Ah, Japan! What to think about its cultural beauties? This time pottery is the main theme of another honest and simple show, but one that deserves attention and care
Himeno is the character that plays the key role in the construction and the sample of the show. The protagonist has an interesting past with ceramics. In fact, her mother is the cause of this. She was an excellent artist in this profession, which requires concentration, creativity, and especially innovation. Himeno doesn't remember much of the past she had with her mother, not even with the ceramics she made. In fact, Himeno had a greater appreciation for
...
this art only at school, when she joined a club with Naruse, Mika-chan and Tooko. All of them together go on to build a strong relationship with ceramics, regardless of the reason they were convinced to be in this club.
Over time, the show creates an appropriate and simple ambiance, using elements such as scenery, contemplation, and colors that harmonize and cause an approximation with the audience. And it is the audience, that is, us, the main character of this show. Ceramics is a subject that is not appealing to everyone. In fact, many belittle even the ability of a show to do 12 episodes of this without being boring or repetitive.
Yakunara really has episodes that don't cause much interest in us, but it is a great show to show a small portion of Japanese quality. Like Olympia Kyklos and the more recent Mashiro no Oto, Yakunara aims to herald a new vision in the culture and consumption of new cultural experiences from its country or region. Of course, each anime has its own goal, Olympia for example focuses on Greece, while Mashiro no Oto tries to convey a new perspective on Eastern musicality. Yakunara shows a timid artistic manifestation, but at the same time it causes an interest to the public, from the moment the show does not take place entirely in a closed room, such as a club, but promotes actions such as walks in cities that have ceramics as a public representation in squares and sidewalks. It is a simple action, but one that makes this show a good company during the week.
However, along with these elements, the anime needs to sustain its quality in being an anime, but this is where the show loses some of its excitement. As I said before, the show has moments that don't matter much. Generally these are episodes that do not add to the relationship of the characters or do not convey a message or empathy to the audience. The show has a special attention in being simple, but at the same time it is necessary to have a special attention in its own execution in order not to seem like an unnecessary anime. The early episodes of the show don't draw as much, but it manages to sustain a theme that is better used in the future. But those same themes make the show "forget" for a while about the past and the interpretation of each of the characters with their perspective on pottery. Of course, Himeno has a very good moment when she makes a new piece of pottery for her father, but gets frustrated because she feels it didn't please him. But for the most part, the show fails to carry an absorption of these elements in a pleasing way and hurts its composition of episodes. The director and the person responsible for the script were good with their work, but it is a show that still needs to improve a lot if it has a sequel.
Even with these problems, I must applaud Yakunara Mug Cup mo. It was a really fun experience and I enjoyed every little moment. Nippon Animation is not a studio that usually brings out good things lately, but this show was a positive leap for the studio. It really is a title for the few, it won't convince everyone of its relevance. It is even more likely that people didn't even care about this title while it was being released during the last few months. However, Yakunara is a show that delivered what it wanted in a positive way, I must acknowledge.
The pottery may not interest you, but the friendships and small slice-of-life action may please you. If you haven't given this show a listen, please give it another try. You will find that it is more honest than most recent anime. No wonder Yakunara has a manga with many volumes, don't be a person who underestimates anime just for being simple. ;)

Learning about Japan's artistic cultures is always a wonderful experience. How many times do we come across anime and manga that use themes that are unusual in the Western, but that produce an essential meaning in this very rich country? This season, eyes were definitely on the most popular animes and that overshadowed some titles that could deliver much more than just 12 Episodes. Mashiro no Oto is one of those hidden and silent animes within the huge catalog of titles. That's bad for the show's visibility, but definitely its relevance, even if filtered by the few people who appreciate that kind of culture, is
...
more than pleasing, it's surprising.
Mashiro no Oto is basically a show involving an instrument and a melancholy story of Setsu, the protagonist. He lost his inspiration and his reason for existence, his grandfather. A gentleman known to everyone within the lovers of Shamisen, a stringed instrument. In Japan, Shamisen is like a guitar, however, if we go into the deeper culture of the country, it is possible to find records of the development and popularity of Shamisen as a very rich cultural artifact. Like any other instrument, Shamisen causes impact, emotion, sadness and freedom. In Mashiro no Oto, Setsu is the main catalyst and emitter of these varied emotions. He is young and having lost his grandfather recently shook him, so much so that he decided to flee to Tokyo, where his new life begins, in search of a "new sound", as the "sound" of a loved one disappeared before his eyes. eyes. At first, Mashiro no Oto honestly doesn't bring many predictions about what he really wants to tell. In fact, the anime deceives the audience. Until the first episode, you could see Setsu getting involved with Yuna, a girl who worked at an adult agency, but that's not exactly what happens. Of course, Yuna has her importance in Setsu's plot and development, she becomes a decisive factor in his resumption with Shamisen.
