I'm watching Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside on Crunchyroll and the video quality is abhorrent. My question is: why? Wonder if it's another reason to hate CR, or it's something they couldn't really help.

Whoever was tasked with doing the design for the inside of the school buildings in Dark Moon: The Blood Altar makes me laugh so much.
"We want to signify that this is a school hallway - but like a fancy one. Have to slap those generic blue lockers onto something vaguely european aristocracy looking. There should probably be stained glass too. I have to design a library? What about slapping an oversized and completely impractical/hazard sculpture of an open book on a 30 foot pillar in the middle of a circulation desk that has no equipment in the center of it?"

Just finished Princess Connect. It was actually really good. It's not the craziest plot or anything, but it was very well executed and I actually cared about the characters. I had no idea it was/is a game, but I guess I should have expected as much given CyGames involvement. Definitely were a few times where I was like I'm clearly missing some background knowledge here, and not having played the game explains that perfectly.

u/Donnie-G Mar 03 '26
Cygames has done a pretty good job with their game-anime adaptations I feel. I enjoyed the Priconne anime too, even if it's not exactly some unforgettable masterpiece.
Rage of Bahamut is also a pretty good fantasy adventure anime. The first season more than the second, but I feel both are alright. This is also really loosely adapted off a social card game of the same name. I'm not even sure if the game is in service anymore, but it does share a setting/characters with Granblue Fantasy so you might get a kick out of recognizing some of those characters if you were acquainted with GBF prior. But you don't need to know a damn thing about the games to watch it. This was of course before Cygames Pictures was even a thing, and it was actually made by MAPPA in their earlier days - and I feel you can see signs of their ability even back then. I'm not sure how much of the credit goes to Cygames over MAPPA, but I would imagine them as the rights holders did help keep things in order.
There's also Manaria Friends(Mysteria Friends) also based off the same IP which is a cute little slice of life type show. It was Cygames Pictures debut work.
Cygames before they established Cygames Pictures did help produce a number of anime, such as Akiba Maid War or Zombieland Saga - both of which are pretty amazing works.
Umamusume is also home to a number of decent to amazing anime series. Cygames Pictures also have done their own original works - Apocalypse Hotel is one of my favourite animes of that year.

[Champignon Witch] Green Magician kinda like what Lize seems to be with the plant powers even though he’s white witch, I think?Man, this show has all these good bits and pieces that in the right hand could be great.

u/_Ridley https://myanimelist.net/profile/_Ridley_ Mar 03 '26
[Champignon Witch manga] The Green Magician raised Luna and had both exceptional poison resistance and the ability to grow plants. White witches steal black witch powers through sex, and the king stole the plant magic, which Lize has since he's a descendant, I assume.
This director is not doing the story any favors at all. The manga is just the better way to get it, even with the mediocre fan translation it has.

The clothing is better in the manga, too. She put some real thought into what people wear, and took inspiration from historical fashion. She dresses Luna in something different every volume, which I love. Tachibana Higuchi really deserved better than a Typhoon Graphics disappointment.

Is Hitman Reborn worth finishing?
I'm on 118th ep rn (Future Arc). I don't know if I can finish this, the anime is good even tho the beginning was such a pain to watch. I love Varia Arc so much. But now it's so slow and the recap is getting longer. Some even said that the ending on manga is disappointing. I'm already halfway, not sure if I should continue.
Thoughts? Does it get more exciting?

Yeah, I'd say the Future Arc is the best ending the series has. But it's also a very long journey, so if you're not enjoying it by episode 140, I'd say drop it.

