Wandering Witch: Journey of Elaina has reminded me of many lessons I have learned as a kid, but have either chosen to neglect or forget. From teaching the viewers to assume nothing to trying their hardest to overcome challenges, there's a thing or two we can learn from Elaina on her journey. Throughout this anime there is a constant reminder how Elaina thinks she is following her dreams and is working her hardest to pursue it, which has certainly inspired me to do the same. Wandering Witch reminded me of the dreams I had as a child, which I brushed behind me over the years,
...
something maybe I shouldn’t have given up on so easily. It makes me want to pick up where I left off and fulfill the things little Phebe dreamt of. Aside from inspiring themes such as that, wandering witch is accompanied by some beautiful music and animation, which perfectly complements those themes. Although I came to see what I thought was Harry Potter the anime, I walked out with knowledge and an urge to work harder. Despite such a short runtime, this anime does somewhat feel complete, but left an empty feeling inside. Without a second season confirmed, this is where the anime ends and may never return. As Elaina said, Journeys are a series of meetings and farewells, so it was inevitable that we would have to eventually say farewell to Elaina. Wandering Witch was an unexpected surprise to me, going in, I had so little expectations, I thought it was going to be a generic adventure anime, something I thought would be a five out of ten. After watching the anime, I was so pleased to be so wrong, in fact, I believe the real score this anime deserves is a. TEN OUT OF TEN! Wandering Witch Journey of Elaina is an anime I won't be forgetting about anytime soon and will be keeping up with it in case new projects get announced.

WARNING: This review is for BOTH seasons of the anime. There is also a video version if you don't feel like reading all of this (link at the bottom of the page)
Tutoring anime has always been something that has always tickled my curiosity as, throughout junior high to university, I was always the student my peers would turn to for help. So whenever I see tutoring anime, it has always been something I could relate to and thoroughly enjoy. This 2019 harem anime is considered to be fairly popular amongst the anime community, but today we will see how good it is.
Let's begin on how
...
the series began, with its history. The quintessential quintuplets began as a manga by the same name. This book series was written by Negi Haruba and its first edition was published by Shonen Magazine in 2017. This series would continue to receive new volume up until its final volume, the fourteenth, in 2020. With more than eleven million books sold, it was obvious the series was a success, and what better to celebrate with than an anime adaptation? In 2019, the quintessential quintuplets were adapted by Tezuka Productions airing for 12 episodes receiving mediocre feedback, the most notable being “it's a good read, not a good watch.” Due to this feedback, the series would get a sequel adapted by a different studio, Bibury animation, in hopes to produce a better anime. This second season was originally supposed to air within 2020, but due to a global pandemic was delayed to 2021. Like the first, this season aired for 12 episodes, but this time, the series received some very good feedback, leading to a score of 8.17/10, you’ll find out at the end if the anime deserved this score or not. This feedback rendered a third season of the anime to get announced, but with no studio or date for this anime confirmed just yet. And with this, it is safe to say that the quintessential quintuplets should have a stable future coming up.
Being a harem anime, the quintessential quintuplets has a fairly large cast, so for this series to succeed, it needs to find a way to give some strong development to all the characters with such a small runtime. The main cast of the quintessential quintuplets includes Fuutaro Ugesaki, Ichika Nakano, Nino Nakano, Miku Nakano, Yotsuba Nakano, and Itsuki Nakano. You may have realized that all the girls have the same name, this is due to them all being quintuplets, sisters who were all born on the same day. Due to all of them being sisters, this series uses family tensions to try and create realistic family drama along with some other comedic elements. Without spoiling anything specific in the series, you can think about stuff like arguing over the tv or cleanliness of the house as stuff that could be used to create conflict between the sisters. Fuutaro Ugesaki is the lead of the series, just like most tutor anime, Fuutaro comes from a poor family. The only thing he has is his grades, so to help his parents pay the bills, he takes up tutoring, will this save this family? Find out by watching the anime. This series also does spend a lot of time developing other characters in each family such as Fuutaro’s sister, Raiha, and each family's parents to help us best understand each family's situations.
