Hey I just want to say this about anime, just real quick

The good: one thing I can definitely give it credit for is its animation, it's incredible what they can do with anime animation, the stunning visuals, the amazing fight scenes, the unique looking designs, the smooth movements with the characters, there is just so much to admire with anime animation, it also helps with the amazing characterization a even short running anime have great characters to admire, their complex personalitys, the amazing voice acting, the way you grow to really care for them is nothing short of love able and they even create some fantastic villains, my favorites being major from hellsing and father from full metal alchemist, the story's in there are also amazing, they also do these great stories where you really get to know the characters amazingly and you get to know them as it progresses. Now that I got all that out of the way, the irony of all of the good also has a lot of bad

The bad: remember when I said the animation is incredible, well even with that even the best animated anime have lazy animation, there are many moments where the characters don't even move, or they just go all over the top and change their designs randomly. I also don't like it when they just stand still for like 10 minutes straight! It's fucking annoying! And then there are episodes that have the exact same imagery from the last episodes, I get that it isn't easy to animate, but that's just lazy! The characters while they are fantastic, they tend to all feel the same, there personalitys and even their designs feel like they are ripping off each other, and the woman are way too oversexualized, why do they always have extremely revealing clothes? Why do the men always get to have their full body covered while women are always extremely revealing, also the villains are also great but again they feel the same, just constantly raping, murdering, torturing, mutilating, and the biggest insult is that most of them are complete monsters! The bad guys are always downright insane even by real life standards, ex: shion sonozaki from higurashi, The unknown man from elfen lied, and akainu from one piece, who is just a generic power hungry general, and while the story are amazing, some of them are just nonsensical, higurashi has a plot that is so complicated that's it's nearly impossible to follow!

Final thoughts: there are some great things about anime but even then, there are some cliches that are extremely noticeable and sometimes even annoying.

Final verdict: 85 out of 100

Sorry that it was ridiculously long
