NON-SPOILER REVIEW
Dr. Stone is an adventure-shounen series with lots of educational stuff incorporated inside the series. Naturally, it could be quite difficult to watch for some people who are not intrigued with science stuff. I highly recommend you guys to watch the first episode and see whether you like where the plot is going or not.
HOWEVER...
Over the course of the series, my opinion changed drastically from what I thought a boring-educational series into a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Hilarious, thrilling, touching, all in a single series. Not to forget, the plot and characters itself are meticulously made with perfect development pace. Animations are amazing
...
as you would expect even though not as fluid as ufotable or KyoAni. SFX and music really fit with the story and thus, enhance the experience when watching.
Overall: 10/10
Literally the very first show that exceeded my expectation. A mind-blowing masterpiece.

My initial thought regarding this anime was somehow above average, but nothing special. Added the fact that I am not a big fan of mecha anime, I almost dropped this anime before I watched the first episode. However, not until midway through the first season, there are numerous sudden turns of events. The drama really hit me, and I particularly love that. Progression of story is excellent, world-building goes the same way. Animation-wise is clear, but not exceptionally stunning. OP is mid, but ED by Sawano Hiroyuki always hits hard. Characters' developments are definitely exist. Striving to be a better person, from bad
...
guy to good guy, etc.
Then, where is the -1 out of the perfect score? Well, the thing is, they kept repeating the same plot/drama over and over, hence making it overused. How would you feel if you watch the same cause of the drama repeatedly? You would gradually feel nothing. That is exactly what happened to me. It is still sad though, but it didn't really hit hard.
This is the definition of a show which would blow your expectations. I guarantee it.
Overall: 9/10

An anime that was booming during the release of its first episode, swiftly claiming the number #1 throne in MAL. I mean, how can't I be allured to binge this series. A drama-psychological series written by the author of Kaguya-sama is indeed mind-blowing. Gotta gives him some respects for managing to write a completely different genre from the fluffy romance of Kaguya series. Psychological, nailed; drama, nailed. Manga's art is undoubtedly exquisite and detailed. It all depends on the studio on how to animate it.
Surprisingly enough, Doga Kobo, which is known for creating mid-anime (I would say), perfectly adapted and animating the series.
...
BGM and SFX is on-point as well. Not to mention, we got YOASOBI for the OP song and Queen Bee for the ED song, both of them are in my playlist right now. Character developments are unreal, in fact, I would say that is the main selling point of the series. How the MC's, MH's, and side characters' personalities shifted throughout the series.
What I like the most is the story itself. It depicts the reality of entertainment industry, what is actually happening behind the scenes, the truth of life of celebrities, etc. Therefore, it will surely make viewers become more engaged. In other words, the world building is perfect, not too slow and not too fast.
Sadly, for some reason, I don't have the excitement when I was watching other series (I know I cannot compare those series). Nevertheless, it is still an enjoyable roller-coaster ride of emotions. I did not cry at the first episode. Comedy is there, mystery is there, suspense is there. Overall, I would give it a solid 9/10. Looking forward to season 2 as there will be immense character development there!

NO SPOILER REVIEW
Recently finished Jigokuraku, and one thing I can say is "SPECTACULAR". Quite gory, not that I mind though.
Animation-wise we cannot argue that MAPPA indeed delivers jaw-dropping visuals every time. That being said, there is no sakuga moments in this anime. So, that's a pity haha, and also the only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10. Regardless, the characters designs are visually beautiful, both samurais and villains. Similarly, the design of the world is so fantastical, incorporating various religion and heavenly principles are so novel in my opinion. World building is not bad, every episode left us with quite
...
a cliffhanger after all, which consequently makes me binge a whole season in just 2 days. Characters developments are amazing either, some of them become stronger or wiser ever since their beloved died (in fact lots of characters died), backstories are there too, which lift the drama part of this anime. BGM is also on-point in the mystery part and battle part. Talking about music, OP song is mid, meanwhile ED is soothing.
Story: 10/10
Music: 9/10
Art: 9/10
Character: 10/10
Overall: 9/10
All in all, I highly recommend you guys to give this anime a try, at least until the first 3 episodes.

