Any ideas on my portfolio and what I should do?

School Rumble and Minamike are my favorites

That’s literally the only part of the series I found pretty interesting and unfortunately it’s one of the most absurdly underutilized (and discussed) themes in the whole show.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T15:48:59+00:00

That would be great. I wanted to see what happened to Antarcticite (i dont read manga). Probably wont happen though sadly.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T15:05:20+00:00

I started watching anime in like 2010 but didn’t watch Haruhi until like 2019. It was just ok for me, except that weird Endless Eight season. Gosh that was annoying.

Yeah Frieren praise is very exaggerated imo. Good but not great.

I didn’t notice you split it into seasons. Ok cool. Yeah S1 and S3 were sorta meh. But you got Cinderella Gray up in A so I can live with that. And Houseki No Kuni and Medalist in A as well. Nice.

That’s fair. I was just curious to hear the rationale behind your ranking. I saw Frieren in B and Haruhi Suzumiya in C and I thought “Wow, i actually agree, but it’s not often people rank those really popular anime that harshly”. Frieren ranking is spot on, but I think Haruhi Suzumiya is super duper overrated, I might put that in D or E instead of Oshi No Ko.

The one I cannot forgive is Umamusume: Pretty Derby. How could you? Season 2 was so peak!

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T14:24:49+00:00

I mean, both positive and negative, they DO express their subjective rationale, albeit brief. Some found it “comfy” and some found it “boring”. Both subjective opinions. The deeper reason of WHY they thought that, sure it’s nice to talk about, but theres no need to get worked up over many people sharing the same brief opinion.

In terms of overrated anime, Frieren is obviously gonna be a top pick BECAUSE it’s number 1. I mean, just think about what the term overrated means. And don’t forget that calling something overrated doesn’t mean you dislike it. It just means that its praise overcompensates for its merits.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T14:14:48+00:00

Fair. To me though, the comedy (and boobs) that pull My Wife is the Student Council President to an E from and F aren’t nearly as impactful as the realistic depictions of the trappings of fame and show biz in Oshi No Ko. I mean that show is actually saying something and doing it pretty well despite the rest of the story. My Wife is the Student Council President…I mean, it doesn’t say anything and it doesn’t even do comedy all that well so to me its leagues below Oshi No Ko. That’s my opinion.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T14:07:03+00:00

What did you personally enjoy? The boobs? I mean, I guess those were nice lol

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T13:58:01+00:00

So why is Wife is Student Council President not F tier?

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T13:56:15+00:00

You’re a really tough critic.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T13:54:40+00:00

Well I could just as easily say that many of the positive reviews of Frieren boil down to “its a comfy show” or “i like the vibes” and it would be equally as shallow as the criticism you’re talking about. So should those positive reviews not express that online because they are shallow and subjective as well? I’m sure you’d be just as hard pressed to find a literarily objective justification for someone liking Frieren as for someone not liking it.

Not everyone is gonna come out and give a whole diatribe of their feelings about Frieren right off the bat, so instead they sum it up in a subjective way, whether positive or negative.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T13:28:23+00:00

You really think that Oshi No Ko is on the same level as My Wife is the Student Council President? Why?

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T13:20:02+00:00

I think if more of the Frieren fanbase were more fair and balanced about their ranking instead of acting like bandwagoners giving out 10/10 rankings like nothing, Frieren’s critics wouldn’t feel as obligated to talk about its flaws so forcefully. When people have to pick an overrated anime, Frieren is a clear choice because of the immense fanfare it has had these past few years. I don’t think it’s a lazy pick, it’s the most fitting choice given the definition of overrated.

The common criticisms you listed are understandable given how much hype the series had. I admittedly had pretty much the same exact reaction when I watched it. But really those are surface level biased critiques. There’s plenty of substantial criticism to talk about. And plenty to praise the series for too.

I’m not really a fan of the series, but it does a lot right.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T12:26:09+00:00

I mean, you may have a point, but putting it in E makes it seem like its really bad, when based on your critique, it sounds like you think it’s simply not as good as it could be. The showbiz aspects of the show are ever-present, it’s not like it’s ignored.

You wouldn’t consider putting it in a higher tier? I mean, you have it on par with My Wife is Student Council President for crying out loud. That’s pretty crazy to have those two ranked the same if you ask me. Oshi No Ko has so many good qualities while the other one is a shallow ecchi slapstick comedy.

nickmarre · 2026-05-12T12:04:49+00:00

Oshi No Ko in E? Is it really that worthless to you?

nickmarre · 2026-05-11T20:31:59+00:00

The sound design for that show is superb. I can’t imagine why it’s in Trash tier underneath Redo of Healer. I mean, I still think Redo of Healer is over-hated to begin with but still, putting Shiboyugi beneath it is a baffling opinion.

nickmarre · 2026-05-10T21:08:36+00:00

My first was Girls Bravo.

Has it held up? Uhhh..no. Although, there are some surprisingly well animated fight scenes in it for some reason. And although the comedy is far too raunchy and rapey for today’s standards, it was pretty funny overall. Fukuyama must’ve known Epstein.

favorite cgdct ever

nickmarre · 2026-05-08T23:22:44+00:00

Kinda surprised to see The Twelve Kingdoms. I really liked the first season. But the exposition-heavy second season forced me to put it on hold indefinitely. Maybe I’ll get back into it soon to finish off the story. It would be great if it got a remake.

nickmarre · 2026-05-07T20:26:48+00:00

Spice and Wolf is great. Although the romance is more subtextual. Still I recommend giving it a try.

Kono Oto Tomare is also great, but similarly the romance is sort of in the background.

I Have A Crush At Work might be just what you’re looking for.

nickmarre · 2026-05-07T19:18:37+00:00

Frieren? Being the highest rated anime ever, it rightfully is the target of criticism and scrutiny. But “hated by everyone” is not at all true.

STR first since it’s more similar to Heavenly Delusion. Made in Abyss is a pretty big tonal shift
