HEY ALL! Hope you're having a wonderful week! Today I am OFFICIALLY bringing back "let's argue"! If you haven't seen it before, it was a series inspired by Anthony Fantano where I take all your hot takes and opinions about anime here on PATREON, and respond to as many as I can in a YouTube video!

Typically these will be restricted to specific anime, but for this return it can be an opinion/take about ANY ANIME you want! (that I've seen lul)

That being said, go drop as many as you'd like in the comment section of this post, drop likes on the takes you most want me to respond to, and have civil discussion amongst yourselves! :D

Dattebayo!

I think that One Piece is the best piece of fiction of all time. It has the best story, OST, characters, and world-building.

Acidicjoe

One Piece is better than Naruto

wugimara

Not necessarily a hot take, but Death Note should have ended with (you know who's) death.

Karp

In the 4 One Piece manga popularity polls before Marineford Sanji was in 4th place (during Baratie), 3rd place (after Alabasta), 3rd place (after Enies Lobby) and 3rd place (after Sabaody). I think Sanji is very overrated. So my question is: Is Sanji the most overrated character in One Piece?

Machopartygamer

One Punch Man season 2 is better than season 1.

Carter Schunk

I also think that One Piece is the best fictional work of all time, and if it weren't for the fact that it's hidden behind the stigma of it being manga/anime, which keeps a lot of the general population from being interested in it, I genuinely think it would be up there with things like star wars and marvel as one of the most popular fictional franchises.

Gus N

What's the deadline to submit takes? The rest of July?

Matthew Cunningham

Im not part of the fandom overall so this may not be a hot take but i dont see anyone talking about it much so Bit of a different one here but parasyte - the maxim is one of the best manga series and then anime series ever made hands down.

Zeee

-Abridged has its fun moments but it negatively affected DB, the perception of particular characters and made a section of people believe the jokes are what actually happened -Shippuden >> Boruto >> OG Naruto -One Piece is a unnecessarily long series that I personally wouldn’t recommend to anyone unless they profited off it or were picking it back up. Some of their fans can be very pretentious

Gus N

Watching dragonball gradually makes your brain become extremely smooth so that any discussion about anime regardless of series devolves into it's simplest form: powerscaling. It eventually gets to the point where you can only talk about whether an anime character can beat Goku or not. It's a really sad condition, I'm just posting this here to spread awareness.

DevTheRay

The merry is a "friend" is the worst writing in all of one piece and the scene where she "dies" is hilarious. It's like something ripped out of a show for toddlers and it's just terrible and stupid. It's literally made of tree corpses.

wugimara

In terms of story, I agree, but when it comes to animation it fell off heavy

JackTheBus

Probably going to be recording for this on Sunday so around then!

Zeee

Or, it’s a joke/meme.

DevTheRay

Dragon ball: Frieza saga is the worst saga by far and Buu is the best. Dragon ball fights are probably the worst of all of anime and always consist of punches too fast to see, screaming, talking, beam struggles, rapid ki blasts, or power ups. There is t much unique about any of the fights they're pretty much the same and not good.

Zeee

you’ve never watched anything dragon ball, and that’s okay.

DevTheRay

I've watched dragon ball, dbz, db super, and even gt. Played pretty much all of the games. Even watched all the movies. I've consumed all of dragon ball. The fights suck and so does Frieza saga.

yamina

I firmly believe that filler arcs in Anime are a good thing, even if they sometimes run into the issue of conflicting with Canon events later on. A well done filler episode can take the time to focus on/highlight a character to flesh them out or just allow us additional small moments between various characters interacting with each other. Or show what is happening somewhere entirely different from where the main cast is, to expand the world as a whole.

DevTheRay

Nami is the worst character in one piece and I can't stand her. Plus sanji's character is completely ruined by his obsession with girls.

