Meruem x Komugi is the greatest [spoiler] ever told in anime and for that reason alone, hunter x hunter is a must watch, for anyone! The extreme care put into the characters persona and motivation, how the author is respectful with the HxH universe, how intelligent are the puzzles... The author invented a whole board game just to be able to tell a history. How much commitment is that!? One thing that I don't hear often about HxH is how it treats and presents the feelings the characters feel. It often feels so real you can feel it across the screen.

Your enjoyment of the show depends on how much you enjoy its repetitive comedic format and its subdued tone in humor. If you're curious about the show, watch the 1st episode. Most of the humor will match the structure of it.

1 - The Male MC sees something weird, typically the female MC's quirky antics.
2 - He skips to an absurd conclusion, then resolves himself to according to it.
3 - Either he does a bunch of random crap or he gets stopped before doing it, to reveal that he was just overreacting or whatever he's doing is stupid.

This season of Dr. Stone was an improvement compared to the previous seasons. While the scientific elements remain a core part of the show, they’ve been dialed back slightly to make room for a stronger narrative focus. The characters have gained some depth, though many still feel confined to their roles that were established earlier. Where the season truly shines is in its plot progression. Earlier seasons often felt like watching a science themed sandbox game like Minecraft, but this time, the story digs deeper into the mysteries of the stone world. While the first two seasons laid shaky groundwork, this season finally offers answers ...

Sparrow's Hotel (Anime) add (All reviews)

Sparrow's Hotel is a fun, fast-paced romp that gives off this atmosphere of something that should have aired on Adult Swim- sharp, witty, fast-paced, and absurd. The story is built upon a strong premise with a lot of iterative potential- a group of people working in a hotel, each one with quirks and oddities that set them apart from one another. Namely, you have Satou, a femme fatale former assassin who uses her proficiency for violence to protect the hotel from troublemakers. Though she is pretty funny, I actually prefer the rest of the cast, like the petite yet business-minded Tamaki Shiokawa, her obsessive older ... brother simply named Shiokawa, the inept internal company spy Yuu, or Misono, the longsuffering part-timer. Each episode covers a kind of story that could only really be told in the context of running a hotel, and provides comedy at a nice pace from start to finish. My favorite episode of the whole run was Episode 9, where they host a con, and have to navigate the chaos that inherently comes with such a venture.

Next, the art is a strange beast. At first, it looks like genuine garbage, as though it was put together in flash or something, given that it looked flat, stilted, and amateurish. However, by episode 7, when they change the OP, and Misono inexplicably becomes blonde, the whole art style suddenly changes, and the production values shoot through the roof. The whole thing all of a sudden looks so crisp and professional, and it uses this bizarre improvement to the full extent of its potential, making for a second half that is far superior to the first.

The sound has a more consistent quality throughout, with good pacing and a sense of how to match the energy of a given moment, with music that is good yet not distracting.

The characters are the real strong point of this anime, however, as the cast feels like it has such natural chemistry despite the whole show only being about 36 minutes total. Of them, my favorites are definitely Tamaki Shiokawa, the dedicated manager of Sparrow's Hotel, and Misono, the withdrawn yet witty part-timer who is more often than not stunned by the absurdity of the things that go on at his place of work. Shiokawa is great as a kind of central point between the whole cast, and her capability to control the situation when contrasted with her stature makes her witty retorts all the more funny in context. Meanwhile, Misono is a normal guy that only wants to get through his shifts, but he regardless finds himself caught up in the antics at hand, and even finds that these people he works with are his only real friends- once again, it is the contrast he represents that elevates his comedy. Overall, even with the issues it has with production for the first half, Sparrow's Hotel is a fun romp of an anime that's well worth the minimal time investment required to watch it.

