the cannon/manga material. If you liked Naruto and aren't a lil bitch then you will like this one. | |

 |
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 3: Hangyaku no Monogatari (2013) |
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion (2013) | (2025/01/01): Fuck you shaft, this should have been a second season instead of a god damn movie. I hated this when I first saw it, but I rewatched it recently and changed my opinion on it. The pacing comes off as rushed, but I liked the direction they went with the ending. I may change my rating of this based on the walpuirshignnacht movie, if it ever gets released. | |
| 7.822 |
 |
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (2016) | Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (2016) | (2025/01/01): Better execution than most isekais, wish they would have focused on the world more than the romance between characters, but it's whatever. There is a unique twist on a genre that has been done to death. The isekai element is not the typical reincarnation as an OP supergod with abilities and memories of the previous life, so it stands out for that alone. Crucially this show minimizes the time spent on the characters previous life that no one gives a shit about(wrote this before seeing S2). There were no video game UIs and there were no video game RPG elements like leveling up skills or whatever stupid bullshit that usually pisses me off with these shows. Overacting was kinda bad at times. Not a must watch, but I think most people will like this one. | |
| 7.821 |
 |
Fumetsu no Anata e Season 2 (2022) | To Your Eternity Season 2 (2022) | (2025/01/01): Slower pace than the first season, which is good, but they spend a little too much time on the epic battle. Worth watching to bridge to the third season. | |
| 7.82 |
 |
Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (2015) | Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (2015) | (2025/01/01): A good premise with a good execution. It's got something for everyone, it's a mixed gender harem set in a highschool, it's got mind swapping and a ton of other /d/egenerate fetishes, but in a pg-13 way. I thought this show was a lot of fun. They would have raunchy a BL fanservice scene and then do a homophobic joke right afterward as if they didn't just show 2 guys doing that. | |
| 7.815 |
 |
Happy Sugar Life (2018) | Happy Sugar Life (2018) | (2025/01/01): Finally, a "dark" anime where they actually included some dark things in it. It's not the most fucked up thing in the world, but it may be too much for some of you bitch made niggas out there. They use sexual depravity as a horror element, and I think it works in this case. | |
| 7.81 |
 |
Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Shikabane no Yuusha (2025) | Clevatess (2025) | (2025/01/01): Thematically its a 90s style dark fantasy with modern pacing and art style. Best intro and outro theme of 2025. Explicit as you can be for a network TV show, there was plenty of blood and implied nudity/fanservice. Hopefully the bluray removes some of the censorship. | |
| 7.76 |
 |
Made in Abyss Movie 3: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei (2020) | Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul (2020) | (2025/01/01): This really did not need to be in movie format. They jammed half a season worth of plot into a movie and the pacing suffered for it. In addition the story was not as interesting as the rest of the show. You should still watch this as it bridges you from season 1 to season 2, but it felt like I was waiting for the story to resume while I was watching this. | |
| 7.751 |
 |
ENDRO! (2019) | Endro! (2019) | (2025/01/01): An interesting fusion of genres, fantasy and slice of life with some comedy and CGDCT mixed in. It leans way more into the slice of life and comedy elements than being a straight fantasy anime, so if you are expecting that then you will be disappointing. I think I would have preferred that, but what we got was still pretty good. This show is very light hearted, there are almost no stakes, everything was well animated. | |
| 7.75 |
 |
Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu (2022) | Skeleton Knight in Another World (2022) | (2025/01/01): There are elements of this that I really love and some that I really hate. Explicit Video game mechanics including GUI = I wanna die pls. The lines at times are worse than that sword isekai, but the delivery is always solid. The reason that I have this rated so high is because it is a rare modern example of an isekai protagonist being the unambiguous good guy. The opening scene of the show is him cutting a bunch of rapers and slavers in half with his giant sword. | |
| 7.73 |
 |
Naruto: Shippuuden (2007) | Naruto: Shippuuden (2007) | (2025/01/01): Expands on the interesting philosophy and mythology of the series that is already well defined. The first half of this show is on par with the original in terms of quality, the second half is so bad that you only watch just to see how it ends. Filler guide is required. | |
| 7.725 |
 |
Hametsu no Oukoku (2023) | The Kingdoms of Ruin (2023) | (2025/01/01): I liked the unique theme and tone, we don't get too many convincingly dark revenge stories anymore. The execution was not the best, it really is baffling how some of these shows that are only 12 episodes total can spin their wheels on some nonsense. | |
| 7.72 |
 |
Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: Watashi wa Ura-Boss desu ga Maou dewa Arimasen (2024) | Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord (2024) | (2025/01/01): Opens with terrible choppy CGI straight outta 1995, off to a great start. The pacing was very good and it was story driven as opposed to repetitive battles every episode. A fresh take on this stupid-ass genre, which I understand they have to put it in for it to be financially viable. I wish there was a second season of this. | |
| 7.71 |
 |
Higeki no Genkyou to Naru Saikyou Gedou Last Boss Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu. (2020) | (2020) | (2025/01/01): My original review consisted of "SchizoTech with an interesting premise, good execution, good pacing. Not a lot of action in this one." I am importing this review from MAL 3-4 months later and I do not remember a thing about this show, and I remember watching filler episodes of dragon ball Z 20 years ago where goku and piccolo needed to get their drivers licenses. I guess I liked this one? I couldn't tell you. I might rewatch it when the second season comes out. | |

