Im not gonna lie When I saw girlfriend-girlfriend my first thought was “oh my god! Japan ACTUALLY let an explicitly wlw anime be made and put on Muse Asia???” Then I clicked on the first episode and cursed myself for being that naive
Girlfriend Girlfriend seems like the diet version of 100 Girlfriends, a manga that feels like it's probably going to be getting an anime some time soon but hasn't been announced yet. I should probably give it a full chance but I don't know if my self-image can handle me enjoying two of those.
genuinely interested in battle in 5 seconds. anime is so much more fun when the protag is clinical. it would also be cool if he grew to genuinely like the murderwaifu. also, would love to hear you talk about fairy ranmaru. that show is one big weird fetish exhibition.
Well you convinced me to go check out 'Odd Taxi's, thinking I'll see what it's about but doubt I'll like it or watch the entire season. Couldn't have been more wrong. I'm about half way done with it and I love it.
I have the most love/hate relationship (ha!) with kanojo mo kanojo as it has a LOT of good polyamorous moments but then lets the third girl take way too much screen time and just drags down what was almost a wonderful story of how relationships like that can develop. The manga is the same - a few chapters of heartwarming moments and growth will happen and then third girl runs in and tries to kidnap the MC and is just a trash human being....again. That said, I am still watching it to enjoy the good moments. It gives the idea of poly relationships far more respect than almost any other manga or anime has, and seeing the moments between Saki and Nagisa is just too precious.
agreed. it is kinda sad THIS is the closest we have ever gotten to a polyamoruous anime that actually showcases the poly relationship in a way all parties win. especially how earlier on, in the first episodes, to me, Saki legit felt like the protagonist starting to accept being in love with naoya and minase
@@ibrahimabdullahi3077 If anything, that could also be part of her character arc of loving both, as a way to go full into the comedy. A harem romcom that somehow is also yuri. So many levels of trash that it would end up going back into somehow that is beautifully crazy
If "knock-up" isn't a perfect example of why Japan needs to cool it with the random Engrish, I don't know what is. There can only be so many United States of SMASH
"It gets two big yellow biohazard bins full of an unidentified ooze that will not burn no matter WHAT we try, yet is also constantly emitting smoke" is the most hilarious rating in any of these videos so far
And yet for some reason, this is the only show I actively find myself enjoying this season. Hmm, nah, it can't be for what I think it is, just naahhh...
@@alphacat77 I haven't played the game, so I don't know if that's actually good advice from the game based on her stats or whatever. But if I were making a Konosuba game, I would have the game constantly suggest you use Aqua as a joke. Like, she'd have the highest in all stats like she does in the anime, except that her meme stat (luck) is the lowest, so it never works out.
I actually kinda like the writing in their ads, though. At least the ones focusing on the characters. Never played the game, but every ad with them is really good the first time I watch it. Deathknight is a bog-standard worthless starter unit and everyone knows it, so this gives him a nice underdog/outcast character archetype. I wanted him to get swole in that training montage ad he gets. I know Raid's ad team became notoriously good for indiscriminate bombardment, but now that their name's definitely out there, they're continuing to adapt and improve. I still don't care about the game, but I kinda think they got a glow-up. So for sure an anime adaptation is doomed to poorer writing than the sauce and would 100% be fit for this list
@@ragnarokminstrel If they did an anime of Raid, the only way to make it watchable would be to just put the advertising department's creative team in charge.
@@waffle911 or internet historian, that man is the only person who has actually made me want to play raid...and I'm not normally into those types of games

