A couple of days ago I marathoned the entirety of Elfen Lied. I wish I hadn't.
Quite possibly my least favorite anime of all time. I hate that shit with a passion... always have.
I've seen worse... but not much.

Well, Umineko and Genocyber (among others) are definitely "worse," but they also aren't faux-deep and filled with lots of uncomfortable, meaningless violence and pedobait (well, okay, those two do have tons of worthless gore scenes). The fact that some people actually buy into EL's "it must be intelligent 'cuz it's dark and edgy" boggles my mind.

Betterman. Utterly boring. Utterly incomprehensible

In an effort to keep myself from turning into the "Stop liking what I don't like" guy, I've gone looking for the rest of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and started watching them to keep my mind off Smile PC and its horrendous fans.

It may have been Toei's first attempt at a proper team and its definitely rough around the edges, but at least it doesn't actively try to piss me off like Smile is doing.

Hopefully there are no dreaded male love interests. :sly:

There actually usually are in magical girl shows.

Because they aren't (mostly) made for middle aged manchildren.

Yeah, how dare Japan try to get something resembling a positive birth rate?

Maybe this "purity" shit is all caused by brainwashing from American occupying soldiers after WW2. They're killing the rest of Japan slowly and subtly. :whuh:

Hilariously enough, Yes5 is the season with the most male love interests, and the only one where the girls actually end up having serious relationships with boys.
Also, the boys are the fairy mascots of the series. That some weird shit there man.

Enjoy your subtext. Also, avoid those that ship them. They're terrible people.
