Sport, a pair of father and daughter and a NINJA - you will get probably the best cult anime in making.

Taisou Zamurai isn't only about sports, there are a lot of Slice of Life moments that you can't help but connect.



Story : 8/10

Still early in 4th episode, Taisou Zamurai already laid down a good foundation for a good ORGINAL anime. A struggling athlete (Jotaro) with his daughter (Rei) and a Mysterious ninja (Leo) who just want to see Jotaro in gymnastic court again certainly grabbed my full attention.

A nice story in making and I can say even closing my eyes that Taisou Zamurai is a ... very good anime.

MAPPA again, doing Jujitsu Kaisen in same season, doing great job. Character design is not very fancy, yet goes very well with flow of the story. Animation quality is pretty good. It could have been better, but I am not complaining since I can guess this one is done by secondary staff. But they did a great job.



Characters : 9/10

I just loved Leo. He is probably the best NEW character in Fall 2020. He is funny, kind and very much NINJA.

Other then Leo, Rei is really a sweetheart. She is a perfect daughter even I am wishing for. (BTW I am not married 😜)

The protagonist isn't unique, but all supporting character really make him shine which is very enjoyable to watch.



Sound : 8/10

The ending is one of the GEM from this season. Really a COOL song to end every episode. Background music is OK.


Enjoyment : 9/10

I am really enjoying this. Lots of real life moments, Leo's funny antics and sports drama... this show is really going for me. Anyone who wants to see a good anime which isn't mainstream, should must watch this.

* MAL score should be much high then it is now (6.69 as of 01.11.20) *

As a newbie in Dragon Quest universe, I can undoubtedly say that even if this series run for 100+ weeks, I will stick with it.

Dragon Quest (2020) is your typical shounen action anime, but this reboot is absolutely beautiful. This one is also amazing treat for eyes for its clever and well executed cg.



Story : 7/10

The anime has slow first arc, but interesting one. Dragon Quest's world building isn't very different from average shounen, but since it's source is old, no complain about that. But I can easily guess story will be good in future as early signs are showing.

...

Art : 9/10

As I mentioned before, I am a new Dragon Quest fan, but from 1st episode, I am really hooked up with the anime. This one has beautiful art and animation to offer. I have seen this high quality CG uses, and beautiful CG uses in very few anime.

I think for ART alone, this show worth a shot.



Characters : 7/10

Characters are OK at the moment (Ep 5), nothing noteworthy. Every character has typically shounen vibe. But I can hope Dai's character development will be something to look forward to. And as story moves forward, more cheerful characters will come.


Sound : 7/10

Well this show doesn't have best opening or ending, but both of them goes pretty well with the anime. Background music is also OK.



Voice acting : 6/10

As much as I am impressed by art and action scenes, I am kinda disappointed with va. But I can forgive it since the show is still very early stage. But I hope overall va improve. Well I am not saying va is bad, they can be improved.



Enjoyment : 9/10

I have many issues with the anime, but one thing is fixed - I am very much enjoying it. Every episode is full with actions. There are a lot of cg uses in fight, but they only improve overall performance. I can easily say that I will wait every week for one new episode. I haven't watched original version of this 2020 version, but I can say it really entertaining me.

This show somehow feels very nostalgic. Every episode feels like fresh teenage breath that only brings good memories.

Noblesse is definitely the best Manhwa adaptions comparing to ToG, GoHS.

Let's be honest, this adaptions is really good. Many of you might point out slow pacing, but I is quite enjoyable compared to rushed GoHS adaption.

Let me tell you why.


Story :

You have to watch an OVA to watch Noblesse. If you watched that ova, then you can get starting of episode 1. Story is slow burning, but they almost didn't cut out best parts out of Manhwa. I have already read about 400+ chapters of manhwa and believe me adaption is very much on par with manhwa.
...

Art :

Out of three big manhwa, GoHS has beautiful art. But for me Noblesse's art is more complete than others. Character design is also very good. Especially Rai, beautifully done.


Characters :

I am truly amazed by production IG's dedication to build up character interactions. They did absolutely brilliant job to build up M-21 as a solid character. Since, M-21 as well as Tao, Takio is side characters, yet beautifully done; you can easily guess they are going to invest more on Frankenstein and Rai.

If you want to know how those characters are, almost all of them are likeable. They have some cute waifu also. So, no complain from me.


Sound :

OP/Ed or background music isn't extraordinary, but they fits in with the anime.



Enjoyment :

There is a lot of build up in the beginning, but you can easily guess Noblesse is always going to be more action oriented than story telling. Yet first couple of episodes, then have done good job with the story, now I can easily guess more and more actions are coming.

Even though there aren't lots of actions yet (Ep 04), Noblesse is still enjoyable for its art and very much on spot comedic moments.

Episode 01 : 7

Episode 02 : 7

Episode 03 : 7

Overall : 7/10, (till episode 04)

... and I know score will rise.

Probably the best anime that explains games, not take you into the game like SAO. Quanzhi Gaoshou 2 one is really unique anime based on eSports and pro players life.