So. I get why everyone here seems to be so hard on this little OVA. It's a weird little two-episode children's show chock full of some of the worst CG ever put to screen, that was only made to push some bizarre Barbie clone. Indeed, that's all it really is. It is a bad, low-quality product. However, the second episode is what gets me- while the first episode follows Mei, a young girl who wants to be more feminine, the second follows Keiichirou, an otaku who collects these dolls. This absurdity is so genuinely hilarious that it shocked me at the very start- I had ... to pause it to brace for what was to come. I won't get into specifics here, but he is just about as much of a menace as you'd imagine he'd be, and not even the characters of Pinky Street really know what to do with him. This is like if MLP had a dedicated episode where a brony was transported into their world for a day, and they were all kinda uncomfortable about it. I guess the folks up at Pinky Street headquarters knew their market well enough to make a dedicated episode for each half of their fanbase- little girls and dudes in their 20s. I cannot emphasize how funny this contrast was, and it is for this reason that I believe the story is the strongest aspect of this title, and also absolutely recommend it- whether or not they meant for this to happen, the people behind this anime have produced comedy gold.

The art is a mixed bag, with that warm yet simple Saturday morning 2000s style reminiscent of Yu-Gi-Oh! for the traditionally animated sections, and CG portions which are lengthy and nauseating, terrible in all respects even for the time it was produced. The CG alone drags it down so much, as it is actually hard to watch, especially when they cynically repeat animations despite the whole anime only having a run time of 24 minutes or so. How many corners do you really have to cut if your whole anime is under half an hour? I get this is made for kids, but that's insulting, even to them.

The sound is unremarkable, with a grating looped track that plays during the CG portions. However, the VA work was pretty good, as the genuinely unsettled reactions from the various characters at Keiichirou and his antics are pretty great.

As for the characters themselves, they're all pretty generic, serving the roles that are required of them throughout, with the sole exception of Keiichirou. He provided such a hilarious and absurd contrast in the second episode that he made this OVA worth watching, and as such he is easily my favorite character here. Overall, Pinky Street is supposed to be a cynical boilerplate moneygrab designed to push product, and in many ways it is, but it is also a hilarious look at certain aspects of Otaku culture from an angle rarely explored. As such, for this anime's brief runtime and the second episode's potent comedic absurdity, I definitely recommend Pinky Street for the spectacle alone.

Ooya-san wa Shishunki, or, Landlord is in Puberty!, despite taking place in the same world as the related anime Komori-san Can't Decline!, lacks a lot of the cohesiveness and overall potential that Komori-san has throughout. The core difference here is that Komori-san knew what it wanted to be from the very start, and in a format where you only get a few minutes per episode, that kind of clearheaded decisiveness about your premise is absolutely essential. Indeed, it is this essential quality that this anime lacks in particular. While Komori-san is a fun story about friendship and fitting in despite your differences (with only mild ...

Episode 1 is terrible but the rest is pretty good. So just skip EP1 and watch from EP2.

Episode 1 is bad because it is a badly forced tragedy. Normally for a tragedy to happen there is a bad guy to cause it, but that is not the case here. Everyone is normal, which makes the main character and the childhood friend look braindead. Thus the tragedy feels very forced by the author, like everything could have been avoided if the MC and childhood friend had functioning brains. It feels like a badly written soap drama plot where bad things only happen because the characters ...

The story of Sodachi and her relationship with Araragi was one of the best parts of the entire Monogatari series.

It's a shame that the whole thing wasn't kept in this tone - no fanservice, but well-handled, non-obvious puzzles. The best (or worst) thing is that I just realized how much this series has a problem with exposition - the characters just monologue for 5-10 minutes, explaining everything to the viewer, but the non-chronological narrative and the rather convoluted way of telling the story, straight from NGE or Serial Experiment Lain, make it take a lot of attention to figure out what's going on.

