TLDR: It is a Masterpiece of comedy about college life and a must-watch.

VODKA! That line is a masterpiece line from Iori Kitahara.

Story 10/10
A simple story about college life, friends, and clubs that makes up for it because of the comedy. The story of Grandblue is one of the greatest stories of all time. The comedy of Grand Blue doesn't just purely focus on the character's personality but showcases the characters attending those day-to-day events around it by implementing an explosive comedy to compensate for the entertainment. They balanced out the comedy with a slice of the life and sometimes educational content to the series which ... many other anime mostly focus on the slice of life side and fails to entertain the audience and this doesn't.

Characters 10/10
This anime is so good because of the characters. If you don't pay enough attention to the characters in Grand Blue you will hear one of the best voice acting in anime history. They put a massive amount of effort into the voice and the reason why it's so funny is because the characters have a very unique and funny voice that matches the atmosphere they're in. The characters are very likable at first Iori seems like just an ordinary guy, but the more he stays within the club the more he matches the silly culture within the club. All the characters in here are silly, but not stupidly silly. They all have a very funny personalities which adds a lot of depth to the story.

Animation 10/10
What's impressive about the animation is that it uses the generic-looking animation to its advantage. They fill a lot of the explosive background in the most intensive comedy moments and sometimes if you look at it. The characters like Kohei at the moment when he was doing the female voice he will slowly look more and more feminine. The animation serves its purpose because If you put too much quality animation within the comedy anime the animation would look way too serious and the tone would feel different. Another impressive thing about the animation is that it is heavily inspired by attack on titan. They took seriousness of Attack on Titan and transfer it to a comedic artistic style which is very appreciated.

Conclusion
This is one of the rarest and best anime where the voice acting is god-tier and the slice of life is coveted well into the comedy genre. All the characters are great with explosive personality and the animation suits well within the anime. The story is great that mostly focus on the college life with so many comedy that has added in to make it fun to watch.

TLDR: It's about upskirts and underwear

Story 3/10
So the story is about the main protagonist who keeps begging to see that girl's underwear until one day she gives in and just lift her skirt up and lets him see it. Each episode shows a different girl and as much content I want to add this is basically it since the episode is only a couple of minutes long.

Animation 7/10
The animation is fine, there weren't any flaws and bad frames. Everything is well drawn even the underwear.

Character 3/10
Is all about girls expressing disgusting faces when you are begging to see what is underneath their skirts. Otherwise ... is a very typical couple of minute show

Conclusion
If you're a man of culture who wants to look at anime girls underwear and upskirt then this show is for you otherwise everything is not really good.

TLDR: IT's average

Story 6/10
The story is set in Modern-day United Kingdom. As usual, the infamous Lupin is looking for treasures to steal and flirting with the local ladies. One day Lupin is getting chased by the police and meets a very old acquaintance along the way, which is Sherlock Holmes. At that time she also met a young girl whom Lupin has an important history with. This is where the mysterious story between Sherlock and Lupin begins. For part 6 is more inconsistent compared to the previous part and it portrays like Arcs rather than a single narrative that is the primary focus. There's three ... arcs that is in the series and the first one is Sherlock, Filler, and Lupin's past. Those are technically not bad stories, but painfully average and sometimes boring. They did capture a lot of the mystery and explosive over-the-top moments very well, but most of the story didn't really capture the magic that it did from the previous season.

Animation 6/10
The animation for this part is a downgrade compared to the previous part. In the previous part since the 2015 remake there aren't many flaws to the animation, but this one had too many flaws and you can definitely notice the frame is very inconsistent from time to time. For the most part it's not bad and it stayed with the animation we are familiar with from the previous part, but there it is a lot more bad quality drawing compare to the previous season.

Characters 5/10
Lupin in part 6 are ruined because they change Lupin's personality so much. What pisses most fans off is that Lupin punched a girl in this series. YES, HE PUNCHED A LADY. Now this may not seem much to the average audience, BUT LUPIN LOVES WOMEN AND HE WOULD NEVER PUNCH A LADY. This is so offensive towards Lupin fan because Lupin is a very smart and mysterious character within the series and his biggest weakness is loving all the women around the world. The only thing he would never do IS TO PUNCH A LADY. However, for the other characters, they are generally good as they have a lot of mysterious background and interesting plot that align to the story. They also added a few characters back from part 4 such as Rebecca and more which adds a nice touch to the series. The characters that do have an interesting story should've been a candidate to join Lupin's crew, but all of the time they just serve their purpose and move on.

