I agree with almost all of your points, but to me Shin was a lot more palatable than Mikazuki was. Mikazuki didn't even feel like a protagonist in his own show, being a sack of potatoes who just stood behind Orga who did all the decision making. Mika doesn't really act as a squad leader either...

I thought it was meh. The 3D CGI mechs looked awful. The backgrounds were photorealistic and boring, and the simple 2D characters overlaid ontop with a lot of filters smeared over looked bad too. The Legion mechs and the Giad uniforms looked good in illustrations, though. Music was forgettable...

Tessa should have won. I'd like for the FMP anime adaptation to finish, but given how low the production values were for Invisible Victory, the future looks bleak. Doubt the sequel will get an anime either given how the Spice & Wolf anime adaptation didn't finish and its sequel didn't get...

Scrapped Princess - 4/10 (Bad) The first few episodes were fun. The show was made after the transistion to digital but the aesthetic was still good. Backgrounds and production quality was overall higher than most shows airing within the last 10 years. The show had that good adventure feel as...

Read a few chapters of Oshi no Ko a few years ago. As @Terthna said, it's soap opera.

Rahxephon It's an unadulterated Evangelion clone to a T. Alien invasion by creepy organic mecha (Angels/Dolems)? Check. The nations of the world established a powerful NGO to combat them (NERV/TERRA)? Check. Said organization uses their own creepy organic mecha reverse engineered from the...

Suzume - 7/10 (Good) It was enjoyable enough that I didn't go to the bathroom once, so it's good. English dub is good. I was debating whether or not to give this a 6/10 (fine). The movie is more of the same. Same formula as Your Name and Weathering With You (teenager runs away from home to...

For one, it's a different culture with a different taste in aesthetics. Also, tastes change over time, just like how steroid hulks like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were in vogue decades ago, but not any longer. Another factor is that many anime is set during school, so the...

I have finished Last Exile. I will start off with the positives. In spite of the 3D CGI, the show looks cool. Airships with people manning observations towers looking around with binoculars. People shouting down brass tubes. People aiming signaling lamps at each other to communicate in morse...

You're thinking of Serena from XY. Ash helped her out once at summer camp and she developed a crush on him. When he came to Kalos, she saw him on TV and decided to leave home to go follow him around, but eventually decided she wanted to go do Pokemon contests. She gave Ash a goodbye kiss at the...

End of an era. Ash is finally leaving. New TV show without Ash to begin airing in April 2023. Before then, Ash is going to get a last 11 episodes to send him off. Hopefully he goes home, opens a gym, and marries May.

Saiunkoku Monogatari - Dropped I watched this for 13 episodes. It's strange how the show keeps giving mixed signals as to what it is promising to the audience. The narrated intro in the first episode talks about how the world was overrun by demons until one young man rose up to fight them, and...

IBO had polygamy, and now this. Feels like Gundam is going down the fetish train for some reason. I might check out Witch from Mercury, but I hope it does something really different. I've seen almost everything Gundam and they're all the same story of "Earth Federation oppresses space colonies...

The OVA series is overrated but still pretty good. Great aesthetics. The remake series is... okay, is a little better in some places but overall not as good as the OVA series. Doesn't feel as epic and lacks the aesthetics.

I would first dig through ANN's answerman articles, as there are many posts that go into detail about the history of anime licensing and distribution and the hurdles involved. Assuming titles could be acquired in the first place, I'd be thinking about how to get the word out. Internet...

Knights and Magic A computer programmer who spends his money building gunpla gets hit by a truck and reincarnates in a fantasy world as Ernie. There are monster hordes and the monsters themselves are pretty huge, with the smallest being the size of a car. As such, fighting against them on foot...

IIRC in mid 2020 he made a joke about covid which twitter tried to twist into "he's racist!" and pushed to get him cancelled. He made the terrible mistake of apologizing for it, then locked his twitter and people tried contacting FUNimation to get him fired.

FUNimation voice actors were envious of Vic's success and tried to throw him under the bus. Monica Rial confessed during the deposition that she was upset that she was voicing the main character of a show, but it was Vic's name who was listed on the box, not hers. Vic was also a Christian, which...

Fate/Stay Night's porn sections were shoehorned in because at the time conventional wisdom said you needed porn to sell a VN.

I thought the first half of S1 was decent. Felt like you were down in the trenches with characters dying left and right to artillery bombardments. Then by the time episode 8 rolled around, they ran out of fodder characters and it was just the 5 guys on the poster left, which sucked the tension...
