Take the excessive cuteness of Popotan mixed with the absurdity of Puni Puni Poemii and you get the delightful gag comedy Nurse Witch Komugi. Oh my Haruhi! I discovered this OVA through the Akio Watanabe character designs and I'm truly grateful that I gave it a shot. Yet another perfect example of why you shouldn't trust MAL scores. Most of the time, anyway.
This anime is more important than ever. Komugi Nakahara is given the responsibility of eliminating viruses that negatively affect the lives of ordinary, everyday people. The leader of all of the viruses, Ungrar, escaped "The World of Vaccines." I watch anime

Mixed Feelings
This show had so much potential, such a strong and compelling start and it squanders it all by doing nothing. Seriously, the show really doesn't do much throughout most of it's runtime, but I'll talk about that later. In the year 2059, aliens have invaded Earth and humanity is thrown into a war. Takuto Kaneshiro, a snobbish college student and mathematics major, I think, initially has nothing to do with that war. He's just an ordinary twenty-something in a strained and deteriorating relationship with his girlfriend, Maki Agata. The two were college lovers and you get more and more glimpses of how their relationship blossomed
...
over time during flashback scenes. I say "flashback" because the first episode is essentially a backstory/origin story for Takuto. The real "story" happens afterwards. Takuto and Maki begin to spend less time with each other. Maki canceling plans and telling Takuto that she's busy all the time. This goes on for months and Takuto, understandably, grows more frustrated by this. It's later discovered that Maki and Professor Noguchi, a teacher at the college they went to, have discovered a new alien creature. The colossal behemoth lays dormant; not even awaken by the experiments conducted on it. Professor Noguchi gives a legendary and epic name to the alien. FRANK. FRANK-ly, I would've gone with a better name like "Epsilon Gamma 2000" but that works, too. Argento Soma means, "Silver Body" in Greek, so I wanted to stay consistent with the Greek motif.
Takuto and Maki have a sad exchange of words halfway through the episode. Takuto is clearly upset with Maki and wants her to spend more time with him like they use to. Maki tries to justify her actions, but Takuto refuses to listen and lashes out on her. Turns out Takuto was planning on proposing to Maki and throws away the engagement ring in her face. After finishing the show, upon reflection, this scene is much more tragic than what it originally was. This is going to be the very last conversation Takuto and Maki ever have and they end it on a sour note. How tragic. During the experiments, Frank wakes up. Frank is a powerful alien who wakes up in a pretty grumpy mood. He destroys the entire facility with a giant explosion killing everyone except Takuto. Half of Takuto's face is damaged and the building is in ruin. He screams Maki's name over and over again getting no response. It's just dead silence. The final scene of the episode is a damaged picture of Maki and Takuto. What a great start! I absolutely loved it! If the anime was this episode alone, it would get a strong 8 maybe a light 9 from me. The second episode is also strong, but not as good as the first. We're introduced to a new character named Harriet Bartholomew nicknamed Hattie. I would've never, ever imagined that I would encounter an anime character named Hattie. My grandmother is also named Hattie, so I greatly appreciate that. She is capable of speaking to Frank, who escaped the facility in the previous episode. The two somehow become good friends and share a very strong bond for the entire show. Takuto is now in the hospital and is visited by this freaking-looking dude who has a great character design. Long red hair that goes straight down his back, a sick goatee, ear piercings, a lab coat, and some granny smith apples that he carries around for no particular reason at all. I'm sure it's symbolic for something, but I have no clue. He also quotes Shakespeare everytime he's on screen, so yeah, that's a thing. He calls himself "Mr. X" and gives Takuto a new lease on life; by giving him a new identity and a new job. This makes Takuto a college dropout. Join the club, dude. His new name is Ryu Soma and he now works for a military group called, "Funeral." He also has one of the most badass character designs I've seen in an anime. He has gnarly scars on the left side of his face, his left eye color changed to a light blue, almost white color giving him the illusion of blindness in that eye. He not actually blind. Heterochromia has always looked cool to me. And part of his hair changed to a white color that stands up more compared to the rest of his hair. The man looks incredible, the change isn't too drastic, but it's genius to me. Now this is the point where I stop caring about most of the details, because once the show introduces the members of Funeral, the show goes into a direction that I'm not a fan of at all. I'll say this right now, the first two episodes and the epilouge are the only strong epiodes of Argento Soma. The members of Funeral don't really do anything for me. I don't care about them all that much, despite all of them having semi-realized backgrounds and backstories. Sue Harris, Michael Heartland, Guinevere Green, Dan Simmons, and Lana Ines are all okay characters. They all left little to no impression on me whatsoever, and I will forget who they are a week after I publish this review. With the exception of Lana and Dan. Lana was the commander of Funeral, so her face was on screen for the vast majority of the show. Dan Simmons is definitely my favorite of the bunch who gradually becomes more hostile towards Ryu. The two are practically rivals, at least from the perspective of Dan. Saying that Dan is my favorite of the bunch doesn't mean that much since most of the cast lacks a lot of character and nuance, excluding Ryu and Hattie who are very important to the show. So, I'm assuming you've already seen Neon Genesis Evangelion. Argento Soma is a Post Eva military drama/sci-fi/revenge story that follows the same trends that many other mecha shows followed between the late 90's to the early 2000's. Since Eva had such a major impact (Lol) on the anime landscape at the time, many mecha shows wanted to go into a more abstract and esoteric direction or just have a similar structure to Eva. I bring this up now because remember the midsection of Eva where it was a "What Angel are we fighting against this week" show? Y'know, a monster of the week. So imagine that, but for 15+ episodes! Argento Soma becomes so formulaic after Ryu joins Funeral, it was by far the worst part of Argento Soma. The show withholds plot relevant details from you, but sprinkles bits and pieces of clues throughout the show that are somewhat vague. Mr. X knows a lot more than what he lets on and is usually the one to give clues to Ryu, occasionally. The show just