Don't really understand the logic though. The 2nd half of death note, while not as good as the 1st, is still overall better than a lot of the animes he rated higher
@@chippplayer2724 doesn't really though. Near sucks but it was still good, considering Charlie's S tier standards it shouldn't have been enough to drop it down
@@Blurro I don't get how he can say bleach ain't good when he rates demon slayer A, bleach has depths and development unlike demon slayer which is all fighting and slaying demons Bleach actually has themes like how death, fear, problems is important to give meaning to life, aspects of death, nihilism, understanding and eccepting your true self, peefection is meaningless because there is nothing above it also he critises fillers in bleach which were better than naruto filler
@@attackoncake4851 Being a berserk fan as well as a hxh fan, I can tell you that the hxh hiatuses are longer than berserks by a long shot - so stay away unless you want to really see how bad hiatuses can really get...great show though, but seriously it won’t be finished.
@@attackoncake4851 If you liked the golden age ark you'll probably like chimera ant, its an s tier shonen arc, not as good as golden age but not very far either
I read the manga to try to see if the story continued or nearly finished. The anime ended around chapter 320. Chapter 1-320 was 1998 - 2011. The manga currently goes to chapter 390, which was released in 2018. The writer is on his third hiatus since 2011. HunterXHunter will never be finished.
Oh it's this guy. I know this guy. From that one youtube channel with that guy And now this guy is commenting on other guy It's cool that I know this guy who is that one guy
Giving monster a C and Jojo post-hamon a low rating are both whack, but calling bleach bad is pretty agreed upon by most people. Tite Kubo is almost god tier IMO at (HEAVY EMPHASIS) creating characters, but he knows fuck all what to do after they're done being introduced.
@@goblin8830 well I can understand where he’s coming from with monster. It starts off absolutely amazing for say the first 10 episodes. Then the pacing slows down a LOT. Which doesn’t mean it’s bad but it might turn off some people. Personally I enjoyed monster but I could feel the slow burn coming as I continued watching and liked the ending even if it was a bit redundant.
C tier doesnt mean bad though, I mean you can have "phenomenal" in one or few aspects of that anime such as artstyle/animation/character and still have the *overall* at a C tier
"im not gonna rate manga, I'm not a nerd!" how weird that in Japan anime fans is really weeb subculture of inferior humans but manga appreciation is mainstream
@@gedehahsen429 if the only thing you pick up from Evangelion or any Gainax show is surface level references, you need to try and look a bit more into it. Gurren Laggan and FLCL have about the same level of introspective humanity involved in its symbolism as well. Gurren Laggan has a ton of Buddhism allusions that no one even picks up on in the West, but alongside the references it is a lot deeper especially if you rewatch them over and over you start to pick up on it. FLCL has a lot of sexual introspective layers to it. And Gurren Laggan has a lot deeper symbolism with the drill representing DNA and in Buddhism a Spiral represents life. Gainax doesn’t just do crazy action anime they actually put a lot of nuance in the craft.
While hunterxhunter technically isn't over, I'd argue that it does have an ending. There aren't really any loose ends and if the manga didn't have more then I think we would have been happy with it
@@Loorens those aren't loose ends, they are new stories that could be told. Hisoka tried to fight chrollo but they didn't at that point. I forgot gyro was even in the anime, I agree that's a hole but it wasn't that big a deal by end of anime. Everything else you said is just totally new stuff. The story doesn't have to go on forever and answer every single question to have a satisfying ending.
Id say there are still loose ends or at the very least characters that feel unfinished. Its been a while since ive seen it but from what i remember Killua and Hisoka felt very half-baked, and Kurapika's storyline was about as much as a loose end as you could get. If hxh were to end as it did in the anime, it would be too unfulfilling for the overall world in context.
The Three Kings arc wasn't horrible, it just felt rushed. And it was very different from the Dark Tournament, the Dark Tournament was fighting to the death while the Three Kings arc was pretty much a friendly contest of who would become king of the demon world.
