Taboo Tattoo (2016) User Reviews

Very bad effects and boring fast paced storyline...

[Irishchatter · 2/10 · 17 June 2019]

The reports on this anime were unfortunately true, it is just so disappointing because it had such a great English Dub cast and animation. However it had very slow CGI effects involved in this anime in which they were just rather gullible and slow. As well with having a fast paced storyline, it was rather too quick to understand what was going on and theyd be bringing out new characters so suddenly in which you be like "eh?" lol.

I honestly didn't care about the bad rating or others opinions, I just wanted to see for myself regardless. Since this anime was made by JC staff who destroyed the 2nd season of One Punch Man, they have absolutely made this too into a poop hole!

GREAT graphics, Okay storyline

Ok let's get one thing straight: This was NOT a terrible anime. I'm giving it a 7/10 for the following reasons:

1. Graphics are AWESOME --comparable to Unlimited Blade Works. 2. Story was interesting enough to keep me hooked past the first episode. 3. Protagonist isn't the typical "why is this happening to me, I don't want any part of this." After a little explanation, he was able to acknowledge that he had become a part of a bigger world, and he knew that whining about it won't do anything.

Honestly, number 3 would have been the deal-breaker. I'm so sick and tired of male anime protagonists constantly whining about the situation they were in, and would constantly act over-dramatic like they were void of any common sense and reason.

The first reviewer said that the story was too fast-paced. Well, the season had 12 episodes. In my opinion, it was great that they started out guns blazing, instead of taking up the first 4 episodes and filling it up with flashbacks and unnecessary character development.

Overall, this is a fun anime to watch. It may not be legendary tier, but it certainly is better than most action anime out there.

Don't watch this its not worth your time.

This is not a good series. It is plastic and shallow. It hard to describe why this series fail but I'll give it a shot. The overall story is okay, it has potential. However the lessons and philosophy the series put forth are shallow and when one think of the people spouting them they seem off point to a large degree. Visually the character designs are okay yet you've somehow seen them all before, this is just the scuffed versions of them. The origin of each character is very bland and the writers even make fun of this themselves. It also seems to me that their personalities are not constant, as if their personalities are whatever the writers decide that day to make it work in the current episode. Also there is a lot of petty portrayals of America and its people for some reason. I guess the writers are still salty because of a certain event many years ago. Of course you should be free to spout your opinions but don't expect to make a great anime when you do and its strange the people that invested money in this series are treated as your mouthpiece. It's selfish really. You are alienating a large portion of your audience. I'm not American but even I felt awkward watching all these petty scenes. Also, the animation seem lazy at many times. I just finished the last episode and there are many animations that are just repeated with a floating camera view. You can see the animators was really pushing a deadline.

I do not recommend you watch this, its a waste of time.

Not as bad as the ratings

This anime is quite good not best but good. It has it's moments. Don't give crap about the reviews.watch it if you no legendary shows to watch like attack on titan. I liked it though.

Tapoo-Tattoo.

Garbage from beginning to end. Has a lame supernatural powers gimmick, an annoying mc with a hero-complex, a perverted villain who was semi-entertaining at first (but then turns into a "humans bad" matrix-level philosophical villain), and some dweeby chunibyo mentor figure they desperately want you to believe is cool. A waste of time.

Eng Dub ruined by Monica Rial's one tone VA voice

Eng Dub ruined by Monica Rial's one tone VA voice

With Funimation being almost the only VA ENG Studio in USA having to hear 90% of dubbed anime is like only having to watch Peewee Herman movies all day long.

Hopefully, though this was subbed a while back they stop using her in every single anime since her voice like Peewee's is so grating.

Very good, I was pleased with the diversity, the characters, their behavior, and the backstory of some. Sometimes I thought where, why so much, especially when it comes to animation in battles, and the battles themselves, from the second half of the series, are almost impossible to break away. I also liked the plot, and its may, so bold reference to the second season 2 move (at the end of episode 12 the last minute), that I was just ready to plunge into the next adventures and confrontations. But alas, they haven't filmed it yet (In general, in my opinion, they should have put it all in episode 24. The original (manga) must be very cool (there is still a lot of material for film adaptation!) But then again, for some reason, the community didn't like it !? How is it, you ask me, and I will answer you, xs! It has everything, drawing, plot (politics (fictitious, but damn it, we understand who is who), hurricane action, at the end a bit of evangelion), the characters are an absolute variety , not like in typical Buryat cartoons, only Buryats, but Americans, Arabs or Persians, Muslims in general, and Africans of course), loli, busty beauties, fan service in general (very even came to me, not enough) gays, lesbians, and it's not just so inserted, as in modern culture, and they are in the plot.

----SPOILERS In about 10-11 episodes, events jump a year ahead, before the final battle, and the hero matured not only physically, but also mentally, prepared, for everything that was, he was ready to take revenge, so to speak, the villains are straight, you seem to understand, but not really, and in episodes 7-8, such "you are the key, but you don't need to know more" are not one of those villains who talk for a long time, they are used to acting (to hurt and kill) ----SPOILERS Well, in the end, to diversity, cruelty, rofls, and a little adult scream, as I said, EVERYTHING is absolutely, for everyone, and they still didn't like it, I don't understand you! (reviewed 2 times, the first time there were still incomprehensible and unexpected moments) I personally think the people who created the characters did a good job when this character was liked (and at the same time it can cause disgust), remembered (and so you can say oh the characters of this anime) I advise you to watch, 12 episodes, 1 time, definitely worth it!
