Extreme Anime Hot Takes that will keep you on your toes.

1. Gon is more of a villain than Hisoka.
• Gon is a selfish, reckless sociopath who nearly killed himself for revenge. Hisoka is honest about his twisted nature, while Gon hides behind “friendship” and “adventure.”
2. Asta is a better protagonist than Deku.
• Asta worked for his strength, stayed confident, and inspired others. Deku got gifted OP power, cries constantly, and relies too much on legacy rather than individuality.
3. Saitama would not actually beat Goku.
• “He’s a gag character” is a cop-out argument. One Punch Man follows power-scaling rules, and his toughest fights prove he has limits. Goku fights reality-breaking beings all the time.
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion is overrated as “deep.”
• People pretend it’s intellectual when it’s just existential depression mixed with random biblical imagery. If Hideaki Anno says it was never that deep, why do fans act like it is?
5. Hunter x Hunter fans act like it’s flawless, but it has some of the worst pacing in shonen.
• Chimera Ant Arc took 60 episodes for an arc that could’ve been done in 30. Yorknew and the Exam Arc were peak, but let’s be real—Greed Island was filler-tier.
6. Tokyo Ghoul’s anime isn’t as bad as people say—Root A was just misunderstood.
• The manga is obviously better, but Root A had some cool ideas. It just needed proper execution.
7. Boruto’s time-skip will be better than Naruto Shippuden.
• The new generation has higher stakes, better power scaling, and an MC that actually struggles. Boruto is going through real pain, while Naruto had plot armor galore.
8. Re:Zero’s Emilia is NOT best girl—she’s a plot device.
• Subaru fights **** for her, but what does she actually contribute besides being a royal figure? Rem and Beatrice had better development.
9. Dragon Ball fans refuse to admit that DBZ peaked at the Cell Saga.
• Buu Saga dragged on with comedy and wasted Gohan’s potential. Super is just nostalgia bait with some cool fights. Cell Saga had the best tension, storytelling, and character arcs.
10. Erased had a fire mystery, but the romance ruined it.

• Satoru x Kayo should’ve never been a thing, and the ending made it worse by sidelining Kayo with a random dude. The mystery was the only reason people stayed hooked.
