I see that you like the villain main characters. Is it because they are usually more complex?

Hot take, but Denji is basically just a horny teen and that doesn’t really appeal to me, personally. I understand this is from a writing perspective though, but if that’s the case, I would put someone like Kafka over Denji🤷‍♀️ decent list though

most people who glaze eren+light+lelouch as a combo think that they were all 100% morally correct awesome based sigma etc so that s tier was a fat red flag before i checked the comments, you got valid reasoning tho

Thorfin as SS? That’s interesting but you’ve probably watched more than just s1 so now I’m really curious how the anime plays out! Edward at S tier is acceptable 🙂‍↕️

It’s partially cause he was sus but also I thought erased was kinda predictable so I didn’t enjoy it as much in general.

I lowkey agree that Kaneki should be lower. I didn’t really know where to put him. But I think Frieren is in the perfect spot for now. After season 2 she could be in the top tier.

Predictable, not to sound mean or anything, but what episode did you realize he was going to Spider-Man himself?

Wdym by spiderman himself? By predictable I meant that the main plot twist was kinda obvious. I can’t say that everything that happened was predictable.

People don’t understand denji at all, he is taken advantage of by people (namely women) who want his power the whole series and since he has never experienced being loved in his life he is easily manipulated, tragic character surrounded by loss and manipulation

And I understand that. I just think it’s poorly written. In shows like that, I feel like they typically get lost in catering to audiences that they forget the deep stuff. Which is why he isn’t my favorite, because they don’t handle the deep stuff very well.

You’re right, my opinion is my opinion. I just wish they fleshed it out more, not that his specific character was poorly written with what they had. I just think it would be better if they spent more time on that.
