Ah, we've reached the end of Makina-san, one out of three main Ecchi/Erotica shows of the season, alongside Yandere Elf and Takamine. Makina-san is a pretty simple anime, but its vision is clear from the get go, and it delivers on it. It's not a deep anime by any means, and its production values seem pretty cheap, but in the end I think it's a fun anime for those looking for what the series very clearly set out to offer: Nudity.
The main characters are nothing to write home about. Eita (MC) is the regular generic nerd who gets shy at a sight of a woman.

Age gap romances seem to be quite a rarity these days, and it's even harder to find a good one. That is, until I read Musume Janakutte Watashi ga Suki nano. The name might sound silly, but the story and characters behind are fantastic.
It started from a throwaway manga that I read when bored, to one of my favorites of all times. The manga is a rather slowburn romance so it does take some time for things to actually move, but we do get a lot of development, and seeing how the characters evolve throughout the story. We're also presented with various challenges and dilemmas, especially when ...

A rushed, disappointing, nonsensical manga with unfortunately interesting characters and underlying story potential.
I don't know if this is because of a bad adaptation (LN->Manga) or the source is like that as well, but everything in this manga is very rushed and rarely explained. Events occur and are quickly resolved, chapters end with no follow up in the next, and it's a mess. The side girls are definitely cute but they fall very quickly for MC for no apparent reason. The MC himself is rather shallow. He's a good dude but also is a horndog (which I don't exactly mind) but his relationships with the side cast isn't well ...

Isekai Suicide Squad
(Anime)
add
The plot doesn't make sense, but that's also what makes it so good.
In short, I feel like they did a pretty good job in making a fun show to watch without really fussing on having to think deeply about its content. The only experience I had previously with Suicide Squad was the 2021 movie, which got me to know a couple of characters here (some are from other DC works) but even then they all felt varied and fresh. The fights were generally good and well animated (barring episode 1 which was pretty bad, and barring the random CGI monsters). OST was also on point, and the ED ...

Gimai Seikatsu
(Anime)
add
What happens when you take Domestic Girlfriend but take out all of its plot, character interactions and spice and proceed to give it to AI to stretch and fluff it to an actual show? You get Gimai Seikatsu.
A relatively promising anime with an interesting premise and interesting character chemistry but quickly it all fades away as you realize that practically nothing happens. Episodes are full of meaningless dialogue and are fluffed up by random things that are stretched over courses of entire episodes and do nothing to move the non existent plot forward. I wish I had more to write about it, but I just can't. Dropped, ...

An unfortunately generic anime that has its music wasted on it.
Every season we get dime a dozen of anime like this. Either an Isekai or a Fantasy (or both) with the concept of "but X". This time, it's a generic copy and paste BUT the demon general is actually a human. Unfortunately, it changes nothing. The MC is generically OP, but is also the super nice guy and savior with no extra features or qualities. On the side, we have our own share of cute or hot girls who are all around the MC but are equally uninteresting. The CGI in this anime (for monsters, effects, spells, etc.) ...

A manga worth reading for the Ecchi alone.
I've found this manga very randomly a while ago and went through it rather quickly. It's definitely good. The characters are cute and varied in personalities and designs, and the situations they're being put it are definitely worth a chuckle. While the story isn't very strong, I don't feel like that was the main point of the manga anyways, although there are small developments here and there. Unfortunately, while the manga does seem to tease us over the course of the manga with development, I feel like the author didn't want to commit to anything and therefore I found ... 
May 5, 2024 Recommended Informative 
Now that MAL finally marks this manga as completed, I can finally review it. I've been following this series since the very beginning, reading it raw almost weekly as chapters came out.
It's definitely a good Ecchi series in my opinion. To be clear, it has a very clear purpose in what it wants to do, so if you like this sort of thing, I think it can be a very fun experience. While there is a general story, most chapters are kinda standalone, and have their own shenanigans happening in each chapter. They can all be summed up as Nezu (MC) getting caught up in some weird-ass ...

Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuu Kimama na Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu suru
(Anime)
add
An unfortunately disappointing anime with a somewhat unique premise that could've played differently.
In short, Rishe, the main character, is already "too perfect". She is incredibly smart, and therefore can outsmart literally anyone in the show, even those that are supposed to pose a challenge to her. On the one hand, she acts independently and goes out there and does her own things, but on the other hand, the moment Arnold (the male MC) is involved, she melts into a blushing mess. I haven't found the romance to be particularly good. I don't really think there's much chemistry between the two leads. Rishe claims he wants ...

Undead Girl Murder Farce
(Anime)
add
Undead Girl Murder Farce was probably the talk of the season in many circles. From Reddit to various YouTubers, this anime showed a lot of promise to a lot of people, but unfortunately, it never delivered on its promise.
At the end of the day, I feel like it was still kind of entertaining. The fights were somewhat cool, the character cast was interesting, and the mystery parts in the show were also pretty interesting. But unfortunately all of it fell apart when there was no proper "glue" to stick them together into a coherent, interesting storyline and there are a few key problems in the ... |