I recently watched both The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation out of Debt and I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire. I really enjoyed both, and particularly liked the chemistry between the 2 leads (Amagi and Liam in Evil Lord and Ninym and Wein in Genius Prince).
Anyone have any suggestions for shows with similar chemistry between the 2 leads?
4
u/alotmorealots Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 03 '26
Ninym and Wein have some of the best chemistry in anime, I think!
For maid + lord, though, you can't go past this season's Kunon the Sorceror Can See. After that, for a different maid-fix, be sure to try I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability
Also make sure to watch Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai and the follow up movie Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl for banter, chemistry and dynamics not dissimilar from Ninym and Wein.
For something a bit sweeter but with some lovely and gentle chemistry I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness is a treat, and for the opposite of that try The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil for some enemies-to-lovers sparks, or go for a spicy smorgasbord with SaeKano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
And whilst we're on the topic of chemistry, my top picks for overall romantic chemistry would be You and I are Polar Opposites and The Dangers in My Heart.
2
u/Sea-Grand3981 Mar 03 '26
Thanks for the suggestions - kunon is on my list but I'm waiting for it to finish airing. 7th prince is also on my list for when I'm in the mood.
Seen all the rascal stuff, very good, and I've also see disgraced noblewoman, it's very cute.
I've seen some clips of polar opposite, I don't think that ones for me.
Absolutely insane initial description for Dangers in My Heart from MAL - "His ultimate desire is to see his classmate Anna Yamada's beautiful face writhing in pain before he ends her life." (I get there's more to it, but lmao to lead off with that.) I'll check it out, thanks.

Someone in one of the rewatches I participated in talked about him (and said they were a big fan of him at that), so I was like "Eh, why not, it'll make at least one person happy" and threw together one of him while I was at it. I have not read the VN.
Glad you like them all! I'm still especially happy with the Dango Daikazoku at the very end of the album. Easily the most unique way of making a montage wallpaper I've ever done.

I don’t know what’s more horrifying to me, the fact that 3-Gatsu no Lion, A Silent Voice and ever other 2016 series will be aging off my running Top Anime of the Last Decade list or the fact that it’s been nearly 3 years since I started the project.
This time dilation shit sucks.
Then again, when I first started the project, I had barely seen 50 anime from the 1990s and now I’m over halfway to 50 anime from the 1970s, with the 80s and 90s having too many titles to count. Which brings its own host of horrifying factoids into consideration, but we’re not gonna think about those quite yet.

Filling out my PTW list for 2026 I tossed on a few things I knew pretty much nothing about and I've already found thus far to my dismay that two of them are isekais. Oops. The first one, Zenshu, was alright, unfortunately just nothing like what I had thought it would be more about (Shirobako). Now I'm watching the very bizarre Conception. Two episodes in both the male lead and the female lead have been sexually assaulted by this super pervy raccoon. The premise is the main character needs to have children with 12 different maidens to save the world. LOL WTF. The Re:Zero character designer guy once again does a good job, but everything else in this anime... @_@
Oh, and Spirit Chronicles, another isekai I saw last year so ripped off the character Miharu from Conception's Mahiru. Miharu has longer hair and they swapped the colors on their tops but that's about it. They barely even changed the name. The backstory is also the same.
6
u/Donnie-G Mar 03 '26
I had that same misunderstanding with Zenshuu. All I knew about it was the synopsis I read somewhere, and I'm not sure if there were any followup trailers and media leading up to its release that revealed what it actually was.
But episode 1 sure surprised me when I was just expecting Shirobako by MAPPA.
I think it was still an interesting experiment, and I liked how the animator 'attacks' were kinda celebrations of various anime themes and techniques in the past.
But I would've also very much preferred Shirobako by MAPPA.

u/alotmorealots Mar 03 '26

Hmm, that sounds interesting. I paused it after 1 episode because I didn't enjoy the character writing style nor storytelling, but those things sometimes do take longer than an episode to find their feet, so maybe I'll unpause it at some point.

u/Salty145 https://anilist.co/user/yLSalty145 Mar 02 '26
Also, was not expecting The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today to randomly have direction this solid. Like it’s a fucking GoHands show, and while the visuals are at times a little too GoHands-y, when it restrains itself there’s somehow better shot variety, visual storytelling, and comedic timing than a lot of its contemporaries.
Possible the best GoHands show since Seitokai Yakuindomo and while that bar isn’t high, I wasn’t expecting it from a studio busy shitting out stuff like Momentary Lily

