The villainess trope is something we’ve seen a couple of times now as it has slowly become more popular. I myself was questioning if this could follow up on the success of something like My Next Life as a Villainess. I must say, I think it kind of did as this was an enjoyable ride to sit through, but by all means, it isn’t perfect and can be a little bit goofy at times. I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss is a fun watch for those interested in it, but it can definitely have been improved upon.
Art: 6
I always say that
...
art isn’t the biggest factor in my enjoyment of an anime, and while the art style and animation aren’t the worst, it's honestly not the best either. Sometimes character movements seem stiff, and to be honest other than the main duo the character designs themselves were a little bit boring, but conversely, I thought the colors meshed well together and really made some moments pop out. I also thought the ost was fine at best as well.
Characters: 8
I believe this is where this anime strived the most and is really where it kept me in my seat. I think Aileen is a pretty good female lead and has a certain charm behind her serious yet nurturing personality. I also really liked how they portrayed Claude as well, they showed both his softer and stricter side very well. To be honest I dont have many complaints when it comes to the side characters either, other than designs. My main issue lies with the antagonist as their motives never were the clearest, and kind of seemed a little shallow, but overall, the cast was great.
Story: 6
While I do think the characters made the show enjoyable, the story wasn’t anything too special, as the pacing at times would be a little all over the place, and the main antagonist kind of got less interesting to watch after the first arc which affected the overall plot as they were the main driving source for it to move forward. That being said, I dont think it's bad enough to drop the whole anime and for the right person, this can be an enjoyable watch.
I’ll give it 6 almonds out of 10.

Couple of Cuckoos was interesting, to say the least. The premise of them getting swapped at birth and their parents trying to force them to get married is definitely a first, but overall the anime had its fun moments but failed to really progress at all during the entire second half. If you are going into this show dont expect to get too much romance, because at the end of the day this anime is filled with a bunch of will they won't they moments.
Art: 6
To be entirely honest I thought the art style was fine. It wasn't bad, but it wasn’t entirely special.
...
The facial expressions were enjoyable, but overall the character designs were okay at best. What I will say is that the music was pretty good. That caught me by surprise, but I thoroughly enjoyed both openings this anime provided us.
Characters: 7
I actually think that the characters are pretty enjoyable. I think Hiro provides a presence in this anime that is needed, Erika has her charms, and Sachi is kinda your basic anime sister I won't lie. I think the characters gel really well together, if only they went through better development, then the anime would've been better.
Story: 5
It pains me to say it, but the story was kind of eh. It's unfortunate cuz I didn't think the initial premise was terrible, and I thought the first couple of eps did a decent job at introducing all the characters, but keeping all things considered once we hit episode 12, it kind of feels like the anime is just dragging the conclusion for no reason. Overall I would give this anime 6 cucks out of 10.

We don’t like Disney... Summer Time Rendering is great! This anime that no one can get their hands on ended up being one of the best anime of the year so far. I thought the 25-episode length was the perfect amount of time to tell this wonderfully sewn-together story. It was an enjoyable ride from start to finish, with plenty of drama and action-packed moments. We got a real gem with this one.
Art: 9
Now I dont think the art is anything amazing to look at, but it definitely fit the tone of the anime, the character design and art style would really mesh well
...
with those gruesome and serious moments that this show brings. The animation was also really crisp, as the fight scenes had some great moments. The music was good too, the ending of the first half is such a beautiful track that I could keep on listening too. Most of the music in this show is great, not only that one ending.
Characters: 9
Most of the characters in this anime are great. Especially Shinpei, Ushio, and Nagumo, however, there are certain characters that are a little harder to get attached to when they have more prominent roles, as they didn't get the same amount of development as some of the others, but with the main protags, and antags all being really well done, I dont really have much to complain about.
Story: 10
This anime had the best story out of any other anime this season. With it having a good start, and a good ending too, to me as an anime fan, I couldn't ask for more. I thought the series length at 25 episodes was perfect, I thought the pacing of the anime was really good, and nothing ever happened where I felt it was a little too convenient. I think the entire storyline between the antagonists was really good, and as the show progressed it just got you more and more interested. Now I will be objectively fair, there were maybe two episodes sprinkled in the middle that was a little boring, but those were necessary to move the plot along in a reasonable manner. Overall Summer Time Render was a banger and I would give it 9 shadows out of 10.

