Although I enjoyed it, I didn’t think it was as good as the first season. I hate the way it starts out with this dramatic cliffhanger action scene that you won’t hear anything about until the latter half of the season. I found it annoying. It’s as if the writer is unsure of whether they can keep your interest so they use this ploy in the hopes that it will insure your viewership. Another thing I didn’t like about this opening is that I think it’s misleading because action isn’t the focus of the show. In fact after this the show goes back to ...

+Beautiful, heart-wrenching story with excellent character work
+Contains several poignant messages about the human condituon
+Highest production values ever seen in an anime: gorgeous animation, sound, and themes
-Lack of action beats may not suit everyone’s taste
-Doesn’t leave viewer with “feel good” emotions

Sousou no Frieren is not a feel good story. By the end of the last episode you will feel hallow, defeated, and on the brink of tears. Frieren, our titular MC, spends most of her days wandering the world aimlessly, greeting new faces with a stoic expression. She is so old, wise, and powerful that there’s practically no conflict. There are lots of monologues ...

If you liked the TV shows, and if you liked the characters, well they are all here, almost all of them. The movie feels like a paint by number box checking exercise. Everyone gets to do their "thing" and gets their big screen screen times. But the plot is thin and in normal Anime OVA fashion, nothing is at stake. Sure there are big action, great sakuga moments to show the budget of a movie. But it just doesn't feel like a proper film.

Kakegurui is a high school comedy anime disguised as a gambling anime. Filled with eccentric and psychotic characters, one notable aspect is how the show sexualizes its characters, depicting them experiencing intense pleasure akin to orgasms during gambling moments. Even the show's outro doesn't shy away from this boldness, featuring closeups of the main character's ass and boobs, which seem to be for comedic effect. In essence, Kakegurui is more akin to Prison School's unrealistic premise than a gambling anime with high stakes.

However, Kakegurui is nowhere near as funny as Prison School, and worse yet, its gambling aspects have zero stakes. The characters, predominantly children ...

tl;dr: A comedy anime purely about high school boys messing around.

This is a series of comedic shorts primarily about a group of boys attending an all boys high school. It's very heavily comedy focused without anything else to it at all. There's no plot at all, not even minor plot threads. There's no character or relationship development, though there is a character who clearly has a crush that shows up from time to time. There's no overarching themes or morals or anything like that. It's purely just a series of gags.

The gags are pretty interesting too in that they're basically just high school boys screwing ... around in an exaggerated fashion. High school comedy certainly isn't rare when it comes to anime, but this was pretty unique. I wouldn't exactly say it's more realistic but it has more of a real world vibe to it. It feels less like a story but more so just a series of clips of a bunch of dumbasses when they're being especially dumb as teenage boys can be. There are clear cultural differences between where I went to high school and Japan, but it seems there's also quite a bit that's similar because it still had the feel of when I was a teen and just goofing around as far as I remember it. So it's kind of relatable.

The reason this tomfoolery manages to remain funny is due to the variety to the cast. There's no one all that interesting or likable, but there are a lot of characters so in combination it just works. There are some interesting elements to how handles characters that stood out. For example, the 'protagonist' isn't really the protagonist at all and eventually the anime breaks the fourth wall to make fun of how he doesn't appear much at all. Also, there seems to be a rule that none of the main character's sisters are allowed to have eyes. How it handles girls in general is also pretty interesting. Far from the moe that has become the standard, the way girls are generally portrayed here is in a way that is more in line with the perspective of boys that have no experience with them who find them impossible to understand and somewhat terrifying.

As is often the case with humor, your milage may vary. How funny I found it varied quite a lot, sometimes I found it hilarious, sometimes I found it somewhat funny, and sometimes it wasn't funny at all. I think how much you like the first episode will be a pretty good gauge of how much you'll like the series overall, as it doesn't seem to change much. Things get a bit more interesting due to the increase of characters, but at the same time the jokes start getting somewhat repetitive so it balances out.

The art, animation, and designs, are incredibly dull but I suppose they fit what the anime is going for. The OP and ED are pretty solid in terms of the song and visuals and fit the anime well. The soundtrack also worked well enough but there's nothing particularly worth mentioning about it beyond that. The specials are just more shorts not really different at all from the main series.

