Finally, a child who acts like a child, not a moeblob who only exists to fan the meme engines and churn out popularity.
It may be a lesser-known fact (Due to everyone hating on my spy fam review since it was a negative one), but I really did not like Spyx family after the first 6 episodes, They did everything ideally, just like buddy daddies over here, by first introducing some badass and sabotage specialists, helping us get used to the action then dropping the Kid who is actually adorable, behaves like a kid, makes mistakes like one and is essentially the reason for changing her
...
two daddies for the better. In spy family however, Even after going through two Cours we are effectively stuck in a forever loop, the main character's parents are the same as when they have introduced no development, no interesting arcs nada, only the same gags which use the same formula and only when Anya is on screen does watch anything make sense. Buddy daddies help us taste gag humor, adorableness, and character growth all in a neat small package while actually giving us good tips and insights on childcare, In spyfam it's completely natural for a kid see you practice extreme violence while also reading your most obscene thoughts XD.
Plot 8/10
Kazuki and REi were initially hitmen with no regard for anyone or anything The whole procedure of them initially thinking of miri as a pain, to eventually getting attached to her and also growing to genuinely care for her shows us the journey of these two hitmen who slowly get changed by their daughter, the kids usually are molded by their parents but it was nice to see like in real life , children do tend to bring out the best in their parents., Some of the Rei Hitman arcs were rushed over and Kazuki eventually was kind of the main focus (I guess since his story is a little more vanilla).I liked the fact that unlike generic anime hypocrisy, the mother too got a second chance just like Kazuki and rei.
Characters 9/10
Small but neat package of characters, the side characters other than kyuu chan are relatively uninteresting and the main villain is a classic cliche type of guy. The character development arcs were quite nice .... it was rushed but they managed to get the point across and the growth was made apparent.
Sound and VA 8/10
I liked the OP{ and ED both , they are quite the bangers and have clearly gotten the highest budget , the ED is full of MIRI DRIP and helps its rewatcha ability , the Voice Acting is amazing especially Miri and most of the Gags are able to land because of the VA s. OST is average.
Animation and art 7/10
generic PA works art style, the animation can climb a few points depending on the importance of scenes , but is otherwise pretty standard.
Although it does not have the budget of spy family I feel is a much better childcare anime , spyfam may slightly edge it out as a comedy anime , but buddy daddies is still an amazing show which manages to stay in the realm of reality and yet still be an interesting watch. I can easily recommend it to everyone.

Romance, the ever-loved and praised genre of anime was getting rather stale lately and finally after so many disappointments and straight-up vanilla slices of life’s that barely hold a candle to the Romance anime of old and are just wish-fulfillment crap even worse than the worst of isekai’s (Otanori no tenshi-sama was just so bad I didn't bother writing a review), we Finally got a complete package that bought with it a fun concept wasnt convoluted, filled with misunderstanding, or riddled with unnecessary filled with panty shots to gain favor.
What I love about Tomo chan is, that it is a complete package that introduces
...
a unique quirk of Tomo trying to act and become more girly but usually hilariously failing to do so but it does not try to completely milk this formula with a rinse-repeat and helps us get familiar with a supporting cast the girls of which which are, following the true romance fashion, more popular than the main girl xD. The show slowly progresses with a perfectly paced character development arc of most characters and helps them all reach their conclusion in ONE FKIN season, dear god , this is quite the gem.
Otaten and other romance fluffs drag themselves on , with season 1 trying to establish the formula, Season 2 usually being the character development arc and then it slowly keeps dragging on and on with most audience only sticking around for the long-awaited payoff which sadly never comes.
Nuff said time to review
Story 9/10
Perfectly paced and perfectly set gag manga that is able to delve into deeper subjects without losing any of its identity, every arc like the beach, outing, and school festival arc is set perfectly and flows with meaning without dropping the ball with the humor. The way that every arcs ending and conclusion slowly helps the anime place its ending with each characters growth eventually adding up and helping Tomo and Jun finally getting the push they needed while also closing the chapters of carol and Misuzu is amazing, the only missed opportunity is the Misuzu love interest which just got treated like a gag character.
