There are some horrible opinions there. MHA S3 or Steins Gate 0 being the worst of the season? Fucking click bait bullshit. Hell, even in their reviews it's basically "It didn't live up to my unreal expectations, worst of the season!"

The guy who picked MHA S3 said this:

As usual, I sorta dropped things too aggressively this season to really have a clear worst

Of the shows I actually did stick with, My Hero Academia ends up as the worst of the season by default, and that actually feels pretty appropriate. While My Hero Academia is still a perfectly reasonable show...

The guy who picked SG0 said this::

This is one of those occasions where I didn't watch any series this season that I would consider to be outright terrible, so you can think of this more as a Most Disappointing Series of Summer 2018 award, instead.


Those reviewers literally say right in their reviews that those shows weren't the "worst" of the season. They didn't even say those shows were "bad" at all. They were just the least enjoyable or most disappointing out of the shows that they watched and didn't drop. So try reading what they say before jumping to conclusions.

Also, get reviewers who actually watched more than 5 series. Or even just title it something like, "My least favorite out of the series I continued to watch", because it is really bad to phrase it that way.

When a reviewer's point can be summed up in a single "this show was the worst" or "this show is bad" then it was probably not a point worth the time, anyways. These forms of writing like blanket statements to get viewership in the first place. It's more or less a roulette spin as to whether or not they actually had something worth saying

So I just got around to starting Octopath Traveler. Started with the Hunter character and was caught totally off guard by her and her village's localized dialogue. I mean, I don't have any particular problems with accent/dialects in localization, but having a forest tribe talk in early modern English feels... odd. And it clashes really badly with the Japanese VA.

So far I've done every character's Chapter 1. Enjoying it so far.

I've also finished Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo Volume 2. Really enjoyed this one, too.

The second volume is significantly different from the first, with a lot less focus on the protagonist simply killing people and more on war, internal conflicts, and the protagonist's relationships with people. I found the last few chapters to be quite emotional as well, what with the soldiers' struggles and how much the protagonist has changed throughout the story. The ending was what I'd call a "nice" one, considering the story's themes and the protagonist's goals.

I'd say its cons are that its side characters are more on the simple and comical side, with two in particular being the classic incompetent type (three side characters in particular are fairly well written though), and it doesn't use much of its fantasy elements (supposedly used more in the author's other works, which take place in the same world as this novel).

As for the pros, the protagonist is a given. She's entertaining, and her whole character ties in very well with the story and its themes as a whole. The text is fairly well written throughout, the food descriptions are on point, and the eating/celebration scenes are super comfy.

The only issue I ever had with it is due to the construction of the narrative, it never really is aware of the other characters present. Literally had a character talking about having to do everything on their own, while having a party of 4 present.

That doesn't math.

Well that's mostly because they wrote themselves into the wall when they decided every character but your "main character" is technically optional. Classic case of too much freedom leading to worse potential narrative

The banters were a way to remedy that. I think they're great, though sometimes the idea of them being trapped or all of them just conveniently being missing for some dramatic one to one scene of the focus character doesn't makes sense

So apparently, an anime I dropped this season got a massive spike in its MyAnimeList rating once it ended (which is the point where the rating stops counting people who scored it without finishing the series), meaning it got significantly better. It went up 1.36 points after the last episode aired, which is absolutely ridiculous.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/21877/High_Score_Girl

I might have to give this show another chance if it improved that much. Did any of you guys watch this show?

Finished Hanebado. That was... an experience. To summarize the show that's about Badminton in one picture:
https://imgur.com/KizY7En

I'm also officially awarding anime mother of the year award to Uchika Hanesaki, main girl's mom.

In a very brief nutshell:

Main girl loses a minor badminton match against an evil twintail ojou-chan who cheats to win regardless. Mother, who has no life, personality, interest, or thought other than badminton, in her disappointment, leaves her daughter, while she's sick, to her grandparents and then leaves the country. She then travels to and lives in Denmark, which is what you do when disappointed in your daughter, and immediately adopts a new daughter over there after one day and carries on teaching her legendary badminton skills to this new Denmark girl. Doesn't contact daughter or grandparents once, then 7 years later, sends Denmark girl over to Japan to crush her biological daughter in badminton. A now mindbroken daughter then goes on to become a giant bully that crushes every one else in the club and puts everyone down. Eventually, mother suddenly appears back home in Japan and the first thing she says to main girl is "How's the tournament going?"

Unexpected comedy of the season.

Holy shit. Yeah, I like my sports anime with way less drama and soul-crushing pain than that show had. That's why I watched Harukana instead.
