This show poses one really good food of thought: Wouldn't it be cool if people from ancestral spirits commune with one another just like the typical ordinary daily life, from work to home and hanging out together? It is that imaginative.
If you thought that you're having a close resemblance of WotaKoi while watching this show, you're exactly right, though in some good and bad ways. This is mangaka Miyuki Tonogaya's Koori Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Douryou Joshi a.k.a The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague, which is just Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii a.k.a Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, but fantastical like
...
because of how the premise is set up. It's been close to 5 years since WotaKoi dressed up to the 9's towards the anime scene, and people still to this day, gush about its greatness in many a certain way, though not as much right now with how so many seasonal anime are pumped out these days. That said, if you are looking for a close alternative to WotaKoi through watching this show, hear me out before you make a decision.
Adult-casted workplace series are a dime a dozen, but in context to this show, it's considering modern-day classics like WotaKoi, or even as far back as the Working!! a.k.a Wagnaria!! franchise back in the early 2010s. You might say it's just a narrative plot on how these are usually set up with the characters anchoring the series, and I can agree with you on that, though the execution depends on whoever you ask if it's either decent or not. Such is the case of this show here, which features people whose ancestors were spirits. The main couple (as you can tell) are dubbed the Ice Guy and the Cool Female Colleague: the Yuki-Onna a.k.a Snow Woman descendent Himuro and the regular human that is Fuyutsuki, with a calm and collected spirit. Himuro, for better or for worse, shows his feelings through snowstorms / blizzards: the stronger the blizzard, the greater the affection. The both of them were hired by the same company and starting off a new job, and it's the basis of this interaction that Himuro slowly falls in love with the somewhat oblivious woman who loves flowers and cats, and has a cat named Nyamero. You could say that she is a descendent of a cat spirit, and I'd like to believe so that she is just the calm and cool human that she is, just hanging around with the bunch of regular and spirit-descendent humans. Himuro has a younger sister named Yukimin, and she is the idol streamer that has her fanbase as well, though she lives off with her seemingly innocent older brother.
The side cast of the show are also what makes and breaks the series, and I'm just both glad and disappointed that they were not shown much to create the same diversity and effect as WotaKoi does, or maybe it's that I input in myself a modest expectation going into this show. Like the main duo, there are both regular and spirit-descendent humans: the typical Saejima, the playful Fox spirit Komori, the outlandish Phoenix spirit Katori and the manager Otonashi, and not forgetting their department boss and company president, which as you've guessed it, is also a spirit-descendent of the Buddha and the Nurarihyon (yokai). Saejima is a sharp guy, and Komori's the playful woman, so these two are peas in a pod of self-awareness, especially since they are close towards Himuro and Fuyutsuki, with the former being lovestruck whenever Fuyutsuki appreciates him at every corner to let them have their own lovey-dovey scene. For Katori and Otonashi, I love how Katori is this unhinged man shining like a star at everything, owing to his Phoenix descendent traits, while Otonashi is just playing along with his traits like a mother caring for a child. I especially loved how WotaKoi got the side cast formula right the first time, so being full of expectations and looking towards this show for the exact same, I quickly learned that shows like these need the side cast for the series to perform at its best, and though WotaKoi aced the execution, this show was mild on that portion, choosing to bias for the main couple instead. That's not to say that the main couple are uninteresting, because they really are forging the humans, both typical and spirit-descendent together in its own way, which I am totally fine with the interactions of the character cast. But the diversity of the side cast is just as equally important, and somehow this show missed the mark, at least for me. You can love or hate it the same way it's presented here.
The production side is an interesting one to say the least. A collaboration between Zero-G and Liber, it's a decent effort for a rather rom-com like adaptation that has its moments, especially with Himuro's constant blizzarding and snowman-ing of feelings objected towards the people around him. Even more so, the staff are not really that known for their prowess in such a show like this. Director Mankyuu kinda suffered a long drought where he didn't direct anything else other than the iD@LMASTER franchise of SideM and Cinderella Girls, and this was way back before the 2020s. Scriptwriter Tomoko Konparu last worked on last year's Love All Play, before then also suffering the same drought where shows like Nil Admirari no Tenbin and Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi were the rage back in Spring 2018. This is Miyako Kanou's first time doing character design work, before all of her prowess in the animation space as mainly key and more recently directorialship, and it's got a style that I kinda quite like though. Music composer Ruka Kawada helmed shows like the Kiniro Mosaic and Gochuumon franchises a few years back, and you can quite tell that it was definitely geared for a more girlish-centric OST since this manga was made for the Josei a.k.a adult woman demographic. In many a sense, there's not really that much to direct this towards its best, but all the effort here shows that they just need to do a good work, and they did it.
The music here is what I'll give praise to the show about. Takao Sakuma's "Frozen Midnight" for the OP is very catchy, alluring and comforting to the musical senses, and I would say that it's one of the better OPs of the season, in a slew of not a lot of standouts. This is the same for Nowlu's ED Rinaria, which after coming off from last season's "Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman.", has struck gold again with a song that's lovely with the tunes, as it is to listen to no end.
Overall, for a show, which Crunchyroll advertises as the "heartwarming workplace where a snowy-white romance blows in like a blizzard", I definitely didn't feel like the descendent of the Cupid that constantly gets my heart love-shot for rom-com shows like these. If anything, the show tries to play it safe since it's coming off from the manga, and this is a safe show where you could just pick it up and relax to, no problems at all. It's just that you have to manage your expectations for this show being a lesser WotaKoi, but yet with the same amount of whimsical fun that only this show has its flex on the docket.
It's a decent chill pill, but hey, you may like it.