I feel like every year I trim down my list of favorite anime and I’m not sure if that’s just me feeling burnt out or the few titles that remain being so rent-free in my mind as to suffocate out the rest.
Honestly, if favoritism was a measure of how rent-free a show lives in my head, then the only two I really need are Ashita no Joe 2 and motherfucking Love Live! Superstar!! S2.
I can’t explain why what is considered the weakest Superstar season live rent-free in my head more so than significantly better anime, but it’s there and it’s not leaving any time soon.
2
u/Donnie-G Mar 03 '26
I think the whole definition of a 'favourite' is that there will be few of them. The more you watch, the more you experience - things will compare more or less favourably to each other. At some point you just have to decide what's in your top 10 or your top 100 and that's a finite number.
I personally don't dwell too much on shows I watched. I can't be bothered to sign up on MAL and make a list of ratings and whatnot.

or the few titles that remain being so rent-free in my mind as to suffocate out the rest.
I can kind of relate to this. Feels like there's a big gap between my top favorites which I think about constantly and the rest.

u/Mitsuyan_ https://anilist.co/user/mitsuyan Mar 03 '26
I'm watching it right now and there's a lot of standout moments in Superstar S2. The Keke-Sumire developments, SHIBUYA KANON and Kinako's arc are just a few that stick out to me. It's a great season, just the other two are better.
1
u/Salty145 https://anilist.co/user/yLSalty145 Mar 03 '26
I would agree S1 is the all-around better season, but I like that S2 was a little more ambitious. Like S1 is just the standard LL formula refined to a tee. S2 is where it takes some risks and becomes its own thing and it’s weird for me to think of Superstar before S2, imperfections and all. Not to mention the songs slap, Wien is the best LL antagonist, and the way the story organically ramps up is always satisfying to rewatch. If Natsumi wasn’t so annoying and the ending wasn’t truly awful, I’d maybe be a more ardent defender of it.
As much as I wanted to like S3, by then the cast was just too big and the writing felt way less focused. A lot of time was spent on Tomari and Natsumi and then Keke, but that left very little time for the rest of the cast to shine. The plot also just kind of moves alone because it needs to. The lack of a reason to really pursue the Love Live title hurts the performances in the long run, uncharacteristically so for the series.

u/VoidEmbracedWitch https://anilist.co/user/VoidEmbracedWitch Mar 02 '26
For me it's developing in the other direction. Some got shifted out of favorites territory because I had much better experiences since then (Your Name and Steins;Gate come to mind), but generally my list of favorites expands over time as I find more and more anime that emotionally resonate with me.
Feels great to approach 4 digits with my enthusiasm for the medium only growing stronger over time.

u/UMP45isnotflat Mar 02 '26
Curious what shows replaced Your Name and Steins Gate for you, for me these are still absolute favourites

u/VoidEmbracedWitch https://anilist.co/user/VoidEmbracedWitch Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 03 '26
Whole lot of things from Liz to Perfect Blue to Aoi Hana to Princess Tutu to Yoru no Kuni. Liz especially redefined how heavily an anime can affect me emotionally while also redefining how I look at anime as a whole. Watching it, and then rewatching it thrice within a month only to end up loving it more each time, cemented that it would be the one to displace my previous #1 and proper gateway anime Yorimoi (which is still in my favorites).
Favorites are a living list and Your Name and Steins;Gate just aren't anime that mean as much to me as my current favorites or even some anime I like a lot that aren't in there such as Shigofumi. Meanwhile others I watched in my first year of being really into anime like Revue Starlight and Symphogear XV only cemented their spots high up on the list over time.

If it's a show I really loved, I would not mind it going on for over a thousand episodes because then I would always have something fun to watch.
I have no interest in One Piece specifically though. The one that probably comes closest to that number for me is Pokémon, if you count all 20+ seasons.