DevTheRay

No it's Nami. She is trash

Zeee

calling them the same is disingenuous but okay

Paul Lopez

Bleach is better than most battle shonen. Bleach is so much fun and has cool abilities, outfits, characters and most of all music and art. I don't like One Piece art. One Piece is the most boring thing I have watched. Bleach also has the best soundtrack in battle shonen. My friends tried getting me into One Piece and i'm on episode 90 and it's so rough. My friends wanted me to watch the "supercut" episodes that are redone or whatever. But if you want me to get into the series, I have to watch it as it was released and the way most people watched it as kids to give a fair assessment. Guy Sensei should've died in Naruto after fighting Madara. Should've been a tie and Madara's death results in Kaguya's resurrection. Edit: BTW Guy is my favorite naruto character. Still think he should've died. The whole Kaguya twist sucked but I feel what I wrote would make it more bearable. As for Guy, he basically became what Naruto the MC represented. Hard work overcomes talent and destiny. Now he doesn't do anything in Boruto. Itachi's backstory screams constant rewrites throughout the series. Kishimoto wanted him to become a villain but changed him midway through the series into making him into more of an anti-hero role. Itachi literally beats the crap out of Sasuke almost killing him. Itachi was constantly doing stuff to stop the leaf from interfering with the Akatsuki plans. Sure, one could argue it was for his cover, but some of it gets ridiculous. That whole crow thing with Shisui's mangekyo and shoving it in Naruto's throat is the point where I feel Itachi's character was rewritten.

fernando garcia

My hero Academia pacing is so bad , Deku goes from hurting himself for 4-5 seasons then in the most recent season he just learns 3 new powers from one for all . Plus Deku is a boring character with side characters being infinitely more entertaining than Deku . Also I’m glad Bakugo bullied Deku , he deserved it

KZ

Boruto is shit. Idk why people still watch it

David Ramirez

Chainsaw man is better in the manga then JJK but JJK anime is peak

josephryan68

imo Goten was an unnecessary addition in DBZ as he was set up to be an equal to Trunks, when I feel it would've been nicer if we had more of a Gohan and Trunks dynamic like the Future timeline. I do appreciate that he gave us Gotenks though 🙏

tha_hermit

if demon slayer didn't look pretty no one would care about it. the animation is nice but everything else about it is insanely mediocre

tha_hermit

the pain arc is very overhyped. the decision to kill the whole village to raise the stakes and then wave your hands and go "hey everyone's okay they're all back" at the end completely obliterates any sense of tension or stakes for the rest of the series. also itachi sucks my dingaling and was clearly not intended to secretly be a good guy for most of the time he was alive.

tha_hermit

100% w you on the Itachi thing, Kishimoto literally had to retcon the Uchiha into being genetically evil so that Itachi wouldn't seem like a complete monster. It's insanely contrived

Xander Phoenix

Does filler do more harm, than good? We all usually hate filler cause it’s not canon and goes on forever. However, the purpose usually is to give enough time for the manga to create enough content to animate. Most are always skipped when watching, but it gets a bad rep. However, would filler be good if it was not a cash grab, but also utilized to keep a series relevant to the public eye? I know there are OVA and ONAs but usually no one sees or has access to them. Imagine the long hiatuses between some anime seasons. Many fans fall off cause it had been 2, 3, 4 years since they saw an episode and the hype died down as did their interest.

tha_hermit

this is probably the hottest take in this whole post I'll give you that lol

KaidoKarp

Goku is one of the best written anime protagonists, and does not deserve all the hate for him being dumb. He may have childlike naivety, and innocence, but this completely fits his character. He may be unaware of consequences of his actions such as giving cell a senzu, and leading to the creation of the tournament of power. However, many of his decisions have been good (letting vegeta live, allowing for many characters to redeem themselves and become his friends (tien, piccolo). Overall, he may be somewhat naive, but he knows when to be serious, and he has an insane battle iq. Compared to other dragon ball characters (ie, Gohan, who is plain boring), Goku is very well written.

DevTheRay

DEAD TREES DIE AGAIN

DevTheRay

I'd say Goku is by far the worst character in dragon ball and is a horribly written character. Man literally revived someone worse than hitler for no reason

DevTheRay

I would say the side characters are some of the worst in shonen history and Deku is a pretty good mc. So... the opposite lol. Tbh I don't really like mha that much anyways.

Paul Lopez

yup, a lot of people probably wouldn't even like him if he just stayed the villain I think he was originally meant to be. Like he still would've been popular but not to the same degree as he is now or someone like Madara or Aizen

DevTheRay

One piece flashbacks are boring and every time the show tries to make me cry it fails because it always involves characters I don't care about at all.

