This film is the final installment in the Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san series. It continues to focus on Takagi and Nishitaka’s budding relationship. The main story this time is of how the two of them find and take care of a cat during their final summer of middle school. The plot flows well and manages to hit some pretty strong emotional beats. The side story with Mina and her friends also helped with the pacing. And ultimately, the ending and epilogue are a pretty satisfying way to end the series.

With all that said, this film has a completely different feel to the rest of the ...

tl;dr: Another solid season with everything great about previous seasons and a bit more romantic progression.

This is another season of Takagi and Nishikata’s saccharine romance with all that entails. Takagi is still constantly playfully teasing Nishikata. Nishikata is still trying to one up Takagi, though she’s almost always able to read him perfectly and come out on top. And they’re absolutely adorable together. Things are moving in a more romantic direction and there are definitely stronger romantic moments than previous seasons. But that’s just a natural result of further progress in the slow burn romance that’s existed from the start. There aren’t any major unexpected ...

Mixed Feelings
This manga is an incredibly generic love story about a couple in high school. The girl, Sakurai, is bubbly and outgoing. The guy, Nasuno, is shy and lacking in confidence. There’s not anything beyond that to their characters. They’re both really flat.

Their relationship also follows an incredibly simple trajectory. Sakurai is in love with Nasuno from before the start of the manga, but refuses to explicitly ask him out. Instead, she flirts with him incessantly in very obvious ways. He also falls in love with her pretty quickly, but he’s incredibly dense and risk averse so he also refuses to respond to her obvious affections. ...

This anime is about a handyman named Saito that gets isekai’d into a fantasy world. The first few episodes are about him using his skills as a handyman from Earth to help a party out as they explore a dungeon, mainly through picking locks. However, the handyman per se aspect significantly decreases in importance after that, though it does still pop up from time to time. Instead the story is more so about any normal guy from Earth without any of the skills that people of the fantasy world generally have trying to come up with ways to be helpful, which I suppose still embodies ...

Wolfsmund (Manga) add
Wolfsmund is a manga that’s somewhat about the Swiss fighting for their freedom from Austria. That’s the backdrop to things and the final volumes focus on actual historical events, but most of the manga is directed towards events that are purely fictional. The focus of the manga is on Wolfsmund, a gate fortress in St. Gotthart Pass, and it’s sadistic bailiff Wolfram. St. Gotthard Pass did exist in reality and did have strategic importance, but as far as I am aware neither Wolfram nor Wolfsmund actually existed. The manga also incorporates some parts of the legend of William Tell, who is a Swiss folk hero, ...

Usogui (Manga) add
Mixed Feelings
Usogui is a manga centered around Kakerou, an organization dedicated to ensuring that its members can gamble in a fair manner. However, these gambles often involve extreme games and prizes, and thus ensuring that these gambles are allowed to proceed properly requires Kakerou to have immense political and economic power. Furthermore, the way to take over as the leader of Kakerou involves first making a major contribution to Kakerou’s political and economic power, and then winning a life staking gamble with the current leader of Kakerou. This manga follows the super gambler Madarame Baku as he uses gambles to gain the economic and political power ...

*This is a review of both seasons.*

Ace Attorney is a franchise about lawyers duking it out in the court room in an exaggerated manner. The two seasons of the Ace Attorney anime adapt the first three games, also known as the Phoenix Wright trilogy. The first season adapts the first two games, though it skips the extra arc, and the second season adapts the third game. While the third game is the longest of the three, this difference also comes down to how the second season of the anime has more anime original content. The first season has one anime original episode, while the second ...

tl;dr: A sequel season that focuses less on battles of wits and more on long term plot and character development, for better or worse.

The third season of Classroom of the Elite follows follows Ayanokouji through to the end of his first year at Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School. In the same way that Ryuen was the focus of the second season, this season is focused on Sakayanagi, the leader of Class A. However, she’s very different from Ryuen in that she’s someone that has history with Ayanokouji and is fully aware of what he is capable of, and wants to challenge him head on ...

tl;dr: A more character focused sequel that channels the strengths of the first season in a new direction.

The second season of Classroom of the Elite is quite a bit different from the first season. This primarily comes down to how the focus is less on winning the ‘games’ individually, and more on the circumstances surrounding them and the long term impacts on the characters involved in them. The first and third arc this season still have special exams and there are still tricks used to win those special exams, but this takes a backseat to other matters and just in general isn’t as impressive as ...

This manga is about a high school teacher who is also secretly a sorcerer taking on a gyaru student of his as an apprentice. The plot is mostly just random nonsense without any sense of flow to it and is full of plot holes and contradictions. The world building is incredibly generic with the a hodgepodge of a bunch of common tropes and concepts. The cast is also incredibly shallow with character development that doesn’t make much sense and relationships that go nowhere. I could go into more detail, but that probably isn’t a good use of anyone’s time. After all, I don’t think anyone ...
