What a terrible run, what was once an interesting anime in a sea of generic isekai has become yet another generic isekai.

This season is basically divided in two parts: the first one is mostly about Rudeus having a relationship with a side character that gives of that filler feeling to it since they won't have any active role or relevance to the main story; the second part is about Rudeus meeting Sylphie, but they just keep on stalling this meet, or rather having Sylphiette reveal who she really is.

This season is also the cringiest so far, edginess levels that are very embarrassing to watch, the ...

This is how Makoto Shinkai reaches his first major block, a great example that beauty without content is just shallowness.

The story is too packed however it never fully develops anything. Suzume remembers Souta despite seeing him when she was 4 and she cannot even see his face? It is implied that Suzume's mum died from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, but why does it have be so subliminal? Also, why does Makoto Shinkai have Suzume ask around about her mum as if she was doing it for several days (at least this was the impression I had instead of someone asking over and over)? What is ...

This anime depicts what chuunibyou see when they are having their delusions of grandeur: main character is basically a god (he is literally all powerful, all knowing - at least for his followers - and all present), he has 500 elf waifus of all ethnic backgrounds and the whole late 2000's emo vibe to it thinking he is the last cookie of the package.

The show has this recurrent gag of having the main character in the main spot even though he says that he wants to be a background character. Sometimes it even feels like he is auto sabotaging, because how can he be so ...

Stone Ocean could have been a great input in this terrible series, Jolyne is probably the most likeable JoJo, before the most popular Joseph and my person favourite Jonathan, but her character is terribly used as usual by the creator of the story, the same can be said about Weather Report. All the other character are either forgettable or feel forced into the story, like Ermes, Anastasia and Emporio.

The story itself is a clusterfuck you are left wondering what the villain actually wants to achieve, some elements of previous JoJo's are repeated in this season which shows a clear lack of originality, despite the author ...

Tokyo Revengers is one of those mangas that build up its story so high only to see itself crumble from the author's lack of verisimilitude.

Being a time leap story there are some fundamentals that every reader will be curious about: why is the main character time leaping? How is he doing it? When is he travelling to? Is the present affected by the changes in the past? Most of these questions are answered throughout the arcs and for most of the manga the time leaping is quite consistent and well explained on those fundamental questions. Except for the last arc, we do have learn new ...

In a 20-episodes season, I wasn't expecting 6 filler episodes, especially episode 9. All of the filler episodes can be skipped (7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 17) and you won't miss anything, even because some of them don't make sense like how two antagonists interact on episode 9 and on episode 10 they seem to be interacting for the first with each other.

This series is also a bit weird because it feels too short by the amount of upgrades the Magic Knights get, but since most antagonists are boring and the fights are shallow if the show was longer it would have been a drag.

Funny ...

Kakegurui Twin is a canon prequel for Kakegurui that happen right after Mary Saotome joins as a 1st year student in the school most fans don't even bother remembering its name because being a school is irrelevant.

The first thing you will notice is Saotome's personality retcon, watch the first episode of Kakegurui and the first episode of Twin, they aren't the same character, so this is a huge issue for the character because we are not talking about a spin-off, or an alternative setting, this is a canon prequel and we are supposed to accept that Saotome went through a "reset". Then we get Hanatemari, ...

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is an unimpressive creation that if you give much thought about it you will start to annoy yourself. First things first, you don't have to watch the whole Dragon Ball series to understand this, the narrator does a good enough job explaining what needs to be explained, so if you are going on a blank slate you will be able to understand if you pay attention to what is said and the flashback shown, so anyone can watch this and understand the message that it is trying to pass.

From the start, the Red Ribbon Army presence in the film is ...

The first 6 episodes of the show are spent on, mostly, Rimuru's side preparing for the Demon Lords' meeting and the war against Demon Lord Clayman and by prepare it means 6 long episodes of talks that could have been done in three episodes considering how much information is repeated and useless talk is done.

The next 6 have more action on them, alongside some talking as well, following a more adventure like story, but those early 6 episodes that were spent talking too much would have made a difference here, 3 more episodes spent on the war, after getting some hype over Clayman's best men ...