However, if we're going to define one that awakens Setsu at its peak, it's certainly his school's Club. Maeda is an inexperienced girl from the Club and was the only one until Setsu's arrival. Even though she doesn't have great ambitions, what led her to continue with the Club is a song sung by her grandmother, but without the use of instruments. Along with Maeda, Kaito and two other members. In the beginning, their composition was not so positive. Setsu needs to develop and avoid his selfishness to harmonize with the rest of the team; Maeda has a "mental block" at times and this prevents her from advancing in songs and performances. Kaito is the most explosive of the group, and most of the discussions come from him, but this is due to frustration in football and family pressure on his future. The whole group somehow has some insecurity and it is well supported throughout the show, no matter if it's in a Championship or a show for just one person (as it was with Maeda's grandmother), everyone was building a bond of some kind. way with Shamisen.
Even Setsu's relatives. Umeko, his mother, is a deprived woman and somehow doesn't deserve to be called the "mother" of a talented instrumentalist. The lack of it in Setsu's life is not felt at first sight, being often pushed aside to continue the show. But the very actions of Umeko that created a break with his children, causes a lot of trouble for them. The contrast between them is visible and sharp. Wakana, for example, occupies even more the role of Setsu's father, even though he is an older brother, something that is more demonstrated with the development of the protagonist, who starts shy, rigid and impulsive, but who starts to become aware and understand which is not unique in the music world, especially in the world of group competitions.
This competence is also transmitted among the characters enshrined in the anime, such as Shouichi, Mai and Kamiki. The three have an engaging relationship with Setsu and his group over time and feed them positively with each new episode.
But you can't just give merit to the anime. Mashiro no Oto is one of the shows that I most visualize the capacity of a production, from the creation of a story to its final execution. It is evident the work of the show staff, which was done by the Shin-Ei studio. Yes, the same Shin-Ei studio that made animes like "Takagi-san" and "Tonari no Seki-kun", but which today has been constantly questioned for its weak and disappointing work. It is the example of "Hachi-nan tte". Incorporating a show like Mashiro no Oto was practically a miracle. Much was said about the quality that the anime would deliver over time, but expectations were really exceeded. Congratulations to the whole show staff, I look forward to another new production, with the same quality and dedication.
Also worth mentioning the amazing songwriting. For those who know and love Haikyuu, Burnout Syndromes is the band that best suits the show, both for the musicality and the lyrics of each song, in addition to its very engaging choruses. Mashiro no Oto was no different. Each episode was redefined with the openings and the band's work was the best possible to convey the sensations that the anime is. I should also mention Shamisen's own musical structures. All the melodies combined and made Mashiro no Oto a cultural grandeur. I think few people who saw this show really knew what this instrument was. I myself was completely unaware of its importance and its way of playing. Now I'm really happy to have absorbed some of this and I'm looking forward to more and more anime themed. It's been a while since we had musical animes either. It's something that had its peaks like Beck and Shigatsu wa Kimi in Uso, but lately it's been getting rarer. There are still some more unpopular works about music, but it is necessary to have a more adequate attention with the whole audience, it is a theme that can bring more history than we imagine.
Finally, Mashiro no Oto is an essential show that changed my expectations with the year 2021. Many shows did not deliver a good story, nor were they even able to innovate. But this show is just the opposite. All the episodes are really good and the settings combined with the sentimentality of their own makes Mashiro no Oto an exclusive show. It's an anime that I wish it had a sequel, it was so worth every minute with this anime.
If you don't know it, give it a try, it's a show that can interest even those who don't like music. It's an eclecticism in anime form. The wind blows in Mashiro no Oto, and this time it's to bring welcome.

"The Suffering Tale of a Sweet and Poisonous Young Girl" - Jouran can be defined simply by those words. As a new experimental work from 2021, Bakken Record Studio has the show as its second production and first broadcast weekly.
The show begins with a perspective that intersperses underworld, government corruption, and work lurking and in the dark. Nue is a very strong and influential group in Japan, especially when it comes to their most important function: to ensure the security and political integrity of the country at any cost. In the same act we meet Sawa, the main character of the show, taking care of
...
Asahi, her "sister". In fact, the very coexistence of Asahi and Sawa is a matter to be considered as important for the construction of the show. It is interesting to realize that even though they appear to be good friends, the two hide a bloody past. Imagine that you are a very young child who lost your parents in a conflict. Asahi would be one of the thousands of children who would have this fate. Just as in reality, life is cruel and the anime does not hide this at any time. Even though Asahi internally seeks revenge, his immaturity and lack of experience is the cause of his failures. And even after his death, the show shows with a very impactful visual discomfort. Nowadays, there are few shows that can really have this creative freedom in using elements like these at every point in the story.