Conclusion
Ever since the 2015 remake this will be my least favourite one as they have changed Lupin's personality too much and the animation flaws that occurred from time to time. The story is a lot more inconsistent and average as they are trying to tell a different story that is not relevant to the current one.

TLDR: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER, Absolute masterpiece of a mystery anime, a diamond in the gem

Story 10/10
Set's in modern-day Tokyo a middle-aged man Hiroshi Odakawa lives a modest life by driving taxi around for a living. However, one day, multiple mysterious events started to occur at the city where he lives. Such as the disappearance of a famous idol member, a addictive gamer seeking vengence, and his best friend's pharmacy has some medicine taken by an unknown stranger. At first Hiroshi has no interest to be involved in any of those circumstances and just wants to live a peaceful and modest live. ... However, eventually those mysterious events draw closer and closer to him which left him no choice, but to be fully involved in those case. This is a masterpiece of storytelling and is a shame that not many people watch this because this is one of the rarest and most unique storytelling in the history of an anime. At first the story mostly involves around multiple character that has nothing to do with each other and no association. However, that is the mystery of it because the more you invest in this anime you will soon be rewarded around the mystery of the story as it draws closer and closer to the characters to join the mysterious puzzles together.

Animation 10/10
The animation is also very unique. It may look very plain and simple at the start, but if you actually pay attention to the backgrounds some of the drawings are drawn in a crayon way and the amount of details for every animals they draw are different. What's so cool about this is that you can kinda imagine what their human form looks like throughout the series because of the simplicity of the drawings.

Characters 10/10
The characters are portrayed in a unique way. Compared to most typical shonen anime it doesn't feel dramatized. Most characters behave like today's digital world where everyone only cares about their digital media and dreams within it. At one section one of Odokawa's friends is at an age where marriage seems impossible due to old age. Despite all this, he is still interested in chasing young girls and browsing dating apps all the time until one day he finally receives someone who is interested in dating through the app. Everyone already knows that there is so many red flags from the start and is almost impossible for a young girl to be interested in a middle-aged man. In the end, he already knows that there are so many red flags and the most emotional part of it is when he said I know that, but I still want to dream. It captures the fundamental essence of romance because from the start some people already know that there is red flags in their relationship, but in the end your body just moved by its own. You know its wrong, but your body just moved on its own to persuade that relationship and in the end, what hurts the most is climbing up so high just to fall back down and obtain nothing from it.

Conclusion
This is a must-watch because it demonstrated a story that has never shown in anime history by introducing characters from the start that has nothing to do with each other than slowly introducing the mystery case and putting the puzzle together by integrating the characters together. They introduce a simplistic yet sophisticated animation to fit the story with unique crayon texture behind the background. The characters fits very well towards the modern society and doesn't feel too dramatised.

TLDR: One of the most annoying voice acting I have ever heard in my life

Story 5/10
Hinako spends most of her life in the countryside growing up and doing hard labour. One day she decided to move to Tokyo and transfer to a nearby high school where she lives. At the same time she is not used to being around lots of people and learn decided to learn the way of life from the people in the city. When she visited her high school one club caught her eye which is the theater club. She is excited to join but learns that the club is on ... a temporary hiatus and the club needs her help to reopen it. This is when the story of Hinako's note begins. It is a by-the-books story where cute girls do cute things and school life, but oh boy what ruins this series is the voice acting.

Characters 3/10
Now, I normally don't criticize the voice acting in anime but fuck, the voice of the characters in this series makes you want to rip your ear's out. They literally put almost all the characters in a high-pitched voice INCLUDING the main protagonist throughout the series it makes the characters sound like squirrels talking for 99% of the time. Those voices heavily impacted the anime, nothing against the voice actress, but whoever directed this holy shit they need to work on their hearing that's for sure. Apart from that the characters are fairly average and by the books standard for a slice-of-the-life anime.

Animation 8/10
The animation is very good for that time. They combined both standard and chibby styles together which makes the animation pretty cute most of the time. Apart from that there really isn't anything special about it.

Conclusion
Overall, is a generic story of cute girls doing cute things and school life with a pretty adequate animation that has been put into it. However, the only thing that ruins this series is the voice acting. The voice actress is forced to voice in this ridiculous way of high pitched voice and they did it to more than one character which makes the anime very painful to watch all because of the voice.