Condor7215

Why is Goku your favorite Anime Character?

DevTheRay

Vivi is a trash character and It's a good thing she didn't join.

Sonon

Nami and Chopper have yet to do anything that shows they deserve to be on the crew, Any other doctor or navigator could step in and fulfill their roles just as good.

DevTheRay

That's just straight up wrong. Like you are factually incorrect. Nami is by far my least favorite character in the show but she is the best navigator in the world and chopper can make antidotes for poison that would take other people weeks to years in a couple of hours.

DevTheRay

Making girls that look like children and saying they're adults just so you can sexualize them is disgusting and shouldn't be done. This happens far too often there are way too many girls like that like Tornado or Elaine.

Sonon

How are you determining that Nami is the best Navigator in the world. She's following a log pose, and before you state she is able to read the weather, I would agree with you if the grand line wasn't known for such phenomenon and other navigators have made it just as far as the straw hats. I'll admit my opinion for Chopper is a little biased, but Chopper is a doctor with very little experience. When has it ever been stated that he can create antidotes that others couldn't do just as fast. Seems like a pretty anecdotal agrument.

Zeee

Yeah you’re just stupid

Zeee

All that and DBZ is still more loved than MidPiece

Zeee

It’s literally a reason why it was done. Maybe you couldn’t understand that past “gimme death”

Zeee

I agree about OP

Gilli

OG Dragonball fights have some of the best choreography in all of anime.

Ant

Boruto should have never existed, just make a good story in the first place and don’t go chasing more money. I believe in Oda to never let two piece happen, he’s got class 😒

Ant

Skypiea plot and the backstory with noland and kalgara is one of the best arcs/flashbacks I’ve seen- idc what the arc skippers have to say

Ant

Nami is NOT a second Sakura, y’all Sakura would sink our ship immediately

Ant

Jimbei is a good, strong character- idk why so many people hate him

tha_hermit

it doesnt matter if you can explain the exact mechanics behind everyone coming back to life. having a big shocking moment like konoha getting erased and then completely undoing it by the end of the arc is just bad storytelling because it demonstrates that you are willing to walk back on any event that happens for the rest of the story, even the biggest most impactful events possible. if Kishimoto didn’t want to actually commit to killing Konoha off then he shouldn’t have done it to begin with. it’s trying to have your cake and eat it too. honestly the threat of a villain who was capable of killing jiraiya felt like sufficiently raised stakes to me

Ant

Zoro would ultimately win in a fight against Sanji, it’d be a close fight but he’d get it done

Dylan Foley

the one piece pacing is perfectly fine in the anime; it only gets bad after episode 700 or so, but everyone claims it's worse before that

CrimsnFang

idk that's pretty fair, not sure what episodes those are but Dressrosa arc is where it started getting real slow for me

CrimsnFang

Idk how caught up you are and can't say much so it doesn't get spoiled for Jack, but Chopper has made an antidote and replicated it in literal anime time minutes and saved many many lives with it. And if anything i would say Usop is the most useless one, sniper sure, whatever, gets his ass kicked all the time and runs and hides more then Nami or Chopper

CrimsnFang

i would rather more time and budget on the actual arc then fillers, espessially when fillers are added mid arcs in a form of extra scenes where all you get is people screaming and running away, buildings getting demolished or power struggle for like 5 damn episodes in a row, then back to a short fight of a few move exchanges and then back to more of those types of fillers

CrimsnFang

i think todoroki has the most interesting story in the anime, Bakugo and his development are well written as well, but other then that, no real interesting side characters that would be better then Deku. And Deku did struggle with the whip, but he trained to use all the new quirks he unlocked, plus he was already used to using OFA so it makes sense he had easier time with the new stuff

Josh

Depends on who’s writing it. If it’s Gege Akutami he’ll manage it somehow. If it’s any other mangaka, then heck no. I’ve never seen an author have more of a boner for their own character before. And the fans seem to eat it up.

