Hi, to the one's who are reading this. If you are wondering what is this all about, well, it's a small (atleast I try to make it small) spoiler free review to help you more or less understand what to expect from it. I don't do these too often, but when I actually feel the need for it and also have the time for it, I write it and hoo boy, this one needs a review, since there is probably A LOT of mixed reviews about this season. :D So let's begin!
When I thought about writing this, I didn't even really know from where to
...
start or even what to write about since it's neither horrible nor great, it's kinda meh really, but I will try my best to explain what's wrong with it, what it is not and so on without spoiling the story.
I guess I'll start with blood color change, it's not great, not by a long shot, it just looks terrible and I think pretty much everyone will agree with me on that. I also tried to read about why they did it, but in the few websites that I checked, there was completely nothing about it, but my hunch is that some assholes from marketing side decided that it would be a great idea to censor as much content as possible to be able to strike a deal with as many companies as they can. It was plain stupid, and I swear to god, that those assholes better not show up near me.. Anyway, I think this theory is definitely possible because they managed to strike a deal with Netflix AND Amazon, so I guess it's good (since now you can use those memberships too), but not when you are just ruining content in the process.
Next would be the artstyle. Oh, yes, we are diving straight in it. If you noticed, it's a tad different (and yes I know about the bad stuff, I will get into that), but it's actually not that bad, i'm not saying it's great, but also it's not completely trash worthy either. So the reason why you are seeing this major difference is because it's done by a totally different studio. Studio Deen is not an inexperienced studio and they have a lot of really good works. What I suspect is, that the studio had a shortage on people to asign this project to, and not only that, they probably had not enough time to work on it, like at all. This will cause inexperieced people (of this shonen ish style) to be chosen for this and also to learn it and draw it in the given time that they had, well, it's quite impossible. Hence the reason that they needed to prioritize many things, which I would say they did pretty well, they tried to keep the vibe and look of the A-1 Pictures version to the best of their abilities, but of course there will be problems and for them it was motion. The moment you see some kind of larger movement, the detail disappears and that's a big problem. A lot of people didn't enjoy this (me too), but given that it is not done by A-1 Pictures (basically a powerhouse of artists) I tried to let it slide. I think that a lot of people also didn't like it because they read the manga (which I also did and it's really good) and if you know the manga well, you will see some differences, but not that much story wise as in effects and drawings overall. I recommend that you read the manga, it will probably be a better experience than this season.
As I said before, the vibe is there and they did try to keep it as close as possible to the story which is good. I didn't notice any major changes in the characters, the pace was also good, the only thing that bugs me the most is the clip from the ending of 24th episode, after the outro song, maybe it's just me, but something feels off there. I don't think that will impact the story at all, that is if they actually added something themselves, but I'm also not sure and I don't want to bother going through all of those chapters to find the answer so we'll see. XD
Overall I would rate it a 7/10, but not more then that, because artstyle is important and there was this weird plot thing or part I don't know how to really call it, in the ending of the 24th episode, I don't remember it being in the manga and I hope it's just me. But I also won't be harsh just because it looked worse then the previous two seasons, since it is still Nanatsu no Taizai and it was fun to watch. And please consider watching and reading this part of the story in the manga for the best experience.
So, in the end I hope that atleast something from all of my mumbling will be useful when deciding on watching it and that just in case if you actually have decided to watch it, I hope you enjoy it!
That's all folks!
I'm out, PEACE!

