You know it's odd

Verb is watching more anime than some of the "weebs" on this site, which really gets my noggin joggin

Maybe it's just the best industry to critique since it's just too easy sometimes.

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Have you reviewed cowboy Bebop yet? That shit is mad depressing son.
yeah, but i wasn't super into it

i had mixed feelings about it, since some of the episodes are very good, but they were mixed in with some pretty dull ones as well

the ones that were good really left an impression on me, though, like the first episode and the lobster episode

I always viewed the full episodes as a sort of plateau on the rollercoaster. You know it's going to drop soon, but at least you can be comfortable for a bit.

Edit: that was meant to say dull

Plus the soundtrack is super nice to listen to.

Street Fighter II V (Group TAC, 1995, five episodes) Given that I'm already a pretty big Street Fighter fan, I kind of expected to find some enjoyment out of this, especially when it has a decent premise for the source material. But I didn't, really. It takes itself far too seriously, all the fight scenes are pretty laughable, and overall, it wound up being far too slow-paced for me to even finish. 5/10

Wedding Peach (KSS, 1995, one episode) I cannot believe that this Not-Sailor Moon has over 50 episodes to watch of it. 2/10

Azuki-chan (Madhouse, 1995, one episode) This isn't even close to my demographic, and I'm not quite deep enough into my insanity to where I can start imagining myself as a little Japanese girl before I start watching shows that are intended for them (I'm getting there, though). 5/10

Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger (Shaft, 1995, one episode) 1/10

Soar High! Isami (Group TAC, 1995, one episode) 4/10

801 T.T.S. Airbats (Studio Fantasia, 1995, two episodes) 3/10

Makeruna! Makendou (OLM, 1995, completed) 1/10

Sotsugyou: Graduation (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 2/10

Lesson XX (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 3/10

Ruin Explorers (Ajia-Do, 1995, two episodes) 4/10



the bottom of this barrel is vast and spacious

Here's (almost) everything I still need to watch from 1995, for reference:

Shows:

Sailor Moon SuperS - Apparently, this is just season 4 of Sailor Moon. Why is it listed as a separate show on MAL? I'll get to Sailor Moon eventually, but I probably won't consider it a 1995 show.

Tenchi Universe - I need to watch the OVA, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, first.

Magic Knight Rayearth II - Obviously, I need to watch the first Magic Knight Rayearth.

The World's Most Famous Tales - Shitty anime adaptations of fairytales Disney already did perfectly. Might not bother.

H2 - Looks kinda interesting. It's about baseball, and I didn't know they played baseball in Japan.

El Hazard: The Wanderers - Already tried and didn't like The Magnificent World, so I'm not sure about this.

Wild Knights Gulkeeva
Jura Tripper
Bonobono
Bit the Cupid
Kuma no Puutarou
Yanbo Ninbo Tonbo
Nurse Angel Ririka SOS
Sorcerer Hunters
Saint Tail
Neighborhood Story
Mojacko
Touma Kishinden Oni

Some of this stuff is so obscure, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.

As for movies, we have:

Elementalors
Catnapped!
Tobe! Pegasus Kokoro no Goal ni Shoot
Tokai no Butchy
Whisper of the Heart***
Red Hawk: Weapon of Death
Kazu & Yasu Hero Tanjou
Memories***
Gotou ni Naritai.
Heong-geuli Beseuteu 5

*** = i'm looking forward to these

I'm only counting original movies that don't seem to be part of a larger franchise, so things like Legend of Crystania and any DBZ movie are excluded. Movies adapted from manga alone are fine, but in general, films that are based on shows just tend to feel like glorified episodes of that show, which is not at all what I'm looking for when it comes to film.

I won't bother posting the mountain of OVAs and specials I still need to sift through.

"Why don't you just watch things that you expect to enjoy" - question one of my weeb friends is always asking me

anime is the only medium where you can expect to hate everything you watch, if you just watch any old thing

whereas i can play pretty much any video game, no matter what it is, and find something to enjoy about it—and even then, you don't have to look very hard to find good stuff

the same applies to film, literature, and especially music (while there are some genres i strongly dislike, i can point to exceptions pretty much everywhere)

but it seems with anime, where everything is garbage, you're pretty much supposed to go into it having a perfect understanding of what you like, rather than being open about what you could end up liking, because otherwise, it's just too hard to find anything worth watching

and this is an art form that i'm supposed to take seriously

Sailor Moon (Toei, 1992, three episodes) The wonderful thing about shojo series is that they tend to have the coolest and most fleshed out female characters in the entire industry. So to that end, I respect Sailor Moon as a franchise quite a lot. Do I personally enjoy it, though? No, not particularly. Not just because it's for girls, but because none of the plot threads or themes are really resonating with me, and the bubbly aesthetic is threatening to give me diabetes. 5/10

Whisper of the Heart (Yoshifumi Kondō, Studio Ghibli, 1995) Yep, it's a Studio Ghibli film all right. Impossible to hate, yet also impossible to love or be thoroughly impressed with. It make sense how one of the more obscure Ghibli films is also one of the most middling, and I only like it less the more I think about it. 4/10

Mobile Suit Gundam (Sunrise, 1979, three episodes) The appeal of these stupid mecha shows may forever elude me. It's just a nonstop deluge of ridiculously dumb shit being battering rammed repeatedly and relentlessly into my fucking face. Anime at its anime-est. Fuck characters, fuck plot, let's just have mindless action scenes all the time. No thanks. 2/10

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (AIC, 1992, two episodes) Quite run-of-the-mill outside of the cool character designs. I don't know why I expected more. 4/10

Bonobono (Group TAC, 1995, three episodes) Sure, I can get behind stuff like this every now and again. It's for kids, but it reminds me a lot of Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes, in that there's a lot of stuff for adults to take away from it, too, making it wholesome, yet thoughtful. But both of those two comic strips are something I have personal attachments to, so I'm naturally going to gravitate towards them more on an emotional level. I'm also not gonna sit through 40+ episodes of it. But hey, whatever. I don't hate this. 6/10

H2 (Production Reed, 1995, three episodes) Paint drying. Ice melitng. Watching H2. The show is about baseball and is about as entertaining. Which is to say, not very. 3/10

The World's Most Famous Tales (Toei, 1995, two episodes) Just. Watch. Disney. These things do not need to exist in any capacity. 1/10

Magic Knight Rayearth (Tokyo Movie Shinsha, 1994, one episode) 4/10

Wild Knights Gulkeeva (Sunrise, 1995, one episode) 2/10

Jura Tripper (Ashi Productions, 1995, one episode) 2/10



I can't find streams for these shows anywhere:

Bit the Cupid
Kuma no Puutarou
Yanbo Ninbo Tonbo

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
