This review contains spoilers for seasons 1-3, so if you haven’t watched it (And idk how you call yourself an anime fan if you haven’t seen Attack On Titan) then please beware. Also, this review is about mainly the Attack On Titan series in general, not just Season 4.
Here we are, 7 years in the making and we arrive at the finale of the masterpiece that is Attack On Titan. Hunter x Hunter stans are crying, Naruto tards are star struck, the One Piece fandom is fuming, Black Clover loyalist are wondering why they like such a piece of shit show, and My Hero
cult members are being weird and creepy like usual as Attack On Titan has passed them all with grace and is receiving his crown. The true king of modern day shonen will have his last bow as he is instituted in the anime hall of fame with the conclusion of the final season. I remember way back in 2014 when I first watched Attack On Titan, the hype was insane so I thought I had to watch it. Unfortunately, 10 episodes in, I wasn’t feeling it. I thought it was another typical run of the mill shonen that was overhyped to oblivion. 3 years later comes Season 2 and the hype returned. I decided to finish it through Season 2, and from that moment on, I was hooked. The writing, the directing, the story, the music, the animation, it’s a beautiful combination to perfectly complement a beautiful anime. If you haven’t watched Attack On Titan (Seriously, who the hell hasn’t watched Attack On Titan yet) then please allow yourself to experience true peak fiction.
Story: 9.5
I’d say the moment that made this anime a masterpiece was Season 2 Episode 6. From that episode on, the plot in Attack On Titan became so in depth and fascinating that I cannot comprehend having that creative of a mind. The first season fell victim to being pretty cliche and started off as very generic in terms of shonen troupes. The only thing that kept people hooked was the very unique setting and situations they were faced with. And I continued to believe that until Season 2 Episode 6, the great reveal. The revealing of Reiner and Bertoldt being the Armored and Colossal Titan. That was the first of many mind blowing plot twist that happen in this show, and needless to say, I was shook. The ability Hajime Isayama has to hide such major plot points in plain sight truly baffles me. I didn’t think it could get better, then Season 3 arrived. If you didn’t like the first part of season 3 cause “wHeReS thE titAnS, I wAnT aCtIoN” then please shut up you probably only watch shonen. The Uprising Arc really expanded the setting to not just the scouts but also the political structure of the walls and how distrust between the military and the higher ups can cause chaos agains’t humans vs humans. It showed the viewers that the Titans aren’t the only enemy’s that are in this show and it is fantastically done. Then, Oh lawd, and then we were blessed with Season 3 Part 2. How perfect and utterly flawless those 10 episodes were. Erwin’s Charge, Levi vs Beast Titan, the basement reveal, the explanation of mostly all questions we had while simultaneously creating even more questions. 3 of those 10 episodes have the highest rating out of any anime episode in history, and there all back to back. I have literally yet to meet a human being who has watched Attack On Titan up to this point and still thinks it’s less than an 8/10. And now we arrive at Season 4. I have read the manga so I do know what happens next and I will tell you, if MAPPA does it’s thing, the final season will be fit for such a beautiful series. The story in Attack On Titan is something we will never see ever again.
Art: 9
WIT and MAPPA need no introduction in the anime scene and they are very high quality studios. The only main complaint I have is the main complaint for most people, the CGI. The Colossal Titan has always had shifty CGI and I hope MAPPA can improve the way they use theirs.
Sound: 9
No complaints here, the openings are legendary and the endings to par.
Characters: 8.5
If you pointed a gun at my head and forced me to say something bad about Attack On Titan, I would have to say the supporting characters, specifically the other scouts. I’m not saying they are poorly written, far from it, it’s just that they are more 2 dimensional then other characters. Connie, Sasha, Jean etc. are all decent characters, but that’s my complaint, their just decent. Of course though you have very well written and amazing characters like Eren, Erwin, Levi, Reiner, Kenny, Zeke etc. but you also have some of these more mediocre characters as well. I mean hell, the characters on the Marley side have more depth than the scouts tbh. Other than that, the characters are so god damn good, as a manga reader, Eren is one of my favorite anime characters of all time. Reiner’s struggles, Zeke’s push and pull between himself and Eldia, Erwin’s selfishness to his dream is something that just blows me away. Fantastic writing from a fantastic author.