follows a set procedure for a very long time and it was not interesting in the least. The only thing remotely interesting that's going on is that Ryu is trying to kill Frank the entire time. Which is where the "revenge" factor comes from. I like that part of Ryu's character. He wants to avenge Maki and he feels that he can't move on without doing so. Funeral discovers Frank with Hattie and uses Frank to fight against the alien threat. They then name him the "X-1." Ryu is so bitter and angsty during this time, but I don't blame the guy. The experience would've been better if the soundtrack started playing Hoobastank or Shinedown whenever he showed up on screen. Fucking hilarious. During the final stretch of episodes the show becomes more plot-centric. Big reveals start to happen at this point, which I didn't care too much about. There's a dark secret about the alien threat and the mechs that the characters have been piloting that is rather similar to Eva. I won't spoil what that secret is, but it surprising and unsurprising at the same time. A few twists near the end that did catch me off guard. *Pssssssst* There's a traitor within the group. And a timeskip ending and epilouge that I thought was pretty good, but by that point I wanted it to end so badly. That midsection was terrible and difficult to sit through. This show is also very slow and plotting. It could've done so much more with it's runtime, but it mostly just wastes it. Now for the technical aspects of Argento Soma, the production value is okay. Just okay. It's passable. Argento Soma is a Sunrise anime made in the year 2000. Looking through their catalog they've made better looking shows even around this time period. Inuyasha was made by the same studio and it was released the same year and that show looks leagues better than this. Even Escaflowne came out four years prior and that show is gorgeous! Also made by Sunrise. Escaflowne made my eyeballs cum while this show was just average looking the entire way through. Art design and animation are all fine. The entire production is nothing remarkable, but I do like the character designs. To compensate for the lackluster visuals and animation, the characters designs, mech designs, and the alien designs are pretty detailed and distinctive, in my opinion. Despite the aliens looking the exact same way which kills the oppurtunity to have some variety. Eva, at the very least, gives all of the Angels unique forms throughout the show. I was hoping Argento Soma would do the same, but nope. And finally the soundtrack. It's surprising good. The only song I do not appreciate is the ED "Horizon." I think sounds very obnoxious and doesn't match the tone of the show at all. It's a very upbeat and brassy song and it feels very misplaced. Argento Soma overall is pretty slow, dark, ominous, and contemplative. Horizon is the last song I want to hear at the end of each episode. Easy skip for me. Everything else is pretty solid. It's nothing special but I enjoyed the OP, Silent Wind. Most of the score for this anime is very French and R&B inspired. It's all killer no filler kinda sorta!!! These are most of thoughts and opinions on Argento Soma and I don't feel like talking about it anymore. Despite the relatively low score for MAL, a hearty healthy 6.77, this show has a very devoted cult following. I don't entirely get it. I think these people are seeing something that isn't really there or they're desperately trying to convince themselves that the show is a true work of art. 6 out of 10. It really isn't as bad as I'm making it out to be. It's far from amazing, but it's better than Raxephon and MUCH easier to watch. So yeah, I'm tired. Bye bye. My scores: Story: 5/10 Art: 6/10 Sound: 7/10 Characters: 4/10 Enjoyment: 4/10 Overall: 6/10

(81/167 eps)
Gimme a moment so I can gather my thoughts and bearings and my bear rings. As a whole, Inuyasha is not a very good anime. Oooooooh sugar honey ice tea!!! I went there, biiiiiiiaaaatch!!! Originally I was going to make a joke about nostalgia goggles, but then I realized how condescending and stupid that statement would be and left it out. I watched half of this as a *cough* *cough* year old man, so I don't have the fond memories of watching Inuyasha and the gang finding the Sacred Jewel Shards for eons and eons. I'm going to make this a "somewhat" quick review because
...
I only watched half of it and it doesn't seem entirely fair for me to speak upon it. Y'know what, fuck it. I've done stuff like this in the past, so who cares.
Young whipper snapper, Kagome Higurashi, is transported to the Sengoku period of Nippon and encounters a half demon/half dog dude by the name of Inuyasha. You see, Inuyasha doesn't have the best of intentions. He was caught trying to steal this really unimportant item. It's called the Sacred Jewel. You probably won't have to remember the name. It's very insignificant and will have no effect on the plot whatsoever. He's caught red handed by the stunningly beautiful and graceful shinto priest, Kikiyo. She had to put the doggy down, and when I say "put the doggy down" I mean shoot him with an arrow and have him be stuck on a tree for a while. Kagome saves Inuyasha years after the squabble with Kikiyo. One thing leads to another and now they're on the long, long, long, long, long, long, long looooooooong journey of collecting all of the Sacred Jewel Shards. They were smashed into pieces (This is my last resort!) because some demented dickhead wanted them for himself and now they're scattered everywhere. GREAT! So yeah. That's it. Sorta. The early period of Inuyasha (The first 24 episodes) are just world-building, introducing the lore, introducing the main cast of characters, and how Kagome and Inuyasha meet them. It's a not a bad start. Nothing incredible yet, but this early period of the show is definitely the best of what I saw. You have Shippo, a little fox boy who can shape shift. Miroku, a perverted buddhist and booty grabber of Sango. Sango, a yokai hunter who wields a giant boomerang and occasionally gets her booty groped. We also have H̶a̶p̶p̶o̶s̶a̶i̶ Myoga, who's a flea and every now and again pops up to join the group. He's also a pervert, because why not. And Kaede, who is the younger sister of Kikiyo. There's a few more characters they meet along their journey, but those are the most prominent people in the gang. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother, who's a heartthrob and a half. Good god, he stole the heart of every young woman watching that show and I can see why. Have you seen those eyes!? You can get lost in them and he can fuck you just by glaring at you! Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru is a 100% genuine demon. Inuyasha's initial goal was to use the Sacred Jewel Shards to become a full fledged demon. For the few times that Sesshomaru appears he gracefully hands Inuyasha's canine ass to him on silver platter. Once Inuyasha possesses the Tetsusaiga he sorta kinda maybe almost probably stands a chance against his brother. The Tetsusaiga immediately becomes his staple weapon. Here's the major issue I have with this anime and it all comes down to how it's written. It reminds me of another Takahashi work, Ranma ½. With the way Rumiko Takahashi writes, both series have the tendency to waste time and drag out for an eternity. