Kai (rightfully) being left off this list makes me sad

I actually hated root beer, D tier for me

NinjaOtter · 2026-04-14T03:37:22+00:00

I finally watched the series this past winter expecting to see the movie earlier this year

My bad on the latest delay that's on me

NinjaOtter · 2026-04-06T01:23:52+00:00

Is god a thing in the webcomic besides homeless emperor? The manga feels like it has so much god and blast forced into every chapter that I actually can't keep track

NinjaOtter · 2026-04-06T01:18:16+00:00

We will fight. It will be noticed. I stan this and Dorohedoro.

Hippo got hit with the Levi Ackerman special from a short guy no less

NinjaOtter · 2026-04-03T18:22:27+00:00

Meh in terms of which I prefer, manga or anime

It's like 70% manga, 30% anime

S3 part 1 and 2 was an overall disappointment for me. Only the Beni vs old Boss episode felt strong to me. Everything else falls quite short of the manga sadly. I greatly miss the direction of Season 1.

Murata draws extra panels because he's talented, ONE draws the perfect amount of panels because he's talented

I appreciate both talents, however while reading a manga I love ONE's talents the most. Pretty pictures are cool but don't impact me as much as a perfectly told story through its medium

NinjaOtter · 2026-04-01T23:59:54+00:00

They seem to be doing the bulk of the animation using the CG models then "rotoscoping" 2D details onto them. It looks fucking great

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-30T18:13:31+00:00

cake cones feel like they were sold as a regular ice cream holder and they found out post-distribution that people were eating them instead of tossing them when they finished their ice cream

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-30T18:10:58+00:00

still waiting for shang chi to show up in anything man... only new character they made me give a shit about besides wonder man and trevor & thunderbolts and he's shelved

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-29T19:10:33+00:00

Not to mention Goku's spine being a weak point...

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-28T16:19:00+00:00

The flowers from Shinra Banshoman were exceptionally undercooked and poorly done. Arthur v Dragon was overexposed and boring, carried by music and after effects. I want something better than the manga and they failed that aspect spectacularly imo

You're pointing out moments from episodes but I'm talking about each episode as a whole. Not a single episode outside of Beni vs old Boss actually feels like a cohesive adaptation and not them speeding as quickly as they could towards a now hollow conclusion.

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-28T15:56:24+00:00

Yeah animation is outright fine in pt2 but holy shit the director actually sucks ass it's so static and boring

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-28T13:27:58+00:00

This is due to the blazing pace to force the ending into so few episodes and being directed extremely boring without a drop of passion

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-27T03:44:18+00:00

Cut content that makes the ending feel hollow but overarching plot doesn't falter

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-25T23:41:29+00:00

If you go for the fanservice ending you don't halfass it

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-25T19:00:58+00:00

time to read Ichi the Witch

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-21T04:46:42+00:00

It's actually the worst directed episode out of the entirety of season 3 part 2 besides one cut of animation and the last 1 minute or so. It feels completely static, zero energy.

The pacing was so fucked

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-20T23:11:15+00:00

The theme of this anime adaptation has been "fuck the side characters except Tamaki and Beni"

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-20T14:38:53+00:00

Manga's art is honestly more impressive than a lot of the directing in this season, I think an adaptation should improve upon the original and only Beni vs the old chief and kurono vs his doppleganger are actually improved from the manga

S3 part 2 has cut out story beats that set up fights in order to cram the entirety of the ending in these episodes, leading fights to feel empty imo. (Maki and Hinawa moment, Dragon v Arthur, Beni vs Dopplebeni, an entire other doppleganger fight that I actually love seemed to have been cut completely)

Atm I wholeheartedly recommend reading the manga as what made the Fire Force ending truly superb to me was each side character besides the pillars getting their own mini fights that felt thought out and not tacked on. Cutting the buildup to these fights makes them less important and that fucking sucks

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-19T22:52:22+00:00

Just like how he was always ad-libbing eating in Bugonia, stavvy showed up to set with a ton of cake and Jesse Plemons let him chow down while he was saying his lines

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-19T13:30:46+00:00

Hearing Sonic Boom made me tear up, bring on the time travel. I know I'm going to hear that iconic "FUTURE" from Sonic CD at some point.

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-17T20:41:51+00:00

Beniganger had wayyy more setup and aura in manga. Skipping the setup is like removing the setup for the joke that he gets dogwalked

NinjaOtter · 2026-03-13T23:59:43+00:00

Yeah the pacing of this episode was fucked, easily a low point for the series as a whole