Starts with an interesting concept—an immortal mage, Frieren, joins a hero's party to defeat the Demon King. However, the execution falls flat, resulting in a lackluster anime that struggles to captivate its audience. The pacing is uneven, and character development feels rushed and underdeveloped. While the idea of exploring an immortal's perspective is intriguing, the series fails to delve into its potential emotional depth. Animation quality is mediocre, with stiff character movements and uninspiring backgrounds. Action sequences lack excitement and fail to convey a sense of urgency. Dialogue is cliche and melodramatic, lacking in genuine emotion. Voice acting is passable but fails to bring the ...

A journey through Madhouse chapter 1.

Before starting I want to make it clear that I don't know why I'm doing this, but the idea is to visit each and every one of MadHouse's works throughout its history. This is because it is my favorite studio and I am crazy enough to see it all.

Second point to highlight, since this work is not so accessible, I ended up watching it without subtitles, which is why this review is based on my mere interpretation, since I do not have any understanding of the dialogues.

Regarding the anime, it's nice to know that the beginning of this journey is ... a spokon. The idea of seeing a spokon made it easier to start this journey, and everything was easy until it started. The plot focuses on a boy who is a baseball player on his high school team, he is a good hitter but as a pitcher he lacks complete control. He is recruited by a professional team and the story develops from that point.

It has several positive points, starting with the mention of concepts that are still valid in current baseball spokon. Concepts such as the three-dimensional strike zone were already used at this time, which shows that the work has a great understanding of the sport. Another point is that the characters, both the protagonist and the rivals, used their daily life experiences to improve their pitches or their swings when hitting. An example of this would be the protagonist using his experience as a fisherman to invent pitches with different heights simulating that he is standing on the same waves of the sea.

The negative is that although he has a good understanding of the sport, he does not show complete games or let the other members of the team show off. Everything is focused on the protagonist and the matches are reduced to a mere inning so that the protagonist can show off. The work has a big loop that makes its protagonist look a little tantrum. This loop consists of the protagonist developing a new pitch, the batter cannot hit the ball, at the end of the game the rival batter goes and trains in a barbaric way and in the next game he manages to hit the protagonist's magic ball, which generates He becomes depressed and retires (in the middle of the game) to try to invent a new pitch since the last one is of no use to him because it was already hit. Instead of increasing his repertoire of pitches, he tried to be a One Trick Pony with a difficult pitch to hit.

This refers to the sports issue, because history also has its flaws. You don't need subtitles to understand that the actions of this anime bordered on criminality. It is incredible how many ways they could find to seriously injure a minor in an official match. It is noted that in the 70's they did not know the concept of "Security".

In conclusion, although we are looking at one of those historical animes, since it was one of the firsts spokon anime in history, it is not worth visiting. Finding it with subtitles in the Roman alphabet is already a challenge, and seeing it without subtitles is crazy. Please love yourselves and don't be like me.

Firstly, let's talk about the characters. Kubo Tite seemed to have run out of ideas, recycling tired tropes and personalities that we've seen countless times before. Ichigo, once a promising protagonist, devolves into a one-dimensional cardboard cutout of himself, lacking any depth or development. And don't even get me started on the supporting cast – they're either sidelined into irrelevance or turned into mere plot devices to move the nonsensical story along.

Speaking of the story, it's a convoluted mess that makes absolutely no sense. Plot holes big enough to drive a truck through litter every chapter, and attempts to explain the logic behind the events ...

Like a campfire, a familiar jersey, or a comfort food, Sousou no Frieren serves to infuse the viewer with 'positive vibes'. Although ostensibly a high-fantasy adventure tale, the show is better described as a slice of life. The somewhat unsettling theme of human transience is still at the forefront of the show. However, most episodes consist of fairly innocuous and inconsequential interactions. All in all, this seems to be another addition to the 'wholesome cute girls doing things wholesomely and cutely' anime subgenre with notably high production value.
The weakpoint of Sousou no Frieren is that it offers little beyond 'positive vibes'. The main theme of ...

I honestly don't understand the hype around this anime. I was a lot more forgiving with part 1 thinking part 2 and season 2 will expand the story properly. Part 1 did its job introducing the main story and the important characters, and honestly it focused on the main story more than I anticipated.

Part 2 on the other hand, we barely get anything in these 13 episodes. Somehow after setting up the scene in part 1, warming us up for the story to move forward and getting to know the characters even more, we get boring episodes that barely move things forward.

