Instead of having you transferred to another world begin your adventure of survival, how about just do it from real life? That is exactly what this anime is about.
The story begins when the main protagonist downloads an app that happens to turn a whole society into a battle zone. The app or organization can somehow manipulate people’s thinking, turn an in-game coin into a real-world functional currency system, and it can somehow maintain order to a society when you are literally been put into a deathmatch. Unless the later episodes explain these rules that it has been set up, for all those people that
gave 7,8,9 or even 10 for this anime, you are overrating this trash.
The characters are straight-up one dimensional. The main protagonist goes along with the game without even questioning who is behind it. He doesn’t even think twice about trying to find the person behind this stupid game and just thinks about survival. The anime would have been a lot more interesting if they just simply had their main character being a little smarter. The “Queen” is another trash character that falls for the main protagonist in the first episode because why not? The anime needs some waifus. No need to write about other characters because they are trash.
I hate this show. I didn’t enjoy a single minute after a decent start with the first episode. Again, the anime would have been a lot more interesting if they dig deeper into the function of the society under this game or organization. In anyhow, this anime is trash.
Score: 1/10

Vinland Saga is not about Vikings savagely hammering at each other. It’s a story about what life is really like living in an era of Vikings. We get to explore these aspects through characters such as Thorfinn and Askeladd. Though, you still get some good old bloody battles.
The story of this show can be about Revenge, Survival, or conflict between different states. But, the main storyline is about Thorfinn travel to this land called Vinland and establish that land where there will be no war, slavery, or constant violence.
Story: 7/10
I’m going to focus on two characters this season. The most complex and arguably
the best character of this prologue is Askeladd. This guy doesn’t give a shit about others. In order to survive in the era of Vikings, you have to be ruthless. He doesn’t hesitate when it comes to survival. That is why he is willing to massacre an entire village in order to survive. In his eyes, if you don’t have food, and the ability to defend yourself, you are useless. In a way, he believes by killing the villagers is an act of saving them since they don’t have to worry about food. His thinking is justifiable given the context of the series. When he says that he doesn’t give a crap about his men, it further enhances his character. But, he does care for people that in his eyes are important. It’s just that he doesn’t often show it. The prime example is when he advised Thorfinn to give up the life of being a warrior and go to Vinland. He wants him to escape from the Vikings society. The second example is when Askeladd killed the kind loving father figure of Canute. He did this so Canute can transform in the ruler that he knows Canute can be. The third and arguably the best example is when he killed his friend Bjorn.
The second and the main character of this series is Thorfinn. At the beginning of this show, Thorffin gets to see the real world of the Vikings. He saw his father as an honorable and feared warrior, and he wants to be like him. Of course, he is still a child. He hasn't experienced the life of being a warrior. Thus, he doesn’t consider what his father meant when his father told him “You have no enemies. There is no one you need to hurt”. After his father died, Thorfinn goes into this predictable revenge character. This is nothing new. But what really made Thorfinn a great character is his progression after this season’s arc. I’m not going to spoil anything, but I highly recommend that you read the manga. We get to see his life after this season, and characters that he encounters that haunts his past. His character development is great.
Characters: 8/10
This show is one of those rare shows that gets overlooked by many people. This type of show is great because it tackles these realistic topics in a believable way. The author really wanted to craft something special, and you can tell.
Enjoyment: 9/10
Wit Studio’s adaptations are great. They put great details into their animations, and they faithfully adapted the manga. The most memorable previous works such as Attack on Titan.
Art: 10/10
Overall, Vinland Saga is a great show, and the manga is even better. If you love this show, then do yourself a favor. Read the manga.
Overall: 8.5/10

