okay so before I start the review, let me warn anyone that hasn't seen this movie: there WILL be spoilers, I can't talk about this movie without spoiling the fuck about it, so there is your warning

Evangelion 3.0 is probably the most divisive thing to come out of the Evangelion series. The reaction to this movie was mixed at best. Now, what camp do I fall in? Both. I haven't felt this way about an anime in a LONG time, as I have a strong love-hate relationship with this movie. I think alot of the good parts of this movie are some of ... the best things to come out of Evangelion, hell maybe even anime in general, but then I really REALLY don't like the bad stuff.

I will now talk about the stuff I liked in this movie
- Shinji and Kaworu's relationship was fucking incredible, by far the best part about the movie. Each interaction with them felt like something completely different from the last, you really get a sense as who these two are as people and Kaworu's death scene: holy shit. Kaworu is in general handled here even better than in the original series, where he was already handled really well. His outlook on the world is so fascinating if you ask me he's by FAR the most interesting character in this series. Shinji is also really good in this movie, but I do have problems with the way the other characters treat him, but that will come later. I really liked the ending, it just felt very conclusive for the story. The animation looks pretty good, but there are some stylistic choices I don't like, but that's more of a thing with these rebuild movies as a whole. I like the scene where Shinji basically goes nuts when he finds out he didn't save rei. I guess askua is pretty decent even tho she does some shitty things in this movie. I like what they did with rei at the end of the movie. Misato is awesome, I love the new aesthetic they gave her shes fucking badass. And finally, the sound design is clean

I will now talk about the stuff I didn't like in this movie
- Now ill start off with a complaint that I have that I don't have with the other Evangelion film she appears in, I fucking hate Makinami in this movie, she's just out of place fanservice and being the sorta "funny person" at the thematically wrong time, she's way better in 2.0 but I won't get into that here. Like I said earlier the animation in this movie is pretty good but god damn some of the charter designs are either mediocre or suck ass. I think the story could have used alot more of the rebels, or whatever the fuck Misato calls the anti-NERV thing, they only appear in the first 30 minutes and in the final fight, that's about it, I think to make the movie a bit longer an adding that extra time to seeing what those guys are up to you would have been cool. Rei is an extremely flat emotionless character, and while I did say I liked what they did with her at the end, eh she just felt like a plot device for most of the movie. I brought this up earlier in the review, but Shinji gets shit on so much I feel so bad for him. The only person that he has a good relationship with fucking dies and nobody understands the amount of shit he's been through. Yes, Shinji is FAR from a perfect person: but he's just a kid. the amount of pressure and pain that gets put on him is beyond imaginable, and it annoyed me when Makinami talks fucking down to him as if she's been through nearly as much shit as Shinji did, and the movie doesn't treat this as a bad thing either so its just fucking annoying. Okay I promise this is the last thing I'm gonna whine about: RITSUKO'S HAIR CUT IS WACK AS HELL WTF DID THEY DO TO HER MY GOD

A summary of my thoughts: I think overall, at least right now, I like this movie. I know the stuff I didn't like section was longer than the stuff I did like but the good stuff in this movie is that good and I elaborated on my issues more in that issues and talked more about them because I have more to say. Overall I'm still part of that 3.0+1.0 hype-train so I guess that says something.