Characters 10/10
The two side character girls have skyrocketed in popularity, especially due there very distinct and fresh characters and amazing voice Acting.The character development that every character gets a taste of even though the whole show was only 13 episodes was immaculate pacing.
Sound and VA 9/10
Seriously well done, the Voice acting of Tomo was perfect and needs more recognition, THe VA of CAROL is easily award-winning with the voice actor easily setting a new standard by winging both the dub and sub. OST is pretty good the OP was amazing , the ED i felt was little weak, however.
Art and animation 9/10
Great animation in the penultimate moments, and also for the kind of action scenes that help add to the humor, I love the plain yet distinguishable character designs of Carol and Tomo personally.
THis is the best romance I have seen in quite some time, Everyone must give this a shot IMO.

There was simply no need to make Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill,(obviously a light novel you can tell by the name) an Isekai anime, It is an anime about food and Realistically speaking most food that is made mimics their real-life counterpart and the ingredients that make the Umai (tasty in Japanese) and keep the “Umami” come from Umami land.
“Yeah? then why did you watch it?”
Because it's an Isekai of course ......
Let's face it, This is not the first isekai food anime, I doubt any genre is left unscathed by the isekai Truck (hehe :p) so let's just jump into why
...
this exists and Actually make a compelling watch.
All food-based anime does have a general formula:-
1)Have Mascots/ Hot girls
2)Make said Mascots/Hot girls Cream themselves while eating the “very superior Japanese Cuisine” (Seriously I am Indian so any Cuisine other than Indian is basically Weak AF salt and pepper bs).
3)The animation used in the food scenes Is equivalent to food porn.
Now an Isekai setting is very clever for this kind of requirement, The Isekai setting makes the Creative allowance to have mascots basically limitless, here we have a God-tier legendary Wolf , a cute protectable, and very adorably voiced baby slime, Along with, obviously hot isekai goddesses who love sweets. The ability to anticipate and potentially look forward to the reaction of these mythical creatures reacting to our seemingly ‘Alien for them’ food, and the very spectacular animation and art in the cooking scenes does improve the watching experience and makes the otherwise dull setting into an actual passable and enjoyable watch.
the absolutely loyal Isekai community, or rather, the unyielding evil sludge that would consume anything isekai (yeah that's how they look at us) was an easy sell which was a smart move by both mappa, who are running dry of cash, and the author who certainly made a buck with this, knew what they were doing when they made this one.
The whole anime initially feels like a commercial for Japanese restaurants, I really can't think of any in-depth review, the Characters the Story, and the plot is easily just an average 5/10, No real story is in the makes and no character development is in sight for the already mediocre characters. it's just that the MC meets either a new character X makes some food with some weird-looking monster, Fel and Sui kill them monsters while the MC is cowering or running with fear, or the eat and cream moments.
Sound and VA 9/10
Surprisingly well-made Ost along with really nice OP and ED which are chill and Upbeat, THe VOice acting of Fenrir and Sui is done well, and THe cooking is accompanied by really good gourmet sounds of sizzling and an ensemble of cookware clattering. As expected of mappa, many say that their animation needs work, but a few only know that the real magic that mappa brings with them is the OST and Music. (ever seen anyone hate chainsaw man or AOT OST? Those are just a few examples)
Animation and art 8/10
I personally loved the art that was used in the ED, the art in the anime in general is ok at best but the budget climbs sharply during the cooking sessions with a real jump in animation as well. The fight scenes are never the focus but are done reasonably well.
This is good popcorn fun for anyone, but I would definitely suggest bringing something more satisfying than popcorn when you are watching this, It will definitely make you crave some Food.

“What is the missing piece to complete this puzzle ?” -Isagi Yoichi
The fookin animation and budget for any scenes that do-not-lead-to-a-goal you dumb c***
I think the easiest way I can define the problem and make a TLDR is with this,
it feels like that blue lock is more of a SCORE them GOALS anime than a Football anime.
Make no mistake, Blue lock is truly the only anime that comes even close to the legendary status of Haikyuu season 3 but the real frustration and gripe that I have with this show are that it falls just short because of how many corners are cut from
...
the animation on off the ball moments and any other moments unrelated to scoring, Can one forgive this bad animation as long as they have Good music, Well-drawn art, Amazing VA, Good plot, and real hype with good animation on high stakes moments?