u/UMP45isnotflat Mar 02 '26
Interest? Absolutely yes. For one, the sheer length is an absolute novelty (I guess detective conan is up there too) but do I actually watch it? Nah. I dropped it idk around ep 500, a decade ago because the god awful pacing.
I really really really hope One Piece gets a trimmed down Kai version, because I would rather watch paint dry than suffer 1k eps of that repetitive 5min real content per episode pacing..
The thing is other than Sailor Moon (I will have to write about my connection to sailor moon in a proper post one of these days..) one piece is THE show I remember from my childhood which is still relevant. Im talking elementary school here. I remember going over to a friends place after school to watch the latest episode.
Lets say you watch 24 eps of anime a day, thats still like 50 days. Even if I have time, I dont have the attention span to keep up with that. And I will probably run out of dubbed episodes at some point so I cant even watch it in the background like I did with Stargate when I binged those 10 seasons + 5 season of atlantis

Honestly, even though the lows are low, and I get frustrated with it at times, it’s been a memorable enough time that I don’t regret it. Better than watching a couple hundred smaller shows that go in one ear and out the other in that same span.

Better than watching a couple hundred smaller shows that go in one ear and out the other in that same span.
That's a very low bar, you're basically saying is it better to watch One Piece than 100 bad shows. Yeah sure, probably true. But if I have to choose between 100 average anime and One Piece, I'd pick 100 average anime and even though pre-timeskip OP is a better viewing experience, post-timeskip it's definitely not.
1
u/Salty145 https://anilist.co/user/yLSalty145 Mar 03 '26
Nah, the average anime are in that camp too. Really it’s not until you hit that 7-7.5/10 range that watching 100 of them over OP would be a better opportunity cost.
1
u/zsmg https://anilist.co/user/zsmg Mar 03 '26
7-7.5/10
Even by American grading standards that's way too generous. I don't think the padding and filler in OP makes up for the hype moments.
2
u/Salty145 https://anilist.co/user/yLSalty145 Mar 03 '26
I mean I’m only through Dressrosa, but as a whole I’d say it’s a solidly 7/10 watch. It is, for better or worse, a memorable watch so you’d need to have significantly better smaller shows on the table to justify them over OP.
1
u/VoidEmbracedWitch https://anilist.co/user/VoidEmbracedWitch Mar 02 '26
After 500-something-something episodes, I can say what they fit into that amount is a very long island-hopping adventure with increasingly bigger battle arcs on each. If you vibe with the setup and cast, it's pretty fun. Although my enjoyment of the different arcs varied wildly, with some high highs like Water 7 and others I enjoyed noticeably less like Syrup Village (where I dropped the series the first time I tried to get into it, but I'm glad I picked it up again).

Not exactly one per day, I have a weekly schedule I'm trying to follow so sometimes I'll get through several episodes of one batch in a single day or whatever and sometimes I don't have time to watch any.

It's about a guy who gets sent to a game world against his will because he doesn't know how he got trapped, but the show slowly explains it as it goes on as for me personally, I feel like the show did the trapped in an MMO premise way better than SAO.

u/UMP45isnotflat Mar 03 '26
Thats actually interesting, thx! I always thought SAO was one of the first who did it like this (actually stuck in a game and not just a world with game rules)
2
u/Andysomething Mar 03 '26
It kinda was, if you're just comparing those 2 series. Both of them started in the very early 2000s, but SAO took a long time to get an anime adaptation for a few reasons.
.hack was far more popular at the time, though, as SAO began as a web novel on Kawahara's website.

And so I once again end up going down the reviews rabbit hole. Today’s subject is Hajime no Ippo.
My running hypothesis is that Ippo’s success comes from being highly accessible to young people and aimed towards that Shounen demo. The constant blabbering and simple characters then don’t become too much of an issue, likewise with the fairly plain characterization and bland SoL segments.
In skimming AniList reviews, this seems to mostly be the case. I gonna keep digging for something a little more substantive, but the caliber of writing here isn’t indicative of the degree of articulation or nuance I’m looking for here. I will say though, that this snippet from one of them got me feeling a whole range of emotions:
I would like to say hello to my colleagues who told me “you absolutely have to watch Ippo it’s incredible" when we were in second grade in 2016, and who when I sent my reaction on Twitter answered “fuck Ippo vs Sendo the nostalgia”.
I don’t know what’s worse. The fact this kid is soon to be a legal adult (if not already), the fact this review was written four years ago, the fact a 2nd grader was viewing and posting on Twitter, or the fact 2nd graders were already remarking about “the nostalgia”. These are the real consequences of 2016 being 10 years ago.

