@@ElangRk not saying Gibiate was good just saying low rating doesn't automatically mean its the worst I mean Buroto is like an 8+ but ya know the anime is uh oh
The harem actually makes me feel more bad for the girl who he "loves" than the guy. Imagine finding out the guy who you planned to marry slept with 3+ girls behind your back.
Not just that, but the message the writers sent was "if you live your life as a prude, you're definitely gonna get cheated on." Like. As a woman who stayed a virgin til marriage because of my own personal values, that feels pretty crappy. Also, the other message the writers sent was "no consequences for cheaters, yay!" Not only did they romanticize scumbaggery, they FAILED at romanticizing scumbaggery. 0/10, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
@@infinitemidnightghostmourner THIS. You just *know* the person is a scumbag if that's the message they want to convey. How much do you want to convey the authors message of "I don't care about my partner's wishes. If she doesn't want to have sex with me then she shouldn't be suprised I cheated on her" without saying anything? This anime: Yes
but can you blame him? he's not cheating with a bunch of fives, there all solid gold 10s! no man can resist such attacks, no matter how much love there is.
@@TheRogueEmpire Still his fault. If you already promised someone a future, don't go off to sleep with other women, even if they're a 10. That's just common sense and the number 1 rule of how not to be a scumbag. He doesn't even have to common decency to break it off with the girl after the first time. He's scum and you just can't justify his actions.