Detective is dead ep 1 in a nutshell: "The writer gives me all the answers right away, and your life is boring without me so I'm gonna force myself into it no matter what you say. Aren't I soooooo cute and very deadpan???"
I'm 100% convinced that the creator of Girlfriend Girlfriend has the series take place in the same world as Aho Girl, seeing how the collective intelligence of every character is woefully low and steadily decreases as time passes. I know they're the creator of both series, and all this one really needs is a single easter egg to establish a connection and I'll totally believe it.
"Why does my shirt say that? I sound like a psychopath? Nah, babe I swear it's not meant to be edgy or anything! You see there's this youtuber- an anime youtuber right? and it's actually a joke about a badly written social commentary for domestic abuse and I swear it's really funny when you know the context--!" ... "Where are you going?"
I'd be down for a trash recap of the previous season. As much as I prefer your in-depth analyses of anime, it's also just fun hearing you talk about garbage
I expected Girlfriend Girlfriend to just be terrible, but it's actually really funny. I particularly love Saki Saki's writing and voice actor. I don't care for the MC much, but aside from that its a genuinely good watch.
Its at least the most honest harem anime, where the guy is actually trying to handle the logistics of having a harem. Its doing it poorly in how each girl is so complicit instead of actively competitive. But its actually trying to make an harem actually function. The trying is the important part because in most cases of this genre, the dude is doing NOTHING and the harem still maintains itself somehow.
See I think the best part of Girlfriend Girlfriend for me is that Saki feels more like the main character, or at least is on equal footing with Naoya. I agree completely that Saki's VA does some amazing work here. The cast works really really well together, similar to how Konosuba was performed, I feel like these actors were delivering their lines together and having actual conversations instead of being recorded separately. I disliked Noaya at first but he has grown on me a ton, probably mostly due to his VA being the same as Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I think his 100% honesty rule plays really well into the premise of the show and its comedy.
Well, not all anime/manga have to be Fullmetal alchemist. Sometimes if only have to follow the only rule of the entertainment industry: Don´t be boring. And girlfriend, girlfriend clearly isn´t any boring at all.
I’m willing to give Girlfriend Girlfriend a thumbs up on the simple fact that it’s way more wholesome and less stupid than a lot of other harem anime, despite appearances, just because it avoids the skeevyness of other modern harem anime by instead of having protag kun essentially cheat on all of the girls with each other, instead just be open right off and say “look, I like both of you, both of you like me and get along well enough, can we try this poly thing out?” It’s downright progressive.
@@MinhLe-cf5nt eh. Maybe I will. But I mean, a 3 way relationship sounds way more realistic and the fact that they are all like, self aware dumb is soo modern internet culture it hurts.
I gave the manga a try and had quite a bit of fun honestly, it does get pretty repetitive sometimes but the sheer himbo factor of it all keeps it entertaining
OH SO MUCH TRASH... Thats why i like stuff that small content-producers make. Like Cliffside, Starship Goldfish, Raised by Zombies, Epithet Erased, all that. It's flowing-over with Creativity and that's lovely.
I was really enjoying Shield Hero until that part where Raptalia looked so happy to have her slave sealed put back on. I really wish they just did what the Light Novels did and say she wanted it but only as a safeguard since as "property" she actually has some legal protection to keep racists from murdering her than if she was free.
I genuinely like Battle in 5 Seconds because of Akira’s borderline sociopathic character traits. Rather than working together, he actively uses everyone around him like tools without making it obvious which is the kind of behavior you’d actually expect to work in a death game over wide eyed optimism.
And the best part is, in the manga, at least, Akira does go through some character development, learning it's okay to actually trust some people, and avoids going full-on 100% sociopath, unlike every villain that serves as a darker reflection of those character traits, including his own father.
Also like Seirei Gensouki, Cheat Pharmacist, and while I didn't see it on here, would have expected it over either of those and Battle Game, Tsukimichi.
As far as I am in the manga, Akira actually cares deeply about Yuri. You can actually notice his fear and sometimes even desperation when she's in danger. It's a nice bit of character development for someone who was essentially using her at first.
-_- It is not the same situation. The collar was clearly not necessary to prevent her from attacking anyone and was just a pointless instrument of oppression. There was neither a narative nor rational reason for her to keep wearing it in the first place place. When Naofumi lost faith in Raphtalia after she was freed by the Spear in a rigged duel, Raphtalia offered to have her curse reapplied if it would mean that he could trust her again. The curse functioned as a lie detector and physically prevented her from trying to harm or disobey him, even when he slept, but it also was a tool to help him find her whenever they were seperated, and to Raphtalia, it was proof Naofumi wouldn't abandon her. The two are similar in concept only. Shield hero setup that plot point with forty chapters of abuse, mutual suffering and shared recovery from their past trauma. The only setup for the collar was a random girl assaulting you when you took a stroll in the woods.
@@bodaciouschad Yeah, no, that's all just a pile of thin narrative excuses designed to make people like you defend a hero owning slaves. Which I'll grant is more effort than most isekai stories where the hero owns slaves put into that part of their story, but holy shit, _just don't have your hero own slaves!_
@@timothymclean I am not trying defend Shield hero. Dude has trust issues. Hell he bought Raphtalia because he thought owning same gender as Bitch would give him give some peace of mind. He says in LN he believes he is a POS for making a little girl fight but he knows he doesn't have a choice if he wants to stay alive and go back home. But imagine you currently reading this comment suddenly get transported to a world where only power you have is to defend yourself and no attack capabilities. Next thing you know you're framed as R4pist and your face is broadcasted as a s** offender won't you have some trust issues? In the end of season 1 queen offered him to be transported to Furry kingdom where Shield hero would surrounded by haram of many furry princess. But Noufumi was so terrified of women he turned down the offer and choose to stay in the nation where he was framed.
I love BBC Sherlock because it’s great seeing the writers come up with the bullshit explanation for whatever insane thing just happened. That’s why the show is interesting, it’s not actually about being smart, is about how absurd the writing gets and it gets ABSURD and it is SUPER ENTERTAINING.
Seeing Girlfriend Girlfriend on here makes me look forward to the day where he will be able to review 'The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You'. For those who don't know it's a fricking hilarious manga where the main character, after being rejected a 100 times, is told by the Love God that he has 100 soulmates and he will start to meet them all soon. The thing is, the story manages to make all the characters interesting including the male lead, which rarely happens in harem stories. It subverts expectations in hilarious ways but also heartwarming ones. Like, for an example of the latter, the harem girls end up befriending each other and being nice to each other for reasons outside of being interested in the same man, which, I don't even know if other harem stories do that. I anyone manages to see this comment, I hope you give this manga a try
Girlfriend, Girlfriend. Where the MC is Polyam in his heart, and invites some girls he loves who are just just as clueless about it as him to give it a try. I love that he tries to treat them equally, and the humor from overcommunicating instead of under communicating, as the two greatest skills to hone in a poly relationship are communication and time management.
@@minskghoul There's a manga called 'The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You', and it might just be what you're looking for. Basically, a guy gets rejected 100 times by different girls due to a Love God making a mistake, and is then promised that he'll get 100 different soulmates. Basically Girlfriend, Girlfriend but infinitely better in every single way. It's hilarious with actual great comedy, all the girls so far (currently 15 in the manga) are all great and have entertaining and unique personalities, and the MC (Aijou Rentarou) is probably one of the best harem MCs ever made. He's the definition of what a chad really is. It's a great manga, and really entertaining too. Currently 69 chapters in and it's still as entertaining and fun as it was when it first started, with no dip in quality too. The author also promised that there will be 100 girlfriends, and with the way the manga is going, I think they might actually deliver. Give it a read, it's a solid 9/10 for me. (Karane and Shizuka best girls btw)
@@minskghoul Hard same, but considering how hard it is to get that here, and how much more in some ways Japan's society is repressed, I'll... Be pleasantly surprised if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath.
I found the initial couple of episodes to be uber-cringe, but the situation it sets up and the selfish tantrums of the MeToober end up being a couple of laughs to watch later on.
I'm gonna be real with ya Jeff, considering how bad these anime usually are in your trash bin videos, most of these seem like an ironically good time. Season must have been good.
For those disappointed by the abysmal Detective is already dead, I recommend you all to watch Moriarty the Patriot. An actual detective anime with a charismatic MC and great mysteries to unfold.
Physically recoiled from the screen at 7:29 because I remember buying that light novel, enjoying the first five chapters and one paragraph as Fun Iseikai Trash... and then I hit the second paragraph of chapter six. One sentence was about how the now 17-year-old girl character who had not aged over the five-year timeskip was indistinguishable from the 12-year-olds around her. Very next sentence contained the phrase "her alluring cuteness". nOPE!
Like I sort of get it. It would be like having a 16-17 year old character in western media. But seriously, those ages SHOULD be mistranslated to whatever is appropriate for the language. It's an instant rejct whenever a manga/anime goes that route.
@@kyleellis1825you do know the vast majority of japanese people aren't okay with pedophilia right? And the age of consent is not in fact 13 like many internet pedos will attest but I believe goes no lower than 16 in any prefecture
@@somedragonbastard 13 was only in one prefecture and that changed early this year or last year. So it is all 16 now. It was like that though, even if for the last decade t was legal, basically nobody practiced it.
@@FLarezzedits though that is old data like from 91. There's been other studies that been lower but still fairly high at 20% which is about 2x the National average.
@@Garhunt05 yeah, old and bad methodology, too. Like, there's tons of problems with policing as an institution and, as a result, policing attracts people who like to throw authority and violence around, and often gives them jobs that don't really help society. But we should at least be honest in our criticism. Plus, the actual numbers are still bad.
@@godminnette2 not to mention the actual study surveyed like 4 police stations and asked if they knew a cop who beat their wives, and since most cops know each other and are usually friends with each other, the percent is artificially inflated
I feel like it says something about me that I wasn't really interested in anything from Geoff's positive list for this season but used this one like a shopping list. Look I just wanna watch some dumpster fires burn alright I don't have a problem
Sometimes watching anime do be like that. You *can* find masterfully written stories and characters... but sometimes you just prefer searching for the most cringe, stupid and edgy shit that you can find. You know, for the memes.
17:42 Honestly that right there is enough to sell me on this show. "these people communicate instead of just letting misunderstandings get worse" err, yes please! More of that in my anime please.
more convesation and understanding, less "let's punch a dude because we think he's peeping on us as we bathe, no need to actually verify that, just beat the shit out of him" also fuck Maburaho
It's almost like any isekai/fantasy show that shoes the protagonist fighting a dragon in the OP is destined to be mediocre at best, if not complete trash.
let's make an isekai about an ogre who is killed and reincarnates as a cute anime waifu and then fights other reincarnated monsters no I don't ave ideas or anything >.>
@@timothymclean You can't prove that there isn't a conveniently anime-themed afterlife. What if dying this way leads to rebirth as an isekai protagonist?
Kanojo Mo Kanojo is AMAZING parody. Especially in sound design. and the male character's VA is actually always going 120% like he literally makes a seal noises sometimes.
Honestly, Battle 5 Seconds After Meeting, is unironically my favorite anime this season, but really that's probably because I dove into the manga after watching the first couple of episodes. And while the anime is a really faithful adaptation, it does suffer from the condensing. The first few episodes all cover a chapter or two, which basically serves as the prologue, but the rest of the season, the third program, is basically trying to condense down 60+ chapters. But, honestly, I can't recommend the manga enough. It might not be the absolute best, but it's really solid and enjoyable, even if the author did abandon the namesake premise after like 3 chapters. There's 153 or so translated chapters out there.
I did the same thing. The premise was interesting enough for the anime, and then I binged the manga and the whole thing was a wild ride. I need to check to see how far I'm behind now.
Girlfriend Girlfriend is probably the most fun you can actually have this season. Most people admit it's trash. But one thing it will never be is boring. And the OP song really bangs tbh. PS Saki is a Bisexual Icon.
@@edgarbautista5523 The live chat in Muse Asia's release of every episode is just people saying that the show is cringe, but they know they'll come back every week to watch the next episode.
0:08 Thanks for letting me rewatch such an awesome scene from SSSS. DYNAZENON again even if you don't even mention it as one of the best anime of SPRING 2021 5:32 even if it is trash, it is my relaxing show of the season 16:33 let's be real, if you watch "Girlfriend, Girlfriend" looking for a serious plot, that is all your fault as that show basically only needed a narrator at the first minute telling "all of the characters in this show are idiots. feel free to laugh at their shenanigans" to make it perfectly clear what type of show it was. and even then, just by knowing its manga was written by the author of Aho Girl, that should tell you everything
@@aqilzaneefer1091 I havent read that far into yet so Its hard for me to say if its better or not. But to give a very "first" impressions type review I do prefer it more than the anime.
You know, D-cide almost makes me sad because you can kinda see that the creators have some really good persona esque ideas! Even the arc you describe in the video, in abstract, is good, it just seems like execution. Urinonically I’d like to see what that studio can pull off with more work.
I feel like drugstore in another world is a show i would show my future kids (if i have them) because this just feels so watchable for a family to enjoy and sit back to. Definetly its one to not be taken seriously because i have never seen a show that screams it is for kids.
Naofumi only applies the curse to the demihumans because the curse can only be applied once, so if they take his mark, they are garaunteed a life of freedom. He uses it as a loophole that protects them from being enslaved by anyone else. The message I took from the series is that Naofumi is a guy willing to commit the lesser of two evils in the pursuit of a safer, more just world.
@@bodaciouschad What? You realize that irl slavery happened without magic right? And buying slaves and setting them free doesn't make the world better, every time you buy a slave from a slave trader they will then go on to capture or buy more slaves, there is no such thing as ethical slavery or ethical slave buying, if anything Naofumi openly performing business with a slave trader regularily and walking around with two of his slaves is a massive advertisement and helps enlargen/ legitimize the slave trade. When even the noble heroes are walking around with slaves what's to make it immoral for any one else to own slaves? Also Naofumi doesn't care about making a safer, more just world, all he cares about is himself and those around him, not the greater good and we've seen that time and time again. From denying giving a seed that would save a village from famine, to always focusing on profits above human life (except when its important characters and not random people). And to make it clear Naofumi doesn't believe slavery is evil. In episode 3 when confronted by Spear Hero about him owning a slave his reply was literally "Its legal bro. You think its immoral? That's just your opinion bro.", I'm paraphrasing a bit but that was literally what he said and the show tried to paint him as being right? Naofumi isn't a lesser of two evils kind of guy, he's an guy who pretends there is no good or neutral approaches and has his abused 10 yo slave and his literal monster baby girl (who was raised by him) constantly reaffirm him. The other heroes are egotistical smooth brained idiots but Naofumi is definitely the worst one (As of the until the Spirit turtle saga).
@@thebgod8182 you say all of this but naofumi chose to do all this because he wasn't treated like the chosen one from another world. He was treated like a criminal, called a rapist when he wasn't, a nd discriminated against because of the 3 hero cult religion in the verse. In order to fulfill his mission he has to turn to buying slaves and other things just to fulfill his mission because the world criminally hated him. And all of the selfish deeds you say naofimi committed came from the world hating him. He thought about results over others. Raphtalia often disagreed with that mentality too. He changed by the end of the season. Not saying naofumi had the right mindset the whole time but dealing with the discrimination of the demihumans is a whole can of worms that he took on just so he could have a party to accomplish his mission. The context is what matters in this story mire then anything
@@thebgod8182 I absolutely love and respect and honor detailed comments such as yours that go in depth with lots of details about the subject that make sure the whole message is received. And depending on the situation, I dislike vague comments such as "He's a good guy, he helped prople.", instead, you went ahead to explain why exactly he "helped" those people, and the goals and motives of doing so, and even what the results of that might be. Respect 👍🏻
I'm so glad people are finally acknowledging Shield Hero for the terrible writing it is. I remember reading the manga, getting too grossed out to continue and then being greatly alarmed to hear people whose opinion's I trusted online saying it was some kind of revolutionary masterpiece. I'm sure there's a nuanced way of handling that false rape accusation in media, but lets me honest, shield hero didn't achieve it. It didn't explore the legal failings or consequences of that kind of behaviour - it was basically just 'wymen bad and scary', the only girls you can trust are LITERAL slaves who can't lie or betray you. They're not making a political statement, it's just typical incel fearmongering. And look, I'd maybe give the shield hero a free pass on the first slave, but past that he had like, a bunch of options and KEPT DOING IT. One time someone even removes the slave brand and he PUTS IT BACK ON!? And no, 'this traumatised 12 year old girl said she wants to be a slave, so that makes it ok...' is not what consent looks like. No wonder the author's so terrified of 'false rape claims'. And look, if it had been up front about it being a dumb harem power fantasy that hadn't had a lot of thought put into it where slave was more of a character archetype than an actual social status, I'd be totally ok with it. Anime is trash and dumb and we love it, but idk, Shield Hero just read way too much like it was written by someone who'd seen these should and was like, yes, this is an ideal and good world to live in.
I like drugstore Isekai. It's the anime of the season that I watch for comfort, just turn my brain off and enjoy. It's cutesy, silly and makes me laugh sometimes. The gags Geoff mentioned really are completely unoriginal and not funny, but that's not what makes me laugh. It's in the delivery of the side jokes (is this a thing?) in some of the dialogs that get me off-guard.
Making the MC of Goddess Dorm 12 is such a weird decision. Like, if you really wanted to do the whole "younger man, older woman" harem romance, at least make him a high school 3rd year. Also yes, I'd love a Hottest Trash of Spring 2021.
I don't even watch anime all that often anymore but I always tune into these videos just to hear Geoff's increasingly bizarre and complex descriptions of trashfires of varying intensities
Girlfriend Girlfriend is actually doing a great job of representing the nuance, challenges, and genuine experience of embarking in a polyamorous relationship. The main character is highly unrealistic, but being upfront about everything makes the strongest foundation for a polyamory relationship. Of course it is all dialed to 11, because anime and drama, but the internal monologs of the characters are so relatable. You're convinced it works since our idea of monogamous relationships being the norm is actually quite arbitrary.
@@sarafontanini7051 yeah, I feel like people think that polyamory as a theme is there for like fantasy or comedy purposes when that's not how the show is handling it. I'm quite glad it's doing the opposite, normalizing it.
That’s what make me cringe Obvious bad jokes that tried to be funny but failed miserably Too surreal characters in real life situations Sorry if yo like this anime, but I gotta rate this -1000000000/10
@@amandak.4246 You have to admit that the only reason why it feels like "pressuring" is due to the fact that poly has a social stigma attached to it. The MC had to be persistent to sell the idea that he wanted a poly not only for selfish reasons but rather because he believed in it as well. Plus, they were dating for like a week dude, she could've just broken up with him ez as pie and end it at that lmao. In the end they are 2 consenting individuals who are free to make any decision they want.
@@amandak.4246 I think we need to differentiate exactly what happened in the anime with the realities of most people discovering or starting poly. Of course in real life you're supposed to take your time to discuss the subject matter for days, months or even years depending on the couple. If you think it's immoral to change the terms of a relationship from the start then I'm inclined to believe you've either never experienced poly or you got coerced into it (in which case I'm sorry you went thru that). There is no good way of telling your current SO that you are looking into exploring non-monogamy. As an individual you have the right to seek the relationship that will fulfill you the most, and that applies to both partners. If each individual wants a different type of relationship then they're both fundamentally incompatible to no fault of either and the best thing to do in that case is to break up. It would be inconsiderate to preemptively break up with a partner without even discussing if they would also be open to the same relationship as you so empathy calls for a discussion first. Of course there will always be a pressure when being told your partner wants to explore poly. But it isn't always the direct fault of the exploring partner but rather from the reality of the circumstances. Having said that, there are definitely bad and malicious ways to bring up poly. Thinking critically I think the way in which the confession was handled is definitely problematic. Just finding a potential partner and presenting them to your current SO is ludicrous specially with the expectation of an answer at the spot. I'm willing to give the anime a pass because it's obvious that it wanted to dwell in the actual living aspects of being in a poly and not HOW you get there. I believe it's an accurate representation of poly not due to the way it started but rather how it showcases the internal feelings and insecurities all the characters are having. Having been in a poly I can relate with all those feelings and insecurities. And the last thing, I said consenting individuals not consenting adults. I don't expect either of them to act like rational adults. I care about leveling the playing field, just like she's a 15 year old teen going thru puberty so is the guy and if they're BOTH making a bad decision because of their lack of experience then I'm fine with it.
@@yuvalgabay1023 don't remind me of that trainwreck... I read the manga and now I'm just angry at myself for thinking it would actually end up being decent
I don't know. Spirit chronicles is very cliche but there is a weird amount of detail and mystery put into everything that I am still engaged with the story.
the thing that bugs me about battle game in 5 sec, is that he has this super flexible ability that can do anything.. but he can only ever use the cannon because he is always around people who think he has the cannon who immediately tell the enemies he has a cannon
Which is honestly just such a waste of what could have been a really interesting power. It could have turned basically every fight into a contest of wits, where the goal of the fight could have been to trick the opponent into revealing their weakness and then convincing them that he has a power that's effective against them. Instead we just get "hey, remember that OP power you saw that one person use? Yeah, that's what I have."
@@DolusVulpes didn't he say that he has to totally convince someone he has the power? That's why it took him more time to get the cannon out in the first battle and that's why he keeps whipping it out
Because that's what he has to do. if he suddenly try to convince people he has a totally different ability every single time to have variety, then people will start to question him and he can't use his ability. It is a very versatile but very double-edged ability.
*spoiler alert* In the latest episodes he tells the female protag his real power is telepathy, letting them talk without other people listening, where he reveals his real power letting him use her to change his power when needed.
Kinda surprised Peach Boy Riverside wasn't on here. I don't think I've had such tonal whiplash from Episode 2 to 3 in such a long time. It was a really weird decision to randomize the episodes.
Peach Boy is generally a pretty decent show, that is just absolutely destroyed by the fact that the episodes are aired out of order. 4, 1, 2, 7, 11, 12, 5, 6 3, 8, 10, 9 That's the originally intended order, just to show how scrambled it is. Episode 4 was supposed to be the first episode, while the two episodes airing next were originally the fifth and sixth episodes.
@@dani007a now I'm finna rewatch the show goin off this list I heard it was done in a fucc up order so the ending could b a big battle which is stupid bcuz now the whole show is ruined
The girl from DCide Traumerei even 1)Looks like Yukiko (P4) 2)has same traits as Yukiko (shy smart goody two shoes) 3)and gets her persona that looks like Yukiko's persona (pink feathers on wrists)
Can't believe Geoff really got sponsored by Konosuba Fantastic Days, I'm already playing it of course but nice to see one of my favorite UA-camr collabing with one of my favorite anime (game?)
Girlfriend and battle game in 5 seconds both have awesome mangas. I even think they adopted the girlfriend manga pretty well and what comes after the anime is really dope. Battle is adapting like 50 chapters in like 6 episodes for the third arc which is gonna be challenging, but I highly suggest reading the manga if you like a series with 5head characters and cool powers.
17:59 As someone who never spent a cent on those, I can say that's entirely unrealistic. There should be roughly _three to five_ SSR or 5* pulls and none of them are the ones she wants.
I like the longer format more because it’s more time that I can hear you talk, I love your witty banter and your reviews in which I, for the most part, agree with (Edit: Spelling)
21:00 so this sounds like if Light Yagami joined Sword Art Online, except all the players are less interesting than the characters in either show, and also the premise.