A lot of people didn’t like this animation style but I personally did like it, It was creepy and human-like but also not that added to the stories confusion as the main character went on a journey of trying to find himself. The attention to detail was also very good, I love the camera close up to the features of the characters. Besides from that the story was alright, I originally had it marked as a 9 on my list.. but I really needed to humble it. (It’s a 7/10 now) the story was confusing, and not in a good way towards the end. There

This show is the epitome of the famous saying: One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or to put it another way: the majority thinks that this show is fantasy trash, but to me, this show is fantasy that's out-of-the-ordinary charming, in its own way.
Ever since recent times, the "Banished out of the Hero's Party" fantasy sub-genre has been gaining lots of traction ever since the said series was released back in Fall 2021, and it's been almost a good 1.5 years having different shows showcase more of this trend.

The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague
What comes to mind when someone mentions vanilla romance anime? Is it Horimiya? Is it Toradora? Well, I can now faithfully present to everyone The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague. This anime is so vanilla it could be watched by an 8 year old. There is no foul language, no fanservice, and no devious characters. But does all of this translate into a good show? It really depends on the execution.
We meet Himuro who is the son of an ice spirit as he begins working at some random cubicle company. But while walking to his ...

An underrated rollercoaster that many have rated poorly and left the ride, before even reaching the apex. At its core, this series is a true gundam series with similar themes to its predecessors and successors. However, the creators have tried to be creative and throw in new elements not common to the Gundam series at the time that appears to have disgruntled long-time fans of Gundam, namely comedy, slapstick, zaniness, and lighthearted fun.
As such, the series was bombarded with undeserving negative reviews for straying from the typical Gundam atmosphere which has historically carried serious tones and a heavier focus on war themes.

As a shojo anime lover, when i finished watching the most famous shojo anime recommended by everyone, i started searching for anime that were more slice-of-life. I found clannad and i decided to try and watch it. I watched the first episode of the first season but I didn't really like the story, thinking that it was just another harem anime. Then someone on the internet wrote that this anime changed their life and so I decided to give it another try.

ATTENTION TIP TO WATCH THIS ANIME: Watch the SPECIAL episode (OVA) after episode 16 (EP. 5 OF PART 2) of the anime. This episode is not flller and is extremely important. It is a direct continuation of episode 16 as it takes place in simultaneous chronology. It is very strange to watch it after that impactful ending.
Gentlemen, this anime is an anime with the potential to be a One Piece of life, only much, much better, because not even 10% of the world it is in has been shown. Just to give you an idea, there are 7 god warriors who are all enemies of ...