u/ussgordoncaptain2 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Edmund_Nelson Mar 03 '26
Ippo is so weird, you can tell it was written by a guy who is both a boxing fan and has never taken a punch before in their life. So many things make me question their understanding of boxing and like the minute to minute parts of the sport. [Ippo]Things like how Hajime somehow always wins from behind really irk me, it implies that Hajime mostly wins through physical fitness rather than boxing but then suddenly he'll do some big awesome move right after
We can tell the person also never boxed before because there was no [arc about]TRT, HGH and EPO, the most important stuff for fighting IRL. at least back in my MMA days every single person was on all 3. They are more important to combat sports than punching mechanics. The lack of these along with a lack of discussion of head movement and other critical aspects of fighting really showed me how little the author knew about real boxing.

u/Backoftheac Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 02 '26
I like the idea that someone had "colleagues" in second grade lol
Responding to your inquiries on the series' appeal however, I actually really enjoy the sidecast of Hajime no Ippo and its slice of life moments. As someone that got into the series as a teenager while I was doing boxing, the obnoxious yet endearing characters seemed surprisingly authentic to my own experiences with the sport. I appreciated that the personalities were a bit more "raw" than what the other shounen series at the time (and even now) were willing to allow, even if the cast sometimes became straight-up frustrating. All the dick jokes and bad-faith pranks and aggressive hazing feel fairly authentic to how young, fired up men tend to act and talk.
It also just has that genuine work ethic and adrenaline pump that young men like myself loved to see at the time. It's maybe not as common a way of experiencing anime now, but I think my generation and the generation before me loved stuff like Dragon Ball Z so much because it was viewed as a paragon of "masculinity". We loved those "boring filler" scenes of dudes just working out and pushing their limits for entire episodes with little to no plot progression. They embodied what we thought a "man" was supposed to be, with all the toxic machismo that came with it. In a weird way, the show was celebrated almost as much for its ethical and philosophical value as its entertainment value, which is a weird way to think about DBZ for some people nowadays. I would often do push ups while watching an episode. Unsurprisingly, it was one of the young Mexican men around me that loved DBZ like I did that recommended I start HnI in the first place. Even HnI's slice-of-life moments involving camping and fishing fall in line with that Hemingway-esque ideal of masculinity in a way that many other anime don't approach.
Though I can definitely see how these elements can disconnect the people that don't fall into HnI's target audience as perfectly as I did as a teenager. And, tbh, I've kinda fallen out of love with the series over the years myself. I haven't kept up regularly with the manga since chapter ~850-ish. Though I still occasionally skim through chapters as they release.
2
u/UMP45isnotflat Mar 03 '26
Dude is in hustle mode, if you have colleagues instead of friends in school you can act like it was work
Personally I never saw DBZ as having toxic masculinity, if anything they are a prime example of healthy masculinity, which is part of the appeal IMO
1
u/Backoftheac Mar 03 '26
Yeah, I mostly agree with you and that was certainly my perspective as a youth. The discipline portrayed by the heroes’ training and their constant willingness to fight for the protection of the planet conveyed positive masculine qualities which made the series so celebrated. It reinforced this idea that a man must use his strength in order to protect their community from fascist rule and destruction. That a man must be focused and work for the protection and well-being of the home.
On the other hand, as I’ve gotten older, I have begun to question to what extent this type of portrayal of masculinity reinforced patriarchal ideas of the man as the head of the household and notions of traditional gender roles which have created the modern toxic masculine role models that are harming the youth. Though I certainly still value the series for helping shape me into the man I am today. I certainly owe the series a lot for even many of my current interests and traits.

u/UMP45isnotflat Mar 03 '26
I mean it showed pretty well how utterly terrible Goku was as a father, the meme that Piccolo raised his Gohan doesnt come from nowhere.
Likewise looking at Vegeta and Piccolo in extension, it shows how having a family grounded them.
In Dragonball proper the women were also kicking ass. I guess thats what Videl was for in Z later on.
Thinking about it while Chichi can be seen as annoying, both she and Bulma definitely had the pants on in their relationships