The animation of Kengan Ashura has something peculiar about it. The creators opted to switch between 2D animation and CG during fight scenes.

Nevertheless, the CG animation during fight scenes made them appear more realistic, and for the crazy moves they wanted to showcase, it was the best option.

"Waku, Waku - Anya wants peanuts" - new adventures with the fluffy Anya finally on the big screen. Original-Content-Movies are often a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you want to tell an exciting story, but at the same time you can't interfere with the events of the manga or bring anything that has a lasting impact on the main story. Experience has shown that such films are often incredibly dull or no longer feel like the series at all. But not with the Spy x Family film. If you like the series, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the movie.

The film is completely ... detached, so you don't need to have seen the entire 2 seasons. It helps if you've seen the characters before (especially to understand some of the running gags), but theoretically someone who's never seen the series before could also enjoy the movie.

The story seems just as contrived as the main plot of the series. Loid is in danger of being withdrawn early from Operation Strix due to a lack of results. To prevent this, he wants to ensure that Anya achieves a Stellar in her school cooking class - by preparing her teacher's favorite dish. To get the ingredients and familiarize Anya with the dish, the family travesl to northern Frigis. But what sounds like a relaxed family trip quickly escalates into a chase with two members of Ostania's Military Intelligence, who work for the unscrupulous Colonel Snidel, who wants to destroy the East-West peace with his war plans.

Basically the whole thing is slapstick. As in the series, Anya repeatedly finds herself, partly through her gift and partly by chance, in absurd situations, chases and fights, from which Loid and Yor, mostly unconsciously, free her. But while the series, with the exception of the Cruise-Adventure-Arc, mostly has very short missions, here you have the time to experience a longer, epic story. It was nice that there were a lot of scenes with the three of them together - because while in the series it's often done so that the three don't get in each other's way in the action scenes for the purpose of camouflage, here we see Loid , Yor and Anya act together most of the time - and it works extremely well.

Differents aspects of Spy x Family were covered here. There were funny scenes, some thoughtful, romantic, action-packed moments and of course a lot of the fuzzy Anya - who sometimes puts out one meme-like one-liner after the next. The only thing I found a bit weird was the strong fecal humor in between - something that was hardly common in the series. But luckily this only lasted a few minutes.

Almost every character from the main series makes an appearance. Some contribute to the plot, some are just in the film so you can see them briefly, but it's still nice that everyone can see their favorite character.
For the most part, the animation is no different than in the series - not so the epic action scenes. A great job has been done here. If you have the opportunity to go to the cinema, watch it on the big screen. It's simply an experience.

The songs by Official Hige Dandism and Gen Hoshino, listed here on MAL, are great. Sadly they can only be heard in the end credits - they deserve to be integrated into the film (e.g. as part of the opening scene or as interlude music). Voice acting is on point too. Especially in the german version you'll get, as in the series, some popculture allusions, that were not in the original.

It was clear that nothing earth-shattering would happen here, but for the 110 minutes Code White knows how to entertain. If you like the series, you will definitely like the movie too. However, if you belong to the faction that is already annoyed by the repetitive storylines and lack of story development in the main series, you're probably better off investing the money in a few packs of peanuts.

Of course, the cinema experience also plays a part here. It was just a great feeling to be cheering and laughing along with the big crowd. If I had seen the film alone on my laptop I probably might have rate it 1 - 2 points less, but nevertheless "Spy x Family" is extremely good for an Original-Movie.

Two sides of a coin.

This is what this show is, a really drama filled roller coaster, that really play into both sides. Which really explains the message within this show. Someone can have perfect in everything, but still have their own faults, and worries. While one who could be seen as plain, or cold, could have larger aspirations, then one may not realize. Something that'll drive this show forward, and keep it engaging from start to finish.

Story and characters: 7
Opposites attract.

Really, that's the common basis for the story. Even within the first episode, there was a foreshadowing line thrown in there, which perfectly captured it. ...

