This is how I feel about Lycoris Recoil and the new Gundam lately as I feel they have been astroturfed by shitty western zoomers due in to no part because of yuri shipping. God knows how many anime movies I've watched that suddenly became the talk-of-the-town when once viewing, turns out to be shit.
I genuinely tried to give Witch a chance but I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t like any one in it and I just felt nothing for anything happening. It’s not like I don’t like Gundam or anything it’s the exact opposite thing, I like the franchise a lot. Rather see more autistic dudes killing people then lesbos I guess lol.
 
Lycoris was fine, but the shippers for that series made no sense since the only gay characters in it were the black dude and the evil white dude.
haven't finished it yet, but there was some "baiting" if you wanna go that far which imo was more chisato being chisato. also the all-girls agency and stuff probably has more people seeing things that were really there.

The story was clearly pushing the Yuri angle, and, considering the state of modern anime, if there is ever any future seasons, it is quite likely that the yuri subtext just becomes straight text.

See, thats what I mean with astroturfed. If the series was held with regular viewing and ample discussion without any clear bias/agenda, most would see it as a mediocre all-girls action anime but the yuri-shippers turned the popularity meter up and kept speaking about it, which lead to said mediocre show becoming the talk of the town. When I watched it, it was very mediocre with several questions regarding how their organization logically exists. Also, it made me hate yuri ten-fold.
Ooh you just reminded me that I screenshotted this review a little bit ago.

:story:
I actually didn't realize how Chisato seemed to dodge every single possible injury throughout the show until now. Also, it made me realize that another "all-girls organization"-esque manga exists, and it's called Gunslinger Girl, of course, the moment I mention this one, a swarm of GFL autists dogpile the discussion. Otherwise, really good find.
 
The new Tenchi Muyo OVA isn't that great so far. The story is okay and has the potential to go somewhere interesting, but currently a bit too surface-level for my tastes. There's a lot of filler that maybe doesn't need to be here. The animation isn't very good; I know AIC is broke as a joke at the moment, but I've seen CGI in mid-2000s anime that is better than the CGI in this anime. The spaceship exteriors have an egregious lack of detail, and the interiors are literally empty, undetailed areas with large windows (I don't mind the large windows) and a few CGI seats. So far the best thing the OVA has given us is a cat tree for cabbits and this great cabbit face:

Also, Lemon Angel Project's OP slaps. I was a bit creeped out by the first episode since there was a shower scene with a 16-year-old girl (this was rated PG-Children on Myanimelist by the way). I probably won't continue if there's more pedo coomcrap, especially since I watched this because of its PG rating.

 
The new Tenchi Muyo OVA isn't that great so far.

I gave up after the underwhelming 3rd Tenchi Muyo OVA series and that one was from almost two decades ago.

I'm sure the replacement voice actresses and actors are alright but I can't imagine watching new Tenchi Muyo episodes made after several of the main Japanese voice cast members have already either died or retired.

So an hour long cutie honey retrospective pops up on my feed. It was a video by someone named Randal The Vandal. Never heard of him. It was a alright video at the start. Then the faggot started crying about Homophobia, transphobia and sexism. Shocked that Cutie Honey has big boobies and lesbian jokes. Is there a Anime YouTube channel run by a white person who isn't a total faggot or Troon? If it's a black anime youtuber. Chances they will praise cutie honey for having cool fight scenes, big titties and funny comedy. Hispanics and Latinos youtuber will spend hours talking about cutie honey production history and fight scenes.
 
I recently made the mistake of trying to watch Kamikatsu. When I saw the first PS1 quality CGI monster it hurt, but I thought it could pull through. then the plot also appears to be shit, mainly because the writers couldn't figure out what they wanted this to be. I was ready to drop it when I saw this monstrosity at the start of episode 4, for context at the end of the 3rd episode they perfectly animate a man driving a tractor. where is the guy who did that, was he sick, did he die. How do you fuck up this bad it looks like a video of a farmer with a filter and a face drawn on, I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

I can't say how many people here actually fully watch the anime, but some here were amused or liked that farming part.
It's a low budget anime from a studio that mostly works as support or secondary to other studio for animation. You don't really watch it for animation quality or expect for it to get better. Although they somehow manage to score some notable JP voice actors for the show.
Storywise, some parts were re-arranged and cut comparing to manga, only 12 episodes so... Still if you check their twitter, this anime is probably their proudest product.

But I'll give credit for this one not being so current days run of the mill isekai - reincarnation anime/manga tropes. Like goody two shoes perfect male protagonist, using pseudo video game mechanic for fantasy settings.
Comedy parts have fan service, sex jokes, some to the point of humiliation or degrading, not really everyone thing.

I hope you at least watched this one in JP and not EN. Because they hire a MtF tranny to voice Loki/Clen (Kullen), and it isn't :lunacy: the first time this tranny (missing the Amazon Warrior role in Goblin Slayer) voices female characters in anime either.:lunacy:

Speaks boldly of how splintered anime fandom has become now amongst younger demographics. This guy better avoid anything Go Nagai-created if he could help it.

Demolition D+ was the only good one, but he was a bit of a yuri fag and had a mental breakdown about not wanting to be a media reviewer his whole life.

the only anime youtuber i follow is kenny laurendale. but he can count as that when all the anime he talks about are forgotten or lost?

dunno, all the shipping reeked of tumblerfags to me, or simply current year retards who are so mentally handicapped they are unable to understand a platonic relationship. "they hugged? THIS MEANS THEY WANNA FUCK!!!!!". same retards who think sam and frodo are gay for each other for some reason.

at least fujos stick to girly men...

I don't even get why they latched onto it so hard when assault bouquet lily had literally yuri (literally literally) and had none of that online reaction.

as for the quality, it wasn't too bad - but I got a soft spot for girls with guns, so I'm probably biased. how it works, either don't think too much about it or explain it with no future driver of a truck of peace expects getting offed by a schoolgirl. granted I still haven't finished it but that's how it was portrayed at least - general public didn't really know they existed, their job was basically clandestine wetwork to keep the order and peace, and if something became big enough it was another "gas leak" or something.
raising orphans for that is nothing new, it was marvel's black widow backstory too, or taking female convicts for it like in la femme nikita.

Its a Japanese anime where the two leads are single girls are extremely close to each other. In current year, and anime like that is ALWAYS designed with yuribait, if for no other reason than to cynically appeal to otaku. The only thing that varies is how subtextual it is.

as a moeshitter I gotta disagree, otherwise every CGDCT anime would be considered yuri.