My top 5: 1. Naruto (first real anime I watched growing up, holds a special place in my heart) 2. Hunter x Hunter (masterpiece. Chimera Ant Arc and the Ant King are one of the greatest arcs and villains of all time, respectively) 3. Attack on Titan (immaculate animation, phenomenal character development in Eren, biggest plot twist ever at end of Season 3) 4. Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (beautifully animated, well paced, great villains, mature themes) 5. Black Clover (some of the coolest boss fights, constantly raised stakes, amazing powers, awesome shonen)
@@crazyhit3607 That’s not true in the slightest. It had amazing animation till this day. It’s incredibly popular. It revolutionized anime and shounen tropes. Amazing OST, amazing art and characters. Even the fillers were enjoyable. It may be slow, but it easily holds up. Its an 8 atleast
@@crazyhit3607 and just screaming, powering up, having ‘no plot’ and other generalizing arguments don’t make sense. If I said Jujutsu Kaisen is unoriginal and is just fighting and good animation that wouldn’t make sense.
Yea, my First big anime that i watched,and i really didnt even grasped the concept of fillers at the time, i almost quit becouse of it, then i started to understand what the filler marks on the site i watched meant so the anime got pretty enjoyable
@@kentaro8275 I’m so upset I dropped the show bc I didn’t know the bount arc was filler(never heard of filler at the time) now it’s hard to get back into it without restarting
Monster is one of those anime that I perceive as a masterpiece, but I can 100% understand why people don't like it. The show's a slow burner, and people who enjoy faster-paced anime might not like Monster. You also need to actually pay attention to watch the show lmfao.
@penguinz0 I'm so happy you like Casshern Sins. Not enough people talk about it or have seen it. Casshern Sins really resonated with me on an emotional level. And the thought provoking moments really had me thinking . I think it's a very good Anime. In my top 10 Anime of all time.
Totally agree with Tokyo Ghoul. The Anime is a complete slaughter of what Sui Ishida did in the Manga. The manga is 100% one of the best ive read, TG and RE, the artstyle is super unique as well. I wish it wouldve gotten a better adaptation.
The most unfortunate will always be anime for me because for a lot of the top dogs, they have so many episodes and movies that the ending needs to be worth it or it's going to fall hard. I never got into One Piece so I don't know how it ends or is structured but imagine placing almost one hundred hours into an anime as big as that and it just ends on a boring note with the characters just randomly dying for no reason.
@@lockerbuddy2039 one piece as a material usually will not leave people feeling regretful reading or watching it. The moment you invest yourself into one piece, you’ll be fine lol
@@ArcticZombie I am not a fan of pure mecha anime. NGE is ofc mecha however I would say it is more of a psychological anime so you should be good. It does touch on dark themes like anxiety, depression, and loss of identity. I am not going to lie but in the last couple episodes of the anime you will be confused and it is a mindfuck, but I think you should at least check it out. The series is not for everyone, so it is fine if you do not like it.
I think that the problem with Dr. Stone is that it's the consequence of human ingenuity, once you finish the hard parts and essentials of technology, the speed of attaining them just exponentially increases with each invention. A rather consequential problem that heavily impacts a show based on its entirety which consequently stifles the more exciting aspects. One second we are mesmerized by pointy sticks, next we are mesmerized by war machines in steel hulls. Dr. Stone gradually just turns into a long-drawn-out Civ/society game.
The other issue I see is that sukasa already has an army of grunts from Fist of the North Star and a giant stone fortress in less than a year, so Senkou has to get Gohan'd if we are to believe he even stands a chance.
I agree, some people forget that anime is fiction and shouldn't be took so seriously as some people do. It's ok to be passionate about a show but being toxic is never ok.
My favorite animes are Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Nausicaa of the Valley if the Wind, DBZ, Dai no Daibouken, and JJBA. I've seen attack on titan seasons 1 and 2, but I kind of stopped caring midway through season 2, so I wouldn't call it a favorite of mine personally. That's all the anime I've seen, and so far I've really enjoyed them. Dai no Daibouken is an anime adaptation of Dragon Quest, and its really good. I think there need to be more anime adaptations of video games, since a lot of games use art styles that would work well as anime. Definitely prefer action over character-centric stuff, so that's bound to trigger some people. My JoJo ranking (best to worst): 3, 4, 5, 2, 1. Yes, I like part 4 more than 5.