It was good overall but honestly I don't not understand horimiya being so popular everyone says it's amazing and to watch it but the story is very simple nothing really that stands out except charachter dynamics, miyamura is the sensible in relationship and contrary to whatever says I liked miyamura better than hori , hori is this possessive not possessive gf she is good at study and things but is possessive of her bf asks him to do strange things maybe people like that part like mini spoiler she in an episode sniffs miyamura and she can smell other boys or girls scents tbh that ... seemed very strange even comical idk why people like it . To me horimiya is this mix of strange things + bit realistic , I understand people liking S1 but s2 nahi the teacher is this strange guy who likes girl , highschool girls and to me it was just an unnecessary add on done in anime that an adult has to be creepy adult like can teachers never be good in anime or like teachers it's always something like creepy male adult teacher who likes little girls and makes jokes ha ha ha like it's not even funny just ew .
Kyuosuke (hori's dad) : another strange charachter I don't not like , idk but I'm pretty sure both seasons didn't explain much about him being so weird , hum being called by name or being such a weird charachter , I don't understand why people liked him and hori's dynamic so much like except the last episode giving a little past there's nothing nice about him .

Tbh I personally like the side charachters better than the main charachter in horimiya and they do have enough screentime or importance in the story as much as I like story showing other charachters it's just a lot in horimiya to the point I feel like they might better focus on other charachters as they are far more likable .

Kono - being this smart good girl who has a little hard time depressing her feelings
The red head president - being from a family which has too much expectations of him and him secret dating
His gf - pink girl - being this cutesy supportive girl who helps others or wanna be a good friend
Iura - being this talkative funny personality outside and a quiet one at home

I honestly like the side charachters more they're far more realistic and sensible nothing's wrong with it not being realistic but horimiya s2 specially idk why it's soo liked like if someone tells me they only watched S1 or ep 1 and declared it nice it would be understandable but overall horimiya felt so boring at parts and so weird with strange demands from hori of hitting her , sniffing like dog, and the male adults charachter being wierd without any explanation behind hori's dad .

Idk I only watched because even my non interested in romance friends recommended it but to me it's like one of those anime which have some good eps but overall boring episodes with weird mc who somehow is desirable by the audience ( guys don't get me wrong but I'm seriously judging you for asking like a gf like hori irl because she's so weird and normal human girls are not like that pls keep it to fictional crushes ) .

I'm gonna say S1 was better , horimiya is popular but idk find any reasons behind it being so popular like the story nah the story is definitely not the reason it being popular there's better romance animes out there . And side charachters are far better than main Hori especially feels like a good charachter written weird to feel out of ordinary but it only makes her worse .

Preliminary (6/13 eps)

Uninteresting girls doing uninteresting things. I had higher hopes for an ecchi that was poised, with it's unique and exciting premise, to stand out and be a representative of the last decade of the genre. The art style and character design are superb but the specific things these licentious teenagers get down to are highly limited to the animation budget and I'm assuming the source manga. Putting a hand under clothes? Nope. Licking drool up to the mouth of an entranced Tres Magia member like licking blood off a knife? Nope. Put your dreams away. You'll get the basics as if one just wrote down ... the first things that came to mind after thinking "BDSM." bondage, impact play, tickling, playing doctor, electrocution, but they are only interested in concept, not in execution, which is a strong theme of this show. It draws you in only to leave you emotional disengaged as your disbelief is swiftly reinvoked by what seems to be the work of a mangaka with the sexuality of a robot and no interest in creative writing, only money.

There is a moderate amount of creativity in the powers of these magical girls and their preliminary personalities... for a chuunibyou. The Tres Magia present themselves as well-balanced trio of personality archetypes, but in reality, it doesn't extend farther than their costume design. Sulfur is the only one is at all interesting on her own. Azul reminds of something in between Mio Akiyama and Ais Wallenstein. Tall, academic, stoic, duty-bound, the one who's "good" at things; at least compared to Magenta. It's interesting at first to see her quickly become submissive but she's honestly pathetic and doesn't live up to her image in skill or force of will, she clearly just wants to give up on life and be a doll for Utena, tee-hee. Sulphur and Azul overlap in the proper girl type except that Sulfur's is more agentic and the only one with any kind of sensibilities or reaction to being molested daily. Always focused on only what's important, with a no-bullshit personality, she can be mean at times, with foul language and a superiority complex, making it all the more satisfying to see her in a losing position, which doesn't happen as often as with the other two girls. The redeeming aspect of all this is that it lets you side with the villains more easily, as the Tres Magia might appear to be corrupt idol PR puppets who can't drop the facade of being perfect. As high school girls they really don't seem to be traumatized by the repeated assaults and losses they endure, as if they're 28 years old and have already worn out their sexual sensitivity and modesty, kind of like psychopaths.

