"Princess Principal: Crown Handler Movie 3" presents a compelling narrative set against a backdrop of political intrigue and power struggles. The movie dives into the aftermath of Prince Edward's assassination, and as the kingdom's nobles discuss the succession, we're introduced to a complex web of allegiances and motivations. The characters' allegiances are tested as alliances shift, especially when Princess Mary and Prince Richard vie for the throne. The enigmatic Princess finds herself torn between her desire for a more egalitarian world and the unsettling revelations surrounding Prince Edward's murder, which implicate the Duke of Arkham. This internal conflict adds depth to her character and sets ... the stage for the intrigue that unfolds.

The infiltration mission undertaken by Ange and Dorothy as Mary's maids adds a layer of suspense, giving viewers a closer look into the royal family's dynamics and the impact of power struggles on individuals. The pressure on Mary to ascend the throne paints a poignant picture of the sacrifices and burdens that come with royalty. The plot's tension escalates as the Duke of Arkham's plot begins to unravel, plunging the narrative into a darker direction. The movie masterfully captures the atmosphere of uncertainty and shifting loyalties, creating an engaging viewing experience.

However, it does not seem like we will be getting a sequel or 4th movie to this anytime soon. Some of you might find the "Crown Handler" series a cliffhanger, if you don't like this, then don't watch it yet.

"Tonikaku Kawaii: Joshikou-hen" emerges as the vibrant sequel for the series that we have yearned for. Unlike the 2nd season, it rekindles the charm and chemistry that made the original season beloved. With captivating character growth and seamless storytelling, it successfully recaptures the magic while offering a fresh perspective. In all honesty, skipping the 2nd season completely or watching the last few episodes and then proceeding to this would be the best idea; since the majority of the 2nd season is just a repetitive cycle of the first one. Overall, this ONA serves as the proper sequel to the first series, with some of the ... 2nd season episodes in mind. It also "might" serve as a hint for a 3rd season.

"Tonikaku Kawaii," known for its heartwarming romance and endearing characters, takes a hit in its second season due to issues of repetition and a drop in quality. While the initial charm of the series shines through in the first season, the second season struggles with repetitive storylines and lackluster developments, it is simply another take on the first season where nothing happens. There is a lack of fresh content and a failure to capture the same magic that made the first season enjoyable. Nasa and Tsukasa have been married for over a year and they still find the "normal" things that couples do embarrassing as ... if there were no mature developments. Ultimately, the second season's shortcomings overshadow the series' initial appeal, leaving that longing for the original charm that brought Nasa and Tsukasa's romance to life.

Kakkou no Iinazuke is basically a Nisekoi ripoff that went too far. This show is one of those animes where it could have ended in the first few episodes and it would have been better that way. It focuses on "rivalry" romance where the mc gets to choose from the selection but the show forgets the essence of that selection. Similar to what other people said in their reviews, the show had a lot of gaps and loose ends, but neither of those were solved, this also includes the manga. Ironically, the latter half of the show is somewhat a bait for the viewers to ... read the manga to "know more" and yet the manga itself became confusing and made more loose ends.

Overall, save your time and spare yourself from watching this 24-episode show. It is a massive disappointment and it's a show that confuses itself.
