Toaru Kagaku no Railgun is a series that means quite a lot to me, its a story that blends slice of life, action, a unique power system and an emotional narrative perfectly. Railgun is a spin off to the parent series Toaru Majutsu no Index that tells the story of Misaka Mikoto and her group of friends in academy city. This spin off in particular focuses on the science side of academy city unlike index which focuses on the magic side, Misaka being the focal point of the series and fan favorite among many is one of the biggest highlights of the show. We see ... Misaka slowly understand more about academy city's innerworkings while also learning more about herself. Her friend group consisting of Kuroko, Saten and Uihara all play major roles in the story of railgun while fleshing out the cast and elevating Misaka's character development to new heights.

Railgun is primarily a mix of slice of life, sci-fi and action, the slice of life blends well with the main plot as it heavily develops Misaka and the supporting cast so that when the plot really kicks in it truly feels rewarding. The soundtrack, openings and endings are all amazing ranging from Iuchi Maikos work on the primary ost to fripSide's work on the openings to ELISA's work on the endings such as one of my new favorite endings "Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai e-". Touma (the main character of Index) also makes appearances in railgun season 1 and its always a highlight to see his interactions with Misaka. Toaru has one of my favorite settings and Railgun is one of the major contributors to my appreciation for this series. I highly recommend railgun if you believe you would enjoy a slice of life, sci-fi story, its truly one of a kind.

Biri-Biri is best girl

Plastic Neesan has a run time total of twenty seven minutes and nineteen seconds, within that run time it accomplishes being incredibly funny while truly encompassing the Moe early 2010s gag atmosphere. You don't see this kind of comedy in most anime nowadays, one of the big positives for it having such a short run time is there is zero filler which allows the gags to get straight to the point without wasting any time. For a older ONA I highly recommend it and there's not much of a time commitment to get some great laughs out of it, shorts 7 and 8 are my ... favorites.

Non Non Biyori is the first Iyashikei anime that I've watched and after completing the first season I've fallen in love with Non Non Biyori and the Iyashikei genre, there is an lasting calm to these kinds of shows and the cast is incredibly fun to watch as you see them go about their days. The music is very chill while the art has many stunning backdrops that really immerse you into the setting, also I absolutely love the opening and ending theme songs. If you are interested in an anime about a group of friends daily lives in the country side then I highly ... recommend Non Non Biyori :)

Arisa☆Good Luck isn't anything groundbreaking but it still is pretty good at what it sets out to accomplish, which is having a good time. The story is very simple and I wont disclose much of it since it only 28 minutes, but it's a fun ride following Arisa and her Mahou Shoujo adventures/misfortunes. The soundtrack is pretty enjoyable and the side characters are a lot of fun as well, The plot and setting are semi unique while being still true to the genres core foundations so if your looking for a older Mahou Shoujo ova from the 90's and wanna have a quick and enjoyable ... watch, then id recommend Arisa☆Good Luck.