Enjoyment: 10
After initially dropping it after the 10 episodes of Season 1 and rewatching it, I binged the entire thing in less than a week easy. And I could do it again just as easily. It’s literally impossible to get bored or sluggish when it comes to this anime, it’s a full fledged masterpiece. I caught up to the manga in 2 days, and if MAPPA can animate it correctly, this anime will without a doubt in my god damn mind go into the hall of fame as a classic to behold. I leave it to you MAPPA, take us home.
Overall: 10
If you’ve looked at my anime list or seen my reviews, I don’t like shonen, I think the genre is very overrated. However, Attack On Titan is the diamond in the rough, it was an absolute treat to watch this anime and when it’s finally time for it to come to rest, I will be proud to say: I watched Attack On Titan.

Ah Haiykuu, the return of one of the greats. Hinata and the Karasuno crew are heading to Nationals to face off against the best of the best to see if Hinata can live up to The Little Giants name. I have already made a review on the first part of To The Top which I recommend looking at to see the changes in opinions and stances I’ve made thus far. Like I said before, Haikyuu had to dig out of a 10 foot hole before it was even considered a watchable show. A mixture of it being apart of the sports genre and being boys
volleyball made most people 180 the second they heard the synopsis. It had to actually build up it’s reputation before people even glanced at it. I’ll admit in saying I was one of those people at first and I also admit it was one of my greatest sins. If you are on the fence because you aren’t into boys volleyball I would seriously consider giving it a watch. It’s ability to capture emotion in the matches is something that struck home to me and I hope it does the same for ya’ll.
Story: 7.5
Haikyuu, while having a solid foundation and characters, still has a pretty basic sports plot. I think the main reason why people stray away from sports anime is the repetitive feel of the matches after you’ve seen a couple. I’ll fully admit that I felt the same way. During the S3 match against Shiratorizawa, I was able to correctly predict who would score a point and when it was going to get turned over. Haikyuu followed the back and forth chemistry where Karasuno would get dumbfounded at the beginning, have flashbacks about their training, tie it up towards the middle, both teams go back and forth until the last few points and then Karasuno takes it at the end. They followed that same strategy for almost every match and it got really eye rolling eventually. However, the stakes are now raised and this is Nationals we are talking about. The intensity is through the roof and I cannot wait to see how they do. If I had to predict, I would say they are going to end this season at the quarter/semi finals and then have a final season about those matches and the championship. I like how this season is all about the matches and not training and I am constantly on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Karasuno does next.
Art: 6
I can’t be the only one who noticed the drop in animation the last 4 episodes compared to previous seasons. I hope it’s just a one time thing but I swear they change the art style every season.
Sound: 7
Sound is fine, openings are alright and the OST is dope.
Characters: 7
The characters are…. ok. They are cliched to say the least and aren’t really anything I have never seen before. If I am being fully transparent, I prefer the characters of the opposing teams rather than Karasuno itself. I think they make the supporting characters of the teams they play very 3 dimensional and fascinating. They all have something special and each have their own characteristics that make them intimidating and its really well done. The Karasuno team however is full of usual cliches like the loud meathead, the typical dumb go lucky mc, the leader etc. I still really enjoy them do not get me wrong, but I definitely think the author puts more time into the supporting cast then the main crew.
Enjoyment: 8
This is where I love Haikyuu. When it gets in the zone, it gets in the god damn zone. The final points in the matches where its neck and neck is where Haikyuu shines and really does its work. Of course the predictability keeps it from being anything more than an 8 but I still think its a solid 8 nonetheless. When Haikyuu wants the scene to be emotional, it will be emotional to the max. I cannot wait to see the final matches leading to the championship and how Karasuno will face the best.
