Wow. This was fantastic with only a single weak episode. Gripping psychological stuff. Every bit of the show's execution was masterful, from the pacing to the background music. Watching it dubbed was also the correct decision. Wow. This was fantastic with only a single weak episode. Gripping psychological stuff.

Generic fantasy turned into a whodunit. While not a disaster, it left a sour taste. I actually think Ranpo Kitan was the better show.

Ecchi harem. MC was a support character instead of being a key fighter. And he did perform intimate acts with some of the women instead of being completely oblivious all the time. But the villains were awful, and the show ended on quite a whimper. Ecchi harem. MC was a support character instead of being a key fighter.

The production and songs were top-notch, but the sci-fi aspect left much to be desired. Episodes 7-9 made little logical sense, and there was too much of the buddy cop act in Matsumoto. But it stuck a safe landing with a wonderful final episode. The production and songs were top-notch, but the sci-fi aspect left much to be desired.

Dialogue was very natural. Needed every minute of its airtime, as it juggled no less than 7 different side stories. Some were weak, and I felt more detached than usual while watching it. But this is still an excellent cerebral show. Dialogue was very natural. Needed every minute of its airtime, as it juggled no less than 7 different side stories.

The beginning was interesting, because the MC was obese and the main female was a gorilla. But it was generic isekai by ep3.

r/anime awards 2022: Comedy FINALIST. I ranked this #1 due to a juror's passionate essay on it, though I think Spy x Family was the best show of the lot. It got 4th. r/anime awards 2022: Comedy FINALIST. I ranked this #1 due to a juror's passionate essay on it, though I think Spy x Family was the best show of the lot. It got 4th.

What happened? Junk arc with junk characters. Didn't feel any emotion compared to the first 2 seasons and movie. What happened? Junk arc with junk characters. Didn't feel any emotion compared to the first 2 seasons and movie.

Great ending to a great show that had only a few uneven moments. Not a single weak season except for season 2, but that was still a decent watch. Great ending to a great show that had only a few uneven moments. Not a single weak season except for season 2, but that was still a decent watch.

Season "2.5". It's better than S3 with only 4 eps, and is more focused than S1. Admire Vega has the heaviest backstory, being full of guilt as a surviving twin. Two other girls share the spotlight, but at least the writing was good enough for that. Season "2.5". It's better than S3 with only 4 eps, and is more focused than S1.

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.

Had some good bits, particularly the butt fairy and sandman skits, but this was just too light on the comedy and character development. Alyssa was lame compared to Azusa of Slime 300. The comically drawn Phoenix is what I'll remember from this. Had some good bits, particularly the butt fairy and sandman skits, but this was just too light on the comedy and character development.

The dramatic development of Shino carried the season, but at the expense of Nagisa. Questionable production and not as hilarious as S1, but this had progression unlike other romcoms.

Mega-budget fun, but this had no chance of matching S2. Kitasan Black was the least compelling protagonist of the show, as her real-life counterpart had a run of dominance that was unmatched by her peers. Weak supporting characters.

My 3rd Precure. Better than Hugtto but nowhere close to Heartcatch. Main cast was fantastic and had many great slice-of-life moments, but the villains were very weak. It felt like the final arc was an afterthought. My 3rd Precure. Better than Hugtto but nowhere close to Heartcatch.

[SHORT 12 MIN] Very chill. Wish it had more than 4 eps, and something more than Pokémon eyecandy, but stop-motion animation is just too labor-intensive. [SHORT 12 MIN] Very chill.

While I appreciated the darker take, every girl in this show is unlikeable. The mystery of Crychic's disbandment isn't unveiled until the final 20 seconds. Didn't care for how the eccentric guitarist Raana was a magic pill to solve MyGO's drama. While I appreciated the darker take, every girl in this show is unlikeable.