Summer 2021 season is a trash season. There’s some OK shows but most of it has been garbage so far. Good time to catch up with completed shows or to read some manga. Personally I’ve caught up with Spy x Family and started reading Dune.
I thought this was a slow season and then looking at my mal list, I am still watching like 30 shows, same from the last season. There are some great shows like tsukimichi, jahy sama, remake out lives, dragon maid s2, hamefura s2, kageki shoujo, Aquatope, Vanitas etc. Granted, there are decent amount of longer running shows that carried over but none on the same caliber as the top 5 of the last season. Spring 2021 had to be one of the best season i have ever experienced.
I honestly prefer the longer dives like in the winter 2021 mode. I often don't have time to actually watch the shows, so a deep dive into how bad they are, picking them apart for the funnies is actually what I'm here for
My list S tier : Higurashi Sotsu , Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi , Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid A tier : Meikyuu Black Company , Tensura season 2 part 2 , Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai , Tsukimichi : A Moonlit Fantasy , Sonny Boy , Vanitas no Carte B tier : Kanojo mo Kanojo , Megami-ryou no Ryoubo-kun, Uramichi Oniisan C tier : Tantei wa Mou Shindeiru , Peach Boy Riverside , Drugstore in other world , Scarlet Nexus
11:30 so, you can probably guess that Sentai and Kamen rider doesn’t really do this. Usually if the monster of the week represents anything, it’s for some rando side character without that much depth. That being said, there have been some fantastic use of past trauma through monster fights. One of the best examples being Ahim avenging her family in Gokaiger. The monster himself, who looks like if a buzzwole was also a millennium item, isn’t really intimidating or represents a major issue. It’s ahims emotions and the importance of her role in the team that makes the fight work so well. Another big one that comes to mind is a certain fight near the end of Kamen Rider Gaim, but it’s such a huge story turn I’m not gonna spoil it. Go watch Gaim.
I was going to watch the Scarlet Nexus anime as I played, so that I wouldn’t get spoiled and could get the codes, but eventually stopped once I realized that the anime leans hard on generic anime protagonist tropes, robbing the characters of what little personality they had so that they could squeeze the bulky plot into the runtime. Or, in Kasane’s case, focus only on emotional moments, so her crucial LACK of a personality isn’t clear, which ruins her entire arc of learning how to connect with people and stop being so condescending and caustic. Never thought I’d hate an anime for making a character more relatable, but there ya go. It’s like if Ramlethal from Guilty Gear was introduced as a genki girl. Ugh.
I mean, SN doesn't have the most stellar plot, but atleast the characters were likeable enough (only played Kazane's side, and I ended up liking everyone on her team)
Not gonna lie, those of us in the Crunchyroll comments have agreed that we only watch Cheat Pharmacist to kill time before watching Tsukimichi. And hell, that's the warmup to Dragon Maid.
Hey the detective is already dead was literally dead on arrival. It is in the title. I still love it. Like watching a fuck up keep trying to be successful and just makes the mess worse. I love it! Knock her up is also a dramtic catch phrase yelled by protagonists in other anime. Adult anime but yeah
Is it, like, "Wow, this is just *bad*" bad, or more like In/Spectre's "now let's sit in a car and argue with someone on the internet for four episodes" bad?
@@Nshadowtail Uh... I actually liked In/Spectre. The climax was a bit wack but entertaining enough and Kotoko was character that carried the show lol. The other characters were good too. Detective is already dead is like.... uh... Bad Mystery meets Metal Gear Solid meets Resident evil meets Waifu wars meets the bad writers of all of them. It is so bad its good, especially when it "tries".
Felt the same on Seirei Gensouki. Promising start, played around with the typical reincarnated protagonist trope, but as soon as the harem of waifus got introduced it devolved into the typical schlock. Too bad.
Konosuba: FD is actually so fun. My favorite part of the game is that it's actually designed so that you can use Megumin, full fainting drawback and all, and still be able to 3* everything.

