  • 16bit Sensation: “This is an example of a series that started to fail from episode 9 but recovered something in the second part of the finale. Up until episode 7, it was definitely a masterpiece.”
  • Evangelion: “The original was highly criticized on the 2chan forums back in the day.”
  • Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu
  • Angel Beats!: “It’s not bad at the end, only the part before the end is bad, right? Although it was ridiculed, in the end, they met in the afterlife.”
  • Guilty Crown
  • Hibike! Euphonium
  • Chainsaw Man: “It was a total failure.”
  • Evangelion: “I can’t think of anything other than Evangelion.”
  • BanG Dream! It’s MYGO!!!!!: “Episode 13 was completely unnecessary.”
  • Code Geass: “The ending is legendary abroad.”
  • Old anime: “In older anime, you find everything. Usually Gundam, Macross, Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop. Quality anime like the movies Sword of the Stranger, Paprika, and Satoshi Kon. That’s the idea.”