NO SPOILERS REVIEW
Re: Zero. Ahh, as an isekai lover, this show is pure bliss. Indubitably, one of the best dark-fantasy anime out there. Let's just move on to the review.
Story (10/10):
I know full well from the get-go that this series is gory, despite the fact that I can't handle blood splatter really well. However, my curiosity got the better of me, and I ultimately binged this series. Oh boy, I'm utterly glad with my decision. The story, without a doubt, is the main highlight of Re: Zero. Thriller-psychological isekai, have you ever heard any other isekai which has a similar theme? Some of you might
...
have seen it somewhere, but that's a new one to me. Re: Zero serves a grim plot which definitely will make you sit on the edge of your seat throughout every single episode, not to mention the cliffhanger at the end of every episode which definitely will make you question what will happen in the next episode. Furthermore, the worldbuilding is just mind-blowing as they take their time to reveal the truth one-by-one, particularly needed when this series has quite a complicated plot. But, don't worry, because they succinctly and thoroughly explain the situation later. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, the gore indeed exceeded my expectations. However, strangely enough, I didn't even feel frightened and enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. In case you need a comparison, the gore is on the same level as Attack On Titan, I guess. As you might notice, drama is also a part of this series, which means it will be a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Not a tearjerker one, but at least, it's able to make you feel compassion for the MC. Some comedy and romance spices exist as well in order to lighten the mood, but not that frequent, as it's not a crucial part of the series. How about the time travel tag? Since it'll be a spoiler, just watch the series and you'll find out. To sum up, everything is available here.
Art (9.5/10):
Well, the animation is not exactly godly, but White Fox is able to illustrate the situation immaculately, specifically during the gloomy part. If you came here simply in hope that the animations could pamper your eyes, I believe you got the wrong show. To begin with, White Fox isn't known to have godly, jaw-dropping animations. Nevertheless, the animation is fluid enough, background animation is colorful, and of course, they allocate most of the animation quality to the gore scenes, which is a wise decision.
Sound (10/10):
The openings are actually quite catchy as they are pop and rock songs, not my favorite openings though. The ending, particularly "Stay Alive", has a warm rhythm as well as soft voice (sung by Emilia's VA). The VA did a spectacular job at maintaining Emilia's voice throughout the song albeit the fact that this is just a song, and moreover, put the ending song at perfect timing. In addition, the SFX and background music are well-made, especially during the grim and murder part. Beautifully portraying the situation, simply amazing.
Characters (10/10):
As far as I'm concerned, none of the characters are tedious and/or annoying. Every character has their own personalities as well as mysteries. The MC might be a little stupid in the first half of the series (for some certain reasons), but personally speaking, the reason he's being stupid is reasonable (you'll understand what I mean if you watch it). In fact, when he starts to change himself to be a better person, that is the great part. Never give up, keep trying, although he's in such a twisted world and embarking on an arduous journey. In other words, character development is definitely there. That said, some people are hating on the MC for shallow reasons lol, and that goes to the main female heroine (MFH) too. Well, I agree that the MFH doesn't get character development as much as the MC does. Instead, the side character, especially Rem, receives rather huge development in my opinion (later in the second season is where the MFH will get time to shine). But, that also doesn't mean the FH is just a burden in the first season, because all of the arcs are somehow revolving around the MFH, hence making the MFH a vital character. Lastly, as we have a solid team of VAs, voice acting is undoubtedly impressive. So, nothing to worry about.
Enjoyment (10/10):
Never been a fan of thrillers or suspense, but I am somehow really addicted to this series. In spite of the fact that this show can get quite violent, it is still enjoyable.
Overall (10/10):
With all that said, Re: Zero is obviously a cut above the rest. Now that I have finished watching the series, I'm deeply curious about what's going to happen in the next arc, what kind of predicament that the MC will face. Hopefully, the third season will be announced sooner or later. I highly recommend you to try to watch the series, otherwise at least the first episode.

NO SPOILERS REVIEW
Arguably, one of the most prominent anime among romcom genres, and that is Kaguya-sama. The most noticeable part from this series is the fact that it has a psychological genre. You might find yourself baffled initially, but don't misunderstand it. Why? I'll tell you the reason below.
Story (10/10):
A-1 Pictures did a spectacular job in adapting Kaguya-sama. For your information, its source material (manga) has a perplexing order of manga chapters, for instance, the continuation of chapter 1 might be in the next 2 or 3 chapters, hence making manga readers who are always eagerly waiting for the next chapter to be published, left
...
in confusion. However, A-1 Pictures meticulously crafted the anime so that the story will be more understandable by skipping some chapters which they considered to have a different timeline and put it in the next episode, thus making this anime look immaculate. Now, about the psychological tag, what does it mean? Does this anime have some kind of somber moments inside? Huge no. I personally and honestly incline that the moments where MC and Kaguya attempt to make the other party fall in love is the psychological part, because later, their plans ultimately will be revealed by the narrator and explains the reason psychologically. At the end of the day, it's just a romcom that you would expect. The atmosphere this anime generates is just cozy and utterly enjoyable.
Art (10/10):
A-1 Pictures has proven themselves to be a top-tier studio this last decade, specifically on their animations, and this anime is your concrete evidence. Distinct and colorful background, as well as the appealing characters, everything is designed flawlessly.
Sound (9/10):
The SFX are well-made and it realistically depicts the situation. The opening song, which is sung by the renowned Masayaki Suzuki, somehow gives nostalgic vibes (cuz he's well-known in the 1900s era after all). The ending song, sadly, doesn't emit a pleasant and warm sound, it's just not my cup of tea.
Character (10/10):
The characters, both main and side characters, are indubitably charming appearance-wise (Kei Shirogane) and have loveable traits (especially Kaguya and Ishigami). What makes this show cut above the rest is the indisputable fact that every single character is hilarious and kind of innocent, as well as oblivious, however not to the point where it irritated me, instead I genuinely enjoyed their innocence. Furthermore, As the story progresses, you will witness outstanding character development as well. The student council members each have their respective grim past, which eventually bring them together later on and encourage each other to move on from their past. Not only that, but also romance development has a steady pace, from detesting each other to.... (not going to spoil you). Moreover, the student council members aka the main characters have equitable on-screen time, except for side characters of course, which is very unfortunate (I am craving for more Kei!). Apart from that, everything is just impeccable.
Enjoyment (10/10):
I barely remember a time where I felt cringe or found the show distasteful. From the bottom of my heart, I truly adore this anime.
Overall (10/10):
From the get-go, I knew this anime has enormous potential to be the best romance ever. All in all, everything exceeded my expectation, and I sincerely wish Kaguya-sama could get a complete adaptation, which is a reasonable hope, considering that the source material of this anime (manga) is very renowned in Japan. Romance anime with fluffy atmosphere, likable characters, exquisite animation, impressive voice acting, how could you loathe this anime?
Side note: Don't be deluded by the psychological tag.