I feel like the only worst list Gibiate really belongs on is Most Wasted Potential. Between the designs and the premise it could have been Anime of the Year if produced properly, but it wound up like a 6 out of 10 (real ranking from someone who watched it as it was airing and enjoyed it for what it was, but fwiw I'm not an Animation Snob so that element didn't really hurt my rating)
Gibiate? More like gibbering animal (which is the only explanation as to how something so awesome could be fucked up so badly; the production comittee was composed of them).
you know the funny thing is all the anime he listed, I watched the first few episodes of each. then I felt bad that I didn't want to watch them again. Now I don't feel bad anymore, they friggin sucked.
From MAL: "Gibiate was created by GIBIATE Project, a global IP development group consisting of internationally renowned Japanese creators such as Yoshitaka Amano ("Final Fantasy"), Naoki Serizawa ("Biohazard" / "Resident Evil"), Yuzo Koshiro (composer of "Ys" and "Act Raiser"), Yoshida Brothers (world-renowned shamisenist group) and SUGIZO (guitarist from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN)." --WTF HAPPENED???
I mean, when supernatural zombie things are attacking and destroying the world, your preconceived notions regarding what's physically possible or not probably go out the window. At that point, time traveling samurai are just another weird part of an already bizarre day lol
Hilariously 'samurai who travel into the future' is ALSO a plot point this past year in One Piece. And somehow it is less ridiculous that THIS bullshit.
i'm incredibly sorry, and honestly this video is all i've ever seen about gibiate, but the animation looks like yoshitaka amano's art in the same way that lacroix tastes like fruit smoothie
After watching all 12 episodes, I can safely say he doesn't emotionally want polyamory or a bachelor life but the dude has no impulse control (or even a brain from a lot of his choices) and cannot stand firm on his emotional wants and desires once tetas are in view. He is a simp-brain when there are no boobs involved and doesn't even enjoy the times he has but there was only one time it was legitimate r**e while the other times he just physically cannot resist with no good reasons. He has a mental breakdown in episode 9 over his stupidity (but never actually improves himself afterwards) which shows that he doesn't like any of it but he takes no responsibility for his actions.
@@e-memes808 I'll freely admit I haven't watched it at all, but a lot of it sounds like it stems from cultural differences between Japan and Western cultures, mostly in that Japan hasn't got circa 2,000 years of Judeo-Christian sexual guilt woven into its cultural makeup, which leads to some very different attitudes about sex and relationships. Japan is a country where mixed nude bathing is unremarkable, but a married couple might not hold hands in public because it is "too embarrassing". I'm not saying either version is better or worse, but it would probably at least make a lot more sense if you were Japanese, or at least better versed in that culture. Similarly, a lot of Japanese are HORRIFIED about the content of some Western media, which we find pretty unremarkable, especially when it comes to depiction of violence
@@talltroll7092 There is no mixed nude bathing in Japan, and they are far more conservative and repressive about sex, especially for women. And no, married couple holding hands is not "too embarassing". Children frequently hold hand without any romantic entanglements. They also don't find depiction of violence horrifying. I don't think you have any idea how Japan actually works from anywhere other than questionable anime. Which is a really bad depiction since it suggests that a girl would get raped twice every week in Tokyo, that the Yakuza is actually some kind of cool, that there are no law enforcement you can turn to, and that every woman sound like a teenage girl with one of 5 voices, and every man talks like they are giving a pep talk or yelling at their dad. But no, it has nothing to do with cultural differences between Japan and Western cultures. Japanese would find Peter just as detestable.
The point of that title seem to be lost on Geoff. The “Philosopher’s time” part refers to the moment of clarity a man experiences after ejaculating, in an otherwise perpetual horniness filled life.
"make the strongest baby possible" I'm stealing this idea to make a slice-of-life anime where the protag is a "100% Life Speedrunner." It will have such an incredibly niche audience, I'll call it like, 'Nich-Ecchi" or something and it's all told in like, 3rd Person by Protag in the future. Imagine it, "So, we chose to move towards the C-Section birthing option, it's faster and we can later use this to help in a later questline for our mother. We fuss a little so that the doctor slips and drops us, then we use the amniotic fluid to slide waaaay over here because our EXP modifier is almost 300% at this level. This boosts our athletics so we don't have to train it later on." No one will like it and causes 100% gamer rage, killing me instantly.
This actually sounds really fun. Like some outlandish and somewhat edgy setup that Heaven now only accepts people with record-breaking "life score", so the protagonist eternally repeats his whole life (Re:Zero with no checkpoints?) breaking his own records to try and win his way into the afterlife.
No only bad plot dynamics just to cement it into “ironically good” in the bad spectrum, like just tipping it so people don’t get bored but having it still be atrocious
@@sanfransiscon Trying to add any kind of bad fantasy anime tropes into it would just drag it down. No other reason need to exist other than "this guy is speedrunning life, don't ask why or how"
What destroys me is that Meteora shows up to attack the main cast prior to the finale TWICE, and the team successfully thinks they've killed her... twice... and the Doctor's reaction both times is just. Nothing. Until they need a final villain.
Wait, really?! They didn't even try to hint to it at all, like a short shot of him frowning, crying, or showing any emotion that could called sad?!?! Y Tho..
I truly, *genuinely* feel sorry for Geoff for forcing himself to watch any of Peter Grill. I was lied to years ago when the MonMusu anime was just out that "Peter Grill was just a more fantasy genre styled Monster Musume." and made it all of two and maybe a couple pages into chapter 3 when I just went "Fuck this series." Imagine my surprise when I heard it was getting animated. Geoff, if you're reading this right now; please have a warm cup of soothing tea, wrap up in a nice cozy blanket, put on RE:Creators again, and take some time for yourself because Jesus Christ do you deserve it just for Grill, let alone the rest of this list. Happy New Year to you and Yazy.
Peter Grill was one of the first anime that made me so uncomfortable that I dropped it. I've seen some trashy stuff, and I slogged my way through it in the vain hope that it would get better, but this one I couldn't do. I thought it going to be about how Peter would fight off the women because he was devoted to the one girl. Hell, he even entered and won a world-wide competition against the strongest people on the continent so that her father would finally give his approval. Then he spends every episode two, three and even five timing this girl that he allegedly wants to spend his life with. Geoff was right, this guy isn't a victim, he's a legitimately terrible person with no sense of honor, commitment or self control. Most bad anime characters either have their behavior explained with a scarring past but this guy is just a scumbag
Peter Grill aka NTR the series. I can't believe out of the hundreds of series im reading right now, they choose peter grill as a series to make an anime out of. More over they didn't even keep the fan service? Literally the only real point of that series, "not quite porn with a story(?)"
@@owenmaleski2203 Actually Peter *is* a victim. A rape victim. Except it is presented in a way that makes everyone (him included, the viewer included) think it is his fault. Being physically strong doesn't make you immune to being raped, and it doesn't transfer the responsibility of the rapist onto you. Just to be clear: I too am super pissed-off by this anime, but not for the same reason.
