You have bad taste, but that's ok. Everyone should be free to enjoy what they like, regardless of what others think.

I think so. Besides Asta's awful Japanese voice (which you can just watch the dub to avoid, the show has a great dub cast) and a few too many flashbacks, I don't see any really detrimental flaws. The fights have been great, and the characters have been fun. It's not fantastic by any means, but it's a solid 7.5 or 8 out of 10.

It did, and even if it didn't, it's still really good.

Agreed. Darling had a great first cour but drove off a cliff in the second, even worse than SAO did.

The other choices I thought about were Bonda (Gurazeni), Playmaker (Yugioh VRAINS) or M (Gun Gale Online). But I simply found Asta to be the most entertaining character of the bunch. He had a lot of development and a lot of great moments.

Comic Girls was one of the shows that I put on hold and didn't finish, but I plan on watching it soon. What I did see was hysterical though.

That's an overreaction if I ever saw one. I assume this is about the "Peter Pan" arc? I agree that it would have been better off skipped and saved for an OVA or movie, but I didn't think it was that bad, at least not enough to ruin the show. I ended up giving it a 7.5 after giving the first season an 8.5

I didn't really care much for the bland Peter Pan spoof, but it's what came AFTER that, with the damn shota ruining everything

The season started off perfectly but that one thing completely ruins the entire series for me. I wish this season never happened.

Ah, I see. I didn't think he was bad enough to ruin it, but I can understand why people thought it was too big of a change from the first season.

There's nothing constructive to contribute, when I'm not interested in criticizing your preferences.

Even if I wanted to discuss in season stuff, you didn't watch most of it, or you currently have a bias against it.

???

You're not a professional reviewer and you didn't claim to be, so I'm not going to judge you like one. lol

Man, I agreed with until the horse memes. =(

I don't think I could watch that without friendos while drunk, but what did you think of Food Wars?

And that better be the new version of Layton, but I didn't think that was so hot either.

Uma Musume

That's a show that I thought about watching but didn't go through with. It's on my backlog now, and what I've heard about the show sounds fun.

Peter Pan and the shota were such low points. First season was better. Though this season had witch Teko.

agreed
It's one of those throwback shows. They don't make em like those anymore.

Off topic, but Magic Girl Site is a perfect example of bad source material = bad show.

If you don't watch animu that often, then it's going to probably be fantastic.

Well there wasn't an actual yuri relationship or anything. Just one girl forcibly kissing another and not seeming very serious about it.

Before I dropped it at episode 19, I picked Ichigo as my choice for best girl.

It really is a shame that the show fell of the cliff so drastically.