Don't expect anything to have real consequences. You'd expect a girl to have sore muscles and be weak and tired after being electrocuted, a perfect way to weaken your opponent to limit the chances of your fun being ruined, or to push them really far, true sadism, but that doesn't happen. You'd also expect the characters to have human emotions in response to the trauma they go through, but not a single line of interesting dialogue comes out of their mouths in response to the events of the show. As well, there's really no rules for the powers of these girls, at times they are insanely overpowered, yet the tides of battle turn only when you're getting to a specific timestamp in the episode, not any good reason. It's also very disappointing that none of the girls are interesting enough to attempt to use their powers in their everyday lives except for when it's almost made of them to do it. We didn't even get 5 minutes of Utena experimenting with her powers, an unabashed shame for how flexible their powers tend to be. What happens if Utena turns a drop of water into a monster, or perhaps a pile of sand? We will never know. They used a flower three times though, at least we know flowers get tentacles! The studio really blew their chance at turning Akihiro Ononaka's unique style into a super popular anime that stands the test of time. I can't recommend this anime if you're looking for anything more than watered down hentai with a slightly interesting premise. It went from "Fuck, it's genius, why didn't I think of that?" to "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined." It looks like this gem of an idea is going to stay in the rough.

Alright, let’s be honest: this anime has absolutely nothing unique about it. There’s really no reason for anyone to watch it, unless it’s literally your first anime ever—then maybe you’ll enjoy it.

Let’s start with the general idea: the anime is about a protagonist who’s basically the strongest at everything. He never loses, and it all feels extremely forced, like a child writing the plot. It’s basically: “Hmm, let me create an insanely overpowered character who got misjudged during evaluations, haha, I’m a genius.” Even the whole discrimination theme feels incredibly forced and illogical—it makes no sense most of the time.

The only somewhat decent aspect is ... the futuristic setting, with things like a third world war having happened. But even that is nothing that any person couldn’t come up with.

Now, about the characters: they are painfully cliché. You don’t really feel any unique or memorable personality from any of them. It’s either extremely predictable and shallow or just a generic copy of characters you’ve already seen a hundred times before.

As for the soundtrack—it didn’t impress me at all. Usually, I don’t even care much about soundtracks; either it’s amazing, or I just ignore it. In this case, I simply ignored it.

The animation? Completely standard. I don’t put much weight into animation quality because I focus more on the story itself. But still, it’s nothing new or impressive—it’s just the usual, generic anime style.

Now, the pacing and progression: this is one of the anime’s biggest issues. NOTHING RELEVANT EVER HAPPENS. It’s so fixated on the “I’m the strongest” thing that there’s no real story. Nothing progresses. It’s honestly bizarre how bad it is. You might expect that because the anime is fairly short, it would dive deeper into the story or character development—but no. I promise you, almost nothing actually happens. Since the protagonist doesn’t evolve at all, every “difference” is just him explaining what he did, showing it again in slow motion, or someone finally noticing. But none of that shows any real progression. You could easily fit the entire anime into one episode.

Also, it’s worth mentioning the uncomfortable "forced romance" between the protagonist and his sister. It gets slightly less creepy later on, but since it’s never properly explained, it’s just disturbing to watch.

