Imawa kuni no alice RETRY is the 2rd spin off to one of my favorites mangas of all time Imawa kuni no alice , the events of this sequel takes place years after the events of the original , arisu the mc is transported again to the borderlands this time to play the 9 of hearts game , i wont get into details of the game , it rules or the ending in order not to spoil you guys . A new cast of characters were introduced but they werent that interesting expect for the antagonist , although a bit basic but entertaining nonetheless
. In the end this spin off covered only one game which was a shame , since there was a lot of things the author could have done especially with the ending of the original , so it was a short but an enjoyable read and even better than the 1st spin off , overall 8/10

Sadly the anime didn't conclude at the part i was hoping it would do , but the final episode was quite impactful .
Story 9/10
Without getting too much into spoilers , it starts as a cheap rip off of my hero , then it evolves into this among us narrative with mind games and psychological thriller elements in the mix.Unfortunately it suffers from a huge amount of plot contrivances and even plot contradictions especially at the first couple episodes .I dare say this the anime i watched with the most plot problems ever . A small detail which the studio added that wasn't present in the
manga is that important characters were shown early before their main arc began .
Art and Animation 8/10
They changed the art style used in the manga , which looked off in some of the characters , animation was obviously limited , but the amount of artistic touches from the part of the direction is what carried the show , like the added visuals or when the color pallets changes in character's inner monologues.
Sound 8/10
There is mainly 2 or 3 osts that are worth noting , opening was cool but it didn't stand out that much in comparison to the epic opening we got thus year . The ending song on the other hand was so touching for me as a manga reader since i understood the symbolism , its definitely ending of the year for me . Also let not forget about the voice actors and especially nana's , she did very well it exceeded my expectations .
Characters 8/10
And now we reach the most controversial part of the anime , its characters. Nana is a solid protagonist a magnificent bastard type of character similar to light yagami , but contrary to him she got a backstory and a lot of characterization which made a lot of viewers sympathies with her , kyoya is a cool rival/deutaragonist with his mysterious ability and high IQ . But sadly other characters are presented as these stupid naive kids which was disappointing and annoying for a lot of anime/manga readers alike . But this dynamic changes with the introduction of some couple of characters later on .
Enjoyment 9/10
Easily my favorite anime of this year , and a overall a better experience than the manga
Overall 9/10
This show has it fair share of problems , but i found myself invested and hyped with story and its many twists and turns in the narrative , i highly recommend it

In this review of this , i will try to talk about the whole show and not only the 3rd season , so bear with me , also forgive my English .
Story 8/10
-Easily my fav part about this show , its a shonen romance/drama with some comedy in thrown in the mix , it tells the story of saiko and his friend takagi who are thriving to be famous mangakas in weekly shonen jump ehm ehm shonen jack. the protagonist falls in love with his classmate azuki then they make a promise to get married when his manga gets an anime adaptation and
she becomes the va of the heroine in his story .This premise hooked me from the get go as someone who is interested in the anime/manga industry , and this show was super informative , it also showed the dark nature , bad sides of being a mangaka and how it can take a toll on the body and the mind .the romace portrayed in this show was imo too pure/perfect to be called realistic but i didnt mind it , and in the end i was satified with it . Another thing to note is thta the anime adapted the whole manga although they skipped some minor arcs .
Art and animation 6/10
-The worst part about this show , animation is not impressive , art looks off and faces with eyes so small that looks weird as hell .
Sound 8/10
- I liked the soundtracks used , they were hyper motivational , op 1 , 2 and 3 are iconic and spam able.
Characters 7/10
-I wasn't a big fan of the mc , but other characters carried the show mainly:
Azuki , the heroine of the show , she was a bit too perfect but she was likable af
Chief editor , super intimidating with an overwhelming presence
Aoki , i liked her development , she went from an arrogant bitch to kind and humble lady
Minamine , the villain of the show , i liked him at the beginning but i wasnt a big fan of his characterization which was similar to yagami light
Nizuma , the main antagonist , he isn't a villain but he is a quirky character
Enjoyment 8/10
-Obviously i enjoyed my time watching this show , if i didn't i wouldn't have finished 75 episodes of it , as someone who spends hours fantasizing about imaginary plots it was my cup of tea , it even inspired me to draw some story boards back in the summer vacation.
Overall 8/10
-To conclude , tsugimi sesnsei is a veteren author who not only can write excellent psychological mangas like death note and All you need is kill , but he can also write drama and romance .This an unique experience not to miss for old anime watchers.

