Mirai Nikki (2006)
Mirai Nikki is not for everyone since not everyone will like such a violent love story. I think personally it is an amazing series since it is a deep and well-thought-out premise that has an ending that makes sense in the universe that is built around the story.
The artwork is a very good standard throughout and improves as time goes on. It is showing of its age but at the same time, it is a nice read. Yuno for example in the first few chapters is a lot less harshly drawn considering the strength of her character.
Characters are varied and many
since the show follows diary owners and the side characters that surround them. I can honestly say that I enjoy the development of all characters. You must remember most of the characters if not all have pretty traumatic situations that drive their resolve. Yukiteru you may struggle with until the ending but he plays a more emotionally damaged character than the rest, try to remember this.
From the very beginning to the end with the last diary, this series was a great read that I read consistently through very quickly from enjoyment. It gives a great standard of the source material.
10/10.

Mirai Nikki: Redial (2013)
Honestly, this is a really great ending to the series. It does conclude with a story that makes sense in the universe that this exists in.
The art style is consistent with the rest of the source material throughout.
Characters are shown in different settings in the 3rd world with some retaining previous knowledge based on their roles but ultimately you get a nice story that brings the whole series to a close.
I can honestly say it is a great ending. I honestly thought the 2nd world situation was just going to vanish and there would be a pretty large void
in the story but that is not what happened. It differs from the anime since that finished on Last Diary as opposed to Redial. Redial just has much more of a what happened to everyone and finishes on a much more sombre note.
10/10. Sad to see such a great series end.

Mirai Nikki: Redial (2013)
This was a much-needed finisher to the series which stayed true to the Manga if only slightly out of order. Here lies the true ending of the show and one that concludes with the source material, a happy ending.
The art is the same as in the previous show.
The sound is the same as in the previous show.
The characters develop in a different timeline and you see some pretty funny scenes especially with Tsubaki and her maidens. I really liked the flow of this especially with Yuno from start to finish.
It is definitely nice to see a show complete
with the source material knowing this really is the end of the story. A happy ending achieved in the nicest way possible in a new world as such.
10/10.

Mirai Nikki (2011)
Well, that was certainly an unexpected masterpiece for me. Despite the age of the show it still looks great and has a plotline much unlike any show with how deep it is whilst also being incredibly violent following a love story. The ending may not seem to be the best but it makes sense but do not worry as we have 'Redial' to provide us what we missed out on perhaps.
The art as said is pretty damn great for its age. It is consistent all the way through and has a real dark tone about it. The show in terms of SFX
is pretty old but holds well even in 2021. The OP is especially great to watch.
The soundtrack is superb and the SFX are greatly done. The SFX may not be up to the standards of 2021 but they are definitely at the top of 2011/2012 when it was airing.
The characters development is long and deep and very involved. You will hate possibly like I did the character Yukiteru since he is generally a pain but you will see past it towards the end. Yuno herself is an amazing character and she is amazingly developed with such a complex character storyline.
Tsubaki Kasugano is an especially great character when you consider her story.
The 7th pair are amazing with their pivotal actions during the show.
Yuki and Yuno develop so much sometimes it is hard to keep up with.
Minene is much more involved than I could have ever expected.
I will say at times I hated Yukiteru and I loved Yuno the whole way through. Her pain was so obvious, she held up a front that could turn wars in your favour. The show is absolutely worth watching and will be a favoured memory for me.
A quote from the 7th diary owners that honestly will stick with me 'Make yesterday your worst day and your best awaits'.
10/10. Overall cannot complain.

Shingeki no Kyojin (2009-2021)
As a whole and I mean every chapter together it is a great manga series. The ending for me was just not so great. We got the standard idea of this is the end of that story now let the next one start which is obvious but the story didn't really end in a satisfying way. That said it has a really powerful moment.
The art used in the series is pretty great and shows the hard work and dedication. Seeing the remnants of the structures towards the ending was chilling considering how important they were before. ODM gear has always been
a favourite of mine and the development of this during the manga is no disappointment.
Characters are all over the place. You can really attach yourself to a select few people and lose some and gain some and your feelings go around like a yoyo. I was always fond of Levi as a character and even, in the end, I was not disappointed with his character. Also happy for Falco. Jean could be the hidden gem character storyline, see what you think.
Pieck is the best girl.
Sasha follows in behind.
Historia takes 3rd with her unexpected relationship choices.
The really powerful moment that I honestly cannot wait to see animated is when Levi makes his peace in the final chapter. That was spectacular.
Overall, it is a great series. It is no masterpiece due to the ending but it deserves more praise than people give it basing the scores solely on the end.
9/10. Into the history books it goes.