I know the answer for many is a resounding yes, but seriously the amount of time the hype was under shadowed by janky movements, speed lines-based animation, and just a little bit of VFX where the real sakuga must have gone will leave you cuckolded.
Now I know that animating a football show is hard, and there are some great scenes in the blue lock but most of the animation and art hits only when someone is about to score a goal, ao ashi which was another football anime, we see the game for as it is, players, moving in the frame as a response to the ball, great passes, and pre positionings, actual bird's eye view at certain points. and the thing is, the animation overall was better in Blue lock than in Ao ashi, but,
The distribution of the animation budget is completely fucked.
The person who is about to score IS THE ONLY FOCUS almost 90% of the time, there are very few frames in the blue lock game that have more than 3 characters in them, so we only see a portion of the pie all the time. Every sprint, pass, or defense maneuver is animated with either terrible CGI or just uses still frames or default running animation for it.
Cmon guys, the football I love is not just about scoring, It is the most important factor yes, but not the most important variable.
Plot 9/10
As I said Blue lock from the get-go, had immense potential, but only as a sports-based anime. It Is NOT a real football anime. Though I will admit they took out (very arguably but sadly true) the best aspect of football which is the striker, dramatized it, by making the main character be actually good at his game but just lacking the final piece in most games. added real stakes to it by having a battle royale kind of formula where each loss has real and sometimes permanent consequences, and still manage to have many colorful side characters who arent just plot devices but real threats and competitors to our main Protag who nearly always steal the cake from him. Some of my most memorable moments and high-octane goosebumps have been thanks to blue lock and the final few episodes with isagi vs top 3 were probably the only time a sports anime made me actively grin from ear to ear. It is a flawless combination of tales of passion, talent, hard work, and the concept of winning and losing.
Characters 9/10
Many memorable and passionate young players each have a talent in them that differentiate them from dreamers and makes them achievers who are ready to put their trust, experience and even friendship on the line to achieve what they want, each character is quirky in their own way and one would easily love their interaction during blue lock additional time. Some of the characters are quite animyfied and do break the realm of realism at times (the brothers in one match). It is nice to see the friendship blossom even in the midst of cutthroat competition and rivalry and I love most off-match moments as well which have additional character depth moments. The matches themselves are still able to add meaning to quirks rather than have them become irrelevant.
Sound and VA 10/10
Amazing sound and OST some of which went instantly to my playlists, so many of the scenes are transformed so well due to the absolute banger of goosebumps and hype-inducing soundtrack accompanied by great voice acting, you would feel like rewatching just those scenes over and over, just like that potato chip scene from death note. Most monologues which are frankly for Animation budget saving are delivered so well that you can be forgiven to take those scenes as great ones even though not much might actually be going on in the screen, THe VA and sound team definitely deserve some awards for this, THe OP and ED are all bangers as well.
Art and Animation 6/10
The art of Blue lock is great and unique and some scenes which depict the aura of the players are well drawn, the animation however the Achilles heel of this anime and I have already mentioned a lot about it above so lets just leave it at that.
This is an absolute must-watch for everyone, Though it would be preferable that you treat it as a regular sport-inspired show rather than a football anime, that would let you enjoy it very thoroughly.

Since Fruits basket, the power of shoujo anime was made clear, but after the fact, we have been hit with another drought of cheaply animated and designed shojo which tries to get away with poor production with a few Kyun’s and kyaa's
Unfortunately, Liselotte suffers from the same dilemma which is quite unfortunate since the plot does get really good as we get further into the story, it is a good romance with realistic characters which is quite surprising considering the plot is about a “tsun de rais” the main game couple and the real-life couple are quite endearing and a perfect match, the plot
...
makes it a kind of isekai, but also better and unique. the main info dump that occurs in episode 12 winds up all plot threads quite neatly. but sadly the terrible art and animation and the very poor and underdelivered sound make it yet another generic shojo drama.
Plot 8/10
The plot is quite good, the unique nature of the game characters being able to be understood and followed with the guidance of the player, while also maintaining their core personality is quite a touch. I also like the fact that the whole story is not just about the game and the world outside where the grass can be touched also has a tale to tell and a couple to adore.
