Lmao, idk man. This guy was just insane and kept grasping at straws & assuming random ass things about me

Nice review on Bakemonogatari.

Fantastic write up for Gurren Lagann, you really hammered home how shallow the show is.

My native tongue is Spanish! I learned English out of my own volition and necessity. Thanks for the compliment! Being self-taught is fun and cool, but it also brings some issues, such as not knowing proper punctuation or certain grammar rules. I have been using it for more than ten years, but I am still learning things and correcting mistakes.

That is a shame, but I get why you gave up on trying to publish it, lol. I am surprised I havent gotten hit with the deletion hammer honestly. The only thing I've gotten was a very small review edit by a moderator, which was completely fair as it was score-related, back then I didnt know that such a thing wasnt allowed. (￣o￣)

NGL this part of your Gurren Lagann review:

"With that, Gurren Lagann “answers” Evangelion in the same way that a crippling meth addiction “answers” obesity. Whereas Eva’s message felt sage, empathetic, and grounded, TTGL’s thematic messaging feels reckless, shallow, and dangerously divorced from reality. If you think “just be happy” is genuinely good advice for a person in the throes of grief or depression, then I imagine you love TTGL and think it’s “peak.”

TTGL is about as representative of “humanity” as professional porn is of sex. My point is, it’s not all just beautiful people with crazy proportions going at it in spectacular and ridiculous positions. Ugly people fuck too. Sometimes sex is uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s a messy and unfulfilling affair. Gurren Lagann only represents the “best” of humanity - our sexiest qualities; our fighting spirit (spirals anyone?), our ability to overcome seemingly unconquerable foes, our ability to work together for the greater good, etc. Therefore, any attempt at a commentary on “humanity” as a whole just feels false and hollow. It's easy to cherry pick our best attributes and ignore the rest, but that only really leaves you with half of the picture.

Let’s bring it back to reality for a moment. “Kick logic out the window and do the impossible!” You know why that always works for Simon? Because he has a bunch of writers making SURE it always works. Any harebrained and suicidally brazen scheme he has, no matter HOW poorly considered, will go off without a hitch because the universe will always contrive a scenario in which it has to. This reasoning, in real life, if you’re sane, will get you killed. Or, and bear with me on this one, will lead to a successful Presidential campaign."

Never gets old lol. You managed to sum up one of my biggest issues with TTGL in such a succinct way. I really need to learn how to put my thoughts like this. English isnt my native language so it can be hard sometimes

Also, I hope you're able to get your Kusuriya review back on the website.

I havent gotten to Takopi yet! I'm still busy with the Re:Zero train... I didnt get to it years ago so I'm catching up to it now.

Good monogatari review im tired of pretentious retarded monogatati fans

los pollos hermanos

based eva and nhk enjoyer but hoooly shit you come off like such a pretentious disrespectful douche bag in the csm movie review. can not be bothered to read your 1 out of 10 war and peace gurren lagann critique but I imagine its just as awful
you portray yourself in such a "fancy" way but you come off extremely disrespectful. you are seriously comparing some of the best sakuga in any anime to jingling keys in front of a babies face. absurd

Just watched the video you've linked. Holy shit its so bad

NO HATE SPEECH AGAINST MY MOEBLOB! 😠

Considering how much effort you put into the Kusuriya review, adding it to a blog post might be a decent compromise. I haven't seen the series (yuck), but the review certainly looks accurate and has some amusing parts.

Hello! Sorry for not replying to your last comment, I just forgot... I guess, I havent watched much anime as of recently; I was re-reading your TTGL review and I didnt remember if you had commented on my profile or not, even though your profile felt familiar, so I went to check and I noticed that I hadnt replied to your last comment.

"TTGL is about as representative of “humanity” as professional porn is of sex." I loved that. lol

Thanks! I like yours, and I'm glad you liked my review, it was written with a lot of vehemence indeed. I hate Gurren Lagann and it is up there as some of my LEAST favorite media ever, like, in general—I hate every aspect of it. So yeah, it was written with a very poisoned plum, with blood and tears as the ink.

I generally abide by nihilism too, so this anime is just my complete polar opposite, like in every way.

Also, I've noticed that you finished 86... my condolences, lmao.