Overall: 8
I really think the series is starting to climb the mountain towards the climax and the finale of Haikyuu but I am fully along for the ride. Hope the finale is as awesome as this anime has been thus far :)

You don't even know how much I want to love Re Zero. It's like there is a single layered glass window that I need to break for me to love Re Zero. Except that for some reason, I just can't. The characters, the settings, it's easily 8/10 worthy. There is just one detail that makes this series just short from one of the greats. And that is... Natsuki Subaru.
Story: 6
I mean let's be honest, it's an isekai. The story isn't anything mind blowing or anything we have never seen before. I think it's safe to say Re Zero is character driven. Now with that
being said, they do a 180 on some usual isekai troupes. Usually isekai's are about a game, however Re Zero is more of a teleported to a dark fantasy world. You have Subaru, typical generic isekai protag that goes through a lot more crap than other protagonist do. And by the way no, him suffering does not make him stand out as a character nor is it character development. This Subaru guy has Return By Death, a power that gives him the ability to respawn after death starts knocking. Subaru uses this power as sort of a trial and error tool to save his friends in dire situations. At first it was pretty smooth, but eventually he has started dying numerous times just to change a single outcome. And needless to say, it's getting repetitive. It's getting REALLY repetitive. Look I understand Subaru goes through a lot, but I also understood he went through a lot after his 3rd time dying. And here we are after his 32nd death and it's just eye rolling at this point. The only plot at this stage is just the gore and thrill factors. If it wasn't for the supporting characters Re Zero would be a 5/10 maximum.
Art: 7
The animation and art is just fine, It has been pretty consistent throughout the series and I think it's fine.
Sound: 7
Same goes for sound, no complaints.The ending song is so damn good too.
Characters: 8
The only thing stopping me from giving this category a 9 or 10 is... You guessed it, God damn Subaru. He's like dead weight that prevents this series from ascending to the heavens with all the other great anime. I think the supporting cast is awesome. I thought they were ok at first, but I think the witches are a very new and cool touch to the franchise. I really like how they can give a sense if kindness but could easily chop your head off with no remorse if you were to talk back to them. Of course you have the returning cast of Blue Ram, Ram, Beatrice, Roswaal, Overrated Shit Bag and the townspeople. I really think these characters bring this series to new heights and I am super excited to see what they will do in the future.
Enjoyment: 5
I know I've bashed on Subaru a lot but he just ruins my enjoyment. He's a major asshole when he's mad or distressed. The dude could literally look at a rock and start bawling. He just dies, has a breakdown, somehow just suddenly recovers and is back to normal, and repeat 30 times. And that is Subaru. He dies for how many of the supporting characters are better written than him. Other than Barusu, I really enjoyed Re Zero. I think the suspense of the witches and the unforeseen future of how the 2nd Season will be resolved could really grab in any viewer. I thought Season 1 was pretty average but Season 2 has definitely stepped up it's game. I am truly excited to see how this arc will turn out.
Overall: 6
So tl:dr Subaru single hand-idly takes this series down a couple points but other than him I would give this series a solid 8. Really hope they change the formula cause him repeating that same cycle is getting old.

Yet another Sho “carried by animation” nen. And this time it’s not even trying to hide the fact that it is all action and no plot. Unlike the other shonen flops that have come out recently this one doesn’t even try to make up a plot. It’s pretty sad to see the state of the shonen genre slowly but surely decline year after year. I look back at the glory days of shonen when FMAB and AoT rattled us with mind blowing twist and turns and a beautiful story. And now we have the turd that is Dr. Stone, Fire Force, Demon Slayer, Black
Clover, Tower of God and now it’s newest pile, God of Highschool.
Story: 1
Story? What story? There is no story and that’s what this anime prides itself on, no story and all fighting, just the way everyone likes it… Not. Behold a grand tournament in a universe where Korean high school students look like 20-30 year olds and everyone is just suddenly okay with watching a bunch of “teens” fight to the death. I didn’t know we went back to ancient Rome with the gladiator pit. Jin Mori, a typical generic shonen maincha- I mean typical student who just happens to be very good at fighting. With his power up flashbacks and insane moves he will climb the ranks and move up in the tournament to be the God of High School. And.. That’s it. That’s literally all you need to know. I’m pretty sure the only plot in this show is the animation, which makes no sense but for some reason fits God of High School perfectly.