@@asterisk4540 everything in handshakers was ugly, so the filter didnt look as bad in comparisom, while gibiate is super stiff and ugly or super *boring,* and the latter is where it looks bad
@@Zyleace Hand Shakers is still the worst anime imo. I watched three episodes of Gibiate and it's just ugly and cringy to look at. Hand Shakers made me feel physically sick and I was literally unable to watch the first two episodes without pausing at some points so I could recover from the visual vomit. Of course I didn't watch any further (in hindsight I should've stopped after episode 1) If I were forced to marathon one of those anime without pausing, I'd choose the one that doesn't feel like it's actually trying to kill me.
I'm only SLIGHTLY upset that you didn't mention that the Shadowverse anime is a yugiou knockoff rather than an adaptation of the ACTUALLY VERY GOOD AND INTERESTING STORY AND LORE THAT IS ALREADY IN THE GAME IT'S BASED ON?!? Shadowverse has DAMN good character designs, and the general art, aesthetic, and feel of the world is VERY well executed, and even just among the few "playable" characters and campaign there's enough to build a show out of without even digging into the characters, stories, and lore presented in the cards themselves. But no, instead of capitalizing on ANY of that we get yet another dumb kid with bad hair and a thing on his arm. And now it turns out that it's not even a decent version of THAT? Fuck you, anime. I'll never not be mad about this.
To be fair it had some interesting characters to avoid the list like Alice, Mimori,Mauro and maybe Luka. But yeah if they could do a 45 episode anime I would want an adaptation of the game instead of what we got.
@@Blue-Code 8:30: Yeah, but even that one, he sure did not Try anything, huh? I mean, remember: HES THE MOST POWERFUL EVER. Could he really not do Anthing? Even if we accept he has no... magic-resistance... at all (?????), then he still got Options other than just Killing her in what i would definetly call Self-Defense. But yeah, anyway: This anime and it's concept makes me s-ck.
Sometimes I wonder how shows like these even get green-lit when there are countless manga, light novels, webtoons or even unlicensed web novels that are a thousand times more interesting and also far more popular.
One of the things about Peter Grill that also makes me uncomfortable is the fact that the consent is also dubious on his part. He doesn't even seem to ENJOY cheating on his betrothed, nor does he seem to want any of the girls' sexual advances in the first place. Not to mention he tells them "no" multiple times.
Darkest Dungeon is amazing for a lot more than that. My personal fav aspect of the game being that the party members and their toxic teamwork are just as big of a threat to each-other as any of the monsters they face. Idk why I haven't seen that replicated more.
Darkest Dungeon really is awesome... Until the game decides that your characters won't hit shit and the enemies keep landing crits every second attack. Or if you keep on going for one more room without resting just for the game to decide "Here have a Shambler" in the next hallway.^^
Oh what’s that? You have extreme amounts of stress and suffer from 2 diseases and 5 mental illnesses? And you only have a level 1 resolve?Lmao bye, we don’t need your ass here anymore.
I refuse to believe that "muff-kun" and "smile stick" weren't on purpose. Some Japanese script writer really insisted on those names and all his coworkers were really confused as to why he wanted them in the show so badly.
You know, even if it's not really a Heist Anime, a Battle Show where people are stealing magical artifacts from each other can work. Hell, it's basically the plot behind Xiaolin Showdown, increasing their arsenal as they-- "So if you were looking forward to the characters, say, adding to their arsenals with the artifacts they steal over the course of the story... don't. That would be too cool for this." ...oh...
I was thinking of Xiaolin too; it isn’t necessarily fatal to the show’s quality, but that style switch is very misleading, and they screw everything else up.
@@sarahcole9661 That'd be rad. If nothing else, there is Osakabehime in Fate/Grand Order, who fights with origami animals (including bats, horses, and rabbits).
They were very stupid, just like Shakespeare. Shakespeare was not taken seriously in his time, people viewed his work as akin to modern soap opera TV shows, only acted live on a stage.
@@InVinoVeratas Doesn't mean too much though. A lot of genuinely great artists that are popular among casual viewers and experts today where also barely recognized in their time.
@@alexschalk5439 didn’t say he was stupid, his plays were perceived as such. The English found it to be too melodramatic, and not logical enough. Many other play directors didn’t take Shakespeare seriously either. Now I’m not saying they’re right or wrong, but I am saying art is subjective, any many have many different interpretations of what is high concept art and what is considered to be low concept art.
@@InVinoVeratas That goes for any time but I wouldnt say Shakespeare wasnt recognised, his plays being loved by normal people is what kept them played for years. He was widely recognised as one of the best playwriters of his time, if not best and his troupe got patronage first from Lord Chamberlain and then King himself, becoming the Kings Men as they are more widely known as.
As a mix media artist, with a “messy but intricate kinda aesthetic” gibiate should’ve been completely traditionally animated, only using digital art for effects and the like, and not on a weekly schedule. They could’ve gone bonkers with the art direction, going for a surreal and art house kinda vibe, but they didn’t. They tried to put the unconventional designs and aesthetics into a conventional box, and it didn’t work.
That eugenics harem one is actually kinda legitimately disgusting. Like... the author of that one _really did_ think it would be relatable or funny? That we'd legitimately feel for him as _the poor innocent guy gets jumped by all these hussies and just CAN'T help himself_ - like, *_really?_* Or that occasion of "elf girl quasi-r*pes him"...? The author _must've_ thought that this would be relatable, pitiable and funny... which is off-putting to think about.
its kinda morally disgusting as is, but i also find it pretty dumb that this apparently famous celebrity-level warrior wouldnt already have like, a massive fanbase of people trying to propose to him before the onis even come into the picture. i feel like the author knows as much about celeb culture as he does about how to write humor
Makes me think that maybe the author was caught cheating and is trying to get other people to take his side in a /r amItheasshole kinda way. Like one of those "Women were throwing themselves at me?! How could I resist" excuse.
For anybody thinking, “I want a good parody of RPG tropes”: go read “How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps”. The entire book is a gut-busting parody (the kind you only get from truly loving what you are parodying) of basically every old-school JRPG.
Probably not as good of a parody as what you mentioned, but I'm watching a comedy anime that's airing now called Dragon Goes House-Hunting, which while that is exactly the plot of the show, it also shows the world more from the point of view of what we would all consider the enemies of an RPG video game. And yet, from their perspective, they're just trying to live their lives and the heroes are all assholes aho keep trying to kill them, lol. I don't usually care for classic RPG's, but I've been loving how it feels like the fourth wall is often obliterated. I'm confused as to if they're actually in a video game or as they use gamer terms, if their world has what to them would be "slice of life" games (games modeled after their world with exploring dungeons and such), though in our world, this would just be an RPG. This isn't the main focus of the anime so it shouldn't be thought about too hard, but it adds to a lot of the comedy and there's a lot of subverted expectations.
man, i just want a show with an all male main cast where all of the guys have a crush on the male mc, preferably isekai i know there is kyo kara maoh, but i feel like it's the only one that kinda fits the bill