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about. The main villain of Inuyasha is a stupid fuckface named Naraku. Inuyasha and the gang had a side objective of capturing Naraku since he's a stupid fuckface and all. I can't even remember the reason why the gang is after him, that's how long this goes on. After the first 24 episodes, Naraku is introduced and the gang has to catch him. They make zero progress in catching the man for the next 50+ episodes! That is embarrassing and pathetic. I heard this goes on for even longer than that. Now one of three things will typically happen within these 50+ episodes and it becomes very apparent what the show is trying to do. 1.) Inuyasha and the gang will be so tantalizingly close in catching the motherfucker, but they can't do it because Naraku has the poisonous insects that surrounds him and if anyone tries to touch him, they're dead. He gets away. 2.) Inuyasha and the gang will be right behind Naraku when entering a town and he ends up causing mischief before he leaves. He'll usually have some kind of curse or cause some kind of damage to the town and the gang has to fix the problem. They usually do so with their fists. 3.) Inuyasha and the gang encounters one of Naraku's henchmen and fight to the gosh dang death. Except they don't, because they always flee when they lose or become aware that they're outmatched. This goes on for so long! The same things happen over and over and over again. It became so slow, sluggish, and painful to sit through. I soon realized that just like Ranma ½, this show loves to waste the time of the viewer. No one should ever sit through something like this. For Nakaru to conveniently slip out of their hands every single time!? So stupid and mind-numbing. This show is the epitome of a time vampire. Even from the very beginning before Naraku showing up, the show was never that interesting. Collecting a valuable item that scattered into a million pieces across the world? Haven't heard that one before! It all becomes so monotonous and repetitive. I got almost no joy out of any of it. At least with Ranma I had fun. It was stupid fun, but fun, regardless. I skipped a few extra details and running gags I didn't find all that funny. Like the magic collar or leash that Kagome has on Inuyasha. All Kagome has to say is "Sit" and Inuyasha eats dirt like a chump. She usually does this whenever she's very upset with him. It happens all the time and it's played off as a joke. I never found it funny. Some positives I will mention. The action animation and artwork look pretty good. The backgrounds are beautiful to look at when you're not in the forest. And trust me, the characters are in the forest quite often. Some of the music is good, like "Change The World" and "Owari Nai Yume." That's about it. All of the characters, with an exception of a few, have their own shitcks or archetypal anime traits we've all seen before. Inuyasha is the hot blooded shounen protagonist who thinks with his fists, asks questions with his fists, files his taxes with his fist, and fucks mad bitches with his fist. Inuyasha loves fisting. He's also a borderline male tsundere to Kagome. He pretends that he doesn't care about Kagome, but he really does. It's a will they won't they situation. It's boring. Kagome is an actual tsundere and I can't say she was fun to watch. She obtains a weapon at some point, so she's not entirely useless. Myoga was just Happosai. Shippo was like the annoying little brother of the group. I wasn't a huge fan of most of the cast. And that's how I mostly feel about Inuyasha. In conclusion, Inuyasha is a long-winded shounen that's pretty boring and not all that enjoyable to sit through. Sounds like a lot of my reviews lol. Even when I compare it to other shounen I've seen it's definitely near the bottom in ranking. I guess Inuyasha can ligma. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ligma nuts. :P My scores: Story: 3/10 Art: 8/10 Sound: 5/10 Characters: 4/10 Enjoyment: 2/10 Overall: 4/10

Black Magic M-66

Mixed Feelings
"My favorite anime of 2021 is Osama bin Laden Ranking."
- Neimaj, 2022 I'm not sure what I was expecting when I saw the cover art and the title for this OVA. Black Magic M-66 is gonna be the name of my new indie metal band; talk about a sick name. Very straightforward anime here. Sexy, naked, tanned, anime lady Sybel is hoping to get a new big story or scoop for whatever news channel she's working for. It's never really clarified who she works for, but it doesn't matter. She discovers that the military is hiding some kind of secret weapon and tries to get more ... information out of the situation by spying on the military. She does this with the help of her not so helpful partner in crime. He's not important at all and you don't need to remember his name. Turns out, the military was hiding these robot assassins that go on an insane killing spree once they escape, and it was fascinating to watch. The fight choreography and animation of the robots were pretty damn good. The military stood no chance and it was a solid gold ass whooping. If I could describe this entire OVA in one phrase it would be, "Discount Terminator." The robots have a specific target they must kill, which is the granddaughter of the man who created them. I can't remember why they're after her, but Sybel encounters her and protects her for the entire episode. It was a fun 48 minutes. If you just want to watch a stone-cold, cybernetic killing machine causing a lot of collateral damage to kill a single girl for 40 minutes with above-average animation, be my guest. It was cool. The robot is absolutely terrifying because of the amount of resources and tricks they had to use to actually put the thing down. Other than that, it doesn't have that much substance and is lacking a real story. It has no real rewatch value and everything I said in this review is the OVA. The OST is mediocre, nothing special. I'm not sure what compelled me to write this review. Definitely one of my shorter ones. I would give Black Magic M-66 a light recommendation. 6 out of 10.

Bungou Stray Dogs
(Anime)

Mixed Feelings
Before we get started I just want to mention the irrelevant fact that I was born in the 90's, okay. I grew up in the 90's and I'm going to tell everyone. Did I mention that I was born in the 90's yet? 10 Top Things Only 90's Kids Will Remember!!!! Number 3 will fuck your dad!!!!! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. If you have ever said that in an anime review, you need to get that fuckshit outta here. Nobody cares, just talk about the anime and get to the point. Stop wasting my time! Number 3 was Rocko's
...