NO SPOILERS REVIEW
Haikyuu!!, undoubtedly the best sports anime of all time. Without beating around the bush, let's just go straight to the review.
Story (10/10):
Initially, I was doubting this series cuz volleyball is not my cup of tea. However, after I watched this series, my heart was captivated by how amazing the story is. I, as an athlete who used to compete in sports tournaments, can absolutely relate to this story, to the point where I was in tears cuz I was reminiscing about those old days. The story itself is realistic in my opinion, starts from nothing to be recognized by other prominent schools. That
...
being said, it doesn't mean they keep winning every single match, and that's the most intriguing part. I bet you'll become curious as the story progresses and find yourself can't stop binge this anime.
Art (10/10):
In terms of art, while it isn't top-tier animation, everything is above average or at least decent. Impeccable camera angle, smooth animation, and colorful art, fused together into one anime, which results in utter perfection. Overall, Production I.G did an excellent job in animating this anime.
Sound (10/10):
Aside from the horrendous opening and ending song (the first opening not bad tho), the theme song really suits the anime. Still, it won't make you drop the score since opening and ending songs are not really impactful to the series itself.
Back to the topic, when the situation becomes intense or hilarious or gloomy, the songs are played precisely. Thus, it feels as if you're in the anime itself (not exaggerating).
Character (10/10):
None of the characters are irritating. Furthermore, everyone has their own unique personality and background. Some of you might find background stories tedious, but I promise you that their pasts are compelling. On top of that, character development is just simply mind-blowing. As I mentioned earlier, they need tremendous effort to make their school become known nationally. Struggling, failing, bouncing back, repeatedly. Spectacular.
Enjoyment (10/10):
Time was just flying rapidly (I didn't even realize it was already dark outside) cuz I never ceased to be amazed by both the worldbuilding and the character development. I honestly would like to see this anime being adapted completely.
Overall:
I was utterly surprised cuz I had no expectation of Haikyuu!! (started watching this cuz my friend). Haikyuu!! is the epitome of sports anime, hands down the best. 10/10.

NO SPOILERS REVIEW
Kimetsu No Yaiba, one of the best shounen anime ever made in my opinion. Let me just get straight to the point.
Story (10/10):
The story itself is novel and unique. I personally never saw any other animes which have similar plotlines like KnY. On top of that, KnY, unlike other shounen animes, serves a darker plot and thrilling vibes. What makes it even special is this series doesn't cast aside their comedy side, remembering that this is a shounen anime. The worldbuilding is incredible, the MC starts from zero, after years of training, the results certainly are not disappointing, still, it doesn't make the
...
MC indomitable (or OP). If you ever heard that the MC keeps getting plot armor, it's an irrefutable fact, however, just as I mentioned earlier, the MC and friends always struggle when they face the villain.
Art (10/10):
Art? Come on, this is ufotable's product. You surely can expect some eye-catching animations. The fight scenes are jaw-dropping and exquisite, with fluid animations which make the fight scenes not look stiff. That became the sole reason why I was infatuated with this series. I'd dare to say that the animations do a great job in carrying the whole series.
Sound (10/10):
The OST really fits the fight scene. After all, Yuki Kajiura is the one who composed the song. Therefore, she will undoubtedly present some of the greatest OSTs out there. Not to mention, the opening song, Gurenge, which was made by a renowned singer, LiSA, is now in my favorite playlist. I don't really like the ending song though. Still, it doesn't mean I will reduce the score.
Character (10/10):
There are numerous debates whether KnY has good characters or not. Well, there is no right answer as this question is purely subjective. Some people are irritated by Zenitsu, who they thought is an annoying character, however, others, like me for example, adore Zenitsu a lot. The MC, as well, leaves controversy whether or not he receives excessive plot armor. Personally speaking, I strongly disagree (you can see my reason above in the story section). The gang (Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke) has decent character development. I don't see any problems with the rest of the characters, so let's move on.
Enjoyment (10/10):
I was on the edge of my seat whenever I watched KnY. Hence, needless to say, I enjoy every second of this anime, no doubt. This holds a special place in my heart.
Overall:
10/10. That's all. No other words could describe KnY except mind-blowing. Y'all should try to binge this extraordinary anime.
