This show feels like someone who never watched anime made their own anime based off of the stereotypes surrounding anime. It’s Bland, cringe, uninspiring, stiff and a slow boring try hard effort of a show. If anyone claims it’s good from an “anime perspective”, they are probably the type of person that shoves whatever anime content that comes out of Japan down their gob and asks for more. There’s good and bad writers everywhere in the world and there’s people who can’t tell the difference between quality entertainment and pretty colors, flashy scenes and bold character designs. *That being said, I personally found that The Ninth Jedi, by far, best represented what star wars could be as an anime. It was exciting from start to finish! 5 stars for The Ninth Jedi* I’ve said in the past that star wars would make a better anime than live action show, but now I see that’s only if it’s written by actual established anime writers. The fights were boring, which was especially disappointing, and even though they were short stories they were not stirring at all, that’s where I had hoped Japanese story writing styles really had a chance to elevate the Star Wars franchise along side Mando and Rogue One. *If you’re new to anime please don’t let this set your standards for anime, this is not the witty, deep and intrinsic story writing that is usually associated with anime. This was uncomfortably doused with stereotypical Japanese culture like samurai influences (a shallow effort I feel to appeal to action junkies) and while I feel this would have made for a few cool characters and lightsaber designs, heck even cool ships and droids, as a theme I feel it grossly misrepresented Japanese story writing in a very ignorant way. Again This does not represent my view of The Ninth Jedi episode. That one felt like an actual series and It left me wanting to see more!*

So many F-Bombs for no good reason. It’s very distracting from the intention of the movie. I mean an unreasonable amount of F word usage. And they weren’t even timed in a normal way so they were just in comfortable to watch. This movie could be so much better without the language.