@@mitkitty From what I can find online, the general consensus is that Romeo is 16, even if it's never actually confirmed in the play. The main takeaway here is that, yes, they are both stupid kids.
If you want sleight of hand stuff, then there's "Majo Ni Sasageru Trick", a manga about a genius stage magician who accidentally goes back in time to the dark ages in Europe and uses his stagecraft and sleight of hand to protect, and stage the escape of, women falsely accused of witchcraft.
So, I'd never seen Hatana Illusion, and when the magician-kaitou theme setup was explained, I got hyped. Then the actual plot was explained and I was like "So it's Xiaolin Showdown, but with stage magicians instead of monk martial artists?" That doesn't seem so bad; at least not bad enough to rank 2nd worst anime of 2020. Then he went on to explain how inconsistent the characters are with Hatana being routinely being reduced to a damsel in distress and Makoto's wand being a functional Deus ex Machina and suddenly I thought "Oh yeah, Xiaolin Showdown WOULD suck if it were written like that."
Gibiate immediately struck me as a fanfic written by someone that wanted to mashup all of their favorite genres and aethetics and retroactively did their best to tie it together with predictable plot.

If you like sleight of hand heist movies, absolutely try the show Leverage. It’s a whole bunch of criminals heisting other criminals Robin Hood style, and forming a found family as they do. Kinda cheesy but absolutely one of my favorite live action shows.
Gibiate's production sounds like they got together every single one of the best people they could to form the crew, meaning the result would have been an absolute masterpiece... ...but then they chose Neil Breen for director
I know a guy on the internet who made a better "romantic relationship between a mage and the soul of a mansion she has given sentience to with magic", with deeper characters and intricate plot development than this pile of composted garbage. In some fucking forum play-by-post roleplays. As a teenager.
I'm going to say it, detective/mystery/magician settings have no place having soft magic systems. And if they do hard magic, it had better have its foundation well explained. How is it even a mystery anymore if everything is an asspull?
Well, what if the main character is a completely non-magical performative magician who spends the story bamboozling literal sorcerers with terrifying magical powers? That could work. Thought granted, I think it would work better if the magic is harder.
@@HiddenDragon555 That's kind of the plot of Mx0, where someone with absolutely no magic gets enrolled in a magic school by accident, and he has to bullshit his way through most of the fights (he does get some magic help every now and then).
The off-model moments of all these shows are amazing, especially the Gibiate samurai dude looking different in each shot and the random balloon heads in the harem animes' fanservice shots. Poor animators, probably having had to rush through this, though.
14:45 "Eating food that the white kingdom doesn't put enough seasoning on..." Wait a minute... England? "... by accident." Oh my god, even better! Accidental subtext is best subtext lol
The eugenics harem missed out on some potential, if it had drawn a line of severe consequences for his actions and his continued actions were a result of his new addiction to sex that perpetuated this harmful cycle to everyone around him. Hell the situations he finds himself in are comedic enough (its an anime) that they didn't really didnt need to beat us over the head with it. Let the situations be comedic and breath while showing us the consequences. Which would make him sympathetic without excusing his actions.
I mean, it’s not the kind of show I’d like to watch anyway, but if they had made his goal about “Finding true love” and believing his ‘true love’ to be pure girl and THEN getting swamped with horny sidecharacters it would basically solve the whole issue. If he believes that he’s in love with the girl but he’s not actually committed to her in anyway then you could basically keep the whole plot of him trying to get with her while hiding all the other things with none of the uncomfortable stuff. If you went a little deeper you could even make it an interesting take on what the difference between true love, infatuation and sexual attraction is.
Someone else compared it to Xiaolin Showdown, since both shows are action series where most of the powers come from magical artifacts, and a lot of plots focus around obtaining and protecting these relics.

He was actually lamenting that the anime industry was too full of Otaku. _"You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life'. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!"_ Although at the same time, one of his favorite people is Hideaki Anno, who is supposedly a major otaku.
"she tsundere, so we're just expected to like her" just reminds me about how i feel about ALL tsundere characters. i will nevre understand why so many of my fellow anime fans best girl the tsundere characters. i mean sure you like what you like not, saying your wrong, just i will never be able to figure out why. its like a man born blind trying to figure out colors for me.
Simple, it's because then they can imagine girls/boys who hate them actually love them. I have an acquaintance back then who did exactly this when a girl is angry, he just brushed it off as "She's just being tsundere." It feeds the satisfaction of seeing that even people who they thought is impossible to be with secretly loves them.
It can work, and not just in a Asuka deconstructionist way. Kurisu from Steins;Gate is a tsundere but mostly because Okabe’s personality draws it out of her and to a lesser extent her own nerd shame. That being said she is definitely the exception rather than the rule.
What "best girl" characters are you talking about exactly? There's a massive variety of tsundere characters with humongous variety in writing quality. "Tsundere" only means someone who seems mean initially but who also has or develops a more cheery side. There's a ludicrous number of different ways you can do that type of character, which also means there's an insane number of different explanations for at some point consider some tsundere a best girl.
I just realized that one of the core concepts behind Hatana Illusion is the entire premise behind Warehouse 13, and to a greater extent the SCP Foundation. And both those properties do the whole "objects that have supernatural properties" schtick way better, and are way more entertaining and interesting.

Hell yeah, gives me confidence to create my show🤣
Same.

The harem actually makes me feel more bad for the girl who he "loves" than the guy. Imagine finding out the guy who you planned to marry slept with 3+ girls behind your back.
Not just that, but the message the writers sent was "if you live your life as a prude, you're definitely gonna get cheated on." Like. As a woman who stayed a virgin til marriage because of my own personal values, that feels pretty crappy. Also, the other message the writers sent was "no consequences for cheaters, yay!" Not only did they romanticize scumbaggery, they FAILED at romanticizing scumbaggery. 0/10, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
If you think about it, he was just grinding mobs before the boss fight.
@@infinitemidnightghostmourner THIS. You just *know* the person is a scumbag if that's the message they want to convey.
How much do you want to convey the authors message of "I don't care about my partner's wishes. If she doesn't want to have sex with me then she shouldn't be suprised I cheated on her" without saying anything?
This anime: Yes
but can you blame him? he's not cheating with a bunch of fives, there all solid gold 10s! no man can resist such attacks, no matter how much love there is.
@@TheRogueEmpire Still his fault. If you already promised someone a future, don't go off to sleep with other women, even if they're a 10. That's just common sense and the number 1 rule of how not to be a scumbag.
He doesn't even have to common decency to break it off with the girl after the first time. He's scum and you just can't justify his actions.
"Their character arc is a line" is one of the most well-worded indictments of a one-dimensional character I've ever heard.
yea lol
Literally a linear path. 1d at its finest.
The anime about the guy cheating on his fiancee makes me genuinely uncomfortable, there are some things you just cannot frame in a positive light.
Like its the most unrelatable thing. If i was peter i would simply stay my ass at home with my girlfriend. Rip to him but im different.
@@rikowolfin4984 see that would all be fine and good(aside form the cheating obviously) if the show didn't oddly potray Peter as a victim and the girls as likeble. Prison school did this better.

