I used to watch at 1-3 episodes of everything that was airing regardless of genre and put anything that seemed good on the backlog in ranked tiers and watched the best ones as they aired. Obviously many were good but there were so many where the primary flaw was pedo content and many would be excellent without just that. So much trash tier crap though. Like really fucking stupid.

This watch ranking procedure led to how I came to use in another world with my smartphone as the benchmark for utter shit, and a series can receive the "at least better than isekai smartphone" award.

The biggest non-pedo slog I for some reason watched all of was phi brain. I have no idea why I toughed out the whole thing. Basically professor layton but the puzzle obsession is fully deranged. I call any series where the world revolves around something really autistic a phi brain type.

One of my favourite scenes across all anime was in a generic romance about book boy and track girl where they eat in front of a mural of an obvious beaver tails knockoff, boaver tails... I watched the whole thing and that's all I remember about it. If anyone can ID this one I want to go back and grab a screencap of the mural.

I really hate when a good series becomes pedotarded though. I'm still pissed about that one where a guy becomes an adoptive father but right at the end there was some shit where the girl's childhood friend slash almost boyfriend maybe hooked up with some other girl so main girl felt betrayed and starts dating her dad leading to one of the most egregious lines in anime, that I cant remember 100% accurately, but it dumbed down to essentially "I want to get mad at my daughter's gross old man boyfriend... but he's me"

At the very fucking least don't make parenting anime pedo.
