Right now, it's 11.30 pm, I'm lying in my bed, drowning in sadness. Why? I'm repeatedly asking myself this. Everything good must come to an end. That's what they said. But why Kaleido Star had to end, how can I adore their journey from now on. I feel so empty...
There's something extremely captivating about people following their dream to me. I have watched countless Idol shows for that reason alone. So when Nagieno Sora starts pursuing her dream to be a top star in Kaleido Circus. The largest entertainment group in the world. I felt in love completely. There's never any easy road to the
top, Sora is not an exceptions. But the more hardships, however extreme the show can get, she along with everyone around her shined more brightly than ever. I never thought seeing someone else trying could be this fun, and when I'm up from my dream, the anime is already over...
How surprised I was when I found out this was an original project by studio Gonzo. Well since it lacks many weakness of the shoujo genre, I'm not complained. The only thing a bit weak is its art style. But I'm sure you'll get used to it and love it very soon. Every other things about it is perfect. Every characters feel real, their struggles, their love for the stage. The story is also refreshing and creative. Its soundtrack is absolute beautiful.
I should end it here and go sobbing a bit more. I'm feeling a bit better now. I hope with my poor words, if somehow it convinced one of you to watch this masterpiece. I'll be very happy

Firstly, it's "football" not soccer. The World is not America you know?
Secondly, I love football, I'm watching the Euro right now. Therefore, I tend to love anime about football. So when I heard Sayonara Watashi no Cramer, another work by the author of "Your Lie In April", got an anime adaptation - I was excited to say the least. And it did get my blood pumping from the start, but in the end, what a disappointment Sayonara Watashi no Cramer was.
Don't get me wrong. I love this show. They have everything, introduction was well-done, characters are colorful, many of them have intense rival
from the past along with strengths and weaknesses of their own. But when it counts the most, when we needs exciting matches that bring out character's potentials, the show's robbing everything away from the viewers. Instead, what we got is constant flashback and monologues of characters that ain't on the pitch. No nice play or combinations, all we got are cuts and time jumps after the matches are already over. That's so frustrating to watch.
The animations is bang average, looks stiff at times that require complex movements. The op and ed are quite nice.
Since I got words that the source material is quite good, I must assume this is a case of incompetent directing. I notices a lot of wasted-potential anime coming out of this studio. Perhap they should reconsider making one. For this show, if any good studio picking it up and make another season, I'd be down to watch it. As I said, I found the characters very charismatic and interesting. And thing's gonna get more heated from where it left off.

Don't be fooled by the high score this one got, The Saint's Magic Is Omnipotent lacks what makes an anime good, it is a failed slice-of-life hiding under the shell of Shoujo Isekai.
When Sei Takanashi went home after an exhausting day at work, she got summoned to another world by a ritual. Lost and Confused, there's another girl summoned with her. Without knowing anything, she's not considered a Saint and get tossed aside. And there our story of a overpowered saint begins.
To be honest, the anime is pretty boring. Set in an Isekai settings, I expected everything to be more intense than this,
In fact, the most interesting episode of this anime is episode 7, when we got to see another side of the story. I mean the other girl and the problems she encountered when being summoned. I found it a lot more realistic and heart-warming. But sadly, later she's got fused into the rest of the cast and kinda lost her identity.
There's no stakes going on with Sei, she's loved and adored by everyone around her. She's got amazing power that's seemingly solved every minor problems she has if she has any at all. And for a grown-ass woman, she's extremely annoying, I almost thought I was watching a cringe high-school romance at some point. They could handle her character a bit better than just running away from everything. No one ever questions her or put her in her place so she just keep acting that way through the whole show and never got any character development.
And don't get me started about the male cast, they're so bland that the only thing that stand out about them is their looks. They're there to help the main character feel as ease as possible.
The Animation is nothing special cause this anime don't require it to be. The designs are quite nice. It has alright op and ed. Ost is forgettable.
Overall, not a very interesting show. I don't hate it or anything, it's just not worth the watch.