Modern Life, if anyone cares. Anyway, Bungou Stray Dogs. スタート
I understand there's more to the story. This is just a smaller piece to an even larger narrative, I completely understand, but as it's own stand-alone story, season one of Bungou Stray Dogs was a pretty underwhelming and lukewarm experience. I still like it, regardless. On the surface, it clearly seemed like something I would've loved and revisited for years to come. After watching the first two episodes I was getting strong Kekkai Sensen vibes and set my expectations pretty high. On paper, this entire show is pretty damn cool, but in execution, it's meh. Minor spoilers. Just minor ones, I promise. But if you're reading this, chances are you've already seen the show. When I was in the middle of watching this show, a thought came to my head. I'm under the distinct impression that this show cares more about style rather than substance. When it comes to the setting and world of Bungou Stray Dogs, it felt like I wasn't properly introduced and established to anything. It's just about a group of people who work for a detective agency doing cool shit on screen. I'm skipping a few details and there is a story here, but my point is, this show never gives you a good enough reason to care about what's going on in the actual story. And it also doesn't give you a good reason to care about these characters. Atsushi is a rather unique example when it comes to this, because in episode one, the show explains to the audience of Atsushi's past, background, and trauma. It's a very disheartening and sad story, but as a character, not a fan. Sorry. If I'm being entirely sincere I'm not a fan of his personality and character traits. I've watched too much anime at this point to care about another low self-esteem, self-loathing, and self-doubting teenager playing the lead of an anime. I've seen it too many times and it becomes more and more unconvincing each time I see it. It makes me groan and roll my eyes. At least the show gives you a reason to care about Atsushi and over time he begins to evolve into a young man with a little more confidence and skill. Near the end of the first season, you begin to realize that he becomes less dependent on his other co-workers and that was nice to see. He still needs help every once and a while, but hey, progress. :P Osamu Dazai was disappointing. You'll hear me say that a few more times about these characters. Obviously, there's a lot more under the surface of his character. However in this season, you get NOTHING. Just a tease, but essentially nothing. It's like asking the anime, "Hey, do you think you could maybe flesh out Dazai's character just a little more?" And then the anime is like, "Oh, sure thing, bro!" And then they fax you a picture of a monkey pissing in it's own face. It was the writing equivalent of that. It was fun. *Winky face* I'll say this right now so I can get this out of my system. Dazai is not funny. Humor is subjective yes, yes, yes, but this show's attempts at humor are just like Dazai's suicide attempts...it fails. What's the best thing about Alzheimer's disease? You meet new people everyday. Seeeeeeeeeeee? That's a good one, you gotta admit. That joke alone is a lot better than most of the humor that came out of this show. Dazai's infatuation with suicide is very peculiar. I was told by a friend that it makes more sense if you read the novels written by the actual Osamu Dazai, but uh.......................... I don't care. Don't do that. No, no, no. Don't do that. Don't make read a bunch of novels to understand a character from an anime. I'm not going to jump into a book that will take up many hours of my time so I can fully understand the actions of a character I don't care about. I could be JO-ing to Naomi during those hours. If you're curious about my JO schedule, send me a message, we can sort this out. I'm positive more is explained in the later seasons, but all that tells me so far is that you can't write compelling characters without leaning on the contexts of pre-existing novels. Not cool. His suicide shtick is not funny and it gets old quick. The suicide stuff reminded me of Itoshiki-sensei. Both characters have a deep fascination with death and suicide. Both even keep a catalog of who they might possibly have a double suicide with. And after thinking about Itoshiki-sensei for a while, that made dislike Dazai just a little bit more. It's a weird parallel, I know. And I hope it's okay that I talk about Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei for a quick second. This will sound pretty messed up considering I'm talking about suicide, but Itoshiki's suicide attempts were actually explained and felt more justified than Dazai's. Suicide is a major theme of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, especially the early parts of the series, because Itoshiki would give valid reasons for his attempts even if it was exaggerated for the sake of comedy. Even if you don't find that show funny, it makes perfect sense. The suicidal aspect of Itoshiki's character would slowly fade over time, so it became less relevant. Dazai wants to kill himself just for the sake of it, with a beautiful woman. That's all. Nothing more. You can laugh now. I'm sure the kids find it funny. I can't stand Dazai. And yes, I'm fully aware that one of the many inspirations of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai. I just think Itoshiki is a more convincing and well-written character. I can feel the "Edginess" of Dazai oozing from the screen. Not a fan. None of the other characters are all that fleshed out, as well. They all just feel like one-note characters rather than people. I don't care about any of them. The show doesn't give you a reason to care about them or what's going on. Hell, two characters that I did enjoy on some level, Junichirou and Naomi disappear for most of the show and pop up out of nowhere near the end like nothing happened. I'm trying my best not to get into spoilers. I especially missed Naomi. She's a real cutie with a nice ass. I'd give her a good poke, if you know what I'm sayin'? And the mole on her face was a nice touch. I don't hate all of these characters, I just feel they're flashy and not very nuanced. Ranpo seemed liked a pretty cool dude. He reminds me of myself. Someone who acts a lot younger than what they actually are, and is kind of a lazy asshole. DAT ME HAHAHA. We don't get much of him, but I enjoyed him. There isn't much to his character, anyway. There was a great scene later into the season where the president of the agency was trying to convince Ranpo to do an assignment and Ranpo refused. So the president tells him that if he cooperates, he will give him praise. And Ranpo widens his eyes, does the slow turn to the president, and says, "Why didn't you say so sooner!" With a huge grin on his face. Excellent scene. Can't fully explain why I love it so much. The show also introduces a few one-off characters throughout the show. The one-off character would be the central focus of an episode and have some connection to the assignment the gang is working on. If you just pay attention to what's going on and don't look away for a second, it's pretty obvious what's going to happen in the climax of the episode. There's usually a twist, but if you see it coming, like I always did, you'll feel almost nothing afterwards. It tries to pull the "dramatic irony twist" to get you emotional. That kind of storytelling is not inherently a bad thing, I just think Bungou Stray Dogs' writing is not clever enough to pull it off well. Akutagawa, the big bad villain, was also disappointing. You want some cheese with all that whine, good sir? There's a clear connection between Dazai