High Guardian Spice

Ok, I liked shows like SPOP, because it integrated LGBTQ ideas and acceptance causally. Moreover, shows such as Owl House had convincing plot lines and fit into their cartoon category. However, in this show they just shove the representation down your throat while yelling at you that this is actually an anime. Don't get me wrong I love seeing more positive LGBT representation, but this is NOT the way to go.

You know that High Guardian Spice is off to a bad start when you realize that the title is dishonest. *None* of the characters are named after spices. Nor do we actually know what they're guarding against. So the only thing that is accurate between the series and the title is "High." Because that's the only thing you'll feel after you finish watching the first (and likely the last) season of Crunchyroll's feverish, incoherent DoA nightmare, High Guardian Spice.

2/10 (it could've been 1/10 if it wasn't for Slime Boy)

The artists are so lazy. Didn't anyone see how they blatantly copied and pasted textures onto light posts and breads? The voice acting sounds like a group of teens recorded themselves on the phone, not to mention, they don't fit the characters very well. And don't get me started with the script. What are they? Tumblrinas?

Like the voice acting is definitely not the best, there is use of water marked stick images and overall there just isn't any plot. Now I could sit here and go into detail for each one of the aforementioned problems but like must problems there are literally thousands of videos on youtube discussing all the problems with the show.

You can tell the people who created this nonsense had no passion put into this whatsoever. The animation is God awful, diluted and awkward. The voice acting is even more awkward. The character designs are bland and uninteresting. The theme song is annoying and sounds like a stereotypical song from a barbie movie. Trying to target a certain audience by putting gay characters in the show. I wouldn't be against that, except for the fact that they're totally doing this to just get more people to watch which is just sad.

I give this a 2. I would rate it lower but I want to give at least one thing. It is bright and colorful. Other than that a complete fail. I don't recommend watching this, it has zero substance.
