It really wasn't amazing...
26 soporific episodes, truly unlikable and forgettable characters, graphically it's very ugly even though the series has the luxury of being produced by Madhouse... And the worst part is that the music really isn't amazing
Finally, the constant switching between English and Japanese is just unbearable overall
The opening is nice nonetheless, but the series is a huge waste of time. I imagine the manga is better...
Even if I were being nice, I'd give the anime a 4/10.
If you want to watch a good music anime, you're in the wrong place. Go watch the Blue Giant movie or anything else instead.

Well, in the end, I quite liked it, lol.
So yes, it wasn't the best thing of the century, but it has the merit of being very good entertainment. It's well animated, well directed, with some good staging ideas. The characters are likeable, they're all more or less developed in interesting ways, and some of the character designs are really cool. The concept itself, beyond the classic battle royale trope, is truly original, with all the craziness of the notebooks, each predicting the future in a different way. As for the MC, he's indeed a wimp, but it's justified by the fact that he's just a simple, antisocial, and somewhat ... Apr 17, 2025

I'm late to the party, but I've finally watched SAO in 2025
So what can I say ? Visually it's very pretty, but that's about it. As for the script, the first two episodes announced a series with a lot of potential, but then the pace went completely off the rails, with random time skips and dozens of floors skipped in the space of a single episode without the slightest explanation. A large proportion of the episodes feel like fillers, since they don't advance the main plot and focus on totally useless secondary quests... As for Kirito's character and the others in general, they're empty and uninteresting, and ... Apr 16, 2025
Samurai Champloo
(Anime)
add
It really was a wonderful discovery !
The hip pop/lofi soundtrack by Nujabes is a delight for the ears and the choreographed katana fights by our merry men Mugen and Jin are breathtaking. I enjoyed accompanying this trio on their chaotic journey to find the samurai who smells like sunflowers (I wonder if it smells good or stinks XD) even if there were a few rather underwhelming and forgettable episodes, the high points were grand enough to make the whole thing exceptional. In short, great Watanabe with a style and atmosphere unique to the anime of the time, which unfortunately can't be found today, even if I have ... Jan 11, 2025
Neon The Animation
(Anime)
add
Still no reviews for this so here I am !
So it's just basically a promotional anime for the nipponbashi district in Osaka, we follow Neon an anime girl mascot of this place who introduce the location to us while dealing with her sister's shenanigans. The story is just about promoting the district and doing commercials for a pc. And even with just that they fail to do it good, it would have been so much better if instead of 6 short episodes that present Nipponbashi in a very shallow way with things anyone could find by looking the wikipedia page, they made a long episode of ...

Well, well, well... Where to start...
Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san abbreviated Roshidere is one of the worst animes I have ever seen (and god knows how much shit I watched...) To begin let's talk about the concept which was supposed to make the anime "original" and "unique" : it doesn't add anything to the story, and as a bilingual myself it's just completly stupid and illogical. I really think it was added just to fulfill a weird fetish or something... Speaking of kinks the anime is full of weird fanservice that will please professional gooners and porn addict such as feet lovers or incest ... Jul 5, 2024

"I want to find the many happy things far away, hope sparkling with light Moving, moving"
These lyrics sum up this series very well. In a desvasted world destroyed by human's war lust we follow the adventures of Chito and Yuuri two young girls wandering alone in a empty city divided into several floors trying to reach the top of it. More than a real objective the two friends with contrasted personnalities keep moving on their little warlike vehicule living innocently day by day in quest of food and people to talk with. The fundamental of the series is the voyage rather than the destination, ... |