Josh

Don’t you mean Isekai? Kappa

Sonon

I'm currently on 977 so almost caught up, and I agree that they all earned a place now., my assessment was based on Jack's location in the series, Usop got a spot on my list due to his fight with Perona, a feat that was exceptional and very few others could have done. Plus i gave him a "bonus" point for his friendship with Kaya, and getting the Going Merry.

Josh

Oh jeez, imagine Sakura trying to navigate into the Grand Line. *Sails straight into the Red Line* “…And they never found the One Piece.”

Jacob2

Mob beats Buu but Kid Buu beats Mob

Trelew

If Buggy had the Muggy Ball back in Orange town, the series would have ended.

Josh

Bakugo is the only character I like because he’s the only character that has actually developed in a meaningful and well paced way.

Josh

Itachi going along with a plan to kill his entire family and clan makes him a genocidal maniac, not a hero. Also, he abused his brother physically and mentally and claimed he loved him. Worst character.

Josh

Has Nami been rated highly? I only see hate for her everywhere I go (except for Oda who even married someone that was cosplaying her lol).

Josh

Drum Island was peak One Piece.

Josh

Jujutsu Kaisen should be renamed to “I only care about one character. And his name is Gojo.”

Josh

Okay, I’m done lol.

Xander Phoenix

Now that Franky is doing shipwright work and engineering, Usopp is kind of pointless aside from comic relief.

Josh

This is my favorite hot take.

Santzu

That's just wrong. The fights started to get good after 80 episodes and even then there's so much standing still, extremely slow and boring punches, reused animation etc

Santzu

Dragon Ball Super is better than Dragon Ball Z

Blaster man1129

especially once they get into the new world

Benny Arnold

I watched one piece when I was a lot younger. I didnt have as much of a grip on world-building, scaling, and just other components that go into a show. So my question to you as a caught up viewer, do you think Whitebeard is living up to his Yonko Status? There are things I wish Oda did differently, but I'd love to hear your fresh viewpoint! Rewatching marineford with you does make me realize how much of a beast he is, especially with his sickness coming in.

Benny Arnold

I've never watched FMAB but I know it's put on a high pedestal, is it in your top 10-5?

Truz

How are all your takes so fucking bad mate

Truz

Another garbage one jesus christ

Truz

Demon Slayer feels like they made the main characters be weird for no reason at all and it feels like a show made not for teens but kids

sorisyau

The Nami hate-wagon needs to stop. She’s by far not my fav character but without or any other navigator the straw hats wouldn’t have reached half of the destinations they did.

Grammeland

And there we go with the Sakura hate for no reason except it is the "joke" of the internet

Grammeland

If this was true then the manga would not have been so popular

Grammeland

He did not just go from hurting himself to completly fine, you see his progress as he learns full cowling and slowly increses his output, in seadon 6 He can still only to 45% and the powers he gets arent some overthetop quirks that would destroy his body, for instance float makes perfect sense for him to easily use as not only it isnt a complex quirk but he also trained with ochako in 0Gs

Shuckleknuckles

i mean shonen by definition are targeted towards young boys so you right its not made for teens more pre teens

Truz

Not really thats why most well known characters are 17 or 15 (naruto, luffy, eren) while demon slayer and mha they look like fucking 8 lmao

Ant

Haha calm down I don’t hate her, her character just doesn’t really do anything for me until shippuden

Xeth

I think it’s pretty obvious that Zoro is stronger than Sanji, Oda couldn’t make it any clearer. The Sanji fans attempting to power scale him as equal are watching/reading a different story 😜

Xeth

Terrible take about OP 😝

mathgofast

ok here it comes im ready for the hate fairy tail is actuelly a good anime

Hbby

Just like every fan base has its bad and good

Hbby

One piece is a binging anime. The pacing is bad once you’re caught up and watching weekly, but when binging, the pacing is up to you. -I wish I could erase my memory to rewatch one piece when it’s ends.

Maximus

Boruto haters have no valid points and just compare it to naruto.

Seth Comfort

One piece has a better plot and world than Naruto, but the fights in Naruto are choreographed way better

Harold Evans

4kids One Piece is better then the Sub and Funimation Dub no question

DevTheRay

because I actually have a brain unlike most weebs

CodeVANIE

Demon Slayer's Visuals is TOP TIER but everything (story, flow, story telling, power system etc.) is TRASH.

