I think that Sailor Moon Crystal is better than the original Sailor Moon series. I've been watching the original Sailor Moon series as it's been uploaded on Hulu, so I've only gotten to S thus far, but I don't think it's particularly good. When it's good, it's pretty darn good. The season one finale and most of the episodes focused on the Inner Guardians are some examples of when the series can be good. But when it's bad, it's annoyingly bad. The romance between Usagi and Mamoru is horribly written right from the start. It feels so forced and contrived. The convoluted and horrible break-up subplot from R made me hate their relationship even more as all it really did was make me think that they shouldn't be in a relationship. It was also one reason why that's my least favorite season thus far. Also, Haruka and Michiru come off as jerks in S, especially Haruka, and the pacing for that season has really dragged on.

Crystal feels much more enjoyable for me. Usagi comes off as a better written character. I like Usagi in the original series, but she can be used as comedy relief a bit too often, especially when the other characters get on her case despite how she has proven herself as a capable leader multiple times. The romance between Usagi and Mamoru is a thousand times better than it was in the original series. It really helps that Mamoru isn't a jerk to Usagi and there was some romantic sparks forming between them before they found out about their past lives. The storylines for both arcs were more interesting than they were in the original series, especially the Black Moon arc. Chibi-Usa is far more likable than she come off during most of R as well, although she has been mostly okay in S thus far for me. Crystal basically has the strengths and weaknesses of the manga, although some might argue against the strengths part, and that appeals to me more since I have enjoyed what I've read of the manga.

It certainly isn't perfect though. They barely had a budget during the Dark Kingdom arc and while it was significantly better during the Black Moon arc, there were still noticeable moments where the animation was still an issue. The Inner Guardians don't have as much personality or focus as they did in the original series, which is one of the flaws I thought that manga had as well. Crystal could have fixed that if they weren't so focused on doing one chapter per episode, which can be a problem too. The idea of having the Four Kings and the Inner Guardians be lovers in their past lives also felt extremely tacked on with little reason for me to care compared to Usagi and Mamoru's relationship. In spite of its flaws, I think that Crystal is a better and more enjoyable Sailor Moon than the original one and I do hope that they can get another season to cover the rest of the manga.

I think that Kill La Kill is terrible. I couldn't make it past three episodes before dropping the show. I wanted to like it because I love Gurren Lagann, but it just lacked the same kind of heart with its story and characters that Gurren Lagann had for me. Based on the first three episodes, it had the same kind of insanity Gurren Lagann had taken to extreme levels, but none of the substance or heart to make it worthwhile to watch. Unless you can laugh at the fanservice, not be bothered by it at all or enjoy heavy fanservice shows, I don't think people would be able to enjoy it. The fanservice was the main issue I had with it, especially when the in-universe reason behind it just made it seem more stupid to me, but none of the characters or the storyline were particularly engaging enough for me. They were okay at best, which wasn't enough to make me keep watching a show that bothered me so much, especially the opening to the second episode with the creepy perverted father over the main characters' unconscious body.

I think that Attack on Titan is overrated. I've the whole series and I would say that it's good, which is more than I can for other popular series like Sword Art Online, but I don't think it lives up to its hype. There aren't too many characters that actually have development and only a handful of characters are memorable enough. It has an interesting storyline with a unique premise, but it doesn't have much going for it as far as characters go, which doesn't make it as good as it could be. I'd recommend it, but I do think it's overrated and over hyped.

Sword Art Online is the worst anime I've ever seen. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I'll include it just in case. After seeing the first season, I have absolutely no idea why this terrible show is popular. The flaws are huge and obvious. The pacing is terrible, the characters are boring, the romance is forced and wooden, the writing is absolutely horrible, the emotional moments are so emotionally manipulative, the incest subplot in the second arc was insultingly stupid, the random tentacle guards, the attempted virtual rape and the attempt to make the villain from the first arc look like a better guy compared to the attempted rapist, despite how he was responsible for killing thousands of people and didn't even remember why he became a mass murderer. Even aspects people claim are some of its strengths like the animation and fight scenes aren't that great. They certainly aren't good enough to balance out all of the flaws here. I can usually understand why something becomes so popular, even if I don't like it myself, but I really have no idea why Sword Art Online is as popular and as successful as it is when it is so painfully and insultingly bad.
