Hot Take Review - Episode 9

Back for another installment of Hot Take review.

"Hayao Miyazaki is Overrated"
His films have a story book element to them that translates well in any language not just his native Japanese, he deserves the credit and since he's more or less retired, he's not put on a pedestal so much anymore, so no he's not overrated.

"Detective Conan should finally end"
Many people forget that this anime has been going on longer than One Piece, it's presence is so small now that I have to remind myself it still airs, so yeah, it should call time on it's run.

"Every Sci Fi anime reuses Akira's story"

No, they just reuse this scene instead.
Real talk, Akira is full of dark gritty neon city cyber punk aesthetics originally created by Western sci fi films and literature dating back to the 1960s and 1970s where the space race was in full swing, the psychic elements of the so called special child came from Gundam, most sci-fi post Akira will either copy Gundam or Evangelion.

"Power levels are stupid"
One Piece's system is based more on clout than out right power which explains why Buggy is a pirate emperor.
Dragonballz lost it's effectiveness once the characters were actively hiding their power levels.
Any other form of ranking works just as well but ultimately end up the same way, yeah they are really stupid.

"Sailor Moon is OP and a bit of a Mary Sue"
Yes and no, the fact that she always wins and quite often bumbles her way through battles and still succeeds can be seen as a bit of a Mary Sue trait but it's earned through going through the emotional trials and tribulations that present themselves within magical girl shows, you want to see her succeed.
