A generic fantasy/adventure story with quite a bit of comedy put in it, following someone that went into adveturing at the old age of 30.

Even though the story is generic, the comedy, which sometimes hits, sometimes it's a bit dry, does make it more enjoyable. The context is a bit absurd, so don't expect normalcy or try of it in the plot, but that's good for me as it knows what it is and how it started and how it should go. The story does touch onto a pretty sensitive subject, even for a young guy like me, that I feel like everyone thought about ...

A slow falling in love story of a magical girl and an evil lieutenant, just like the title says, and it's done in a really good way.

Unfortunetaly, the author, Fujiwara Cocoa, passed away in 2015, at a young age of 31, and such the source material barely had 3 volumes worth of story to go off on, having to add new things to it as even the last "volume" was a really short one lacking enough chapters. But this, for me at least, adds a whole new nuance over the anime, as it was made after 9 years, like a tribute to the author. Even ...

A movie that tells the story of a 2 teenagers and their interactions with a tunnel that gives you something in exchange for your lifespan.

I might be an outliner, but I cannot say I liked it a lot. Felt very fast paced, some things didn't make much sense, the interactions felt a lot of times very... robotic? Scripted? Not enough time for me to get attached to anyone much, the climax and the main point of the story felt rushed as hell and we were left wondering about certain things... at least if they extended it a bit more and said more about what comes ...

In my opinion, this is a hidden gem. Would never hear about it if it wasn't for the Awards Winning anime category on this website, and oh boy, was this a journey I was caught without notice.

It is a story that was inspired by multiple simulations of what would happen if an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 would hit Tokyo, as I guess you already understood by the title, and it follows a sister from 7th grade, her little brother from 3rd grade and an initially stranger that also has a daugher (but not with her) trying to go back to their homes which are in ...

A movie that tells the story of a powerful mother trying to raise her 2 kids alone, which are half human half werewolf, and the numerous (hard) decisions that she needs to make to fullfill her wish of raising them both the best she can, as she doesn't know much about half werewolf kids and their needs.

This anime was quite a bag of emotions, from really tragic ones, to really happy, to really peaceful. Truly showing the adventure of the mother and her journey to raise her kids alone, and the kids journey to find their own paths in life and have the ability to ...

Hidden gem of an anime. A reverse isekai slice of life of a princess that lives with a good natured man and another slice of life of her attendant trying to find her place in that world, both being top tier stories in their own right.

Wholesome anime overall. Really made me feel the episodes go by too fast. We have a variety of cast of characters that influence each other's actions, and even though some of them might not have had too much screen time to differentiate themselfes more from the stereotype they represent, it is still a good salad bowl of eccentrics that you ...

4 girls finding each other and helping each other get over the each individual's struggles with life by having a common goal and being together.

While this sounds like the power of friendship, that's because this is the power of friendship (quite a bit).

The story in short is about an ex-idol that wants to sing again, an artist that lost her love for art, a huge fan of that said ex-idol that was very influenced in a positive manner by that idol when she was active and a reclusive that is a vtuber. The story isn't hard to grasp, they each meet trough certain circumstances ...

A love story between a lonely sorcerer that is quite powerful and an elf slave that he buys.

This review is a bit shorter, as I am not really in the mood of writing much, but if I don't do it now, ik I'll never will. :)

In short, it is an anime with a basic premise, basic plot that can be guessed from quite a mile away and characters that are pretty typical to such stories. BUT it has its charm. I don't mind reused stuff or generic things, as long as there is enjoyable for the most part, and this anime is.

The plot is ...

Cute girls doing cute things in a military/war environment, in a world where nobody can actually die. as they get revived, with a bit of gore put in it that was unexpected (at least for me).

This story took me by suprise a bit in the sense that I did not expect it to be so goreish in some episodes. It was a welcomed one tho, as I enjoy such things.

The story is along the lines of a young girl gets put as a general to lead a small army made of criminals into battles, battles which are mostly for entertainment cuz in that world ...

A love story that actually makes some progress, childhood friend vs new girl, alas, the MC follows a bit the generic anime MC, which makes a lot of moments easily readeable, but not all!

This story is a fun one to watch, cringe at times, but it delivers. Has some unique elements thrown in it that are at the back bone of the story, but it's an anime, just go with it. It might have a bit of a problem at the beginning because it follows for a few episodes the same pattern, feeling like there is not much progress made, but imo it's better this ...