I thought talentless nana is ending today , turns out it was the first cour of Moriarty the patriot is the one actually ending , so i decided to do a small review about it .
Story 8/10
- Its a psychological shonen set in Victorian era England with crime drama elements in it where we follow in the first half moriarty a genius mathematician who calls himself a crime consultant , along with his siblings he is trying to change the social class system through crimes and manipulation . Its a solid story and my coup of tea , but similar to other shows with
intelligence and manipulation in them it suffers from many plot contrivances , another thing i disliked is there is this fujoshi sub text going on in this anime although it is supposed to be a shonen . The show follow the crime of the week formula at the beginning but the arcs got longer near the end .
Art and animation 7/10
-Personally i liked the art style used , animation wasn't impressive but that is not that important cuz its not an action anime .
Sound 8/10
-The opening is best op of the year for me , as for the ending , it gets a lot of hate , but it did grow on me
Characters 7/10
-Only 2 characters who are worth noting are : sherlock holmes , the well known detective , and moriarty who is by far one of my fav magnificent bastard type of characters , the villains of the show come of as cartoonicaly evil and uninteresting , but i think they were written that way to impose the themes of corruption of the social system .
-Enjoyment 8/10
The show was super enjoyable , my second favorite show of the season , and some of the plans moriarty came up with were impressive . As a big fan of the psychological genre i m impressed .
-Overall 8/10
To conclude , this year was weak in terms of new shows , but it contains some hidden gems like this one , not to miss for crime dramas fans.

I finally decided to sit and watch the movie blood c : the lat dark so i can experience the ending of this epic tragedy .
Story 7/10
Basically its the last chapter in the long journey of saya and the final fight with the main villain and the elder ones , it was rushed a lot tbh , i would preferred if it was 2 movies or even a mini season. Like the first season , this movie suffers from plot holes/conveniences which isnt that big of a problem.
Art and animation 9/10
They kept the same art style of the anime with some minor adjustment , but
this movie shines in the animation department , it w2as a feast for the eyes, also they used a cg monster , but it was the good kind of cg .
Sound 6/10
They used the main ost from s1 just once which was a bit disappointing for me cuz i loved that track
Character6/10
Saya's design is superior to her anime version , but in term of personality she become cold and vengeful ,they introduced a bunch of new characters , but sadly they weren't that interesting for me. But the major problem i had with this movie is the main villain , when they revealed his true objective , it felt underwhelming and contradictory to his previous actions , it was such a letdown.
Enjoyement 7/10
Even though it had a lot of problems this movie was quite enjoyable especially cuz of the animation
Overall 7/10t
In the end ,this movie was an upgrade in the term of its animation t , but s1 had better story , that for sure

I noticed that s2 is gonna come out next season so i decided to finish the first season so i can watch it weekly.
Story 8/10
Its a psychological/slice of life story with romance in it and a little bit of mystery , it takes place in a world where animals are human like and herbivores coexists with carnivores , the main plot line is that the mc [a grey wolf] fell in love with a small female rabbit, basically its forbidden love .I like these kinds of stories but there were a lot of build up episodes so the pacing was slow
.
Art 7/10
The majority of the show is done with cg , but its the good kind of cg , frankly i think this the future of anime , cg is easier to animate and it less time consuming than hand drawings , and if it looks like this show i don't see it as a negative .
Sound 7/10
The op is one of my favs from 2019 , with the jazzy song and the unique visuals , as for the soundtracks used , there is one that plays in romantic scenes that i have been searching on YouTube but i couldn't find , its quite memorable.
Characters 7/10
Even though the show is character driven , the only 3 characters that i found interesting are : legosi the mc , louis the deutaragonist and the panda doctor , the others were kinda eeh , but that is just me .
Enjoyment 7/10
The anime was super enjoyable and especially in the yakuza lions arc
Overall 7/10
Although this anime had some small problems like slow pacing etc ... it managed to secure it place in my top 5 new animes of 2019