When I saw girlfriend-girlfriend my first thought was “oh my god! Japan ACTUALLY let an explicitly wlw anime be made and put on Muse Asia???”
Then I clicked on the first episode and cursed myself for being that naive
"Stocked full of usefull Characters and aqua" that's a critical hit on my funny bone.
Girlfriend Girlfriend seems like the diet version of 100 Girlfriends, a manga that feels like it's probably going to be getting an anime some time soon but hasn't been announced yet. I should probably give it a full chance but I don't know if my self-image can handle me enjoying two of those.
genuinely interested in battle in 5 seconds. anime is so much more fun when the protag is clinical. it would also be cool if he grew to genuinely like the murderwaifu. also, would love to hear you talk about fairy ranmaru. that show is one big weird fetish exhibition.
Well you convinced me to go check out 'Odd Taxi's, thinking I'll see what it's about but doubt I'll like it or watch the entire season. Couldn't have been more wrong. I'm about half way done with it and I love it.
I have the most love/hate relationship (ha!) with kanojo mo kanojo as it has a LOT of good polyamorous moments but then lets the third girl take way too much screen time and just drags down what was almost a wonderful story of how relationships like that can develop. The manga is the same - a few chapters of heartwarming moments and growth will happen and then third girl runs in and tries to kidnap the MC and is just a trash human being....again.
That said, I am still watching it to enjoy the good moments. It gives the idea of poly relationships far more respect than almost any other manga or anime has, and seeing the moments between Saki and Nagisa is just too precious.
Understandable
agreed. it is kinda sad THIS is the closest we have ever gotten to a polyamoruous anime that actually showcases the poly relationship in a way all parties win.
especially how earlier on, in the first episodes, to me, Saki legit felt like the protagonist starting to accept being in love with naoya and minase
@@ianr.navahuber2195 I mean the difference is Minase is hopelessly in love with Naoya downright obsessively so, why would she even accept Saki's love?
@@ibrahimabdullahi3077 If anything, that could also be part of her character arc of loving both, as a way to go full into the comedy.

