objectively bad? Green Green. If you don't believe me, just try to watch it. It was bad at the time, and it aged worse than Love Hina.

something I absolutely despised? Rosario † Vampire adaptation. For the first chunk, the manga was a dopey romcom with fanservice, and it was fairly generic and rather underwhelming. Then it did a 90 degree genre shift and became more of a battle shonen thing that was done quite well. The anime crew wanted to continue the with the dopey romcom shit and do so while bringing in the newer characters introduced in the manga after the genre shift. The only problem was that the anime crew had no idea how to write or direct something new and without the manga providing them a storyboard for the plot, and all of the new characters had their personalities altered in an attempt to better fit in with the dopey, stereotypical highschool fanservice part. It was a bad, and the writers and director should be shot.

the worst part is that I'm actually a fan of the 3 green green games but it at least had some stuff that was funny, stuff like girls bravo and boys be fits in there as well as crappy fanservice comedies that are just way too crude and often fail at just about every attempt at humor.
And on the note of stuff that didn't age well, sister princess really did not hold up even though I still enjoyed some of the dumb jokes.

The worst thing I've ever seen though was probably nekogami yaoyorozu (it only aired some years back, but it's just awful, in the art, sound, writing, voice acting) or infinite ryvius (the writing is just terrible).
Most the bad anime I've seen that's more than 20 years old was clearly made for kids so I'm able to forgive their issues on some level, but I'm sure of all the 90s and 80s OVAs out there, there are some really awful ones on par with musashi gundoh, md geist, and mars of destruction.

>nekogami yaoyorozu
I really wanted to like that anime when it aired, but they sure didn't make it easy. Personally I liked the art and thought it was cute, I think it even had a decent first ep. That's about all the nice things I can say for that Touhou wannabe. Because then the author self inserted hard and dragged the whole series down with them. It was mind blowing how far the creator had their head up their own ass. Their insert character couldn't have been more out of place, yet a large amount of the second half was dedicated to themselves with other characters helping her create manga as if that'd be cute or funny. Maybe if it was a 4th wall breaking gag comedy that crap might fly, but for Nekogami is was just weird and distracting. It'd be like getting halfway into a touhou game before being stopped by a 2D version of Zun who puts the story on hold and makes you to help him program the rest of the game. Like what the fuck? Go make a webcomic for that shit, don't ruin your story with it.

don't sweat cliffhangers & backstory in slices of life, nothing of consequence will ever happen, just relax & take is easy.

This never gets old.

i just finished watching Go and it was pretty good, though not as good as the previous seasons. i really wish they would show more reiko though or at least a backstory, i'm really interested to know how / when she died or how she lived her life (besides taking spirit's names)

>>29199
She gets a dedicated ep in season 6 as the mc, but yeah it's still amazing how little they've explored the character over six seasons. This show is nice and all, but it really moves at a snails pace.

>>27719
Well so much for that.
Still, it's really nice so I don't mind one bit.

A cross over ep! Awesome!
I for one welcome the Kodomo-anime cinematic universe!

I knew this ep wasn't gonna end well, but dang...

This was really sweet, although I do question the human's complete lack of hesitation. It's a tad concerning.

I hated Diana in the first season, but now I love her so much! I could talk to her for hours and feel comforted.

oh my

Nuclear Launch Detected.

Well that could have gone better...
yikes..

That was a pretty great ending. You know, I was really on the fence about this anime with it being too western feeling, but I started to enjoy it by the second half when the plot finally kicked in. That said, the second half could have used a lot more sucy.

I think Sola is also worth mentioning.

Did you watch Afterstory, which is a tearjerker masterpiece?

You could also check Princess Tutu.

I second, given your parmeters, Fruits Basket and Sola.

thats in träumend, not in the original RM (as stated in OP). Sorry to be a stickler about these things (not on your account, but on account of that ep, which I agree is very good), but that post shouldn't be in this thread, it should be in the träumend thread

fukkin plebs u can't hang with me - i'm getting out of this thread

>>29029
Kanaria is a great character.

>This is absolutely great.
No, this is just another generic moelove. If Japan had any sense at all they would stop making these shitty moe anime and start producing something good instead.

>>29048
I forgot moe**shit** is changed to "moelove" here.

>>29048
japs like cute, Americans don't, and japs don't care what Americans like or don't like. That should be common sense.

>>29048
At this point posts like these honestly seem to be delibrate just to stir some sort of conversation.

due to the season gap i got motivated enough to go find the hozuki no reistsu ovas i hadn't seen yet, very worth doing and good

fukkin season gap again

I had a bad habit of slowly falling behind with anime and end with a few ep left after the anime finishes, so this isn't so bad for me.

>>29019
regardless that, i still demand that you sympathize with my cause

Collest bird that I've seen in a while.

the animation quality and art style alone had me sold from ep 1. It's a shame the animation quality took a nose dive in eps 11 and 12, but they made up for that in the beach epilogue.

The story not being garbage was certainly a plus, but wouldn't have really stopped me from watching it.

>>28988
For me the artstyle wasn't particularly notable. I feel like I've seen it a few times before, though I couldn't tell you where, I'm a bit under the weather at present so my recall is not as I'd like it to be. I liked the backgrounds and the colours though. That's what stood out to me about it. You make very valid points though, I think that the reason KF did knock my socks off while this was 'solid but not amazing' to me was that I was expecting KF to be rubbish while Granblue Fantasy started off with decent visuals and didn't appear to be a cheap, crappy adaptation.

I loved this anime, it was fantastic and enthralling, and I don't understand the general complaints it got regarding it being mediocre or having underdeveloped plot. I disagree entirely. The characters themselves are the usual cliched JRPG stereotypes, but they are all cute and charismatic in their own way, to the point those cliches don't feel that forced nor unauthentic, specially when you're supposed to take this series in as projection of how a JRPG would play as an anime.

For example, when they reach the second town, and the little cutie is there waiting for them, it reminded me of that typical NPC that is everywhere and gives you missions or chats. The world feels as alive as any good RPG and they projected perfectly the feeling of people (at least in my case) who really get into the game. With the art sytle, the instrumentation, the music direction, etc. it's impossible not to feel this was a love letter to RPG fans and it shows that the people who made it have a true passion for the genre. Starting from the first episode, the characters "defeat" (i.e. kill) the enemies with magical achievement, there is no blood and it makes you forget it as something that is relevant besides progression. Whatever can be said about this series in general, it has to be admitted that the people in charge understood fully the effect a game has on a player, including the mental gymnastics that the player applies to keep enjoying the game, and emulated that feeling perfectly.

With that said, the series ends on episode 12, and then the episode 13 is a warped, fan-service, retelling of the events using the female MC instead of the male one you have seen for the all the previous. I found very bothersome because there wasn't any indication it would happen, so I was excited for the last episode only to find it's a shallow, CGDCT version of what you have already seen, but with an entirely different character and story dynamic, which imho detracts from the overall series. Same goes for the 14th (special) episode that was bundled with one of the BDs.

The story progresses from the viewpoint of you projecting into Gran and becoming the JRPG hero. Li

>that this series will be more about the journey than the destination, which isn't a bad thing.

I get that impression as well. The series reminds me a lot of Mahoro.
Lots of absolutely adorable stuff. Also lots of not so adorable stuff, and it goes back and forth quite fast.

This is adorable.

I'm not really a fan of the witch, but we'll see where they take the story from here.

Well, that's certainly a definitive end to the series.
It's a shame this sold so poorly.

A full episode for the twins would've been nice, but having them thrown away and replaced with a girl that Sana literally just met is quite a slap in the face.
