>>370256There's a reason why anime from black butler and hetalia, to jujutsu kaisen and haikyuu in the present are so popular with women, they feature conventionally attractive bishies which most female weebs are into. Golden kamuy is niche because most women aren't into ugly facial hair roided up receeding hairline men. You sound like a pickme right now.

NuMAL has the shittiest taste. You can see that new shounen and isekai anime get rated 8-9 even if they are 'been there, done that 1000 times', but anything unusual that airs these days gets mediocre ratings.

Season 3 is not so much "shit" (to me) but more complicated, your enjoyment is based on how interesting you find the main case and worldbuilding. I personally didnt enjoy s3 THAT much but I have a friend who thought s3 was even better than s1. I never watched the movie/ova that is supposed to be a sequel to s3 but apparently that gives a lot of info that was missing in the anime season which would have helped made it less confusing.

>>371046>>371052S3 butchers every character from the first season. It renders all that happened in S1 meaningless. It could be an entirely stand-alone story, with a new cast, but the writers just couldn't themselves and had to bait the audience with the previous characters, ruining them in the process. The story doesn't even fit the themes of Psycho Pass - it's just another 'cops chase the bad guys, mysteries abound' show, whereas S1 (and even S2) focused a lot on the system itself and the psychology of its actors. S3 just recycles the previous two seasons, without offering anything new. There was potential in how it tried to focus on immigration, but no new grounds were covered here either. What was the point of Karina again? Bifrost amounted to nothing. It seems like the writers just threw ideas at the wall, but had no clue how to handle them or weave them into the story. S1 and S2 were narratively tight - S3 is all over the place. Things happen…just because. Don't think too hard about it.

I can't believe fellow yumefujosisters are thirsting over the men in this. Please someone explain the appeal of this anime.

Thanks for the warning. Maybe I'm just too old for this.

>>372626>>372623>>372600Both shows have its strong and weak points, I prefer the Brotherhood version because it has an unironic happy ending while 2003's really depressed me. Personally what I dislike and like are…
2003 (Good)
>The more sombre tone, which is more is fitting for a show where a war is currently taking place.>Ed having a more realistic personality for someone who had been through so much trauma. Looking back, Brotherhood Ed was more of the typical shouneny hero.>Mustang being responsible for the Rockbell parents death. Really added more grey areas to Amestris's military (and story drama).>Lust getting more characterization other than "hawt evil woman">The war on Ishval having more nuanced reasons for starting (in FMA:B it was such an obvious Good Guys vs. Bad Guys scenario), as well as showing the consequences it has on the regular Ishavalans (them being harassed, their refugee situation)>Chopper being a legitimate threat than some funny comic relief>Ed not ending up with Winry. No hate to this ship or anything, but in FMA:B her entire characterization seemed to revolve around being his love interest.2003 (Bad)
>Whatever the fuck Conqueror of Shamballa was. >Hohenheim being an even worse father and having an ugly design.>Rose's rape. It was never shown, and it' supposed to show the reality regular women endure during war—but my God, it left a bad taste in my mouth>Dante as an antagonist was super lame.>How they massacred my smooth criminal Kimblee's character and gave him that awful hairstyle.>Alchemy's energy source coming from our world???????>The way homonculus came from dead people completely ruined the entire "seven deadly sins" theme>Trisha being sloth. Ruined the whole equivalent exchange theme, and kind of made Ed's whole moving on from your grief journey pointless.And some other stuff..

But then I prefer the Homunculi being made from humans too. It immediately makes them more relatable and tragic. Trisha/Sloth didn't have a lot of screentime but her simultaneously wanting to be her own person but being unable to help herself from caring for another child and ultimately being unable to kill her sons is pretty interesting stuff. Izumi's extra angst over her son and having to choose between him and her students/adoptive sons is powerful. There's a big emphasis on motherhood in 03 and Dante is a rejection of motherhood and nurturing in favor of complete self-obsession. She's not perfect but she's complimentary with the themes of 03.

