In the midst of a blazing battlefield where the sounds of weapons and screams echoed throughout, two fierce warriors stand face-to-face. A crimson-haired woman wielding a rapier, her fiery spirit matching the inferno that surrounds her, and a black-haired man, cold and composed on the surface, yet harboring a rivaling ferocity.
These two were enemies, but despite the animosity between them, they have faced each other multiple times before as mere rivals. The man always emerged victorious, leaving the talented and capable woman unable to best him in spite of her incredible ability to best any man... Other than him. Determined to end their rivalry once
...
and for all, she sets out to claim his life in their final battle. But as fate would have it, her efforts were in vain and she perished in combat, her dying words filled with regret for the path that led her to become his enemy.
And then, she opened her eyes to find herself transported several years back in time with her memories intact. Could this be a second chance for her to rewrite her destiny and choose a different path?
Enter the world of Adonis, where a young woman from a prestigious family faces the struggles of being cast aside due to her bloodline. But in the midst of adversity, she finds solace in the art of sword fighting and rises to become a fierce warrior, outpacing even the strongest of knights. However, her journey takes a fateful turn when she crosses paths with a mysterious swordsman who proves to be her greatest challenge. Despite their intense battles, she comes to realize that her defeat is inevitable and her life is taken by the very person she couldn't conquer. But in her final moments, she reflects on the regrets of her past and wishes for a second chance. And when she opens her eyes again, she finds herself transported back in time, presented with a rare opportunity to rewrite her fate.
In all honesty, this manhwa is just fucking amazing. The protagonist is a female who could be described as a gigachad. Despite her alluring appearance, she is a force to be reckoned with, destroying anyone who tries to get in her way. But that's not even the main reason why this story is so amazing. The real magic lies in the rich world-building and intricate lore of the story. Initially, the abundance of information dumping may seem overwhelming, but soon enough I found myself fully immersed in the unique and captivating world of Adonis. Each chapter brings with it new surprises, keeping me on the edge of my seat as the story continues to unfold. And while the romance aspect of the story is slow-moving, it is definitely progressing, albeit at a measured pace. If you're looking for a quick romance, this story is probably not it, as the focus is on developing all aspects of the plot in a deliberate and well-crafted manner. However, I really do recommend this to everybody, as I didn't really have a lot of expectations for this but it really blew me away.
If you're a fan of intricate world-building, a heroine who radiates strength and independence, and a unique take on the romance genre, then this manhwa is definitely worth your time. Just be aware that the romance unfolds at a slow pace, and the art style may change as you delve deeper into the story. However, these minor aspects should not discourage you from immersing yourself in this captivating world, full of unexpected twists and turns, and a protagonist who proves that she doesn't need anyone to define her.
10/10. Haven't reviewed in a while, so I do apologize if there's a quality drop compared to my many other reviews.

This is the story of how a man became the greatest AKB idol of all time, his journey beginning with merely wanting to support the dream of his crush.
AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei is a masterpiece, which is funny because it was written by the same author who wrote Rent a Girlfriend. While reading it may seem hectic and over-the-top at times, the concept of the story and how it is delivered to us readers is sensational. Never would I have thought that I would be enjoying reading a manga about a femboy for 263 chapters.
The story mostly revolves around Urayama Minoru, our manly protagonist who
...
decided to crossdress and become part of AKB in order to support his crush who wants to be an AKB idol. While this may be the case, there were also some major focuses on other characters in the story that made a huge impact on how the plot progresses such as Okabe Ai, one of his greatest rivals.
This manga certainly does show some symptoms similar to Rent a Girlfriend ( e.g. pervy scenes, some characters having similar characteristics ), but it is truly its own gem. The only complaint I have regarding this manga is the fact that the ending was so-so but other than that I am speechless.
This was truly a journey. Many times have I laughed and even shed some tears. I don't usually feel as much enjoyment when I read manga as when I watch anime, but for once I can proudly say that there's a manga that is way better than the majority of the anime I have watched up until today. And that manga is this.
I highly recommend this manga to those who want to find something interesting, or those who are into crossdressing or idol-type manga.

This movie marks the end of the series Violet Evergarden. A tragic story about a young woman brought into the military, trained to become an emotionless killing machine on the battlefield and eventually became an employee of a letter-writing company. Throughout her time as an employee, she had written many letters and sought out the meaning of the few words a person she loved left behind. Along the way, she learned empathy and made a lot of new friends, affiliates, and people who cared for her.
The best series I've ever watched in my entire life and the first anime I reviewed on MAL. Despite
...
the "good anime never gets an actual ending" rule, I waited. And now here we are.
This movie surpassed my expectations in many ways I couldn't imagine. Remember episode 10? Imagine that but 2 hours. Maybe even better. If I were to describe the art, sound, character, story and other things then this review would probably be longer than a PhD thesis, so I won't. But it's all a masterpiece and that many words aren't necessary. So with that said, the only thing I could possibly say now would be, "Thank you. Thank you for everything."
Again, truly, thank you for everything. Kyotoanimation. Violet Evergarden. From the beginning to the end and from the bottom of my heart, these special feelings I am feeling right now was from you and I'm more than happy to be able to feel such emotions. I'll be continuing on my journey, watching more anime and hopefully find something that may be as good or even better than this. Agent_Redacted, a casual anime watcher and a person who reviews what he watches sometimes for fun will now take his leave. Until next time.