Remember when I said that Jouran was a Tale? In fact, Jouran is a theater, composed of characters with exposed roles for the sake of the continuity of a drama that moves forward and reformulates itself over time. Our protagonist? A woman who, before the show even begins, has experienced immeasurable pain and loss, simply for her clan. In the anime, Sawa finds herself on a quest for revenge on her family, especially revenge on her brother. The drive that has driven Sawa since childhood is a prominent factor in the decent progression of the entire show. Even though Sawa fights and switches sides and opinions during her life, she always fights for justice and retribution of accounts. Tsukishiro is another important character within the show, in fact, a character to be better explained. He is the complete example of someone who has sold out to pursue a personal freedom. Even though we don't know his true intentions (for example, when he allies himself with Janome), Tsukishiro fulfills the role of a supporting villain as his role in revealing the mysteries and goals of the government are shown, based we treasures and by the blue blood of the Sawa Clan.
Asahi is also a key player in Sawa's evolution as a character. In fact, Asahi is the main point that changes Sawa's perspective on the world. Since she entered Nue and was trained by Jin, she has had to suppress her more human emotions in order to perform her missions with prowess and precision, as a sign of trust and to further her own revenge. However, when reality is shown over Sawa's eyes, everything becomes a cataclysm and changes drastically. Throughout the show, Sawa has never cared about personal or loving relationships. Even the character in the first episode who teased her in the bookstore and the teacher who taught at the school where Asahi played with other children, all had trouble really effecting a change in Sawa's attitude. The perception of events and the trauma of suffering more prevented Sawa from still judging herself as a human. Many times the anime put her in a situation of internal conflict, where she made up her mind a few times to want to commit suicide, but without effect, because Jin would not allow it. All this exposition of happenings shows that Jouran exerts a depth both in the Japanese period in which it is told, and in the narrative function in which the show creates its plot. When Asahi's supposed death occurs, Sawa actually recognizes that he is still someone who can love and suffer and take someone in.
And the word of the anime is: "betrayal". Jouran has taken up the proceedings with this word. Jin's past, Nue, the allies, the government... All the groups and people who represent the show have suffered or betrayed for their own benefit. The national corruption in Japan, in Jouran, allows for creating situations where the death of characters is the solution to end these pursuits. Hana and Asahi (again) and Tsukishiro are practical and obvious examples. The show has competently and objectively exercised the reasons why it set up the conclusion of the story, without leaving serious problems of plot composition. Of course, this whole applied situation can reach a peak of confusion, where everyone is against everyone else, which can really displease, but I believe Jouran knew how to fit positively into this. The episode director and storyboard creator are to be congratulated, they pushed the show forward.
On the production side, Jouran stands out very well. Even with general inconsistencies, the show uses beautiful artistic elements, such as texture and morbid perspective. The use of placements, mainly blue, red, and black, produce a contrast, while complementing the environment and the night time period, where most of the anime takes place. Not to mention the music, which was well interspersed, with the Opening and Ending being great. The red flowers, the artwork in a watercolor-like portrait, and the culture of verisimilitude managed to stand out clearly within each episode.
Finally, Jouran deserves more recognition. It is a different show from the others, of course, you may not like it. It is an anime that doesn't encompass many positive reviews, but this time I ask: give it a chance. I was a person who looked down on this show, today I want to forget everything negative I said in the past. Jouran is indeed a worthwhile show.
- In the end, everything is a cycle, it will always repeat itself.
I would like to see a sequel to Jouran, with Asahi as the protagonist. It would be nostalgic and fun, I think...

PA Works + Jun Maeda is something that needs to stop urgently!
Okay, it's not as if everything about Kamisama ni Natta hi is the culmination of the decadence of Jun Maeda's shows. We need to go in parts. We all know the efforts of this famous writer. It was he who created Clannad, Angel Beats and Charlotte, all well-known and well commented animes. Of course, while there is the positive side, where drama and sadness continues and evolves during his stories, issues involving exaggerated sentimentality and ruined attempts to fit a bold story into something that didn't need it, Jun Maeda was talked about and
...
his name had a resonance within the otaku world. But currently that was not pleasant. In fact, it's ultimatum, a master letter that the creator needs to give it a rest and rethink the consequences of what crediting anime to his name has meant for his career.
But talking about the anime, Kamisama ni Natta hi (or just "Kamisama") develops a good proposition, where the world is in great danger of collapsing. This omen comes from a girl, Hina Satou, or self-styled "Odin". She is basically a child who becomes involved with Youta, a teenager who has school and personal goals during this period. Youta and Hina's relationship is what drives the story. Well... Not exactly.
Come on, Kamisama's continuity fails to sustain some factors that would make the story organic and positive. Part of this is due to the lack of an affectionate relationship between the secondary characters and the familiar duo, as well as not bringing anything all that positive to the show. Usually, when this happens, anime tries to focus heavily on a single relationship until the end. In fact, this occurs, but in a bad, very bad way.