CodeVANIE

I'm starting to watch Naruto for me to know who's the best anime among the BIG THREE. Why the hell the first 25 episodes of Naruto feels like all fillers?

Dawit Negash

super sayian god is cooler than blue 💀

Santzu

DBZ Abridged created so many misconceptions and did a lot of damage to the community. Like people saying Goku is a bad father and that Piccolo is Gohan's "real father" because of DBZA, people thinking Goku is way dumber than he actually is etc.

Xander Phoenix

What’s more impressive/effective? The Gum Gum or the Bungee Gum?

Andrew Gerardo

That is quite wrong as someone using the internet pre Dbza bad dad was around waaay before starting with the Saiyan saga where we see him raised by piccolo and goku not spending any time with him till the Cell saga half way through. Now were there circumstances preventing them from being together? Yes but that doesn’t change that the only time they spend together is in the RoST and even the anime had to add filler cause we don’t even see them together that much in the manga. Also goku is technically dumb he is a farmer who lived appart from civilization and never got an education he is just a smart fighter.

Santzu

It wasn't nearly as popular, and Piccolo did not raise him, Goku did for 4 years before Raditz came. Piccolo abused him, starved him, forced him to fight and train, left him alone with dinosaurs for months etc and after the saiyan saga, we literally see them do something together once (train Gohan with Goku). And yes Goku isn't booksmart but he isn't stupid. He can think very quickly and even faster than characters like Bulma, Krillin and Trunks, gets used and adapts to things very quickly and has a good memory.

NixNax

The most useful thing Vivi did was indirectly be responsible for Mr. 2 being sent to Impel Down since he helps Luffy later. She doesn’t actually do anything and I don’t understand why people like her. Karoo was great though.

Errikto479

The oversexualisation of female characters is keeping the general population away. When my mother saw me a dew years ago watching one piece she thought i watched or porn or some other nsfw shit

Akainu

I don't see how a princess(not some warrior or superhuman) infiltrating BW, finding out crocodiles identity, being a massive help on the ship, helping luffy develop as a captain, and forming bonds that lead the group who defeated BW to alabasta is doing nothing. "Everyone has what they can and can't do" is on of the core themes of one piece, she was never supposed to be a fighting powerhouse. Karoo and the duck squadron don't come though without her either, so even that point is usefulness.

FinnKedinn88

Bleach is among the few anime I started only to quit a few episodes in, boring af, and in its action bits its beyond mid, I even checked later episodes thinking it took a bit to get to the good bits, hell was I wrong. I made it through "believe it!" naruto, god awful early asta in black clover, and even suffered through all of season 2 promised neverland, bleach is by far the worst, not to mention its creepy fanbase

FinnKedinn88

jimbe deserves so much more credit than the fanbase gives him

FinnKedinn88

he did and blew up half the town

FinnKedinn88

by the time it ends, that tech may exist. Oda said he is planning on wrapping it up in 5 years, he said the same thing 4-5 years ago. Im betting at the very least 7 years before its over

KINGxRED248

remember bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

KINGxRED248

cant wait for jack to meet @NixNax avatar in like 2 years

Samuel Grassman

dragon ball and fairy tale are the two worst shounen in existence

Samuel Grassman

fairy tale is the single worst show ive ever watched in completion. lol

Samuel Grassman

if you think the zabaza arc seems like filler youre going to hate og naruto and naruto in general. Arguably the best part of og naruto'

Samuel Grassman

oda himself said he isn't great at writing fight scenes so i dont think this is a hot take

Samuel Grassman

death note kind of sucks. The writing gets really bad towards the end. And light, for all of his supposed genius, is an idiot. Why is he taking out criminals expecting to create a new world? You're telling me the top student in Japan has never read any theory? He is attacking the symptom of the problem and not the root problem itself. Take out the billionaire ruling class, those who own the means of production, and the source of all oppression is eliminated. Code geass is everything death note should have been and lelouch is miles better as an mc and antihero.

