After reading several reviews of this anime, I have realized that there is a very important confusion about the work.
Most people say that it is a "Harem" anime, even that it is the pinnacle of that genre. Now, although it is true that it technically meets the characteristics to be in that genre (a boy and many girls in love with him), the reality is that this work is different.
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is actually an anime that talks about "Polyamory." I don't know if it is the first anime to do it in a serious way (there
...
are so many animes that it is impossible to see them all), but it must be one of the first, and it does it very well.
We are not facing a protagonist who "likes all of them", but one who, in addition to loving them, also all of them, are "the love of his life."
An additional fact, and not easily seen, is that the rest of the girls join this love and all love this polyamorous family. It is true that in other anime like The Testament of Sister New Devil even all the girls marry the protagonist. But it is different.
The key point is that in most harem anime, there is a competition between the girls, because, deep down, they all want to be the only one.
This does not happen here. Here all the girls are comfortable with the protagonist, not only do they like other women, but they also love them as much as they do. In fact, they promote this action by calling it "a family." This great difference is something incredibly original and that gives the plot a spirit of rebellion, morbidity and pleasure rarely seen in any anime of any genre.
Dear reader, when you see this anime (because I recommend it), you will realize that I am right.
Finally, there is another aspect to clarify, and that is the irreverent and spicy comedy. It is an ecchi anime where it is not only about showing fan service (which is not excessive, but very rewarding for those of us who love the genre), but also entering into erotic and spicy situations so sensual and intelligent that you will not know whether to laugh or not.
As a negative point, and even understanding that this work was made to be an eternal manga and a 2-season anime, I must say that 100 girlfriends is too much.
It is simply imperative for any narrative and plot. It is unsustainable. It would be better to dedicate yourself to exploiting polyamory with a more reasonable number (for example, 10). The feeling is that there are so many, that sooner or later the connection between the girls will be lost and the magic that makes this work beautiful will end.
THE GOOD. An original work, really original that talks about polyamory in an intelligent and funny way.
THE BAD. It's okay to want to eat the world, but 100? That's a bad joke.
SPEECHLESS. That's how the spicy moments will leave you. They reach the limit!

The AiKa saga never ceases to amaze me now that I'm taking the time to watch it.
I'm impressed by the amount of stupid analysis you can read online from people who are paralyzed by the fan service and can't make a good story.
AiKa R -16 is a prequel that tells us about the first big adventure of our famous protagonist. Without wasting time, we are introduced to an intelligent, adventurous, but above all, brave AiKa.
Three important concepts can be highlighted during the development of the plot.
The first is the formation of a trio of tough friends, AiKa, Eri and Karen. The author understood that he
...
only had three chapters and thanks to that he does not waste time developing the characters. In a short time you will get to feel their personality and that will hook you with the story.
Second, an engaging and challenging plot. Once again, there are only three chapters. But that is enough for the author to generate interest in the plot, create a plot knot and leave a well-made outcome, which at the same time leaves the promise for a sequel.
Third, a large dose of fs, which fans of the genre will enjoy at every moment. Please, let's not give space to people who say "fan service is not necessary" For your information, fan service is a genre! Saying that fan service is not necessary is like saying that love is not necessary in the development of a romantic story.
The reality is that the AiKa saga is an example of a great story, great characters with a dose of fan serivce and all in perfect balance.
It is a MUST see for lovers of the genre.
THE GOOD. Perfect balance between fan service, Plot and characters.
THE BAD. Only three chapters? Why?
THE SAD. The paladins of good customs who are willing to destroy everything they don't agree with instead of being objective.