The lack of dedication to the relationships that Youta and Hina have with the rest of the cast is noticeable. Of course, that's not to say it wasn't totally overlooked, it was nice to follow some random comedic episodes where the duo experienced funny scenes. It was an attempt to persuade the audience that I was really enjoying it, even if the show doesn't evolve. But contrary to what many have commented, the problem with Kamisama wasn't exactly its conclusion, it was the way they organized the episodes. The first half is literally "forgotten" since Hina, the "Odin", is basically a child and at all times this was a comedy for the show. As much as we knew that PA Works animes are known for having a drama at their conclusion, it was hopeful to think that what was conveyed at the beginning would be maintained until the end.
However, it is at the end that the small problem becomes a bigger snowball than Jun Maeda could handle. The anime literally brought in a new group of characters, with most being barely mentioned or relativized. Who remembers the white-haired character looking like Accelerator? The evil compromise that was already evident escalated in an indefensible way. Kamisama ni Natta hi doesn't know how to take advantage of its clever average characters and decided to introduce a bigger story than the show would allow.
Me: Chips? Is it serious?
Anime: Exactly!
Me: So you mean Hina has a chip implanted in her because of other people's studies and it's actually something self-destructive?
Anime: Y-Yes...
Me: Oh my God, that's horrible.
Thinking more and more to Kamisama, I observed that it wouldn't work to use the female protagonist as a science experiment and as a lazy attempt to build a "bad ending". Again, the story being bigger than the show's capacity. The problem this time extended. Hina at the end is caught by the same group of poorly introduced characters, who remove her chip and "save mankind". And what happens to the girl? She becomes a fragile, mentally weakened and disturbed child, because she doesn't even know what happened to her life. And to make matters worse, the show allowed an entire episode to focus on a perspective of her father, who currently doesn't care about his daughter's whereabouts. Imagine that you are Hina and you are being rejected simply because you have a health condition, and that same disability pits you against your own family relationships. Honestly, that was grotesque. More so than watching the show try to reverse the horrible archetype of what Youta was at the end of the story. That is a topic I want to avoid clarifying. Only those who actually saw the show know how poorly executed Kamisama's overall conclusions were.
Finally, I must say that I have tried a million times to like Kamisama. I even thought about rating it by thinking more about the beginning of the show and "accepting" its conclusion, but I honestly can't. I really prefer to watch a show that commits to being good for at least a few moments. Kamisama worked absolutely nothing well. And I don't want to see anything more of Maeda's future projects either. It's definitely an offense to go back to producing and replicating an idea for the fiftieth time. A writer needs to revive something if he wants to take advantage of a main structure. Maeda revived what was non-existent, brought in a non-existent quality, and concluded worse than shounen manga with over 300 chapters conclude. Congratulations Kamisama, you also made me hate a voice actress. Hina is the only worthwhile character in the show, but definitely listening to 12 episodes of "I AM A GODDESS" in the voice of a child who can't regulate her own voice is the worst thing your ears can hear. Asta's voiceover becomes good next to this.

Yami Shibai wanted to be a show with legends, but today it is nothing more than a myth forgotten by its quality that falls more than long American series.
It is already the third attempt of union between the new studio Drawiz and the ILCA. Since then, Yami Shibai 7 and Ninja Collection have been produced, but they have not yielded good reviews, especially when it comes to what is the biggest problem with horror stories: textual quality. Yami Shibai was never a franchise that honored the suspense and horror genre, because no matter what season, something always prevented the anime from really being a good
...
thing. This time, for the thousandth time, the "terror" applied to Yami Shibai cannot even be considered a terror. It is an immeasurable affront for lovers of macabre stories...
I will not say that Yami Shibai 8 did not try. In fact, this was the season when I saw more variety in terms of what could be reused from the anime. Some stories are even like a re-adaptation of an old one (like the house of laughter). Other episodes had a change in the art of the characters and in the way of telling their ghastly tales. But, let's agree, none of this really put the anime in a good quality. Again, the show aims to bring a Japanese culture very focused on legends and urban histories, something common in the country, but when this is done with contempt and inertia, without developing a posture of innovation in the narrative, Yami Shibai becomes boring, VERY BORING. It has been a while since many people forgot about this show, which just became a "taboo" within its own focus, the audience that likes anime. Many like the show and I also have a fondness for the importance that Yami Shibai has as an exploration of the audiovisual resources and the adaptation of his kamishibais, something that I always try to value.
However, it is easy to understand the decadence of the show. In fact, it is noticeable. Since the fourth season (Where they introduced takes with scenes in live action), the anime already showed signs of being something of deep disappointment. Yami Shibai 8 just confirmed what I imagined. The third season really was a great set of episodes that, although it didn’t reach the same level of quality as the practically forgotten first season, it was irreverent and introduced grotesque creatures very well, without being appealing or exaggerated, nor did it use the common animation features. To continue like this until today would be great, but unfortunately that was not the case. Today the show is completely lost... More than a hundred stories (104, to be exact) have passed and not a tenth of that is really interesting...
