This show is enjoyable to watch, but the shear amount of fillers it has makes it less enjoyable...

I gave the story of Naruto: Shonen Jump a 5 out of 10 mainly because the show has so many filler episodes, that I almost forgot the main original flow of the story. I know very well why this show has many fillers, but wataching this for the first time again more than 15 to 20 years after its first release just doesn't sit well enough for me...

A 7 out of 10 for the art style and design. This is the advantage of watching an old anime, everything ... is hand drawn, little emphasis on the usage of CG, especially when a serious scenario takes place, e.g. fight scenes...

An 8 out of 10 for the sound. The sound are pretty iconic, mainly the background music, sound effects, iconic dialogues and most importantly, the opening and ending song. These created a whole generation of fans, and from just hearing the iconic songs like "Haruka Kanat", "Kanashimi wo Yasashisani ni", or "Viva Rock (Japanese Side)", or "Harumonia" creates a nostalgic feels...

I gave a low score 4 out of 10 for the character. There are a lot of memorable characters, but the reason I gave it such a low score are because the of filler arcs it has, resulting in a bunch of forgettable characters (filler characters). Like I said in the story, the amount of filler arcs it has becomes detrimental to the main story telling of the show...

I give it a 6 out of 10 for the enjoyment. Though it is fun to watch the show, the main reason why I gave it such a low score is because of the filler arcs, where you feel like the story is finally progressing, but in actuality, is still a filler arc...

I give Naruto: Shonen Jump a 6 out of 10. I have mentioned numerous times about the fillers of the show, but overall, the show is just fine, memorable, nostalgic, but lots of skippable fillers.

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru, or My Dress-up Darling in english is a great show is a show between a doll maker and designer Wakana Gojou, and an anmie/manga weeb Marin Kitagawa who has a dream of going to an anime gathering. The story is very simple and entertaining. so I give it an 8 out of 10.

The show has numerous amount of fan service, but at the very least, does not go overboard with a 'full fan service'. The character design are very charming, cute, and unique. However, what I will point out is the imperfection of some renders of the visual ... art style, there are numerous scenes where the people and the environment does not blend in very well, like the render inside a mall is mouth-watering perfection, but people are like stickers on a painting, no shadows on the person, and no shadow emits from the person, but the shadow only appears when the scene is focused on the character/s, these gives inconsistency to the over all art style, which is why I give this a 5 out of 10

The sounds from the show are very good, the opening music is fun, and followed by the ending song is charming and cute. An 8 out of 10 for this one.

***This revirew is still in progress, I will update this soon***

***WARNING: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS*******

The first time I have heard about this show, I was sceptical because this is another isekai show where the main character dies in the real world and reincarnated in to a fantasy world. But I was overwhelmed as to how good this show actually is...

Initially, this show is not as original as other isekai animes have started with (died and reincarnated into the fantasy world) and the flow of the story is similar to the said genre as the main character has a potential to become powerful, and defeats powerful foes as He goes around the world. So ... I have rated this 7/10 because it is nothing too special, but will keep you watching as Rimuru goes around.

The artstyle and sound direction are very good, the animation is great, and evidently, the creators of this show really worked hard for this. The character designs are very great, and are quite unique to the show, and each chracters are lovable, and are worth protecting as Rimuru kept doing. So 9/10 for the art, and 8/10 for the sound, and I am expecting better for the season 2

Like I said vefore, the characters in this show are worth protecting, and I loved the fact that this show does not put a lot of cliches that can be cringey and not exciting. And I loved the fact that each rases are well developed, I also loved how dedicated they are in serving Rimuru, especially the goblins and wolves since they are the first races to be affiliated with Rimuru. So 9/10 for the characters, they are great, but I am still expecting more development.

I enjoyed watching this show, and I loved the fact that the small village can grow into a bustling city, which is similar to our real world history where a city or kingdom started out as a tribal village, so 10/10 in enjoyment. Overall 9/10: All in all I will recommend watching this show to everyone.

Within the first 10 episodes of the show, it has been quite boring. The story pretty much the same, but with an updated looks of the characters. I was excited when I first heard that there is going to be a remake of one of my childhood animes, and when I saw the traier, I was excited... New character designs, plus Anna look so beautiful.

The first 3 episodes are interesting, but despite having updated character designs, the remake did not deliver well when it comes to story telling and not having any jaw dropping action sequence or any visuals for that matter.

The story telling is ... so rushed, and everything just happens so fast, or the action sequence are just cutted (at least I feel like it is...), it feels as though it is a downgrade from the originall, 2001 release. For example, everyone said that Yoh will be in the cave for at least 1 week, but when they arrived in front of the cave, Yoh came out from the darkness like He came in yesterday, it just happens so fast.

Part of the reason why I enjoyed watching Fate/ Stay Night: Ultimate Blade Works, and Fruits Basket (2019-2021) is that they have similar or almost exactly the same storyline as the original release, but adding something almost completely different; Shaman King does not have that, It feels as though a copy and paste from the original release, and only updated the character designs, and... cutting some important parts.

Being released in 2021, I was expecting an amazing, jaw breaking actions, but I did not see that. Compared to the new releases in this year (2021), or last year (2020), this is bad. Blood-C may not be a good show (according to the people who have watched it), it left something momerable among anime fans, and they delivered it nicely. Shaman King (2021) is just not as good as I was hoping for.