wow, its panty and stocking: one of the more divisive anime on this platform. The series has seen a lot of criticism, some of it is justified, so let's just jump into it (sorta light spoilers). Man I watch this after berserk, wtf
Story- 6: Panty and stocking follow's, well panty and stocking, two angels that are stuck on earth and have to find their way back to heaven by defeating monsters. Now the story is pretty good up until the ending which is a cliffhanger: now this has aged poorly but I'm willing to forgive it because back in 2010 GAINAX most likely thought ... this show would get a second season, which it has not, or may never, or it's supposed to be a parody but who knows, the point is it's forgivable considering the circumstances. NOW (I'm censoring the spoiler stuff by saying SPOILER if you've seen the show you know what I'm talking) SPOILER actually being a demon, that's when I call bullshit. SPOILER never showed any sense that it was a demon, and it comes completely out of the left-field, why would SPOILER kill demons if SPOILER was one, it goes unexplained and idk that whole thing is bullshit, but yeah I guess the plots decent
Art- 10: The art is pretty much designed to always be stylized and outstanding. All the character designs are all great, especially panty and stocking. Both are instantly recognizable at a glance, which I can't say is true for the vast majority of other anime character designs. The show uses flash animation sometimes when the budget gets low, but its barely noticeable, and still looks good. However, the animation gets REALLY REALLY REALLY good especially in a lot of the action scenes. The art of the show always looks good and never is bad, its never even mediocre, so a 10 I give
Sound-- 8: The soundtrack for the show is great, enough said. It's vibrant and unique and fits tonally perfect. The ending is great too, being sweet and enduring, unlike everything else in the show. The sound design itself is pretty good, so why the 8? I don't really like the op, yeah I said it. its only 30 seconds, and it's just not interesting for me, so I gotta knock off some points for that
Character- 9: okay the show is almost flawless minus one little problem: briefers. I like him in the finale, but besides that, I don't really particularly like him. His design kinda pisses me off for some reason even tho its good, but idk: I never liked him really, literally all the other characters make up for him and more, but he's just okay. Now: I love pretty much everyone else. STOCKING IS MY NEW WAITU EVEN THO IM A SKINNY FUCK WTF IS HAPPENING TO ME, my favorite character in the show even with her shitty relationship thing and the other thing: She seems like a typical goth girl judging by her design which is great btw and her room, but she flips the script entirely by being a food eating asshole, I know so much better, but just watch the show. Panty'sa also great and her being the most basic white bitch is funny, garter belt is great and his backstory cracked me up, all the villains are unique in their own way, the show's characters are great fuck you
Enjoyment- 8: I really like panting and stocking. enough said
Overall- 8: the shows far from perfect, but I had a very good time with it, honestly if It weren't for SPOILER's thing this might be a 9

Its berserk, of course, it's good. there's your review
(outro music)
an, I wanna actually go into this show, cause I have a lot to say about it in general
Story- 7: k so I will try to not spoil as much as I can, so basically all the episodes have a nicely done story: nothing feels barely paced, it gives the almost all the characters moments to shine, then the ending. Not to spoil anything, but it's pretty underwhelming. Now, I know its different in the manga which I will read eventually, but this on its own: I'm sorry but you can't just have "that" happen and ... expect me not to want more out of that specifically. Now yes, we do get a glimpse at what the future is because the first episode takes place after al this shit and there is an after-credits scene but: I don't care about the future what happens NOW, but besides that, the story is pretty good
Art-9: another section that the manga outshines the 1997 anime in apparently: but I mean on its own the anime looks REALLY good. Quite possible some of the best shots in anime, the scenes whether they draw the frame like its a rough sketch of a source let you know that those are supposed to be highlights, which work in tandem with what the characters are doing in that certain moment to highlight the action even more. I guess I can categorize this under here, the fights look pretty solid, but they aren't the best of the best like (ahem) Jojo or hell even kill la kill but there is one that: oh my god its so good. Sorta a spoiler kinda, but its the one with griffin and guts: if you've seen the show, you know the one. It's a western duel with swords: that's fucking awesome. But overall, the animation of the show looks great
Sound-10: If you have read the manga, this is why you should watch this version of berserk: the soundtrack is amazing. I was browsing social media and I found this one mana that had nothing to do with beserk and it had fucking 1997 berserk music: that shows how iconic it is at this point. Oh, and the op is lit get it because of guts on fire during it? hahaha hahaha. the endings also pretty lit hahahahhahhah get it fir-
Character- 1-: BAR NONE the best part of the show. Lemme gush about them real quick GUTS IS FUCKING AMAZING, seeing him grow to realize he needs people in his life is so good honestly, and on top of that just seeing his raw strength is a sight to behold, oh and his determination go unscathed throughout the entire show, you get the point he's good. Now alot ALOT of people have talked about griffth so I'll just say this with kinda spoilers but everyone kinda says knows he's a piece of shit if you've even watched one video on berserk: it's one thing to be a sao villain at the start: but to turn into one is completely different. Casca, while she is a damsel in distress at times, fuck you almost every character is at times. JUDEAU MY BOIIIIIIIIII and I'd like to end on something: I gave a damn about all the nameless soldiers, no other show has made me care so much about nameless soldiers, that should tell you how good the characters are
Enjoyment- 9: I really really liked this show. enough said
Overall- 9: if it wasn't for the underwhelming ending for the ANIME, I'd give this an easy 10, but alas don't let that take away from the fact that I really really liked this show, as a start into the world of berserk, it succeeds for me

