It starts slow and silly but once you get to half (around episode 6 or so) it starts to get interesting and entertaining. It's not that exceedingly extraordinary, you can actually guess most reactions and stereotypes/clichés. However, it's fun and that what matters. I would consider it a kind of shounen parody genre.

To be more specific, the art is ok, the music is also normal, nothing compares to the AAA anime. So that's why it's just good, because it feels alright just for amusement. I thought at first to give it a 5 or 6 but I changed my opinion later on because I didn't ... start skipping scenes so that's a good sign, right?

Real score: 6.5

I knew it! I've never been a fan of Inuyasha even though I was a 90s kid. In fact, I like this more than Inuyasha as it's more focused on the girls rather than a general romance comedy isekai. This was dilapidated in the former season as it was the worst thing in the world, and guess what? This was one of the few decent ones that I've watched from Fall and Winter 2021.

The best: It's entertaining enough to follow on the story they're trying to tell us. And it's interesting for the simple fact that we're able to see what happened ... later to the characters from the original series.

The worst: It's more intended for kids, not surprising. There are dark elements, but not too deep or impactful. It's true the script leaves something to be desired.

I didn't expect anything more than being entertained. I didn't fall in love with this sequel, but I still feel it's lovable.

(+) Nice aesthethics, interesting lore, there are people and beasts in many forms.
(-) Slow-paced, boring in the first half, no extraordinary OST.

General feelings: I was skeptical about this one, because it was very slow and the MC was still at the same place for five long episodes where nothing happened apart from the extensive dialogues and the training. Then, he starts to travel and meets new people and so the lore expands about what is going on in this new world. William doesn't remember much about his previous life so everthing he believes in is based on his three progenitors: the mage, the warrior and ... the priestress. He is indeed young and cries from time to time but he's exceptionally strong and powerful although he's so humble and pure that many may have hated him as he doesn't leech over teens and young women. The main issue here is that there is few action and a lot of dialogues. It's almost as if... it's a slice of life rather than a frenetic adventure. Still, I liked it over the other isekai from Fall 2021. It was unpretentious and I really hope this story develops better in the second season. I believe this one has certain potential although I doubt it would achieve a much higher score.

Main feelings: I had pretty nice vibes with this story. It's one of those rare anime where it's bad but you can't hate it because it has good intentions about taking care of ourselves and following our life calling and dreams. Despite what I said, I didn't like much the main character for some reason.

(-)What lowered the score: animation and character design, predictable, incoherence in what they say and we have seen, lack of realism, no relevant music at all.

(+)What I appreciated: the concept of the main plot, the values about life, inclusive characters that we normally don't watch in anime without using it ... as a gag comedy.

It's not bad but not too good either. It's a very chill movie that you watch some afternoon to pass the time and it's nice to see.

(+) The animation is decent and it feels cute and positive. They added some fantasy. The romance is also adorable but the reasons they have issues are for dumb reasons.

(-) The plot lacks so many extraordinary features, the characters are too generic, they tried to add something supernatural with some character but at the end it's irrelevant. Just a passing dream. Not intriguing, not exciting.

Even with the darkest and the most melancholic mood I think that I wouldn't ... be too attached to this. At least it has a passing score.

This part of the story thanks to Hotaru (Saturn) and the rest of the outer solar system, gained more momentum story-wise and was slightly better that the previous movie Moon Eternal 1. At least when it started...

The thing is, this can't be too right. The team behind this decided to skip many important plot moments because they just assumed this was for fans and they had already watched this, so why wouldn't they connect the dots? I felt that the Amazon girls needed something more overall, as one of the main antagonists.

Oh, finally, they added a nice background music until it led to that idol ... pop music ath the end... it just cut me off the general vibe it gained until that moment.

I'm not dissapointed because I didn't expect anything apart from the fact that they focused more on the manga. However, the movies were maybe a bad decision because of production money perhaps.

This is my review as a whole from episode 1 to 26. These really aren't specials, it just that they couldn't air all the episodes at the time and added them later, fortunately, so we could watch the end of the story. By the way, this is a reboot from the male version 'Ie Naki Ko'.