"Gibiate was created by GIBIATE Project, a global IP development group consisting of internationally renowned Japanese creators such as Yoshitaka Amano ("Final Fantasy"), Naoki Serizawa ("Biohazard" / "Resident Evil"), Yuzo Koshiro (composer of "Ys" and "Act Raiser"), Yoshida Brothers (world-renowned shamisenist group) and SUGIZO (guitarist from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN)."

You forgot to mention how most people immediately believed the samurais traveled in time instead of believing they were crazy like any normal person.
I mean, when supernatural zombie things are attacking and destroying the world, your preconceived notions regarding what's physically possible or not probably go out the window. At that point, time traveling samurai are just another weird part of an already bizarre day lol
Oh yeah, there was also that. Same with the alien thing, no one bat an eyelash at the doctor's revelation.
Hilariously 'samurai who travel into the future' is ALSO a plot point this past year in One Piece. And somehow it is less ridiculous that THIS bullshit.

Honestly you saying Peter wants a polyamorous relationship is giving him to much credit. He really just seems to want a bachelor's life style.
After watching all 12 episodes, I can safely say he doesn't emotionally want polyamory or a bachelor life but the dude has no impulse control (or even a brain from a lot of his choices) and cannot stand firm on his emotional wants and desires once tetas are in view. He is a simp-brain when there are no boobs involved and doesn't even enjoy the times he has but there was only one time it was legitimate r**e while the other times he just physically cannot resist with no good reasons. He has a mental breakdown in episode 9 over his stupidity (but never actually improves himself afterwards) which shows that he doesn't like any of it but he takes no responsibility for his actions.
@@e-memes808 I'll freely admit I haven't watched it at all, but a lot of it sounds like it stems from cultural differences between Japan and Western cultures, mostly in that Japan hasn't got circa 2,000 years of Judeo-Christian sexual guilt woven into its cultural makeup, which leads to some very different attitudes about sex and relationships. Japan is a country where mixed nude bathing is unremarkable, but a married couple might not hold hands in public because it is "too embarrassing". I'm not saying either version is better or worse, but it would probably at least make a lot more sense if you were Japanese, or at least better versed in that culture. Similarly, a lot of Japanese are HORRIFIED about the content of some Western media, which we find pretty unremarkable, especially when it comes to depiction of violence
+Tall Troll

@@perfectcyan1153 ?
@@talltroll7092 There is no mixed nude bathing in Japan, and they are far more conservative and repressive about sex, especially for women. And no, married couple holding hands is not "too embarassing". Children frequently hold hand without any romantic entanglements. They also don't find depiction of violence horrifying.
I don't think you have any idea how Japan actually works from anywhere other than questionable anime. Which is a really bad depiction since it suggests that a girl would get raped twice every week in Tokyo, that the Yakuza is actually some kind of cool, that there are no law enforcement you can turn to, and that every woman sound like a teenage girl with one of 5 voices, and every man talks like they are giving a pep talk or yelling at their dad.
But no, it has nothing to do with cultural differences between Japan and Western cultures. Japanese would find Peter just as detestable.
The fact that his name is "Peter Grill" is something I have not been able to get over in the months since.

The point of that title seem to be lost on Geoff. The “Philosopher’s time” part refers to the moment of clarity a man experiences after ejaculating, in an otherwise perpetual horniness filled life.
Peter Grill is one of the funniest animes ive seen and the first time ive actually felt bad about a Hentai Protagonist, but funny none the less

Seems to be a thing with him.
"make the strongest baby possible"
I'm stealing this idea to make a slice-of-life anime where the protag is a "100% Life Speedrunner." It will have such an incredibly niche audience, I'll call it like, 'Nich-Ecchi" or something and it's all told in like, 3rd Person by Protag in the future.
Imagine it, "So, we chose to move towards the C-Section birthing option, it's faster and we can later use this to help in a later questline for our mother. We fuss a little so that the doctor slips and drops us, then we use the amniotic fluid to slide waaaay over here because our EXP modifier is almost 300% at this level. This boosts our athletics so we don't have to train it later on."
No one will like it and causes 100% gamer rage, killing me instantly.
This actually sounds really fun.
Like some outlandish and somewhat edgy setup that Heaven now only accepts people with record-breaking "life score", so the protagonist eternally repeats his whole life (Re:Zero with no checkpoints?) breaking his own records to try and win his way into the afterlife.