TLDR: It became an adventure anime and has one of the worst endings in anime history, is worse than Neverland trust me.

If you ever say that Neverland is anime's worst ending oh boy. That shit is a masterpiece compared to this because this ending is even worst and I rather watch Ousama game's ending than this.

Story 5/10
I'll keep it brief, it is a spoiler in episode 1
Suou an ordinary student in Russia belonged to a family that is known for their research work. One day her family was slaughtered and her best friend is a spy who killed her family. To escape from capture ... she met Hei and teamed up with him to understand why her family was slaughtered and most importantly to rescue Yin. The story of the series that led to season 2 is weird because, between seasons 1 and 2, there is a huge gap in the story that has been left out and the unexplained situation of how Yin got captured. It's technically not a bad story but it feels more like a movie than a season because all of the season involves rescuing Yin and is more of a hit-and-run style. In the first season, the story was great. They don't just go and chase one objective, they have to solve multiple and intricate puzzles to lead towards that objective. However, season 2 is basically an adventure anime that doesn't have any secretive and intricate puzzle that was introduced in season 1. Worse of all Hei became more of a supportive character than Suou which alienated the viewers.

(SPOILER) NOW the ending
In the end, there was a catastrophe that occurred in the city of season 1. Many building was destroyed and Yin is the cause of all this the only solution to cease all this destruction is to eliminate Yin. However, that is up to Hei to decide, but then ok let me tell you what happens next. Literally out of nowhere all of those build-ups and attention to detail are wasted because straight out of nowhere everything became normal. YES, I mean normal as in everyday life. All the buildings, the destruction, and the dead have all been rebuilt, even all Suous friends, families, and acquaintances have somehow been brought back to life again. The ending scene shows Hei carrying an unconscious Yin.
What
The
Fuck

Characters 5/10
The characters are great within season 2, but it mostly comes from the perceptive of Suou instead of Hei. Hei just became a drunken garbage compared to the cool as assassin in season 1 and this is a massive letdown. The characters are still as great as the one from season 1, but they don't have that much screen time, and worst of all there aren't any new characters other than Suou.

Animation 8/10
If you like season 1's animation then you will definitely like season 2 as the animation still remains unchanged.

Conclusion
Overall, this season is good yet bad at the same time. The bad side is that they haven't explained the major point leading to season 2 and the plot style is more of a movie as most of the plot is all about rescuing Yin and no other elements have been added to compensate for the focus. The ending is also really bad because they haven't explained anything leading towards that point and everything just settled like nothing has happened. The good side is that it is still very enjoyable to watch and the animation is still high quality from season 1. The plot is not bad and they really animated this mature and dark setting well. The noticeable character from season 1 is good, but Hei became such a downgrade towards the point that he started bashing all the beloved characters from the season and this makes the fans hate him. As he is portrayed in such a drunken and ass way.

The reason why this is an 8 on my profile is because I only give scores based on the first time I watched which I was a kid at that time

TLDR: A shonen series about Soul reapers however, has a lot of filler arcs

This will be a non-biased review, even though I love Bleach so much, and this series still remains a special place in my heart. However, there are still a lot of flaws when in comes with the series.

Story 7/10
Ichigo Kurosaki a high schooler has been seeing ghosts ever since he was very young. He only talked to them from time to time and paid his respect to them, but never really knew how to properly move them on to heaven. Until one day, a girl wearing a black kimono suddenly walks through ... the walls of his room and is hunting a strange ghostly creature called Hollows. She describes herself as Rukia a soul reaper and is here to help the deceased move on to soul society and purify the corrupted souls that have been hollowfied by defeating them. In the middle of nowhere, the hollow suddenly attacks Ichigo's sister, and out of desperation Ichigo tries to fight him head-on but is protected by Rukia from a fatal blow. The only solution to defeating the hollow is to transfer Rukia's soul reaper power to Ichigo, but he instead takes all the power from Rukia and defeats the hollow. This is where Ichigo's journey to defeat the hollows and learn the world of the living and the dead begins. The main story is great a very typical shonen anime, but suffers from the amount of filler arcs and not enough context for each scenario. Even if one scenario has been explained. It is very short and it makes you feel like wanting more content.