Now the animation for the quintessential quintuplets is a little bit confusing to talk about as they swapped studios between the first two seasons and it may happen again in season 3 depending on what studio they select for it. The first season's animation was known for its inconsistency with how they drew the characters and the award facial expressions they would occasionally give the girls. As for the second season, it was a huge step up from the first seasons the characters looked a whole lot better and I personally liked the new color palate more. The only real complaint I have heard about the second season's animation was talk about a thigh nerf, but I personally didn’t notice anything of the sort. Although I still wouldn’t say it's the best animation I’ve ever seen, I still believe it's on the higher end for the winter 2021 season.
As for the music of this series, I absolutely love it. Both its openings and one of its ending songs were sung by all five quintuplet voice actors, it adds something to the anime I don’t believe we could get if sung by someone not who was barely involved in the anime. As for its ending not sung by the quintuplets, it was sung by Aya Uchida. Although it may not be someone from the cast, I still really love this song and was a little bit disappointed when I found out Aya was not singing the ending for season 2.
The Quintessential Quintuplets takes on a story similar to other tutoring animes, such as its predecessor, We Never Learn. This genre of anime plot essentially boils down to poor guy needs money, but has high grades. Poor guy takes up tutoring for the money, but the people he tutors are all girls. These girls eventually fall in love with the tutor and he eventually starts to date one of the girls. Of course, The Quintessential Quintuplets does do some things to set it apart from the competition, such as a harem of just sisters, which is something I don’t mind. The story does have a smooth transition between seasons making it feel like little time has passed between seasons, although I do believe that after season 2’s ending, this anime is going to drag on far longer than what it needs to. By the end of season 2, we already know who Fuutaro is going to marry, so I have no idea how they are going to drag that out for another 12 episodes. I personally hope that after the series will end after season 3 because if it doesn’t the series will be filled with too much filler, completely destroying everything which made this anime good.
Considering the harem nature of the quintessential quintuplets, there are actually very few ecchi scenes, which is something I can appreciate. Avoiding ecchi scenes for more time to develop characters and make a meaningful story is the best choice an anime like this could ever make, it really shows that the writer is doing this out of passion and not just trying to get a lot of sales. This development definitely worked to make fans love specific characters and hate others similarly to how the anime series rent a girlfriend molded fans into hating Mami. This of course encourages fans to interact with the series, for example, arguing who the best girl is or who is going to win at the end, which is a good thing. Because the story is written in such a way to make fans have so much affection towards the girls, they made a good choice using cast sung openings and endings. It’s an extra detail the studio didn’t have to do, but I can appreciate the effort and I believe it turned out perfectly. Considering all this information, I believe that the score the quintessential quintuplets deserve is 8.5/10! This anime is still far from perfect, but I still say that is an enjoyable watch and I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the romance or harem genre. Reflecting back to its recent my anime list score of 8.17/10, I would say that's a fairly reasonable score, after all, I gave the series an 8/10 on my mal since you can’t put decimal numbers on it.

We all have a niche anime which fanbase is so small, it seems like essentially nobody's heard of it. Although it might be unknown and might not be perfect, there's still a passion for it. Today, I will be reviewing the niche anime I’m passionate about and hopefully, this anime will get more reception. This anime is the fall 2005 romance series Lamune, which is assumed to have only around thirty thousand viewers. Throughout this video, I will be talking about how good this anime is and if you should watch it too. I will try my best to keep it spoiler-free with an exception
...
of a spoiler segment which will have a warning before it occurs.
To begin, let's shed a little light on the history of Lamune so you could get to know it a little bit better. Lamune was originally derived from the Japanese beverage Ramune, which is essentially just a carbonated drink. Lamune was first released as a Japanese adult visual novel for the PC on July 30, 2004, by Neko Neko Soft. It would later get ported to the Playstation 2 on August 25, 2005, as a much more family-friendly version. On October 11, 2005, the visual novel was adapted by Trinet Entertainment and Picture Magic to a twelve-episode anime series. Other notable anime these studios produced was Final Approach in 2004 and Penguin Musume Heart in 2008. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until after the anime was finished airing that its respecting manga and the light novel were released. The manga was released on January 26, 2006, while the light novel was released on February 1, 2006. Both the manga and the light novel would only have one volume and would be published by completely different companies. Overall, the lamune series received horrible feedback as barely anyone watched it and scored 6.83 out of ten on My anime list. You’ll find out soon enough if this anime deserved that score.