I will make it short and sweet because I don't want to spend more time writing review for this lowly perverted anime.
So basically, a NEET, who lived in his parents house for 35 years of his life, got kicked out after his parents passed away. He got sent into another world by truck-kun while attempting to save some high-school brats talking by the side way. In his dying moment, he got reincarnated into a loving family (on the surface). There our not very exciting story begins.
For the entire 2/3 of the show, I found it really tedious. Jobless Reincarnation offers no good characters,
all males in the shows are assholes trying to find a way to get laid. While females are often very laid-back and seemingly don't give a damn about anything. Our main character, due to the remaining memories from his past life, used his child look to manipulate people, possibly trying to gain a loli harem. And it's easy because most characters here have below average intelligence. Also it contains a lot of unfunny sex jokes.
And for the last 1/3, it has more entertaining value, now our hero encounters a problem that he can use sweet talk and his natural gift to escape easily. And it actually ended on a strong note.
The animation is definitely above average. I've seen many praises regarding this aspect, but to be honest, I don't really understand why. It looks normal to me. The ending song is quite good.
With that said, I will continue to watch the 2nd season in hope to find a better show. If anything I said here is not your appeals, consider to avoid this show.

Just about six or seven years ago, Strike Witches is one of the most popular anime ever. Following the hot trend of magical girls fighting unknown alien forces, mixing a 'subtle' level of ecchi-ness with captivating slice of life while fighting different kind of monsters every weeks, I would dare to say Strike Witches is the best of its kind.
But a lack of directional choices and various other reasons has sunk its popularity to ashes. A lot of fellow pantsu-lovers have moved on to the not necessarily better harem isekai trash, but I'm still here. I never move on, still waiting digilently. God granted my
wishes, Brave Witches and Road to Berlin has come, but it's lacking something, seems like Strike Witches will never be the same. I need to see their lovely pantsu and luckily World Witches has saved me, 2021 is not such a bad year after all.
So as you can see, World Witches is a short 12 episodes about our lovely witches when they didn't have to fight the Neuroi. Lazy writing from the director but I don't blame him since World Witches is really fun. They maintained all the qualities of why I love Strike Witches and Brave Witches so much.
Just like the hilarious Isekai Quartet, the interactions between the 501st and 502st witches are absolutely witty and priceless. Since it's short, the story runs with a fast pace so you will never get bored and just keep binging the next ep until the ends. I hope they released another season of this heart-warming stuffs.
Overall, fan will be rejoice under this latest addition to the franchise. I do hope they will do a season when both the 501st and 502st fight together, would be so epic.

D4DJ: First Mix proves that you don't need to save your school or become top idols to be a intriguing and interesting story. All you need is a couple of genuine characters with some original ideas backing up with great music.
In a world where remixes rule the music industry, DJ and music producers are put in very high regard. In a DJ-specific high-school, our lovely and energetic Aimoto Rinku just tranfered in after spending many years in Africa. Immediately falling in love with a remix during lunch break, she rushes to the sound room and meets a young DJ followed by the name Maho. There
their journey into the exciting world of modern music begins.
I don't like CGI in anime and not really fond of remixes. But surprisingly, I absolutely love D4DJ. Their music presents many different tones and all pleasant to hear. The CGI is twice the quality Netflix is putting out constantly. They feel natural and the movement is very fluid. The design is a bit rip-off (You can see straight Nico-nico nii) but overall they did a great job.
The most important thing is they focus the show to be the most entertaining experience as possible. No unnecessary drama to deepen the mood, not focusing too much on competition, just having fun day after days. And yes, they do have some dramas but that's everyday life quarrels that bring out characters developments and help the viewers to relate to them more. In the end, they became genuine characters.
Overall, 9/10 very solid show. Wish they do another season for D4DJ, I want to see them more. Hearing them singing purifies my soul.

