The pv for Altair seemed interesting. Big turbans

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people interested in Altair, Ottoman Empire fantasy anime sounds interesting to me at least. Is the manga not very good or something?

I just hope it's a passing craze

It's cyclical, something similar was big in the 90s and it goes back at least to Aura Battle Dunbine in 1983

To Be Hero was great until the last two episodes.

Even that was pretty much entirely due to the writing, it was still pretty well made overall.

if i like an anime, I'd call it good.

if something is fun and exciting even if the minute-to-minute plot doesn't make much sense, then that's just because they chose to emphasize something other than detailed plotting. while they could have done that in a way that didn't create holes, I can't fault them for using an animated medium to string together a series of cool, interesting animation sequences. That makes it good.

imo the trainwreck meme is just people being very afraid to say they like a show in spite of its plot holes or weirder moments. if you like kabaneri or valvrave or whatever, just say you like them.

i feel like the phrase would be best used to describe significant production failures, but really the well of it being a useful term in any sense has long been poisoned.

It's best to just junk it altogether. I can probably count the number of actual trainwrecks on my hand and that's if we count Evangelion as one

My favorite is the anime Galvion, where the toy company sponsoring the show went bankrupt so they made an episode that narrated what would have happened in the series over production stills

Note that it's called SSSS, as in Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.

I miscommunicated, I mean that based on the short, this show will probably rule