Y Tho..
So he didn't have just one but THREE chances to say "hey don't kill her she's my lover!"? Seriously what the hell is this garbage story?
I truly, *genuinely* feel sorry for Geoff for forcing himself to watch any of Peter Grill. I was lied to years ago when the MonMusu anime was just out that "Peter Grill was just a more fantasy genre styled Monster Musume." and made it all of two and maybe a couple pages into chapter 3 when I just went "Fuck this series." Imagine my surprise when I heard it was getting animated.
Geoff, if you're reading this right now; please have a warm cup of soothing tea, wrap up in a nice cozy blanket, put on RE:Creators again, and take some time for yourself because Jesus Christ do you deserve it just for Grill, let alone the rest of this list. Happy New Year to you and Yazy.
Peter Grill was one of the first anime that made me so uncomfortable that I dropped it. I've seen some trashy stuff, and I slogged my way through it in the vain hope that it would get better, but this one I couldn't do. I thought it going to be about how Peter would fight off the women because he was devoted to the one girl. Hell, he even entered and won a world-wide competition against the strongest people on the continent so that her father would finally give his approval. Then he spends every episode two, three and even five timing this girl that he allegedly wants to spend his life with. Geoff was right, this guy isn't a victim, he's a legitimately terrible person with no sense of honor, commitment or self control. Most bad anime characters either have their behavior explained with a scarring past but this guy is just a scumbag
Peter Grill aka NTR the series.
I can't believe out of the hundreds of series im reading right now, they choose peter grill as a series to make an anime out of.
More over they didn't even keep the fan service? Literally the only real point of that series, "not quite porn with a story(?)"
Comparing that to Monster Musume is a stretch.
@@owenmaleski2203 Actually Peter *is* a victim. A rape victim. Except it is presented in a way that makes everyone (him included, the viewer included) think it is his fault.
Being physically strong doesn't make you immune to being raped, and it doesn't transfer the responsibility of the rapist onto you.
Just to be clear: I too am super pissed-off by this anime, but not for the same reason.
wtf is it that weird that I enjoyed watching it?
The gibiate purple-green filter personally looks WORSE than in handshakers.
Why is that possible? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
@@asterisk4540 everything in handshakers was ugly, so the filter didnt look as bad in comparisom, while gibiate is super stiff and ugly or super *boring,* and the latter is where it looks bad
When people thought that Hand Shakers is a bad anime until Gibiate got released.
How is that even possible?
@@Zyleace Hand Shakers is still the worst anime imo. I watched three episodes of Gibiate and it's just ugly and cringy to look at. Hand Shakers made me feel physically sick and I was literally unable to watch the first two episodes without pausing at some points so I could recover from the visual vomit. Of course I didn't watch any further (in hindsight I should've stopped after episode 1)
If I were forced to marathon one of those anime without pausing, I'd choose the one that doesn't feel like it's actually trying to kill me.
“The funny- the thing about that is” is one of the best low blows I’ve heard in a while
I'm only SLIGHTLY upset that you didn't mention that the Shadowverse anime is a yugiou knockoff rather than an adaptation of the ACTUALLY VERY GOOD AND INTERESTING STORY AND LORE THAT IS ALREADY IN THE GAME IT'S BASED ON?!? Shadowverse has DAMN good character designs, and the general art, aesthetic, and feel of the world is VERY well executed, and even just among the few "playable" characters and campaign there's enough to build a show out of without even digging into the characters, stories, and lore presented in the cards themselves. But no, instead of capitalizing on ANY of that we get yet another dumb kid with bad hair and a thing on his arm. And now it turns out that it's not even a decent version of THAT? Fuck you, anime.
I'll never not be mad about this.
To be fair it had some interesting characters to avoid the list like Alice, Mimori,Mauro and maybe Luka. But yeah if they could do a 45 episode anime I would want an adaptation of the game instead of what we got.

One of the things about Peter Grill that also makes me uncomfortable is the fact that the consent is also dubious on his part. He doesn't even seem to ENJOY cheating on his betrothed, nor does he seem to want any of the girls' sexual advances in the first place. Not to mention he tells them "no" multiple times.

That’s what Darkest Dungeon feels like and it’s awesome.

@@InVinoVeratas
That goes for any time but I wouldnt say Shakespeare wasnt recognised, his plays being loved by normal people is what kept them played for years.
He was widely recognised as one of the best playwriters of his time, if not best and his troupe got patronage first from Lord Chamberlain and then King himself, becoming the Kings Men as they are more widely known as.
As a mix media artist, with a “messy but intricate kinda aesthetic” gibiate should’ve been completely traditionally animated, only using digital art for effects and the like, and not on a weekly schedule. They could’ve gone bonkers with the art direction, going for a surreal and art house kinda vibe, but they didn’t. They tried to put the unconventional designs and aesthetics into a conventional box, and it didn’t work.
Yeah, they totally failed to accommodate for the special treatment that art style needs.
Haven’t got to that part yet.. already feeling sorry for the creators...
Will it last?
A lot of things went wrong with gibiate, and it's a real shame since the general synopsis and it's concept art were awesome.
That... would have been perfect, visual wise.
I dunno what Geoff is talking about, adapting Amano art to animation is easy, just be Yoshiaki Kawajiri.

Thanks for the recommendation. Bought it, read it, loved it. Although it's really more of a Zelda parody than JRPGs.
Probably not as good of a parody as what you mentioned, but I'm watching a comedy anime that's airing now called Dragon Goes House-Hunting, which while that is exactly the plot of the show, it also shows the world more from the point of view of what we would all consider the enemies of an RPG video game. And yet, from their perspective, they're just trying to live their lives and the heroes are all assholes aho keep trying to kill them, lol. I don't usually care for classic RPG's, but I've been loving how it feels like the fourth wall is often obliterated. I'm confused as to if they're actually in a video game or as they use gamer terms, if their world has what to them would be "slice of life" games (games modeled after their world with exploring dungeons and such), though in our world, this would just be an RPG. This isn't the main focus of the anime so it shouldn't be thought about too hard, but it adds to a lot of the comedy and there's a lot of subverted expectations.
Hey there are good frames in Gibiate!

So, I'd never seen Hatana Illusion, and when the magician-kaitou theme setup was explained, I got hyped. Then the actual plot was explained and I was like "So it's Xiaolin Showdown, but with stage magicians instead of monk martial artists?" That doesn't seem so bad; at least not bad enough to rank 2nd worst anime of 2020.
Then he went on to explain how inconsistent the characters are with Hatana being routinely being reduced to a damsel in distress and Makoto's wand being a functional Deus ex Machina and suddenly I thought "Oh yeah, Xiaolin Showdown WOULD suck if it were written like that."
Gibiate immediately struck me as a fanfic written by someone that wanted to mashup all of their favorite genres and aethetics and retroactively did their best to tie it together with predictable plot.