Art: 8
It would be criminal to say the animation of this is not superb. The quality of MAPPA is indeed very appealing and I expect to see this fluent animation throughout the show.
Sound: 6
The sounds are fine however the dubstep take they play throughout the series is pretty bad. The opening and ending is hard to sit through and unless you are a hardcore techno fan, then you wouldn’t like it.
Characters: 3
Typical boring cliche troupes of characters that you have seen so many times before. You have the tsundere who I’ll bet you the mortgage on my house falls in love with Jin eventually. You have the typical quiet badass that literally does nothing. You have the typical loud meathead shonen MC who is always hungry and wants to fight. I’m not even gonna say how many times that has been re-done. And… That’s it. Those are the only characters you really need to pay attention to. The rest of the characters are just gonna be there for plot convenience so it’s not worth going over them. Can these types of shows really not think beyond these basic troupes that have been recycled and re-used dozens of times. It’s not interesting or cool anymore, it’s eye rolling and boring.
Enjoyment: 6
Despite me lashing out on this series, besides having to prematurely turn off your brain before hand, it is quite entertaining. The fight scenes are awesome and the animation to par. If you only care about thrill factor and just want a good watch, go for it. However, if you actually want a compelling and fleshed out series, I’d look somewhere else. Like I said, this anime seems to pride itself on being just action so if that’s what you want, hey go for it.
Overall: 2
I guess all action and no plot anime’s just aren’t my thing. Which just so happens to be majority of new gen shonens, and shonen also being the most popular genre, it’s hard to have a bad opinion on it without being hunted down by shonen stans. Cause if you don’t like shonen then according to elitist you aren’t a true anime fan. Numerous genres are WAY more fleshed out and better than shonen but I guess I’m the 1% who thinks that. I will admit shonens of the past have been success stories however seeing the lineup of new gen shonens, I just want to gag. I’ve said what I wanted and I hope this anime can create some type of foundation cause that’s what it’s gonna need if it wants me to stick around.

Oh my god this is so damn bad... My original review for this gave it a 7 and that has dropped to a 3 now. They pulled the most cliche of the cliche's to pull together this typical boring battle shonen. It's gotten to the point to where I am actually angry at Bam for being such a generic baby. he literally provides absolutely 0 to the show and for some god damn reason everyone in the anime follows him to the end of time. Like what? They set up characters to be bad asses who don't take s**t from nobody and then turn around
and worship Bam for doing what? Nothing. Absolutely ZERO. You can probably feel the anger this review is giving off and thats what i'm going for. This anime had a sliver of potential but the tiniest of sparks that it had are gone now.
Story: 4
The story isn't very unique as climbing to the top of a tower going through levels increasing with difficulty has been done many times. This is basically Heavens Arena from HxH but given it's own show. The story has a decently cool concept as washed up as it is, but I wish they just had something different. Obviously the tower is more sinister and dark than it is believed to be. It's clearly more than just kick some ass and become god (Right? Right!? It can't be THAT one dimensional.) And they are just using the most bulls**t ass pulls to make Bam seem like the interesting strong MC that people can look up to. He's like Shinji from Evangelion but doesn't actually have a reason to be such a shallow bastard and doesn't have the feats to make up for it. The story changed from a gang of crazy people who want their dream to climb the tower and experience what it's like to be God to them seeing how hard they can suck up to Bam. This story is going into a hole that I really don't want to stick around to see how much more ass it could possibly get.
Art: 7
Nothing good nothing bad, the art style looks more drawn out so ig that's better than CGI but I mean it didn't impress me.
Sound: 7
Sound is fine, matched up to scenes and I have no complaints.