In the end: this anime has a plot that’s, let’s say, “decent” at best, but still feels extremely childish—like something a 7-year-old could come up with. The entire show is so silly that a child could explain the full plot in five minutes. I know I might sound a bit harsh, but imagine I told you there’s an anime that fails at absolutely everything it tries to do—where literally ANY OTHER ANIME you pick will have something better. An anime that no one will ever list as their favorite. And yet, you’re still sitting there watching it. There’s simply no reason in the world to waste time on this anime. Honestly, I’d even say that Dragon Ball Evolution offers more fun or relatable moments than this.

rarely does anyone get something right the first time and the ep was no exception, some scenes are strange and the characters' expressions lack fluidity, but this would be a beta test, and for a start it's actually interesting, as it evolves it will get better and better, the artists have a reason to fear the AI, about the story it's basically about 2 NPCs that were created and that ended up bugging everything in the end, a breaking of the fourth wall in a way but within the animation itself, I came to see more out of curiosity but it needs to improve

This movie had big shoes to fill. After all,the novel is a really strong work of sci-fi, and it would be worrying if the anime would join the ranks of the Edge of Tomorrow live action as a really bad adaptation of that novel.
It succeeded in doing so. The Visuals are gorgeous. The distinction between the alien and the human elements are perfect.
The VA, despite being composed of a lot of newcomers, was really compelling.
The pacing is set correctly, while conveying properly the frustration of the loops
Now, to address the elephant in the room, the story is a retelling of the novel, with ...

I'll start by saying right away, THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE ANIME, if you came for the romance you'll be disappointed and it's better to go see something else, but if your focus is a good story and character development and a suspenseful unfolding you'll definitely find that here, the plots are interesting and make sense in the story, it's not something forced, even though the protagonist doesn't show any kind of feeling as she learns she gains more layers, let's root for her sister after she decides ..... for her sister, the prince who conquers her with his charisma beyond the kingdom, the animation ...

What happens when a technical masterpiece is morally bankrupt?

Mushoku Tensei is, and I don't say this lightly, the epitome of isekai storytelling and the antithesis of what ought to be portrayed to an engaged audience-- it is a work so close to greatness that its shortcomings feel like complete betrayal.

This IS NOT a generic truck-kun induced adventure story. Rudeus Greyrat carries genuine trauma, real consequences, and the weight of a lived failure into his second chance. The new world breathes with authentic detail. The characters possess depth and flaws that puts many anime protagonists to shame.

Despite that, the anime harbors something rotten.

The eps are basically 12 different stories in which the only connection between them is Patty's plot. There are stories that you expect something more intense but that's all she really offers and there are very good stories like 3, 5, 6 for me is the best ep and 4 is a criticism if you pay attention, I would have liked to have seen a little more of the development of Lady and Trish, the animation is satisfactory with a mistake here and there but it doesn't get in the way and in fact they go unnoticed to those who are not used to seeing ...

There's nothing to say about Code Geass—except that it's a masterpiece. Lelouch is probably the single best-written character in anime, and I've seen a lot of them. His journey is so well done that the closer you get to the end, the sadder you feel—because you know it will soon be over.
The story: it's as good as it gets it's just intriguing to see where it goes it's filled with ambition.
the art: this anime is really old yet it holds up surprisingly well would even go as far to say it beats others from the same era.

The whole show is just people kissing each other with a really uninteresting story. I assume this is an attempt to just ship people? The characters range from horrendous to tolerable. The female main character is the worst one of them all. Somehow, she has less personality than the shy girl. She doesn't say or do anything interesting she might as well just be a chair with boobs. The main character is also boring he's just the "misunderstood delinquent" archetype that seems to have been popular in the time period that this came out.

Lackluster story. Boring characters. Terrible romance. It's a 2/10 because sadly, watching ...

I've never done an anime review before since I prefer my small community of manga readers, but I can't help but review this after how speechless and giddy this left me. I've previously encountered the Demon Lord 2099 through its first manga, but despite how promising it seemed, it got discontinued. Of course, I was immensely disappointed, but then there was a remake! Aaand.... the remake never got translations.

