  • "It's a good story, but I don't see it in the first historical place for any particular reason."
  • "As expected from Sousou no Frieren, I'm certainly not surprised."
  • "That ranking is totally wrong when we see Gintama in fourth position."
  • "This ranking is so crazy that it makes me laugh. So it's better than Fullmetal Alchemist and Shingeki no Kyojin?"
  • "I thought foreigners only knew Naruto and Shingeki no Kyojin, what a surprise."
  • "I'm sure if they make a movie there will be a great reception in theaters."
  • "I haven't watched the show because I find the story boring. I can't help it, but I hope to change my mind one day."
  • "Sousou no Frieren has the same director as Bocchi the Rock!, but the guy doesn't mention it much. Maybe that's the difference between the arrogance that the director of Chainsaw Man displayed?"
  • "It's very interesting, so much so that I'm seeing it for the third time."