As for the characters of Lamune, it actually has a fairly small cast. Lamunes main cast features Nanami Konoe, Kenji Tomosaka, Suzuka Tomosaka, Hitari Nakazato, and Hiromi Sakura. Kenji Tomosaka is our generic protagonist of the series, he is a mechanic and helps out the Konoe Families local restaurant. Nanami Konoe is the main love interest of the series, she is Kenji’s childhood friend and works at a local farm for her family's restaurant. You can probably guess by the name, but Suzuka Tomosaka is Kenji’s little sister. She's always seen by her brothers side and helps keep their unstable family together. Hitari Nakazato is Kenji’s popular cousin. She is mostly there to cause trouble and try to get Kenji and Nanami closer. Finally, Hiromi Sakura is the romance rival of the series, but I won’t say how her arc ends.
As I usually do, I combined the music and animation into one section since it's the least I have to talk about. Beginning with the animation of lamune, I’d say it seems like Trinet Animation took more of a lead on the art or style of Lamune. Lamune has that classic anime look to it, the kind you would expect a retro slice of life anime to look like. For the early 2000 era of anime, I’d say its animation was midrange, it wasn’t the worst for its time, but it also certainly wasn’t the best. The character designs were really nice, but in my opinion, the color was lacking, although the source material is a little hard to find, I’m going to remain hopeful that the designs were faithful to its source material. As for the music of this anime, Lamune Features the opening “Lamune-iro no Melody” by Mayu and the ending “Summer Vacation” by Ayumi Murata. These artists are seemingly unknown and difficult to figure out what other music they wrote, but I’d say their performance for Lamune was okay. The opening by Mayu was a good wholesome opening and the Ending by Ayumi Murata was mediocre. As for the OST of the anime, I’d say it's fairly generic and nothing really to write home about. All in all, I would say that Lamune had fairly good animation with some mediocre music to go alongside it.
Story (spoilerless)
Lamune was a romance story about a small country-side town. Lamunes' story seemed to have a heavy reliance on flashbacks at the beginning of the episode, which would somehow find a way to incorporate itself with whatever occurs within the episode, which in some circumstances felt kind of forced. These flashbacks also served to strengthen the relationships between the characters and helped to explain why some characters act the way they do. The story does have a fairly slow start but picks up in the second half whilst also getting fairly interesting near the end. Although Lamune aired for one season and received only 12 episodes, I’d say the story does feel complete, the writers completed all the plotlines introduced in the series and gave the fans essentially everything they would want in a romance anime.
Story(Spoilers)
Alright so for those who are still here, let's talk about the story of lamune, more specifically, the second half of the series. In the second half of the series, the typhoon episode was introduced. This episode showed us how much Nanami relied on Kenji, but also the lengths Kenji would go through for Nanami's safety. This was a strong episode and I personally really liked it. The result of this episode ended up with Nanami in the hospital though. A little time later when it was time for Nanami to be discharged from the hospital, Kenji got into that car accident, causing him to fall into a coma. Although I felt this episode was powerful and emotional, I also felt like this was rushed as Nanami was literally just in the hospital. Even with these trailing arcs, the anime still managed to have a strong ending where Nanami and Kenji begin dating, something most anime fail to do these days.
Conclusion:
Although Lamune has a mysterious source material, which is fairly unknown to me, I’d say the writers did a fairly good job at piecing together the story and making something that had a fairly satisfying ending. As mentioned in the animation segment, I was a fan of the character designs, but the colors of the anime were lacking. Although its soundtrack was mediocre, I would say that it's wholesome opening really fit the vibe the anime was going and really fit the country atmosphere the anime had. All things considered, I decided to give Lamune a. seven out of ten! Although I am passionate about Lamune, I just can’t say it's perfect. The anime has many obvious flaws, but I wouldn’t say it compromises the enjoyment of the watch. So, considering it got 6.88 out of ten on my anime list, I would say that score was fairly deserved, even though I believe it could do with a couple of decimal boosts, but nonetheless, I would recommend Lamune if you are a fan of retro romance anime or just a romance fan in general.