Okay so here my thoughts on the anime in general. When I was recommended this anime I was intrigued by name Tanya of Evil, I thought we would get someone with a lot of blood-lust and someone who would do anything to achieve her status of power, I knew it was an isekai and I was willing to put up with the whole "loli" aspect of the character if it had a compelling narrative, but it seems that the title itself is not really accurate, it is only a localization blunder, and her character is actually more strategical than plain evil. The crazy bits of ... her character seem to be exaggerated either by the anime or the story itself put it is clear is just smoke and mirrors to make the protagonist more "fun" than what she actually is. Overall, this is what I have seen:

- The character is put in a situation where they lack the social advantages to advance, this would have been interesting to see, but they were given enough magical power to make them competent.
- There is no clear reason as to why Tanya has to fight so early in her childhood, she just says that its her only choice, but no sense of urgency is given to let the army join her so soon.
- Considering that the character went through a full reincarnation, it would be fair to say that her brain is starting to develop again, nevertheless this doesn't show and Tanya is given a logical, reason focused thinking when it comes to battle and strategic planning. She is shown having some breakdowns, but it is never a plot that is followed up, another aspect of the issues her new body would give her that is not followed upon.
- Her strength and stamina seem to be the same as an adult's, sure, they use magic and guns most of the time, but she is seen kicking, pushing and even hurting people with no physical problems, another issues of her body that is not followed upon.
- Never she is seen to be not taken seriously because of her age or gender, aside two or three mentions of concern of sending a child to a war. Not followed upon.
- While the story focuses in the battle and war tactics, reading the commentaries of episodes before it seems that the strategical thinking is heavily reduced in the anime. More than that, having only one side with an ace up their sleeve comes as rather boring since there is no competent adversary for the enemy to fight. I have been watching other war focused anime like Legend of the Galatic Heroes, where we see the fighting from two sides, which makes the strategical thinking of war a lot more interesting with the two sides trying to outsmart each other.
- Most of the battle and war focused thinking seems to be focused in repeat or reenact previous world war battles verbatim. The people who are into these historical subjects might enjoy the references and see the events re-enacted over with the new characters, but little is given for the people who are not in the subject at all.
- While I have enjoyed explaining the reincarnation side as a result of making God angry, his role seems to be rather to active in the story, appearing several times in the anime, which I find rather conflicting since it feels he might be interfering too much in the protagonist's world.
- The magic system is not interesting, it is only a way for the writers to make the battles go whatever they want without little effort.
- While making the protagonist an atheist is interesting, I feel that the duality of believing in God or praying to God as an almighty being could be clarified further or explored more with its implications since this is the basis for the story overall. The protagonists knows there is a being that can mess up her life, a being that can reincarnate her and make her suffer, so it seems unwise to make him angry, this could have worked if Being X didn't appear so frequently in the story since it could have put doubt in Tanya's mind about his existence and the memories she has.
- None of the characters aside from Tanya and Erich are actually interesting.

So overall we have, no blood lust protagonist, no actually interesting strategical battles, no rise from the bottom of the social chain protagonist, no social hurdles, no physical hurdles, no psychological hurdles, nothing really to latch ourselves upon. Yes, I have seen some interesting stuff, like how Erich seems to think and react towards Tanya, or how she is starting to get angry at the chain of command and God herself, which could lay upon a path for a slightly more interesting narrative when we stop reenacting real life events (those episodes were really boring) and the anger of the protagonist comes more into light. The only thing we have is a slightly fun character that over react at times but not even nearly enough, not really. So my final verdict is: this anime is just your below average isekai trash, sorry, it is a 5/10 from me. Next!

One of the most unique isekai I've ever seen. It's not just an mc power change, or a wack world building change, but a completely different take on how to approach fantasy isekai story. The MC isn't OP in any combat abilities in any unique ways, but instead have the ability to see people weakness and strength then need to learn to forge good relations or bad one with them, is such a fun premise. It will more focus on mind games, psychology, and politics, more than fighting.

Recommend for: Mind games, Politics, Character, Directing

Full review:
THE Potential CONS:
Lets get the cons out of the way first. ... First of all, it's production quality is pretty average for an isekai standard. Not that bad that it make you question in the middle of the show, so good enough to support the show [7/10]. So if you enjoy flashy scenes, or epic OST, this might not be for you. There's no prominent story line, other than to grow stronger right now, and is a pretty shenanigans story[6/10], so depends on you if you like that or not, however, the character IS what making this story shine, which will be talked about on the next section.

THE PROS:
The characters in this anime is VERY good. As you might expect from the gimmick of the story, it's about having the right people, and making the right conversations, so of course you would need good character to pull that off since it's literally the gimmick. So every named characters, have some pretty good writing, with non 1 dimensional writing. Most side character and the small villains right now seem a bit still pretty 1 dimensional, as they serve just from scene to scene. So overall very good [9/10].