Welcome to the most stylistic and relatable anime of the summer season. Call of the Night is as good as it hyped up to be. I think we all had those moments growing up where we didn’t know what our point in this world is, so with that relatable belief sprinkled in with some vampire fun, it ends up making a really good anime. From the characters to the environments, to the story, everything was done so well. It was funny when it needed to be, and did a really good job when it dealt with some serious tones. In all honesty, it really surprised
...
me.
Art: 10
Stylistically speaking this anime had the best art of the season for me, and maybe even the best art of the year. For starters the animation was crisp, and if you weren't surprised by the good animation, the beautiful backgrounds of the nighttime atmosphere were done in a way that I've never seen before. It was really a pleasure to look at. Now you topple that with the banging music that this anime gives you along with the fire character designs and you get a 10/10 art score right there.
Characters: 10
I originally had this score at a 9 because this anime has really strong characters, that you can just relate to, even the side characters were going through actual problems that we would go through in our everyday life which made them incredibly complex, but I thought that we didn’t have enough info of why our main characters are the way they are, both Kou and Nazuna. However that all changed as the show entered its later half, and we really got into detail about them. Honestly, almost everyone was so well developed in this short time span.
Story: 9
Let's just say that the narrative overcame my expectations. The story is really good, I can not lie. I say this because after the tone shift of the anime, and once it started heading into the climax, it really grabs your attention and makes you want to see where it goes next, and the fact that the story is backed by excellent characters makes it even better. Not even mentioning the banger of a finale episode that we god. Overall this anime ended up being great, I give it 9 vampire teeth out of 10

After so many years, it finally came back!!!!!! However, it was unfortunately not as good as everyone hoped. Unlike the first season, this time the anime likes to fall flat at times, and the comedy, in general, isn’t as enjoyable. It kind of feels like it can’t choose when to be serious or funny at the right times, which wasn’t an issue during season 1, so this anime being underwhelming was honestly a bit of a surprise. Other than that the main storyline this season just kind of wasn’t that interesting.
Art: 5
This was kind of a letdown. For an anime with this much hype,
...
you would think the art would be a little better. For starters, the music really wasn’t that good this time around as I didn’t really enjoy the opening, ending, or ost. Then there's the new character designs and art in general, yes it's a cleaner art style, but it makes the characters seem blander. The worst part though is the animation. At times it just looked downright bad. I just expected it to be better overall.
Characters: 8
The one saving grace for this anime is the cast. If the main group didn’t mesh as well with each other as it does, then this anime would've been a lot worse. The characters are still really enjoyable to watch and we get some development on them throughout the season, but unfortunately, the comedic timing on a lot of the jokes just wasn’t that good which makes me downgrade the score a little.
Story: 5
I’ve got only one word to describe the story this season and it's boring. Unfortunately, the serious directions that this anime tries to take dont hit that well, and with the antagonists being kind of goofy when the jokes dont hit, the show just becomes uninteresting and bland to watch. I really wanted more from this anime, but I can only give it 6 Yesod shards out of 10.

Danmachi is back! It went back to its roots this season with just a good old dungeon adventure, and I think that's what it needed. It was really nice to see Bell and the gang grow as a group together. What I didn’t expect is how gruesome this season ended up being, which really supported the anime with how the story was progressing in the latter half. It was pretty enjoyable all things considered.
Art: 8
The art as expected was good this season. The animation during most moments was smooth, and the character designs are also fun to look at. The ost absolutely smacks, honestly
...
most of the music in the anime is pretty good aside from the opening I thought it was okay. Honestly, a pretty good job because the art would match the dark tone this season was trying to set.
Characters: 6
Here me out, I believe that Danmachi struggles with the too many side characters problem. The world-building of this anime is phenomenal, and some of the characters are really well written and go through some good development, but unfortunately, that also means some characters are a little flat and uninteresting, which kind of felt like half of the cast this season. By all means, they are bad, just when certain characters were on screen I felt uninterested at times. Also, the new characters that they introduced aren’t exactly that interesting. As for Bell, I mean he is still bell. He's pretty standard all things considered.
Story: 9
I loved what they did this season, by going back to Bell's original goal of going through the dungeon. I also love the events that took place to lead this season to its climax, and the climax itself was really well done. If only the first couple of episodes weren’t as slow then this score would be higher, but my interest definitely took once the second half of this season started.
Overall I thought this was an improvement from last season, so ill give it 8 firebolts out of 10.

Bone Daddy and his goons are back, and they are twisted as ever. This season had a much slower-paced set of events, which was actually a nice change as we got to see the story conclusions of multiple characters. I also think that this season had easily the darkest tone out of all of them up to date, as we saw a ruthless side of Ainz that was teased, but not shown to this amount before. It's another solid season in the books for Overlord.
Art: 7
The art was good, it's nothing groundbreaking, but I'm willing to give that a pass since this season seemed
...
more political. The character designs are still fun and creative, and the music absolutely SMACKS, but overall it was good, but not great.
Characters: 9
In my opinion, this was the best part of this season we got to see some more points of view for each character. We got to see more development for Ainz as well, whether it be good or bad, but what really carries this is the Princess. What they did with her character is great, and the way they concluded her story was even better. It was very enjoyable from a watcher's perspective. The reason it is not a 10 is that I felt like they built up some characters that were going to have a bigger role, but in reality, had one episode to shine(pandoras actor).
Story: 7
Like I said before, this season was much slower-paced, in my opinion, is focused more on the characters than the actual set of events that happened, which is perfectly fine, but on the flip side that also means when there are characters on the screen that dont really do much to contribute, watching it can be boring at times. However, overall this season was still very enjoyable. I’d give it 8 Bone Daddy’s out of 10.

