Three Kingdoms is a touchstone of world literature, and the only reason Westerners aren't intimately familiar with it is because of racism.

Code Geass ran out of steam after the first season, and its contrivances no longer felt like fun little twists and more like bulldozing the plot so it could get where they wanted it to go. Once they stopped being underdogs it just wasn't fun anymore, and the big reveals were lame.

"here's all the characters you know and like in a pretty cool situation. Enjoy" that's pretty much as good as an anime movie can be. Mirello has issued a correction as of 17:28 on May 9, 2022 |

speaking of Geass, I really liked the... what was it? OVA? Movie? they released a few years ago because it was just very fun to see the studio take all their toys out of storage to smash them together again. Very childish but in a fun way.

I'm also a total sucker for "protagonist vows to do evil for the sake of justice" plots. Planet With didn't make a big splash or anything, but I still enjoyed the first episode ending with the protagonist beating the poo poo out of the leader of the super sentai hero squad, stealing the source of his transformation power, and then vowing to beat the poo poo out of the rest of them