Characters: 3
No characters stood out for me. Of course this is only the first season so that day might come but as for right now, all of them are pretty one dimensional or at the very least cliched. Bam is probably the most cliched of all cliche shonen MC's, Rak is a typical loud meathead character and Khun is the typical quiet badass. I've seen it hundreds of times and it just saddens me that shonen's can't do any better than these basic ass troupes. The rest of the contenders are all just there so they can be taken out or used for plot convenience so it's not worth going over them. The only compelling characters are the Instructors of the towers that oversee the games. Other than that, not very thrilled with this lineup of characters. Khun used to be somewhat compelling but now he went all gay for Bam so he is out the window and now the Instructors are following the same path. They are all like, "We have to watch Bam" "Bam is special" "Bam this" "Bam that." FOR WHAT? What the hell has he done thus far for people to be sucking his nuts so damn hard. I'll tell you. Nothing, natta, zip, zero. They just have to suck up to him cause he's the MC so it's only reasonable right? Awful writing. They portrayed these contenders for being independent people who will only listen to themselves and trust no one to being Bam's number one fan. I hate it and I hate you if you like it. (Im jk it's your opinion).
Enjoyment: 1
I almost forgot that a new episode dropped each week and ended up watching it way later than usual. I'm looking forward to Kaguya Sama more than this which should be saying something. I just wish another shonen like Attack On Titan and FMAB would come along and teach all these terrible shonens the gospel of how to make a good shonen. I need more than just action after action after action. Plot twist, plot heavy and actual plot is what I look for and sprinkle in characters. I was really hoping for something different but no, it's just the same repetitive story over and over and over again. Look, I don't necessarily hate ToG but Bam is just such an awful character and the fact that the somewhat compelling characters are now fan boys and the story is now just revolving around him just pisses me off. Tower of God has disappointed me and I really hope it improves if it gets adapted again because i'm running low on tolerance for the series and cause it was given quite the reputation before I started it
Overall: 3
Most of what I wanted to say has been said, I hope ToG can make a comeback next season because it is not going well.

I'm about to say something that is going to be taken way more literal than it really means: Hunter x Hunter is the most overrated anime I've watched so far. Now I know what you are thinking: "Wow this dude must think it's absolute garbage let's bombard him with messages telling him how he couldn't process the complexity and masterful writing of Hunter x Hunter." I already see it in my close future. But I want to clear up, no I do not think Hunter x Hunter is bad. Far from it, considering i'm not the biggest fan of shonen I actually decently enjoyed this
show. But the reason for it being the most overrated is because of the praise it got. The only thing that was in my head when I started Hunter x Hunter was "Top 5 anime of all time" and "Best shonen to date." Unfortunately after my journey and now finishing Hunter x Hunter I can say it is neither of those. That 9.12 it has is in my opinion undeserving and is extremely overrated and overhyped. HOWEVER, I did enjoy the very beginning and end of Hunter x Hunter and it is still a very pleasing anime so do not get me wrong. But please understand, I only think it's very overrated because of the extreme mass approval it got before going into it.
Story: 6.5
This is probably my most controversial opinion on Hunter x Hunter. The story is pretty generic and follows almost every shonen troupe and I don't know why it gets such mass approval. I think people confuse good world building with plot/story. They are not the same thing. Sure if this was for World Building, I would give it an 8.5-9/10. But as far as the story goes, it is really hard for me to see how it isn't cliched at the very least. I'll go ahead and rank all the arcs so you can see what I gave the story fleshed out.
Hunter Exam Arc: 8/10
Zoldyck Family Arc (Idk if this was considered an arc but): 7.5/10
Heaven's Arena: 5/10
York New City Arc: 7/10
Greed Island: 6/10
Chimera Ant Arc: 7.5/10
Election Arc: 7.5/10
The narrator and the over-explanation of nen almost put me to sleep multiple times in Heavens Arena and I thought it was very poorly done. In my opinion the Hunter Exam was my favorite arc and I thought it was very well done. The rest of the arcs were pretty average and that includes the dreaded Chimera Ant Arc. People would not shut up about the Chimera Ant Arc calling it one of the best arcs in all of anime. It's not even the best arc in Hunter x Hunter... I only liked the Chimera Ant Arc when it was post rose meruem, other than that it was ok. I just don't see how the story isn't pretty generic with a lot of shonen troupes. Kid has family issues so he sets out on a journey to solve said family issue and meets a side character and gets random power ups with a main villain group doing villainy stuff. It's good world building, not plot.