What happened to your Kusuriya no Hitorigoto review?

Your Takopi review is spot on. You truly crystallized what I was thinking but couldn’t put into words.

Well, at least we know she didn't learn about emotions, and even then, that's only ever a point for the romance aspect of the series, other than that she's pretty cracked in all her stats :')

It's stated that she finds the drama in palace life because she's just THAT bored (or, something...I kinda forgot the reason they gave, but she does actively seek gossip from Xiaolan for a reason) which is what led her to her first murder solving thingy. And, for the government conspiracy theories, it's smoothly led into by the author but it's pretty much because her lineage is royal (and she has the attention of two extremely high ranked people) that she gets kidnapped, and probably more, idk, I haven't read that far, nor have I watched the anime in a long time. She just comes up on a whim about the government stuff through everything she had learned before like how you can interpret Ah-duo's words differently to how similiar Jinshi and Ah-duo look to Jinshi's birth getting switched (very convenient, ik) and says "nah, on second thought, lemme not think TOO much abt it" (which ties in to your 'little to no clues, yet immediate correct answers' point, which I unfortunately cannot defend myself as I do not see myself how it correlates at all to what she's supposed to learn as an apothecary, human nature, plants etc.)

Yeah, no probs, tho after this I'll either answer pretty late or just no answer at all, since, like you said, to each their own.
Also, like I said in my first comment, it's an anime site so there's no point in me wasting my energy in berating someone who doesn't share the same thoughts as me LOL XD

for the bandit thing, the anime heavily censored a lot of things but according to the light novel, her injuries were much worse, also, it wasn't her who did the talk no jutsu, it was Lakan who came to save her last moment (which, iirc is another point u made that characters come to save her when she cant or smth along those lines, which is a valid point, deus ex machinas are annoying, and maomao doesn't really learn much through the novels except for when she's with her adoptive father so i totally get why you'd think she's boring) but I can forgive her being the very BEST at what she does, because she's been trained ever since she was young all about poison and how to observe people to properly diagnose them, technically that would mean she has been training under her father for years (Maybe around 10 years), so I'm not surprised that she is really skilled at her craft

Plus, she is able to understand more about general society more than others because she was taught how to survive and read people and their usual motives and how to keep safe from them thanks to her sisters and dad (which is another thing I had forgotten to point out, it's stated in the LN and anime if I remember correctly that her sisters teach her for hours on end how to practice sex techniques, again, the anime doesn't just throw these out your face, they give the environment and then expects you to solve the reasons behind why she knows xyz.

But it IS true Maomao is rarely proven wrong, (though so is every detective MC in their own anime), its traditional they're the perspective you cannot doubt, after all. srsly tho, it is a little ridiculous how she can solve governmental conspiracies despite her character traits being ~actively avoids politics. but I assume it'd tie in with her knowledge of poisons and inherent human nature which then turns into "guessing" how the events of the murder turned out but not rlly knowing WHY the people did what they did, she has a bit of basic knowledge abt human emotions like jealousy and knows people would kill out of envy, but she doesn't think any deeper than that.

As for the name one thing, when she returns home for the first time and makes the mistake of telling them to get water for her, this shows there are people who are smarter than her and she can make mistakes, it's not groundbreaking nor solid but I'll take what I can.

sorry if I was rambling or didn't make sense, I tried my best to be as respectful as possible while also comprehending your points. I can practically feel my English slipping away and used a copious amount of autocorrect on this so if I don't make sense feel free toa sk me to elaborate on a point or maybe I missed something ^^

this is an anime site so who cares but ur review of the apothecary diaries was pretty confusing imo, and no, maomao isnt a mary sue.
at least, no more so than other detective type characters. She is simply very good in some specific areas such as medicine, poisons and forensic analysis which are what she will need most in her work.

If you put Mao Mao against a basic bandit, most of the time she will lose.
A Mary Sue is a character who is the best at everything the plot requires from her sometimes even for no good reason.
Sometimes when maomao is good at smth maybe a bit beyond her knowledge, the plot will excuse it with "she was bored when she was young and learned this from her childhood" which is...pretty understandable but obviously trying to make up for the fact that the audience may question, "wait, how does she know this anyways?", but again, FOR NO GOOD REASON.
