Bloom Into You (2018)

Some of the most real characters I've seen

[9/10 · 5 March 2021]

This has some of the most in depth and developed characters I've seen in an anime. It's not just your standard Yuri, but it goes super in depth for each character and they feel fully real and I connected to them in ways I thought I wouldn't for any other character. This is a beautiful anime and it wastes no time in any episode.

The only reason this isn't a 10 is because it needs a second season to finish the story, I hope it gets more attention so it will get it.

Arrested Development (2003–2019)

Bringing it back was a mistake

[7/10 · 23 July 2020]

It was a near perfect show in the first 3 seasons with constant gold, and although season 4 wasn't the worst, it was a definite sign that the show was not what it was (mainly due to everyone's careers being so much bigger so it was hard to have everyone together). But season 5 really showed how fast this show can go downhill and it's one of the unlucky shows that got brought back after being stone cold dead and it coming as a brainless husk of it's former self. Again the first 3 seasons are a high 9/10, but the other two have to bring it down to a 7 unfortunately as you can't just ignore them unfortunately.
