Nana (Anime) add
Spoiler
While Nana is a show about relationships, love, and growing up, it is also tied up with jealousy, mental illness, deep bonds, and trauma.

This will have spoilers.

Nana Komatsu and Nana Osaki are two polar opposite characters. Nana Komatsu (Hachi) seeks romance wherever she goes while Nana Osaki has been loyal to one man for years. Hachi's men end up far from her grasp, while Nana can't bring herself to part with hers. Nana feels she cannot rely on others to gain success, while Hachi wishes to become happy by any means possible. These two characters form a quick bond after becoming roommates. This bond becomes ...

Dengeki Daisy (Manga) add
Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (26/80 chp)
Based on the reviews here, I truly thought I was walking into a one of a kind experience. I don't think we are reading the same manga.
Because in Dengeki Daisy, sure the main characters are slightly compelling. Maybe they have some nuances to them. But realistically, I feel no natural chemistry between the two protags. The story feels like it could have been solved 10 chapters ago. The side characters are forgettable. There is genuinely no reason for this story to drag for 80 CHAPTERS.

There are a few key things in Dengeki Daisy that bother me. I won't pretend that they will bother everyone.
1) The ...

Kamisama Hajimemashita (or Kamisama Kiss) is an anime that I believe was truly a product of it's time. Released in 2012, the show advertises as a romantic comedy with a supernatural twist. There is just something missing. This review will contain biggy spoilers.

The entire length of the show, something feels empty. It's hard to put a finger on it. We can go through some of the most important aspects though.
It should be noted the opening and ending songs and artwork are a hard skip for most. They are very unrelated to the show's vibe - but I think that is where the first flag is ...

In the midst of shows like Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, and more crazy good animated shows, Romantic Killer proves that you don't need an insane animation budget to make a good anime. If you go into watching Romantic Killer expecting a simple wholesome romance, you are sure to get much more. Anzu is a freshman in highschool who has no interest in romance. She goes home from school as fast as possible to play videogames. Until one day, the wizard Riri appears!
I think if you are a long-time watcher of romance, specifically reverse harem, you will enjoy this show slightly more than the rest. ...

First, I've just gotta say this is a really solid season 2. I'm gonna try hard to not spoil anything and keep this simple, but I'll point out the biggest things that stood out to me.

Going in order analyzing the sections of story, art, sound, character, and enjoyment, I'll start with story. Season two of Fruits Basket really has a great way of managing the story in a way that doesn't get confusing, but also without treating the viewer like a child. There are a bunch of different characters with separate goals and ideals, but none of that really gets buried or lost. Tohru has ...

Made in Abyss

I am sure you are aware it is a pretty dark show hidden behind a lighthearted facade. It is decently done and the characters are likeable? enough?

But I'm writing this review to point out how uncomfortably blatant the writer is with his pedophilia fetishes. Yes. That is what I wrote. I just finished this show moments ago and it just baffles me how this show was rated so high with the amount of disgusting fetishes animated here with no backlash.

let's see:
- pee fetish, check. I get it they are children but please stop making them urinate at any given moment.
- obsession ...

I don't write reviews often. In fact, when it comes to choosing which shows to watch, I never really listen to them, because different people have different opinions. But just hear me out when I say that this anime is something special.

I'm assuming that whoever is reading this hasn't seen the show yet, so I'll do my best to leave out spoilers.

The story is strange in that it starts out as a very independent, feel good show. Two kids meet and find friendship through music, yadayadayada... However, as it progresses, things start to morph into romance and drama, which may leave you with tears. ...

Btooom! (Anime) add
BTOOOM!, a name you may have heard before, and might have remembered because of how strange of a name it really is. BTOOOM! is an exciting show, to say the least. However, like every other show of it's kind, there will be flaws. These flaws may be based on preference, however most are logical flaws that I will soon point out. Let it also be known that there will be praise involved as well. And so It begins.

Story - 7

BTOOOM! caters to the audience that you would expect most anime watchers to be- nerd like kids to adults who spend most of their day ...

Shiki (Anime) add
I've never written a review before, but I just finished this anime and figured I would do this while it's still fresh in my mind. Do I really have to sum up the story? There's an "outbreak" in a small town that's killing people left and right. Then people start to claim they see the dead people walking. Spooky stuff, I know.

Yes, Shiki is a vampire anime, which actually isn't very apparent at first glance. Something I thought was good was that vampires were considered completely out of the question as a blaming point for the 'disease' that was circulating. However, after over half the ...