I feel like that wannabe heist animes writer has a bondage fetish.
You say that like its a bad thing. XD
But just having you characters get bounded up constantly randomly because villain,plot, damsel.
Its just pointless
@@MouseGoat i don't really have anything against it either. I myself have a Bondage fetish but I simply hate the damsel in distress trope.
Are there any anime with a plot like the Italian Job or something like that?
@@owenmaleski2203 italian job?
@@igorpachmelniekzakuskov776 It's a heist movie about these guys who found a ton of gold bars in a sunken ship, but part of the group turned on the others, tried to kill them and stole all the gold. So it's about how the rest of the group is trying to take back the gold that was stolen, which isn't easy because the guy now has over $30 million at his disposal
If you like sleight of hand heist movies, absolutely try the show Leverage. It’s a whole bunch of criminals heisting other criminals Robin Hood style, and forming a found family as they do. Kinda cheesy but absolutely one of my favorite live action shows.
"We have Major Armstrong at home" killed me
Gibiate is worthy of being remembered only as one of the most legendarily awful anime of the modern age!
Right.? I watched the first couple episodes a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop laughing.
Will the modern age ever equal classic disasters like Chargeman Ken?
@@allanolley4874 I say Gibiate is the modern day Mars of Destruction.
@@allanolley4874 I haven’t had the pleasure of watching that one.
@@allanolley4874 i mean pupa was in the modern age
Gibiate's production sounds like they got together every single one of the best people they could to form the crew, meaning the result would have been an absolute masterpiece...
...but then they chose Neil Breen for director
2020 was so bad that Geoff totally blocked out the fact that it was a Leap Year. 366 days, not 365 days were in this year.
The fact that even I didn’t know that makes me question myself
Happy Leap Year again! 😂 From the present in 2024.
"Fucking the House" should be a cool arc in an anime about phantom thieves and not a lame recurring gag.
I got Junji Ito flashbacks.
I heard in the RPG Exalted someone MADE LOVE TO A MOUNTAIN VIA ARTIFACT USE
Caused it to erupt!
I know a guy on the internet who made a better "romantic relationship between a mage and the soul of a mansion she has given sentience to with magic", with deeper characters and intricate plot development than this pile of composted garbage. In some fucking forum play-by-post roleplays. As a teenager.
I'm going to say it, detective/mystery/magician settings have no place having soft magic systems. And if they do hard magic, it had better have its foundation well explained. How is it even a mystery anymore if everything is an asspull?
Depends on how it's handled.
Painfully accurate
Well, what if the main character is a completely non-magical performative magician who spends the story bamboozling literal sorcerers with terrifying magical powers? That could work. Thought granted, I think it would work better if the magic is harder.
@@HiddenDragon555 That's kind of the plot of Mx0, where someone with absolutely no magic gets enrolled in a magic school by accident, and he has to bullshit his way through most of the fights (he does get some magic help every now and then).
@@HiddenDragon555 that reminds me of Mob Psycho 100s fake psychic character
Gibiate looks like if someone was a huge fan of Darkplace, but didn’t realize it’s not a real show.
i didnt even give that show the light of day after reading the summary for it.
The off-model moments of all these shows are amazing, especially the Gibiate samurai dude looking different in each shot and the random balloon heads in the harem animes' fanservice shots.
Poor animators, probably having had to rush through this, though.
"tropes that were tired when love hina stole it from Ranma in the 90's " that is by far the most savage take I've heard in years. Love the content

“An extremely faithful adaptation of your teenage deviantart gallery”
LORD, THAT HIT DIFFERENT
Teenage Deviantart favorites gallery, to put it more accurately.

Useful, not good
When dragons dogma is only number 5...
The eugenics harem missed out on some potential, if it had drawn a line of severe consequences for his actions and his continued actions were a result of his new addiction to sex that perpetuated this harmful cycle to everyone around him. Hell the situations he finds himself in are comedic enough (its an anime) that they didn't really didnt need to beat us over the head with it. Let the situations be comedic and breath while showing us the consequences. Which would make him sympathetic without excusing his actions.
Welcome to new era isekai where you have an severe overcompensation to make up for the years blueballing the tv audience
I mean, it’s not the kind of show I’d like to watch anyway, but if they had made his goal about “Finding true love” and believing his ‘true love’ to be pure girl and THEN getting swamped with horny sidecharacters it would basically solve the whole issue. If he believes that he’s in love with the girl but he’s not actually committed to her in anyway then you could basically keep the whole plot of him trying to get with her while hiding all the other things with none of the uncomfortable stuff. If you went a little deeper you could even make it an interesting take on what the difference between true love, infatuation and sexual attraction is.
"cringe is very much in the skin of the becringer" i- i will be stealing this line thank you very much
For some reason the whole “magic artifact that can be normal objects and are detrimental to ones health” reminded me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R
a STALKER anime would be awesome tbh
@@piririn5052 that would be sick. Would be weird as hell seeing a bloodsucker or snork in an anime art style tho
Someone else compared it to Xiaolin Showdown, since both shows are action series where most of the powers come from magical artifacts, and a lot of plots focus around obtaining and protecting these relics.
@@piririn5052 Otherside picnic is literally yuri S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
But unironically this would be awesome. They could even integrate the multiple choices thing by way of a reality division in the zone where alternate versions of Strelok do different things and you have to parse which timeline is which.
“Anime bad” - Hayao Miyazaki, probably
"Horror genre bad"- Stephen king,most certainly.
I'm pretty sure Miyazaki has said every based opinion to be said about anime already.
Anime bad - hideo kojima
He was actually lamenting that the anime industry was too full of Otaku.
_"You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life'. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!"_
Although at the same time, one of his favorite people is Hideaki Anno, who is supposedly a major otaku.
@@aquamarinerose5405 all otaku are created differently
literally don’t know what to say.
I just feel really bad for the animators for having to put up with this shit
"she tsundere, so we're just expected to like her" just reminds me about how i feel about ALL tsundere characters. i will nevre understand why so many of my fellow anime fans best girl the tsundere characters. i mean sure you like what you like not, saying your wrong, just i will never be able to figure out why. its like a man born blind trying to figure out colors for me.
Simple, it's because then they can imagine girls/boys who hate them actually love them. I have an acquaintance back then who did exactly this when a girl is angry, he just brushed it off as "She's just being tsundere." It feeds the satisfaction of seeing that even people who they thought is impossible to be with secretly loves them.
@@kuraiaku2997 no offense but that sounds really cringey.
It can work, and not just in a Asuka deconstructionist way. Kurisu from Steins;Gate is a tsundere but mostly because Okabe’s personality draws it out of her and to a lesser extent her own nerd shame. That being said she is definitely the exception rather than the rule.
@@steventonche1037 Yeah it was an absolute cringe I got secondhand embarrassment witnessing that moment.
What "best girl" characters are you talking about exactly? There's a massive variety of tsundere characters with humongous variety in writing quality. "Tsundere" only means someone who seems mean initially but who also has or develops a more cheery side. There's a ludicrous number of different ways you can do that type of character, which also means there's an insane number of different explanations for at some point consider some tsundere a best girl.
Imagine not commenting after the premiere, pssssssshhhhh