Next is the directing. Even with the average production quality as it would go after the budget, the directing still shines through, and make you FEEL for the show, the characters, and the story. It's very reminiscence with Frieren, where the directing focus on the journey, the beautiful music and scenery, the life of the people of the land, and the powerful talking, overall mix in for the maximum feels and is very aw inspiring [10/10]. The pacing is also perfect! Not too boring but also have progressions. [9/10]

Lastly is the psychology. With in just 3 episodes, they prove that they can make good and realistic talks, mind games, and writing. The protagonist doesn't get it easy in this show. Even with his appraisal skills, he still need to talk to them, most characters have their own circumstance, they won't be win over that easy, so he would need to adapt, and learn to understand people for the better. [10/10]

IN CONCLUSION:
This show have very good gimmick, with the characters, the story, and the directing to support that gimmick and story to the fullest. The production quality might be average, but it's good enough with the very good directing that it is very enjoyable.

Recommendation:
If you like journey animes, with characters development, feel good vibes, and portray the nature of human being (the good, the bad, and the reality) very well. This show is SOOOO for you. [If you enjoy Frieren, u might like this too]

Overall score as an Fantasy Adventure Isekai: 9/10
General score as an anime: 7.8/10

can complain about this show season 4 onwards. Season 3 clearly hampered but poor animation. The general consensus it is a masterpiece, incredible, at worst okay. It is pretty much just doing a lot of things right. If the only criticism of the series is it is a harem, calling the fandom names, saying you didn't watch it, ur series is pretty much doing everything right.

For the character designs, they are almost certainly some of the most beautiful, vivid, unique desisn I have seen. All have elaborate dresses, cute designs that tie into their individual quirks and powers.

As for the production of the anime itself, ...

Anyway uh yeah the difference between this, is that the mc in this show ACTUALLY develops as a human being. The gyali that he meets be like "life isn't bad buddy boy" and he's like "ok!".

I like that even he starts to look back at old memories and gets yucked out by how he was precieving everything. ...

Ok so last season was like this: there's a dude in a ghetto living illegally, surviving by boxing. Alright sounds pretty peak already. Later on in the season it mostly just went on to fights and some side character backstory to fill out the episodes. It wasn't bad but it coulda been better, each ep became kind of predictable.

Ah the eminence in shadow, A critical stinker that won't stop being talked about around the anime community. Despite it being a hollow mess, Viewers have somehow diluted themselves into thinking it's some "deconstruction" or "Parody" despite the show playing itself completely seriously. It's some of the worst power fantasy garbage out there. The setting is boring, the premise is boring and the characters are just insufferable. It's a show that will have you rolling your eyes and hitting your right arrow key constantly. Its only redeeming qualities are the opening and the animation. However had it been mediocre I would have just given it ...

Masterpiece. Just happy. Subtle, nuanced, heart-warming. We need more originality and creativity like this nowadays when it's all about sequels, prequels, reboots, remakes, gender/race switching and DEI pandering. The Rings of Power's writers could learn a thing or two from Frieren. THIS, is how you build world, develop characters and write a strong female character. The art could be a little better, but I'm sure after it's success, the second season will have a bigger budget and an epic improvement. Music was great, but I don't remember any particular song as hitting me really deep. I hope we get a couple more seasons, but that ...

They are more or less enslaved and trapped in a weekly battle for entertainment to lose repeatedly.

The perk of being a putty may be immortality, but in this world, it seems only to grant them constant death and loss.

This is (if you ask me) at the same time a very odd bird and a hidden gem that many may have missed. I found a trailer for the series by chance but got a very good feeling and decided to watch it. However, it must be said right from the start: The series has what you could call a fetish for saliva (and the exchange of saliva). If you have a problem with THAT, it can probably be a threshold that makes it difficult to appreciate the series. 😇😅

Little Witch Academia is one of the most underrated anime ever produced, offering a unique take on the Magic School Genre as i seamlessly blends fantasy with science fantasy. The story follows Akko, a first-generation witch from Japan, who enrolls in Luna Nova. Despite her lack of magical prowess, she dreams of becoming a witch like her hero to spread joy in the world. This simple motivation leads to a captivating and original storyline. However, despite its potential for continuation, the anime remains a one-and-done deal due to Trigger's policy with IPs.