Neon Genesis Evangelion, sortie en 1995 mais toujours un chef d'œuvre aujourd'hui ! Des rebuilds alternatifs aussi bon, des films mémorables, une fin incroyable (et pas commune).
Pourquoi c'est un chef d'œuvre ? Parce que tout est bon. De animation à l'histoire Neon Genesis Evangelion s'inscrit comme un classique. Des combats soignés, des phrases choisis au mot près, des personnages inoubliables. C'est difficile à expliqué. Je suis très compliqué au niveau cinématographique, je trouve tout ce que le monde adore... moyen. Pas Evangelion, ni les rebuilds.
Le sujet a été vu et revu depuis la sortie dans pleins d'animes sans pour autant égaler celui-ci.

I would have possibly rated it higher if I had alzheimers or was taking LSD regardless it is pretty terrible, the art style are just simplistic blobs and trippy visuals about the universes with some variations and its shown by clips looped over and over again. There is no story as its just clips of a random person floating in space getting sucked into a gourd nor is there any audio at all other than the music. It is pretty boring and basically unwatchable I don’t find it interesting or enjoyable not do I think anyone else would so its not recommended to watch this

A spoiler-Free love letter to 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007)
In celebration of *Suzume (2023)*'s recent international release, I want to take you back to what I can confidently profess is Makoto Shinkai's magnum opus.
Greater than *Voices of A Distant Star*'s simplistic and timeless beauty. Greater than *The Garden of Words*'s controversial yet wildly important story.

One of the most anticipated and satisfying anime series of all time is Attack on Titan: The Final Season. It is the fourth and final season of Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga adaptation, covering the "Marley" and "War for Paradis" arcs.

"Goodbye and Welcome"
The whole story of suzume no tojimari is about meeting and parting, the door itself is the depiction of meeting and parting, and the key in this movie is how we feel about parting and meeting. "Daijin" the white cat is a depiction of separation and "Sadaijin" the black cat is a depiction of meeting. and meeting and separation cannot be separated because they are interconnected because if one of them cannot be accepted it will cause damage just like the worms in this movie.
For visuals somehow I'm not too surprised because of the previous 2 movies but what makes me like ...

I really love this anime, one of the best sports animes I've ever watched. Not a lot of sports anime dives into real world history of different moves and strategies. I am really excited for the future of this anime. The manga has many moments of family/real world situations that affect the characters that I don't really see too much in this genre (sports anime usually show flashbacks on to why the characters chose the sport and how their personality formed). If you like semi-realistic anime that soccer-heads can find relatable you will love this anime. Honestly this anime is on the slower side but

This anime has a lot of potential. I love the characters and I especially love the world building. I just didn't like the writing/storyboarding of the anime. Some parts I felt needed to be expanded on and others were too dragged out. Honestly with the material that this show gave us many episodes could've been longer. But this is nothing new I notice that a lot of Chinese entertainment does this (from dramas to manhuas), if you can get pass it (I'm sure you will) it's pretty entertaining. So, I would have rated this higher but the execution wasn't that good for me.

While the visuals were good and the sound design was the well established world-class performance, I feel like the director wanted to make something like a Bleach movie and was given My Hero Academia instead, yet went through with most of the same fights anyway.
This is straight up a betrayal of the source material, except for the last two minutes or so. Characters bleed more than in Saint Seiya, get impaled and choked like no tomorrow, and can still walk away just fine. Villains have powers or appearances unlike anything we see in the manga. Hyped moments from the main series get their themes reused ...

-This one is a complicated case, I do recommend watching it, and I wanted to give it a 7... but I just can't, and the reason is the animation... I'm not going to lie, the animation for this one is shit, and it's not because the studio can't make a good animation, it's just that they OPTED for this, the art style is different, bit unique and I do like it, but when it comes to the animation, it's just shit, there's no other way to put it, mouth movment is awful, I usually don't even pay attention to this when comes to Japanese

This anime has too much hype around it, but basically it's like any other CGDCT anime only with memes and stuff, its humor is very similar to Hitori Bocci, from my point of view this anime could be more interesting if they added a little more plot and a little more evolution to the characters. I consider it something empty and sometimes that causes a bit of boredom, but I understand that its only purpose is to make people laugh so if you liked Hitori Bocci, chances are you'll like this one better, and if you didn't like the first one, i highly doubt this

I'm here to defend this series. It may not be anything special but it's not bad by any means.
I know the chibi art style isn't for everyone but I thought it was fine. I didn't love it but I think it fit just fine for a series of shorts. If this became the art style for the regular series, I would have more of a problem but if it's going to stay in this side series, I'm fine with that.