Next year we’ll get an anime adaptation of Raid: Shadow Legends, and it’s gonna be the best thing ever, trust me
I actually kinda like the writing in their ads, though. At least the ones focusing on the characters. Never played the game, but every ad with them is really good the first time I watch it. Deathknight is a bog-standard worthless starter unit and everyone knows it, so this gives him a nice underdog/outcast character archetype. I wanted him to get swole in that training montage ad he gets. I know Raid's ad team became notoriously good for indiscriminate bombardment, but now that their name's definitely out there, they're continuing to adapt and improve. I still don't care about the game, but I kinda think they got a glow-up.
So for sure an anime adaptation is doomed to poorer writing than the sauce and would 100% be fit for this list

I expected Girlfriend Girlfriend to just be terrible, but it's actually really funny. I particularly love Saki Saki's writing and voice actor. I don't care for the MC much, but aside from that its a genuinely good watch.
its one of my favorite trash anime that i've seen in a while. I get a real good laugh out of it
I just wish it looked better and actually committed to making it a genuine love triangle with a bi girl instead of being another harem
Its at least the most honest harem anime, where the guy is actually trying to handle the logistics of having a harem. Its doing it poorly in how each girl is so complicit instead of actively competitive. But its actually trying to make an harem actually function. The trying is the important part because in most cases of this genre, the dude is doing NOTHING and the harem still maintains itself somehow.
See I think the best part of Girlfriend Girlfriend for me is that Saki feels more like the main character, or at least is on equal footing with Naoya. I agree completely that Saki's VA does some amazing work here. The cast works really really well together, similar to how Konosuba was performed, I feel like these actors were delivering their lines together and having actual conversations instead of being recorded separately.
I disliked Noaya at first but he has grown on me a ton, probably mostly due to his VA being the same as Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I think his 100% honesty rule plays really well into the premise of the show and its comedy.

I’m willing to give Girlfriend Girlfriend a thumbs up on the simple fact that it’s way more wholesome and less stupid than a lot of other harem anime, despite appearances, just because it avoids the skeevyness of other modern harem anime by instead of having protag kun essentially cheat on all of the girls with each other, instead just be open right off and say “look, I like both of you, both of you like me and get along well enough, can we try this poly thing out?”
It’s downright progressive.
Might as well just read "The 100 girlfriends who really, really love you" then.

I was really enjoying Shield Hero until that part where Raptalia looked so happy to have her slave sealed put back on. I really wish they just did what the Light Novels did and say she wanted it but only as a safeguard since as "property" she actually has some legal protection to keep racists from murdering her than if she was free.
I genuinely like Battle in 5 Seconds because of Akira’s borderline sociopathic character traits. Rather than working together, he actively uses everyone around him like tools without making it obvious which is the kind of behavior you’d actually expect to work in a death game over wide eyed optimism.
And the best part is, in the manga, at least, Akira does go through some character development, learning it's okay to actually trust some people, and avoids going full-on 100% sociopath, unlike every villain that serves as a darker reflection of those character traits, including his own father.
Also like Seirei Gensouki, Cheat Pharmacist, and while I didn't see it on here, would have expected it over either of those and Battle Game, Tsukimichi.
Akira my fav mc
“Which is the kind of behavior you’d actually expect to work in a death game” yes. Cause death games are always super realistic
As far as I am in the manga, Akira actually cares deeply about Yuri. You can actually notice his fear and sometimes even desperation when she's in danger.
It's a nice bit of character development for someone who was essentially using her at first.