Art: 8
Nothing to complain about here as per usual, art was fine.
Sound: 7
I swear they have only 4 songs in total to choose from, I hear that stupid drum set song every damn episode.
Characters: 7.5
Now don't get me wrong, this 7.5 is completely because of the supporting characters. I am not a fan of Gon and Killua. I don't know how people think they are good characters. Gon is as generic as any shonen mc and Killua is just as generic as any shonen side character but add crying and blushing when people say anything to him. The main reason for my lack of enjoyment for the series would have to be Gon and Killua. They just did not sit well for me and their chemistry was almost gay like. I actually thought they would kiss each other in a couple scenes, i'm not joking. Kurapika and Leorio were way more enjoyable than those 2 and i'm glad the manga isn't about them anymore. The Phantom Troupe barely had any screen time for me to make a judgment about them, they were in York New, like 2 episode in Greed Island and 2 episodes in Chimera and thats it. The supporting characters were awesome though, loved them.
Enjoyment: 6
I really only enjoyed the beginning of the show and then pretty much all of the middle was a snooze fest until it got good at the very end. I just fail to recognize this as one of the best cause I personally didn't get that experience most people did. There are some things in this anime that I ponder why it was hyped up to be so good. The Phantom Troupe were all pretty generic and had 0 backstories. Before I watched it people were comparing the Phantom Troupe to the Akatsuki and such. I just needed more of what they stopped showing and less of what they were putting out. I wanted more Leorio and Kurapika and Phantom Troupe not Gon, Killua and the rest.
Overall: 6
I really wanted to be blown away by this anime considering what it was hyped up to be but instead I was saying "Thats it?" by the end. Disappointing.

Damn, what was I missing. I think my initial reaction along with almost 99% of the populations was: "Ew furries, hard pass" or something close to that. However every day, one by one, more of my friends recommended it to me and I thought they went furry fan boy mode. But finally, I saw it on Netflix and decided what the hell and watched it. Damn this was a good show.
Story: 8
The story takes a turn on the usual high school troupe with adding animals and a glimpse of reality of carnivores and herbivores living together in "harmony." The story is surprisingly dark which
was a major plus considering the usually light hearted plot of high school based animes. The show gets the point across that unfortunately no matter how hard you try to make it so, carnivores and herbivores can't live in peace with each other. The plot is a lot about herbivores trying to find strength and carnivores containing their own. And the way the story relates this to the every day high school life is quite intriguing which brought me on board. It's good to finally get some quality aspects that aren't cliched in a high school anime.
Art: 7.5
As you all know, this was 3D based. To a lot of people this was also a red flag because we all know how 3D animation turns out in anime. However I am glad to say that it wasn't that big of a problem in the anime. Only some awkward movements here and there but other than that it isn't much of a big deal.
Sound: 8
Nothing to complain about here either, VA were awesome and the sound matched the scenes.
Characters: 8.5
This was probably my favorite part of the anime. The characters were so good and relatable at the very least. Legoshi, Louis and Haru are very thought out characters that take a turn on the cliched type. The internal struggles they have are chains they have to carry and they must put a smile on their face and act like it is nothing. They all have to contain their emotions and cannot show who they really are out of fear of rejection. I loved these characters a whole lot and it was a breath of fresh air to get some new types of characters rather than the boring cliched high school ones. Great, thought out and well written.
Enjoyment: 8
I've stated most of what I enjoyed most about the series but to recap: The characters, the story, the uniqueness is everything i'm on board with. If you've seen my past reviews I haven't been the nicest to new gen animes but I will fully admit I did whole heartedly enjoy this anime. Please if your reading this and are still skeptical. Watch it damnit. Yea you, i'm looking at you.
Overall: 8
I've said what I needed to, awesome anime with I hope a great follow up with Season 2 coming in 2021. :)

I wrote a review for My Hero Season 4 back when it first aired its first few episodes and gave it an 8 out of self spite. Now that we have reached the conclusion I thought that I would update this review for all 25 episodes.
