My struggle with my eternal backlog continues with Frankenstein Family, another list filler anime from earlier this year. The best way I can describe this is shockingly incompetent. Like, everything they could have possibly done wrong, they got wrong, yet never in a way that it became 'so bad it's good'. It wasn't offensively bad or anything, just... nothing. Poor animation, poor writing, and the themes kept changing every other episode (humans will never accept monsters, or maybe they will! Total conformity is the only way to live, but also be yourself!). In the very first episode the monster family went to a restaurant in full monster form and made a huge spectacle of themselves. Then later episodes had a bunch of drama about how they absolutely couldn't let anyone know they were monsters. All the characters were boring. The season ended on a gigantic cliffhanger, which is bad, but I care so little that I don't even want to see it resolved, which is worse.

One nice thing I'll say is that, with a minute-long 'previously on' segment (because this crappy slice-of-life monster anime apparently had such a deep plot that I needed to get caught up on it every episode), a minute and a half on the opening, and half of each episode consisting of real life segments with the voice actors talking to each other about nothing, there was only ten minutes of actual content in each episode. By skipping all the junk, this at least didn't take very long to suffer through.
