- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsDee Bradley BakerZach Tyler EisenMae WhitmanIn a war-torn world of elemental powers, a young boy reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the Avatar, and bring peace to the world.Rating: 10.0
Kyoshi Novels Rating: 9.0
Favourite Episode: Sozin's Comet parts 2-4
Most well-written children's animated show to date. The Series deserves the hype despite it starting out "kiddie" until around episode 3 where The genocide is revealed at the air temple.
The Kyoshi novels haven't been adapted yet but it's essentially a TV-14 Avatar. The worldbuilding and callbacks to the main series were meticulously placed you even get hints of the white lotus. All major plot points were well explained, new bending feats were added to lore ex: dust stepping , fire nation culture was deeply expounded upon in Shadow, and everything you need to know about Kyoshi was well written including hints to why she lived to 230 with Lao Ge's immortality training. People get killed in this series and the plot is extremely unpredictable. The only real con is it was never explicitly explained why Jesa and Hark abandoned Kyoshi or if they knew she was the avatar and that the side characters are not at the exceptional level as ATLA's side characters. Otherwise, these books were incredible. - StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed and get traumatized, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.Rating: 10.0
Favorite Episode: Hero, That Day, Perfect Game, Assault...
It's the greatest shonen anime I've seen. The soundtrack, story, animation, art style, and voice actors are all at a masterpiece level. Tons of callbacks, the logic is very tight. It's obvious this took 11 years of writing, the story was meticulously planned from the start. It's the most well-executed media I've consumed
About the ending: Objectively the ending was horrible because it opened up major plotholes summed up here. Also the author said he fumbled the ending. With the manga ending this series is a 7/10. However, the anime adaptation will likely change this execution. Because chapters 134/139 (96% of the story) set the bar for fantasy (not without errors ex chpt 126), I won't be dropping this rating until S4Pt2 airs.
**UPDATE**: AoTNoReqiuem a professional level fan-made re-write of chapters 136-139 is already miles better than the original ending. If this project ends well AOT would be a 9/10 because this isn't the real canon. - CreatorYoshihiro TogashiStarsIssei FutamataMegumi HanCristina ValenzuelaGon Freecss aspires to become a Hunter, an exceptional being capable of greatness. With his friends and his potential, he seeks out his father, who left him when he was younger.Rating: 9.5
Favorite Episode: Anger and Light
A Shonen masterpiece, extremely detailed and meticulously written. The action is very strategic and just as intellectual as it is eye-candy. Some pacing issues in the Chimera ant arc, and greed island was ok, but it still remains one of the best shonens' ever created. - CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Rating: 6.9
Favorite Episode: The Winds of Winter
This show checked all the boxes for fantasy television, it was engaging, and well-paced, characters were nuanced, believable, and intriguing. There were complex political plots and little to no plot armor as fatal wounds in this era such as cuts ex Drogo, Robert Baratheon would kill characters. There were 4-5 plotlines running in parallel throughout most seasons and nearly all of them were entertaining and unpredictable as some followed characters that could be killed without major narrative consequences making the viewer genuinely tense during certain events. The production value of nearly 10 million per episode ensured that the presentation from the leitmotifs of the different houses to the actual setpieces always looked premium.
However, this series is severely flawed because it starts a steady decline in writing for nearly half of its run (seasons 5-8). Seasons 5-8 had their peaks of genuinely good writing such as episode Winds of Winter to distract you from the decline but upon rewatch many plotlines and character arcs begin to fall apart aside from those episodes.
There are way too many issues with this series to list them all out however the bigger ones include destroyed and nonsensical character arcs: Jamie becoming an eternal simp and returning to die with Cersei even after she threatened to kill him and after he banged Brienne. Jamie in general gained empathy throughout the series and then continually relapsed back to Cersei for no reason (ex: when he raped Cersei in S4 EP 3). Jon snow also becomes an eternal simp to Daenerys bending the knee in S7 EP7 to her for no reason even after she pledged support for his cause knowing this would cause issues in the north. He even defended Daenerys about her descent into madness until he was forced to kill her after the sack of kings landing. Daenerys omnicide speedrun. Littlefinger going from a machiavellian lord to an idiot who tells everyone his motives (e.g Sansa) and gambles away key allies (e.g selling Sansa to the Boltons). etc..
