The Apothecary Diaries: Mandarage (2024) Season 1, Episode 20

Lack of emotional intelligence

[6/10 · 24 February 2024]

But honestly maomao risked her life and even got seriously injured to save jinshi . But I didn't see her receiving a single thank you or reward of appreciation. Infact she was even yelled at by jinshi's subordinate. After all that guess what , she is taken to the rear palace and begins testing food for poison for a concubine. As if she didn't just save the emperor's son life ( jinshi)

I like this anime but it's absurd how maomao's good deeds keep getting ignored e.g saving the ill emperor's concubine (Lihua), even finding poison in concubine Lishu's food, just to name a few. The things maomao has accomplished are quite grand yet she continues to be treated as a disposable servant without any appreciation

I like the anime but am pissed off .

Vermeil in Gold: A Desperate Magician Barges Into the Magical World Alongside the Strongest Calamity (2022)

Poorly executed

[5/10 · 16 November 2022]

The theme of this show had a potential to be really good but I have to say that it was poorly executed. The action scenes are quite disappointing and cheap , it's like all the main character knows is how to shoot ice , literally. The main is poorly developed and all he can show are his feelings which honestly feel forced. ( who told producers that the power of friendship wins battles)

This show might have had a low budget because it feels like they didn't have anyone who could draw decent action scenes. I feel the relationship between Alto and vermiel is forced like why is alto going to great lengths for her before even knowing anything about her.

Shinobi no Ittoki (2022)

Cringe main character

[4/10 · 15 November 2022]

This show had the main character literally forcing emotion , The main character acts emotional and shouts in certain scenes for example trying to show "shock". This might just be bad script writing for a show that could have had an interesting niche. ( why do some producers think the power of friendship can win battles ). This is just cringe. The main character is incompetent.

I'm tired of seeing the forced harem trope (done poorly). The characters are flat and simply uninteresting. But let me repeat this main character is lousy . It feels like bad voice acting/ script. I was interested when I watched the trailer but two episodes into the show and I knew I was done.

The Rising of the Shield Hero (2019– )

This series declined after season 1

[6/10 · 1 July 2022]

Season 1 was good but I must say this series went down the wrong path in season 2. The acting just feels empty for season 2. It's like they were just trying to give screen time to every single character. The series is meant to be a journey for the shield hero. But season 2 just keeps introducing new characters who the viewers have no attachment to.

The animation is okay but the fights lost how intense they were in season 1. For example the fight between shield hero and glass in season 1 was awesome. But season 2 makes glass look like some side extra .

Season 2 of the shield hero was disappointing.

Scissor Seven (2018– )

Funny amazing action and story

[8/10 · 13 March 2022]

Amazing world building, good character depth , the action scenes and music are amazing. The way this series shifts from comedy to badass action is exciting. I can't wait for season 4.

One Piece (1999– )

A true masterpiece

[9/10 · 26 February 2022]

This is the best anime in the world. Story, character development, action, emotional connection, this anime is a diamond. You only need to be patient in the beginning for about 60-70 episodes.

The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? (2020)

Boring and no depth, lacks emotional depth on characters

[3/10 · 26 February 2022]

Unrealistic over powered main character. This show does not connect with the view on an emotional level, no excitement , you can't even feel sad. It is just rushed.

Gate (2015–2016)

Lack of character depth

[6/10 · 26 February 2022]

This anime lacks character depth for example Itami is portrayed as a genius but throughout the show you never really feel like he deserves the attention. Honestly the show is all over the place. Though it is an interesting show. There lacks focus on emotions of the protagonists/ protagonist to the wars and situations.
