This is a school life themed anime. The premise is quite simple, we have a girl named Akane who is always made fun of by her classmates. Due to how often they tease her, she stopped caring and just went with the flow. Then we have a chad Taiyou who uses the same things the classmates say to praise her. This praise, however, gets her flustered as she's used to the bullying but not to praise. This unique interaction causes the other classmates to back off from this chad and his new friend.
The anime is very fun to watch and I recommend it if you
...
want a feel-good anime. And I love how positive and chad-like Taiyou is. But at the same time, the anime is simple so if you want plot, you might not enjoy it much.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

Just a disclaimer that I've read the manga until the end, so there might be some bias.
Junta is a guy who was blessed with Stealth level 100. No one notices him even if he's nearby. He might make a good spy or a thief. Nagisa is a normal girl, but with the extraordinary talent to notice Junta without much effort. The story is about their interaction on their little world where only the two of them are part of. Well, even if they wanted to get other people into their world, rarely will anyone notice Junta. And due to this, it becomes a playground for
...
Nagisa to fool around with Junta without others butting in their cute interactions.
So far, the romance aspect is there but it's not as much. But given how the manga is a slow-burn, it's expected. Although of course, some people might not like that so I'm already letting you know. This is more of a school slice-of-life than romance between two school kids. And there's still a lot of ground to cover in case they go for more seasons. If you're into binge-watching, the ending might be unsatisfying as it's more like a filler. I wasn't satisfied myself, as I mentioned, I read the whole manga and this season felt like nothing much happened. Still, I would recommend you to try it.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

This anime would've been a normal slice-of-life romance between two adults. However, some supernatural element was added into the mix. Shiori is a shooting star princess while Ichiro is a normal human who works as a mangaka and an apartment landlord. Due to some "accident", they get forcefully engaged. This kind of scenario feels like a wish-fulfilment to instantly get the perfect wife/husband for someone. Some might like it, some might not.
After that, the story turns into a normal slice-of-life romance. There were some supernatural stuff here and there, but most of the story just revolves around them and his family doing daily stuff. There
...
are tenants on Ichiro's apartment but I barely saw any of them. That makes it quite weird for me, as some anime I watched involving house-like apartments have the tenants interacting quite often.
Shiori's family entered the scene halfway, but it didn't change the story progress much, if any. Honestly, it would've been fine without the supernatural element. The reason being is that, there's a lot of potential if they expounded on Shiori's family circumstances. However, it felt like that aspect was just added for the sake of forcing the two to get "engaged" at the start. Even if I replaced the family from descendants of a star to a family that are just rich and overprotective of her, the plot might still stay the same.
The anime is good, but it does have its shortcomings. If there's a season 2, I hope they expound more of her background.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

This is a continuation of t he first season so I highly suggest you go watch that first before this one.
The story is about a girl in a bear suit adventuring and enjoying life in a different world. The story is quite chill and slow-paced slice of life. There's also a lot of sisterhood involved as a lot of the main cast are girls. It might be off-putting at times but they're not yuri. There is also some arcs in the story and honestly, if the animation wasn't aimed at younger audience and have less vibrant colours, it'd be a bit serious and dark at
...
times, particularly towards the end. But the anime doesn't dwell on those things and simply pass by them like normal. I recommend this anime for those who are fans of bears, teddy bears, isekai and/or cute girls.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

The anime is about a boy and a girl. The guy is quite mistrusting of people and only interacts with his few friends. The girl is considered an "angel" by their class, one people admire and idolize. So how did their fates get intertwined? They realized they were living close to each other. A chance meeting during a rain sparked an interest that grew.
From this short summary, you can grasp how simple of a concept it is. If you expected something more spectacular or special, then sorry to say that there's nothing special about the premise. The story will look like wish-fulfilment for some people,
...
because it kind of is. Does it make it bad? No, but do not expect too much on it. Their relationship is a very slow burn that spans 12 episodes. If you don't like that kind of romance, you won't enjoy this. Even I kept wondering, "Aren't they already married at this point?" And although the romance in the story is probably the main plot, the friendship was also just as important. It's like two close friends falling in love, and not the kind of couple that only interacted first time just to ask each other out (as you've seen in some anime where their first serious conversation is a rooftop confession). And due to not being the latter, it made me root for them as it felt more genuine than a random rooftop confession from a person they barely know. The interactions of the two were very cute and friendly at the start, then it started bordering into the romance territory. Their hesitation and innocence can be cute or frustrating, depending on your taste.
So given how plain the story is, why did I rate it quite high? It's because I enjoyed it, simple. An anime doesn't need to have a complicated plot to be good. And I hope you enjoy is just as much as I did.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