Illogical war tactics: The entirety of S8 Ep 2, just have the dragons camp the wall and burn everyone outside the encampment. The night king not killing john snow n co when they were surrounded when wights can swim. The night king not going around the wall since the wights can swim. Almost every Euron Greyjoy navy scene like he "ambushed" and killed Daenerys dragons when Daenerys literally has a birds-eye view of everything and knew he was there, etc. Dany going to negotiate with Cersei in S8 in front of multiple scorpions and archers when Cersei can just kill them all right there drogon included etc.
Direct plotholes: S8 EP 1 Theon rescues Yara from an entire fleet with only 8 men. The entire S7 EP 8 Euron Cersei betrayal. S7 EP 7 the night kings spawning chains to pull visery's corpse from the lake. Melisandre removing her necklace during a bath and not aging etc.
An Incoherent magic system that's far too soft when it shouldn't be: The main antagonist (night king) and the origin of the white walkers and children of the forest were never delved into. We don't know why the night king wants an endless night or how getting stabbed with dragon glass gives them OP abilities like raising the dead and being impervious to dragon fire. The actual deities aren't clear whether it's the old gods allowing Bran to deterministically traverse memories, via wierwoods, or this lord of light who does whatever the writers need him to do including resurrecting people or the light of the seven. The purpose of the three-eyed raven in general etc.
And finally, the motif of the worst ones always live leads to hate-watching when viewing when despicable characters like Cersei Lannister, Jeoffery Lannister, and Ramsey Bolton escape death for 4-8 seasons. Even if this is realistic, at some point enough is enough.
As great as the series started if half of a series isn't good the entire series cannot be regarded as a good series.
- CreatorVince GilliganStarsBryan CranstonAaron PaulAnna GunnA chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student in order to secure his family's future.Rating: 8.3
Favorite Episode: Ozymandias
A super realistic, naturally dramatic depiction of how drug dealing ensnares everyone around you. Every episode is either good or great with a few standouts (Ozymandias, Felina, Full Measure). The only reason it's not a 9 or 10 is because of some purely Hollywood moments that made little sense, a few decent plot points that made no sense, and mundane dialog that greatly extended the runtime (unnecessarily). The best example of this is Episode Fly, nearly all the episodes could have shaved 15 minutes off the runtime without losing any detail.

Favorite Episode: Spring Breeze
Exceptional with flaws. The presentation was unbelievable from the animation (they're accurately playing their instruments), color-pallet, art style, soundtrack, and performances; it was an experience. It's well written as side characters' motivations are clearly explained, the themes around music being freedom, conveying emotion through music, the struggles of musicians were consistent and interconnected. Arima's character development was satisfying and the ending made everything come full circle. However, the show is flawed; the slapstick comedy is always jarring characters literally beat on Kousei even though he was physically abused as a child. Miyazono is arguably a manic pixie archetype she doesn't display any nuance until the back half when she nears her death, and how Kousei's trauma is handled is unrealistic. Kousei felt responsible for his mothers death for not playing how she instructed due to his mother manipulating him, and Tsubaki and Miyazono straight-up force him to play the piano again (the source of his trauma). While it's well explained why this worked, it's not how you should ever approach healing someone with severe trauma (granted the main cast are only in middle school). This only worked because he INITIALLY loved what he became trauma bonded to and Miyazono personified what he loved about music. Lastly, the melodrama and foreshadowing specifically the death flags for Miyazono, and overdramatism like Watari crying, because he lost the tournament (when later he easily gains a scholarship to a high school sports program, why cry like it was the end of his career?) etc.. , was heavy-handed. Overall the pros heavily outweigh the cons but I would understand if someone thought otherwise. Great not incredible. - CreatorCraig MazinStarsJessie BuckleyJared HarrisStellan SkarsgårdIn April 1986, the city of Chernobyl in the Soviet Union suffers one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of mankind. Consequently, many heroes put their lives on the line in the following days, weeks and months.Rating: 7.9
Favorite Episode: Vichnaya Pamyat
A haunted dramatization of Chernobyl. The mood was consistently dark and the cinematography and score were A-tier. This show explained nuclear physics well enough you don't even need any prior knowledge. The themes around the price of lies and propaganda were also well-executed. However, since this is a dramatization there was "Hollywood Moments": In reality there was never a threat of a "thermal explosion", radiation burns aren't as skin meltingly severe as depicted in Ignatenko, the bridge of death is largely a myth, , etc just read this . I found it a little slow in places and wasn't moved by its slow-burn shock value. The more shocking you find it the more you'll enjoy it. Overall it isn't the most entertaining series out there, but it was well crafted. - CreatorGeorge LucasStarsTom KaneDee Bradley BakerMatt LanterJedi Knights lead the Grand Army of the Republic against the droid army of the Separatists.Rating: 8.5 IF YOU FOLLOW THE WATCH ORDER FOR S1-5 8.0 Otherwise.