BEHIND THE SCENES (SKIPPABLE)
Now, this has nothing to do with the review and is totally skippable. I will explain why there are so many filler arcs and the anime's rocky progress throughout the series. The reason why there are so many filler arcs in the series is because of Tite Kubo's lack of involvement in the anime. Tite Kubo is the author of Bleach and throughout the anime's lifespan, he was mostly displeased with the censorship. This put the anime in a difficult spot because Tite Kubo had always finished the story very early and the manga didn't have any resources to prolong the series so the only way to keep up the consistency was through filler arcs. What's worse is throughout the later part of the anime. Tite Kubo's health was deteriorating and the anime had fully caught up to the manga this led the series to an uncertain future because Kubo had planned on dropping the series entirely.

Characters 7/10
The characters are great but suffer from so many unexplained theories and missed opportunities in the series. There are times when the character showcases their powers which is great, but the main problem mostly comes from not actually showing or showing it in a very minimum amount of quantity. What I mean by that is I give you an example from One Piece. The three admirals have shown their powers many times in the series and the first two we witness are Aokiji and Kizaru, which are so powerful and destructive. After witnessing such destructive power we also get to see their power once again at the Marine ford arc with even more scenes of them and another powerful admiral Akainu. The characters in Bleach don't lack any personality and have the most beautiful aesthetic-looking characters in anime history, but most of the supporting characters have so many unexplained stories and powers. A good example is Toshiro and Hinamori's relationship. They obviously know each other and have been acquainted for a long time, but throughout the whole series, the story never tells us anything about them. Now, during the fight with Aizen and the head captain was about to fight him head-on. There is so much anticipation from the audience because we get to see the strongest fighting the strongest. However, in the end, the head captain is tricked and defeated by one of Aizens subjects and the fight between those two has barely any interactions and is disappointing because the setting feels like an all-out war but the execution of the scenario is disappointing as they didn't even fight each other at all. There are also a lot of characters Bankai that should've been shown or at least could've been shown such as Isshin's Bankai and Yoruichi's Zanpakuto. However, not everything is bad, most of the focus is on Ichigo and they do have a really good fight such as Ulquiorra and Aizen.

Animation 10/10
This is really surprising not gonna lie. Out of the big 3 Bleach has the most consistent and high-quality amount in a vast quantity of animation. Sure it did have a rocky start, but as the series goes on the animation gets better and better. Not only that, also the characters look better and better. It's really rare to see an anime series to have a large amount of quality episodes.

Conclusion
Overall, this series meant a lot to so many people including me. The story was great but had too many filler arcs and not enough context for the majority of the scenarios. This impacted the story along with its characters because they are so good yet the content the anime provided is not enough and in the end, you just want more of it. However, it is very impressive that this series has one of the best aesthetics when it comes to character design and the animation is top-notch. Even though at the start it looked average, it does get a lot better as the series progresses and even has a large number of episodes that are very high-quality animated.

HOT TAKE
Now, the original series really deserves a remake. If it does I would say this is the best out of the big 3.

TLDR: a comedic harem anime with a massive amount of fan service

This review will be based on the whole series.
The final verdict will be an 8/10 for the whole series.

Story 7/10
It's hard to give this a rating as the story is mostly focuses on the characters, fan service and comedic element of it. One day a Alien girl called Lala accidentally crashed into Rito's house while he was having a bath. During that time Rito accidentally touches her breast which leads to a symbol of being the Lala's fiance. However, Rito doesn't have any love interest for Lala, but only for Haruna to undo this ... the only way is to touch her breast again to officially cancel the marriage between those two. After that there really isn't any story-focused element, but the characters are the main point of the story. There is some side story from time to time, but it doesn't really lead anywhere. SO LONG WORDS SHORT: It's basically a story that is mostly focused on fan-service and comedy.

Character 10/10
Ok, if you're here for the fan service then oh boy this anime offers an extensive amount of it. The first half-season the main character is set between Rito and Lala that mostly mocks around the place they are living in. There is some other characters that showed up from time to time to support the main character to keep the series fresh and ongoing. After the first half ended it is then focused on Rito and Momo and Lala became more of a support character. However, the story is still more of less the same that is mainly focused on comedy and fan services. Rito's accident happens almost like every time, and whenever he has an accident there will always be almost like a porn related fan service.

Animation 8/10
Generally, the animation is at a very good quality throughout its life-spam. At the start it does look standard for its time, but you can see it does hugely improved over time as the series goes on. Overall, the animation starts of adequate, but does improve as time goes on.