My Hero Season 4 is a curveball. I think for the most part we can all agree that this was probably the weakest season to date so far. Yet for some reason looking back at it, it has some pretty damn good moments. Which makes me question why I didn't like it. Deku vs Overhaul and Endeavor are the
bright spots that make this season any less than a 7. I think the reason I dislike it is because the previous seasons was mostly based around the class and their interactions with situations. However in Season 4, Bakugo and Todoroki were merely subplots rather the main characters. This season was hyped up to the max from manga readers and after finishing it, i'm a little disappointed.
Story : 8
The beginning to this Season was the dreaded Overhaul Arc. An arc that was framed from the manga readers to be Dark, Grueling and Awesome. Now it was all those but merely with lowercase letters. My main gripe with the arc was the lack of a good villain Overhaul was. I wanted him to be a Shigaraki (Long Time Villain) but instead they made him an arc villain and from what i've heard from manga readers he hasn't been mentioned since. Honestly, I'm pretty sure he was only made just so Deku could use 100% on someone. Throw in a plague mask and a cool character design and give him a villain motive. Then let Deku pound him to the ground while Bones does it's thing. Overall, my score for the arc is: Lazy. Next up we have the "should be filler but isn't" School Festival Arc. Once again manga readers overhyped Gentle and La Brava who ended up being subpar as well. I wish they put more time in the actual School Festival. Instead it felt like Gentle vs Deku was the main course and the School Festival was just filler to get to it. My score for that was: Boring.
Art: 9
Bones doing what they do best. Animation was top damn notch this Season and I hope Bones keeps at it next Season
Sound: 8
Nothing to complain about here either, everything matched up and felt smooth throughout.
Characters: 7
Once again as I said in the beginning. This season was largely based on Deku and The Big 3. Now, I have an unpopular opinion about the Big 3 and that is that I don't think they were necessary for the story nor do I like them that much. Mirio is ok but sort of stale, and I already forgot the names of the other 2. It's not that the characters were bad this season it's just they focused on characters I didn't particularly enjoy watching. However, Hawks/Endeavor was eye candy and I love both of them. I like the direction Endeavor is going in but I wanted more of 1A which they barely gave during the School Festival.
Enjoyment: 5
The course of this Season was being hyped up for moments and being disappointed time and time again. Only Endeavors fight at the end actually gave me goosebumps. Other than that this season really doesn't have a ton to offer. Overhaul Arc was overrated and the School Festival was borderline filler. If it wasn't for them actually setting up Season 5 pretty damn well I would have considered a 6 for this season. Its sad too. I have Season 2 and 3 both 9's and here Season 4 sits at an average 7.
Overall: 7
I've said what I needed to and TL:DR: This was a disappointing, overrated season that made up in a few areas. I'm hyped for Season 5 but dang, this is not what I was hoping for.

I think I have found it, the pinnacle of anime. I've traveled across the lands, searching far and wide to find the anime I wanted, and here it is. Interspecies Reviewers has thrown dirt on the line that separates Ecchi and Hentai. In my honest opinion I wouldn't even be mad if they turned this into a full blown hentai. I can tell the producers are just scraping that fine line to the world of Hentai and I'll be on board if they do.
Story: So today we went to the Interspecies Reviewers plot and found out it actually has an intriguing non cliche story. The
trio, Crim, Stunk and Zel go to many brothels around the land and screw different kinds of species to rate how good they are at sex. They then post their reviews on the viewing board and they spread attention to each brothel they go to. Simple premise, lotta fan service. 7 outta 10.
Art: The art was colorful and the boobs were huge, what more do you need? 8 outta 10.
Sound: Sound was sexy and voice acting was great, what more do you need? 8 outta 10.
Characters: One thing I love especially about this anime is that the jokes are actually funny and there is no filter at all. Stunk, Crim and Zel are a great trio that have really good chemistry and cut the emotional bs and get straight to screwing girls. The girls are all sexy except some which is intentional. Really can't complain about any characters, they are all fun and Horny with a capital H. 8 outta 10.