I like how everybody is talking shit about hardcore anime fans that'll come after him for his opinions but don't see anyone complaining about the so called controversial opinions
dude Charlie is the only man who can make an hour and a half long anime teir list and have me laughing all the way through it. youre an awesome dude Charlie
I feel like reviewing good is actually difficult. Its hard to put a lot of shows in the same spot due to spotting a big difference between shows in the same ranking
Who hasn’t watched Cowboy Bebop yet? I mean I get some will go the whole “it was so overhyped, could’ve been better” route to stay “nonconformist” but man...such an absolute classic. My fav anime of all.
@@momlover6036 Ok then, rather negative take. I would respect your opinion but you seem rather harsh despite not even watching it. Why do you feel this way about it may I ask?
@yjg7378i understand but even as someone who isnt a weeb or uber obsessed with anime, monster is fucking amazing. like, its that ONE anime you can watch if you dislike or dont like anime. it feels like a very well made and grounded live action mystery thriller. so i have to disagree with you on that.
I 100% agree about Death Note. The first half was absolutely amazing, but then it just didn’t do it for me anymore after L died. Like L and Light kinda had a sort of rival dynamic that made it really hard to replace L. Also the fact that L was the most interesting character to watch along with Light.
Yea, I can agree, but imo the fact that the first half is SO good, it makes up for it. Like yea, the second half isn't as good, but the first half is unbeatable in terms of entertainment. Also it's not like the second half was bad, or ruined the story or anything. It was just a little more confusing and boring compared to the first. The ending is still 100% my favorite ending of anything, and you can even just consider the part after L to be a bonus.
I actually loved the second half, it provided more unpredictability with the off the wall personality of mello and nonchalant near. It was also refreshing to see how near didn’t fear Kira like L did and looked at catching Kira as a game
I feel like Charlie is remembering Monster wrong, because every couple of episodes it goes off on entirely different tangents, where we get some new short story with new characters.
I mean I can understand sometimes it slips ya mind to watch stuff, especially if ya busy like with college. I’m barely getting around to watching Steins gate and soon Evangelion
@@Sum_Dude2 For steins gate PLEASE don't drop the series because of the beginning. It's hella confusing at first, but trust me everything will make sense later on. It's so damn good.
@@T7machinimas I'm caught up, its just not my cup of tea. I guess I just like more darker manga like berserk and jjk(jujutsu kaisen isn't dark like berserk, but still is depressing)
For some reason, no one wants to hear anyone's opinion if it's negative of something they like. You can love the things you love and see flaws in them. Sucks that for many other people, they hear someone disagree with them and they lose it, and the fact that that mentality is rewarded and popular kinda makes me a bit uncomfortable to say the least.
@@lockerbuddy2039 I like hearing other people’s opinions on stuff I like, until they just overdramatize it and just shit on it. Unless it’s satirical and it’s meant to be a joke. But it’s the internet so we’ve gotta have thick skin lol.
Usually I'd agree with you except for the fact that the "Final" season of AoT isn't even the actual final. The anime is set to end on a chapter almost 20 chapters away from the ending of the manga. They're probably gonna do a movie or something with it idk
@@tigertoxins584 Wrong, a weaboo is the typical person that thinks that they speak japanese because they watch anime, the typical person that disrespects japanese culture and so on. Weaboo and weeb are the insults for the obnoxious anime fans, otaku is far more used to reffer to anime fans and nerds.
I would love to hear Charlie's take on 1997 Berserk. Just finished it 2 days ago & its easily one of my top favorites. I don't think I can bring myself to watch it again after the absolutely soul crushing ending though. I've never really hated an antagonist in anime until watching Berserk.
@@Kain1805 nah it’s just guts getting more depressed and sad and stuff going bad🤷♂️it was alright at first but now it’s just guts going through mental breakdowns every chap and Griffith is still chilling
@@CDRW24 yet he’s still chilling going about life🤦 if the villain is the main driving reason as to why people are continuing to read the manga that’s a bad thing
Anyone who watches Monster after a nut busting adrenaline pumping shounen is going to hate it. Get into Seinen a little more before reading or watching Monster because the symbolism of Monster along with it's great plot is what makes it my 2nd fav manga of all time just behind Berserk. Johan is so real that it is honestly terrifying to watch through the screen whenever he appears. The anime is probably the greatest Slowburn in fiction
Just Finished it it is a masterpiece really like the character Development they Make you Understand a number of characters pretty well Johan is an Amazing Antagonist and the Parallel between him and Tenma Is Great Amazing Anime 🤝
Ergo Proxy was my first seinen and I loved it. I'm currently watching Monster, I'm 41 episodes in and I think it's kind of a mess. Just because someone doesn't like a particular seinen, that doesn't mean they only watch shonen. It's called a taste. But to be fair, I actually do love the first 4 episodes and Johann is a good villain.