[SPOILERLESS REVIEW (with a little bit of spoilers, but there's a warning before it appears)]
Ok, so before I start, if you would prefer to listen to my review instead of read it, you can do so here as I know this might be a bit long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiWxUTvu54M&t=646s
Idol anime, the window into the Japanese anime and music industry like nothing seen elsewhere. Idol anime are typically about the protagonist working their best perfecting their talents to become a successful idol, which in the end, they typically do. But this isn’t always the case, what if the idol isn’t successful in the industry and is crashing? This
...
occurred with Wataru Watari’s 2016 light novel, Girlish Number. Today I will be talking about the high’s and lows of the anime adaptation of said manga.
To begin, I wanted to talk about some of the history behind girlish number, so you could get a feel of it. Girlish Number was originally written by Wataru Watari and was first released as a light novel on January 30, 2016, which would eventually come to an end in 2017. Later on, the light novel would revice two spin-offs by the names Girlish Number: momoka memorial, and Girlish Number Shura. Both of these stories don’t really contribute much to the overall story of girlish number, but can still be a fun read. On october 7, 2016, Watari’s novel was adapted by the anime studio Diomedea to produce an anime series of the same name. Girlish Number aired for 12 episodes and had mediocre feedback, resulting in a grad score of 6.88 on MAL. Was this score deserved? You’ll find out very soon.
To begin with the actual talk about the anime, I decided that I should probably begin with the characters to avoid confusion in later segments of the video. Girlish Numbers' main cast features Chitose Karasuma, Koto Katakura, Kazuha Shibasaki, Momoka Sonou, and Yae Kugayama. Chitose Karasuma is considered the lead of girlish number, she is a college student hoping to make it as an idol, in fact, most of these characters are college students. Chitose is known for her bratty personality and with amazing expressions, she is also known for her lazy, sloth-like personality, making her not really wanting to do any work. Will this come back to bite her? Koto Katakura is the oldest out of all the characters at the age of 26. Koto is known as being the otaku of the group and is also known for speaking in a regional dialect. Yae Kugayama is fairly new to the industry, similarly to chitose, she is known for being far too kind to the point where people say her words “hold no weight”. Momoka and Kazuha are known as the veterans of the group, they both are already famous idols who just happened to end up working on the same project as the other three members of the main cast. I really like the dynamics of the characters as they couldn’t be anymore different.
The next essential thing to this anime is its music and animation. I decided to combine the two of them as it's probably the part I have the least to talk about. To begin the anime adaptation chose to take a softer approach to its style, allowing some of the best facial expressions to do along with the comedy within the series. Compared to the manga or light novel, the anime seems to look completely different compared to its source material. Another thing to mention is just how different the characters look inside of the anime adaptation, I mean just look at manga chitose versus anime chitose. As for the music of girlish number, considering it's an idol anime, you would assume the music is on point, right? Well, you are absolutely correct! The anime adaptation features 6 unique songs featured throughout its 12 episodes, the most prominent being its opening, bloom, and it's ending, Ima wa Mijikashi Yume Miyo Otome. Personally, I believe the opening for girlish number couldn’t be any more perfect. The opening, Bloom, is as the title entails, blooming. The song is about wanting to be number one, sprouting the seeds of their career, hoping it will one day bloom into a famous idol. I guess you could say the same thing about my YouTube channel hehe. All in all, I believe girlish number did have solid animation and music.
Story (spoilerless)
The story of girlish number is about Chitose Karasuma, a college student aspiring to be an idol. The wikipedia description defines it as “College student Chitose Karasuma is determined not to do boring things as she enters the adult world. To this end, this bad-mannered beauty barges into a facility that trains would-be voice actors and actresses, somehow landing a job at "Number One Produce," a seiyuu agency managed by her older brother, Gojou. In Chitose's mind, she's poised for greatness, but finds herself at a loss when she continues to only get minor roles.” Essentially, Chitose is very lazy and self-centered, giving no care to the people around her. Since she is so lazy, she barely makes it in the industry relying on her brother to do most of the work, but will this all change? Another thing to mention is that Chitose isn’t really a singing idol, she's actually a voice actor, working in the anime industry. The story does take some breaks from Chitose to develop other members of the main cast, but I guess it isn’t essential for a story about Chitose.
