THE PINNACLE OF ISEKAI THAT REDEFINES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FANTASY GENRE!
You're probably already tired of knowing that Mushoku Tensei is an isekai and that, nowadays, the isekai genre has become the most saturated of all. I myself underestimated Mushoku Tensei because it was an isekai and today I bitterly regret having taken so long to read it. Mushoku Tensei is a superlatively beautiful masterpiece and I'll tell you why I think so. I've written this humble review and

it doesn't contain any spoilers that might detract from your reading. I hope you enjoy it!
Story (10): Mushoku Tensei is a high-quality book that explores serious themes of second chances/redemption and coming of age. The protagonist is not an inherent saint or hero. He's a totally despicable person and this is a story about him trying to be better in his new life. Does he magically reform? No, but he will grow over the course of the story. The story itself is fascinating and the writing that accompanies it makes for a phenomenal long-running series. Anything can happen in that new world he's reincarnated into and there are constant risks, twists and oppositions present. I take my hat off to Rifujin na Magonote for creating the most epic story of self-discovery and second chances ever.
Mushoku Tensei has several strong points. I particularly think that the work's strongest point is its characters. We feel that in Mushoku Tensei they really are human, because you will always see flawed characters, who make mistakes and learn from them, who are not overpowers, or perfect, but characters with layers, with depth, and who despite all their personality problems, or mistakes they make, are still interesting characters. Everyone is unique and well-written, each has their own concerns and goals, they follow their own story and for this reason the goodbyes are very impactful. It's surreal how many characters I liked in this book. They don't depend entirely on the MC to be important or to experience growth. The interactions they have with each other are just perfect, honestly.
Another thing worth praising about Mushoku Tensei is its incredible worldbuilding process. Mushoku Tensei has the best worldbuilding process I've ever seen in a story. There's magic, knights, different species of intelligent beings, various creatures, guilds, adventurers and everything that reminds you of a good MMORPG. Only by reading the Light Novel will you realize the absurd care and affection the author has taken in building the world, and the way the various territories affect the characters is masterfully crafted. The powerscaling is very well balanced. In this story you won't find characters who are impossible to defeat, they all have weaknesses and understand that they can't win everything on their own. All this contributes to making the story much more exciting to read.
Another notable aspect of Mushoku Tensei is the way the romances develop. Unlike many other works, here the couples in the story seem like real couples. They have couple scenes, clearly demonstrate their affection for each other and face challenges together. The author always shows the povs and monologues of both main characters to justify their actions and this adds a genuine emotional dimension to the narrative. The series also manages to skillfully balance drama, comedy and action. The emotional moments are well executed and often intertwined with hilarious moments, providing a diverse and captivating experience.
Art (10): Honestly speaking, Mushoku Tensei has the most beautiful art style I've ever seen in a light novel. The designer, Shirotaka, exuded a spectacular artistic style throughout the work and managed to successfully portray all the emotions of the characters in the illustrations. The covers he gave to each of the 26 volumes are all impressive.
Pleasure - (10): This was the most sublime and pleasurable story I've ever read in my life, I'm sure I'll never forget it. It resonated deeply in my core. The gift I received of being born in the same century as Rifujin and Shirotaka is of immeasurable value.
Overall rating - (10): In short, Mushoku Tensei is a fabulous work of art that will give you a divine experience. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable fantasy story that's totally out of the box, who has a fantastic worldbuilding process, incredibly striking characters, charismatic and extremely well-developed.

Before you start reading this Light Novel, I strongly recommend that you schedule your appointment with the endocrinologist.

A-1 Pictures has already started the year with a bang. They're bringing us Mashle and Solo Leveling and they both have amazing animations! I'm really loving this second season of Mashle much more than the first, it's incredibly fun. The opening is a banger and the ending is crazy stylish.
Animation/Art - The character designs in Mashle S2 are still as beautiful and impeccable as in the first season. Producing a busy anime with this high level of detail in the characters is a lot of work, which is definitely worth praising. Congratulations to Mashle's production team. Overall rating - If you're looking for a light show ...

This anime is pure CINEMA. I waited a long time for this anime and it surprised me in an incredible way. Both the art and animation are incredibly beautiful and solid, the cinematography is insane. The direction behind each episode is extraordinary. The first episode is extremely exciting, remarkable and fun. I can safely say that it has one of the best first episodes of all time. This is a zombie comedy that uses the apocalypse in a brilliant way to show you how exploration affects you and how people steal your dreams and passions. A very entertaining masterpiece that inspires you to free yourself

Dark Gathering

Man, it's been 25 weeks of pure pleasure and insanity. I've always been a huge horror and supernatural enthusiast. Consequently, I felt like there was a lack of a genuinely macabre anime like Dark Gathering. I begged so much that my prayers were answered. I love how scary, unique and cool this anime is. I really didn't expect it to be so good and not have any bad episodes, it's crazy. He proves to you masterfully that you don't need beautiful animation to make a good anime, there were 25 episodes full of risks and increasing tensions. My Sundays will definitely never be the same

A-1 PICTURES DESERVED TO WIN A GOLD TROPHY FOR THIS ANIME.
History - 10/10 Sword Art Online is the biggest blockbuster from studio A-1 PICTURES and the absurd level of quality/care that Alicization received proves this in an indisputable way. Haters, please, continue pulling the hair out of your head and giving more audiences and profits to this work that I love so much, I need it to have more seasons. And thank you Reki, because once again you managed to surprise me by introducing an insane new virtual reality concept into SAO. The entire Alicization arc addresses very interesting philosophical concepts using full-dive technology, I even ...

A gripping and masterfully crafted supernatural thriller/mystery, the perfect gateway to Chinese cinema.
Of all the different animes with the element of time travel that I've seen, this is certainly one of the most unique ones out there. Its mix of drama and suspense gives the show exactly the same vibe as the undisputed king of the genre: "Steins;Gate". Both the opening and ending are divine and that's absurd because the first season also had perfect op and ed, I'm always impressed with the production team of this anime because they don't miss absolutely anything, it's practically impossible to say that anything something was badly done in ...

"He who fights monsters must take care that he himself does not become a monster... when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you" - Friedrich
Solo Leveling is without a doubt one of the best works I've read in all these years. History - 10 In terms of the story idea, it's pretty generic. But the way Solo Leveling transforms such a generic idea into a masterpiece is what gives it this rating. Initially, it's not that easy to understand the concept, but the more you read, the more you slowly become addicted to the story then quickly without even realizing it you ...

This is the first Manhwa Shoujo that wins anime. I wasn't prepared to like this anime, but giving it a chance made me have a good surprise and now I consider myself one of the biggest fans of this work! The anime immerses you in a captivating story of a girl named Raeliana who dies and is reincarnated in the world of a romance book she read while still alive in the real world. In the first episode you think it's going to be just another generic Korean isekai/shoujo but the more you watch, the more you're surprised. As the episodes go by, you begin
