Am going to be watching all of the monogatari series so am gonna try to review each season if I feel like it

One word to describe this anime is "Different". With all the different types of anime's I have seen, this one is the most unique. With this show, you need to pay attention or you will probably miss something important. This anime doesn't use background characters. It is just the main and supporting characters, nobody else. Its basically just a world with main and supporting character. When you watch it feels very empty like nobody exist expect for the main and supporting characters. ... The story is very complex and difficult to explain without spoiling anything.

Writing this review is very difficult. This is such a unique anime that I really don't know how to put my thoughts together and explain it properly. I will be writing about the other Monogatari series so I hope my reviews get better so that I can explain this series much better.

Highly recommend

I can see why people hate this show but I actually enjoyed it. Of course this show was definitely not perfect. It had many problems. Minor spoilers if you haven't seen it.

One of the problems was the animation. I didn't like that they used CGI for all the monsters, it just made them look all weird and not intimidating. I did like the character designs so I will give them props for that.

The second is how it started. I have read the first light novel and will be reading the rest soon, but how the show started was much different from the light novel. They ... didn't add new content to the anime that they light novel didn't have, its that the anime started when they were in the new world and that not how the light novel started. Light novel started with them at there school, anime really doesn't show anything about them being in school and I think they shouldn't have done that.

What I did like about this show is the story. That is what made the show watchable for me. If it wasn't for the story, I probably would have drop it a long time ago. They story is interesting, its not like every Isekai out there.

If you have trouble with animation not being that good then you shouldn't watch this anime. If you like a good story even if it is a bit jumble up then you should definitely check out this anime

There really isn't much to say about this anime except for 2 things

If your looking for an anime with a good plot, this anime is not for you because there really isn't any plot. If your looking for anime that has cute and funny moments then this one is just for you.

Second thing is the art. That is what made me watch it. I really do like this art style. I don't find a flaw with the art. The art style made all the characters look adorable and made the scenery look beautiful.

I would give this anime a 7/10

This show is fantastic. This anime is a original, with no source material (expect Death Billiards which is a 25 minute original movie which they continued on) Madhouse did a amazing job in making it. The op they did for this show is amazing.

What's interesting about this anime is the concept of death. 2 people come out the elevator who have died at the same time. They do not know they are dead and think they are still alive. They are told to play a game with there lives at stake. They think losing means death and that creates interesting situations in each episode.

I wish ... there were more episodes. They could do so much more with this show.


9/10 Highly recommend

What a great anime. Highly recommend to watch it if you haven't.
Hyouka=Ice cream. You will understand what that means when you check out the show, now onto the review

Story: It starts off with Oreki, one of the main characters gets a letter for his sister to join the classic club to save it from getting terminated. He does that and meets a girl in there. He talks to the girl and ask how she got in since it was lock from the outside. That's when the mystery solving begins.

Art: The art is amazing. That is what caught my attention. It was made 7 years ago, ... and the art in this anime is much better then some of anime's being release in 2019. Love it

Sound: The music was Amazing as well. The eeriness to some of the music went perfect with the anime. When they were solving a mystery or mess up the eerie music came in perfectly and made the scene a lot better.

Character: The 4 main characters are Oreki, Chitanda, Fukube, and Ibara. Oreki is calm and the one mostly solving the mysteries. I don't got that much to say about him.
Chitanda is the one curious about all these mysteries happening in the school and makes Oreki solve them. Her curiosity does get a little bit annoying at times but she is a very adorable character and you really cant hate her.
Fukube is the best friend of Oreki. At the beginning he making jokes and messing around but once you get further into the anime you can see his character change. He gets more serious about solving the mysteries but he cant solve them and because of that he gets jealous of Oreki since he is the one solving all of them. Nothing happens with there friendship but you can see the jealous further down the anime.
The last one Ibara. She seems like a person that is very strong with her interactions with Oreki and Fukube but she is a weak person. She is strong when she interacts with the other 3 main characters but when it comes to other characters she is weak.

Enjoyment: I enjoy this show very much. The beginning of the show was very entertaining when they were trying to solve there first big mystery. Then is does get a little boring in the middle of the show but after the few episodes that I found boring it becomes very entertaining again.

Overall this show is great. This is another anime I would recommend if you haven't watch it.

Its 6am and just finish binged watching all of Toradora. This a great anime and highly recommend. Didn't expect to like this anime this much. This review might have mistakes because its 6am and haven't gone to sleep so just a heads up when you read this.

The first couple of episodes I felt it was slow and really didn't catch my attention but after the first four episodes I was hook. It's an anime I just had to watch straight through to find out what was going to happen in the next episode.

The reason I don't give it a ten is two things. ... The first one was the beginning, I thought it was slow and it didn't catch my attention until the fifth episode. The second reason is the character Minori. I really couldn't stand her character, she really annoyed me and made some of the scenes awkward. I has able to bear her character the last 2 episodes but throughout the show she just bothered me with her fakeness. Ami is a character like Minori that fakes her personality but Ami shows her true personality much more without hesitation and I am not annoyed by that.


So overall this show was a 9 and highly recommend.

This is my first review and will just be about what I didn't like about this show and why I drop it.

I am a fan of Isekai animes, and when this one came out I had high hopes for it cause it was somewhat different from the other isekai animes coming out right now, but I was disappointed.

The plot is the main character goes into a video game and the mom comes along without the main character knowing, this interest me because it was different from other isekai animes, but once I kept watching this show, it just went downhill. There really isn't any ... plot, they just go around fixing other parents problems and doing stupid quest that does nothing for the story. That's one of the problems I have with the show, there is no plot to it.
Another problem is the characters, all the moms in the show are op for some reason. The main characters fight the op mom to fix there relationship with there child. I have no clue how fighting a mom will fix there relationship with there child but it does somehow. The main character, Masato, doesn't do anything for the show, his mom just fights the other op moms and wins. All he does for the show is to show how nice his mom is, nothing else. I have a few problems with the mom, like how she happens and join in everything that Masato does, and how clingy she is to him. The other two main characters have no point in the show, they could disappear the next episode and nobody would notice.

Overall I would give this show a 4. Had hopes for this show but was disappointed.