Characters 7/10
Quite obviously, the tsundere is a tsundere and she is very annoying at times , the way the jokes about her tsun de rais nature are handled are not great but that is not the problem of character personalities but rather the VA, the CHaracters are vast and most of the side characters do get their own stories and plot points are introduced where they shine.Most of the motivations are genuine and realistic.
Sound and VA 6/10
The Op and ED are the saving grace of the otherwise atrocious and repetitive ost, the VA makes you cringe sometimes and are the reason that some scenes lose their original appeal because of they are delivered, it made it feel like all the VA were either busy, didn't care, or were given only one take.
Animation and Art 5/10
Terrible, speed lines to depict any sort of action, janky movement, expressionless face with the color red defining the dere of the tsundere, with these being the only form of expression the production feels subpar. The art in the ED is actually good however but its mostly still images which I suspect are from the source material.
Not a great watch if you want quality time, but if the plot and character chemistry is your only interest, then you can consider watching the first three.

“How can a show which is 80% monologue be interesting?”
There were two farming Simulator Anime that were airing this season(:p), THis one was an underdog and frankly after the terrible reception of a similar show last season, there wasnt much to expect from this. Still, one of my friends who is a dirty disgusting scumbag isekai lover basically my homie, read the manga of this show and insisted this one could be a good watch hence I knew Its worth a look.
The slice-of-life formula is there and it follows the footsteps of slime. The focus of slime was more on power fantasy however and
...
here it is more about the harem than anything else , so much so that except for a dog and some dwarves and a couple of kids, every godamn resident of the village that our main protag is in is a ripe and juicy woman who is quite taken with him or wants to use him as a reproduction machine.
Plot (8/10)
Classic slice of life narrator style simulator all the event s are based on the MC s POV and most of the subtle but everpresent hints show off his evergrowing vanilla harem , as he plays Civ 6 and builds his farm, estate and business empire. Mostly its like this episode I met these friends who started to help me with this, while also they are hot women who want my energy ? kind of a situation. Oh and before i forget he is OP as fuck and nobody wants to mess with him which is also one of the running gags.
Sound and VA (8/10)
Peaceful and serene music for a good slice of life setting nice VA and good ED and OPs not much to say but a good solid combination.
Characters (5/10)
Every fucking character is there to just be eye candy busty wonman or further the civilization of the great tree village, nothing of note at ALL.
Art and animation (8/10)
the art and animation are actually pretty nice, lots of cute moments and well-designed characters who are welp eye-catching, to say the least even if forgettable.
Overall if you are an Isekai fan and want a vanilla harem with cute girls and a light power fantasy with no sense of tension this is right up your alley and will be an amazing watch. This is a 100% hit for me and my wish-fulfillment-loving friends. if this doesn't appeal to you just watch the other farm simulator of the season, its called vinland saga for some reason and its much better.

I'll be honest and straight for once, there is not much improvement here from the very controversial season 1.... but there is a genuine attempt at a good romance.
Nagatoro used to be a little too edgy during season 1, but the "Bullying" in the season was somewhat debatable. but without a doubt, season 2 has toned it down and had us explore more of the softer aspects of the relationship between nagatoro , senpai, "Furendessu" and a new character "Anetoro".
Following the proper trend of most season 2s of romance animes the season ends with a "Could be hint of a major development" feel-good episode and
...
most of the rest are just build-up and get the two leads closer to each other. the Whole concept of "Teasing? Bullying?" goes to the backburner hence most audiences can generally enjoy this show albeit there is a bit of very in-your-face fanservice thrown around.
plot (7/10)
It's mostly the same old romance formula of will they won't they , It is arguable that senpai is a bit oblivious to most of Nagatoros moves because of what she did last season, but the formula does gets rather old as we move through the episodes. there are the standard date events that occur with some rather memorable and diabetic moments which are pretty well made, the other episodes, however, are usual. the most impressive part is the growth of senpai into a relatively more upstanding man due to the efforts of Nagatoro.