Classroom for Heroes is one of those anime that make a revelation, and after watching them, you can better understand the anime.
Let me explain:
Anime, like other artistic expressions, has genres. One of the main ones is comedy.
However, after watching Classroom for Heroes, I realized that anime actually has two types of comedy. The first is the classic, which can be compared to the same comedy from TV series or movies. Examples? Ranma 1/2, Spy x Family, or One Punch Man.
However, there is another branch of humor in anime. I’ll call it “Crazy Japanese Humor.” What kind of comedy is this? This comedy is characterized by
...
being crazy, illogical, and irreverent. To help the reader understand, I will give two examples that take the genre to the limit: Excel Saga or Dotto! Koni-chan.
In these anime, logic loses its meaning. The important thing is to be crazy, and there are no considerations to take it to the extreme. Other newer examples would be KonoSuba or Akiba’s Trip. I invite the reader to compare the humor of any of these anime with Spy x Family, and you will realize that it is not enough to be funny here. You have to be crazy!
Classroom for Heroes is an example of this “Crazy Japanese Humor” genre, although obviously, it does not take the genre to the limit, definitely, its value lies not in telling a great story, but rather, in being crazy, irreverent, and making people laugh.
I make this introduction, dear reader, so that you know what we are talking about with this anime. There are no great mysteries, no great plot, but the value of this anime is not in that. The author neither tries nor seeks it. The important thing is to laugh, and guys, you will laugh a lot here.
Because this anime touches on a niche genre, it is not for everyone, but without a doubt, if you enjoy anime like Excel Saga or KonoSuba, you will find in Classroom for Heroes a good anime that will make your afternoons pleasant.
THE GOOD. You can forget about logic and just focus on laughing.
THE BAD. You laugh, but not that much. It’s an average anime, far from masterpieces of the genre.
THE HIGHLIGHT. This anime has many characters, and I would say that all of them develop well. At first, I thought the author would not achieve it, but in character development, he definitely got a 10.

Jobless Reincarnation is an anime that I really enjoy watching. While watching this new season, I asked myself over and over again the exact reason for this.
The answer was simple: it has an impressive narrative. It's hard to explain, but for some reason, you never feel bored. You enjoy every moment. It's almost therapeutic.
In this new season, we follow the adventures of the protagonist after the abandonment he suffered by his beloved Eris.
Now, broken and without a real desire to live, Rudeus must find himself, revalue himself as a man and as a person, and find new reasons to live.
The above would be the summary
...
of what happens in these first 12 chapters. It is mainly a spiritual search of the protagonist to recover his pride and desire to continue living.
What is really surprising is that there is little progress in the development of the story. There is only one chapter where there are interesting advances about the mystery of who the protagonist is and why he is in that world.
However, it seems that the main plot can wait, because what is the use of advancing in the main plot if the protagonist is spiritually lost?
In conclusion, the continuation of Jobless Reincarnation is undoubtedly a pleasant reunion with this magical world and its protagonist. Don't expect significant progress in the story, however, the personal follow-up that is made to the protagonist's emotions is so beautiful and so deep that you really enjoy each chapter.
Highly recommended for fans. Non-fans, if they enjoy life-reunion and magical arts anime, will find a new universe that will undoubtedly motivate them to watch the story from the beginning.
THE GOOD: A great narrative. Almost spiritual.
THE BAD: Very little progress to the main plot. One can't help but feel stuck.
I AM NOT READY to judge this second season. We must wait for the final chapters.

I started watching this anime in 2002, but I only saw the first three episodes. At the time, I was just a teenager without much money, so it was difficult to find the complete series. However, those first three episodes left such an impression on me that I always wanted to see the rest.
Today, 22 years later, I finally had the chance to finish it.
The first thing I want to say is that those first three episodes are definitely even better today than they were 12 years ago. This anime really starts off very well. A mix of great characters, an intriguing story with the
...
promise of getting deeper and deeper, and a great touch of humor whet our appetite for more. There's no doubt that I had a good eye 22 years ago.
However, ironically, the anime starts to fail after the fourth episode. It's as if the author had spent all his intellect at the beginning of the story and then didn't know how to develop it. It's clear that it had great potential. But for some reason, the anime starts to become silly, empty, and hollow. In some episodes, the viewer can't help but wonder, "If you're promising me a good narrative, why does the author end up dedicating two episodes to pure comedy without contributing anything to the real plot?" This anime is only 13 episodes long.
The lack of follow-up to the main plot is so great that in the last episode, even the protagonists are still as confused about the development of events as they were in the first two episodes. What a waste!
In short, Samurai Girl Real Bout High School is one of those stories that could have been great. It had everything going for it, but the author got lazy and ended up making an anime that, while not bad, is an average comedy that you can enjoy but will forget about.
The GOOD. Charming characters. The protagonist, besides being beautiful, has a personality that makes you feel like she's "your friend."
THE BAD. After three episodes, the author gives up on an interesting narrative and dedicates himself to an average comedy.
SEPARATED AT BIRTH: Ryoko Mitsurugi, the protagonist of this story, looks like a twin of Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin, and of Juubei Yagyuu from Samurai Girls. It seems that 20 years ago in anime, it was a requirement to be red-haired and long-haired to be a samurai.