Finally, I'm sick of looking at Yami Shibai and waiting for another sequel. In fact, I've been watching all the seasons for the past few months and it wasn't easy. Furthermore, I didn't even start some (5th, 6th and 7th), as it is not really necessary to admire this one. But in the end, Yami Shibai always missed something. The anime does not please and lost the interest of the majority, including mine. Will I continue to follow the show if I have a new sequel? Perhaps, it is always good to have something short to see, but I no longer expect anything from the anime, or my interest.

Revenge... For many, something good, necessary, a measure that has to be taken, with the objective of improving their reputation and dignity after being betrayed, scolded, hurt. For others, something that should not consume a person's essence, nonsense, since when he takes revenge on someone, the victim becomes as repulsive as the aggressor. Well, 12 episodes were more than enough to decide what Keyaru has become: a boy who, at the beginning, wants to take revenge for maintaining a minimum of dignity, but who has absorbed a possession and an excessive addiction to rotten, horrible and sick.
Honestly, talking about Kaifuku will be difficult, since there
...
is not much to discuss. We'll start with the protagonist, Keyaru. He is a young man, who has been blessed with an incalculable power throughout the universe of history: the ability to heal immense and even fatal damage from other heroes and warriors in the Kingdom of Jioral. However, Keyaru is constantly abused by the inhabitants who struggle to defend the place. The main group, Bullet, Blade and Flare, is the one that most abuses the protagonist, from cursing to sexual acts. "Keyaru is a young man who must not suffer, he has done nothing... He does not deserve this." Well, if Kaifuku was a show that, due to its proposal, was suited to the minimum qualities of positively developing the protagonist, I could accept this argument. However, everything, absolutely EVERYTHING is degraded as the episodes pass. Well, Keyaru finally gets a power that makes him go back to the past (parallel world? Possibly, but Kaifuku doesn't care about that) and can rebuild his life, taking revenge on his molesters.
And how to take revenge on horrendous people, with no humanity at heart? The answer is simple for Keyaru, ladies and gentlemen, treating him the same way he was abused. Here we already have a problem, perhaps the biggest problem for the entire show. The anime does not hide that the protagonist is sick and further intensifies it in order to treat what he does as something normal. Okay, it would be understandable if these acts were only used against those who molested him a second time, in this "second world", before Keyaru gained resistance to one of the drugs offered by our sweet and beloved Princesses Flare. But no, as much as Keyaru has this objective of only punishing those who deserve it, he is completely lost. After doing what he did to Flare, in addition to faking her death, Keyaru isolates himself in a suburban city, erasing Flare's memories, in addition to changing her name.
In addition to being completely edgy, Keyaru has a multitude of peculiarities that defy his own disturbing mentality. The protagonist ironically conflicts with the reasons why he is doing the evil actions. At the same time that he repudiates the violence of the Jioral warriors, who arrest the people of the village of Keyaru, he is saddened, as an appealing way of possessing some boast and decency. That's right! One action of a kingdom is enough, according to the anime, to soften, justify and trivialize the actions of our eternal protagonist. It is not as if this is not something socially "accepted". In fact, ancient peoples already used some legislation to punish and nullify crimes. The Hammurabi Code and the "Eye for an eye" law are two of the many instruments that founded the infinite rules of morals and ethics in our world. However, it is poorly used in Kaifuku. In these instruments of inspection of the order of society, the intervener is the leader of the kingdom or the city itself. However, Keyaru takes responsibility for himself, as a legitimate defense and being solely responsible for this "adequacy of society". Keyaru himself assumes himself as a good character, a reference, someone to follow, as if he were a God. This kind of mentality degrades not only him, but his actions. It is understandable to see him attempting his redemption in some way, but does it need to be the same as the warriors did? He reset the world, was chosen again to be a hero in Jioral, defied his own sanity and promoted his "victory". The show also tries to alternate the protagonist's thoughts and ideals, when the people of his native village are taken to the kingdom as a way of attracting Keyaru. Furthermore, the woman who took care of Keyaru, being like a mother to him, is (OF COURSE) raped.
If Kaifuku was decent, even a change of face would be easily accepted, but no... not in Kaifuku. What Keyaru does doesn’t change Flare’s look practically, and it already puts the entire anime in a state of meaningless garbage. How can Keyaru just change his name to "Keyaruga", Flare become "Freia" and say "It's okay, no one will notice."? Any idiot would easily realize that he had changed nothing, literally nothing, of the two. TNK Studio is not to blame, it comes from the manga, when he gave more accurate illustrations about the characters. It is not possible that nobody warned Souken Haga, the manga's illustrator, to change the look more radically. And that is one of the minimum problems. Kaifuku doesn't stop there...