It is not the same situation. The collar was clearly not necessary to prevent her from attacking anyone and was just a pointless instrument of oppression. There was neither a narative nor rational reason for her to keep wearing it in the first place place. When Naofumi lost faith in Raphtalia after she was freed by the Spear in a rigged duel, Raphtalia offered to have her curse reapplied if it would mean that he could trust her again. The curse functioned as a lie detector and physically prevented her from trying to harm or disobey him, even when he slept, but it also was a tool to help him find her whenever they were seperated, and to Raphtalia, it was proof Naofumi wouldn't abandon her. The two are similar in concept only. Shield hero setup that plot point with forty chapters of abuse, mutual suffering and shared recovery from their past trauma. The only setup for the collar was a random girl assaulting you when you took a stroll in the woods.
@@bodaciouschad Yeah, no, that's all just a pile of thin narrative excuses designed to make people like you defend a hero owning slaves.

For those who don't know it's a fricking hilarious manga where the main character, after being rejected a 100 times, is told by the Love God that he has 100 soulmates and he will start to meet them all soon. The thing is, the story manages to make all the characters interesting including the male lead, which rarely happens in harem stories. It subverts expectations in hilarious ways but also heartwarming ones. Like, for an example of the latter, the harem girls end up befriending each other and being nice to each other for reasons outside of being interested in the same man, which, I don't even know if other harem stories do that.

17:42 Honestly that right there is enough to sell me on this show. "these people communicate instead of just letting misunderstandings get worse" err, yes please! More of that in my anime please.
more convesation and understanding, less "let's punch a dude because we think he's peeping on us as we bathe, no need to actually verify that, just beat the shit out of him"
also fuck Maburaho
It's almost like any isekai/fantasy show that shoes the protagonist fighting a dragon in the OP is destined to be mediocre at best, if not complete trash.
let's make an isekai about an ogre who is killed and reincarnates as a cute anime waifu and then fights other reincarnated monsters
no I don't ave ideas or anything >.>
i would quite literally die for a video covering spring’s trash anime jeff
We all would
It just so happens that I'd kill for one!
This must be destiny.
You're in luck, 'cause I'd kill for one. I'll be with you shortly.
Please don't, I don't see how it could help. And you can't watch it if you're dead, so it would all be for nothing!
@@timothymclean You can't prove that there isn't a conveniently anime-themed afterlife. What if dying this way leads to rebirth as an isekai protagonist?
Kanojo Mo Kanojo is AMAZING parody. Especially in sound design. and the male character's VA is actually always going 120% like he literally makes a seal noises sometimes.
Honestly, Battle 5 Seconds After Meeting, is unironically my favorite anime this season, but really that's probably because I dove into the manga after watching the first couple of episodes. And while the anime is a really faithful adaptation, it does suffer from the condensing. The first few episodes all cover a chapter or two, which basically serves as the prologue, but the rest of the season, the third program, is basically trying to condense down 60+ chapters.
But, honestly, I can't recommend the manga enough. It might not be the absolute best, but it's really solid and enjoyable, even if the author did abandon the namesake premise after like 3 chapters. There's 153 or so translated chapters out there.
I did the same thing. The premise was interesting enough for the anime, and then I binged the manga and the whole thing was a wild ride. I need to check to see how far I'm behind now.
To be fair, the chapters are really short. Not that much is happening in one chapter, which has like 20 pages or smth?
@@hendeyjagger7489 True, but the first few episodes only cover 1 or 2 chapters at most.
I love how girlfriend girlfriend is both in the best anime of this season and the worst anime of this season. really shows how absurd it is
Girlfriend Girlfriend is probably the most fun you can actually have this season. Most people admit it's trash. But one thing it will never be is boring. And the OP song really bangs tbh. PS Saki is a Bisexual Icon.
There is an ongoing joke in the vrv comment section of the show "this show is trash, see you all next week" lol
Saki being a closet bi is one of the best gags in the show honestly and I hope they develop that more instead of leaving it behind
@@edgarbautista5523 The live chat in Muse Asia's release of every episode is just people saying that the show is cringe, but they know they'll come back every week to watch the next episode.
@@edgarbautista5523 that's such a mood, "this is actual garbage, where can I get more?"
Not only that, Saki is also a degenerate for getting turned on by ntr
0:08 Thanks for letting me rewatch such an awesome scene from SSSS. DYNAZENON again even if you don't even mention it as one of the best anime of SPRING 2021
5:32 even if it is trash, it is my relaxing show of the season
16:33 let's be real, if you watch "Girlfriend, Girlfriend" looking for a serious plot, that is all your fault as that show basically only needed a narrator at the first minute telling "all of the characters in this show are idiots. feel free to laugh at their shenanigans" to make it perfectly clear what type of show it was. and even then, just by knowing its manga was written by the author of Aho Girl, that should tell you everything
yeah Slow life is my early monday relax time
Slime is my middle of the week hype time
and Dungeon black company is my end of the week joy time
This explains why I hate Girlfriend Girlfriend after episode 3.
I hate Ago Girl. And this author is imo total trash.