Tenpuru was a pleasant surprise for me.
I admit that my expectations were not very high when I started. In recent years, the harem genre has not surprised me much, as it seems that the authors are doing their best to give their least effort (it's ironic, but it is true).
Here, however, I found a very funny anime. I loved the way the author develops the personality of each of the characters. Unlike other anime of the same genre, such as The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, where the personality of each of the girls does not fully exploit, here everything works well.
Each character has a
...
past, illusions, talents, and insecurities that make them unique, and in a few chapters, you will get hooked on each character.
The story is not a big deal, however, I emphasize that, once again, it was sought to narrate something interesting and not just fill chapters with garbage comedy.
Not to go on too long, Tenpuru is a simple, light, but above all, fun anime. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed.
THE GOOD. Good character development.
THE BAD. The protagonist's "chastity" can be sickening and annoying at times.
NO DOUBT. You will find CUTE girls in this anime.

My experience with The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses was very strange. I expected a lot from the fan service. I expected very little from the story. Ironically, everything was the opposite.
In terms of ecchi, it is an anime, for experts in the genre, without much merit. Of course, the girls are cute, but nothing remarkable. Average ecchi level, leaning towards low. The strange thing is that, even though these girls don't show much skin, the animation quality makes them look gorgeous. Wow! These girls are beautiful! And the fan service scenes are well-received.
In terms of story, while it is not a new work by
...
Shakespeare, it is above an average ecchi-harem comedy anime of recent years (for example, Renai Flops, or Immoral Guild). What makes it enjoyable is the past of each girl. Understanding why each one acts, thinks, and feels that way.
It is something quite pleasant. There is not a single girl who does not have an interesting past and that challenges the protagonist in some way.
Of course, it is nothing out of this world, but if you decide to watch this anime, and you like simple anime. You will like this story.
Finally, I like the protagonist. He is not a fool or insecure. He is a respectful guy, but when he gets the opportunity, even though he is not a shameless person, he is not afraid to show his desire for the girls. More protagonists like this!
In conclusion, The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, is one of those average animes, that by whims of the industry have great success (the second season has already been announced when there are a thousand better animes that will never have one). It will not bore you, but it does not leave you with anything relevant.
THE GOOD. Good development of the female characters with a great focus on their past.
THE BAD. The fan service had potential and never explodes.
THE WORST. That there is no uncensored version

After finishing watching Najica, the only word I could use to describe what I saw was: Wow!
I remember when Najica appeared and so-called "specialized" media (that had nothing to do with specialization), they called it a copy of Aika. As I was very young back then, and it wasn't as easy for me to access Najica as it is now, I simply let it go.
Now, several years later (many years later), I was able to see this great Najica. What's it about?
Najica takes us to a world of a secret agent whose goal is to unravel the mystery behind some artificial humans called "Humanrritt". These
...
"Humanrritt" are not robots, but neither are they humans. They are humans created from science, with superior physical abilities, but with low reasoning skills (at least that's what they appear to have). On the contrary, Humanrrit always have a human who is their master, and they obey them blindly. To fulfill her mission, Najica must work with a Humanrritt named "Lila".
At first, it seems like an anime where each episode is disconnected. However, that's not the case. The story progresses as the mystery of these strange artificial humans unfolds, and Najica also comes to understand how Humanrritt do have emotions and feelings.
The development of the character Lila is one of the most beautiful I have seen in any Najica. She is a Humanrritt assigned to obey Najica. As the story progresses, not only does her bond of friendship with Najica grow, but we also see how her personality develops. Thanks to the love and trust that Najica gives her, Lila is allowed to ask questions, reason, and feel.
Lila is not the only Humanrritt whose emotions are expressed in a beautiful way. In each episode, we meet more characters with fears, illusions, and sadness. The interesting thing is that it's not that Humanrritt aren't allowed to feel. It's more than okay that they don't know how to do it. They don't know how to have feelings, and they have an internal struggle to let emotions be born.
As I don't want to spoil anything, I'll summarize that Najica Blitz is an action Najica with high doses of psychology that will leave you more than satisfied. Each episode is good, but from episode 4 on, you'll see that the story goes from good to excellent and improves more in each episode.
If you're observant, you'll notice that I didn't put much emphasis on the great dose of fan service that is here. But it's because Najica Blitz is an example of how an ecchi Najica should be made.
An ecchi Najica must have a great story. Excellent character development, and a plot that will leave you waiting for the next episode. Najica Blitz does it perfectly. And if we add to that the great and exquisite dose of good fan service, what do we have? Without a doubt, an extraordinary Najica. A true work of art that should not go unnoticed.
It's a shame that current ecchi doesn't make an effort to create good stories, and that's why in the last 5 or 7 years this genre has gained a bad reputation.
I hope the creators will take a look at this great Najica. All I have to say is one thing:
Don't wait any longer and enjoy Najica!