Characters (5/10)
It is a miss for me, due to the fact that Nagatoro friends are mostly just straight-up cut from most of the season in favor of the Senpai nagatoro moments or the new characters, I mean I have no trouble with the new ones, but the Old characters like Gamo and Yosi had made themselves quite popular and iconic, their reduced role definitely hit the comedy part of the anime a bit more than I expected.
Art and animation (7/10)
Not much to say here , the production is pretty identical to the first season , most generic scenes are not made with quality in mind , but wherever the shine is needed, its there.
sound and VA (8/10)
I personally really love the ED which as far as I can tell is an anime original and is rather well made with great art added to the mix, the voice acting is good and is able to make some of the gags hit, the general OST is also good and pretty original for most important scenes and add to atmosphere properly.
A solid romance that is worth the watch, and actually , an actual welcome change from the very monotonous season 1, however most of the old characters which I am sure were favorites do get a little lesser love .

I will admit I always wanted to be that one plain-looking guy who at crunch time managed to fight off bad guys bare-handed, steal their weapons pull off some sick reloads and headshots while my crush watched me save the day, and goes doki doki!!
There are two kinds of adults, the first are embarrassed by their childhood self and will surely cringe at the statement I made above If not report it xD and the other who still have a child hidden inside them, unable to let go of all the cool power moves and ninja signs the affinity one might have if they are
...
more like the latter will definitely help you love this show more objectively speaking since in kagejitsu, we finally meet a chunnibyo who is actually everything he says he is! sign me the fuck up! Every second of the action is set up to make him look like a cool ninja Edgelord who is all-powerful, all-seeing, and all-knowing although the first might actually hold true the rest is another story.
Kagejitsu is a power fantasy parody, so for it to suit your taste you need to accept the fact that there will never be a tense fight, but Animes like overlord and this (both are rather similar in this regard) have quick but literal meta-breaking fights which are always overkill to the point that you feel pity for the bad guy, all this while the Protag remains oblivious to the true nature of things because he is rather ignorant /dumb.
The only difference between the comedic style of overlord and kagejitsu is,to quote my overlord season 4 review “The way overlord carries comedy with it how ainz is supposed to be benevolent the all-knowing the all-seeing yet inside, he is the most confused person in the room!” Shadow only cares about being the coolest person in the room, so he will keep making shit up as long as it makes him seem so (even though he accidentally ends up being correct!).
Plot (9/10)
The protag has a simple yet twisted goal, he wants to be a normal-looking guy who is actually an eminence in shadow ie his alter ego is basically the strongest person although his named self is the normiest of normies. The show has Amazing pacing for an isekai, it wastes no time in introducing a new and vast cast, and still manages to make sure that the quirk and charm of these characters are well-balanced and explores it enough for a perfectly timed gag, the plot itself is basically shadow-making up crap that more often than not is a convenient flavor text for him, but a reality for the actual world is quite an interesting and hilarious take because to my knowledge he still believes that they are all roleplaying with him xD. It is quite the feat that so many characters have an intertwined story with each having a ‘role to play’ in shadow sama’s VISION.
characters(10/10)
I can't believe the number of waifus this show has produced in mere minutes of each of them being on screen, going from obvious fetish bait to quite endearing and adorable waifus with very distinct personalities. Within 20 episodes we get introduced to a whole slew of characters, and well its no wonder that all the members of shadow garden happen to be hot slime-wearing ladies UwU. but each gets their own time to shine si what makes them truly worth being invested in.
Sound and VA (8/10)
THe amazing VA is what helps land most of the jokes, some hidden gags that can only be understood if you were Japanese were well expressed by the subs , so props to the fandom for that. the ost is pretty overused and except of some very epic I AM ATOMIC moments its usually something you heard the last episode. The ED is better than the OP in my opinion.
Art and animation (7/10)
Fights are short and the animation that comes with the more epic scenes definitely outshines any other scenes hence it feels unbalanced, I also do not know why but every scene in the anime seems very 480 p even after turning 1080 p on in many different websites (the exception is the ed ‘ART’ )
A good watch for isekai and power fantasy fans, those who find themselves mostly cringing at the jokes should probably watch for only 3 episodes to see if the plot is strong enough for them to continue onwards.