Let's see... As it starts it looks like it could be a sob story, and it is. There is life and drama in a little 10-year-old girl that knows how to sing. She goes on an adventure unwillingly because of her personal situation but she somehow will learn to be ... free and more independent without having to listen to adults all the time as not everyone is as nice as her mum and her old neighbours.

I loved quite a lot the music from the OP/ED and the animation was fine, it was like the others such as Heidi and Marco as they come from the same studios, Nippon Animation. So if you already liked others from the same studio, you should add this to the collection.

However, it isn't exactly a masterpiece from start to finish and it's a little predictable so it's beautiful but not extraordinary. How it's called...? A comfort series? It could be well like that, although it's kind of melodramatic and couldn't stop tearing up.

So overall, I'd recommend it if you don't have anything else to watch and want to complete watching all the classics because at least it isn't awful and gives another perspective to our lives.

This is about 'Treasure's Island' by Stevenson but the thing is... Is this worth it to watch? I think that's correct. However, it has good and bad things so I'll summarize a little what I'm talking about without spoiling the fun:

(+) The story itself is nice, the characters are memorable and you can empathize with them. There's not black or white about this, you could change sides from time to time while watching this. The opening and ending songs are melancholic and nice, it really has that classic nice vibe so no issues about it either. For a 70s animation it really has nice quality, ... and the director is a famous one. He even directed Black Jack and Ashita no Joe so you can't go wrong with this TV series.

(-) Now the thing is, it's the total of 26 episodes the proper lenght for this story? The main flaw about anime studios, is that someone has put money into it, so the number of chapters always dictate what to add or what not. There are many filler scenes that had to show the real work from this team and so it could lead to boring arcs or episodes throughout this series. Also, some things are dated, although not necessarily incorrect taking into account the era is this based on, like children doing things that they shouldn't do for example.

Another fault that I saw, that I found a little concerning, is that one of the characters in the poster doesn't have much relevance in this series so they should have replaced it with another character that indeed was more important.

This is indeed an adventure story and fortunately a nice version although not perfect.

Did you love 'Rose of Versailles' and 'Glass Mask'? If you don't know any of them I'd recommend watching those (Glass Mask has a remake, by the way) and if you love the classics as much as I did, you'll totally love this series. This has been one of my favorite anime of the year.

It's difficult to tag what genre is this but something is certain: it's a mixture of shoujo and josei (some students are from high school and others are already 19-year-olds) and a mixture of shoujo ai and sorority. Everyone is complex and has their own situation and trauma. It has that ... old vibe about 80s and 90s but drawn with a modern animation and with values from XXI century so there's nothing cringy about it. They focus a lot on psychologic situations that are later on expressed through musical theatre, although I would have loved to see more of that world.

Still, the characters are remarkable and distinctive and you empathize a lot with them. They focused on every side story so that may be why it seemed so short for me. There's still content for a possible second season or OVAs and I'd be happy to watch that very soon.

This will be a short review so I'll just write what seemed to be the main points.

Real score: 7.5

I'm going to say this straight: it was more enjoyable than Inuyasha. I actually don't like Inuyasha that much and this one was more "edible" to watch and more fun. That's why it's not really a Inuyasha story, it's a different anime, a spin-off/sequel of sorts.

(+) What was good: Empowered and strong women, every chapter had a different story but never deviated from its main plot. There are certain mysteries that have yet to be revealed and it gets a little better when you reach episode 13 ... or 14 aproximately.

(-) What was bad: It had some logical incongruencies, anachronical dialogues sometimes, nothing serious but they should be a little more historically accurate. Sometimes confusing, because there are many secrets to be revealed later on. The first opening music was not the best, so they added a second opening in the middle that got a little better but the music it's not its forte.

Addtional comment: People seem to hate Rin, poor woman. In the Feudal Era, women got pregnant around 16-18 so it was quite normal? I don't know, people should be aware of those things and be understanding and respectful before judging too soon.