What to talk about the development of the group that Keyaru builds over time? Well, Setsuna, Crylet and Eve Reese are the other girls in this disgusting harem. Each with its goals, of course, has no way for Keyaru to achieve its ambitions without them. Setsuna is an ice wolf, who wants to annihilate those who almost wiped out her race people; Crylet is a warrior from the Kingdom of Jioral who surrenders to Keyaru having recovered his arm after an incident, even at the beginning of the anime: Eve Reese is a demon who aims to become her People's Leader. All of them, in some way, have their reasons for relating to Keyaru, but the show leaves that aside. The anime wants to show sex... And more sex... And more sex... Yes, Kaifuku only knows how to identify this as a reason to continue his productions. In addition to having completely horrible flashbacks of Keyaru being raped and taking revenge on some characters, the group he finds himself in does not stop surrendering to the "best anime protagonist". The reason? Well, in most cases it is a daily routine to increase the maximum level ability in the fantasy world. Yes, they completely missed even that. And the power of Keyaru? Healer? Really? He has an ex-machina power, which does literally everything he wants??? Anything that could be a problem for Keyaru's goals is rendered useless from the moment he has the capacity to do literally EVERYTHING. The fanciful elements are already appealing when Keyaru speaks "Heal" constantly, even more so when the hero's "liquid" is something sacred in this world, a holy chalice. Urgh !! This is really despicable to think about.
"What if Kaifuku was a Hentai? Would it be a good anime for that genre?" ~ Being honest, I would already consider Kaifuku a Hentai, because in addition to designing content with explicit and excessive sex scenes, the show has a very common proposal in anime for adults. In many cases, hentais address topics such as rape, mind break, blackmail, threats, ahegao and other techniques of intensity, with the aim of promoting libidinous action to those who assist. Kaifuku has all these techniques mentioned, but it is very difficult to imagine that the theme of the show helps to even be a support for excitement, since it is mainly an anime that assumed to be a story of redemption for a character who suffered a lot. The show sells that idea, we buy it. Some do not like it and give up to continue... Others continue and want to see the level that the show can reach. Unfortunately, the same show that was wrong to be an anime with a good story, was wrong to have ecchi, in addition to making mistakes even if it was, by definition, a hentai. It is really sad, after just over a year, to see another show decaying the minimum quality that some ecchis have already brought. Anyone who remembers Ishuzoku Reviewers knows that his idea is something that makes it easier for the show to have a fun and innovative story. Kaifuku tried to be innovative and, at the same time, wanted to be more than he could. The manga is no different. I remember when I started reading Kaifuku and I remember that I already thought everything the chapters proposed was okay. But today, two years after reading this manga, I seriously rethink the reasons that made me accept such a chaotic evolution of history. The only thing I can positively extract from the entire franchise is just the fact that it was the first manga I read. Of course, I was unaware of how bad it was. I was just a 15/16 year old boy who looked at this and thought it was "cool". Today I just think it's rubbish. A quality that exists only in the synopsis.
And what about your huge production? Well, she is objectively bad. Kaifuku presents an acceptable animation, but absolutely generic (remember, the biggest culprit of this is the manga's illustrator), in addition to a very bad scene composition. The show's director should now rethink having chosen Kaifuku to do his job now. Of course, I think the show must have been turned down countless times and ended up in one of the worst studios today. TNK was never a great promoter of good and decent works (DxD and School Days are enough to exemplify this), now it's Kaifuku. The magnum opus of destruction, chaos misunderstood. A masterpiece from 2021? Maybe... Maybe even Ex-Arm doesn't get over this character deconstruction. Maybe we're crazy...
No more...
This anime does not know how to take advantage of the revenge concepts and is not limited to just narrating... Kaifuku wants to be a hentai in disguise. Well, he did it, now the show has two versions, censored and adult. And what do we have? A horrible adaptation of a manga that was already horrible, of a light novel that is possibly not good either... This is the disaster of 2021 ladies and gentlemen. And I really hope that they have some neurons to understand that, no matter how it gets transmitted. Even though Keyaru has his reasons (which is already stupid, as he might as well do other acts instead of rape rape rape), the show does not hide the hell it is to sit in a chair and watch another video of the week, with a new and disposable episode, as Kaifuku has always been.
It is not just because it is an anime that has different revenge that it is being judged wrongly. It's about reusing a story that seems to be a good one, but constantly misses the initial goals, the World building and the characters, in addition to bringing a disgusting staff. Today, Kaifuku is nothing more than an object of consumption to never be seen again. It is possibly the worst show I have ever seen and this is not an exaggeration on my part, it is a personal manifestation of how it shouldn't exist.Tolerance is something that the author should know, but it seems that he will not be silent in the face of controversies, since this profits his financial balance...
A definite offense... Just that...
Kaifuku must be overlooked.

Inu to Neko is an anime that makes people happy for its simplicity and convenience.