Perfect Yarn

nah this one has to be ironic

Perfect Yarn

Spoiler . . . . . . . They would have been absolutely screwed without him in Dressrosa though

Perfect Yarn

Who tf hates Nami? Nami is amazing, the only thing that sucks about her is how oversexualized she gets sometimes.

Perfect Yarn

I liked early fairy tail and I've heard the end is good, but aside from right after the TS it has some really weak parts in the middle section from a writing stand point.

Perfect Yarn

that's why you read the manga when you're on the weekly grind.

Perfect Yarn

Nami might just be the single most important crew member to their survival, not when they're fighting but the majority of the rest of the time. They pretty much had to completely pause their journey when she got sick after Little Garden

Perfect Yarn

Nah the Muggy Ball is the smaller version with higher power that he used in impel down.

Perfect Yarn

That just sounds like you aren't enjoying One Piece

Perfect Yarn

Jack is in marineford though... so Usopp already fought Perona a while ago where he is.

Perfect Yarn

They pretty much breeze through the grand line thanks to Nami. She's an amazing navigator where Jack is and she's a significantly more amazing navigator later on.

Perfect Yarn

I absolutely hate when filler is interspersed with canon material, that honestly ruined logue town in the One Piece anime for me. Otherwise they're cool.

Perfect Yarn

IDK how you can be bored by One Piece personally, but the series does kind of get more and more action packed and insane as it goes so if that's why you're bored then you have something to look forward to.

Perfect Yarn

Nami was number 3 in the biggest One Piece popularity poll ever done.

Perfect Yarn

If only the animation was as good as season 1.

Perfect Yarn

No Fucking way you rate OG Naruto the lowest it's the peak of the series for me.

Perfect Yarn

OG Naruto is by far better than Shippuden and of course better than Boruto. The Sasuke retrieval arc is the peak of the whole series for me.

Perfect Yarn

The Original One Punch Man webcomic has better/more interesting art than 90% of manga out there.

NixNax

Fair points, she did help push the plot forward but in my opinion she just didn’t do anything that would have earned her a place as a straw hat other than being friends with the crew. Not about fighting, I get not everyone has to be strong. But what did Vivi do that ONLY Vivi could have done? Personally I just don’t get why she gets put on such a pedestal. Plus she tried to kill Laboon, unforgivable lol.

NixNax

@KINGxRED248 that’s going to be so hype.

Perfect Yarn

One Piece has an amazing art style and many people who let that hold them back from watching it are just using the same stigma that prevents many people from watching anime in the first place; "it looks like a cartoon and cartoon = not worth taking seriously." That's the exact mindset that prevents animated movies from being taken seriously by many in the west.

Perfect Yarn

after reading the rest of the comments, apparently many people.

Perfect Yarn

I think you just aren't great at judging age.

die kokosnuss

Rating Anime will only destroy your enjoyment of the medium. After a while you will only think about what rating you should give an Anime instead of just enjoying it as is. Thats why even if you are using websites like myanimelist you should only use it to keep a track record of what anime you have watched aqnd on wich episode you are on and not rate them.

SquirtingSquirrel

During the Marine Ford War arc, Jimbei and Ivankov acted like Luffy's actual parents

DevTheRay

Nope. I love one piece and am rewatching it all right now. Whenever a flashback starts playing I just skip that garbage and continue to enjoy. Don't know why people like you say stuff like that it's just wrong.

DevTheRay

Naruto fights > HXH fights > black clover fights > one piece fights >family guy fights > dragon ball super fights > food battle by smosh > random kids fighting in real life > Dbz fights

sorisyau

You already saw just in here those comments and there are many, but I agree with you 100%.

Dylan Foley

zenitsu is not annoying and expecting every character to be a confident "gigachad" IS annoying

Dylan Foley

eren and mikasa are a terrible ship, she works so much better as eren's sibling protector with just a fierce loyalty rather than any romantic undertones

Dylan Foley

uraraka and deku are also a terrible ship, I love my hero but horikoshi writes women so poorly I have no interest in uraraka or her relationship with deku

Dylan Foley

boa hancock is the best female character in one piece

Bigsly

Simp characters like Sanji, the purple ball dude from MHA, Zenitsu etc. are pointless, extremely annoying tropes that distract from the story, and should never be in any anime

NurEinLostie

top 3 for me just perfect from start to finish

Benny Arnold

yeahhhh not liking something does not equal bad writing but.