I might still watch this in the future, waiting for something that will blow this anime in to the online world, but for now, I will cancel watching this show.

[Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!]
I do like the rhyme-e title "Words Bubble Up Like A Soda Pop". If I am a rapper, I would add this in my lyrics...

The stoy follows the 2 main characters, a haiku-persona & mostly introverted Cherry (the male protagonist), and a bubbly, social media vlogger/online streamer who goes by the name "Smile For Me" which gives her a nickname of Smile (the female protagonist).

The story first focuses on Cherry and Smile bumping into each other one summer in a mall and grabbing eachothers phones by mistake, which is like the kick starter for their story that sets-up for the main plot ... of the movie, which is finding the lost record of an old man, and slowly develops feelings towards eachother in the process, but Cherry is is about to move out to a new home...

This may have a simple story, yet it is worth watching. But this movie has some points that were never explored deeply or has a mediocre reason why they are the person in the movie. Like:

For Cherry's character:
- Why does Cherry shuts-down the world around him?
- What makes him an introverted person?
- Does he have a personal experience other than move-away to a new home?

For Smile's character
- Other than growing up, what other reason is Smile hiding her mouth?
- Did She get discriminated or bullied in her school with her teeth?
- Does Smile have other, deeper, personal experience that makes her the person we know in the movie?

THESE are some points that were never answered or explored, and would probably help build-up their character more and set-up their motivation. The old man "Mr. Fujiyama" despite being a side character, has the best motivation than the main characters.

Looking at another anime movie "A Silent Voice", the movie effectively sets-up its characters very well, and paves-way to their motivations that made each charcters lovable and relatable. Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop does not have enough character to its characters.

the art style is really colorful and almost everything is hand-drawn and very little CG scenes that were never focused on, the sounds and music are great as well.

In conclusion, the story is good, the phasing starts out slow but worth it, the characters are not bad, the art style is awersome, and the sounds are pretty descent. I enjoyed the movie nonetheless and is worth watching.

Despite having a light-hearted show, season 1 delivers a very good job in entertaining me as an audience with a colorful environment, and the story is somewhat decent enough to keep up with, and the characters are as interesting and lovable as they can be, especially best girl Azazael being tsundere, or grandpa Demon (Sulivan-sama) being grandpa.

One thing I don't like is the opening of the show, mainly the song in the opening, it is too loud and way too poppy for my taste,

All in all, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is a fun, enjoyable for everyone to see, and I would say that this would be ... a starter anime watchers for the isekai genre.

Despite having a light-hearted show, season 2 still delivers a very good job in entertaining me as an audience with a colorful environment kept as-is from season 1, and the story is somewhat decent enough to keep up with, but may not be enough to be a competition to other isekai shows, and the characters are as interesting and lovable as they are.

One thing I don't like about this show as a whole has some cliches that have were seen in other shows just felt old, specially Iruma being a good-to-everyone cliche, yet still did not have much effect on him one way or ... another, unlike other shows that share the same cliche like Gon from HxH, or Rimuru from Slime Isekai. But not all cliches in this show are bad, there are a lot of cliches that are entertaining, like best girl Azazael being tsundere, or grandpa Demon (Sulivan-sama) being the best grandpa.

Another thing I don't like is the opening of the show, same as the first season but worse, the song in the opening is way too loud and poppy for my taste, and it feels as though they are trying to create a dance craze, which is terrible. But thankfully the ED is much better, in my opinion of course.

So all in all, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun season 2 is as good as season 1, but not exactly better, and is still enjoyable for everyone to see, and I would say that this would be a starter anime watchers for the isekai genre.

(HEADS-UP: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!)

The movie is a classic-master peace, and one of the best, if not, the best SG movies of all time, and... heads-up for those who will watch this, prepare a box of tissues.

The setting of this movie is Japan's concluding part of WW2 and shows how Japan is in shambles after the historical event, and how it affected the lives of the families inside Japan.

The story excellently shows how awful war can do to everyone, some are lucky enough that their homes are mostly intact, and some are not, which is the case of the two siblings escaping the bombing in their ... hometown and losing their home in the process. And at the same time, Losing both their parents. The movie shows how some people can be awful, and also shows in ​desperate times, call for ​desperate measures in order to 'survive', but the war is too much, and the main characters were not able to survive long enough, which is the worst way to go down and so depressing to even think about.

to conclude, the movie is an excellent, masterpiece, and can is still considered one of the best, if not, the best anime movie of all time.

(HEADS-UP: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!)

The show is a hit and miss for me.


The series shows political sides between good and evil (though, for me, it is quite confusing who's actually good and not)

The first episode sets off a promising start, and throughout about half of the series is all good up to the death of Sheele and Bulat, a.k.a. Bro. But the second half of the show feels a little bit rushed, left and right, everyone is dying, such as the case with Mine and Tatsumi, who only falls in love in just one episode then dies later in the episode; And I also don't get ... why everyone like Chelsea, I mean... I get it, She's cute, but she's just a short-lived (pun intended) character that we do not know. And my biggest issue is Akame, despite the title with her name on it, is not the main-main character, but despite that, I still wouldn't call her my favorite character in the series.

In conclusion,
Despite the major issues the show has, this show is still worth watching, and I would consider this as a starter for those who are starting to watch anime.