The show is short, with fun episodes, an educational story and a lot of humor, where a dog, a cat and its owner star in the series. What's so special about it? Nothing, but it is certainly cool to accompany, especially if you have a pet living with you. It is a show to identify with your own experiences with your pets. It's a very good variety of episodes, where being simple can be great.
Finally, it is another one of the shows that I would recommend to see when you have
...
free time. It's cute and I highly recommend it. Objectively better than many current animes (and this is really serious, even unknown animes have more to show than disappointing hypes).

Nice animes do not need to be large. Abciee is proof of this. The show tells a lot of Abciee stories, an animal living and works as assistant of the functions of a television network in Japan. There, he lives many funny and dynamic adventures, where the anime becomes educational and, in almost his totality, made for the child The show does not have many required qualities, since it has only the intention of being a pastime in the middle of popular animes, getting to be unknown by most.
I must say that I am fascinated with this type of show. It's cool to relax while
...
you're seeing something playful at the end of the day, it's a very nice experience. I recommend a lot if you feel like consuming small content, even more if you are short of time to watch anything. Abciee can be ideal for you.

--- The review contains spoilers ---
"Oh Rika, I told you to pick one, didn't?" ~ Satoko Houjou
24 episodes, a dream: to continue a franchise of almost 20 years at the height of visual novels and anime. Higurashi no Naku koro ni returned in 2020, with a surreal season. In the first season, we saw crazy, disturbing scenes and a shocking story. Higurashi Kai softens and resolves the disruption and brings a great ending to the entire series. Higurashi Rei is shorter, only 5 episodes, serving as a sequel after Kai. Now, in 2020/1, Higurashi Gou is broadcast and a new information clash is used in
...
order to create two more cours for the show. "14 years have passed since the original broadcast, will they still like the anime?", That question has bothered me since the first of October, but today I can finally understand who liked it and who hated it, after all, it is not common in the days of today having an anime like this.
To begin with, it is visible the work and the high effort of Passione studio and the director, Keiichirou Kawaguchi, in making episodes without any reference to games and bows different from what we already knew before. Of course, the first thirteen episodes brought many impactful scenes and managed to recreate iconic moments (like Rena's "USODA !!"). It was definitely surprising how the first half of behaved positively as being a sequel, after all, Rika is already tired. A hundred years in loopings ... I must admit that this reference to Higurashi Kai may seem confusing at first, but it managed to bring up a new hypothesis: what if she leaves Hinamizawa, after a happy ending in 1983? Well, that's what happened. Rika enrolls at St. Lucia College and begins her journey. Obviously, we don't know how the end of this world was, since she herself doesn't have all the memories herself (even Hanyuu offering everything she has in Nekodamashi). It is incredible this change of perspective, in which Rika goes from being a simple and not very important character, to the protagonist of every anime. "But, wait, what? What's going on with Satoko ????". Yes, now we have a situation where Satoko knows more than the viewers themselves and even Rika herself. You know, I had some problems with the first two seasons. Interesting characters, like Oishi and Satoko, were not fully utilized. In most cases, they were more like a character group that is only important to be quoted or used specifically in some episodes. But look at how we are doing: Oishi has gone mad in Tataridamashi and Satoko finds Eua, an entity, like our dear Hanyuu, who also has creative powers from other worlds. It is difficult to say and explain all the points and relevance of Eua without mentioning Umineko (another series in the When They Cry franchise), so much so that it is understandable to see people disgusted by this introduction of a sudden character, but I must say that it was a great choice of scriptwriter for this fourth season. He brought a continuation with material shortened by the Ryukishi07 series limits and transcended the limits for something big.
Rena, Shion, Mion and Keichi are the ones that were most "forgotten" during the second part of the anime. In fact, this is unpleasant. It is not the same impression of character development that they had, compared to the old anime. My favorite Shion (even Higurashi Gou), was practically nonexistent in the entire show. Rena again became the "yandere" character of the show, maintaining many climaxes and iconic moments, especially in Onidamashi. Keichi, on the other hand, became the protagonist of the entire first half, but again presented some construction flaws with the show in the sequence. I don't say it was bad, since the outcome was purposely focused on Rika, Satoko and Hanyuu. Speaking of Hanyuu, she finally had more explanations regarding her limits as an entity that personifies Oyashiro-Sama. She did in fact become a fundamental piece for Rika during the final events, but I was sad to see that she apparently had a not very good and even melancholy fate.