and Akutagawa. They both worked with each other at some point, and now, Akutagawa despises Dazai, which I can understand lol. He is jealous of Dazai's new protégé, Atsushi. All because he wanted to impress Dazai? I believe that was the reason. Can't quite remember at this point. If I'm remembering this correctly, and that was his motivation for most of what he did, he was a very unimpressive and unmemorable villain. He gave me a good fright when he was first introduced, but where he ends up was just disappointing. Also they just straight-up named a character F. Scott Fitzgerald. Are you fucking kidding me? Wow, that's not even subtle at all. It's not really an issue I have with the show, it just made me facepalm when I came to that realization. I just watched The Great Gatsby the other day and mentioned it in a previous review. Something weird is going on. And yes, they also named a character Osamu Dazai, I know. But I feel that there's a little more obscurity when it comes to his name compared to F. Scott Fitzgerald. And I don't care if you were already familiar with Osamu Dazai before watching this show. There's a greater chance of someone not understanding the Osamu Dazai reference compared to the F. Scott Fitzgerald reference. That's all I'm trying to say. The latter just feels more forced to me. Who hasn't read The Great Gatsby!? You can easily make the argument that Osamu Dazai is a very well-known and famous author, and I agree with you. I just feel that on a worldwide scale, there's plenty of authors who are more recognized than he is. Jane Austen, John Steinbeck, George Orwell, Shel Silverstein, fucking Dr. Suess, and F. Scott Fitzgerald! I'm not trying to disregard Dazai, I just don't think his name is as universal as some people say. It's all a matter of perspective and how you came to discover someone and at what time. This show really likes making literature references, huh? The animation and art design is one positive I can mention about this show. Everything looked beautiful and polished, very pleasing to my gross, disgusting eyeballs that watch too much anime. I knew I recognized those character designs. The characters in this show look just like the ones from Soul Eater. I thought that was nice. Action scenes are well animated, but I wasn't surprised about that at all, considering it was Bones. They always deliver a good fight scene. I can't really complain about the visuals in this anime, it all looks great. Even the OP and ED look pretty good, despite the fact that I'm not a fan of the OP. Yep, sorry. It's really the song that I don't like. It just doesn't sound very good. Not my thing when I comes to music. And I think that's mostly it. There's some other stuff I could briefly mention, but it's nothing noteworthy, just one-off comments. Bungou Stray Dogs gets a 6 out of 10 for me. It was a 7 at some point and slowly went down. What I learned today: I would more than likely eat Naomi out. The rest of my scores: Story: 4/10 Art: 8/10 Sound: 5/10 Characters: 4/10 Enjoyment: 6/10 Overall: 6/10

Princess Lover!
(Anime)
add
Not Recommended
I already finished this show and I just now looked at how many users Princess Lover has. Holy Jesus! Did I miss something? Over 100,000 users! I feel like I'm out of the loop here. And the score is not all that great, considering the large amount of people who watched this. Princess Lover is serviceable. I legitimately had fun with the show, but at it's core, it all just feels very shallow. I mean, I already had that idea going into it. On the surface it looks like any other generic late 2000's ecchi series, and it was just that, sorta. I'm conflicted, because
...
I had a good time with the show, but I can't say a lot positive things about it.
Teppei Arima loses his parents in a terrible accident and he is forced to move in with his well off grandfather. He transfers to a prestigious highschool of snobby rich kids, and slowly learns they way of the wealthy life. It's like that one scene in The Great Gatsby, Teppei adopts many of the fancy mannerisms to fit in with his peers and over time, he adapts to his new environment. He encounters this beautiful girl who looks just like the vampire chick from Rosario to Vampire, named Charlotte Hazerlink. She's a cute little princess who quickly falls in love with Teppei and yada yada yada. She's not my favorite girl in the group, that honor goes to Syliva van Hossen. She's a perfect example of how this show puts a lot emphasis on big ass. It's very rare that an anime does that, they mostly focus on the tits. I greatly appreciate that. Sylvia is Teppei's fiancée and she has a great respect for Teppei, because while other boys were financially successful and had parents, he was studying the blade. He's also a good sparring partner for her in fencing. She's a cute tomboy with a deep voice and is definitely best girl, fight me. And then you have the rejects, I MEAN, other girls you should care about. Like Seika Houjouin. When Teppei first transfered to the school, Seika immediately saw him for who he truly was, a commoner, and treated him as such. During the early parts of the show she had a very rotten personality and has these two sidekicks that stay by her side all of the time. And guess what, as the series goes on she falls in love with Teppei and becomes slightly less of a spiteful meanie. She's okay. And the last one I'll mention because I'm already sick of talking about these characters, Yuu Fujikura. She's the head maid of the Arima estate. A soft spoken and mild mannered girl who would've been my favorite if Syliva wasn't there. Shockingly, the show is well made and I got in a few laughs, but other than that, I can't say many positive things about it. Alfred (Charlotte's butler) was an absolute riot to watch. His obsession with Charlotte was very entertaining and how he acts like an overprotective grandfather. There's a goofy scene that happens later in the show where Teppei and Alfred do rock, paper, scissors in the middle of the action to see who gets to ride the motorcycle and chase after Charlotte. It was a scene that made me smile for how out of nowhere it all was. The girls are unbelievably cute and they all have nice asses which I mentioned earlier. Almost forgot about these two guys that were working with the villain who were incredibly kind to Charlotte. They also went to medical school and play a semi-important role later on. It was fun watching them be goofy. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that's it. That's all I can say about Good Old Fashioned Princess Lover Boy. It's not offensively bad in anyway, it's just nothing substantial. Nothing happens for most of the show and it's not until the last four episodes when the plot kicks in. The villain was lame. His actions were a little predictable, and the reveal in the last episode I also called relatively early. Just like writing this review, watching this show felt pointless. Why am I still writing? Why are you still reading this? Is anyone even listening to me? Please leave.

Spoiler
This is a type of torturing method they would use in Guntanamo Bay. They play Princess Resurrection on loop endlessly to the prisoners and the experience is so bad, you have to get a spoon and shove it up your eye; to distract yourself from the pain. What a great anime to review in the month of October. Around the same time last year, I was watching an amazing suspense/horror anime called Shiki. Now I'm watching this. This isn't the worst anime I've seen, but it was very difficult to sit through. I couldn't even muster up the strength to finish it. This review won't
...
go into any major spoilers, because I don't want to talk about this anime for too long.