I've read the manga so there will be a comparison.
When you start a game, you interact with the game right? But what if, you can interact with the characters in the game as you are? This anime is about 2 friends able to communicate with the characters of an otoge. Since they know the story has a bad end for a character, they do their best to avoid that route using their new-found powers to interact and influence the game.
It's not really that fresh of a concept, but it's way more different from the usual plot we get every season. The characters are made similar
...
to the typical characters in vns, especially our titular tsundere girl. The interaction of the characters are very amusing and even if the game is an otoge, with a bunch of handsome guys, I didn't get uncomfortable as a male, watching it. In fact, I found it more of a normal romance anime. If the reverse harem genre puts you off, don't worry, it's not even close.
Now for the meh aspect. The anime speedran a lot of the things in the manga, I can't say much but it's very obvious if you read. There are things that have been removed and then just mentioned that it happened sometime earlier. And there was not much time spent on developing the real-world characters when in the manga, there was some considerable time shown to how Endo and Kobayashi got closer. I guess, the producers wanted to compress the story into one season. The art is ok, but the reason I got baited into the manga was due to how pretty Liselotte was and the guys weren't shabby as well. I was also expecting vibrant colours like in vn cgs, but the anime just gave a pastel tone to it and call it a day.
I recommend this anime, if you like romance and tsunderes. Don't expect that it's a reverse harem.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

I've read the manga and I like it (at its current chapter when I wrote this review). That's the reason I watched the anime. If you came from the same place, you might notice some stuff removed/changed which is typical when adapting to a different media. That might put you off. But other than that, to me, it was a decent adaptation, albeit too fast-forwarded, so to say.
The story is about 2 people "forced" to act as a couple. At the start, they're against it but they gradually learned to love each other. The premise is similar to another anime, but I think this one
...
is lighter. The interactions of the couple are cute, maybe not as cute as the manga, but I find them adorable. You might have complaints on their indecisiveness and lack of confidence at times but it is the point of the story. If you don't want a 12-episode anime of someone being wishy-washy, I think you won't enjoy this. The colours are too bright for my tastes, but at the same time, I think it's to make the anime feel lighter. I mean, the whole thing is about people forced to like someone else than the ones they want, which is kind of a drama if you just change the atmosphere a bit. I like the anime, I like the manga, but I hope it'll continue that way as the bright colours and couples thing remind me of a certain rental lover anime, which is just, heh. I'll just laugh.

This is the 2nd season of Shadows House (in case you came here by accident, or you didn't read the title, to avoid spoilers).
This anime continues on with the mystery of the house that started since S1. The atmosphere is dark but is mixed with the lighthearted tones from Emilico, Kate and their friends. This season however, we get to see more of the gruesome dark side of the house and the shadows. We can see the characters grow as they learn more about the secrets hidden and we see how they try to form bonds with each other. The show had no dull moments
...
for me and I do like the way the characters interacted. It's like they know what they're doing. I have gripes with the number of episodes though. The way they ended felt like it's not a 12-ep anime, but a 24-ep one.
In general, this anime is must-watch if you watched s1. If you haven't, I recommend trying it out then continuing to this if you enjoyed it.

LycoReco is a show about girls with guns, doing gun things. The premise is quite okay. And to be honest, the fights are very fluid and fun to watch. If you're only planning to watch this anime for that, then stop reading further and enjoy.
It would've been good if they just took the cliche route of good vs bad. However, Chisato's personality/beliefs ruined the show for me. Initially, I thought it'll be a serious anime with the main characters making rational and practical decisions. The norm with law enforcement is to capture the criminals alive as much as possible, but not when the person had
...
become dangerous. I haven't seen agents irl, but I expect them to kill when necessary, especially if it's a terrorist who shoots people out in the open and blows buildings. Meanwhile, Chisato likes letting terrorists live. What did these terrorists do after surviving? They make an even worse plan and murders a lot more people.
Then, there is that scene where a random citizen picks up a gun. That's just weird. Do people suddenly just become incapable of thinking after finding a gun? I think they'll either get scared and throw it away, or immediately bring it to authorities. Of course, there are some who will keep it. But in most cases, I don't think someone who picks up a gun will suddenly shoot people.
These things, they really felt awkward. I'm not sure if the show wanted to tell me that killing isn't necessary to reach a goal, or that it just wanted to make Chisato saint-like and cool.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.

This anime has two sides to it: one where Tooru babysits his boss' daughter, Yaeka, and another where he deals with yakuza matters.
For the babysitting side, it is wholesome and really cute. Yaeka's innocence and her desire to bond with her babysitter/s serves as a way to mellow out the yakuza members she mingles with, particularly Tooru. This results in these "tough" looking men becoming softies to Yaeka and her friends, and being at their best behaviour, which is contrary to their "violent" nature.
For the yakuza side, it felt forced into the anime. Yes I know they still remain as yakuza despite
...
being baby sitters, but there's that one guy who is just lurking in the background, trying to act like a villain when it feels like he'll just get defeated easily. That's probably just me, and I find it unnecessary. The "shallow" encounters the yakuza gang has to deal with (like protecting turf) is enough for me.
Still, I recommend it for those who want to watch something cute and refreshing. I do hope it becomes less "serious" with the yakuza aspect in the next seasons. I'd rather watch a crime/suspense/action anime if I wanted those.
Thanks for reading my review and God bless.