Liam Bevis

Goku actually isn't a bad father people just decided to make him one forgetting the times he's died for his family and had faith in gohan to beat cell to the point he knew healing cell gohan could still win

yamina

That's fair, everyone has their own oppinion after all! :D Personally I love these expansions, especially when it adds additional material in moments like the example you gave. To me, it made it even more memorable because it gave a moment to everyone in ways that I was missing in the Manga.

Masdabazz04

Super Rookies Saga of one piece is better in anime than manga, but new world saga is vastly superior in the manga

Masdabazz04

mha vigilante arc had so much potential but they ruined it by basically using deku as a springboard for other characters. I really wanted it to get dark, maybe deku could have seen some of the more messed up things of the criminal underworld

Masdabazz04

Mushoku tensei s1 is great but overrated

Psyko9320

KnY and JJK as a whole are actually pretty mid, all thanks to the animations only though. Besides that, the plots, world buildings, or character developments are just boringly mediocre. Overall, they are the most basic shounen things that you can think about it and they should not be overhyped this much.

chrisis

Dragon ball relies on so many ass pulls and is extremely convoluted sometimes

Annelies Michiels

Gecko Moria is the greatest character in all of One Piece. I will not elaborate on this. Thank you.

Tabernath

Dragon Ball Super was ruined when Trunks defeated Zamasu with a broken sword.

SquirtingSquirrel

Buggy is hands down the funniest character in One Piece, Marineford wouldn't be the same without him (Fun fact: He's Oda's favourite character, that's why he is always failing upwards)

Talon Boice

luffy is a better and more likeable protagonist and has less plot armor then the other big anime like naruto, goku, ichigo

kyrohs

itachi is overrated asf (not saying hes bad tho)

kyrohs

naruto is underrated in his own show

Death Lot

(Naruto) The Haku and Zabuza problem was too rushed and more characters along that had similar cooping as something emphasizing the Haku existential crisis would have been way more impactful

Eternals Developing

This is very long, as all of my posts are. Only read it if you have the time and energy for it. TL/DR: The last fight in Naruto was bad and Boruto sucked, at least so far as I watched it. Also, reactors should watch OPs in animes when they appear in the show, not before or after, and they should focus on the video, not the music. Long version: No idea if I'm in time for this or not, and my opinion isn't really about any specific anime so much as it touches upon a common and, in my opinion, annoying trend among people who react to anime and people who watch those who react. So, my hot take, for lack of a better phrase, is that I really do not like it when people either watch openings to animes they are not watching yet in so-called "anime op reaction vids" or when they skip them in total. I know a lot of people claim that openings spoil future content, but that's bullshit and people who say that need to learn the difference between spoiler and teaser content. By that logic, reactors should also skip watching both trailers for future seasons and PVs for new shows, since they would also fall under "spoiler" content. In my opinion, OPs are put where they are in the show for a reason and so at least once, when it shows up for the first time in the actual show, should content creators watch and react to them. Also, although the music is good in most cases, the vast majority of songs in openings have little if anything to do with the show and the video is actually the important part and what it was designed for people to focus on while watching. If the above opinion falls too far outside of the theme, then here's a thought on something that falls closer to home, I should hope. I feel like the last boss of the Naruto show, Kaguya, came out of nowhere and was completely out of place. The whole show more or less built up Madara as the big bad, only to then yeet him and introduce someone new and completely unheard of for the final fight in the show. Now, I've heard we learn more of her and her species in the Boruto show, but I could only stomach something like 8 or 10 episodes of that before I gave up on it. Everything proceeded way to fast, the general mood and setting of the world was too different to the one setup in Naruto for such a short period of time to have passed, and all of the story lines, if we can even call them that, they explored in those episodes felt shallow and dull. At least by that time in the original show, they had properly introduced the main cast and established a world setting and some part of the history. I didn't even get the feeling of that from Boruto. I know the whole Naruto show serves as setting the stage, but the world in Boruto felt too different for that to make sense to me and overall it just didn't captivate me. I expected more from the people who wrote the original.