Young, wet behind the ears, Hiro Hiyorimi, dies trying to save a beautiful princess by the name of Hime. She comes from a demonic family of royals. Hime brings Hiro back to life by making him half immortal, which in this case, I'd rather be dead than be half immortal. You see, the catch is that Hiro's "immortality" is limited. He is only living through borrowed time and has to be revived by Hime every few days. Otherwise, he will die permanently. He is essentially a battery that needs to be recharged every few days. And through weird circumstances, Hiro, and his older sister Sawawa, now work for and live under Hime. Hime as a character is pretty uninteresting. She's the stoic, cold-hearted princess who doesn't care for most things, especially other people. Unless you work for her, then she might possibly, maybe, perhaps, sorta like you. And on a Friday evening. You're also introduced to characters like Flandre, an android who works as a maid and can only say "Huga" and that's it. Why is this the case? It's never really explained. Flandre's older sister, Francisca, is also the same way. You have other characters like Riza, a werewolf half breed, and without going into spoilers, during her first appearance she despises Hime and tries to kill her. And once again, through weird circumstances she ends up living and working under her. You have Reiri, this completely innocuous and inconspicuous vampire chick who probably has the tightest pussy on planet Earth, and is clearly not planning Hime's demise. Reiri obviously plays a bigger role in the story and a lot of the conflict in this anime is connected to her. This isn't a spoiler, it's pretty obvious during the episode she's introduced in. You can tell there's much more going on in the background, but the anime wants to stay mysterious for the vast majority of it. I'm positive, that if I stuck it out just a little bit longer it all would've been explained. However, and I'm being nice here, this show is such a snorefest, my god! Most of the eighteen episodes I watched were episodic. Each episode would typically play out like this. The characters will be minding their own business in Hime's mansion. Since she's royal blood, monsters and other demonic creatures of hell would want to suckle on her blue blooded teet. Her blood gives unbelievable power to anyone who drinks it. A monster attacks the mansion, and then the main characters win through stale, sluggish, and stiffly animated battles that drag on for an eternity. This happens a lot and it very quickly becomes repetitive. This is a horror, action series but the action is one of the many weak points of this anime. It does action so poorly and everything is so stiff. And the monsters that attack Hime's mansion are ordinary mummies, sea monsters, werewolves, etc. Nothing scary in the least. None of the characters are all that compelling and are written all that well. I skipped quite a few of them, but they're not worth mentioning. Characters are never quite on model, especially during the action scenes. This entire show is painful to look at most of the time. Boring, uninspired soundtrack, with the exception of one song. This one song is the only great positive I can give this show. "Hizamazuite Ashi Wo Oname" or "Kneel Down and lick my Feet." The ED for this show, AMAZING. This show doesn't deserve an ED like this. And it's one of the very few instances where the characters look good and it's well animated. One of the best ED's I've seen in a while. It has incredible lyrics such as: "Kneel down and lick my crimson nails" "With your tangled tongue, and call me your queen." This is just the very first line of the song. I can get down with that. (〃￣ω￣〃) Pure sadism. Nice. The frantic melody of the song mixed with the singer's beautiful and operatic voice makes the song sound so good. I love it. That's the only good thing I can say about this show. Also Riza dancing in front of the camera is pure gold. Like a late 90's hip hop music video. I thought giving this a "3" was pretty harsh, but it was so difficult to sit through. Very little of it was enjoyable to me. It's a pretty bad sign if it's starting to become painful to sit through. It's also riddled with tropes that we've all seen a trillion times, but here, it's much more egregious for how forced it all was. This show definitely deserves a 3 out of 10. It feels a bit arbitrary, yes, but a "2" and a "3" are pretty much interchangeable for me. I've seen worse anime out there, but this sucked. My scores: Story: 3/10 Art: 3/10 Sound: 4/10 (The ED got me through some of the show) Characters: 3/10 Enjoyment: 2/10 Overall: 3/10

*SPOILERS INCOMING*
More like Rumbling Farts, am I right? Comedy genius, I know. But in all seriousness, this is a great romance anime. Just the first two episodes alone were absolutely fantastic. Main character, Narumi Takayuki is confessed to a girl by the name of H̶a̶r̶u̶h̶i̶ Haruka Suzumiya. Haruka was introduced to Narumi by her best friend, Mitsuki Hayase, and when Haruka confesses her love for Narumi, they immediately hit it off. I’m truly shocked at how quickly the romance in this anime progresses. This anime accomplishes more in just two episodes than what most romance shows can do in twelve episodes, twenty-four, hell even forty-eight ... episodes. Which is another perfect example of why Kimagure Orange Road is a god-awful romance anime! Man, oh man, I always find some way to punch that anime in the gut. Don’t you just love watching an anime where it takes an entire season for the characters to actually hook up, acknowledging the fact that they’re in a relationship and hold hands for the first time? Maybe even kiss for the first time? It’s so fulfilling to watch, sure, but Haruka and Narumi’s relationship blossoms so quickly that they’re French kissing in episode one, and by episode two they’re fucking! Unprotected sex, as well. Don't we all like it raw? However, while waiting for Narumi to show up for their date, one day, Haruka is tragically hit by car, and the aftermath is gruesome. Once it’s revealed that Haruka was the victim, the music cuts in with impeccable timing and my jaw dropped when this scene happened. It reminded me of the scene from Hunter x Hunter when Killua threatened to kill Sadaso and Hunting For Your Dream by Galneryus came on at the perfect moment. For Rumbling