Story (spoilers)
Alright so for those who are still here, let's get started. The story begins with Chitose’s debut as a Seiyuu. If I was to be brutally honest this first part wasn’t really my favorite as I thought it was a little bit bland to the point where I almost dropped the whole series. Not too soon after, we are first introduced to chitoses bratty personality, arguing with her brother and complaining about the roles he gets for her. Eventually, Chitose caught her lucky break, she managed to get a role of a main cast as the main heroine, but there was a twist. This was a harem anime, so there were multiple main heroines, so in reality, chitose wasn’t all that special. The other girls of this harem anime where all the girls mentioned within the characters section. In the next episode, we get even more of a glimpse at chitoses bratty personality, she starts flexing her main role to other rookie voice actors, even though we all know her role isn’t special. The main purpose of the episode was to let us get well acquainted with all the characters while also showing us the quality of the anime they're working on, which to put it simply, is terrible. So at this point we know that even though chitose has a main role, it's one for a low budget harem anime. In episode 3 the recording for the anime starts, which is when the laziness of chitose show. Since chitose put no effort into practicing for the recordings, her acting for them was absolutely horrendous. In this episode, we see Chitose realize how her laziness has affected her, causing her to reach out to her colleague, momoka, to learn how to properly voice act. As of episode 4, the budget for the anime really began to show, they weren’t on time with their production, leaving their fans disappointed. Also in this episode, the anime finally did debut, which ended up having a terrible launch, people hated it. Of course at the end of the day all she cared about was if she lost any followers over it. (also can we beat chitose in follower count, thank you)! As of episode 5, chitoses greed began to show, the anime was started to get sales and all chitose cared about was her paycheck. Meanwhile everyone was concerned about the sales of the series, all Chitose cared about was stuffing her face, showing the gluttonous side of Chitose. The end of this episode gave chitose exactly what was coming for her, a cyber troll attack exposing her for what she really is. The next episode shows how Chitose is still traumatized by her cyber attack to the point where she was too afraid to stare at a camera, although she brushed it off fairly easily. The other important plot in this episode was showing us how everyone was finding new jobs in the industry, meanwhile chitose is still slacking, with no new jobs. Episodes 7 and 8 are mostly development for Suzuka and Momoka, so for the sake of this review I’m gonna brush over it, but these were still some solid episodes. One thing I have failed to mention prior to now was that throughout the past 8 episodes, chitose was constantly reminded that if she keeps on being lazy, she would end up getting replaced in the industry as she was easily replaceable. This occurred when Nanami was added to the mix, namani was cute, kind, dedicated, essentially everything chitose wasn’t. Nanami began to jump in popularity eventually taking some of Chitose’s roles, and eventually even Chitoses manager. Episode 10 is about Chitose realizing the mistakes she's made along the way, causing her to become depressed. This goes on throughout episode 11, but in the process we learn that all the idols were dependent on chitose charismatic personality the whole time. It wasn’t until Chitose’s brother came to cheer her up that she returned to the industry. The final episode, episode 12, is about Chitose's huge turning point. Chitose decided to change in order to stay in the industry so her seed could bloom. In this episode, Chitose said something I will never forget, essentially, Chitose says she acknowledges that she's horrible, easily replaced, and bratty, but even so, she loves the industry and will give it her all no matter what. I can really relate to this, as a small YouTuber, I could easily be replaced by essentially anyone with a bigger subscriber count, but even so, I want to put all my effort into the best videos for you guys so that I can show my passion for this. The anime has a semi-happy ending as the anime they were working on managed to just barely make enough money to produce a second season.
Final verdict
The anime adaptation of Girlish Number seemed so different from its source material, but I would certainly say this was for the best. The anime redesigns I believe are far better then the source materials, making the anime even better. Although the story did have its ups and downs, but the quality of the ups makes up for the downs the anime went through. Some of the said ups can get really emotional, improving the watch of girlish number. As said earlier in the video, the music and animation are on point for the direction the anime was going, I don’t really see a way it could be improved one, the vibrant colors the anime has along with the amazing soundtrack, there is just no way it could get any better. All things considered, I decided to give Girlish Number a… 9/10! The only real reason the anime didn’t get a 10/10 was because there are some issues with the story, but nonetheless, this is an amazing anime and you should watch it too.

