Considering children of my generation weren't having political propaganda constantly blasted in their face to fully condition them like today where sex and sexuality education are becoming mandatory for children in many parts of the west, or media for children and families actually bothering to respect both the audience's intelligence and its own integrity, definitely so.

The lyrics are a good exploration as to man trying to find meaning in life and the inability for people to understand each other, the instrumentals are great throughout, but the huge length ( :manabu ) of this song works against it. In particular, the change in tone around 12m - 18m is so stark that it may as well have just been a different track altogether or used for a different song. It also doesn't help that the intro is far too slow, with the song only really coming into gear after the first 2 minutes.

Not yet. I'm in no rush to see it as it's apparent it's as bad as the leaks suggested. I'll see it whenever my cousin and his dad are available to see it as they're both wanting to find out how absolutely awful it'll be, so I'll likely see it between the 21st and 23rd.

I'd rather pirate it than offer money to the Mouse, but doing so in the UK isn't an easy task anymore.

What is your favourite anime/manga that may not be objectively good?

Hard to say, depending on where we treat the cutoff point. For series that are OK/fine but not at the level where they can be viewed as good, probably Zeta Gundam as some of its plot lines and character motivations can be pretty flimsy, but the general premise and most pivotal story beats are fantastic. This is what the Star Wars sequel trilogy should've been, rather than the fan fiction woke shitshow we got.
For anime/manga that I like but are average/mediocre, probably Kinnikuman. It has a lot of messy plot devices such as power of friendship and several retcons as well as some parts that are needlessly devoid of logic, but I can't help but appreciate the characterisation, creative designs and the manly aspect of it that are missing from modern Shonen that attempt the same thing.
Moving on to series that are outright bad, I'll take the cheap route and say any dubbed Hentai as the dialogue is always comedic gold, particularly this one:

I could say Ghost Stories due to its dub or Inferno Cop, but the former was made specifically to make a bad series entertaining and the latter was intended as being as low quality as possible for the comedic factor, so it's a bit unfair to include them.

That's without factoring in certain additions to select anime/manga. My choice for any of those categories could change depending on if I lump the post-timeskip material into Hokuto no Ken or post-Z material into Dragon Ball. The former is pretty arguable how good it'd be if including Part 2 depending on how damaging you consider it to the overall quality of the series, whilst the latter is definitely pushed into the bad category when factoring in GT and (especially) Super ruining what was good about it.

Take your time. Not really worth the ticket…

Lemme now when you watch it so we can trash it together. Might as well revive that old “Rate every SW movie”, but Solo would get in the way :et

Do you consider yourself also capable of writting good dialogue? Or do you think you fall under the George Lucas curse of planning good plots but being unable to effectively bring them to life?

I'd say it varies, depending on character chemistry and personality. If there's a lot to work with, then the dialogue can be interesting and entertaining, though those with more minor characters can occasionally be dry.

It does a great job in highlighting all the core traits of Nami's character - the initial part used during the eyecatch segments doing well at presenting her femme fatale nature, the next part having a tone representing her capricious side and the piano rendition showing the more dramatic and tragic elements behind her facade that came to light in Arlong Park.

Shame that OP has been unable to deliver drama on the level of Nami's character arc in Arlong Park for years, or write Nami with as many layers as she had back then.

If Han died in Tatooine in RotJ, how much do you think the movie could’ve improved? On one hand it does validate the first act and brings Han’s arc to a closure (Specially if he sacrifices himself), but on the other hand it does feel like a cheap send off to the Han/Luke/Leia love triangle.