Everyone’s expectations for this movie were high, my self-included. That is to be expected after Kimi no Na wa’s success. I believe this movie is a great film to watch if people would just watch as a movie without comparing it to a universally beloved Kimi no Na wa. It’s certainly not as great as Kimi no Na wa, but it’s not bad either. The story and its characters are what dragged this movie down, but the movie makes it up with sequences that provided the emotional weight that was needed.
The story pretty damn slow-paced at the
beginning of this movie. It is one of those stories that is meh. I say this because it really has nothing to hook the audience. I was just sitting in the theater eagerly waiting for something to happen. So, one of the two main lead of this movie Hodaka ran away from home to come to Tokyo. Obviously, he has barely enough money to even buy some food for a few days. So, he found this small publishing job that provides him shelter, food, and basic needs. He barely gets paid. Then he encounters the second main lead Hina that lives with her little brother at an apartment after her mother died. She has the power to stop the rain. They both use her power to make money. The story doesn’t pick up its pace until they are been chased by the police. In this section of the movie, we found out that Hina is 15. Not almost 18. She lied so she can live together with her brother, and to make money. The police were after her because she is a minor, and needs to be taken to foster care or something. The police were after Hodaka because they thought he tried to kill someone with a gun. Even though, the bullet was a fake. From this point onwards the story was in a much better place because things were actually happening.
Story: 6/10
The main characters are really interesting to watch when they are both on screen. Their discovery of each other’s love was heavily influenced through their bond and the eager to survive by themselves. The movie didn’t take much time to develop its main characters. So, I just couldn’t get behind the main male lead. The one and the only thing that I could latch on to was Hina when she was starting to fade away. I really would have felt something if the movie would just show the struggle that Hina has to through taking care of her little brother and staying at a job long enough for financial support. As we all know, living in Tokyo is expensive, so the fact that she was fired from multiple jobs, and was still making enough money to support her living was unrealistic.
Characters: 7/10
As we all expected from Makoto Shinkai’s latest film, the top-notch animation. This movie is gorgeous. There are thousands of scenes that can be analyzed and praised for. Such as close shot of raindrops, clouds, bright sunshine, birds-eye view of Tokyo and so on. You can clearly tell that Makoto Shinkai put more effort into his animation and art than the actual characters and stories of his movies. Due to that, there are scenes that provided the emotional weight that was desperately needed.
Art: 10/10
I really started to enjoy this film towards the end of this movie. Again, it’s because the pacing was much better, and the beautiful animation scenes that provided the emotions.

Boku no Hero Academia is a simple and predictable shonen anime. Boku no Hero Academia for the fourth season in a role brings the same plot points from the previous three seasons. It’s pointless. In this season, Midoriya encounters a villain that uses a child for benefits. Apparently, that child has some special quirks that can be used to create a “bullet” that temporarily messes with another Hero’s quirks. So, you guessed it, the plot is now to rescue the child because they are HEROS. The same thing happens in season 3. Villains capture Bakugou and their intention is to have him join
them to destroy the Heros and its society. Of course, the heroes rescued him eventually. In season 1, the villains directly come to the Academy to kill the Heros in the hope to start their plan to destroy the society. In season 2…. I forgot. I guess what I want to say is this anime series is forgettable trash when it comes to storytelling.
Story: 4/10
If you have seen all three seasons, then you probably noticed the trend here. This anime focuses on one or two-character per season. When I post this review, I have watched 10 episodes. In this season, we see the character’s back story and development of Kirishima. Not gonna lie, this is the best of the anime. In season 2, it was Todoroki, season 3, it was Bakugou. For me, it works. Though, the anime doesn’t continue the further development of its characters. After, they finished Bakugou and Todoroki’s character arcs they forgot about it. The anime left them on the sidelines. Thus, they became again uninteresting. As of the main character Midoriya...I don’t feel a thing. He’s just an average protagonist that we have seen countless times. I don’t even want to get into his motivations, personalities and character traits. It’s pointless.
Edit: As of Episode 14, Nighteye dies. (I laughed the whole way through that scene.) Everyone including Midoriya was crying their eyes out. I'm sorry, but I didn't feel a goddamn thing! This anime is trying so hard to make you care, but it just landed flat.
Character: 4/10
This anime is really enjoyable to watch when you are in the moment. Largely due to this anime’s fight scenes and they are the best. That is because of each character’s back story and their motivations are revealed right before the fights. After that, you forgot about it. Lastly, the pacing of this anime is terrible. We start the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season with an episode recap. I really don’t understand why they feel urgent for a recap episode of the previous season. Especially, when we have watched the previous seasons. Then, they have to start developing the story for the current season from episode 2 to episode 7. This really messes with the pacing of this anime, and it tests my patience. Whenever an anime test a viewer’s patience, it’s a clear sign of a problem.
Enjoyment: 5/10
Overall, this anime series has lots of problems with pacing, characters and story beats. But. it is enjoyable to watch when you are in the moment.