Hearts, it was just so… unexpected. It was “almost” an entirely wholesome love story. And there was no OP or ED for the first and beginning of the second episode, by the way. What an amazing but also upsetting way to end an episode like that. An extremely bold decision. And I respect that. Haruka survives the accident, but she ends up in a coma as a result. The show does a three-year time skip where Narumi and Mitsuki start a relationship and Haruka is pretty much forgotten with time. That is, until she wakes up. Things get very complicated after this point, and it would be difficult to explain what happens. In my opinion, the rest of the show is not as strong as the first two episodes and slowly teeters out after a while. However, the whole thing is rather impressive for a romance anime and the ending is heart-warming. My thoughts on Narumi as a character are mostly positive. Despite being only fifty minutes of content, I loved seeing his relationship with Haruka develop at the beginning of the show. After the accident with Haruka, Narumi became a nervous wreck, until he starts a relationship with Mitsuki. He gets a job working at a family restaurant and everything is normal. Mitsuki is also a bit of a nervous wreck, as well. Pre-time skip she was the big swimming star of her school, but eventually quit and got an office job. When she isn’t at school, she’s with Narumi and they also make a good couple. Haruka, the girl I prefer more than Mitsuki, is a sweetheart. Sorry for not being an unbiased party, dawg. Haruka is in the hospital for the vast majority of the series and is the quintessential reason for the conflict and drama between the characters. When she awakens, she handles the situation quite well for someone who got caught up in a traumatic accident and lost three years of her life. There are other characters like Akane, Haruka’s little sister. Pre-time skip Akane is pretty enjoyable and fun to watch, but post-time skip Akane is a lot more bitter and stoic after her sister’s accident. Completely understandable. One last character I’ll briefly mention is Daikuuji. She’s… peculiar. She has the tendency of having these crazy, unhinged outbursts and telling people to step in cat shit. That insult is oddly specific and also questionable. She is hot, though. Blondé hair with nice tits. I just love the entire concept of this anime and the character dynamics. It’s all so good. The visuals themselves are not the show’s strong suit. Early 2000’s anime have the habit of being a tad ugly. Not all, but many. For a story like this, the visual department and animation is not completely important. This was very refreshing to watch, and I know I’ve been saying that the past few times, but it really was. I’ve not mentioned the music because it’s one of the weaker aspects of this anime. It’s not bad in any way, just nothing substantial and worth mentioning. My scores: Story: 8/10 Art: 6/10 Sound: 5/10 Character: 8/10 Enjoyment: 8/10 Overall: 8/10

Jul 28, 2021 Mixed Feelings
Finally, I'm at the last film. And I gotta say, didn't realize I was watching Ranma ½ and the secret movie I didn't hear about. That was a stupid joke, but I'll explain why I mentioned that in a second. To be perfectly frank, there's nothing really substantial to mention about this film, except for the fact that Urusei Yatsura Movie 6: Always My Darling was made for the ten year anniversary of the Urusei Yatsura anime. I thought that was pretty special and worth mentioning. Minor Spoilers.
I'll keep this short, the storyline behind this film feels like they took specific parts of previous Urusei ... Yatsura films and stitched them together to make...this. I won't summarize the plot, because I'll sound like a broken record, but if you made it this far into Urusei Yatsura and read the synopsis for this film, you know exactly what's going to happen. None of it was bad in any way, but you've seen it all before. It had some goofy moments that made laugh, and some sad moments that made me a little emotional. It's just Urusei Yatsura, that's all. The story wasn't exceptional, but it wasn't underwhelming either. It was just mediocre. I do love the scene where Ataru tricks his entire class and manipulates them into doing random stuff for the love potion. Mendo threatens to kill Ataru if he doesn't tell him where it is, but Ataru can't tell them where it is if he's dead, so he takes advantage of them. That was a great scene, but it didn't last all that long. The music is not worth mentioning. It sounds just like the other songs from the last couple of films. Something that is worth mentioning are the character designs. I love them! I briefly mentioned in my last review that over time, the character designs, with each film were becoming more refined and expressive. I think the characters look fine in any specific way they're drawn; even in the first film. Always My Darling did an excellent job at giving these characters a more updated 90's look, it fits them very well. It looks like I'm watching Ranma ½! They have the exact same character designs, and at this point, Takahashi's art style had changed a lot over a decade. This film was okay. It had it's moments, but it wasn't all that good. I'm still putting it ahead of Remember My Love, because that film feels so uninspired and dry compared to the other films. Keep in mind, the gap in quality between Remember My Love and Always My Darling is not that big. I'm giving it a slight edge, only because I found more enjoyment out of this film. And with that, I'M DONE REVIEWING THESE MOVIES! Took some time, and a few pair of eyeballs, but I'm done. This movie gets a 6 out of 10. I'm gonna go watch Ranma ½ for the umpteenth time. Later, fuckfaces (￣▽￣)ノ. Movies: 3 < 6 < 1 < 4 < 2 < 5 Story: 4/10 Art: 7/10 Sound: 5/10 Characters: 6/10 Enjoyment: 7/10 Overall: 6/10

Apparently, this film adapts the final story arc of the Urusei Yatsura manga, but it's not the final film. Go figure. This was great film! Probably my favorite Urusei Yatsura movie, so far. And yes, I liked it more Beautiful Dreamer. I'm going to summarize this entire film and give my thoughts along the way, because it's definitely worth talking about. So, no shit, I'm going to spoil the whole thing. I saw the 7.46 score and thought to myself, "Okay, I'll bite. What the heckie is going on in this motion picture!?"