I just realized that one of the core concepts behind Hatana Illusion is the entire premise behind Warehouse 13, and to a greater extent the SCP Foundation. And both those properties do the whole "objects that have supernatural properties" schtick way better, and are way more entertaining and interesting.
i LOVE your longer videos, especially your rants and roasts. You can take as long as you need to destroy the i will still watch the video twice
My roomie and I have this habit of trying to watch at least one seasonal anime together every week. So, when that season came, I read the synopsis of GIBIATE and I told him that we should totally watch it. We watched two episodes, he looked at me and all I could say to him was: "I'm sorry".
The second Yoshitaka Amano was mentioned as the concept artist, the weight of how dissapointing this show ended up being hit me like a truck
I realised quite how bad as soon as it was said that the amazing art I was sure was Amano was said to be the concept art I was filled with despair
it's honestly a little odd how 3D animation seems to do his work better but they still failed in this
God some of these had actually Interesting ideas
Too bad the Authors didn't care
How it usually is in these lists
YOU REALLY THOUGHT KILLING ME WOULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE ME DIE!?
I want that on a shirt.
It actually kinda hurt just hearing talk about Gibiate, that’s how bad it is...at least I learned to drop shows once I’m bored of them
Gibiate looks good to me.
I missed this sort of anime.
But of course, let's criticize this kind of anime, even though it's so rare, so it would become even more rare, thus making fans of this kind of anime even more sad, while fans of more popular stuff are happy because their popular stuff is poplar. You do like to kick dead horses, EHHHHHH. AHAHAHAH. ...No, seriously, most of the anime and videogames i love are the ones that most people hate. I'm so tired of people shitting on my favorite stuff.
@@KeyleeTamirian Get over it then. If you like when aviod people shitting on it. I like DmC. And I aviod stuff that shit over it.
@@tavoknaza7086 I do enjoy DmC a lot as a game, i usually don't like when people put it above mainline series. I love the insanity aesthethic of DmC, but it's on a different unmeasurable plane than original DMC, i don't like when people compare those two to decide which better or worse. Both are awesome on their own way.
I still have a hard time dropping Animes when I don’t like them... I just can’t stand not knowing what goes on even if it’s shit... help me.
@@Blue_910 It's okay. I will say it's actually good thing do not drop. Because this way, you would experience and know the problems of the Anime you watch, rather than "TH-camr said it's bad" Besides, Bad anime is as good experience as Good Anime, and it will make you appreciate good anime even more.
listening to our dear Geoff rant about anything is entertaining beyond imagination. Even if I have no idea what he's ranting about.
EXACTLY! Stole the words right out of my mouth lol!
I wonder why I feel that way when I listen to Geoff

20:10 sounds like another case where Brandon Sandersons "rules of magic" apply:
Rule One: An authors ability to resolve conflict satisfactorily with magic is directly proportional to how well the reader understands said magic.
Rule Two: Limitations are more interesting than powers.
Rule Three: Expand what you already have before you add something new.
while I would not say the are strict rules you have to follow 100%, they are good guide-lines imo.
Nah, screw rules of writing.
I say when Writers abandon rules of writing, that is when pure masterpieses are born.
Those rules only cage the writers.
I am supporter of PURE CRAZINES AND INSANITY.
@@KeyleeTamirian and the result? Bad magic systems
@@konata4567 What is a bad magic systems?
...umm... i think you people talk about Non-Satisfactory endings. ...Well, yeah, they exist. But i accepted them as a norm, because i never were satisfied with endings since i was a kid. So when something in plot is done badly... to me it's a flaw which exists everywhere. Bad story is a story too. We can learn from good stories... as well as we can learn from good stories as an opposite. I don't understand why must i have a "professional opinion" over stuff, liking stuff that is good and disliking what is bad. I prefer to be myself, on a different spectrum, outside of order. I am an observer, not participator.
@@KeyleeTamirian Break the rule by all means. But make sure you know what the rules are. The author of the heist anime just dived straight into every cliche without even trying to break a meaningful rule.
@@Monar88 I dunno about today's anime, but i see to love late 90's anime with their overly religious symbolism and nearly incomprehensible plots. Same goes for late 90's Japanese videogames. They are so insane compared to what people make today. The less accessible story is, the more challenging it is to understand it, which makes it more exciting... at least for me.
General rule on titles, if an anime title ends with the words "the Animation", it usually means that it's based on a videogame.
There's a reason Watchmojo said Gibiate is already a strong contender for worst anime of the decade