alright finished this a few days ago might as well review while it's on my mind
Story-7: Its really similar to the first season, like basically "gamblers try to take Yumeko down, gambling fun'. yeah, I know its more but, the point is its similarity to the original. Now, while it's still pretty good, the of kakegurui was far more.. fresh in this aspect. it's fine I guess tho, not much to say
art- 10: okay, this is clean. the animation is far better than the 1st season and the character designs for all the clan members are excellent, representing each incredibly well. It's more of that ... great art and consistently of the original, just a lot more polished with the animation. Overall nothing to complain about, other than the confusion I have when I see rei's design, I mean I can't tell from just looking at her: it's incredibly confusing.
Sound-8: The ost is just as good as the 1st season, as a matter of fact they kinda fell the same to me, but the point is it's good. I knocked a point off the original score because the original op and end were a lot better in my opinion. the new op is good, but not as great as the 1st op, and the second ending is just: weird. I like the first 15 or 20 seconds a lot tho. It's pretty much just the same as the first kakegurui sound quality, but 10% worst
Character-6: ONCE AGAIN the quality of the first season's characters but 10% worse. I will say, a lot of my gripes with the first season's characters have been fixed or removed entirely. Runas ways better and pretty cool now, while I still don't like her at all: Itsuki's like 10% better, because she's given a motivation: it's not a particularly strong or good motivation, but its something I guess that she has. but like: the clan just isn't as interesting as the student council in season 1. They're fine I guess, I like a lot of them, but some of them are given NOTHING to do whatsoever. Just cut out like a 4th of them and it'd be better. Ryouta is pushed to the side, which sucks because A: he's one of the more interesting characters, and B: Yumkeo doesn't play off anyone else besides maybe the president as well as she did with Ryouta, even her and the president have one event take place where they interact, and that's the best part of this season too. Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. But Yumeko's still very entertaining as a protagonist but with much less Ryouka it feels like something missing a lot of the time. I guess marys okay, the vice presidents cool, and Sayaka's kind of annoying. That's about it
Enjoyment-6: I mean it wasn't bad but I got bored a lot: I don't even remember the ending. The best part of the show was the arc with the president's assistant and Yumeko: that was really cool.
Overall-7: While XX was still pretty good, its biggest problem is that it doesn't bring anything new to the table that season 1 didn't have. Most aspects of it are just good, but season 1 did better. While I did still like it, definitely not as good as the 1st season.