I truly ìf I have watched Hatarata Saibou Black earlier, I would definitely tried to lead a much healthier life than what I'm having right now. With that said, Cells at Work! CODE BLACK! is a pleasant surprise, an extremely educational show while also managing to put in an intriguing and intense story to deliver its purposes.
Out of shape plus heavy drinking and smoking, unlike its predecessor, everyday life is a torture for our red blood cells. The story follows a young red blood cell as he just completed his training and now he will do his job in the real world. Quickly realizing
his job isn't just as simple as carrying the oxygen around the body. His struggles to survive and keeping this pitiful body alive with his friends and co-workers carved a memorable story in the freezing Winter of 2021.
On the educational side, I found it to be more interesting than the original, here we're learning in more details about part of our bodies, a lots of germs that cause deceases and how something like gout and cardiac arrest came to be. How hair loss happens, why we shouldn't have sex without protections. And those are explained in a very simple way so that my dumb head can absorb. I wished they were taught at school this way but all we got are boring biology lessons related to none and benefits no one.
Even though Cells At Work! CODE BLACK! has to spend a sufficient amount of time to educate us on the matters but somehow through them, they still manage to develops the character quite well. In the span of 13eps, the kid went from a naive rookie to a totally responsible adult with realistic and relatable problems. That's quite an impressive feat considering the side cast (his friend and the white blood cell girl) also got tremendous character developments. I cared for them in the end.
Overall, I think this show is a must-watch anime just for its educational purpose along. now with an intense and intriguing storyline and meaningful characters. I dont see why anyone should avoid this show.

There's something very different about anime made in the 2000s. They have a slow, easy going and reminiscent feeling to it. And nearly 20 years ago, in the breezy fall of 2001, J.C. Staff graced us with one of the cutest and heart-warming anime ever created: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. A truly precious hidden gem of the distant past.
Set in the peaceful and antique fictional town of Muhlenberg - Germany, A Little Snow Fairy Sugars tells the tale about the everyday life of Little Sugar and Saga. A bitttersweet and heart-wrenching story full of laughters and tears.
How can anyone be as adorable as
our lovely Sugar-chan? She's an apprentice snow fairy that only Saga can see. To become a talented fairy like her mother, Sugar and her friends must go on an important training. To find the "twinkle" and let the magical flowers bloom. That sets the tone for the lovely slice of life adventure of Sugar and Saga. Watching them reminds me of the good times that I never had.
The pacing of the show is very appropriate. It's slow enough for us to learn about the characters better while also provided interesting story in each and every episodes to steadily progress the plot. By the half-way of the show, you can clearly see the development of Sugar and Saga and that's a rare thing to see even by today standards. Seem like the art of storytelling is lost overtime.
The main appeal of the anime must be Little Sugar and her lovely friends, Salt and Pepper. Let me tell you this, Sugar is the type of character that you'll fall in love at the first sight of her. She's naive, adorable, kinda annoying yet so caring. She made my list of top 10 character right when I see her. That says a lot since that list hasn't changed for hundreds of anime now.
And Saga, she's the one who brings the depth and drama to the show. Lost her mother who's a great pianist at a very young age, the tragic has a bad effect on her mental health. a purposeful and kind girl to everyone around. But when ever something reminds her of her mother in a bad way, she will get depressed quickly. Luckily, God gave her Sugar to befriend with. And in a way, Sugar is fortunate to meet her. There they formed an everlasting friendship.
I must give my praising to Tsuruoka Youta, the sound director of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, famous with works in Elf- A tale of Memories; Clannad; Hibike: Euphonium, Fulmetal Panic! and so much more... I cant even imaginine this show without his magical hand in choosing music and voice actors. The op: "Sugar Baby Love" is one of my most favorite anime song, the osts are amazing and bring deep emotions in every scenes. Even though, they're kinda repetitive. I reckon he did an almost perfect job in this anime. Set in the town with European's design, every backgrounds are beautifully drawn, really created the feeling of the town.
Overall, I know my silly, homely and unrefined words can't do the show justice. But I really love A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. I wanna spread the love cause it needs more. If somehow and in some magical way I can persuade you to watch this show, I'll be very happy.