Finally! God knows how long I've been waiting for this absolute masterpiece to appear within my grasp. So this is how it feels after seeing your dad return from the convenience store with his milk. Maybe even better.
I still can't believe it's over. I was screaming and crying—my neighbors probably heard me, and before I realized it, it's already over. Like the two prior movies, Spring Song is a masterpiece. A fine piece of art bestowed upon us peasants who aren't even allowed to peer before its presence in the first place, but God was generous enough to let us do so. The art style
...
and quality are as outstanding as ever, and for some reason, the movie questionably has some Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia camera angles for a certain best girl's fight scene, but I wasn't slightly bothered by it at all. In fact, Arigatou gozaimasu.
Other than the art part of the movie, the soundtracks and stuff were as good as always. Fate never lets me down on this one. The characters are also fine, and yeah~ overall, I'd say I really really enjoyed watching the movie. One issue with this movie, however, is the fact that it felt like it could've been even better. Yeah, I cried and stuff, but I still held back. Like 10% water left inside my body? I feel like the ending could've been executed better. Regardless, this movie was surely 11/10, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it. I can't wait for more of what Fate has to offer.
Thank you for this journey, Fate. I'll see you again.
p.s. I haven't reviewed anything in ages so sorry if it's a bit scuffed.

The reviews and rating of this anime doesn't match, showing how unreliable MAL's one or the other can be. Nonetheless, I will be defending the rating side this time as I too enjoyed this anime and wish to share my love and allow the same people as I to get into this anime and not get a bad impression from the negative reviews.
Strictly saying, Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e is just another OP MC anime with a little effort of uniqueness ( the concept of “the Demon King is actually kinda good” ) provided
...
in hope that it would make the story better but that concept has already slowly become about as generic as its opposite because it's overused ( at least from my perspective and experience ) and this anime is fundamentally pretty much just a copy of The Irregular At Magic High School with a lot less talking. But hey, all these points can be seen as positive things or easily take no notice of.
Sometimes a lot of things can be shoved aside for contentment. I don’t know how you define masterpiece but for me it simply means good. The number 2 - 9 are simply there to make the contentment more efficient to portray but I no longer am a part of that usage of efficiency. Call me The Bias Man, but I only know what’s good is good and what’s bad is bad. All I strive for is contentment and so long as I feel content, everything else I don’t give a single shit. With that said, this anime is good. Why?
- the concept of “the Demon King is actually kinda good” isn’t repetitive enough for me to get bored of it yet.
- OP Mc is always fun for me as a huge fan of many RPG games such as D&D.
- Incredibly OP Mc
- Has technical harem which isn’t annoying.
- Acceptable quality, art and animation.
And that pretty much sums it up.
This anime does not need any improvements except it would probably be way better with better quality, art and animation. Overall a very fun show to watch and probably one of the more “acceptable” OP Mcs out there which isn’t just outright outrageous, uncomfortable or unwatchable. I recommend this to OP MC lads out there. This is a MUST watch.

"Just another CGDCT idol anime with the right amount of everything CGDCT idol enthusiasts need." - Yes, this is Lapis Re:LiGHTs.
Lapis Re:LiGHTs felt somewhat like Little Witch Academia but without the fantasy adventure thrill. Regardless of its unperceivable story the cuteness, good songs and soft yuri baits and teases makes up for everything, making the show overall better to a certain extent.
Expect water if you asked a server in a restaurant for water. I'm just going to point this out for people who are planning to watch Lapis Re:LiGHTs : "If you're here for something else which isn't CGDCT or idol then you
...
won't get it."
All in all Lapis Re:LiGHTs honestly could've been better than a lazy attempt of copying or mixing aspects of shows such as AKB0048 and/or Little Witch Academia. Yes, I don't mind things like these but I do feel like adding a touch of excitement or big burst of thrill sensations along with a bit more uniquity would make this show better than what it is in the present. A bland happiness.
Recommended to all CGDCT and idol homies out there. This is a must watch for y'all.

I am now your girlfriend.
Can we kiss? No.
Can we fuck? No.
Can I drink your saliva? Yes.
Naze no Kanojo X is the definition of abnormal relationship or rather a bizarre story of "how relationship can come in many forms". This anime was indeed disgusting however that critic mindset of mind had already vanished by the time I accepted the fact that it's not a big deal and I could learn a thing or two from this intriguing story. Which is of course exactly just like what I stated a few sentences above : "How relationship can come in many forms."
The entire anime is about an
...
abnormal relationship between a boy and a girl as they spend their school days doing whatever abnormal things they always do. Other than that, there's nothing else which this anime offers.
This anime was great and I indeed enjoyed it but it probably would've been very much more enjoyable if there were some drama in it and/or perhaps a tragic backstory of why she ( the girlfriend ) became that way. Overall a 10/10. Very fun to watch. Recommended to all romancers.