okay so I just finished the first season of kaketgurui and I, like so many other people, have a lot to say about it. This is one of the most divisive modern anime if you ask me, so I think it should be interesting to talk about.
Story: 8- The story is about Yumeko (the main character) enrolling in this school that puts is almost entirely focused on gambling, and about her making a huge breakthrough through this and just being good at gambling. I know that's probably not a very good representation of the actual story but that's the vibe I got from it; and ... I enjoyed it. the premise is awesome, and the series has multiple twists and turns throughout the plot to keep you interested. my only problem is that the pacing is super slow in like on or two episodes, and not in a good way. But besides that, pretty solid.
Art: 9- Okay this is one of the best parts of the show. The art looks really great. All the character designs are excellent and represent the character as a whole, the school itself looks unique and feels incredibly large, which is a good thing. the op looks incredible and so does the ending... if you catch my drift ;). the animation is good too I'll beat it with a few hiccups here and there but when it hits its incredible. So yeah the art style is great
Sound: 10- The ost is freaking clean. It goes for this, like, electric edgy sort of thing and I love it: I remember thinking about how good the music was in certain scenes, which I rarely do. The op is great, and the ending is... pretty damn erotic ... and on top of that is very great and represent Yumeko as a character perfectly. So yeah, no major complaints.
Characters- 7: Okay this I where the series is at its peak and its lowest. let me get my complaints out of the way: Runa is really fucking annoying and is given no motivation or backstory watch so ever (in the first season idk about the second), so I have no reason to like her: she's not cute she's an annoying little shit. Okay that's harsh I find her annoying but her design is cool there, and she's not even the worst character in the show. That award goes to Tsuki. Tsuki is one of the most selfish anime characters I've ever seen: everything nice she odes is done for her gain, the fact that SHE BETS FOR PEOPLES NAILS IS COMPLETELY SHRUGGED OFF, and you know you're a bad kakegurui character when I like every other character r design except yours. That ends my rant. and uhh, I could care less about the president's assistant: shes just mediocre. Now, I can't talk about the best part of the show: Yumeko. honestly, she is perfect for the main character for the show. She's like the human reincarnation of gambling itself. She never ceases to make me smile, From being just a wholesome person one second to being ABSOULOUTLY INSANE the next, I absolutely loved her and she might be one of my favorite protagonists of any anime now. I liked the president and her outlook on the world was pretty interesting to say the least. And uhhhhh most of the student council members were pretty cool, especially the vice president can wait to find out more about her in the next season hopefully. Ryouta's pretty cool and has a good arc, and HIM AND YUMEKO ARE THE BEST SHIP CMON THEIR PERFECT THEY PLAY OF EACH OTHER SO WELL WE NEED THIS SHIP IM BEGGING HERE PLEASE NEXT SEASON. oh, and marys pretty good. so yeah the characters are rough around the edges but still pretty good overall.
Enjoyment- 9: This was a show I loved and mildly disliked at the same time. I'd say overall tho, I had a blast with the show.
Overall- 8: This show is flawed and is not the best it can be and I more so enjoy the show rather than respect it. but what it does well it does really well and I'd recommend it if you need something a bit more simple