Hi, if you are reading this, you're most likely looking for answers and I think, that you're at the right place. This is another one of my more or less short reviews that I make to let people get some idea of what they are about to watch. This will not contain any spoiler that can ruin the experience, so rest asured, knowing that it is safe to read this. And LET'S BEGIN!
Basically, how I found this anime was simple, just by searching for the latest, finished anime. The reason why this one intrigued me was that it had some interesting genre tags - Drama,
...
Comedy, Romance. I've already seen a few anime with the same tags and well, they weren't so good, because they couldn't keep the balance between drama and comedy. And once I saw these tags, I was starting wonder, how this particular anime would handle it.
At the beginning, before I started watching this, I did not have high hopes, but once I started, I immediately knew I was wrong to think that. The story is rich with everything you could think of and I think that no matter who watches it, they will find something to relate to. It is really well written and the what I call "emotional scale" (scale between good and bad emotions) is almost perfectly in the middle. This means that unlike a lot of drama related anime, where get a lot of bad emotion left when finishing the title, this one doesn't. But, as I thought, they still would make from what I think is a mistake. In the last two episodes if you pay enough attention there is a plot option written in the story, which would make a lot of sense and would give it even a more positive ending. But it seems that there was a somekind of last minute plot change and the end, to which I have only one answer, it is to give it a more drama feel. It was done very discreetly and I bet a lot of people didn't even notice it. Though to me it seemed dumb, because they didn't go for a perfect ending. That is what I have to say for the story.
As for characters, they were very well designed showing pretty much every single type of character you can think of in a story like this. (You could call it a bit cliched, but it's not that bad.) And if not for the overexaggerated nature of anime comedy, they would be very realistic and life like. There is literally nothing bad, that I can say about the characters in the story.
The artstyle is also very good and with the sound makes the story flow very smoothly.
Overall, I give Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo a solid 9.5 for making something so one of a kind. Even from an artistic standpoint it is quite unique and the writter managed to pull off something, that not many can. Combining so many things together and making it available to enjoy for everyone. I would've give it a 10/10, if not for the problem that I mentioned, but otherwise, good job!
It's a very interesting anime and I recommend that you watch it.
Enough for my rambling, see you on the next review, PEACE! ^^

I do not recommend watching this anime, it has a decent plot at the start, but it's completely eradicated after just a few episodes. The MC and the girl that he chooses at the end are the most dull and just overall worst characters I've seen so far, the other characters are more detailed and more interesting to watch then those two, not to mention Wtf is that animal. Yeah artstyle ir good, but you cannot fill the empty plot with it and also harem is not only about having a lot of characters liking the MC, its about the MC liking them back and
...
not being a dick to them. What I'm trying to say is, he needs to be selfaware of his sorroundings, people and actions.
To watch this whole anime, is to watch a big mess, with sprinkles of good artstyle to hide the fact that everything is put together just for sakes of continuing the story, where nothing progresses and all ethical values are thrown away to make money. I as a creator and writer am saying that the person who allowed this to happen should be ashamed of himself, this is not how you make a story.
As for rating it's 5/10 only because of the decent plot at the start and the artstyle otherwise I put it lower.

I would definitely recommend watching this anime, though note, that if you are a beginner in the drama genre, it will be a pretty heavy title to start with. But heavy does not necessarily mean bad, it just means that the emotions that you get from the story will need to be cycled through, since when you watch through about half of the episodes, you will start questioning a lot of things and just overall will start thinking about life and how such situations might exist. Which goes to my suggestion that you should have a day off at that point and continuating from there
...
later. (Trust me that's the best way.)
As for story, it is really well written and in the end you shouldn't feel like there is something missing, since everything has a reason for being there, and if you have watched it till the end, you will understand what I mean. (The ending just makes sense.) Every character in the story has a purpose, which is really great, since it doesn't feel like the tipical cliche type of story and also the characters give it more depth along with it. The characters are almost perfect, there aren't exactly many flaws or even big flaws, since it is mostly about their thinking and perception in the story, about making sometimes questionable decisions. Artstyle is really good, didn't really see any flaw there either and it's great that they chose to go for that, since it makes it more mellow and easier to interpret.
So for overall I would give the anime a solid 9.5/10, because nothing is perfect, but this is definitely really close to it. This is definitely what I would call a masterpiece.
And like I said in the beginning, this is a heavy title, but if you want to give it a shot (which you should), do it like I said and you should be fine. I hope you like it as much as I did!