Another meme done.
Getting friends. It has always been hard the more of an introvert you are. Sticking like crazy inside your comfort zone will never bring you anywhere and you will never be able to become a better functional person of society. But what if somebody pushes you out of your comfort zone?
Hitoribocchi is a story about an extremely shy, introverted girl with no friends ( except from one ). She decided to get some friends after transferring into another school but her shyness keeps her from doing so. As a result, her only friend pushes her away and strikes a deal -
...
"I will never be your friend again until you befriend your entire class", and thus begins the CGDCT story of Hitoribocchi.
I've always hated CGDCT. However, my hate does not target CGDCT in general but only specific, certain variations. Sometimes CGDCT can be good if it meets the specific requirements or rather variation of what I want. Fortunately Hitoribocchi was under acceptable terms so I was able to finish the show with no regrets whatsoever.
It's fun. It's cool. All in all just another CGDCT. Cute. Adorable. Must be protected. Soft comedy. Started for the memes, stayed for the teens(?). Another 10/10. Recommended to all CGDCT boys ( and girls ) or people who are simply curious. You might actually like this like me.

Can a single boy who can barely fight save a world and its kin with a stick?
This ladies and respectable men is a grandiose adventure of a kid who got isekai'ed into another world after talking to a waterbending girl from Foggy Swamp and then getting attacked by some random dudes in centipede-like robots.
Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku is beyond doubt how to actually compose a good isekai. Oh yes I am talking to you overpowered mc isekais. I don’t mind your power scales but your stories are so damn fantasy generic and not creative at all if you watch enough of
...
it you'll most likely get exhausted except if you're the kind of individual who can watch Doraemon even after becoming an adult.
To clarify I am not by all accounts saying that genericity is awful. It may very well be acceptable. To make it acceptable you initially have to know how to deal with your own story. Once you know how to manage and deal with your own story you'll in the end be ranked up to "classic". A superior version of generic. A good example of this is of course Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku.
This anime my chaps screams "I know how to write an isekai" and "classic". Quality and animation needs improvement but there's no reason whatsoever to nitpick an anime from 1999. Regardless of how Donkey Kong 64 this looks, everything else is brilliant. Story deciphers perspectives of various individuals; how people who were developed/grown in different conditions and environments can have dissimilar views and opinions on things. Determination. How a single strong will alone can shake an entire nation. Conflict. How war will never end so long as one side still holds resentment and grudges. The Soundtracks, Opening, Ending, etc are also acceptable. Very 1999. About good enough to be called my taste. Now the characters. They are good but I need to dive into more detail for it.
"Kids will always be kids. It is what it is." . I know many people who hate kids and shockingly(!!) and unfortunately ( :( ) I am one of them. How they act, how they behave. It's ridiculous. And because I hate kids I often find kids in anime retarded.. However there are a few scenarios where I essentially acknowledge the fact that children are simply children and I shouldn't pass judgment on them solely on the shits they do. Many examples but there is one which I must point out no matter what. This anime.
Honestly if there’s a retardation scale I’d say that this anime is about 8/10. HOWEVER. It just works with the story like a necessary component required else the story just wouldn’t be as good. The characters in this anime are like jigsaw parts. If the entire anime is a jigsaw and it's missing the characters then the jigsaw will never be complete. Yeah. I’ll just leave it at that. If you don’t understand what I'm trying to imply then it’s your own fault.
Overall another whoopity whoopin' 10/10. An awesome isekai that should 100% be watched by more people and not judged just because of the fact that the quality looks like a food panda burger.

Pop in Q is nauseating and cringe-worthy, and here's why you shouldn't watch this hidden movie with a similar mindset along the lines of "Damn. Something unpopular with good quality. Must be good.".
The story is under acceptable terms. Isekai shenanigan, meet up with the homeboys, and dance to save the world. However, the characters and CGI are absolutely garbage. Specifically talking about the dolls/puppets seen within the show.
They are punchable. They are annoying. Their presence alone stimulates my evil desire to kill. Just like how a great story can carry lack of quality or how great quality can carry a mediocre story. This anime's
...
specific characters pull the entirety of this shit down like a ghost appearing out of a sinkhole and pulling you in without any warning ( pay no attention to the logic )
Overall one of the biggest potential loss anime movies ever. Really deserves to be better, but the past cannot be changed anymore. I recommend this to nobody unless you don't mind the dolly puppetty kind of stuff. I do. And if you are like me, then ignore this movie. It is by all means not worth it.