Bocchi the rock is the best underrated anime of this season period, hell it can even be a contender for anime of the year if you ask me.
Great characters , to frankly amazing fluid animation with a good blend of 3d and 2d , amazing gag comedy that far surpasses the quality of its 4 koma manga , great direction and understanding of the escapists and the frankly out of the world vivid escapism and a very good understanding of the introverts and their daily struggle.
Bocchi began as a generic slice of life that i probably thought would go as far as making its music
...
a side hustle or even forgotten outright , but it is able to blend both with a good portrayal of the struggles of an up and coming band while also being able to keep its comedic tone, and helping us see good character development for the whole cast , not just bocchi.
I can only think of praises when i think of this anime , Cloverworks went ahead and redeemed themselves completely this times with so many bangers following their ….. disaster of yesteryears.
Plot (9/10)
Plot is a good and balanced mix of a band entering the music industries as well as great graphic comedy with very innovative animation as well , the journey of the girls is great with many slice of life moments as well as killer performances and rock music trivia.
Characters (9/10)
I thought it would be standard color and personality coded moe girls and i was right and wrong , since it is kind of the truth but it is the personality and chemistry of the characters are so good that it makes up for its tropey nature.
Sound and VA (10/10)
The ost for a music anime has to be good and in that regard this won't disappoint, the mini songs of bocchi and the band songs , the op and the end are all amazing . The VA of bocchi needs a shoutout as well and also a raise she does an amazing job , the other characters do also a pretty good job making most of joke actually hit.
Art and animation (10/10)
Unbelievably good animation , especially during the Gag moments . The band performance have frankly the best 3d cgi i have seen this season , a total example that every anime should follow .
The best show of the season and a must watch.

Spy family is the most millennial-friendly anime to come out in years, the anime shy's away from any and all controversial twists barely shows us any progression, introduces a new waifu, cz a new waifu a season keeps horny in check, and provides us an illusion of choice although, we all know the girl that came on screen before, will win.
The second part of season 1 of spy family has a grand total of 3 episodes with any story progression, and the rest of the time we go from mildly funny gags to interesting fillers which tease you on character development but then cuck
...
and cut.
The story force feeds a tennis match, a yor x loid moment which does not have the only saving grace of this anime, Anya. the problem seems to be that any scene that does not have Anya or her antics leans way too much towards the generic side of things, the tennis match felt like we were being treated like kids with the most generic commentary that spoon-fed you information that you don't even want.
The only story progression that I could see this season was, Anya getting along with Bond, the dog, and the introduction of Fiona, but the way most other episodes just keep dragging on without any relevance to the story or making any good gags, they mostly rely on the old gags being re/overused.
Plot (5/10)
We keep going in circles and circles without getting a hint of development or progression, this is the mission, loid do mission, turns out the mission had no point, the fucking end. Meanwhile an unnecessary character is introduced to make it seem like Yor has to compete and “Conquer loid” for real this time, complete textbook romance anime move that one.
Characters(5/10)
The characters of the spy family had always been pretty good, this season they remain unique and quirky but much more extra focus is given to the newer characters, and a lot of secondary characters that we loved before, fade into irrelevance.
Animation and art (9/10)
I mean its a collaboration between the two leading studios in anime, the art is crisp and picturesque, but only when we are in the school does it fall off a bit, animation in the anime is also good, just like the last cour and is a pretty big overkill considering the genre. the art in the OP was downright just gorgeous and so was the animation, there is not a single doubt that it is a contender for Opening of the year, the ed is also good but not as good as the last one.
Sound and VA (8/10)
VA is good with the kids, Yor’s VA is legendary and truly got to flex her muscles with the Yor being drunk scenes, loid mostly plays the straight man and hence has not got many exciting VA moments, the OST is mostly reused from part 1 with not many new ones being present but its still varied and pretty good.
Eye candy and sluice of life are what attract and keep the audience of this anime, if this is what you wish for then great, you won't be disappointed, but as for me, someone who believed that the story had good potential, I can't help but being letdown when the whole season just kept going in circles, keeping to the old gags and character profile to try to remain relevant.It can be a must-watch or a watch when you need fluff without a story depending on what you are looking for.
