THIS IS SPOILER FREE (as much as possible)!
TL:DR is at the bottom.

Masamune-kun no Revenge is a typical rom-com with a bit of a twist. It has a unique idea but ultimately fails because of all the cliches. Let me explain:

The whole idea of revenge was promising, but, to be honest, it quickly became a typical tsundere romcom sort of thing. The whole "getting rejected as a child" backstory was pretty decent, but it could have been explored more. There were many moments that were sorta like filler, except that they were canon. The relationship progression is pretty slow and the whole plot with ... the "second guy" was not actually finished. The ending felt like a cliff hanger to me, so I hope they make a second season. The side characters really dragged on the story, because no one really cared about them.

The two main characters have a decent backstory but the show doesn't really bring it up very much. The MC Makabe was pretty unique, in my opinion, because I haven't seen too many hot guys that were not experienced with relationships and had a toxic motive. The female MC, Aki, was a pretty generic tsundere that hated guys, but her motives are pretty unique. She has a weird fetish for a certain kind of person too.... Most of the characters are pretty bland and I could care less about them. Many of them are super annoying because they cause conflict within the story (too keep it going), but they just extend the length of the story. A few of the minor characters were into the gay/lesbian stuff, so If you don't like watching fujoshi characters shipping guys, you may be slightly annoyed.

The art was pretty good and the characters looked great! I really liked the colourfulness and art style.

The sound was pretty decent, with good voice actors/actresses and a good OP and ED. The background music was sorta boring and not really important.

However, even though the anime isn't the most unique or has the best story, It was enjoyable to watch and one of the only anime that I kept up to date with. If you want a rom-com to watch, this should be on your list, albeit on the bottom of the list. If you want something new and unique with a great plot, you should look elsewhere.

NOTE: Rating it a 5 means that overall, it was a positive experience watching the anime, but It lacked a story and had meh characters. I do not hate the anime, so don't message me saying "OMG you suck because you hate my favourite anime!" I liked it, but I didn't LOVE it.

TL:DR : Had a promising idea, but ended up being a generic romcom. The story isn't finished yet, so I hope for a second season. Was fun to watch.

*THIS REVIEW WILL BE UPDATED EVERY FEW EPISODES*
*Updated as of Episode 9*

KonoSuba Season 2 can be described simply as "Disappointing" or "Mediocre". There was lots of hype around the second season, however, thus far, it has been a mess. That's what I initially thought, however, it seems like KonoSuba Season 2 is just overrated.

There are many problems with the second season of KonoSuba. Firstly, the art has gotten worse compared to the first season. There are many scenes where it feels like the animators just got lazy and didn't do their best. The character faces sometimes look weird with the eyes in "interesting" positions. ... The art isn't bad compared to other anime, but it isn't what it used to be, something that the animators could feel proud to have produced. The characters are also less detailed but the backgrounds are fine. It feels like the studio and animators have gotten lazy or maybe just didn't have enough money. Keep in mind that this anime has lots of fanservice and sorta feels like it could be an ecchi. After a thorough examination, the art isn't that bad. It's definitely a downgrade but it isn't bad. There are some parts where the framerate feels like I am using the crappy internet, but the problem was the animation. (Mostly Ep6)

The story has been mostly filler for a majority of the episodes that have been aired so far. Nothing serious is happening yet, only time will tell if the story actually gets better. Many episodes have been detached from the main story and do not add anything new. After many episodes, there is finally some story development and things start happening. However, I'm not sure how long this will last. Any plot development is limited by the character's stupidity. This is getting pretty annoying for me.

Many new characters have been introduced and some seem promising, however, there is a lack of character development and most characters are one sided two-dimensional characters. The main character Kazuma is as funny as he was in season one. I think he has gotten funnier but the rest of the cast isn't doing too well. Over time, some of the characters get a bit annoying due to the lack of change and they keep making the same jokes again and again. The characters are more like a bunch of weird traits stuck together with crappy glue. Some of the characters *cough Aqua cough* get pretty annoying at times because she resets all the progress the team makes during the episode. This makes the story more painful to watch. Many of the characters have very large breasts, which can get annoying because of the fact that almost all of the female characters, except Megumin, have abnormally large breasts. If you love large breasts than this anime would be great to watch for you. If not, it may make the whole experience worse.

The opening and ending songs are good like the first season and there are no problems with the VAs. The background music isn't memorable at all, like in most mediocre anime.

However, most people don't watch KonoSuba for the story, but for the comedy. In my opinion, season two is very enjoyable to watch and even made me laugh out loud a few times, which isn't too common. My personal enjoyment is pretty good at a 7+. Personally, I don't want to review anime based on my enjoyment, but I prefer to show you the facts and let you decide if you like it.

If you want to laugh a bunch with some fanservice in between, then KonoSuba season two should be on your "Plan to Watch". I look forward to laughing for 25 minutes each week. It is one of the best anime this season, even though the winter 2017 season is quite weak in my opinion. It is rated too high in my opinion, but typically most comedy anime are rated highly.

If you want something with a more in-depth plot or characters, then you could consider skipping over KonoSuba unless it gets significantly better later in the season. Even though I do not think KonoSuba is the best thing in the world, it definitely isn't a bad anime, not even close, but it is also far from being something amazing.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns.

A recap after a mere 7 episodes....WOW! Shuka really needs more budget. OR ELSE we're gonna be seeing more of these.

Most people shouldn't forget what happened but, if you have amnesia or something, it might be worth watching. As it is a recap, it recaps the significant portions of the story from episode 1-7, however, it often takes too long in certain scenes and glosses over other ones that are equally important. It does a decent job of summarizing what is going on, but a few important scenes or explanations are missing so you HAVE TO go watch the actual anime.

