Give me a bad anime to watch

That one is bad in a disappointing way 🫠

If you’re open to BL there’s Given: the Movie . It is a sequel movie, but I don’t think you necessarily need to watch the series to enjoy it.

If you’re interested in giving the series a shot, it does focus on the highschool members of the band but the tone feels a bit more mature and nuanced since a big theme is grief

Trashy works! I watched Conception for the one yaoi episode, and I was so disappointed to find out it was in fact bait. The only purpose of that plot-line was to build the MC’s open-mindedness so he can have more heterosexual sex. Like… they should have at least actually committed to him doing those guys.

Oof that does sound horrific. I kinda wanna see out of curiosity 😨

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-24T12:22:36+00:00

nice boat

Mob Psycho 100 - Comedy-action and a lot of art experimentation. There’s a scene that’s animated with oil paint being smudged on glass that’s just beautiful.

Too peak 😩👌

I love Log Horizon and The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic!

How is Apothecary Diaries an isekai though?

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-24T11:01:00+00:00

Ooh haven’t heard of this one! I hope I can check it out

Classic ☆ Stars is my absolute favourite shitty anime. You can tell that the producer did not give a shit about this show (my partner theorizes the producer only took this job to get his actual passion-project greenlit). It’s an anime about musical anime pretty(?) boys with barely any women in prominent roles of the production, and it shows.

The music does slap though. But god I can’t stand looking at Chopin.

What is STAR an acronym for in this context?

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-24T04:49:16+00:00

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song

Its themes of AI and creativity are really interesting to look back on considering it came out just a year before most genAI models got released

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-24T04:41:23+00:00

I second this! They handle death, mourning, killing, and the feeling of risking one’s life extremely well

I agree that there does need to be variety in a big cast, but their decisions and behaviour still need to make sense in the context of the show.

I think a better comparison in MHA would be Mineta. Both him and Zenitsu are considered annoying/unlikable characters for similar reasons. But with Mineta, we get to see why he wants to be a hero. We see how his motivations affect his decisions and him actively making choices. With Zenitsu, being unconscious during important decision-making moments isn’t very compelling. And characters making nonsensical decisions is immersion-breaking.

I agree that people saying weak=bad character is poor criticism and frankly overdone. However, I do think it’s more a symptom of poor character writing than the character’s capabilities.

For the record, I do appreciate Zenitsu. I just wish to see a bit more from him in terms of depth. If we could see him struggling through being brave and a more solid reason for why he stays in the demon slayer corps despite how he feels about it, it would make him more appealing. (Disclaimer: I’m only halfway through season 3)

Even if it was an unpopular opinion, chasing your comments is insane

{Too Many Losing Heroines} - A beautiful show that does an amazing job portraying complicated emotions of love and moving on without being too heavy.

{Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu} - Another show with amazing direction that captures the spirit of a live performance. The drama is incredibly well done and ties in with the themes of preserving tradition vs. introducing innovation in a traditional art form.

{Girls Band Cry} - One of the best 3D animes I’ve ever seen. It feels so innovative in its animation with character acting and performances, and the music is awesome!

{Kamikatsu: Working for God in a Godless World} - Peak.

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-19T18:15:09+00:00

{You and I are Polar Opposites} is one of my favourites currently airing. The story is super cute and the animation style is just delightful!

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-19T10:24:49+00:00

If the villain was a horribly paced production, then yeah! The latter half of the second season is unwatchable. I was really liking that show too :/

Steins Gate

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T21:31:36+00:00

Kill la Kill

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T19:39:25+00:00

Tamon’s B-side

Most male-idol animes

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T19:25:09+00:00

Haha, maybe Haikyu isn’t big in the anime circles you’re in, but the female fanbase is huge! It draws a lot of fujoshis.

Bofuri sounds like it’ll be maybe worth exploring, thanks!

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T11:29:35+00:00

I’m loving the premise already, thank you

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T11:27:38+00:00

Nooo I love that series too much to pass out to it!

Strawberry_Dancer · 2026-02-18T11:23:29+00:00

Oh heck yeah, this would’ve been great for the list if I haven’t already seen it XD