They really dumb down the characters. Pretty trash and the art style was shit. I thought this was for kids but clearly the studio has no idea how yugioh works. There is no way in hell I am recommending this dogshit of an anime. Please avoid at all cost. Just watch the older yugioh.

That said, I found it provides a very interesting look at the character, showcasing all of the potential lives she is able to live. It's interesting to find that in such a short span of four minutes, viewers can connect so deeply with all of the various realities that she may have been placed in and all of them feel natural.

This is a very... diverse series, I'd say.
I had an introduction with the "Ghost in the Shell" with the very first film. A masterpiece in philosophical future thought. Since the story was perfect as a 1-hour and 20-minute film; a series with 26 episodes was a tough ask from me. It didn't deliver as much, but maybe I can't really compare.
These are two very different stories, tackling a different world, and another message. One is that of the mental questions of how can the world work with these sci-fi concepts, and this series worries itself more on how people deal with those concepts, with a ...

No idea why this has such a low score. It is on my top 3 animes of all time. The sex isn't for the sake of sexual arousal but exposure of corruption and lust/power, so I personally don't classify it as an H anime, but it is technically. It is like A Kite in that sense. The director wanted to tell a story, shoot a movie perhaps, but this was their concept project. The ambition level is different (A Kite is a Neo Noir/Action film and this is more of a drama) but you get the core concept.

Freezing is a cautionary tale of an anime with solid production values and story, which is dragged down by its absolutely excessive fan service and awkward characters.
I'm not going to bother with a full review since I had to drop the show short. I simply cannot bear to watch yet another anime that forces a stupid love triangle into the mix for absolutely no reason. And the fan service was getting obnoxious to boot.
Having recently watched Cross Ange, seeing fan service isn't out of place for me, but the way Freezing does it, is just obnoxious. Literally every other camera angle is a panty shot, ...

Gotoubun is, for me, the definition of masterpiece, and up to nowadays, it holds the title as my favoutite anime of all time. While watching it, I could develop a close bound with the main character, picturing myself as him in every scene. Seeing all the girls passing through a evolution and slowing falling in love with Futarou was also an exellent experience. Different scenes were able to touch me, and the emotions could reach me completely. It was an unforgettable time, and I wish I could watch it all again with the same naiveness as the first time.

The Fire Hunter is easily one of the most original fantasy anime I’ve seen in ages. Set in a future where theres no conflict between mankind because in the last great war someone used a giant, immoral super weapon which left humanity completely defective on a species level, meaning humans could spontaneously combust if left near even an ember. So a bit like Fire Force, but minus the anime titties.
Without fire, humanity has been forced to rely on liquid fire for heat and fuel. A substance that must be harvested from the blood of dark monsters that prowl the forests by fire hunters.

If there is a very simple way to sum up this anime it would be this: pure, unadulterated, simple vanilla romance. As such, you will likely fall into one of two camps when it comes to this story: either you will find it far too boring to enjoy, or you’ll be like me and enjoy it for exactly what it is–a perfect way to relax, have a cup of tea with, and just forget how much harder the life is than what the anime world presents.

I absolutely HATE the female lead in this anime. She is just horrible and unnecessarily nasty to the male lead and so full of herself that I quit watching halfway through the season. Honestly, her character ruined the whole show for me. There is a far better way to help an introvert be more social, make friends, and take care of themselves. Her being a total bitch to the guy and ordering him to treat people as missions to be accomplished or goals to be conquered is not only ridiculous but also super manipulative. I think if her character was less of a fake unlikable

Words cannot describe how great this manga is as a trans person, and let's get this out of the way already: Yes, Mahiro IS transgender, and has had signs of being throughout the entire show, Mahiro herself is what we call in the community "An Egg", or, in other words, a trans person in denial, or a trans person that hasn't realized they're a trans person yet, which is where Mahiro falls in. Notice that never once Mahiro asks Mihari to turn her back into a boy, despite being in denial of her girlish qualities, some things she says feel like it's taken straight out