Fall 2020 was definitely a great season, a ton of great shows span across a wide variety of genres that surely will satisfied anyone. Even so, Maoujou de Oyasumi is still a pleasant and welcoming surprise. An unexpected hilarious anime, bringing fresh airs to the overpopulated genre that is seemingly overflowing with edgy dark and vulgar humor.
A prisoner's life is kinda tedious and there's not much thing you can do but sleeping. But thing is a little bit different for princess Sya (I'll call her Sya-hime). Captured by the demon king, as a pro sleeper, she can't bear the terrible bed in the cell.
Sya-hime uses her time to make sure she have a good sleep. And not the cell or the demons or even... death can stop her.
There's not much to the story itself so Sleeping Princess in the Demon Castle is obviously a character-driven show. And fortunately, it far exceeds shows of the same genre in that department. Sya-hime is a stand-out character character of the year for me. Her not-giving-a-shit attitude and eccentric nature makes everything she does and the situations she's in twice as funny as usual. I can barely remember the last time a character impress me so much.
One big plus beside Sya-hime is the director's choice to introduce the characters. The show has a narrator to help moving the story but no characters are introduced through her. The director masterfully uses their actions to characterlise the side cast. It helps the side casts feel more natural and let them grow into better state. I'm really fond of the trio which consists the demon king, the cleric and the furry wolf. They're caring, forgiving and loving to our dear princess. Personally I found them to be also a big part for the success of Maoujou de Oyasumi.
When I first watch the anime, I thought the comedy is gonna be repetitive. Thankfully, that's not the case. The way Sya-hime goes to absolutely extreme is just so adorable and creative. Everyday is a different methods and problems that she needs to solve. And it helps that they introduced many more colorful characters to interact with her. The harpie lady is my favorite.
I'd consider the anime visual to be above average. While the designs are nothing new. The bright tone they used for the show, especially when it's set in the underground world, helps to boot the mood up a lots. The ops and eds are very catchy, I'm sure if you listen to it, you'd be bumped up for the content to come.
Overall, studio Doga Kobo (Never heard of it before) did a pretty good job. Maoujou de Oyasumi will be a strong contender for comedy of the year imo. Hope it can get another season so I can have fun watch Sya-hime more.

When will Netflix stop producing shitty CGI anime with jam-pack story in 3-6 episodes, their latest anime just doesn't seem to improve.
I really expected Eden to be good. After all, it carries the name Eden, that's the promised neverland, that's Vinland. It should tell an intriguing story about finding the promised land, right? Unfortunately, this show is just the most clique anime ever, like a 80s novel that's lost in the space of time.
Eden follows the story of the time 1000 year after human's extinction. Why they're extincted, we don't know. Wars? Nature's Wrath? Pollution? What we do know is that now earth
is the inhabited by robots, somehow with human emotions. One day, a pair of 'farmer robot' find a little girl in a steel cocoon, instead of handing her over to their boss as human is determined as harmful by them, they hides and grows her up like real parents. There our story begins.
The main problem with these kinds of story is that, they're mopped down to only six episodes. Imagining the beautiful and interesting after-apocalypse world we never get to explored because the story is too focus on its main plot and the time to build other things is just simply non-existent. And even so, the story is too large to tell in just the span of half a season. What's the solutions? They 'briliantly' overused tropes to help the story move forward. Annoying kids that don't ever listen to their parents? Check. The comical villain who is bad for the sake of being bad? Check. And so many more... it will be spoilers if i mentioned more so I'll leave it at that.
Every characters in this anime are flat cookie-cutter board and unmemorable. Their logics of action is flawed. They make this anime so boring to watch.
And don't get me started about the CGI, well to be honest, this looks better than most of what they're putting out but still look very unnatural. In some frames, if you pauses, you will find the model of our main character is kinda mopped. The music is just average.
Overall, another flop by Netflix. They should concentrate more on the story of what they're putting out and stop doing so much CGI unless it's tremendously improved. 6eps/season only works with drama format on television. Don't do it here. That's all I can review about this show.