This is a small review, to make you understand (more or less) if you should watch this particular anime. Rest assured, I will keep out as much stuff from the story as possible, so that I don't ruin the experience. So, let's begin.
I personally would recommend this anime to people who want a story with a small amount of everything - drama, comedy, action, sci-fi, romance and bunch of other things too. It's well evened out and you can feel that there is a lot of time and effort put into this, but there is a problem, that I was having while watching this and
...
that is stretching the story too much, so if you want to watch this, note that it's not as emotionally and action packed as some anime. But just because the story stretched out, doesn't mean that it is a bad one, quite frankly I liked the characters a lot and just overall how the was story made. As for the characters, they were very well designed, representing different values and opinions on the world. But their personality wasn't the only thing was good about it, their appearance and tools (you might get the joke if you've watched it) that they use are thought through, as for each of them has a purpose. Though the characters are definitely not perfect, since some of them have flaws in the personality and mindset, making some scenes hard to watch since you know logically no one would do or be not able to understand something. What I'm trying to say is them being stupid beyond the amount of what they should be. Also, I would've liked a bit more romance from the MC and his companion, that would've made it a bit better and more alive. Otherwise don't have any problem, the artstyle in this one was great didn't lack anything to my eye.
So overall with some of the mistakes and flaws I would rate it 8.5/10, since it is a really good story, but I cannot dismiss some of the things in there hence final rating.
It has a really interesting plot and I guess the idea is to question ourselves what is to be human and if we should be scared of the AI (Artificial Inteligence) evolving to a point where it can decide by itself what is good and what is wrong. I personally think that just like we most likely were created and are a type of bioengineered tool, it wouldn't necessarily be much of a difference from them, just our body, but not our mind. But everyone has their own opinions so I digress.
Anyway, I hope this gave you some understanding of the story and I hope you like it!

Okay it is time to give my opinion on this particular anime. I keep it as short as possible and without any spoilers, so that it wouldn't ruin the story, so as always, LET'S BEGIN.
First of all, I don't know really if I want to recommend this, since it was neither good or bad, and even if I did want to, I wouldn't know to who. Yeah, it's that kind of anime, the kind, where you watch it and don't understand what exactly you watched. Even when I finished it, I needed to read some comments to fully understand what happened and when you do
...
understand, you'll know that the "ending" is not as bad. (That sentence is for those people who call it an awfull anime.)
So back to the reviewing part, it has a very mellow tone to it and combined with "a kind of" slow start, it might seem a bit boring and hard to get into. BUT THERE'S A TWIST to the storytelling, cause what actually happens is there is a lot of information going at that time, to which you should pay attention, otherwise you'll have a lot of questions in the end. It's a very interesting concept to use, because then you can see how much the viewers or watchers (whatever you want to call them) are actually paying attention to. But it's not exactly the best way to tell a story, since a lot of good things get missed that way. Also I would like that the one's who are putting the genre labels on anime, would actually pay attention, because it's filled with a decent amount of drama and I might even say, that there should be sort of a psycological label on it too.
The story is pretty good, the characters are also not bad, since they fill the story in a decent way too, but pretty much all of them have some kind of a flaw, atleast a small one in their characteristics, hence the reason why I don't call them amazing. Design and artstyle is pretty good, it goes pretty well with the story.
So overall I would give it a solid 7/10, for it's hard to understand nature (IF you missed something) and some of the character flaws. If not for that it would be a lot more popular and well recieved in the anime community.
If you decide to watch it, I hope you'll enjoy it, I'M OUT! ^^

Another sort of a review, which I might update in the future since I'm now at ep75 when writing this, like always I'll try to keep out as much spoilers as possible, so let's begin.
If you're here and even reading this, you're probably looking for an anime which has a character with unknown abilities and are looking for some great fight scenes to watch. It definitely has both of those things and a lot more, so I think you're at the right place. The story is very interesting, just note that it has a slow start, but it's normal, for it is shonen anime that
...
takes a lot of inpiration from the Big 3 (Naruto, Bleach and One Piece) and pretty much all shonen titles are like that. But there will be a point, where you will be already a few episodes into the story and you will start to feel, like something's off. The story will seem a bit stretched out and lacking not only story wise but also in the design. To me it seemed like they were figuring out whether or not to continue the story, which would explain problems and the UMPF that it was missing. But don't worry, you might not notice it and even if you did, rest assured, it gets fixed in a few episodes and from there everything has been going pretty well and improves too.
So, that was pretty much the biggest problem for this anime.
Now for the actual description of what to expect from this anime.
It has pretty much everything, a good place to set the story, lots of different characters that you don't forget easily and once you have been introduced to a character, you can expect to see him again. Enviroment has been handled pretty well, for eveything flows together pretty evenly. And of course the MC, which also is not completely dumb as in most of the stories that you see from Manga, Anime or even light novels. He is more aware of his surroundings and of his own powers, though he is still a bit stupid, but in a good way. Plus he has decent rivals, that are pretty powerful themselves too, which adds more to the story, but he is not the only one who has a rival, a lot of the other characters have one too, which is good, for it kinda gives the characters more motivation to improve. Also another thing I forgot to mention is their interesting take on filler episodes, since they use them in a way where it does impact the story, but not too much I either, hence the reason why I call them filler episodes. (It's hard to explain and easier to understand, if you have watched it).
And as for design, it's pretty good, but not perfect, you can see that from time to time (lacking some detail), but it's nothing that might effect the experience, since you can see how it improves as you go further in the story. The Studio is very well known, but just like a lot of companies usually the team gets devided into groups, so don't instantly expect the same quality as some of the other titles that they have.
Overall, atleast for now, I would rate it about 8.5/10, since there was the problem that I mentioned and the design has places to improve. Don't have any problem with story though, since it's going pretty well for now.
I hope, that this helped you to get some more insight on Black Clover and I also hope you like it as much as I do. I'm out! ^^