>>374442>>374460That's not true. It's some dumb tabloid (I think Comicbook?) that spread that. It was just a generic interview where the interviewer called Loid landsome and then the author joked in the manner of "riajuus like him should explode".
>>374346I think SxF is a cute inoffensive series, but everything about Kaguya-sama and specifically Akasaka Aka pisses me off. He pretty much embodies so many things I hate. He's completely insufferable in the interviews. He loves to cite himself as "creative genius born into family of creatives" (his father was a producer and sales & marketing on old Enix games and never held any creative position, since then he was executive director of marketing and sales for American branch of Square Enix, vice director of overseas expansion of Capcom and lead of "East meets West" initiative (yes, he was in charge of DmC era of Capcom), COO of American branch of Level-5 (yes, he was in charge of the entire catastrophic Yokai Watch flop). But beyond his poor initiatives, he's obviously super wealthy. Aka was born into massive wealth and he acts like he's plucky underdog. His comedy lands well sometimes, but all of his "serious" arcs are incredibly cringy tangents about how we live in society and le dark side of business that only he's privy to, but at the same time half-assedly excusing it and featuring creepy-ass pedophilia, grooming and incest. He monetized Hana Kimura's death without even asking permission from her family and had gall to release it on her death's anniversary for clicks, and then completely ignored it when his rabid fanbase and media tore Hana's mother into bits. And his art is fucking awful, really wish Mengo wasn't on OnK to bait zoomers into it and allowing him to have reach beyond Kaguya redditors.

It has 1 episode about human trafficking (I think?? its been years) but its related to the plot/characters. Also very gay not sure if you're into that or not.
>Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu 7.44Cutest show about an idolfag loving her underground female oshi. I loved the mc so much and in general the show was just very funny.
>Bishounen TanteidanSHAFTs attempt at Ouran. (Just kidding. Maybe.) Its less silly jokes & romance and more mysteries within the school, accompanied by SHAFT's beautiful direction and an very catchy OP. I personally enjoyed it but a lot of people I speak to found it boring. It wasn't a life-changing show but it was still a good watch! There are lolicon jokes about one of the club members and another one is blatant shotabait so again, depends on your tolerant levels
>Akudama Drive 7.59I'm surprised by this rating because this show is so good. Made by the danganronpa creator if you couldn't tell from the promo pic but I strongly recommend this one, I'm genuinely shocked at the lower rating.
>Healer Girl 7.35CGDCT, they sing people to good health. Very comfy and very low moidbait. One of those shows I wish I could teleport into to live in their world
>Koukyuu no Karasu 7.53After watching Apothecary this one seems like a worse version kek but they're similar in their setting and being about mysterious happenings within the court. But this time the MC is a consort with mysterious powers and she basically gets left alone in a corner of the palace until she has to solve a bunch of mysteries
>Nami yo Kiitekure 7.36Part-timer finds a job as late night radio host, I dont remember much about the story but I remember really loving the mc. She was a hilarious hot mess and I thought it was rare to see main characters like her
>Sugar Apple Fairy Tale 7.46Reminiscent of old school shoujo. World where fairies are slaves to humans and the mc's goal is to become the master of making sweets, the whole show is about her journey to become officially recognized alongside her fairy companions. Lots of pretty boys. Quite trope-y but I didnt find it obnoxious.

>>376150Yeah Monogatari has terrible fetish scenes, i consider it even worse than the most dumb ecchi serieses because it's even more blatant with the loli obsession and it's so off-putting.
The animation and style is actually pretty i can admit it but i had to watch like 3 seasons of it back then because my (female) friends somehow thought it was a cool anime and told me i should cosplay Hanekawa kek, i really tried but i honestly regret watching it.
There are some interesting characters (in the end i did like Hanekawa after all), story progressions and music but honestly it's not worth it for all that disgusting fetishism, if you want something "deep" or pretty it's better to look somewhere else.
As far as i've experienced Monogatari is just a pernrotted harem series that tries to have a oh so deep story sometimes also let me a-log real quick but there is something so disgusting about being a harem series with more than one loli, at least some shows have the "decency" of limiting to one or making their own loli show because not every sweaty otaku is a lolicon fanatic yet.
If the new season is somehow better i don't recommend watching the older ones at all.

I personally enjoyed it because I'm used to that shit in anime but I honestly find it hard to recommend to others especially other women, the loli shit is really offputting for example and they should've just had cute loli girls without sexualizing them, but since it's scrote aimed of course they had to make it sexual. their designs are cute so it would've been fine if they weren't constantly sexualized. the toothbrush shit is retarded too and is from the worst season of the series (nisemonogatari).
>>376318I knew so many moids who hated her when her arc is actually pretty good and my favorite part of the series. all about a flawed girl letting go of her shame and the feeling of having to be cute and harmless with no agency of her own. her development as a character in general is pretty good and it's also funny seeing moids seethe at her new short hair design when it's perfectly alligned with the way her character changes.

