I can power through some awful sub 5min shows no problem but this one does not seem to be concerned to explain what it's whacky story concept was about and instead focuses on unfunny comedy normalizing zoophilia he gets turned on by a wiggly tail (target audience is probably in the furry realm..).
I wasn't sold by the earlier episodes but this got really whacky really quick and makes the case that screaming with le epic meme faces comedy can actually be quite entertaining ;)...
Looking past the early attempts for brownie points I did not really find something to grasp onto.
I have very little memories of the previous TV adaptation but it's certainly sad to see an iconic character like Salem was be pretty much non-existent in this. This version of Sabrina not shying away from the darker implications of witchcraft is certainly one of the better aspects of the show but it was still weird to watch as it's those elements that bite with the more YA topics of it (which shouldn't be when it has a demographic of 18+ tbh).
At some point I feel like Netflix took the "we don't have to limit episode run times" moto as an excuse to just stretch out content to better fit their business model... you can watch a 10 hours long season only to get superficial storylines. Many aspects of the show are only just starting to develop (her "mortal" friends in particular) and a lot of what went on felt very contrieved. It's so inconsistent that it feels like someone forced them to do it that way. But remember, she is a bad ass witch yo..! How this comes to be does not matter. Morality jumps all over the place unlike Sabrina's powerlevel which is Mary Sue tier. Her relationship with her boyfriend is awkward to watch and must have been though for the actors as well, her friends are just background noise to randomly insert when needed... and so is a lot of the stuff (including the past of her parents)... At this point I feel like I could rant on for quite a while so I'm just going to go ahead and lower the rating further. Yes, you can watch it... but I'm not sure who really should.
I think Mike Flanagan is quite competent in most of what he does, but nothing of his ever blew me away. This show is no different as he certainly is aware of today's tropes and crafts an unusually slow paced horror story more focused on the psychological impact of the haunting than scares, but after so many scene transitions between the story's timelines it gets quite tedious. It is really the later half of the series that tainted my enjoyment with more focus on melodramatic elements, monologues and a conclusion that had me feeling like I just wasted quite a lot of time...
I fear this has nothing to offer besides KVs by Yoshitoshi ABe..? The pre-release seems to be a good dump to get impatient people on it (seeing as CR also has production credits).
Besides the episode about Intersex this is quite awful but expected given that this is by Buzzfeed.
Wow... didn't expect this to be so bad. There are some beautiful backgrounds to look at here but that's about the praise this gets from me. Feels like Groening can't really progress as a writer. If maybe the leads had any chemistry then it would have been easier to get into it but as it stands I didn't even chuckle once and the jokes moreso were cringey given that fantasy setting this is supposed to takes place in.
Riding on the wave of Osomatsu-san this crashes hard for me...
Despite being produced by Studio BONES "Dragon Pilot" seems to have had little hype behind it. This is also the reason why I'd feel bad not commenting about it here. Not only does the show have a colorful design a bit different from others but also manages to deliver a fantasy/comedy hybrid with very few clichés attached to it. My worries that this would be some furry pandering show were for nothing ,).
In the days of legit shilling even some people who hated SOA would tell you this is better.... it's not. I'd argue it's even more offensive.
LLENN is a Mary Sue and just like the main show this is loaded with ass pulls and non-existent logic in it's world... The action scenes are extremely boring to watch and visually dull. Pito is an even worse villain than "I just wanted friends, LOL" guy as she made me want to scratch my eyes out after every dumb line of hers.
F* this show. Save Sigsawa-san.
Really not bad for a mascot show. It's quite simplistic but the characters are quirky enough to make things entertaining. The last arc dragged a bit but they are only 10 minute episodes anyways ;).
Absolutely comfy-core TV... despite launching with positive press apparently no one on trakt watched this. Too bad :/.
Dropped at Episode 2.
While tolerable this show is EXTREMELY repetitive as it only has the single joke for every segment. I would have preferred to see this as a short series instead.
This show is pretty far up it's own ass... While there is some commendable experimentation and variation present it can't overshadow the fact that most of it's "jokes" are not funny. Running every episode twice but with different voice actors is further evidence of this.
Mediocre at best loli slice of life that is at least innocent... Most of it is really just boring and repetitive and it doesn't help that Silver Link is definitely not at their A-game with tons of lazy shortcuts and off-model shots.
This is the kind of post-apocalyptic slife-of-life you will only ever get in anime format. Despite looking like it would be focused on war-themes it just sets the backdrop as it is more concerned with exploring the mysterious world they live in. While there are plenty of elements I despised it was still an enjoyable ride set to a great OST. It's closer to the original Kino's Journey than the remake this season...
Penned by NisiOisiN this is mostly a boring tournament show in the vein of Fate... just a bit more edgy (looking at you necromancer bunny). You shouldn't bother with this unless are shooting to see every action show ever. The format is repetitive (queue backstory, then fight!), the production is far from sleek and there isn't much to latch onto given the format otherwise.
If anime taught me anything then it's that it can make even the most apparent (subjective) boring things work. Unfortunately a lot of this was just not very exciting, part because of it's generic framework and imho muddled character interactions but also because of Production I.G not bringing their A-game.
What fanservice elements make up in female centered idol shows is here replaced by "we have jobs and hobbies because dudes". It's all a bit mundane for my tastes so I'll leave it at three episodes ;)... not that I should have started this show in the first place.
Pretty much your standard light novel adaptation with all of it's flaws.. the biggest one being that this isn't optimized at all for a 12 episode show and mostly wanders on fillter-tier content without proper resolution. I probably would have dropped this if I wasn't hoping for a certain character to become more active in the story.
While I didn't hate the show it has a weird tone as if your parents were trying to be edgy & cool but are still settling for family friendly goofs... The episodic nature keeps things somewhat interesting as it's the local residents whose interactions end up being especially cringeworthy.
Not really the most exciting gambling show as the games sort of happen without the viewer feeling much of an investment or really having much to guess about but damn are the facial expressions gold (very similar to Prison School).
I enjoyed the author's previous anime adaptation "The Comic Artist and His Assistants" and Aho-Girl is quite similar. While again not all jokes are always working; she's just so loud and void of common sense I can't help but feel entertained.
A cute show where it's easy to tune in.
The cooking recipes shown in the ending sequence are more interesting than the actual show.
Crunchyroll is looking to release all of the episodes on July 1st where as in Japan it will be broadcast weekly (http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/4218/time) but was already released in comico at 360p.
Not that you're likely to produce anything substancial with 3 minute episodes but this show is pretty much scraping the bottom barrel of "cute girls doing cute things".
This is one of the shows I'm not quite sure why I even bothered. It starts out quite harmless with a rergular setup for either a coming of age or drama with bishis... some episodes later we're however quite deep in yaoi territory which I was not expecting considering the age of the boy involved. This just feels wrong... Season 2 coming this Winter.
This show postiviley surprised me with a lovely cast and for the lack of a better word "comfy" mood. The titular lazy main character really allows for a unique laid back comedy. Kudos to Silver LInk.