Favorite Episode: The last four episodes
This show has a filler, so if you watch all the episodes it isn't consistently great. It's easily the best star wars media since the OT. The animation improves drastically by the final season and the last four episodes are rated so highly for a reason. Although it's not, it ends like a masterpiece. - StarsScott GrimesDamian LewisRon LivingstonThe story of Easy Company of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division and their mission in World War II Europe, from Operation Overlord to V-J Day.Rating: 8.0
Favorite Episode: Why We Fight
A no flash very realistic depiction of a group of paratroopers in WW2. It captured the horrors of war, and the spontaneity of being on the front lines well, and the cinematography made it feel like you were in the war yourself. The tactics in this series were nearly 1-1 with reality. Like any dramatization there are inaccuracies Hitler's suicide date was wrong, Lt Dike didn't die in WW2, Sobel wasn't as incompetent as he was depicted, etc., but they don't break the story. Some of the effects are a little dated but this is an atypical war show. Overall it's well done, but didn't blow me away personally. - CreatorEiichiro OdaStarsMayumi TanakaAkemi OkamuraLaurent VerninMonkey D.

Favorite Episode: Kesareta Nakama-tachi: Mugiwara Ichimi Saigo no Hi
This is the most disappointing series I’ve ever seen. With a fandom this large and this vocal you’d think it would be a never ending masterwork; it’s mediocre at best and an extreme example of survivorship bias. I’m expecting to get absolutely ratioed for this but like always I have to keep it authentic.
Here are the pros of and what everyone praises it for:
Expansive and well connected lore via callbacks set up 100’s of chapters in the past. Well Written interesting characters with backstories that seamlessly build and connect with established lore (e.g: Robin’s backstory reveals key details of the void century and Jinbe’s backstory reveals the origins of Arlong as well as fisher tiger and the political climate on fishman island). An inspirational and optimistic main character.
A creative power system: (devil fruits) with users that exploit them to there advantage in intelligent ways (e.g Gear 4 vulcanization of rubber interesting mix of fantasy and real world physical enhancements to rubber)
A coherent narrative at a high level.
Here are the cons and why people drop the series:
Terrible conflict resolution that relies on excessive plot armor, contrivances, and power ups that suspend disbelief. Examples of this are:
Luffy being defeated three times (dehydrated, impaled, poisoned) against crocodile in Alabasta yet somehow still able to be the crap out of him by being saved by conveniences like “eating blood to replenish blood” and a water droplet falling and saving him from dehydration.
Usopp getting hit with a literal four ton bat in Alabasta shattering every bone in his body (this was even shown) and one scene later is patched up and ready to go despite having zero powers.
Luffy somehow able to get up and beat Rob lucci after being clobbered 3 times in Enies lobby.
Luffy’s half a day resurrection from death after being poisoned and defeated by Magellan in impel down even with tension hormone and using gear 2 (which should’ve just accelerated the poison coursing through his bloodstream killing him instantly because gear 2 literally raises his BP as confirmed in Enies lobby). It’s noted that the consequence of tension hormone abuse will shave a decade of his lifespan but even this doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect the outcome of the narrative in a drastic or palpable way.
Luffy even being able to fight in marine ford despite “dying” in impel down, and taking another tension hormone which should’ve killed him instantly. The exhaustion from fighting through impel down and fighting in marine ford and being resurrected in impel down should’ve rendered him unable to fight in this arc which takes place in the same day.
