Best Character: Yasuraoka Hanabi

Premise: Two high schoolers, Yasuraoka Hanabi and Awaya Mugi, have unrequited crushes for their teachers. The two begin to date, each acting as a substitute for the one the other truly loves.

The Good: Scums Wish is unique, Ill give it that. Its a romance where the characters explicitly love other people and are using each other to fill the void. The story delves into the implications of that arrangement, as well as what it means to be in a relationship with another person in general. I liked Hanabi the most out everyone, she only barely missed my top 100 characters. She was flawed in a lot of ways and rarely made the right decisions, but that felt real for someone her age dealing with the things she was facing. She was also the only character who I felt had a satisfying conclusion.

The Bad: Akane ruined this anime for me. I liked her conceptually, shes a sexually promiscuous woman who gets off on hurting other people. I just hated how her arc progressed and concluded, which is hard to talk about without major spoilers. All Ill say is that everything about Akane is disappointing and not entertaining at all. She dragged everyone else down with her, too, so most of the characters in this anime have a conclusion that makes me angry.

Overall: Scums Wish was an infuriating anime in a lot of ways. By the end I wanted to fix it, to correct the blatant mistakes in its writing and turn an awful ending into a satisfying conclusion. It wouldnt have taken much! While prepping this ranking, Scums Wish was originally down in the 2/10s with the other romances I hated. However, while my lingering feelings towards this are negative, over time Ive come to appreciate it for what it is. At the very least, anything that gets me to think about it that much mustve done something right. Hanabi is also a good character.