Conclusion
If your here for the fan service then your at the right place. The story is light-hearted and comedic focused which makes the character very lively. However, some fans may have a disappointment with the characters as the series goes on because it transfer from Lala to Momo towards the end of the series. The animation is great, especially the fan service part the animators draw it with all there hearts and soul into it.

TLDR: Tells about the mental stress and struggle to transfer to a new career. A must watch

Story 10/10
The story tells you about a girl who wants to change careers from a pop star Idol to a movie actress. Throughout her career it tells you about the stress, the adaptability, the regret to change careers and the struggle to be maintained within that industry. She is constantly hallucinating about her decision, is the decision she made right decision or wrong? Should have stayed within the pop Idol group or moved on? There is so many questions and mysteries around the choice she made that question herself, ... those that supported her and her fans. However, within the acting industry, there is always personal life issues, and the horror of it is from a pure fan to a stalker to stalk the actress personal life.

Characters 10/10
The characters portrayed within this is very realistic to real life. There is so much uncertainty about the career move she made and doubt whether she would survive within it. It is not only shown exclusively to her, but those around her doubting her and those who manipulated her to force her into the role that she is not meant for.

Animation 10/10
The animation for its time is a 10/10 and to this day the animation is still better than most animation that came out today. Even though is a bit aged, but its still a a great level of animation quality that they have put into. Therefore, this is definitely a classic anime. Now, this may sound a little funny, but this anime fucks you up mentally, and when I say it fucks you up. It fucks you up in a good way because the ending of it is very satisfying.

Conclusion
This is a great movie and portrays the real-life career choices that people make. Not everyone is satisfied to move on to a new career. Some even question there move and not everything is happy go lucky type of move. As most anime portray characters in a stereotypical fashion, this doesn't. This mostly focuses on the career decisions and those around her doubting her with great care of details to give every character a sense of everyday personality.

TLDR: A must-watch, Bleach last Arc that is a war set between the Soul reaper and a mysterious unknown enemy

This review will be based on part 1 and 2 of TYBW. To prevent spoilers most content will be shortened

Story 9/10
I know it's a crime to not give this a 10/10, but hear me out. The story sets straight after the fullbringer arc where Ichigo and others have their power back. However, the soul reapers were only expecting peace and dealing with the everyday hollows until one day they met a mysterious enemy that had taken advantage of them and killed many of its comrades. Therefore, ... the soul reaper was severely unstrengthened and unprepared for the upcoming war. This left the soul society at risk of being overthrown and taken by that mysterious enemy. The story is great, it shows the seriousness of the situation and the current issue with the soul reapers who haven't fully mastered their powers and were rushed to train and gain those powers within a short time. However, this is the biggest problem with the story is the pacing. The pacing of the story is so fast towards the point that it needs to be watched at least two times to not miss out on all the content as it can easily be left out if you do not pay enough attention, but it does show all the major part well enough.

Characters 8/10 (Minor spoilers)
Bleach has this strange way of handling their characters where they are shown in a few episodes and throughout the rest of the series are basically never shown again. As of now is still too early to judge, but the characters are great. It shows every character's major powers and abilities throughout the Arc, but here's the problem that has occurred in the old Bleach and probably now as well. This is where the quantity amount of scenes/episodes of the characters showing their abilities are shown in a very small amount of scenes and throughout the rest of the series, and it is never shown again. I give you an example of One piece Marine ford arc. When we first witness Akainu's power it is not only shown in just one episode, but throughout many episodes and fights with different characters during the Marine ford arc by prolonging it. However, Bleach only showed its character's power in only a few episodes/scenes and it didn't give a satisfactory amount of content from those characters as the content shown is so short and some didn't describe what their ability or figure out what their ability are. (SPOILER) There is also some missed opportunities for the characters that should've included a backstory which is the bambies. The bambies are one of the most noticeable groups throughout the Quincies and are barely shown any backstory or abilities during their fight with Ichigo which is quite a letdown.

Animation 10/10
The animation is the greatest animation that Bleach has to offer. Out of the big three Bleach has the most quantity of quality animation and after the long hiatus of Bleach it does show that the animators put a lot of love and efforts into the animation. They are probably fans of the series like us.

Conclusion
This is a massive step for Bleach. The story included a lot of seriousness and struggle to fight the new unknown enemy. The characters are great, but some of the most noticeable didn't have enough screen time which is let down and the animation is movie quality level which is great.
