(Bad) This Boy is a Professional Wizard

Series in one sentence:
Anime on a budget of exactly a quarter.

Series in more sentences:
An insecure "government-employed wizard" one day meets a friendly and confident stranger, and manages to keep his attention when he shares with him the details of his job.
But since he has no other talents besides being a magic user, his insecurities get the better of him and he starts to believe the only reason anyone could show interest in him at all is because of his wizard status.

Horrible artwork that looks even worse when it moves, basic story, pointless insertion of magic, this was a boring mess of a series. It's mercifully short, which is the only positive I can give it.

And that's it, good night.

(Bad) Diabolik Lovers

Series in one sentence:
Diabodick Losers.

Series in more sentences:
A young girl is instructed to live in a giant mansion for reasons unknown, and upon entering, gets surrounded by a large group of hostile vampiric brothers.
Unable to to leave and intimidated by the characters, all she can do is let herself get pushed around and abused by the predatory men.

I love vampires and a good romance is never bad to have, but this was shit.

The main character was an absolute wet blanket, she never fought back in any meaningful way whenever one of those losers insulted or approached her. These debatably "attractive" men were unnecessarily rude and wouldn't stop jumping her neck. How much blood does this woman have in her that she can shrug off multiple daily attacks?

The blood sucking scenes were annoying to sit through and the repetitiveness of it all made it equally boring. Why does she keep approaching these vicious perverts with renewed tolerance? They keep calling her conceited as well, which is rich coming from these assholes.

Those who find vampires biting people sexy are a very particular group of fetishists, but for the rest of us, it makes for an unbearable watch. I'm sad there wasn't a single genuine guy in this; they all just preyed on her blood, while the background music tries to convince you it's an alluring moment every time.

Because none of the characters are likeable, it's hard to care for their past and their plight at the end. Why did they even bother trying to save the girl's life? They could've just ripped her head off and that way prevented their "evil" mother from possessing her, but there they are, surrounding her as she wakes up, as if they were her friends all this time. What the actual Hell.

The general plot isn't even that bad. This could've worked out if they either didn't take the "sadistic harem"-route and just made these boys the undeniable villains, or actually made them show off normal affection towards this girl. Not this constant biting and weird talk about how inflicting pain and committing murder are acts of love.

This harem sucked, literally.

(Average+) The Promised Neverland

NOTE: I watched the first half of season one in English, the rest in Japanese.

Series in one sentence:
I'll have the kids menu.

Series in more sentences:
A trio of orphaned friends come to realize their caretaker has ties with ominous creatures, and the many children who were claimed to have been adopted prior were in actuality sold as food. They become determined to plan an escape.

Way too many fake-outs in season 1, it was ridiculous. There's more to the mystery genre than not informing the audience at all.
Every time you think to have figured something out, the series goes like: "BUT ACTUALLY, the character was doing/thinking THIS!". It could be pretty annoying, but I liked the overall story.

Of course, watching this series requires some suspension of disbelieve; as it features a boy who remembers everything since he was sitting in his mother's womb and an understanding 4-year-old with good vocabulary. The little children in this show were unrealistically helpful.

I didn't think the friendships portrayed were impressive, either. The characters talk to each other like they're friends and jump in each other's arms smiling all the time, but I just wasn't feeling it. Whenever something happened to a character, some random small child I've never seen before would be like "OH NO, <INSERT NAME HERE> IS <WHATEVER HAPPENED HERE>?!? WAAAAAAH!".

Like, who are you? I've never seen you interact with this character, get outta here.

I also don't understand the peace deal these demons made with the humans from the past. It only seems to benefit the demons, who get to enjoy a human snack every so often. The only thing humans receive is that they get to sacrifice more of their kind.
Why even care about a species that apparently needs human flesh to maintain their humanity and stay peaceful among each other? You're a flawed species then, time for evolution to deal with you, goodbye. None of this is humanity's concern.

If I understood the history lesson correctly, humans were doing a fair job at battling and killing the demons, so why not continue fighting the good fight for the sake of your freedom? And why are only small children farmed and given away? They have small bodies, it won't fill many stomachs, and a child's brain will never be better developed than that of an educated adult.
Isn't an intelligent brain what the monsters want most of all? I don't care how smart these children supposedly are, they're elementary schoolers.
Build a big college to ship them to, where they can enjoy a high level education and more life experiences, then sell their clueless asses when they're 20. Tell them they're going on an internship or a job interview.

But sure, I get it, if the victims are small children, the viewer will feel more sorry for them. I'm just saying it doesn't make sense in any other context.

In season 2, we get a one year time skip at the oddest moment, right after the caretaker of the escaped children gives a determined promise she'll find them. Looks like she wasn't doing so well.
This season was alright, but it dipped in quality here and there. In fact, it felt extremely rushed; the last episode being the worst offender. A journey that looked like it should've been its own season was compressed into a lazy clip show of 3 minutes long. I honestly couldn't believe what I was looking at. Shameful, it was.
It would've been better to end the episode early, right after the gates closed, and leave it open to interpretation. Won't work on the people who've already read the manga, but it still would've been better.

All in all, the hero characters were bland goody two-shoes, the villain characters given cheap reasons to why they're evil and/or suddenly aren't anymore, the conflictless ending was unsatisfactory, I'll likely never watch this again.
