2025

Assassination Classroom (2015)5.9/10. It feels like the mangaka ran out of ideas after the first volume and scrambled to make up the rest and suddenly develop random characters in unexpected ways. The show jumps around from funny to serious to silly. I guess it's still a charming watch though.
Naruto (2002)7.3/10. Only 80 episodes watched. The characters are surprisingly well balanced and you can really feel the growth of each character as they mature and become stronger. There's only a handful of shows that do this well and Naruto is one of them. Watching as an adult I think it's pretty slow paced but I see how much fun it would be to watch as a kid. I love the fact that Orochimaru and the Third Hokage barely move an inch in 10 episodes.
Cowboy Bebop (1998)7.3/10. Dub. For lack of better words, this show is weirdly... deep. Each episode makes you feel a little depressed and super nostalgic. In addition, the soundtrack is as fantastic as I've been told. I'd recommend this show for the vibes alone.
Pokémon Generations (2016)5.0/10. Dub. It's a continuation of Pokémon Origins for newer generations.
Pokémon Origins (2013)5.5/10. Dub. It's a bit nostalgic to watch if you played the original Pokémon. The show is an adaptation of the original games.
