Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Bakemonogatari — The experimental cinematography, great soundtrack, abstract environments, and the deeply personal stories... 9/10. Hexbear won't like it though. The Hitagi Crab arc was my favorite.
Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight — It had a strong opening but I'm not really sure how I feel about the series overall... A lot of episodes introduced an interpersonal issue between characters and then resolved it in a single episode. But that's what you get when you have twelve episodes, deuteragonists, and seven other girls you're trying to tell a story about, too.
Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc — It was good, but it's definitely overrated. #2 on MAL and 4.4 on Letterboxd? Yeah right...
And then I'm also watching This Monster Wants to Eat Me and A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace.
Wherefore dost thou say this? Art thou not alswa a typical specimen of the humble hexbear?
I might like to find another stage acting anime, now that I've finished Sakura Wars and also dropped Hinako Note due to its libertarianism. It's a shame that you can't strictly recommend Revue Starlight, but I guess there's bound to be plenty of others...
I'm reminded of Love Live: I was kind of disappointed with that show because they had so many characters and so little time to actually flesh them out. Then again they did make a second season of Love Live, so maybe I should see that before passing judgment.
But the point still stands that there are honestly so many anime that get 12 episodes when they really deserve 24, sometimes even more than that. The reverse also happens sometimes, but it's a lot rarer.
Ooh, a mermaid thing? That sounds like it could be nice. I'm looking forward to SayoLara next year.
What, a slice-of-life comedy anime where the protagonist is a grown ass woman instead of a high school girl?! Ma sha Allah!
Bakemonogatari is libidinal and takes place in high school. That's why.
If you're looking for a stage acting anime then I would recommend Revue Starlight and I'd like to hear your thoughts after you finish it (and the movie).
Yeah, but I'm just saying, if you've seen and enjoyed libidinal high school anime, and I've seen and enjoyed libidinal high school anime, and I can name other users here who have seen and enjoyed libidinal high school anime… Then maybe people would be more open to Bakemonogatari than you'd think.
Comrade, I'm SHAFT's number one fedaykin here. Though obviously you gotta CW the fact that their work is almost always unapologetically horny, Shinbo Style (though the best example is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) is always a visual treat. The Hitagi Crab arc is great, though the final of the original broadcast (the one with the "date" to the field) is my favorite stand out episode.