 |
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 2nd Season (2020) | Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 (2020) | (2025/01/01): Has some of the better episodes of the whole series. Animation quality is very bad at times. Has a lot of repetitive scenes and arcs that feel like they go nowhere. | |
| 7.69 |
 |
Spy x Family (2022) | Spy x Family (2022) | (2025/01/01): Season 1 spends way too much time on a fundamentally uninteresting main plot. The side quest where Anya is trying to stop a dog from running away is more engaging then whatever repetitive nonsense is happening at the royal academy. I am fine with the academy stuff being unresolved at the end of Season 1 if it's being used as a vehicle for the plot as a whole, but Season 2 better have more going on. | |

Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuu Kimama na Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu suru (2024) | 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! (2024) | (2025/01/01): These otome villainess isekai anime are so similar I can not tell them apart, but this one is the best out of the ones that I have seen so far, I think. It does have some levity, but not the obnoxious=funny kind of humour. No academy arc shenanigans, thank god. A large part of the story focuses on romance, which I didn't mind. The character design ranges from bad to generic. If you like female centered romance and you also like battle shounen style combat, then maybe check this out, it's not a must see. | |
| 7.671 |
 |
Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari: Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story (2023) | Tearmoon Empire (2023) | (2025/01/01): This had a very interesting premise, a queen has the ability to travel back in time and use her memories to improve her kingdom. Do they do anything interesting with that premise? not really. There was really bad pacing where a lot of nothing happened after the first few episodes. | |
| 7.67 |
 |
Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra: Hametsu no Bunmei de Hajimeru Sekai Seifuku (2025) | Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin (2025) | (2025/01/01): An isekai based on Civ type 4X games instead of DQ, finally something different. Had an interesting premise and started out strong, but S1 stalled somewhat in the last third, introducing some stupid enemy that no one cared about, instead of exploring what made the series seem so interesting at the start, Mynoghra's interaction with existing nations in the world. I am still optimistic that season 2 will yield something worth watching. Disappointing. | |
| 7.65 |
 |
Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan (2025) | The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World (2025) | (2025/01/01): He drives a car through medieval europe. He has the super power of getting amazon delivered to the past. It sounds stupid because it is, but it was fun to watch. A half-interesting half-comedic premise, decent execution. | |
| 7.63 |
 |
Pupa (2014) | Pupa (2014) | (2025/01/01): This is charming in the way that a low budget early 90's OVA is. The art is far from perfect, but there is no terrible looking 3dCG, so I can say that much at least. What is truly shocking is that not only was this made by an actual studio, but a major acclaimed studio such at that. DEEN made Tenshi no Tamago 30 years prior, Rurouni Kenish 20 years prior and Konosuba 2 years after making this. I guess they had more than 5 minutes per episode to work on it in those cases. This one is only like 45 minutes, it would have a much lower rating had it crossed that hour mark. | |
| 7.621 |
 |
Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki Part 2 (2022) | How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom Part 2 (2022) | (2025/01/01): Basically had the same thoughts for this that I did with season 1. Who was this made for? I don't think the average isekai watcher is going to be interested in palace politics, or maybe they will be. The premise was moderately interesting and the execution was mediocre. | |
| 7.62 |
 |
Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki (2021) | How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (2021) | (2025/01/01): This show is Neoliberal propaganda. This is probably the strangest isekai story I have seen, even stranger than the vending machine one. He gets isekaid and turned into a technocratic monarch. There's some harem shit too, but they don't get degenerate enough for it to be entertaining in that aspect. Don't let that description oversell how good this show is, it was honestly very boring. | |
| 7.61 |
 |
Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (2022) | The Eminence in Shadow (2022) | (2025/01/01): Starts out with one of the worst first episodes, intentional cringe is still cringe. The writers seem to think that playing every trope and cliche as straight as possible is what makes something funny, and it works sometimes, like with his engrish catchphrase, but most of the time it is just terrible. The interesting parts of the story are seeing how his various alternate identities interact with each other and the characters that he has interacted with as other versions of himself. Unfortunately that makes up maybe 1/3 of the runtime, while the rest is given to royal academy nonsense that you could get in any other anime. Overrated. | |
| 7.59 |
 |
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (2005) | Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (2005) | (2025/01/01): So bad it's entertaining. They have to stop nazi vampires from nuking the world or something. I don't give a shit about spoiling this one, it's fucking retarded anyways. I wouldn't even recommend watching this one at all, even if you want to see how FMA03 ends. | |

Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Byouki no Kuni - For You (2007) | Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Byouki no Kuni - For You (2007) | (2025/01/01): Shaft making Kino? this has got to be the best thing ever, right? WRONG! This OVA introduces CGI that looks terrible, even for the time, to the series. The story would be the weakest episode if it were part of the main series. they also forgot to put on the scanline filter. Not even worth watching. | |

Eiyuuou, Bu wo Kiwameru Tame Tenseisu: Soshite, Sekai Saikyou no Minarai Kishi♀ (2023) | TReborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire ♀ (2023) | (2025/01/01): Dainanaoji but about swordsmanship instead of magic, an truly novel character motivation. if you like seeing sword fights and don't give shit about anything else then maybe check this out, otherwise I would say this one is safe to skip. | |
| 7.54 |
 |
Magic Maker: Isekai Mahou no Tsukurikata (2025) | Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World (2025) | (2025/01/01): Another isekai where they filled in a prompt using a template. Ends with a showdown of the big bad demon lord blah blah blah blah blah blah. The only terrible looking CGI in the show was the horses and the carriage for some reason, its like an inside joke to have bad horses and carriages in anime now. There is also some really weird siscon shit, and not in a comedic way. | |
| 7.531 |
 |
Psycho-Pass (2012) | Psycho-Pass (2012) | (2025/01/01): >watches minority report once Even for 2012 this was a dated premise. Generic late 90's tech dystopia Sci-Fi crap. An overdone theme executed in a mediocre and forgettable fashion. Pretentious surface level regurgitation of a Philosophy 101 lecture. This show really thought it was the next Death Note. |
|

Deadman Wonderland (2011) | Deadman Wonderland (2011) | (2025/01/01): The edgiest edge that ever edged. Bleak, hopeless and unfinished. Started out with a somewhat interesting premise, pacing went to shit in the middle of the show and then the plot went nowhere and the show abruptly ended. If they release an OVA or a second season or something to conclude this then maybe I will bump this up a point or 2, but as it stands now don't bother watching this. | |

Makai Toshi Shinjuku (1988) | Demon City Shinjuku (1988) | (2025/01/01): If you want to watch some beautiful cel anime then that is the only reason to consider watching this. The premise is terrible, the plot is terrible, the music is terrible, the characters are the definition of generic. There are consistently impressive visuals throughout the movie though, it is a Madhouse production after all. At 79 minutes, it's not unbearable. If this were half an hour longer I would have issues with it. | |

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 3rd Season (2024) | Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 3 (2024) | (2025/01/01): Really bad pacing. The whole thing feels like filler. There's a whole lot of nothing happening, skip this season except for the last 5 minutes of the last episode. | |

Corpse Party: Missing Footage (2012) | Corpse Party: Missing Footage (2012) | (2025/01/01): They really tried to cram the entire setup for the plot of the show into 10 minutes, and it almost worked. If this had been around 45-90 minutes this might have salvaged the series somewhat. Wacky bathtub antics. | |

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S (2021) | Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S (2021) | (2025/01/01): There is not much to say about this because not there was not much that happened. It was slightly better than Season 1, but that isn't saying much. | |

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (2017) | Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (2017) | (2025/01/01): Don't believe the hype. There are shows where nothing happens and it's still entertaining but this isn't one of them. Characters were introduced and then 2 episodes later another character would be introduced with no story or character development happening in between. This whole show felt like filler that occurs when an anime is ahead of the manga and they have to pause the actual story for some bullshit. Reminds me of Dragonball when goku starts collecting sidekicks as if they are pokemon, but without any of the charm. | |

Dark Gathering (2023) | Dark Gathering (2023) | (2025/01/01): A waste of time. Story doesn't go anywhere. Gore = scary. Episodes were so formulaic a game of phasmaphobia has more variation. | |

Katsudou Shashin (1907) | Katsudou Shashin (1907) | (2025/01/01): It will take you longer to read this sentence than to go and watch this animation in its entirety. I only included this one because its said to be the first anime ever made, it is otherwise not noteworthy. He wave a his cap and writes something. | |

Hellsing Ultimate (2006) | Hellsing Ultimate (2006) | (2025/01/01): I'm draccing off. This show looks like it was made to appeal to the school shooter audience. Terrible cgi everywhere. Yaoi body proportions. Nothing anyone does or says makes any sense. They get basic shit wrong like facial expressions. The plot sounds like schizophrenic word salad. Would not recommend anyone watch this. How is this show in the top 200 on MAL, people on that site are smoking Crackula. | |

Corpse Party: Tortured Souls Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou (2013) | Corpse Party: Tortured Souls (2013) | (2025/01/01): Not entertainingly bad, just bad. Character backstories copy and pasted from a template. 1 dimensional cardboard cutout characters. Atrocious looking 3DCG. The only good thing I have to say about this one is that it's short. Even with OVA, it's only 2 hours of your time completely wasted. |