Yuru Camp△ Season 2 (2021)
After season 1 and some OVA shorts, we have season 2 of this wonderfully relaxing show that has masterful views drawn out for us. The show continues with cute girls go camping and develops from that premise.
The art of the show in terms of backgrounds is spectacular. The characters are all nice and comedic too to which remember this is not a serious show all the time.
The OP is nice and the ED is great and very memorable. Voices are good and sound is a great standard.
Characters develop from last time with minor additions to main characters. The
girls are basically the same as last time just with much more development personally.
From start to finish it is a fun ride and was very much an enjoyable show for me to watch. Some no spoiling highlights for me are:
- Ep2 Chiaki rising up the ranks of best girl.
- Ep3 Toki makes a strong entrance and the cat shown should have been petted. Was begging for it.
- Sakura named the best girl in the show.
In the end, it is a solid 9/10. I personally overall preferred the first season since it was deeper with the set up of the show. It could return perhaps and I would welcome it but at the same time maybe we don't want to start overdoing it unless some major developments happen.

Horimiya (2021)
What a beautiful anime to have witnessed with a story of self-acceptance.
As with any show, not everyone will love it. As with any show, they cannot adapt absolutely everything and that will annoy some people. As with any show, it is down to how you feel.
The story on this is a true coming of age drama with a dark beginning that is shown throughout the show that sets up this amazing storyline. Izumi Miyamura is a protagonist that has suffered and many can identify like him. He has had a bad start to his social life and got stuck in the issue
of everyone has already made friends. This show has the way he comes out of it. It could have gone the other way and if you believe in a world that fulfils every possibility then who knows what would have happened otherwise. You also have Kyouko Hori a girl who is smart, intelligent and not all that meets the eye. In the end, this show is one of many routes the source has of various couples following one such couple deeply and hinting at others.
The art of this show is just lovely to see. I love how emotional the eyes look and I love how when it is humourous they change the style to be much goofier to express it. What I love the most is how they convey emotion with the pulling of the coloured shadow and changing the background with that music.
Speaking of music and sound it is great too. Voices are well picked in Japanese and the sound effects have the depth that really puts you in the scene.
The characters mainly Hori and Miyamura develop heavily since this is primarily their story. You also get development pretty deeply for many other characters too and you see massive amounts of growth. Tanihara being a great example of a guy that has acted regrettably and is accepted and forgiven for his mistakes allowing him to change.
My favourite character Is a split between Remi and Yuki since they are both stories I want to see come to fruition. Remi's backstory was great to see too.
Episode 4 has a confession that was just spectacular and felt so real.
Episode 12 also has a scene that was spectacular too.
I can honestly say I cannot think of any part of the show that I did not love.
I treat every show as if it is the first of its kind to be fairer. Some people say it is much like Snafu and I get the idea behind that but it is a very different story about very different people but similar in terms of the flow and direction it takes.
This is no Snafu but it is certainly a memorable show. A second season would only go beyond the source or back to cover others so I think we can accept this one is over perhaps. There is an earlier similar version of this show too as an OVA that is spread over time.
10/10. A memory well kept.
Also, a side note since this show does it very well. When you date someone one sides family can sort of get left behind. Don't let it happen or just believe we didn't see that here.

Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi (2021)
Yes, the show is a revenge story from the side of things you'd not soon expect.
This show is pretty difficult in many ways since it doesn't fit the social norms. Some people will find immediate offence with the show's storyline but fail to grasps the old one. Suddenly it is not okay for this protagonist to seek revenge but not much is said about what was done to him previously. Arguably you could say he is in a new world so the rules have changed but it is the same world. It would all likely repeat.
The show has a slight
Shield hero vibe with the kingdom that has monopolised the heroes and the cruelty that exists in this world generally. The main difference being one protagonist was able to redo things and the other had to deal with it with no chances of that.
I don't abide by the storyline itself but then would people have preferred the protagonist just kill all these people who have yet to commit the crimes they are in the process of doing or not yet?
The art style used is nice but not amazing. It is sort of cheap for 2021 which is a shame because it had some promise. Magic especially I thought would be carried out to a higher standard but that was not the case.
In regards to sound, we have magic that doesn't really have any oomph and a soundtrack of averageness. The OP and ED are pretty bland and standard. One thing it has is lots of sex noises.
The characters do develop pretty heavily through the show which is great to see actually. You can understand many sides of the situations but also build a view of this world. Not all of the girls in the harem have had their minds changed you must remember some are with him because they wish to be like Setsuna. The way he acts is also very in keeping with the premise of intercourse means higher level caps making him hard to judge constantly, especially since even in this world he was abused as a child still.
In terms of enjoying the show, it does one thing so well, being that episode 8 and 10 especially have Setsuna wagging her tail in the greatest way possible. Bravo to that animation team in that regard. Outside of the issues, people have with the show the problem for me is not even that I cannot believe it's not Hentai but that the show is pretty dull. Nothing really happens at the same time as many things happening. I just don't end this show thinking that so much happened. I actually had to rewatch some of it for this review to remember that this was the show that increasing level cap via intercourse was shown here.
In the end, it is a realistic 7/10, it is not the best but far from the worst. It could come back but I doubt it.

Azur Lane: Bisoku Zenshin! (2021)
Honestly, waifu wars the anime this feels like. Also, in Japanese, some of the voices like Laffey, how the VA manages to keep that up beats me. They deserve a raise and yet I feel like the dub version like the main show will be beyond hilarious.
The story is about cute ship-girls doing cute ship-girl stuff. Nothing more needs to be said really apart from it brings our 4 starter destroyers together the whole way through.
The art is really nice quality and honestly, I could say is better quality than the main show in this art form.
The opening
a simple set of our girls saying the title is perfect. The ED simple yet satisfying. Sounds are good but voices are amazing as always. Javelin also, a pretty great voice to hold.
Characters are as you would expect. Personalities are developed but also linked in relation to how the ships were in real life to an extent. You meet newer companions such as Honoloulou our cute redhead.
Highlights:
In episode 10 we get Javelin hair down which is spectacular. Shoukaku appears with an amazing voice an Ara Ara style one.
In episode 11 you get Mutsu and the best girl of the whole show, my favourite girl personally, Nagato who is super cute. Kawakaze also appears in a very cute way too.
You also get some cute Akashi moments and also some very cute Yukikaze moments.
In all the show is super cute and many Ahhhh! moments for you to enjoy. Bel-chan is also adorable. Feel like Sheffield could have had more appearance since her voice is amazing as well as her style.
I must say it is an 8/10 since the story doesn't have any real purpose. It is a must-watch since it is so great to see. I will watch it again in English just to hear the hilarity of their voices. Hopefully, it matches up with the main show in that sense. I also hope this comes back for further episodes.

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season (2021)
The makings of a 10 but ruined by a single episode. Be ready you will love this season but episode 9 is one of the oddest and boring episodes I have ever seen in this sort of show. It starts off strong then becomes soppy and ruined. That said be ready for episode 3 I cried with laughter and I am 100% going back to watch that one again after this.
The art is superb once again and has improved slightly since last time. I think it is a great watch.
The OP and ED are both pretty
average but once again we have the absolutely spectacular sounds of conflict and magic here that more than make up for any issues with sound.
The characters develop hard and fast and it keeps you entertained. We get some new and rid of the old in places by moving the story past them. You learn of others similar to the protagonist and meet the truth of the cruelty of the world. Rimuru seems to be in a paradise but really most of the world is against him and his kind it seems. They protect Shuna which is extremely important though.
The show is fun from start to finish if you excuse episode 9. It does foreshadow what is to come but just so awful. I look forward to the second part of the season when it comes. Also, despite Shuna being amazing, Milim is best girl still. You really learn about Milim's past.
9/10. Some great new characters and girls in this one. Suphia was a close contender this time too.