I've been marathoning and writing reviews for these films back to back ... and I've noticed two particular motifs. Either the world is falling apart by time and space being altered and manipulated. Lum is often connected to why the Earth is falling apart in the first place. Or it's a marriage plotline. This film is the latter. At least, it was for the first-half. A gross, decrepit old man meets a young Lum on her home planet, promising that he will return for her when she becomes older. In present day, present time ha ha ha ha ha 1988, Lum receives a message from her father, telling her that her great-grandfather has been found and he's been in a deep, cold sleep for twenty years. I'd like to quickly mention that the character designs in this film look great. I've noticed with time, the characters begin to look less sloppy and much more refined; especially after the first two films. Lum's father tells his grandfather that he has a great-granddaughter is coming by to visit them. This news terrifies Lum's great-grandfather, and it's revealed that one hundred and twenty years ago, Lum's great-grandfather made an agreement to the gross, decrepit old man, that if a girl is ever born in the family, the old man will take the girl for himself. I forgot to mention that the old man was young during that flashback one hundred and twenty years ago. It's difficult to tell, because he's always wearing a dark cloak and has the same goofy ass face. I thought this was a bit strange, because Lum's mother was also an option, but no one really mentions that. You can consider that a plothole, but the old man, at the very beginning of the film, said to Lum specifically, when she was a child, that he was going to return to HER when she got older. The man's got an excellent memory. Introducing Rupa, the reason for why the old man is so adamant on capturing Lum. Master Rupa is the great-grandson of the old man and when the boy was young, he gave his great-grandson a pendant with a picture of Lum on it. He tells Rupa that he will someday marry this girl when he's older. And you ain't gonna believe this shit mutha fucka, but Rupa shows up to Earth, so he can take Lum for himself. Ataru feels a little out of character in this film, because he's so against someone else trying to confess their love to Lum, and stealing her away from him. Why would Ataru care? He's a womanizer. If anything, he should happy that someone is trying to steal her. However, Ataru is jealous, and he doesn't want anyone taking Lum. Before Rupa leaves on his chariot of Ryogas (If you've seen Ranma ½ you'll get that reference) he slips a ring onto Lum's finger, that slowly drains her of her powers. Her horns come off, meaning she has no powers. Rupa shows up once more with feeling, and steals Lum. Remember that Lum loses her horns here, this will be important later. I don't understand why Benten and Oyuki show up every time Lum is in trouble. Strange how they have such impeccable timing. Anyway, they both show up and Lum is nowhere to be found. And right before they show up, Ataru tries to bribe Mendo into giving up his spaceship to save Lum. This scene is hilarious because he gives Mendo a bag filled with many phone numbers and addresses of women in Tomobiki. Ataru and the gang decide to take the easy route and save Lum with Benten and Oyuki. They all travel to Rupa's planet, which I'm going to call the Mushroom Kingdom. It makes sense in context. Rupa and his great-grandfather want to guarantee a successful marriage, so they clone Lum just in case the real Lum causes problems, and the clone is completely submissive. During this time, Ataru and the gang make it to the Mushroom Kingdom and are almost immediately captured by the royal guards, except for Ataru. Ataru escapes and meets a completely psychotic woman by the name of Carla. Carla is in love with Rupa, and it's a whole unrequited love situation. Carla is going to pretend to marry Ataru to make Rupa jealous. Are you confused yet? Trust me it makes sense in context. Ataru and Carla interrupt Lum and Rupa's wedding which gave me a déjà vu moment, because it reminds me of the climax of the first Urusei Yatsura film. Unlike the first Urusei Yatsura film, it takes an upsetting turn for the worse, when the real Lum is replaced by a clone. Ataru tells Lum, not knowing he's talking to a clone, that she needs to come home and not marry Rupa. She tells Ataru to piss off and this devastates Ataru, to the point where he actually plans on marrying Carla, just to get back at Lum. The real Lum hears about this and she plans to stay with Rupa, just to get back at Ataru. Ataru and Lum now hate each other and Ataru leaves Lum at the Mushroom Kingdom. After this point, Ataru and the gang go back to Earth, including Carla. The movie slows down for a little bit, because the last twenty-five minutes up until this point was pure action. Things calm down for a little bit until Carla, the MVP of this film, brings along these inconspicuous mushrooms that grow to an enormous size when exposed to heat and/or light. Fantastic. So, they end up growing to a massive size. Overnight, the mushrooms take over the town of Tomobiki and the entire world. Lum and Rupa see this, and send a message to the people of Earth. The mushrooms will destroy the planet in ten days, and Rupa as the ability to stop the mushrooms by using the Ryogas. Lum interrupts and tells Ataru that if he can grab her by the horns within the ten day timeframe, Rupa will get rid of the mushrooms. I thought this was a great idea, because it's a callback to the very first episode of Urusei Yatsura. The series did a good job by bringing the storyline home full circle. Ataru also has the alternate choice of telling Lum that he loves her. If he says "I love you" to Lum, then everything is resolved. But he's a prideful asshole, so he refuses to do so. The final act of the film becomes very emotional at this point, but I was thinking to myself, "Why didn't Ataru just use the suction gun like he did in the first episode." I know that would ruin the moment, but it worked the last time. I forgot to mention that Lum also made a back-up plan just in case Ataru failed to grab her by the horns. She has the completely insane plan of using the MEMORY ERASING MACHINE OR WHATEVER to wipe everyone's memory clean. If you were discriminate against pencils, would you be erase-ist? Seems a bit overkill, considering the Earth will fall apart in ten days. It does lead to a pretty hysterical scene where the activation switch was the table that Benten was hitting against. She was trying to prevent it from being activated and accidentally set it off. Great scene, but I'm not going to mention the machine all that much, because it doesn't lead to anything noteworthy. Time is running out quickly and Ataru isn't even close to catching Lum. However, during this time, Rupa discovers Carla on Earth and he apologies for his rude behavior. Carla was madly in love with Rupa and he dismissed her feelings for him. He realized that he was wrong and told Carla that he loves her. This scene kinda comes out of nowhere, but it was pretty romantic. Rupa decides to get rid of the mushrooms anyway, but the relationship between Lum and Ataru still needs fixing. Earlier in the film, when Lum lost her powers and lost her horns, they eventually grew back and she regained her powers. Ataru took her previous horns and used them to stop Lum. Ataru truly cares for Lum, because he had her horns the entire time or whatever. I promise you, it's a genuinely sweet moment, but it's difficult to explain and makes sense in context. Take a shot every time I said that in this review. They make up, and that's how the movie ends. It's also the official ending of Urusei Yatsura and honestly, it was a nice story. What a fantastic film. I'm fully aware that the way I wrote this review, I didn't make it sound all that great. I'm really sorry if this review wasn't all that good, I'm absolutely exhausted from watching and writing all the time. I know that I'm in the minority when saying this, but this is my favorite Urusei Yatsura film, and I found it to be much more enjoyable than the second film. People just loooove Beautiful Dreamer! I'm going to be the outlier here and say this is the superior film. The storyline was much more entertaining and easier to follow. And it was just a nice conclusion to a ridiculous rom-com story like this. It was a heartfelt movie that got me a little emotional with it's amazing climax and ending. Sure the visual direction is not as strong as Beautiful Dreamer, but I feel that people only praise that film for it's visual direction/mind-fuck scenes, the man who directed it, and nothing else. If I'm being entirely honest, the storyline of Beautiful Dreamer is not all that strong. I just see a lot more rewatch and entertainment value in this film compared to the others. I'm so fucking tired. Only one left. This movie gets an 8 out of 10. Highly Recommend. My eyes burn.