Shanks showing up to MarineFord at the perfect time to protect Luffy allowing him to escape with law unharmed.
Luffy being defeated by Kaido 5+ times and still powering up even to gear 5 twice and destroying him.
All this plot armor destroys all narrative tension, the main cast is immune to consequences and physical harm that even when they “lose” (like in sabaody archipelago) you realize they just got a pass to a train for a couple years so that when they don’t lose it’s “believable”. There are zero consequences for being bad or weak.
Formulaic and repetitive arcs that follow the same pattern:
Gang arrives to island → island ins and outs explained by natives which the main casts befriends → political turmoil of island revealed → luffy rushes in to defeat the primary antagonist then goes into a training arc because he can’t defeat them or goes into a training arc then rushes to defeat the antagonist → Luffy fights the first strongest, Zoro the 2nd Sanji the 3rd → a ton of monologues → a feast → updated bounties → flashbacks to how the world changes after the antagonists are defeated (usually a power vacuum) → melodramatic departure. Some of the arcs break this formula like marineford which is just a battle royale and ling ring long land which is just an avoidable carnival.
The Overuse of monologues in the middle of pivotal scenes:
For example Spandam would’ve literally won and taken robin to impel down if he didn’t stop to monologue when she was up the stairs Most arcs have protagonists repeating the themes of the arc and why they fight which is almost always (“I have to save my friends and this country”), in the MIDDLE of fights which slows the pacing and is corny in general.
Repetitive character archetypes: all major characters have a sob story in order to give them depth and all their sob stories boil down to “the world government is bad and has wronged me” For example:
Boa hancock a slave to the world government
Ace a guy who lost his father to the world government and mother who was killed hiding him from the world government
Bartholomew Kuma: a guy who gave his entire life to the world government to protect and cure Bonny who was only born because a celestial dragon pumped and dumped his love interest.
Nami: a woman whose island was enslaved and adoptive mother was killed by a racist warlord sponsored by the world government.
Nefartari Vivi: a girl whose kingdom was destroyed by a warlord for personal gain etc.
Horrendous artstyle that destroys gives the series a comedic undertone at all times.Some examples:
The pivotal battles in marine ford being interrupted by a giant non binary guy with a head the size of the screen dressed as a drag queen (Ivankov).
Ace dying followed by Luffy opening his mouth an impossible 180 degrees while screaming making him look like some demented alien preparing for his next meal. Made Ace's death funny when it obviously wasn’t supposed to be.
Orochi a lame villain with the most comically over the top ugly character design ever. Every scene he showed up in was a joke.
Franky: a dude in tights with robotic shoulders the size of two characters combined every scene he’s in is hilarious. He’s supposed to be the straw hat’s iron man and with a less stupid design he could be both flashy and intimidating.
Expendable side characters that have as much plot amour as the main character. For example
Pell was blown up saving alabasta (perfect character send off) only to show up in the end on crutches alive.
Kinnemon was clobbered by Kaido twice (he has no powers) and somehow survived
Kanjuro was “killed” by the scabbards and somehow resurrected at orochi’s command in an attempt to blow up the entire island.
Orochi visibly died to Kaido without activating his devil fruit and somehow survived (while adding nothing to the narrative) to only be incinerated in the end.
Bellamy survived his fight with Luffy in dressrosa
Hajrudin got all his bones crushed by a 10-ton man in dressrosa and still somehow was able to continue the fight
Luffy’s heart stopped (literally dying) then he powered up to his most powerful form yet (gear 5) in Wano.
Conis dad was beamed by Enel in Skypiea but somehow still survived despite having no powers and being old.
Pound was killed on screen in whole cake showed up alive later.
Bon clay not didn’t die in impel down despite getting a melodramatic farewell as he stands behind a bloodlusted Magellan who literally states he was going to kill him.