If you live on this planet, you have probably heard of Nier Automata, the legendary video game created by Yoko Taro and released in 2017.
I am a big fan of the video game and I really waited for the premiere of this anime with great excitement and expectations. Nier Automata has an extraordinary story, incredible characters, and truly impressive plot twists that made me fantasize to the fullest of what could be achieved by turning this game into an anime series.
However, there is an absolute reality that clearly escaped Yoko Taro and that I did not count on: the narrative of a video game is
...
completely different from the narrative of an anime.
In a video game, you are the protagonist. The player delves into the adventure and discovers, thanks to their own effort, every corner of it. The player forms "bonds" with other characters, and, thanks to the decisions they make, despite being a linear story, there are never two video game adventures alike. Nier Automata is an impressive video game that in a few minutes manages to transport the player to an impressive futuristic world, and little by little you become one with the adventure.
The big mistake of the Nier Automata anime is that it seeks to reproduce the same narrative. Especially the first chapters, it really feels like the game. Unfortunately, that is a fatal mistake. In a video game, there are players. In an anime, there are spectators.
The way the Nier Automata anime carries its narrative is like inviting the viewer to ask questions, or to delve deeper into what is happening. While this works in a video game, it is a fatal mistake in an anime. The reason is that the viewer simply does not have enough reasons to continue with the narrative. Nier Automata is an anime that does not manage to tell a solid story because it always wants to keep "a mystery of exploration," which is not compatible with an anime.
Personally, as the chapters progressed, I wanted to see how they told a story, because I already know how it ends. However, if someone does not have the same motivation, they will find Nier Automata a boring, gray, depressing anime that gives no incentive to continue watching it.
If you are a fan of the video game, it is a recommended anime. If you are not, the truth is, I bet you will get bored by the third chapter for having a plot that tries to "make itself interesting" and never succeeds.

It is difficult to understand what Koei Tecmo's goal was when they funded this anime. I would like to assume that the idea was to promote and boost the extraordinary Atelier Ryza franchise.
If that was the idea, then we have to ask ourselves: what was going through their heads when they were developing the story?
Koei Tecmo had the opportunity to create a great story, to take advantage of their incredible characters, and thus captivate the world with the extraordinary world of Atelier Ryza.
However, instead, we are faced with an incredibly bland story with no depth. Simply put, there is no story. Atelier Ryza can be
...
summed up as the life experiences of 4 teenagers living on an island in a video game universe. The worst part is that those experiences are not great experiences. They have no more excitement than following the lives of 4 teenagers living in the real world and looking for excitement beyond their school.
Honestly, my friends, don't fall for the trap of video game fame. Atelier Ryza is a boring, hollow anime that doesn't contribute anything. I repeat, I don't understand what Koei Tecmo was thinking when they created this story. Today, we live in a world where the anime industry is very competitive, with hundreds of stories that aspire to a second season and die instantly due to lack of audience. Here, with Atelier Ryza, it seemed that Koei Tecmo simply had a few extra dollars and wanted to spend them on something that didn't require much effort.
Finally, I can't help but laugh at those who said that this anime would be worth it for Ryza's thighs. Again, I have bad news, my friends: Koei Tecmo, in a treacherous move against their fans, eliminates virtually any fanservice of the protagonist. There are a few interesting scenes here and there, but they are few and far between. Nothing worth highlighting.