It is in chinese, but you might enjoy your time for its cool atmosphere setting and funny comedic scenes.


Story : 7/10

There is a slow burning story. Former no 1 Player of GLORY Ye Xiu, continue his journey to come back as a pro player. But this time he has a lots of enemies to face. His former team Excellent Dynasty is also becoming his foe, but he tackle them with his funny evil plans.

If ... I have to rate story, this anime doesn’t have great story. But I think QG 2 offer more action then story.


Art : 9/10

Characters design is very good compared to other Chinese anime. Animation quality is also good. This season also have clever uses of CG. But they are very beautiful to watch. Imo, the art style really suit this anime premise, thus making it enjoyable.


Characters : 7/10

Well tbh, Chinese names are very hard for me to memorize. So I am not too connected with characters. But it is also truth that they made side characters in a way that only enhance mc. So, I don’t think you need to know every characters, as this season also perfectly ensure that you will also keep adventuring with the protagonist.


Sound : 8/10

Opening and specially ending is good. Background music is also very cool and goes with anime very much.


Enjoyment : 9/10

Well tbh I always look forward for next week to watch another action packed episod. If you are a an game themed action anime lover, then this season will definitely for you.

There are a lots of action and lots of laugh. So, I personally think if you prefer non-story heavy, action packed anime, QG 2 is a perfect match for you.


Rating :

Episodic : 8.25

MAL : 8/10

This anime surely justify its MAL rating BEING ABOVE 8.0

This one is seriously THE hidden gem of this season. And it was really a joyride from episode 1 to 12.

Plot synopsis is already given. So, let me tell you what this one will be offering.


Story : 7/10

First episode was very good. There was a hit of a story building around battle against system, but episode 2 just take the story towards another direction. By the end of episode 5, Akudama Drive really developed a good story with lots of mysterious questions surrounding them.

And then real story starts to unfold one by one. By the end of your journey, you will definitely feel ... overwhelmed by lots of actions, lovable characters, fanatic characters and just your average not so cool character proving their worth.


Art : 9/10

I wasn't expecting anything from this anime. Thought it will be another 6-7 rated anime. But, the art is really exceptional. By the end of episode 1, I was thinking of episode 2 already.

Characters design, direction is top notched. Especially in Ep 4, there was a great chance to take on director's exceptional talent by one frame change, after episodic info guide. That was really good.


Characters : 9/10

Tbh no character is boring in this anime, at least to me. Every character is really likable from friends to foe. Their not so friendly, yet bond is truly enjoyable. Every character has his/her own traits and they always shines on their own ground.


Voice Acting : 8/10

Voice acting is really well documented in this anime. Sakura-San really proved to be a good va. But two female characters va is also good. Emotions are well captured by almost every va
throughout the season.


Enjoyment : 10/10

If you want some fast going action to action anime, this one is really your pick. This one really offer something not so original, yet refreshing take, yet this one will certainly entertain you more than action anime offered in Fall 2020 i.e. DanMachi 3 or Mahouka Koukou 2.


Rating :

Episodic : 8.5

MAL : 9.0


I think the score should be higher then 7.83 (as of 27.12.2020)

This one was my first Chinese ONA that I have watched. So, I will give you honest opinion of mine.

Positive points :

🏅 There are a lot of well executed action scenes in almost every episodes

🏅 Very good animation quality in comparison of other Chinese ONA (currently I am watching Soul Land too, So I can say easily that all Chinese almost like Soul Land. And Quanzhi Gaoshou is almost like most of anime)

🏅 Very wll executed CG. Other Chinese ONA looks like meh... Compared to Quanzhi Gaoshou

...
Negative Points :

⛔ Real appealing story isn't there

⛔ Characters aren't that much connecting. Sometimes confusing.

⛔ Characters names are also quite confusing for me to understand

Maybe I am selfish for last negative points. But here my final rating.

Score : 7/10

SPOILER ALERT!!! 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

Before I start reviewing this anime, I have to tell every one of Madrista, this one is pure bait. If you are a Real Madrid fan, at the end of the anime - specifically ep 38 & 39, you will just wanna kill the mangaka for sure. He absolutely 100% a Barca fan (I DON'T have any problem with that) and he never fails to downplay Real.

NOW THE REVIEW :
(Note : I am pissed of at the end of the series because of BAD Barca fan-service)

Story : 6/10

Basically if you want to watch a binge worth fun anime, this one is ... a very good one. Story is kinda straight forward and not that much on footballing term. At the end of the story, this series is kinda ruin because of writers trash story end, which is completely devoted to make Barcelona looks greater than Real Madrid, plus establishing Messi as a god and making CR7 just another footballer. For this foolishness, the end of the story is seriously bad fot previous 36 episodes worth build up.



Art: 8/10

I will give its a 8 because of Reika. Why? Just watch her development. Only her 'after' develop cute look, I fallen for her. If only real people exists!!!



Sound : 9/10

Both opening and ending song is great, especially ending one. Background score is pretty good and consistent throughout.