@@MatthewCJoy hey, have fun in the trash, trash man.
@@matthewbadley5063 Ngl, you dropped this 👑.
I started to read the LNs of, "The Detective is Already Dead" because of how boring the anime has been and ruining a rather interesting premise
Is it any better than the anime?
@@aqilzaneefer1091 I havent read that far into yet so Its hard for me to say if its better or not. But to give a very "first" impressions type review I do prefer it more than the anime.
You know, D-cide almost makes me sad because you can kinda see that the creators have some really good persona esque ideas! Even the arc you describe in the video, in abstract, is good, it just seems like execution. Urinonically I’d like to see what that studio can pull off with more work.
I feel like drugstore in another world is a show i would show my future kids (if i have them) because this just feels so watchable for a family to enjoy and sit back to. Definetly its one to not be taken seriously because i have never seen a show that screams it is for kids.
If kidnapping people and forcing them to watch anime is wrong then I don't wanna be right. 😤
“Maybe the bar for this genre is too low.” Flashback to Shield Hero, and its message of, “Maybe supporting slavery is good, actually.”
Naofumi only applies the curse to the demihumans because the curse can only be applied once, so if they take his mark, they are garaunteed a life of freedom. He uses it as a loophole that protects them from being enslaved by anyone else. The message I took from the series is that Naofumi is a guy willing to commit the lesser of two evils in the pursuit of a safer, more just world.
@@bodaciouschad What? You realize that irl slavery happened without magic right? And buying slaves and setting them free doesn't make the world better, every time you buy a slave from a slave trader they will then go on to capture or buy more slaves, there is no such thing as ethical slavery or ethical slave buying, if anything Naofumi openly performing business with a slave trader regularily and walking around with two of his slaves is a massive advertisement and helps enlargen/ legitimize the slave trade. When even the noble heroes are walking around with slaves what's to make it immoral for any one else to own slaves?
Also Naofumi doesn't care about making a safer, more just world, all he cares about is himself and those around him, not the greater good and we've seen that time and time again. From denying giving a seed that would save a village from famine, to always focusing on profits above human life (except when its important characters and not random people).
And to make it clear Naofumi doesn't believe slavery is evil. In episode 3 when confronted by Spear Hero about him owning a slave his reply was literally "Its legal bro. You think its immoral? That's just your opinion bro.", I'm paraphrasing a bit but that was literally what he said and the show tried to paint him as being right?
Naofumi isn't a lesser of two evils kind of guy, he's an guy who pretends there is no good or neutral approaches and has his abused 10 yo slave and his literal monster baby girl (who was raised by him) constantly reaffirm him. The other heroes are egotistical smooth brained idiots but Naofumi is definitely the worst one (As of the until the Spirit turtle saga).
@@thebgod8182 you say all of this but naofumi chose to do all this because he wasn't treated like the chosen one from another world. He was treated like a criminal, called a rapist when he wasn't, a nd discriminated against because of the 3 hero cult religion in the verse.
In order to fulfill his mission he has to turn to buying slaves and other things just to fulfill his mission because the world criminally hated him. And all of the selfish deeds you say naofimi committed came from the world hating him. He thought about results over others. Raphtalia often disagreed with that mentality too. He changed by the end of the season.
Not saying naofumi had the right mindset the whole time but dealing with the discrimination of the demihumans is a whole can of worms that he took on just so he could have a party to accomplish his mission.
The context is what matters in this story mire then anything
@@thebgod8182 I absolutely love and respect and honor detailed comments such as yours that go in depth with lots of details about the subject that make sure the whole message is received.
And depending on the situation, I dislike vague comments such as "He's a good guy, he helped prople.", instead, you went ahead to explain why exactly he "helped" those people, and the goals and motives of doing so, and even what the results of that might be.
Respect 👍🏻
I'm so glad people are finally acknowledging Shield Hero for the terrible writing it is. I remember reading the manga, getting too grossed out to continue and then being greatly alarmed to hear people whose opinion's I trusted online saying it was some kind of revolutionary masterpiece.
I'm sure there's a nuanced way of handling that false rape accusation in media, but lets me honest, shield hero didn't achieve it. It didn't explore the legal failings or consequences of that kind of behaviour - it was basically just 'wymen bad and scary', the only girls you can trust are LITERAL slaves who can't lie or betray you. They're not making a political statement, it's just typical incel fearmongering.
And look, I'd maybe give the shield hero a free pass on the first slave, but past that he had like, a bunch of options and KEPT DOING IT. One time someone even removes the slave brand and he PUTS IT BACK ON!? And no, 'this traumatised 12 year old girl said she wants to be a slave, so that makes it ok...' is not what consent looks like. No wonder the author's so terrified of 'false rape claims'.
And look, if it had been up front about it being a dumb harem power fantasy that hadn't had a lot of thought put into it where slave was more of a character archetype than an actual social status, I'd be totally ok with it. Anime is trash and dumb and we love it, but idk, Shield Hero just read way too much like it was written by someone who'd seen these should and was like, yes, this is an ideal and good world to live in.
each one of your ratings is its own story and occasionally an SCP. I love this series
I like drugstore Isekai. It's the anime of the season that I watch for comfort, just turn my brain off and enjoy. It's cutesy, silly and makes me laugh sometimes. The gags Geoff mentioned really are completely unoriginal and not funny, but that's not what makes me laugh. It's in the delivery of the side jokes (is this a thing?) in some of the dialogs that get me off-guard.
Making the MC of Goddess Dorm 12 is such a weird decision. Like, if you really wanted to do the whole "younger man, older woman" harem romance, at least make him a high school 3rd year.
Also yes, I'd love a Hottest Trash of Spring 2021.
It gets more baffling when his classmate gets her bra ripped off like two times so far at least.
I agree. I smell a roasting of Full Dive from a mile away.

I don't even watch anime all that often anymore but I always tune into these videos just to hear Geoff's increasingly bizarre and complex descriptions of trashfires of varying intensities
Girlfriend Girlfriend is actually doing a great job of representing the nuance, challenges, and genuine experience of embarking in a polyamorous relationship. The main character is highly unrealistic, but being upfront about everything makes the strongest foundation for a polyamory relationship.
Of course it is all dialed to 11, because anime and drama, but the internal monologs of the characters are so relatable. You're convinced it works since our idea of monogamous relationships being the norm is actually quite arbitrary.
I just want more positive portrayals of polyamoury that aren't just cheating storylines
@@sarafontanini7051 yeah, I feel like people think that polyamory as a theme is there for like fantasy or comedy purposes when that's not how the show is handling it. I'm quite glad it's doing the opposite, normalizing it.
That’s what make me cringe
Obvious bad jokes that tried to be funny but failed miserably
Too surreal characters in real life situations
Sorry if yo like this anime, but I gotta rate this -1000000000/10
@@amandak.4246 You have to admit that the only reason why it feels like "pressuring" is due to the fact that poly has a social stigma attached to it. The MC had to be persistent to sell the idea that he wanted a poly not only for selfish reasons but rather because he believed in it as well. Plus, they were dating for like a week dude, she could've just broken up with him ez as pie and end it at that lmao. In the end they are 2 consenting individuals who are free to make any decision they want.
@@amandak.4246 I think we need to differentiate exactly what happened in the anime with the realities of most people discovering or starting poly. Of course in real life you're supposed to take your time to discuss the subject matter for days, months or even years depending on the couple.
If you think it's immoral to change the terms of a relationship from the start then I'm inclined to believe you've either never experienced poly or you got coerced into it (in which case I'm sorry you went thru that).
There is no good way of telling your current SO that you are looking into exploring non-monogamy. As an individual you have the right to seek the relationship that will fulfill you the most, and that applies to both partners.
If each individual wants a different type of relationship then they're both fundamentally incompatible to no fault of either and the best thing to do in that case is to break up. It would be inconsiderate to preemptively break up with a partner without even discussing if they would also be open to the same relationship as you so empathy calls for a discussion first.
Of course there will always be a pressure when being told your partner wants to explore poly. But it isn't always the direct fault of the exploring partner but rather from the reality of the circumstances. Having said that, there are definitely bad and malicious ways to bring up poly.
Thinking critically I think the way in which the confession was handled is definitely problematic. Just finding a potential partner and presenting them to your current SO is ludicrous specially with the expectation of an answer at the spot.
I'm willing to give the anime a pass because it's obvious that it wanted to dwell in the actual living aspects of being in a poly and not HOW you get there. I believe it's an accurate representation of poly not due to the way it started but rather how it showcases the internal feelings and insecurities all the characters are having. Having been in a poly I can relate with all those feelings and insecurities.
And the last thing, I said consenting individuals not consenting adults. I don't expect either of them to act like rational adults. I care about leveling the playing field, just like she's a 15 year old teen going thru puberty so is the guy and if they're BOTH making a bad decision because of their lack of experience then I'm fine with it.
3:53 So in other words you're forced to include Aqua in your party early on until you get another character with the same element?
While not the best anime this season, Girlfriend Girlfriend does have promise and I think it will become a actually good show over time
Hopefully
Oy boy remember rental girlfriend. Thats give me no hope
Isn't it already?
@@yuvalgabay1023 don't remind me of that trainwreck... I read the manga and now I'm just angry at myself for thinking it would actually end up being decent