Don't watch this. Even if you're a fan of the manga or anime series, just don't watch this. It's legitimately not worth it.
It has actually the ugliest "animation" I have ever seen in my life (I say "animation" because it's moreso a slideshow of still images which occasionally has someone grab one of the pictures on the slide with their mouse and drag it across the screen) which legitimately looks like it was drawn by a middle schooler.
The content isn't exclusive. It adapts an early part of the manga which the 2016 anime series also adapts, but the 2016 series just looks and sounds way ...

I definitely have a problem with the visual style of this anime, same with the female characters, BUT even though it took me 6 episodes to "like" this series (a lot for a 12 episode series) I definitely felt drawn in.
There were emotions, you will get involved, get in the action and that's thanks to the main character. Extremely charismatic protagonist, and most important, very hot, very very hot.
At first I thought even if I watched it I'd end up with a 3 or 4/10, but the development of the protagonist, a bit of naive humor, and I think the combat dynamics, ...

I don't understand why so many people view this donghua as a ripoff of Saiki K. While there may be a few parallels both shows take a completely different approach to storytelling. While Saiki is one of my favorites, and a hilarious episodic anime that gradually develops its characters, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo focuses more on drama, emotions, and the fighting aspect of its xianxia genre. I am certainly not accustomed with cultivation and chinese mythology, but I still found this donghua to be enjoyable.

Surprisingly wholesome anime. Came for the view, stayed for the genuinely wholesome and exciting plot. The MC genuinely wants well for his harem, and the girls are sweet and pure-hearted in return. The comedy is funny as well. Overall I enjoyed it a lot. The whole dog thing, while weird to some, is just an excuse to advance the fanservice, if you can get over that, it's a genuinely good time. The animations and voice acting are all stellar as well. Overall, if you don't like too many dark and heavy and depressing elements (which I personally don't), this is a very easy to watch

The direction is not bad when you think about scene composition and pace. Voice acting is mediocre but the main problem is that they either lacked proper equipment or a sound technician because when the actors are laughing or screaming the voice starts clipping (distortion due to loudness). The art, now the art sucks, and the animation is pretty bad too... why did a I give it a 9/10?
The King of the Pigs has a pretty good and well written story, a great narrative and well crafted characters, it's honestly the best animated story I've seem in a long time. There is a whole grim ...

Personally, it wasn't one of my favorites. The idea is very unique, and it was fun to watch a quick little short anime. Some parts I found rather weird, however that's more just personal preference and not a true problem with the anime itself. The art in the show was pretty good, considering how short it was. The art style was fitting for the story. One thing that got on my nerves a little bit about this show was that not a single person reacted how anyone else would in the real world. Perhaps that's a stylistic choice or some metaphor that I'm missing? I

I only mark this as mixed feelings because I recognize some will not appreciate it. But there is a specific audience that should enjoy this. Don't compare this anime to any other modern anime, because it's just comparing apples to oranges. This is a historical artifact and should be enjoyed as such. A lot of people will complain about the CGI art style, but given the hindsight of 20 years - it's awesome. I think it's perfect for this anime; lifeless, creepy CGI animation was this thing that was everywhere for a very short amount of time until everyone finally realized it was totally ugly

Andrew Tates Worst Nightmare.
I like to believe Andrew Tate turned out the way he has because he had a Nagatoro teasing him relentlessly during his childhood. But unlike Andrew Tate who took his Nagatoro’s attempts at flirtation as an attack on his masculinity, and grow into a raving misogynistic weirdo who now has less money and cars than me as of time of writing because he’s being held for sex trafficking, the artist formally known as senpai continues to strive to be a better, less wimpier person than he was the day before so he can give payback to Nagatoro somehow, and maybe even hold ...