we are here again for another anime review , this time i will talk about blood c , a supernatural /mystery/action/horror similar to blood + [ which i couldn't finish ], but way better.
-Story 8/10
The premise is quite simple , it's about a girl named saya who uses a legendary sword to fight some man eating monsters called old bairn , it sounds a little bit standard but there is more to this story than meets the eye , so i wont spoil the good part , the story is basically super good and especially in the final episodes.The only main problem i had with
this show is that there is a lot of plot convenience and plot armor , the mc could have died at least 2 times in each episode but she survives each time cuz the plot demands it.
-Characters 7/10
There wasn't a lot of interesting characters maybe 3 or 4 at best including the mc , we don't know the motivation of the main villain yet , maybe it will get explained din the movie.
Art and animation 8/10
the choreography of the fights was on point , art was clean , and the gory scenes were gruesome .
-Sound 7/10
There is only one main ost that is worth noting , it is used in flashbacks and exposition scenes
, on the other hand the opening song was a banger , and ending was solid.
-Enjoyment 8/10
Although the show was quite slow at first , the hype of the final episodes made up for that and even carried this whole anime .
Overall 8/10
If you are into horror gory show , this show is definitely for you, the ending was mind blowing but it feels incomplete , so you have to watch the movie because it the continues from where the anime left of .

Ooh man what a ride , i will try to keep this review short without spoiling the story that much for anyone interested .
Yakshuko distpiari (weird name ik) is a dark fantasy story set in a world where everything is under control and surveillance which is a metaphor to our current age , the story takes the commonly used concept of the power of friendship and twist it which is quite unique and good at the same . The mc was an anti hero with some interesting philosophies , other characters weren't that good but overall the main character carried the story . Art
style used in this manga is quite cartoony , but it made the gore scenes more fucked and terrifying .
To conclude , although the ending was rushed due to the manga being axed , i enjoyed this read quite a lot 7/10

Knoya tsuki wa kirei is an action/psychological/thriller manga , and it's one of the first mangas i started reading , but i stopped because of slow releases . The story is about a new disease that turns emotions of love and affection into blood lust and desire to kill , which is a new idea but sadly it wasn't well executed . They introduced a lot of super powers down the line which turned the series into a battle shonen and the power scaling was all over the place , another thing is that in the middle , the plot got messy
with the introduction of some crazy cult antagonists that i didn't even bother to remember their name let alone . I liked the metaphors a lot and the character of yuna which imo saved this manga from being an absolute train wreck . To conclude i did enjoy this manga at the beginning but the later arcs were not that good , but i will definitely read part 2 when it gets completed , overall score 6/10

Sweet home is a post apocalyptic/horror webtoon by the same author of the great psychological thriller bastard . I will try to keep this review brief and i wont go into details .
There are 2 major reasons which made this manga stand out in the horror genre , first a lot of new concepts were added to the mix plus the monsters designs were unique/creepy at the same time , the second main reason is that it had some effective jump scares which is hard to execute in anime format let alone manga . But after all no work is perfect , sadly this
manhwa suffers from some serious problems mainly the forced ending which i didn't like that much , and by the end of the story they didn't explain shit about the origin of the monsters neither their non stopping evolving nature . To conclude , sweet home is a solid webtoon overall , but the mediocre ending didn't let it have a much better score 7/10