Thanks for reading!

PS. ... Shuka is poor.

This "special" is at the end of each episode and doesn't really contain that much stuff.

Most of the time its just Mur Mur talking with the characters in the anime. Sometimes, but rarely it does give some extra background info about the characters (ie. where they lived etc.) but its not necessary.

Its comedic relief (which i don't like), which breaks the suspense.

Should You Watch It?

Yes if you like comedic relief, Mur Mur or just have some extra time. If you watch 1 episode each day, breaking the suspense doesn't really matter.

No if you dislike comedic relief, hate Mur Mur, or is short on time. ... If you continuously watch episode after episode of the anime, you probably don't want to ruin the suspense, so you should not watch it.

MCSnapTurtle's Anime Reviews #3 : Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (The Pet Girl Of Sakurasou)

SPOILER FREE

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is an amazing melodrama. This anime is amazing in many ways, it can tug your heartstrings and make you smile too. Overall i LOVE this anime and recommend it to almost anyone.

STORY- The story is amazing in Sakurasou, it's well made. It's truly amazing if you compare it to other slice-of-life anime (some are just plain boring). The anime follows the MC and his harsh journey through high school.
Story Score 9.5/10

STORY ELEMENTS- The story focuses a lot on solving problems in their daily ... lives, however due to it being a Rom-Com anime there is quite a bit of romance and comedy. There is a lot of romance but the MC doesn't end up dating anyone throughout the anime (But he does in the light novel). However you can noticeably see the love triangle, unlike the MC who doesn't realize the two females leads like him. The comedy portion of the anime is quite good too, and it made me laugh repeatedly.
Romance Score 8/10
Comedy Score 7.5/10

CHARACTERS- The characters are unique and i love them! However i do know people that dislike the MC (Sorata) because of his tendencies to quit when things get tough.
Characters Score 9.5/10

ART- The art looks amazing in this anime. The characters are well drawn and the backgrounds etc. are great.
Art Score 9/10

SOUND- The music is this anime is amazing and fits the anime!
Music Score 9/10

ENJOYMENT- I love this anime! I'd recommend this to anyone because it is really good.

Anime Rating 9.5/10

Enjoyment rating 9.5/10

MCSnapTurtle's Anime Reviews #2 : Seitokai Yakuindomo (and OVA)

SPOILER FREE

Seitokai Yakuindomo seems like an anime based just based on sex jokes, however it it isn't that simple. It's quite funny and everything about it is amazing, except its decent story, but it is a slice of life anime, so i shouldn't judge its story too harshly.

STORY- Simply put it's a slice of life anime so the story isn't that great. However, this doesn't mean the story is bad in any way.
Story Score 7/10

STORY ELEMENTS- This anime isn't classified as a romance but i wish it was. The anime does hint at romance a ... lot, however not every episode. The comedy on the other hand is well though out. If you're not perverted yourself, you may have some trouble understanding its sexual innuendos.
Romance Score 5/10
Comedy Score 9/10

CHARACTERS- The characters are amazing. I love them. They are well designed except for one problem, the females in the anime are WAY TOO Perverted. Almost all the female characters in the anime are overly perverted except for a few. However this is an anime based on sex jokes, so if the characters are not perverted it wouldn't really work. However they are mostly static throughout the anime.
Character Score 9.25/10

ART- The art is amazing. It may not be the most detailed but i like its art styles. The characters look amazing too.
Art Score 10/10

SOUND- The sound is also amazing. The voice actors are great and the music is truly amazing. For some reason the music in this anime sound very much like the music in Pokemon. Maybe because both of them use symphony music.
Sound Score 10/10

ENJOYMENT- I LOVE this anime. i really recommend this anime to almost anyone (unless they're not into sex jokes). This anime does so many things right, except for its mediocre story.

I RECOMMEND THIS ANIME for:
Perverts
Normal people
Almost everyone

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ANIME for:
Non-perverts
People that get offended easily

Anime Rating 9.75/10

Enjoyment rating 9/10

MCSnapTurtle's Anime Reviews #1 : Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu

SPOILER FREE

Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu simply put, is a Comedy Anime, it has likable characters, and a decent story, however there is not much character development. The anime is very lighthearted and was very enjoyable for myself.

STORY- Baka To Test's story may seem simple at first as they are only trying to get the best classroom. They declare war on other classes and if they win, they switch classes with them. However there are a lot of other things that happened (ie. Side Stories). I feel the story is unique and original as i have ... never seen something with the same story line.
Overall, the story was quite enjoyable and well made. 7.5/10

STORY ELEMENTS- This anime is classified as a comedy-romance, however the amount of romance isn't enough in my opinion as the MC is oblivious to the fact that both of the female leads like him.
However the comedy portion of the anime is amazing. There's lot's of comedy in the anime.
ROMANCE SCORE 3/10
COMEDY SCORE 9/10

CHARACTERS- The characters are very cliche but they do have a personality. There's the baka, our MC. There's A Tsundere, a typical nice girl, a pervert and many more, but they are still unique even though they are cliche. However, the character development is lacking, many, if not all, characters are static.
Overall, the characters are very good. 8/10

ART- I love this type of art style. The effects are good and the characters look great.
Overall, the arty is very, very good. 8.5/10

SOUND- The voice actors and background music were great. I loved the Opening theme.
Overall, the sound is very good. 8/10

ENJOYMENT- Overall i LOVED the anime, it may not be that great, but the comedy and characters made it very enjoyable for myself.

I RECOMMEND THIS ANIME

Anime Rating 7.75/10

How much i enjoyed it 9/10

Thanks for reading!