A common retort to this critic is the death of Whitebeard and Ace. However their deaths aren’t as impactful or significant as you’re led to believe. They’re only important because the author says they are, and due to their status within the lore (emperor and son of roger/brother of the MC). They did not have any agency or palpable screen time in the narrative. You knew Whitebeard was living on borrowed time when his character was introduced as he was shown connected to medical machines and IV’s. You knew he was going to die to protect his sea “family” if you were paying attention to his character. His death is completely telegraphed. On the other hand Ace’s entire character is rooted in flashbacks he’s essentially dead in the current narrative aside from the blackbeard confrontation (a flashback) which is immediately followed up by his death. In the end he was just replaced by Sabo who actually had screentime and relevance in the current and future narrative.
Horrendous pacing (in the anime) where at worst a ½ a chapter per episode adaptation rate is normal (normal animes have 4-5 chapters per episode)
Lackluster fight choreography (exacerbated by half of every arc being fights)
This is attributed to every character even if they don’t have powers calling out their attacks. Attack callouts aren’t inherently bad series like Hunter x Hunter do it masterfully by having characters only audibly call out attacks if they are powerful enough to where they require a specific activation to trigger (with the exception of Gon who calls out his simplistic attack because he’s an enhancer). Most of the time they don’t tell their opponents what they’re doing and will call out their attack via an INNER monologue. One piece makes everyone call out everything: “COILER SHOOT! GUM GUM GATLING!! CLIMA TACTO! RADICAAAL BEAM!” It's useless, makes the fights feel juvenile and aren’t even strategic because everyone does it. The only strategic fights are ones between characters with no powers like Nami vs Khalifa. Everyone else just power ups until they can defeat their opponent: (e.g robin devil technique in Wano, luffy gear 5, zoro demon techniques, Sanji flaming leg technique (how does he even do this before his germa lineage awakens?)). If they don’t power up then the antagonist’s will just make a uncharacteristically dumb decisions that allow the hero’s to win (e.g: khalifa literally waiting for Nami to attack her which causes her to be electrocuted and defeated in Enies lobby, same thing with nami vs miss double finger). It doesn’t help that nearly all the fights with the stronger straw hats end nearly the same. Luffy’s fights always end in luffy finishing his opponent by either spamming punches or one really strong punch.
Similarly all Zoro fights are him losing at first, him remembering something that allows him to power up (or worse just powering up with no explanation). Then doing some demon technique where he spawns multiple swords and teleports behind his crumbling opponent samurai style. You can’t even see what he did. It's similar to finishing animations every time.
Direct plot holes, thankfully there’s not many but a few examples:
Luffy still being mobile post gear 4 when fighting katakuri which allowed him to recharge and escape katakuri only to use gear 4 again when at this point in the narrative he wasn’t powerful enough to use gear 4 more than once per fight as shown in Dressrosa.
Big mom’s fleet not destroying the sunny shutting off their escape in chapter 876 when they had the resources, time and manpower to do so.
The entire big mom amnesia arc in Wano where it was established she is literally physically impenetrable (only lessened by emotional damage) and can stop rockets without even using Haki. How does she get brain damaged from falling off a cliff?
In Skypiea the straw hats struggling to breathe on their ascension to the island then one scene later were completely adapted (even those without powers) like it was never an issue to begin with.
