so between the last time i commented on an anime i've seen, you've posted a few (mostly in a row)!

- monogatari - absolutely unwatchable for me. i think i might have finished season 1 but it might have been just a few episodes? this visual style was atrocious and the protagonist was awful and i don't remember anything about it but probably couldn't be bothered to try it again

- my hero academia - yeah, this is around right for it - i thought there might be more to it (think i'm somewhere in S4-S5) but it kind of became clear it's "just a kids' show" at some point. that said some of the battles were still very enjoyable, especially all might vs one for all; the overall show itself just isn't super-gripping to me

- death note - don't necessarily agree on the best arc - to me it actually preceded the memory arc, which i found mostly overwrought until the payoff (which admittedly was tremendous). the back half of the show obviously isn't as good but i don't feel like it ruined it at all to me. suffered a little bit from its (necessarily) paper-thin cast.

- steins;gate - to me the first half was a lot more enjoyable than the second half; i really liked the slice-of-life with a twist. also wasn't particularly impressed with the main love interest as a character. i think when you drastically raise the stakes like S;G did at the beginning of its second half, you need more emotional variety, but its tone kind of just stayed there. that said - the final arc and solution was pretty neat and that's always a nice plus.