Classroom of the Elite is back with its unexpected return, and while production as a whole went down, it came back to provide us more big-brain action like the first season backed by its entertaining characters and a really good climax. There are a couple of issues with this adaptation that I would like to point out, but it has nothing to do with the source material as I’m strictly reviewing this as the anime, not the light novel because I understand that there are some changes. Now as good as this anime is, it struggled from pacing issues toward the beginning and kind of
...
just had a rough start to the season in general, also animation dropped as a whole.
Art: 7
I can’t lie this rating would be a lot lower if it wasn’t for the quality of the last few episodes, but even then most of the season struggled from subpar animation. What I will say is that the music still continues to be great. From the op to the ost, was a pretty solid soundtrack.
Characters: 8
Kiyopon is a cool mc. His ability to not give a damn about anything(at times) always makes him enjoyable to watch. Also, Ryuen is a good antagonist as well, however, his motives to his actions aren’t explained the best. Other than that the side characters have a surprising amount of depth to them. Kei is fire.
Story: 8
The Story is a tale of two halves. I liked what they did with Ryuen, but as I said before it starts off pretty slow and felt a little rushed early to really close in on the final couple of events of the season, but at the end of the day what is important is enjoyment, and this series is always a fun watch. Overall I give it an 8/10

Engage Kiss was one of two A1 pictures anime originals this season, and unfortunately, I have to say that it kind of disappointed me. It's not that it's bad, but there were some pretty big pacing flaws and just flaws with some of the characters and the story in general. To me, it was an anime with a pretty promising concept that failed to deliver on its potential.
Art: 8
One thing I can’t take away from it though is the fact that the art is great. I thought the character designs were a bit generic, but the animation was really stellar. Every fight scene was
...
also pretty hype to watch. I do think the music was kind of just okay which is my biggest issue with the art.
Characters: 7
Personally, I’m a bit torn with the characters. I think some of them like Miles, and Ayano were done really well, but I can’t stand behind the MC. The main character is genuinely not a good person, and I think defending him is okay, but not the number of times they did defend him throughout the anime. But it's not all bad with Shu, as I think some of his choices are a little justified to a point, and his backstory is genuinely depressing, but sometimes I felt like he went too far.
Story: 5
To be honest the story felt like lost potential, too inconsistent. I think there were a lot of good moments with the story, but it felt like they tried to fit too many things within the 13 episodes. I think this anime would've been a lot better if the pacing issues were solved and it just had more episodes to really explain each event that happened because at the end of the day it just felt like the anime jumped around too much which could lead to some confusion. Overall it wasn’t a bad anime, but it could've been a lot better. 6/10

I’m going to start this with a quick shout-out to A1 pictures for doing a really good job with this anime original. Lycoris Recoil seemed to be the surprise of the season for many as it quickly shot up in popularity. I must say that at first I was skeptical but with a really solid second half of the season I have to agree. The anime did a great job with just developing a story and getting us attached to the characters while still delivering those deep heartfelt moments. Now It's not perfect, but it was a
...
really enjoyable watch.
Art: 10
The art in this anime was phenomenal, the character's designs were really creative and enjoyable, the animation was smooth with its movements and fight scenes, and the music would always deliver. All backed up by really good voice acting too. Just watching the anime was a pleasure to my eyes.
Characters: 9
So I can't lie I almost gave this a 10. As I think most of the characters were developed really well in a short time, and there is so much much good chemistry behind each one. I think the protagonist duo is excellent and was always enjoyable well they shared the screen, but I also think characters like Kurumi and Mika were also done really well(Mika my personal favorite). But the one minor flaw that I have is that I personally thought the main antagonist Majima could have better motives for his actions and I thought he was okay at best in my personal opinion.
Story: 8
Now this score may seem a little low but it's because I really think this anime thrives with the characters more than anything else. I didn’t think the story was really where my enjoyment came with this anime, and so with Majima being the main driving force of the story, I thought it was good but not great, however, the subplots that were intertwined were a lot better, especially the stuff surrounding Yoshi. Overall it's a good watch I’d recommend to anyone. 8/10