One big thematic contradiction:
The “kurozumi’s are made to burn” line from Hiyori to Orochi in chapter 1057. A major theme of One Piece was not to blame the sins of someone’s ancestors on their descendants (as seen with the rationale the marines used for executing ace), this is the opposite and is a big departure from the series themes coming from someone who is supposed to be a “good guy”
I was excited to watch a potential never ending masterwork. But as I’ve come to realize, it's just extreme survivorship bias since anyone who doesn’t like it will not finish and review the series on account of it’s 1000+ episodes. In the end, you’re better off watching multiple other shonen’s who accomplish more in 1/10 of the amount of One Piece's runtime. All these flaws make this show just a whimsical pirate narrative with exceptional lore and continuity with alright characters. Everything else is either mediocre or straight terrible. It is not worth watching, not even really reading since that’s also 1000+ parts. - CreatorSimon KinbergCarrie BeckDave FiloniStarsDave FiloniTaylor GrayFreddie Prinze Jr.The crew of the spaceship Ghost defends those who cannot fight for themselves against the Empire, providing the spark for a rebellion.Rating: 7.1
Favorite Episode: The Twilight of The Apprentice Part 1-2
A big step down from the clone wars in both tone and artstyle. Negating the filler (less filler than clone wars), it's good, with a few exceptional episodes (Twin suns, Twilight Apprentice etc.). - CreatorHiromu ArakawaStarsKent WilliamsIemasa KayumiMatthew LeonhartTwo brothers search for a Philosopher's Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms.Rating: 8.8
I get why people say it's the greatest Shonen, however to me it lacks that masterpiece factor that makes it memorable. It's exceptional but very traditional in how it ends on a conventional happy note. It has a lot of cliches/generic tropes but is still a solid show all around. - CreatorHideaki AnnoStarsMegumi OgataMegumi HayashibaraKotono MitsuishiA teenage boy finds himself recruited as a member of an elite team of pilots by his father.Rating: 7.5
Favorite Episode: Asuka Strikes
A psychological "mecha" show. It's not really about the mechs/plot, but more about the messages around human interaction. I can see the argument for this being a masterpiece, but it doesn't explain major plot points and leaves too many unanswered questions to be one. I shouldn't have to spend hours on a wiki to get half-explained answers to questions such as where did Adam come from? What was the first impact? Why do angels want adam? What is the dummy plug actually? Seele? Why is Gendo such a terrible father? Lance of longinus? etc. The actual lore, and why things are the way they are is this shows pitfall. They don't get into it enough for everything to align with the audience; hence the "you just didn't understand" argument was born. - DirectorHideaki AnnoKazuya TsurumakiStarsMegumi OgataMegumi HayashibaraYûko MiyamuraConcurrent theatrical ending of the TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995).Rating: 8.0
Unlike anything I've ever seen, I literally can't even begin to process what happened here. It's very psychologically disturbing, to the point of nightmare fuel. A lot of events seemed to just "happen", but this is a creatively bold ending that made anime history for a reason. It's like an abstract painting in an art museum that some people see a deeper meaning to while others roast for its unconventionality. All in all the movie left too much up for interpretation and didn't answer many major questions. It was a surreal experience. - CreatorAaron EhaszJustin RichmondStarsPaula BurrowsJack De SenaSasha RojenTwo human princes forge an unlikely bond with the elfin assassin sent to kill them, embarking on an epic quest to bring peace to their warring lands.Rating: 6.9
Favorite Episode: The Final Battle
Major ATLA vibes since it has the same head writer. It's a great children's show in the FIRST 3 seasons. The show has a very immersive world with serious conflicts characters actually get killed viren, harrow, ibis, avizandum and maimed (Claudia), without it being too edgy. However, after season three it fell off HARD. It wasn't all bad, but the tone was a jarring mess: e.g. Viren having EVA-level psychological trauma from dark magic in one scene, and Claudia and Terry twerking on him in the next. The writing became nonsensical in places: (S5 EP5) Zubeia abandoning Amaya instead of just zapping the corrupted banthers around Amaya or hitting them like she did a scene prior. Characters were semi-assassinated Rayla became a secretive a-hole who doesn't apologize for abandoning Callum and having absolutely nothing to show for it. Callum becomes a doormat for Rayla forgiving and apologizing to Rayla for her misdeeds when he did nothing wrong. And a lot of artificial repetitive drama Bait being left behind twice caused the Amaya corruption drama and Zubeia corruption drama (conveniently resolved via some random mushroom man), Ezran stealing baitlings on principle caused the entire Finnegrin captivity drama (Ez never apologized for this), etc.. Lastly, it lost subtlety becoming preachy with its thematic ideas Cladia literally walking in Viren's footsteps, Ezran's speech during the Claudia ibis fight, etc. Overall a hard fall from grace. - CreatorJon FavreauStarsPedro PascalChris BartlettKatee SackhoffThe travels of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.Rating: 7.4

The most intelligent show I've ever seen. Smartest protagonist I've seen. The middle of the show became very mundane since we already knew who Kira was, OP2 is the worst anime OP I've ever seen, and there was a decent amount of edge that felt like a preteens fever dream.

Annoying and average, the whole story could've ended in 2 episodes if the protagonist did you know what to prove to his friends you know who really came back. Full of logic holes and a cringe ending didn't emotionally move me like it did other people. It was tearbait.