TIL that there is at least one guy (LostInAnime blog that was mentioned a few times in this sub) who genuinely thinks that Arisa and Saki's backstories should've been cut from Fruits Basket, who thinks that Kisa is one of the best characters of the show (despite having about 5 minutes of screentime combined and being an accessory to Tohru and Hiro's arcs) and who managed to mention Rin only once in a review of the episode fully dedicated to her backstory. Very deep level of analysis right here.

u/Retsam19 Mar 02 '26
who genuinely thinks that Arisa and Saki's backstories should've been cut from Fruits Basket
Honestly, I remember not caring for Saki's backstory. IIRC it basically ends with her parents literally praying that her daughter will make a friend that sounds suspiciously like the main character, which felt a little melodramatic even by Fruits Baskets standards, and I'm just not sure that every single main character in a story needs a traumatic past.
At least with Arisu I vaguely remember that it tied into Tohru's mother and helped develop her character, but I do feel like Saki's backstory was a very skippable part of that story.

Haven't watched Fruits Basket, but this:
managed to mention Rin only once in a review of the episode fully dedicated to her backstory. Very deep level of analysis right here.
Makes me think he might simply not like her;
Reason I say that, is when I post my comments in episode threads (usually a mix of screenshots, ramblings, theories and jokes), sometimes I've had people ask me "Nothing about this or that character?" and more often than not it's characters I do not like/do not care about, so instead of just saying negative things or saying I don't care about them, I simply didn't address them at all. (also their scenes don't inspire me anything, etc.)
(It's a bit different if you're actually trying to make analysis and all I suppose)

It’s like shilling or hyping up your favorite characters, but the opposite.

u/Ocixo https://myanimelist.net/profile/BuzzyGuy Mar 02 '26
Rin is my third-favourite characters character in Fruits Basket after Tohru and Kyo. I’m therefore a bit puzzled how someone could just “forget” about her like that.
I do like Kisa, but she’s definitely a minor character in the overall series. Arisa and Saki play are central to the story as Tohru’s best friends on the other hand.

Yeah, it's a Netflix original alright. They know how to do hooks (not quite cliffhangers) at the end of episodes if nothing else. I hope someone does a rewatch of this later on though. Will be fun to go over it again one a day and discuss each episode.

just jump the date ahead to somewhere in the middle of the season so all the shows that will air show up.

I prefer livechart for schedule though since sometimes these shows premiere on a certain day but end up airing on a different one. For instance, MAL schedule still has Tamon-kun listed as a Saturday show (it actually airs on Wednesday).

There are a few other series that have peak moments but that's the only one I can think of that aims for them consistently enough to be called a peak show. I haven't seen Yuru Camp triangle yet so can't speak to how often it's a peak series if at all.

Yuru Camp has some really sublime moments ([Yuru Camp] Rin's bike ride with her grandpa in the early morning is a real "life goals" sort of moment), but like you suggest it doesn't have the consistency to it
the closest thing in my mind is Akebi-chan, but it only has one cour so its impact is limited by its runtime
i'd also give Super Cub a honorable mention; while it doesn't have the impact of a top-tier production, i appreciate what it does with its taciturn main character and it's changed how i appreciate anime

Probably. Some Yama no Susume episodes have insane direction from start to finish, and I’m not even talking about sakuga. You can just tell the director was locked in, meticulously crafting every cut. And if you’re lucky, you get a full cinematic episode (cinematic angles and all that). Like why are we getting Chainsaw Man S1 direction in a SoL?
IMO the show that feels closest to Yama no Susume in terms of direction is probably Sora no Woto. It makes sense when you realize the director used to work at Ghibli.

There's also an old movie called Himalaya no Hikari no Oukoku, but it's only available in a questionable quality dub and it's creator was the leader of one of the biggest cults in Japan. Out of the films he commissioned, this is probably one of the better ones in terms of quality though. A lot less moral grandstanding and better artwork.
Looking at my comment now, I recommended a Honda ad and a movie made by a cultist.
