Mashle is a really fun series going on in shonen jump and it seems to be a jumble of fun different story elements. Think about if One Punch Man was mixed with the Harry Potter franchise and you have Mashle.

Story: 7 The story is basic but works quite well. Mash Vandead is a non magic user in a world of magic and yet, he has to attend a school for magic users using his enormous strength to get by. While there is much more to the story but thats the basic synopsis. This story helps create a lot of comedy similar to ... the way one punch man does with its overpowered protaganist.

Art: 8 I've heard a lot of people say the art in Mashle isn't as good as a lot of art in shonen jump I highly disagree. The art is unique and helps with comedic effect. A lot of physical comedy is present in the series and the art helps make it even. The art works well in action scenes and the character designs are very fun and unique.

Characters: 7 The characters in this series are pretty good. While characters on the atagonist side of the story aren't very interesting the main cast is fun and a joy to read. The main character, Mash isn't the smartest person out there but he uses his tremendous strength to overcome most obstacles he has even when they seem completely impossible. The rest of the cast is fun including Mash's energetic friend/rival Dot Barret and his timid but nice friend Finn.

Enjoyement: 8 This series is fun is you're just looking for some laughs. The fun characters and fun physical comedy help make the otherwise kind of generic story very fun to read and keep up with

Overall: If you feel like keeping up with a series similar to One Punch Man, Mashle is the series for you and I reccomend it.

When I started watching Fate Extra Last Encore I had high hopes. After hearing about the interesting new take on the Holy Grail War I was excited to start watching. Sadly I was let down by the boring characters and overall story.

Story - 6 - When I originally read through this shows synopsis I was intrigued by the premise. Instead of the traditional battle royale Holy Grail War this one was a simple tournament where the main character and his servant needed to traverse through different floors to get to the grail. While this may sound interesting its not the most gripping ... story.

Art - 7 - The art in this series is different from that of traditional Fate shows. Even though I don't think its not as good as the normal Fate art I thought the art looked nice and worked well in the fight scenes. The colors popped out of the screen and were quite nice to look at.

Sound - 6 - There isn't much to this show's soundtrack overall. The song they used for the opening is pretty good and the ending is okay. Other than that there isn't much when it comes to music in this series. The soundtrack for the rest of the show isn't bad but it doesn't really stand out in any way compared to other songs in the Fate universe.

Character - 4 - One thing most Fate shows are quite good at are handling a fun and interesting cast of characters but sadly this one did not do it nearly as well as any others. Every character in this show that isn't Saber is boring and not very likeable. While the main character Hakuno's backstory does end up being kind of interesting his overall personality is boring and bland making him hard to like. When Hakano goes to different floors he comes to face with really generic enemies. Instead of making the enemies interesting likeable this show makes them the bare minimum that they need to be. An example of this is Archer or Robin Hood. This character has so much potential since its based on the Robin hood character, a thief who would steal so he could help the poor. Instead of using these good attributes to give him some sort of personality he is just a boring and uninteresting servant who follows his master without hesitation. This shows intro further supports the fact that the characters are uninteresting. The only person in the intro is Saber, the main character isn't even in the opening.

Overall I found this series to be quite a letdown. Even though the premise seemed interesting the boring, bland, and unlikeable characters hold back this story from really reaching its potential.

I'll say this right off the bat here, I love Agravity boys so much. Imagine that all of humanity rests on the shoulders of four dudes. That's Agravity Boys for you.

Story - 7 The story is really enjoyable. When humanity is destroyed the last four people of earth are stranded on a distant planet in charge or saving the human race. The catch is that they are all dudes. While the story may seem serious the story doesn't take itself that seriously. The story becomes even more enjoyable when the cast expands a bit into the series.

Art - ... 8 I absolutely adore Nakamura's art style. The characters are all super unique and and the expressions that Nakamura draws for them only adds to the stories comedy. All the backgrounds are also super unique and add to the overall sci-fi feel of the series.

Characters - 9 Every character in this series has so much personality. Along with the amazing character design each character has such a fun personality that adds to the story. The characters work so well with each other making for a fun cast that can always make you smile.

Enjoyment - 10 I love this series so much. On my personal list I have it as a 10 because of how much I adore it. I love the comedy from this series so much which is good because its the basis of the story. The comedy is a hit or miss for most people, you either love it or you hate it. Most of the comedy tends to be juvenille but at the same time its so fun and random that you have to love it. The comedy of the series makes the series story go from plot point to plot point to so well because of the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously.

Overall I really enjoy this series. Even though I personally give it a 10 thinking from a more critical perspective I think its a 9. While the comedy may be a turn off to some people if you do like that type of comedy you will probably really enjoy this series.

Traps everywhere, SO MANY TRAPS! That's Himegoto for you. If you go into this short anime looking for anything but traps than you aren't going to find anything.

Story - 5 This anime's plot is nothing special. The plot starts with cross dresser Hime trying to pay off his debt. Since he can't pay it off the student council of his school decides to pay for it on the condition that he can only where girls cloths from there on. The story is a simple as that and because of the short 4 minute episodes its not executed that well ... either.

Art - 7 The art and animation in this show isn't bad by any means, its actually very pleasing to the eyes. The art seems like what Girls Und Panzer would be if it was way more colorful.

Characters - 5 The characters in this show are the definition of average. Most of the cast fit the student council trope except instead of the student council being side characters they are the main characters without any personality. The main characters entire personality is that he's a trap and not much else. One of the characters is revealed to be a manga artist which would be cool if they actually went anywhere with that part of her character.

Enjoyment - 3 I did not enjoy this show. Since this show has such short episodes it often relies on its comedy which I really don't like. The show has two repeated types of jokes. The first consists of of the trope "wow its a dude that looks like a girl but all the guys think he's cute". While this type of joke isn't really bad, it gets super annoying as it repeats over and over again throughout the series. The second kind of joke has to do with the student council forcing the main character to do things they obviously are uncomfortable with or don't want to do such as wearing skimpy outfits for people to take pictures of. While some people may find this funny I find it kind of uncomfortable and very unfunny.

Overall I did not enjoy this series. It was super short but that took away from its story making it rely on its comedy which didn't appeal to me. While I don't really recommend this if you like your traps than you might want to watch this.
