Like a bolt from the blue, #HATEWATCH is here with its final installment. Start out the new year right by remembering just how bad some of last year’s shows got.
Despite the dearth in truly outstanding shows, there have been a lot of good romances and feel good moments for me to love this past year. A big focus has been awkward spazzes and the nerds who love them, so here’s a toast! Whether it’s playing shogi and make sure a bullied girl knows she’s not alone, taking a silent grouch on random photo shoots, or coming out of your shell to find out your best online friend makes a better boyfriend, we’ve had a lot of dorks out to steal our heart.
I, your brave Marlin am here to give Jel a break(mostly) as he prepares for our year’s end festivities. Meanwhile, we give a “Ganbare, Pine Jam!” as Just Because! gets into production issues again, Hina continues to shine in March Comes In Like a Lion, and Anime-Gataris goes full Samurai Flamenco.
Itsuki reveals the reason he won’t date registered sex offender Nayu: He’s incredibly self-centered. Oh wait, we knew that already.
The worst kept secret in the world gets shared around even more as we learn the dumbest things about Itsuki’s family situation.
#HATEWATCH is become pain. There is nothing left but pain.
Miyako’s birthday comes around and Haruto wants to hit on her. Will I ever be freed of this Sisyphean nightmare?
There are three casual references to rape in this episode. This is supposed to be funny. Or titilating. Or maybe both. By resurrecting #HATEWATCH, I opened the door to a man-made darkness the likes of which have never been seen.
This is literally the most disgusting thing I’ve ever watched.
Itsuki finally ends up where he belongs, a prison cell fit for war criminals.
This is #HATEWATCH 2017. Anime was a mistake.
This is #HATEWATCH 2017 Round 2. The show: A Sister Is All You Need. Its sins: ANIME IS STILL GETTING AWAY WITH THIS LITTLE SISTER BS
Sometimes a show comes along that just deserves to be eviscerated. Perhaps it showcases the worst of anime’s stereotypes. Perhaps it takes an interesting premise and ruins it with befuddling plots or infuriating character arcs. Perhaps you think a show should literally be labelled a war crime by the Geneva Convention. That’s where the HATEWATCH comes in. When the show does it to such a degree, sometimes you need to watch it just for the cathartic value of demolishing whatever dreg of culture or bad taste it represents. This is #HATEWATCH 2017. The show: A Sister Is All You Need. Its sins: ANIME IS STILL GETTING AWAY WITH THIS LITTLE SISTER BS
Enter the exciting world of competitive high school sidecar motorcycle racing with two girls that kind of hate each other, but are good on the track.
Three girls run a fashion clothing-slash-patisserie shop in the trendy neighborhood of Harajuku in Tokyo. Everything in their world is impossibly pastel and chic, but one day aliens descend to earth in order to steal its culture, and only they can fight it! For some reason!
When a miracle is declared in the Catholic Church sends examiners to verify their authenticity. This is apparently how Japan thinks that works, so it’s pretty much all gothic horror and occultism.
In which both Marlin and Jel conclude by saying “burn it with fire”.