Okay, so I REALLY wanted to put out my thoughts on this anime for a while, so that the one's who are reading this know, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT. I will keep it without any spoilers that might effect the experience, SO.. (*large inhale and exhale) LET'S BEGIN!
If you found this particular anime, then it must be, most likely, in one of these 3 ways - Youtube, Google search for Top 10's or just by random and I will let you know that it doesn't matter which one you chose, I'm just glad you did, BUT if it was by Youtube, then you know,
...
what to expect, YOU KNOW. But if you're someone who didn't by Youtube, then I would like to stop you from doing it, (watching it from there) since It's going to be 10 times, no.. EVEN 100 TIMES BETTER THAT WAY. (Trust me, it's worth it.)
But now for some actual thoughts, so get your special oolong tea's ready and listen.
The story is tremendously well built and if it could make even me laugh, you know it's good. The simple design for making a normal main character act so abnormal is just bloody briliant. Plus the way that they get it done with is even better and it is alcohol, yes alcohol, the one thing that unlocks our hidden meanings and intentions, like with a push of a button. But don't think that it is only about that, cause it's not, when watching this, you'll be feeling like watching two stories unfold at the same time, which is great since it gives you a little breathing room between your laughs. As for characters, the somewhat realistic nature of the story gives the characters so much deph and diversity. You will never feel bored with any of them, for each one of them have different quirks to show.
Also the design and artstyle, even the music, gives it this uniqueness and positive feel, that is simply hard to resist. You can see that every aspect of this anime has been well thought through and deserves it's own praise.
Overall I Arcius give it a solid 10/10, cause man it's just bloody amazing and ZeroG studios you guys are definitely one of the best, keep up the good work!
I hope this gave you pretty much a feel for what to expect and I hope you love it as much as I did.
I'm out, PEACE!

Hi, so if you are probably reading this, you are most likely looking for answers on questions like, wherether you should watch this, is it worth it or even is this the right one to start the whole series with. Note that this is mostly a review on these particular two seasons of Fate/Zero, because if I did a review on all of Fate/Series it would be a VERY long review. (Even this one I'm not sure about.) BUT NO WORRIES, this will not contain any spoilers, because the story is great and I want for everyone to enjoy it as much as I and
...
everyone else did.
SO, LET'S BEGIN!
Since I want for this review to be as short as possible I will start from the most important question that I mentioned last "Is this the one to start with?" and to that I say yes, you should probably watch this one, because you will get a lot more context for a lot of characters, that will be in the next chapter Fate/Stay Night (whole 3 routes). The reason why I said whole 3 routes, is because every single version of Fate/Stay night has a different ending, so you will probably want to watch it all, starting with the oldest one. If want to know more about Fate/Series watch order, I will link a video, which explains it well. Now back to the chase.
The last two questions will kinda have a combined answer.
When I started to watch the Fate/Series, I pretty much did it to just understand what the fuss was all about and I didn't pay much attention, since I played the anime in background while I was doing some stuff so (*And here comes the hate) I dropped it. BUT it wasn't for the reason that it was bad, it was because I got to a point where I realised that it's not an anime that you should play in the background XD, because there is also A LOT of stuff happening and you really need watch closely and pay attention, to not miss anything (to which I did a lot), so that's why I stopped and added it to my own watch list. And after about 2 to 3 years later I started to see new Fate/Stuff coming out, which reminded me to actually rewatch it and so I did and I bloody loved it (also I felt a little bit depressed, that I didn't watch it fully the first time). Why am I mentioning all of this, well it is to make you understand that it's not some tipical type of anime, this is actually some unique stuff, atleast these two (Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay).
SO... As for the story..
Like I mentioned, there is a lot of stuff going on, in the actual plot, characters and their interactions. And I also noticed a lot of questionable decisions like the ones that, for example, Kiritsugu did (Like the fucking plane *facepalm). I don't know how it was for others, but I had already thought of another way to do some things that the characters did. I think that's a small flaw (The unrealistic realisticness?) So that's definitely a thing that you'll see, but otherwise the characters are really good and every single one of them is unique which great. The story itself is very well written and I saw a lot of plotpoints in the there, where it could unravel in SO many ways, but I'm glad that the writer did it this way, because the ending fits the the next chapter very well. Also I do understand why they made Fate/Zero by the time that they did, because some of the things needed really good animation and to do it 5 or 6 years earlier, would've been a waste and even pretty hard to make, plus it's the start of the series, which means it needs to be good not only storywise, but also visually. If you like lots of fights, betrayals and kind of strategic thinking and a bunch of other stuff, this is for you, plus it's written in a way, where once you get into it, you will never be bored for a second.
Finally, I give these two seasons a 9.5/10, for it's amazing everything, I would've given it a solid 10, but since it had those, sometime weird decisions from the characters, I simply couldn't (A smart character, needs to be smart). I hope I've said enough to make you understand if you should watch it and hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did. PEACE!