Characters : 7/10

Characters are overall good, especially furuya brothers. But there wasn't any rootable character throughout. Erika was most annoying, Shu seems like stupid most of the time and a coach who was inspiring at first, yet become a clowns 🤡 at last couple of episodes.



Enjoyment : 7/10

As a football loving person, this one is another failing attempt to make a good football anime. But I can't deny that there were some moments which I really enjoyed. But this wasn't constant and other than that - only once it made me angry because of last 2 episodes storytelling.


Overall : 7/10

I was thinking giving it an 8/10, but because of last two episodes which are fully devoted to insulting Real Madrid and its players, I give it 7/10.

At the end I can say that, many fans tells me that it's a underrated anime. I am agree with them on 40% basis. The Mal score should be around 7.4-7.5 for this anime. But because of last two episodes, I can't level it as a truly underrated anime which deserves more love than it got.

People says Code Breaker is a poor adaptatio, since I didn’tread the manga I will Judge it purely based on anime.

Code Breaker isn’t a masterpiece or not even very good show. Yet I can surely say it has tremendous potential.

The start was great. But by the second episode, I become very annoyed by leading female character Sakura. She is so annoying that it almost killed my will to watch the show. If the lead Ogami was +ve charge, Sakura was -ve charge. As a result the show was almost going for a big Zero. UNTILL...

The premise of the show isn’t good enough to make ... you glued to screen. But aftet episode 8/9 the show Start becoming more engaging.

Supporting characters are good and had better impact that annoying lead female Sakura. But for me the best character was The man who played the villain : Hitomi.

Hitomi wasn’t exciting untill very last 2 episodes, but I have to say he make the show not turning a disaster just like the OPM 2 Goru. Hitomi's background is interesting, he is a cool character overall.

Overall this show is a 7/10, just because of last two episode's Hitomi's performance. If not Hitomi show would have been a 5/6 out of 10.

Show isn’t that bad as MAL score suggest, but isn’t great either. If the silly Sakura was replaced by a good female lead, it might turn to be a great one for me.

The cliffhanger looks appealing and I might try the manga as it is a finished product.

This piece of pure, exciting and truly not-so-unique, yet good take on delinquent comedy truly deserves 10/10.


Story : 7/10

This anime didn't have best of story, but it delivers a better taking on delinquency of high school boys with two new transfer student. Both of them met day before school debut with an aim to become full delinquent. And after that by many comedic scenes, they both become very well know in there area.

As a result everyday comes with new challenges. They met friends and foe, with love angels and entertain us with comedy and friendship. Though if you take Mitsuhashi as a friend, you are ... done. Not believing me, just ask Imai from Beni High.


Art : 8/10

Since this show is a '90s, art aren't like todays, but perfectly fits for enjoyment. This show have one thing that every comedy anime must have - comedic expressions. And when I say expressions belive me. From episode 1 to 10, you will be entertained with good art and funny faces.


Characters : 10/10

If I had more than 10 fav characters option in MAL free account, Mitsuhashi would have been one of them. He is fun. He plays dirty - when I say dirty it's really dirty. But it's all for the win. He is one hell of a idiot with tsundre type caring heart.

Then come Itou to complement Mitsuhashi. Itou is kinda pure hearted delinquent who love to fight fair. He has a girl to make Mitsuhashi jealous when our idiot didn't even understand he also (nearly) has one. Itou is a good character to brought Mitsuhashi full throttle. This duo cannot be complete without anyone's absence.

And then comes Beni high boss Imai and his sidekick Tanigawa. Imai always chase Mitsuhashi and bring lots of funny situations where he always dance under Mitsuhashi's thumb.

There are other good characters also. But I have to say if Mitsuhashi's heroine Riko had more role to play, then it would have been very satisfying.

Enjoyment : 10/10

I always want good things to stay forever. When I was in ep 9 and remember that it will finish in ep 10, I was disheartened. You can understand how great an comedy centric anime it is, when you just want to just wish to watch it forever.

Overall : 10/10

It is a great anime which deserves 10/10. Period.

My review : #01

I never tried to write a review. But after watching this show, I think I just should make some noise so that many idiots take note of their idiotic fan wars.

I have seen many war between jojo fans and other anime fans and jojo fans are always saying how cool this anime is. FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!

THIS ANIME IS SIMPLY TRASH.

No hint of character improvement, no enjoyment of comedic moments (every so called comedic moments seems like forced), no likeable characters and of course NO FUCKING STORY at all.

... How TRASH an anime can be?

I have always rated every anime more than they deserve, cause I know how hard work they put to give us just only 1 episode. Yet I couldn't bring give jojo 1/10 because of how really bad it is.

Some bad notes after watching jojo-

- Most of the episodes consists still pictures

- No likeable characters

- No sense of reality at all

- Story seems to like drag and drag

- Why so MACHO man - this kind of junk don't work nowadays


So at the end I just couldn't bring me to love after watching (or wasting) 26 Ep worth time. I paused watching KYOU KARA ORE WA to finish Jojo, but I am now regretting. Man that 90's piece is epic after watching only 2 Ep compared to Jojo.

Jojo Suck.
