The worst anime in history or, what YOU should avoid. · 6:49am Sep 9th, 2022
How great people made a dumpster fire and the worst anime in history OR, what YOU should avoid.
I like things that make you think about writing. What writers do right, what writers do wrong. Usually I don't come across very much, but I happened to come across this and it makes some good points by covering a Anime thats universally considered to be terrible and going over the mistakes the writers made. Some interesting points. Nothing earth shattering, but it did make me sit down and think a bit more deeply about my story structure.
I will say this. This isn't for seasoned writers. Seasoned writers already know these mistakes, BUT if you are a newer writer, this is a great breakdown on how an entire group of creators really created complete garbage. People with enough experience who should have known better.

Ah yes. This show.
Technically speaking, this is not an anime, but an American take on the anime formula. The story (from what I gather as I did not watch it myself) is rather bland.
Lots of shows like that. However, that wasn't what bugged me.
What truly got to me was just how lazy production was for something that was supposed to be mainstreamed produced. From sound to background it all seemed kind of phoned in. A cash grab.
Which is indicative of a larger problem in mainstream community. Marvel, Star Wars, the list goes on of lazy writing and even worse production. Writers have become more vapid, and while I am certainly no paragon of author peerlessness, I still have a better grasp on subtle nuances. Hell, many of the writers here do.
I think a large part of the problem is nepotism. People unqualified, or of questionable standards are getting an in because they know someone. Or even worse, they are popular in some genre that makes people think they might be good at something else.
I like this, I hope to see more think pieces like this.👍