Fire Force is a disappointment. This show had the potential to achieve greater in Story, Characters, and world-building. Instead, this show went for the lazy route. Due to poor writing in dialogues, confusing plotlines, and blend characters tanked this show.
The story, I honestly don’t know where to start because this show crammed so many storylines in a single shot. I believe the main storyline is about a plague that has caused people to turn into these destructive creatures called Infernals. These infernals are supposed to be a threat to society and bring death and blah blah blah. But,
we never really get to see how destructive these Infernals can be. The only time that I could remember was an intelligent infernal that attacked a city. Still, the infernal only threw a car at someone, and….screamed it’s lungs out…... and said a few cheezy lines like an average villain would say. Later, it’s revealed that there is an organization (I forgot the name of the organization...and I don’t care to look up) that wants to turn every human being into infernals. But, they are in the early stage of the experiment. The way they turn people into an infernal is to press a small glass jar containing the infernal bug on a person. Hoping that a person adapts to its power and survive. Does that bug eat into the human flesh? I.... don’t know…..because this show never bothered to explain how these things work. This is one of many examples of mechanics that exist in this world that doesn’t make any sense. I think the most prominent example is how characters such as Hibana can summon a tree-structured power from the ground, and that power happens to be super powerful in one scene. But, weak in another scene. The main story then gets pushed aside to introduce some more trash characters, and we have to follow their story.
Story: 2/10
Characters of this show are thinly developed. Supporting characters are just in the show to make idiotic scenes. Nothing more. The main character of this show is better than the supporting characters. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO PRAISE ABOUT. Shinra is like your average protagonist that has the motivation of avenging/keeping the promise of protecting his mother. At a young age, Shinra pledged to use his power to protect his mother from infernals and from her turning into an infernal. But, his mother turned into an infernal anyway and killed his little brother. Then, he found out that his little brother is alive. But, just like your average brother conflict that we have seen a thousand times. The little brother is the antagonist of the protagonist and the protagonist is going to save his little brother. Blah blah blah. I want to talk about betrayals. Specifically character betrayals in this show. A good show would take it’s time to develop its characters and provide hints to show their eventual betrayal. A good show does this so everything could make sense at the end. In this show, the betrayal from a fire force member of the first team, and a girl that worked with an inventor came out of nowhere. (I don’t care about their names at this point) These two characters got no hint or foreshadowing, or even a short scene that would have directed to their betrayals. It was revealed for simple shock values. But, I guess it worked.
Characters: 3/10
I was hoping that this show would be something unique. It has the appeal of fantasy and a fascinating world. The fact that people can fly by manipulating firepower was the reason I decided to watch the show in the first place. I loved the universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Water, Earth, Fire, and Air had its own unique Asian inspired culture. But, the Fire Nation by far was the most appealing aspect to me. However, the show focused on characters, story, and world-building before providing action scenes. I was hoping that this show would focus more on its world-building, and characters instead of cheezy and generic shonen action anime that we have seen a thousand times. But, as I continue to watch this show, I realized that this is just another super packed action anime with no substance.
Enjoyment: 2/10
The art is fine.

- The story is average like your generall action/monster hunting anime with a theme about family bonding and etc. Nothing outstanding.
- The art style is fine. Except for episode 19's Epic fight scene.
-The sound is again fine.
-Characters. In my opinion, the main characters are boring. None of them stand out to me. Tanjiro is just another average protagonist that wants to protect everyone, and get his sister to turn back into a human. Inosuke is a hot-headed person that tries to be cool and all but can be genuine to people around him. Zenitsu is one of those annoying protagonists that happens to be
super powerful. (Again, very mediocre). Finally, Nezuko is the main protagonist sister that happens to be very cute to grab the viewer's attention whenever she is on screen. AND She is a badass.
-My enjoyment before episode 19 was fine. I didn't like it or hate it. When Episode 19 came out, I thought I was starting to like the show. The episode had incredible music, art, fight scene and message behind it. However, after episode 19, the anime sucked (for me at least). From episode 20 to 26, all we got is a bunch of pillars and the main characters' training/recovering from episode 19 fights. It was so cheap. None of the pillars got significant screen time from those episodes. The anime even spent a whole episode on Tanjiro and Pillars talking/fighting (barely fighting) in front of Pillars's mansion! What a waste of money.
- My point is that this anime does not deserve the praise its been getting. If you like this anime, good for you. If you hate it or don't like it and you think this anime is overhyped, I agree with you.