I can see it but I honestly still enjoyed the dialogue, I don't consider it actually deep at all but it was still entertaining so it's more so the excessive fanservice for the girls that bothered me. For the actual writing it feels like you either vibe with it or you don't and find it annoying and pretentious, one of my friends disliked it for the same reasons. Also that image reminded me they did "fanservice" shots of araragi sometimes too, I'd honestly dislike the fanservice less if they had objectified him and the other male characters to the same degree as the female ones, like it'd still be bad but at least it wouldn't feel so one sided.

their entire internships, i.e. the beginning of their experience as actual C-healers crammed into half of an episode was kinda bullshit.
They should have dedicated a whole episode to the internships, then end the episode in a dramatic cliffhanger with the phone messages, then have at least half an episode of them helping with the fire before they help the girl on the plane and end the series with the three minute song sequence. It's weird because that bit with the phone message really felt like it was meant to be a cliffhanger between episodes.At first I found Reimi's obsession with their teacher lady kinda icky, but it ended up growing on me and I started to find it cute.

Isn't the Bocchi movie a recap thing? I wasn't a huge fan of the anime, felt honestly overhyped and like people just latched onto it because "Bocchi is so me" or whatever.

>>376584I consider these red flags on men only for the most part, unless the women are pick mes and act like if you dislike any of the bad parts you're a prude or something and not a cool girl like them. Another one I would add is if they're a man and really into yuri, in my experience a lot of them end up trooning out and saying gross fetish stuff about lesbians

>>376627They always have to insert their fetishes into everything unfortunately. It's the same reason they lash out when a website bans porn or has rules on nsfw in general, they HAVE to coom everywhere, all the time. The anime fandom is a cesspool when it comes to shows with male fanbases because of this too, even if the show is harmless or doesn't have any nsfw the entire discussions and fanart around it will always be 90% coom material.
>>376614most of them definitely coom to the pedo aspects of it, they'll tell you otherwise but in general moids can't be trusted with being able to enjoy something without making it sexual or actively loving it
because of the bad parts of it

>>376690>focus on romance and relationshipsAnd most of them taking place at school too. Fuck that shit. I don't want to remember high school. I can't understand being nostalgic about your high school years. It's all the same crap with shoujo/josei romance - if it isn't school, it's office or beyond retarded wish-fulfilment, like
Net-juu no susume.

>>376794Nta but super powers and fights are like the whole point of fiction because it can never happen irl, so it's fun to consume in media. Romance is so basic and boring, and not everyone actually wants to be in a romantic relationship, so they aren't interested in watching/reading mundane stories about romance. I watched a shoujo anime once because it's a musical anime and it did have great music but the drama was so fucking cringy, I couldn't take the romance and the characters' feelings seriously at all. They were so juvenile, and tbf they're just highschoolers but they were so annoying. The only characters I liked were side ones, too who don't get much screen time kek. The main romance is between a girl and 2 guys fighting over her, one is creepy and possessive about her but it's ok because he's a shouta or something, the other kept pushing her away and trying to distance himself from her but it's ok because his mom is
abusive and forces him to do that or something. I like the second guy more though, he eventually squares up and tells her the truth and apologizes iirc, while the other annoying guy doesn't, and she ends up with the one I tolerate more kek. Never read the manga though and got the ending spoiled, but there isn't anything worth reading it for anyways.

Dude's writing is just overall overrated and highly derivative but I get what some women see in Madoka. Liking his stuff is fine– but thinking he's the best writer ever for realsies? Usually means you're a retard
>>376815Valid tbh bc Kogami fanservice shots were the only thing of value in that anime. Pretty sure the animators and Akira Amano are the ones to thank for that though, not some edgelord pushing 50

Words can not describe how disappointed I am in The Fable anime adaptation. It's funny how bad it is but all funny in the wrong way. Such a tragedy. It's like they sent the manga pages to a foreign anime sweatshop and machine translated it for a one-time group slideshow presentation and the animation team were shown that and worked off it to develop the show. Something must have gone horribly wrong for this to be what they got out of the manga lmao, I swear whoever made it has no interest in the source material. Do I blame Kodansha or Disney for this??

>>377155The fourth episode was really good. They didn't mess up the Youko bar scene. Maybe it will get better with time. The ending theme is growing on me.
If I hadn't read the manga I would have dropped it after one episode though, because the way they animated it was so lifeless.
