Report TheNinthRequiem's Profile

Notable Hot takes (I have many):


1) Jujutsu Kaisen is pretty good, but in the anime at least, it was dragged out quite a bit and the ending left me quite unfulfilled.

2) Unless the anime is done really well, I cannot stand harems. It makes the mc's attachment with each significant other so insincere. Specifically if you root for one specific best guy/girl and the mc has decided that they're going to "pay attention" to another character. It breaks my heart by making the relationship with the character i liked seem so shallow and meaningless.

3) Darling in the Franxx is actually extremely underrated. The show actually reaches very high peaks and has some really memorable moments. A show doesn't have to have ingenious storytelling to be entertaining. The show stuck with me for a long time after watching it. It's a really sweet romantic story at heart. Definitely not perfect but I really enjoyed the show overall. It's one of if not my favourite anime.

4) If your show's main villain/boss kills off or hurts their subordinates in some way with the guise of "instilling fear in the other henchmen" and the audience. You are not crafting a good nor smart villain. I treat it as the show not having good enough writing to create a fearsome villain naturally. There are so many ways to make a fearsome villain. Them killing hurting/killing their subordinates just directly reduces their firepower, resources, and loyalty among subordinates.

Recent decision , I have decided to remove all my rating for OVAs and specials alike as I found myself typically rating them much harsher because they didn't match with the original series' quality. Which is true but they are also OVAs and specials for a reason. But this in turn was messing up my MAL average as I found myself believing I was being very unfair to some shows. I will still try to leave a couple of parting words for them and leave them as completed as it helps me keep track of what I have watched in summation. But in general for recommendations, if I liked the series, there is a high chance I would recommend the OVAs or specials unless mentioned otherwise in the tags.