And how can we not mention the masterpiece that was episode 16? Among all that we've seen, this moment was much more exciting and cathartic than anything we've seen before. It was a promising entry from a different Satoko. It seemed that she was the villain of the series, and in fact, she comes to be. When Eua offers part of its powers to Satoko, it uses it to normalize the problems that Rika leaving Hinamizawa would leave forever marked in these infinite fragments. It is not common, nor usual to see Satoko being a scary character in Higurashi. The cases always involved Rena, Shion, Keichi and Mion as the biggest protagonists and cursed. Satoko has never been so prominent before, and I loved it. Her personality having a little change, experiencing everything that Rika lived, was a great narrative to follow the story forward. I like alternating postures and psychological dualities in Higurashi, but Satoko's perspective has outgrown much of what has already been brought up. She starts from a child who loves her friend as her only family to a young woman unsure about the upheaval that changes in her friendship with Rika could change Hinamizawa's course. And even though this seems to be a spook on Satoko's part, her side of concern for her home village is visible, after all, even if there is a perfect destination, Higurashi always contains tragedies and plot twists, where some moments are not predictable. Higurashi Gou was like that and knew how to use his elements very well.
Another issue to be valued is the production of the show. Of course, Higurashi was never an anime to be praised for its animation, that I confess, but the Passione studio brought a much better look than the art of 2006 and brought it much closer with the version of the games. This aesthetic is reminiscent of the Monotagari Series (of course, the show's designer did direct work on this series), in addition to appropriating more up-to-date environments. Again, some episodes are not well used even with this improvement, it is not easy to accept the Kimiyoshi scene in episode 15, for example, but it was the best they were able to do in its entirety. Many moments had a very good and above average graphic, which made me happy from the beginning. In addition, the songs again are one of the strongest points of the franchise. The opening was very good for the situations that the anime was in with the time, besides the endings were absurdly good. Irregular Entropy and God's Syndrome are songs that will mark me forever, because in addition to adding well to the message that Higurashi wants to convey, he promoted a great artistic style in the images that composed them throughout the show. The plot? As already said, he was creative, innovative and brought a different posture. It was a perfection made by the show's screenwriter, who knew how to take advantage of many of Higurashi's details, in addition to his references to the old one and the game, which are huge. The director was also impeccable at many times (episode 16 was, for me, the best of all anime in 2020, easily). The franchise can surely celebrate with the result obtained. When They Cry and 07th Expansion must be happy.
Many are wondering if Higurashi Gou can continue with a sequel. I feel like yes. At times, the show has convinced itself that it has more to show. It's not like everything that happened was empty, there are already 3 other seasons that show that clearly. But it would be great to see other strands and attempts in history, to continue the series seriously. Particularly, Hinamizawa has a lot of content to be explored, that is a fact. So, continuing with a few more episodes and a new sequence would bring new chances and adaptations to the show as a whole.
(And look what a surprise, before sending the review, Higurashi will have a sequence confirmed by Funimation.)
Finally, if you've made it this far, you should realize that it's not just any anime. Higurashi marked generations (me too) and broke many paradigms of horror and suspense, something that has not been seen for a long time. 2020 was a difficult year, the anime obviously suffered from the bad reception of many fans and newcomers with the show. I must say, it is normal and I respect the position of these people. Nobody imagined that these more controversial versions and changes in history would be chosen by Kawaguchi. However, I loved everything that was proposed. Higurashi has entered my favorites because of this season, which, for me, is nothing short of great. I really hope for a possible reinterpretation of people with the show, in fact, we are talking about a unique and exclusive content, the beloved of Ryukishi07, a little commented masterpiece. Congratulations to everyone who pledged to make this anime. Congratulations to Passione, for taking such a good title and continuing with great originality. To those who didn't watch the first few seasons, I highly recommend watching it, if it pleased you. You will certainly have no regrets about this.

The best character in this anime is the totem.
Ten episodes were enough to make this anime completely rubbish.
Honestly, I did not expect much from "Idolls!", Only that it would have common elements and that I would not disconnect from your proposal. However, although it really did happen, it wasn't quite what I wanted. First, it must be said... The combination of CG, music, history and characters is tragic. Very tragic. Offensive. It is not legal, it does not introduce interesting elements and it does not manage to have the minimum of identity. I would not like to compare it with Love Live and Bang Dream,
...
but these are infinitely better, have greater competence from the producers and convey some relevance of their own.
From the opening episodes, I had some hope, after all, I was able to laugh at the bizarre that it was. Even though it had a deep decay, it was an anime that I managed to laugh at. However, from the moment they introduced absolutely ridiculous things, I was unable to save the show. WHO IS GOING TO MAKE A SHOW HIT AN EGGPLANT IN THE FACE OF THE OTHER FRIEND? WHO WILL SING A MUSIC AS OFFENSIVE AS THE CHARACTER OF CHARACTERS? Honestly, this show is just shit. Rubbish that shouldn't exist. It is not as if it could not be better than it really was, since the beginning is pleasant, even with the problems, but I cannot tolerate the very attempt and goal of being garbage. It seems that the producers of this show wanted to make this anime on purpose, just to remember that there are such horrible works in video media productions.
Definitely, my lost time will not be rewarded. At least he has a totem pole, he is the best character in this rot.