Seirei Gensouki becoming how it is… is disappointing. However it’s the exact kind of terrible I really like. Generic isekai trash is fun
That's pretty much how I've heard it. The main character is basically "Protagonist-kun" in "Generic World". Not good, not bad. Just "meh".
It's fun when he almost kills an attempted rapist though. (very much wish fulfillment)
I don't know. Spirit chronicles is very cliche but there is a weird amount of detail and mystery put into everything that I am still engaged with the story.
@@andrewowens4421 Now renamed by the "loving" fanbase as Kirito 2.0.
It’s trash but entertaining. One of my favorite this season
the thing that bugs me about battle game in 5 sec, is that he has this super flexible ability that can do anything.. but he can only ever use the cannon because he is always around people who think he has the cannon who immediately tell the enemies he has a cannon
Which is honestly just such a waste of what could have been a really interesting power. It could have turned basically every fight into a contest of wits, where the goal of the fight could have been to trick the opponent into revealing their weakness and then convincing them that he has a power that's effective against them. Instead we just get "hey, remember that OP power you saw that one person use? Yeah, that's what I have."
I haven’t been keeping up either the snipe but in manga he use a lot more
@@DolusVulpes didn't he say that he has to totally convince someone he has the power? That's why it took him more time to get the cannon out in the first battle and that's why he keeps whipping it out
Because that's what he has to do. if he suddenly try to convince people he has a totally different ability every single time to have variety, then people will start to question him and he can't use his ability. It is a very versatile but very double-edged ability.
*spoiler alert*
In the latest episodes he tells the female protag his real power is telepathy, letting them talk without other people listening, where he reveals his real power letting him use her to change his power when needed.
Kinda surprised Peach Boy Riverside wasn't on here. I don't think I've had such tonal whiplash from Episode 2 to 3 in such a long time. It was a really weird decision to randomize the episodes.
Peach Boy is generally a pretty decent show, that is just absolutely destroyed by the fact that the episodes are aired out of order.
4, 1, 2, 7, 11, 12, 5, 6 3, 8, 10, 9
That's the originally intended order, just to show how scrambled it is. Episode 4 was supposed to be the first episode, while the two episodes airing next were originally the fifth and sixth episodes.

Girlfriend and battle game in 5 seconds both have awesome mangas. I even think they adopted the girlfriend manga pretty well and what comes after the anime is really dope. Battle is adapting like 50 chapters in like 6 episodes for the third arc which is gonna be challenging, but I highly suggest reading the manga if you like a series with 5head characters and cool powers.
17:59 As someone who never spent a cent on those, I can say that's entirely unrealistic.
There should be roughly _three to five_ SSR or 5* pulls and none of them are the ones she wants.

Me sees the title of this video. This is about to be goooood.
Summer 2021 season is a trash season. There’s some OK shows but most of it has been garbage so far. Good time to catch up with completed shows or to read some manga. Personally I’ve caught up with Spy x Family and started reading Dune.
I thought this was a slow season and then looking at my mal list, I am still watching like 30 shows, same from the last season. There are some great shows like tsukimichi, jahy sama, remake out lives, dragon maid s2, hamefura s2, kageki shoujo, Aquatope, Vanitas etc. Granted, there are decent amount of longer running shows that carried over but none on the same caliber as the top 5 of the last season. Spring 2021 had to be one of the best season i have ever experienced.
I might have some pyromaniac tendencies, because I enjoy watching these dumpsterfires weekly.
I honestly prefer the longer dives like in the winter 2021 mode. I often don't have time to actually watch the shows, so a deep dive into how bad they are, picking them apart for the funnies is actually what I'm here for
I've heard that _86_ is good, though it's not my kind of anime. I get the premise, but I really don't get the overall storyline.
It's overrated. Not the worst thing out there but definitely overhyped.

Reasonably interesting premise into time skip into dumpster fire generic power fantasy is my favorite combo in the meta right now!
what happened to the isekai power fantasy harem loli slave meta?
11:30 so, you can probably guess that Sentai and Kamen rider doesn’t really do this. Usually if the monster of the week represents anything, it’s for some rando side character without that much depth. That being said, there have been some fantastic use of past trauma through monster fights. One of the best examples being Ahim avenging her family in Gokaiger. The monster himself, who looks like if a buzzwole was also a millennium item, isn’t really intimidating or represents a major issue. It’s ahims emotions and the importance of her role in the team that makes the fight work so well.
Another big one that comes to mind is a certain fight near the end of Kamen Rider Gaim, but it’s such a huge story turn I’m not gonna spoil it. Go watch Gaim.
Me: "Girlfriend, Girlfriend, is a f-ing disaster."
*Girlfriend, Girlfriend is made by the same guy behind Aho girl*
Me: "Oh. Makes sense."
Also, IIRC, the same guy who gave us the “a cat is fine, too” meme.
I was going to watch the Scarlet Nexus anime as I played, so that I wouldn’t get spoiled and could get the codes, but eventually stopped once I realized that the anime leans hard on generic anime protagonist tropes, robbing the characters of what little personality they had so that they could squeeze the bulky plot into the runtime.
Or, in Kasane’s case, focus only on emotional moments, so her crucial LACK of a personality isn’t clear, which ruins her entire arc of learning how to connect with people and stop being so condescending and caustic. Never thought I’d hate an anime for making a character more relatable, but there ya go.
It’s like if Ramlethal from Guilty Gear was introduced as a genki girl. Ugh.
I mean, SN doesn't have the most stellar plot, but atleast the characters were likeable enough (only played Kazane's side, and I ended up liking everyone on her team)
Not gonna lie, those of us in the Crunchyroll comments have agreed that we only watch Cheat Pharmacist to kill time before watching Tsukimichi. And hell, that's the warmup to Dragon Maid.
18:30 he’s not two timing though they all agreed to it so it’s a polycule
Hey the detective is already dead was literally dead on arrival. It is in the title. I still love it. Like watching a fuck up keep trying to be successful and just makes the mess worse. I love it!
Knock her up is also a dramtic catch phrase yelled by protagonists in other anime. Adult anime but yeah
Is it, like, "Wow, this is just *bad*" bad, or more like In/Spectre's "now let's sit in a car and argue with someone on the internet for four episodes" bad?
@@Nshadowtail Uh... I actually liked In/Spectre. The climax was a bit wack but entertaining enough and Kotoko was character that carried the show lol. The other characters were good too. Detective is already dead is like.... uh... Bad Mystery meets Metal Gear Solid meets Resident evil meets Waifu wars meets the bad writers of all of them. It is so bad its good, especially when it "tries".
you know its a good season when Geoff complements two of the anime on the list more than he brings them down
Felt the same on Seirei Gensouki. Promising start, played around with the typical reincarnated protagonist trope, but as soon as the harem of waifus got introduced it devolved into the typical schlock. Too bad.
Geoff has such a phenomenal way with words he managed to make me want to watch a bad anime because it sounded so hilariously bad.