Enjoyment: I loved this to the max. Every episode got straight to the point and didn't dilly dally on any sub plots. Just brothels and girls for 12 episodes straight. It's a fun watch and I loved the characters and the sex in it. Still waiting on that hentai edition. 8 outta 10.
Overall: Overall this anime is a fun, sex hearted series that brings out the fetishes you never knew you had. Give this one a watch and sit back, grab some lotion and tissues and enjoy.

Ah, Haikyuu. Remember when everyone dismissed this anime because it was boys volleyball? Look at all of them now. I'll admit I was one of them but it wasn't necessarily the boys volleyball aspect but more as just the sports genre of anime. Sports has been a tough act to follow in terms of anime and there is this unwritten bias that most sports anime's aren't very good. Haikyuu follows this trend and above all boys volleyball is a sport most people turn away from when hearing about it. So you understand the 10 foot hole Haikyuu had to get out of before it was
even considered a watchable anime. But now that I threw the reviews about sports anime away and my lack of interest in boys volleyball in the garbage.... This is a pretty decent anime.
Story: 7
The story of Haikyuu is pretty generic comparing to other sports anime's and I mean there really is only a few paths you can take when advancing the story in sports anime. Hinata, a short orange haired kid aspires to live up to the Tiny Giant, a short but powerful player on the court that gets the job done regardless of his size. Comparing the 2's height, Hinata was obviously in love with the Tiny Giant and wanted to live up to take that title for himself. So he trains and trains and trains and trains and trains and trains and trains x24 (If you think i'm exaggerating the just watch the anime, 3/4 of it is training arcs). So blah blah he joins Karasuno blah blah meets up with the team blah blah they win a couple matches with team spirit and willpower blah blah and they work their way up To The Top at nationals where I thought this season was gonna take place. The story gets to a standstill multiple times because of my last comment and the amount of training arcs they do. They will play a couple matches for like 3-4 episodes then have a 13 episode training arc to smooth out and be realistic with how they improve. I like that they do training arcs, but I mean, it is a little much. This season in particular is hinted at being a huge training arc with a I believe a big match at the very end. I must say, for the people waiting 4 years for Season 4 to come out, a training arc instead of nationals is a huge slap in the face.
Art: 8
Smooth and clean and crisp and thats the way I like it. They do repeat some frames which is hard to go unnoticed but other than that solid animation.
Sound: 8
Again nothing to complain or gripe about. Clean sounds that match and line up with the actions on the screen.
Characters: 7
As much as I like the Karasuno team and how the interract, they are pretty cliche. You got the idiot MC who just jumps into things without a plan (Literally every shonen protag ever). You got the cold and compelled but short tempered badass thats a rival. You got the bald ecstatic loud one. You have the leader who rials all of them together. If I am being honest there isn't anything particularly unique about the characters but I still love how they interact. If anything the people from other teams like Shiratorizawa and Date Tech have way more compelling and interesting characters than Karasuno but never the less they are still a fantastic team to be around. And hello Kiyoko ;).
Enjoyment: 6
Maybe its just me not a fan of sports anime's or it really is true but Haikyuu tends to get really repetitive. It got to the point where at the Shiratorizawa vs Karasuno match I was able to predict successfully who was going to get the point and when they were going to stop the ball and score again. Once again sports anime's are very limited in what they can do because they actually have to follow in real life boundaries and not go full on "anime". And there is nothing compelling about blow-outs so they have to follow the close game scenario. Both teams are neck and neck scoring one point after another switching off. Then one team pulls away by 2-3 points and then then they have some powerful flashback about how hard they have trained and then turn the tides and win. That was basically every match Karasuno has played since Season 2. It gets repetitive really quickly and I think that is what ruined my hype for S3's match. I want to love Haikyuu so badly but it just has to come up with something more unique because the style they were using for the matches has run dry for me. I hope they can spice it up when they play in the Nationals.
Overall: 7
I think most of what I needed to say has already been. I want to love Haikyuu very badly but right now it sits at an average 7 for me. Really hope they bounce back with the Nationals :)