Ochikobore Fruit Tart, or as I am going to call it for the sake of this review, Idol Dropout is the story of a failing group of Idols. From the episodes I've seen so far, the story seems kind of generic and bland which makes me question why I keep coming back to it every week. I've seen a couple of idol anime and this one by far stands out the least.
I will continue to stick with this anime until the end to see if it gets any better, and if it does, I will update this review, otherwise heres a list of other idol
...
anime's you can get far more enjoyment out of.
-Girlish Number, this one is by far the closest to idol dropout in the way where its a story about a failing idol group, but girlish numbers characters stand out much more and the story is more entertaining
-White Album, a darker story about the idol industry
-SoniAni: Supersonico the animation, a story a college student who loves being a model and making music

A Certain Scientific Railgun follows the lead of one of the side characters from a certain magical index, who is known as one of the top 7 most powerful people in the city. The reason I really like this series is because it directly follows the timeline of A certain magical index, so it really helps build the world of this universe. This series also shows us why or how some events within a certain magical index occurred, which really solidifies the story of this anime.
My only real complain with this anime was that something inevitable happened, where they basically had to play out
...
an index arc inside of the railgun series, which makes the series repetitive if your watching it all in one go, but I don’t think it's all that bad though, since it shows different perspectives on that arc.
Another cool thing to note about this series is also how it introduces so many important side characters which never even featured inside of the parent series, so the world seems to constantly be expanding.
Since Railgun had 3 seasons, I’ll just state that the net score I gave this series is 7.5 out of 10.

Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator, or in english, A Certain Scientific Accelerator has a complete focus on one of my favorite antagonists of the Toaru Raildex series, an antagonist who is becoming to learn good via Touyma.
This season takes place between seasons one and two of a certain magical index. A Certain Scientific Accelerator has a focus on something the other series never touched on, that being necromancy. Basically this series main villain used necromancy to achieve his goal, but that had a twist to it near the end of the series.
This season features two amazing main characters which originated from the original story, a
...
certain magical index.
In the end, I gave A Certain Scientific Accelerator an 8 out of 10.

Toaru Majutsu no Index, or in english, A Certain Magical index. A certain magical index is the main story within this series, which follows the lead of Touma Kamijo and his Co-Lead, Index. With their lead, the story progresses with Touma protecting his city from various magical threats using a mysterious power located in his right hand.
One of the biggest focuses with the drama of this anime is the tension between scientific and religious beliefs.
This anime features so many side characters within Index alone, I can count about 30 important side characters within Index alone. You might think that with many side characters, they
...
just have to be bland or have no development at all, right? Actually it's the opposite. It’s actually my favorite part of the series, seeing characters which were perceived as villains grow and eventually learn to become a better person through the lead characters.
All in all, I ended up giving this series an average of 9 out of 10 for its three seasons.

From fine to horrible, the Monogatari series was a rollercoaster of emotions. After seeing the popularity of the famous song "Renai Circulation" I decided to this anime a shot, but at what cost? Well, I ended up wasting hours of my time that I cannot get back since this series just kept on getting worse for me.
Here are some general issues I had with the WHOLE series:
-THE EYES: idk why but the animators made the eyes way too creepy for my liking
-The creepy poses they make
-THE WORLD FEELS EMPTY: this series has little to no background characters making the series feel like only the
...
main cast exists within it
-Almost every arc boils down to "Guy saves Harem but we basically kill him in the process"
All in all. I dropped in the middle of this season and will no longer continue to watch any more content from the Monogatari series. If you want a more in-depth review, I did a 7-minute review on my YouTube channel.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Finale is a perfect way to end this series and basically any anime series, but why? Well not only does it include them becoming a couple, but also closes basically all of the plot points introduced within prior seasons and returns to some old locations we never thought would be returned to. Another great idea they did was the transition from Miran singing the OP to the N's, basically the whole cast, to sing it. If you are a fan of romance animes then this is a must-watch! Please don't miss this opportunity!