Hi dear reader, It has been some time since I did one of my reviews, where I try to keep out as many spoilers as possible and at the same time try to give you some idea of what you're about to watch and if it's worth your time. And without further ado, LET'S BEGIN.
So, I was very, VERY sceptical, when I started watching this particular anime. The reason was simple, it was overhyped by everyone. And when people are overhyping something, I just cannot go casually on this, I will put my guard on and start to step slowly, little by little into the
...
flames of hype. There are only two ways Hype can end, that is good or bad. But don't worry, this time it is good, but it might not be as good as the hype fans think it is.
Here's a reason why. Small flaws. Some may say that it is nothing, but for something that is highly praised by fans, it cannot be overlooked. Also sometimes, if there is a specific type of story telling, these small flaws can disrupt the story.
We are dealing with a very talented Studio and I bet a lot of fans don't even know themselves who they even are. The studio Ufotable are the creators of the Fate/ anime series, Tales of Zesteria X and of course GodEater. These titles alone are worth while talking about, but now is not the time for it, it was just to notify those who thought that it is a small studio's first work, cause it's not. And because of this, it also gave me another reason to look at it properly.
Now, let's look into the anime deeper, to see what are these flaws and what to more or less expect.
I don't think I need to tell the description of it, you can read it yourself on MAL if you want, but you don't need to read it to understand what I will say. So first flaw (atleast I call a flaw) is the timeskip at the very beginning (Training). Here's why I call it a flaw, if you put a timeskip already at the start, the flow of time within the story get's shifted (time sometimes goes really fast (even too fast even for an anime) and then suddenly goes slowly) and it is hard to even out, they got it done by the end of the season, but it would've been a lot better and easier to put it just a little bit later, then it would've been more even and unnoticable.
Second flaw, artstyle. Don't jump on me yet, just because I mentioned it, doesn't mean it's bad, on the contrary it's really good. The problem, that I'm having is the uneven style for fighting effects, more specifically main character. It seems that the MC effects have been "watered down" (That's a pun, you'll understand if you've watched the anime) making the MC fighting effects seem to look lower quality compared to the other character's effects. Don't get me wrong they still look good on the MC, but to me it seems that the effect is missing something and it doesn't have that power, that "Umpf" that it needs. For it is the MC afterall. (P.s. I'm not taking in the characters secondary abilities that he gains with the progression of the story, It is only about the main abilties he uses.) That's all I got for flaws.
Overall I did enjoy Kimetsu no Yaiba a lot. It is very well written and designed, the characters feel original and are pleasing to the eye. There are a lot of good Voice Actors chosen for this anime and you can see that they are really striving towards perfection. It's also one of the first times that I don't mention anything about character design. Why? Because they're perfect. The story with the characters flow really well. I would give this anime a rating 9.5, if not for those two small flaws I would've given it a max rating.
I hope that this gave you some understanding about it. And if you decide to watch it, you will see something unique, that you haven't seen anywhere else.
I hope you enjoy it, PEACE!
P.S. There will be more Reviews comin in the future, so keep an eye out for those. ;)
