The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated into Another World as an Aristocrat is an isekai that’s centered around an old, about-to-be-retired assassin who gets himself killed by the very “organization” he was loyal to during his final mission. Just before he was destined to die, he was reincarnated and placed in front of a god, which the entity tasked him to slay the hero of her realm. As it’s said by the entity herself, if the hero wasn’t slain, the hero would bring destruction and annihilation upon the world in which he saved.

Well, that would have been the plot of the ...

The original premise of Mushoku Tensei that captivated an audience was the idea that a person can live a life that is fulfilling. A life where they can reflect on their past and change for the better. In a way, I wanted to witness that aspect of it. But for a person to change and grow, there’s a need for the right environment to stimulate that personal growth. Henceforth, I praised the slice-of-life aspect of Mushoku Tensei Part 1–a part where there were people such as Rudeus’ parents despite being flawed themselves.

However, I feel like that original concept was completely disregarded towards the conclusion ...

Mieruko-chan (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Even though Mieruko-Chan labeled itself as a horror anime, the series itself was never about horror. It’s more about you watching Miko, the protagonist, doing her best to not give out any sort of reactions to the horrific-looking spirits that happen to exist and only people like Miko can witness. And that’s where the entertainment really lies. This show, Mieruko-Chan, instead of keeping its viewers constantly at the edge of their seats and anticipating the next jump-scare, it’s more about following the daily life moments of someone who can see these hideous spirits and not lose sanity. These creatures were supposed to be presented to ...

To say I was going into the 5th season of My Hero Academia with high expectations would be an understatement. Even though I’m not a My Hero Academia enthusiast or even a fan for that matter, I can wholeheartedly say that this season of My Hero Academia was supposed to be the series game-changer and tone shifter. The 5th season was supposed to set My Hero Academia in a new and more compelling direction. A direction that would’ve brought My Hero Academia’s writing to a new height because of the fascinating and enchanting thematic value that it has to offer. As the egregious season has ...

I went into Tokoyo Revengers for the delinquents. I wanted to see the intricacies and inner perspectives of being a gang member. I wanted to see how they think and operate. Well, it’s safe to say that I only got crumbs of it. Instead, what I got from this anime is about a 26-year-old man in the body of a middle school kid running around crying and whining about his incapabilities and lamenting for a girl he dumped long ago. To that, I couldn’t care less.

Welcome to Tokyo Revengers. A 26-year-old who got his life fucked up from his times of being a delinquent ...

Vampires. A fascinating group of creatures generally depicted as merciless monsters across many works of literature of its existence. Their conventional roles in a story are either misunderstood and victimized, or they’re straight-up one-dimensional adversaries--a hurdle for the hero to get through. And The Case Study of Vanitas is no exception--the series follows the conventional flow of writing.

Set in 19th century Paris, the story follows a vampire and a human doctor that goes around the city to cure the recent phenomenon that corrupts vampires. A phenomenon is known as the “Curse Bearer.” Once the phenomenon corrupts its target, the victim loses all sense of ...

This anime is not good. Higehiro tries to deceive its viewers by presenting itself as a more mature, well-researched, and well written by having some serious approach to pedophilia, rape, sexual harassment, and child abuse in anime. Yet, the anime also contradicts itself by neglecting the very same thing. I find it extremely baffling that the anime gets away with its hypocritical depiction of these elements.

Now, let me explain: To start off, Higehiro tries to showcase the trauma and tragedy that Sayu suffered from her days as a runaway on numerous occasions. The anime deliberately went out of its way to show flashbacks of ...

Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro or Nagatoro for short, is the latest installment in a pack of narcissistic girls “teasing” an anti-social, awkward degenerate boy. The whole premise and the comedy revolve around Hayase, the main girl, “jokingly” bullying her upperclassman: Naoto. Hayase is teasing Naoto because that’s the only method for her to show affection to him. Now, this type of comedy-romance isn’t anything new. When done right, it can be wholesome, cute, and enjoyable. The prime example that I can immediately think of is Teasing Master Takagi-san that aired a few years back. But Nagatoro isn’t wholesome, cute, or enjoyable. Contrary to ...

Horimiya (Anime) add
Horimiya is another slice-of-life, comedy, rom-com romance anime that failed to produce anything significant after the first four episodes. While the series initially tried to stand out by subvert expectations, it ultimately went back to the generic and cliche form.

Hori, the main female lead, and Miyamura, the main male lead, discovered each others’ ‘another’ personality after a fateful encounter. Hori was initially perceived to be a popular girl in school with a shitty personality, but she’s actually a kind girl and has house duties because her parents were not always home. Miyamura was perceived to be an anti-social otaku, but he’s actually the ...

Black Clover (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Black Clover is not for everyone, I’ll admit. It’s the trashiest to mid-tier Shounen series out there that manages to gravitate to a certain group of viewers with its cliches, tropes, and generic power fantasy. It lacks anything substantial or impactful. It doesn’t reinvent the Shounen wheel or elevates it. It’s a lackluster written series that exists purely for entertainment for people like me--who self indulges in battle shounen without a second thought--even if it’s the same type of blueprint that I’ve seen before, but with its own modifications. Thus, I don’t have any hate or resentment directed towards this controversial series. I simply can’t. ...