okay so I'm gonna do one of those standard list things where the reviewer goes through all of the categories and gives their thoughts on that section because I feel like that should work with steins;gate (SPOILERS I REPEAT SPOILERS)
Story/pacing: 10- Easily one of the things steins gate excels at: it definitely is a roller coaster of a story: as in there's the anticipation of what's going to happen in the first half of a big hill, and then going down it is so rewarding: that's steins; gate pretty much. The plot is slow in the beginning and if the show was just one or ... the other wouldn't be nearly as good, but combined they make it so gosh darn interesting. the first half of steins;gate is all about anticipation and character interactions and development (we'll get to that later), and it's quite entertaining. The pacing is a little off in terms of events in the story, but it's forgivable, and it's entertaining enough. But once the second half kicks in everything the 1st half did make a lot more sense in the story as it basically involves one man risking everything to prevent someone from dying and it's incredible in terms of story, with some much happening at such a good pace. oh and the endings brilliant, not gonna spoil it just in case someone sees by accident, its THAT GOOD
Art: 8- This is entirely subjective, but there's something off about the art for steins;gate. Maybe its the weird color-coding or the odd lighting a lot of the time but it looks a little... how should I say this... unfinished at times. But it's not bad at all: I actually like the art quite a bit.. the characters designs are top tier, I love how the city looks, the op represents the show very well, and I love how when okarin comes back form a really bad time jump you can tell instantly just by looking at him ( little rule called show don't tell, and btw this show does that well). so overall not the strong suit of the show but still really solid
Sound: 8- Look here's the thing: the ost for steins gate is... fine I guess just nothing amazing. Now I like to judge the ost of a show separately from the show itself but like: I didn't remember a single track from the ost. The saving grace is that the op is amazing and the ending is solid too: correction, all of them are good. that's about it: not much insane stuff but still pretty good.
Charaactesr:10- This is where this shows shines brightest: the characters. My legit only little problem is mokeas backstory is a little, well, unexplored, but besides that, man its good. Okarin's absolute "carry that weight" mentality in the second half was thrilling to watch, and he's probably the sanest character in the show. Kurisu is my favorite character in the show just because shes consentient: always helpful, always being a pain (a good one,), always has a little bit of a tsundere side, she's just so adorable and great. She is the best girl by far and she and okarin are a really nice couple. Mayuri is precious: that's all she is, she is impossible to hate, and plays off okarin better than anyone else in the show. all the other side characters are great, but I don't what to make this any longer.
Enjoyment- 10: I absolutely adored steins;gate and its world of characters. It's not perfect, but it's unique and special and unforgettable. I loved the way it handled time travel, themes of dystopia are explored in detail well, there's just so much to love. While idk if I will rewatch it soon, I will go back to it eventually, and it is one of the better anime i have seen.
Overall- 9: Steins;gate is a really damn good show that everyone should check out. it isn't without its quirks, but any anime fan should check it out.

it's weird: there are shows I enjoyed more than FLCL that I haven't reviewed yet (yes I'm referring to it as FLCL shut up), and yet I haven't reviewed then. I watched FLCL on Hulu about a month ago, and I can't stop thinking about it. I guess I'm using this as a way to express how much there is to this anime. If traditional anime go right, FLCL goes left. Almost every single aspect of the anime and everything surrounding the show as a whole is completely different from any other anime. The dub is preferred to the sub by most people, it's more ... popular in America (From what I know), Its only 6 episodes long, which is insane considering most anime that are twice as long are considered to be short, and that's just with the community and airing of the show alone. The show itself takes every single norm of anime, which is multiplied by today's anime landscape and throws it out of the window. The art of the show is stylized to a max: all the character designs are on point and work really well in motion, speaking of which, the animation is unlike anything else, with this sort of organized chaos that I absolutely adore, making the show quite possibly the closet thing to drugs I will ever experience. all the characters are great and bounce off each other mainly because our main character, naota, plays off everyone so well. you could put him in any situation and he works. Of course, Haruko is wonderful too, and CANTI OMG HES PERFECT and mammimi you probably get now the characters are great. Now, I haven't brought up the series biggest flaw: it can be incredibly hard to follow, especially around the last episode, where it goes too far in my opinion. I know FLCL is known for being insane, but like: if I understand the rest of your insane show but not the ending that says something about it, and that's the only major problem with the show, there are a few nitpicks I have, but I'm not gonna bother discussing them. BUT, the best part about the show is the soundtrack: It's genuinely fucking awesome on a different level, I love it. Now I'm not a music expert, but I feel like the pillows are the perfect combination of Japanese and American music, which GOES BACK TO THE POINT OF FLCL BEING A VERY AMERICAN JAPANESE SHOW, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT? the soundtrack has this edge that makes the show go from a fun show to an absolute experience. This all leads back to the point of FLCL going left when other anime go right: it lives off its differences, and even if its a cluster fuck, its one you can't look away from

