A fun romp about making bishoujo games for the first half. Then it had one of the most ambitious developments I've ever seen with its social commentary about AI. Unlike Remake Our Life, the ending was positive and didn't leave a bitter taste. A fun romp about making bishoujo games for the first half.

The most unique show of 2017. First ten episodes are all by different directors, but that means no consistency. 3 > 2 > 8 > 7 > 5 > 6 > 9 > 1 > 10 > 4. Ep3 war great as a standalone due to its direction. But the last arc was disappointing. The most unique show of 2017.

It's still a cash cow, and with that, it means that it'll be drawn out as much as possible.

Good show about accepting yourself rather than conforming to be normal. The drama in ep9 looked to set up something epic, but the remaining eps lacked focus, and everything was resolved too quickly and cleanly.

Very mild romcom that doesn't use teasing or character flaws for any of the comedy. It's borderline awful with not much progression, but it's cute and charming at times, and doesn't have Uzaki-chan's horrific cat.

PA Works' worst show since Glasslip. Too many chefs in the kitchen. Too many characters, and it was so disjointed that almost nothing worked. Only Anna (saving the record shop) got a satisfying mini-arc. Anima Yell was simpler but superior. PA Works' worst show since Glasslip. Too many chefs in the kitchen.

Better than S1. Best girl was Nene and her progression as a programmer. Rolled my eyes at expanding the cast to 14, but it managed to give decent time for most of them. With a fine mix of SoL and development, it's the pinnacle of what a CGDCT show can do. Better than S1. Best girl was Nene and her progression as a programmer.

Too much time was wasted in the first half to build up the characters, but the show never gave a real reason to care for any of them. What almost saved it was that it tried to be different than the typical superhero show.

Kono Oto Tomare was my 2019 AOTY. This was a more cynical take with a different instrument. I think the novelty of this show having an actual BAD ending is intriguing, but this was nowhere near as good. Kono Oto Tomare was my 2019 AOTY.

Animation quality and voice acting was top-notch. Doga Kobo did the best it could with an aged source, as it predates Lucky Star, but with the SoL genre being so saturated, it's tough to consider the skits as anything other than mediocre.

Unique visuals, cute girl. But for once could we get a boy lead who isn't a total pushover anti-social introvert? He reminded me of Shouya from A Silent Voice. At least the minimal dialogue added to the calming, slice-of-life mood to the show. Unique visuals, cute girl. But for once could we get a boy lead who isn't a total pushover anti-social introvert?

The venenum accumulation reminded me of the mankai powers in Yuki Yuna is a Hero. I wanted it to be as great as YuYuYu. It fell short due to a poor middle, but what an excellent and sad final episode. Fantastic OST. The venenum accumulation reminded me of the mankai powers in Yuki Yuna is a Hero.

The pitch is that these otaku are older, and are already in a committed relationship. But we don't see much development over the show's run, and the humor is sparse and lame. I can't recall any joke where I laughed out loud. It ends uneventfully. The pitch is that these otaku are older, and are already in a committed relationship.

This had nothing to do with the historical Yasuke. He could've been replaced with any other samurai and the story would've played out the same way. A Disney-style ending where Yasuke is seemingly killed then revived by the power of crying. This had nothing to do with the historical Yasuke.

Quality show, but it dragged out like a typical shounen action epic where the main quest is forgotten. I can't in good conscience give it a high score because it was just getting started.

The final episode was wonderful. Stunning. 10/10 material. I got chills hearing the music on my high-end headphone setup. But there were too many uneven moments in earlier episodes. Still, I won't be forgetting this one anytime soon. The final episode was wonderful. Stunning. 10/10 material. I got chills hearing the music on my high-end headphone setup.

SHORT. Absolute trash. Has nothing to do with the main show, and is full of characters from the spinoff light novels, not the anime. Waste of 12 minutes. SHORT. Absolute trash.

S3. Not even a sequel; just a poor rushed mess of trying to adapt 2 light novel spinoffs and attempting to re-tell S2 from other perspectives. I'll always remember S1, before Yuki Yuna turned into a soulless media franchise. S3.

The other skating anime (Ginban Kaleidoscope) didn't have any complete routines. But this showcased skating with stunning accuracy. It kept animation detail to a minimum in order to preserve fluidity in the scenes that mattered most, the routines. The other skating anime (Ginban Kaleidoscope) didn't have any complete routines.

There were a few too many scenes which didn't contribute to the story, and the dialogue was cringeworthy on more than one occasion. However, the surrealistic presentation covered up the show's flaws very well.

Solid lead-in. But the second half of Yuki Yuna S2 had better resolve all the questions behind Vertex and the Hero system. Washio Sumi had the SoL, but there was no real drama like the infighting in S1. Solid lead-in.

First 2 episodes are excellent and pull you into the zombie idol group premise. Rest of the show never quite matches the initial energy and intensity, as the group settles into standard idol-style songs.

The entertainment industry hasn't been this sharply critiqued by any other show. But the main hook stepped aside for side stories and secondary character development. This ended without any of the bombastic hype of the movie-length ep1. The entertainment industry hasn't been this sharply critiqued by any other show.

First 9 eps were a filler arc. I was skeptical at first, but while it didn't progress the main story, it gave solid character development and had the cinematography chops to match. Surprisingly better than S1, and had a good S3 hook finish. First 9 eps were a filler arc.
