I WAS TALKIN BOUT JOJO 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW THE UNIVERSE FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD TO GIVE US A NEW SZN

I'll need a PV tho

Can you explain AOT4 and Horimiya scores? Both were really good

He fought that muscular alien dude and he did like a 10 minute speech... Really boring conclusion

That's what u said last season which was mid af

Can I ask this thread something about Orange?

Isn't it f***ed up that They all worked together to set up the main girl with the suicidal dude? I mean it's cool they're trying to save his life but, she's literally married to the other guy and they have a baby :clapdead: You're telling me they're basically killing the baby and their relationship. I'm sure there's some other way to prevent him from killing himself. Like therapy?

theyre talking about the Orange, the animation studio, not the anime orange lol

apparently manga readers sayin it aint rly grooming cuz the MC is into another co worker for a lot of time and the teenager is nearly 18 when she moves in. They also say the dude in his early 20s so the age gap isn't really that big.

The range of opinions over the last two pages is outlandish

Ok that episode of MHA was much better than the first.

Well first, image above to provide context for how I generally score stuff since I know there's a lot of people who think anything below a 7 is terrible.

AOT4 I don't think any of the characters are particularly interesting outside of Reiner. The animation didn't look great other than a couple notable scenes such as Gabi reloading a gun, or the Scout's maneuvering up to the blimp. CGI looked ugly. Some of the new thematic threads that were introduced are OK, but until the series ends and I see how those thematic threads are closed they just seem kinda standard right now.

Horimiya was fine. I didn't give a f*** about any of the characters in the show. They all felt like generic people with generic dynamics. But the compositing was very pretty and the show didn't do anything egregiously bad I guess. It just all felt like a standard junk food romcom to me.

Well damn I hope nobody clicked then

it was fire. Not my fault you didnt like it and I keep saying that cause mha has been getting better ever since

mushoku tensei 8.5/10s
JJK 8/10
rezero 8/10 and i really hated the first season
beastars 7/10
wonder egg priority hella problematic so 4/10

promised neverland -3/10
sk8 infinity was so boring i had to drop it 0/10

my winter rankings

AOT S4: 9/10 (honestly just outside of some eps feeling like straight up exposition dumps, this is pretty much what the peak of anime looks like. Exceptional worldbuilding, storytelling, and it even fixes what I had always felt was the weakest aspect of AOT: its characters. Reiner and Eren are all time anime characters with how well they have been developed. Very excited to see it end)
Mushoku Tensei: 7.5/10 (its problematic but I also don't think the show has glorified its protagonist at all, if anything it has shown how he is not actually special and has many flaws outside of his f***ed up perversions. Exceptional worldbuilding so far as well and I like the narrative approach, but it still feels a bit like a generic isekai even if its considered the anime that birthed a lot of the tropes.)
Wonder Egg Priority: 7/10
Re:Zero S2 Part 2: 6/10
HoriMiya: 5/10 (wholesome and fun to see but its so bland and forgettable in the grand scheme of things)
TPN S2: 0/10 (yeah this was an abomination)

4-5 is bad territory for me it's like a 2 star

Anyways I think the main focus in AOT4 was the plot and I thought it was really interesting, felt like a lot of plot and world development happened and I was at the edge of my seat every week

I've seen a lot of people criticize the animation, I didn't really notice it being bad apart from a few CGI titans

As for the characters, I guess I don't care either, got you there

Now for Horimiya. Didn't you think it's good for a romance anime? It moves fast and doesn't rely on tropes that usually derail romance anime (no big misunderstandings or conflicts that last for several episodes, the characters actually talk to each other, the main couple is interesting and has a lot of chemistry together and I geniuenly thought the jokes were funny?)

I can see it being a pretty standard romance when it comes to plot, but here the plot isn't the point and it's more about the characters. If you didn't like the characters that's understood but what's not to like really. Even the non-Horimiya centered episodes were good.

I still think it peaked at Todoroki's arc but hey I'm still watching

1 star - terrible
2 stars - bad
3 stars - fine
4 stars - good
5 stars - great

My rankings:

Attack On Titan Final Season: 10/10
(Jujutsu Kaisen: 8/10)
Beastars Season 2: 8/10
Wonder Egg Priority: 7/10
Dr. Stone Stone Wars: 7/10
Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2: 6/10
Horimiya: 5/10
The Promised Neverland Season 2: 2/10

Idk if I’ll ever watch as many seasonals as winter 2021 again so I’ll drop some scores too

AOT season 4 - 9/10
Non non biyori s3 - 9/10
Jaku chara tomozaki - 8/10
Yuru camp s2 - 8/10
Wonder egg priority - 6/10
Horimiya - 6/10
Jujutsu Kaisen - 6/10
Re:zero s2 p2 - 3/10
Log horizon s3 - 3/10
Promised neverland s2 - dropped at episode 3 / 10

The animation in these heavens feel movies is

Yo log horizon was so boring I forgot I even started watching it

4-5 is fine for me

My main priorities in anime are characters and theme so that's one of the big reasons why I don't have AOT4 that high. Like you said, it's mostly plot-focused and I really don't care about plot at all.

Horimiya characters weren't bad, but they weren't really that compelling. Like, I can't really describe anything about any of the characters as people other than their one main shtick in the story. They're just kinda there and they pale in comparison to characters in some other stuff like White Album 2 or NANA.

Do you like Fullmetal Alchemist? I'm asking because it's clearly plot focused, but imo all the characters are great.