okay fuck my old review I'm writing a new one and talking about how this is one of the best-animated movies ever made.
Story- 9: okay: the story is insane. it goes all over the place and occasionally scratches rough but it's smooth. I don't care if its a mess it's a complete ending. now I have to bring this up: this movie is entirely made with the idea you've seen the tv show Neon Genesis Evangelion (not as good as the movie, but still very good) because basically it's a different version of the ending to that show, which is pretty good to me ... but most people fucking hate it. end of Eva was made to redo that so don't go into it blind like that: watch the tv show and pay attention unlike me a year ago. Keeping this in mind, its almost a perfect ending to the original tv show, so I can't be too harsh on it
Art- 10: god damn this movie looks out of this world. the mecha designs are the best in the business, Eva unit 1 especially. the movie looks gorgeous, and horrifying in certain scenes just because the weight of the actions is portrayed so well through the animation. the directing can be outstanding in some scenes, like for example the scene where Eva unit 01 jumps out of the eye: The medium of animation really let's the viewer SEE how large the huge rei monster because the animation takes full advantage of it: a little rule called show don't tell. I can gush all day, but the animation holds up so well and is one of the best parts of the movie
Sound-9: honestly komm susser tod alone makes the movies ost. such a horrifyingly catchy song. ost itself is great but cmon: Komm Susser todd
character-10: Okay let me address the other characters before I address the elephant in the room. Asuka gets some great scenes, really like what they did with rei, explains why she's so personality-less, Shinji's dad gets a good ending cause he's a dick, Misato's actually fucking great and her death scene was really sad, the doctor girl is pretty good, and kaworu is pretty good for Shinji's character thing. Now Shinji: Holy fuck. The movie centers around him, almost everything he does has major consequences in the movie. The 2nd half of the fucking movie is dedicated to directing him as a person, and explaining why he's kind of a horrible person. There's a scene that takes place in real life in an animated movie and it's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. The second half is genuinely made by Shinji, and it's weird because I hate Shinji but at the same time I love him. it's genius writing and Shinji is the core of the movie, which is good because cmon he's the main
Enjoyment- 9: I liked the first half but it's got rough spots but loved the second half. that's about it in terms of how much9 I enjoyed it
Overall-9: the end of Evangelion is a great just because of the second half alone, and is an unforgettable experience

I actually quite like this show. Okay, let me get my personal gripes with the show out of the way. I'm a pretty big GAMERRRRRR, and I feel like sometimes, the shows got a little too, how should I put this, "OH PIXELS YA GET IT GAMES HAHA", and that's a shame because, besides that, I thought it betrayed games and the industry very well and made me laugh a few times because of the way they poked fun at it, but at the same time being respectful of it. The only other thing I could think of as a problem is that some of ... the side characters aren't as explored as I would want: probably because of the length of the show. But besides that, all the characters were wonderful. Amano works really well and plays off everyone around him so well. Karen is just, perfect, best girl. Chiaki is a close 2nd as best girl, and I found her relationship with Amano particularly interesting. my favorite character, is probably Uehara, just because his attitude is pretty spot on throughout the show, and you can he tell he grows as a person too. overall, while not perfect, I enjoyed this show quite a lot as a gamer chad and would recommend it as something easy to just enjoy.

Where to begin, this shows almost flawless. The character writing is the best i've seen in any anime, maybe even tv show. L has so many quirks that make him feel so humoress and alive, and hes complex in a way too, making you easily see him as a great person, and hes just perfect as a character. Light is likeable and unlikeable: theres equal good and bad with him, and you see that hes a great guy without the notebook, but with it....., that's leaning toward the bad guy, but not all the ay . These two just are perfect and are the two ... of the best anime characters ever. Theres a lot of other great things about the show like side characters, the colors, ryuki is best boi, the 4 openings and endings are fire af, the story is just so intresting, see light and L's ongoing fight is genuis storytelling, and gets you invested fast. the only real problem i have with the show is that in the first half of so, the annimation is not great: its not bad, but just okay, but it picks up. Im not someone that usally cries at shows, but the ending allmost made me: its powerful af, and had my eyes a little watery. Overall, a timeless masterpiece and theres a reason its my 3rd favorite anime of all time. Cant wait to read the manga once i get it in like a week