This anime come in league with "Happy Sugar Life". The Character developments of the character is none. The MC is a pussy and a true believer of talk-no-jutsu. Basically there no background story for any character just a minute of introduction. there are many anime which have outdone themselves in 12 episodes but this anime is a piece of shit not a piece but whole anime.
The plot could have been great with the side character like his uncle. the maker choose not to such a shame
Antagonist : 10/10

If anime could be rated as food, then this show would be the fastest, greasiest fast food in the industry.
Featuring an MC who can only be described as Chad Chaddington, a manly man of manliness who decides to flex on everyone in order to have a good time.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 7/10
-----------------------------------------------
Eh, pretty average. Standard anime fare. Nothing stands out, other than female face design being a little "off" to my tastes.

I'm just gonna answer the two most burning questions a new-comer to this anime might have first:
1. No, it's not gay. There's no hint of a romance between the two "daddies", they just live together. There aren't even any cringe gay-baiting moments or jokes, and no character in the show automatically assumes they are in a relationship when they see them with a little girl.
2. No, this is not like Spy X Family. At least not exactly. Whether or not it was intentionally released so soon after Spy X Family shook the anime community with its TV debut in order to ride its coattails, don't ...

So Basically this show is Amalgamation of our 14 year old edgy Chunni fantasy and Sense of our heroic feelings. This show has all trashy trope from mc being Overpowered,Harem,Our beloved Truck-kun etc. But what this show also has a intrigue plot ,Good Comedy ,Hilarious Characters etc
If you are as a new to Watching anime this show is the perfect introduction to the comedy genre as most of the Comedy Genre tropes are blended in this anime.

Despite what its ratings might indicate, Shika no Ou (The Deer King) is a movie with a lot of interesting, worthy things to say, and is very deserving of your time, provided you're willing to forgive (or at least look past) the pacing issues typical of novel-to-movie anime adaptations. This is a film that, even with a nearly two-hour (quite long, by anime movie standards) runtime, still feels too tightly compressed, though stretching the story out over an entire season might have been a worse choice. Those who deride the movie for its purely visual similarities to Ghibli's Princess Mononoke ignore the wide

I think the show was mostly ok. I just didn't find the jokes that funny.
The story follows a guy who is pretty bad at adventuring and healer elf girl who is just bad in general. They don't really develop much, most of the episodes are just a variety of situations meant to hang gags and jokes. YMMV on those jokes, but I found the humor rather repetitive by the end. The same stuff just kind of happens over and over again. The adventuring plots are varied and interesting ,but the humor tends to devolve into the same things. Most of it comes from the elf ...

This anime was good but it was underwhelming for the most part.
It's not that I didn't like it. I really enjoyed watching all the characters really grow and develop the relationships. Watching Yeaka really come out of her shell and how deeply Kirishima cared for was wonderful (Anytime the premise is "Tough guy who has no paternal instincts suddenly has a kid who he ends up loving more than life" I'm going to watch it). The animation was good, very clean and nice to watch. And the comedy was fun, I loved how goofy they made all these tough guys.

In the last few years, I have transitioned from being an avid anime watcher to a manga enthusiast. So I have not watched any anime for like a good 3-4 years. But decided to watch bleach purely off the hype this new arc was getting last year(I read the manga so I understand why). This brought back a lot of nostalgic feelings that have dwell very deep from me, BLEACH IS BACK BABY!!!!! The show is beautiful to watch, the fights are intense and most of all your favorite cast is back. To me this season shows all the best points about bleach. Now

A lot of people say that the first 5 minutes of the show is not indicative of the full show and while that's mostly true in regards to directness of the content, the MC still fetishizes little sisters throughout the entire show, so you have to be prepared for that regardless of those first 5 minutes. For that reason, I have mixed feelings.
As a story about the LN authors and the world they live in, the show is fun and interesting. But the little sister stuff doesn't work for me, as well as the relationship between MC and the girl that loves him. They have ...

I'm gonna be brief
After so many years of waiting, we finally got the last story arc animated and i'm very grateful for that (kudos to Kubo). I'm glad Bleach is back, since it was one of the first animes i started watching back in school and i always wanted to see the finale animated.
Ngl, i was expecting more (maybe i'm too spoiled) from a production of 2022, for a 'AAA' Anime. Perhaps it's too early or unnecessary for it to reach peak animation throughout the season...
I liked the changes in pace of the story, leaving out irrelevant stuff. Some may complain that it's too ...