Fax as soon as an Anime gets a complicated good plot people never talk about it. As soon as theres a show with cute romance ecchi slice of life fan service shounen harem whatever everyones talking about it
That's kind of how modern reviews of media work, usually anything below 7 is terrible and 10/10's are given non-stop. Which is a shame since it makes it so the lower numbers like 2-5 are never used and because of that a 10/10 has pretty much no impact. I wish people treated "okay" products as a 5 nowadays.
@@thefoochie2118 nahhh, it isn't that bad. I personally really enjoyed it. I'm not saying it's S tier or anything like that though, it's like B or A tier at best
If you like re zero, you should watch mushoku tensei: jobless reincarnation. It’s a really good isekai with amazing animation. A lot of people drop it after episode 8 but trust me it only gets better
Jujutsu Kaisen is the perfect example of adapting a manga without changing a single thing down to the frames. Then adding more spice without making it noticeable.
Code Geass is amazing and is definitely one of my favorites, glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so highly of it. Kinda sad he hasn't seen One Piece or especially Clannad. He talks about emotional anime, but skips over Clannad which is arguably the most emotional anime of all time. Even just hearing music from the Ost is enough to bring a tear to my eye.
Clannad wasn't really appreciated during it's time and is only just now garnering attention because weebs discovered it, realized it's a masterpiece and told their friends. I'm a huge Naruto fan and the only reason it isn't my favorite anime is because Clannad exists. The ending was equal parts emotionally devastating and overwhelmingly cathartic and one after another at that. No show I've seen before or since even comes close to how emotionally invested it got me.
@@christianryan9989 I see, thanks for telling me, I know it's popular now, but I wasn't even watching anime back when it came out, so I had no clue. Clannad is also my favorite, and is the only reason Code Geass is number 2 for me. I completely agree with you about the ending too. There's no anime that'll ever come close to what Clannad did for me, not just is it so emotional, but it also taught me a lesson or two about life.

Finished it a week ago 😭. In glad someone else mentioned it. Ending super messed up and the whole show is the embodiment of depression. But it had good scenes and made me cry
@@Thriftyyyyyy its honestly my favorite anime of all time, its one of those things that like, you think its just gonna be "Robot kill monster." But then it turns into "Hey, love yourself, be a good person. Also, don't end the world because you can't accept people can and do love you." 10/10 SS+ tier.
What, is everyone supposed to be a neckbeard weeb and go online searching for whole ass filler arc to avoid? That shit threw off many people, bleached deserved to be a 5
Monster is trash , boring with lot of unnecesary episodes and boring character , i jus wanted that anime to end i watched the anime jus to see the end and the ending wasnt good
@@MunoKalesus L take. The characters in Monster are so charismatic and interesting that it makes the show incredibly engrossing to watch. There are also so many complex moral questions posed by the backstories of the characters. Moreover, it has both one of the best antagonists and one of the best MC’s I have ever seen in an anime. Monster is a banger
And the manga is so much better (one of the best if not the best) . The art is one of the greatest but berserk 2016 not only used horrible animation they literally skipped a lot of the plot
i am crushed by the monster disappointment, its probably people trying to shove it down your throat that give you that feeling. I love that anime one of my top3 next to Hajime no Ippo and HxH (1999-2011) love the old HxH up to when he meets kite after Green Island
I loved the first episodes of Monster. What brings it down is the absurd amount of episodes about side characters who don't contribute anything to the main story. It's frustrating because the show could've easily been shorter, but better.
@@thecollector427the beauty of the show is the side characters and their slow character exploration. Every single one of those side characters explore their shades on humanity so much so that I'd even say that their contribution is what made the ending 10x better. Johan represented the nihilistic side of humanity and tenma represented the hopeful side of humanity and every single one of those side characters are the people who are in the middle of the spectrum.
@@thecollector427bro I loved the side characters. When I watched monster I rolled my eyes every time we switched to a random new character, but without fail I grew attached to them by the end of their arc(especially Grimmer and Richard). Thats a major strength of the show.