However, after darkness there is light because somehow, and some God spoken way, there is this. An anime. Honestly, it was my first "new" anime in 3 years. Yup, I've officially retired from watching anime and only ...

I’d rate this season as just okay. The story felt fairly predictable and didn’t do much to keep me fully engaged. While that might work for fans of the genre, I personally found it lacking in originality. It follows the typical action anime formula without adding anything new or memorable to the mix.

Visually, the anime was solid. The graphics were clean and consistent—nothing groundbreaking, but still polished and well-executed for the genre. The action scenes were visually satisfying, though I found myself wishing the emotional moments hit harder.

My main issue lies with the main character. He felt very one-dimensional and emotionally flat. There’s very little ...

So, I like the relationship between the two main leads. I would totally ship them.
Kobayashi is funny, and interesting for a female lead. She has a lot of stereo typically male characteristics (black out drunk, bad at cleaning, likes a girl in a maid outfit...). Tooru is cute.
The art is nice.
There is not much of a plot, which is ok. Slice of life can be fun, but in this case it does drag a little.
Dragons are great!
However, there is some awkward fan service, particularly with characters who are children. If we took that element out (or even just kept the fan ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

So far, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten just feels like generic romance anime #1000. The production is mid, the pacing is slow, and every scene falls into one of the usual patterns: the blush inducing setups, accidental intimacy, or a misunderstanding. There’s some tension when others start noticing their relationship, but it’s the just the same low-stakes drama you’ve seen every season.

The main girl is a textbook Mary Sue. perfect, selfless, and unrealistically nurturing. Hints of trauma don’t add depth, they just check a box. The male lead is just as uninteresting. He's polite, passive, and just present enough to make the fantasy ...

To give you guys more perspective, think about the game “Zenless Zone Zero” by Hoyoverse. They own a DVD shop that has hidden services. Link Click works the same way except they own a photography business with their own services. Link Click is something considered as “the hidden gem” sort of show. As soon as I read the synopsis, I immediately got interested.

For the rating, one thing that easily raises its standards is its story writing and plot twists. The art is somewhat decent because well its a donghua, ...

While overlong, a raw charm helped Psycho Armor Govarian worm It's way into my heart by the half way point. Overambitious yet underinspired (Hope you like Star Wars But Anime) but with oddly memorable characters and a great jank translation (by subbing anti-legend AnimeShinigami) available on the internet, that reads like a machine(?) translation of the Italian sub version.
There may well be more to forgive in this show then there is to condemn.
Some highlights include: Hardly original yet detailed spacecraft designs, decent mech battles in some of the early episodes, a stupid meme score that includes Not Chariots of Fire and Other Wannabe ...

Even some of my least favorite X-men comic arcs I've read aren't as bland as this anime. Completely lacking in 'cool factor' with only an artificial lightheartedness that results in zero charm. The cast has an old school X-men level of one dimensionality—every character boiled down to their basest and most cliche form, and Wolverine isn't even a quarter as badass as he should be. Also irritating is the closing credits visualizer being a slow scroll upward of a bunch of cool as hell classic X-men villains, none of which will be making an appearance in this show. Weak animation, generic tier score for the ...

This anime's animation and pacing are downright unbearable. It’s honestly painful to sit through. And yet, here I am—still watching—just because I heard the manhwa is good and supposedly better than Solo Leveling. But after 10 episodes? I can confidently say the story is trash. It feels like I’ve seen this exact same plot recycled a hundred times already.

And don’t even get me started on that damn magical beast dragon sound—“kiu kiu”—it’s so irritating I want to mute the screen every time. Watching this mess just reminds me why I sometimes regret watching anime in the first place.

This is an incredible story. The characters are extremely well written and consistent throughout the whole story, something that's difficult for a writer and rare for a viewer. Even though i don't think the characters are realistic enough at all to be actually called "realistic", the emotions they feel are complex and they are real.
Even with all this considered while the characters are some of the best, the plot is just not. The whole plot is unrealistic and over-exagerated, the situationships are childish and extremely unrealistic, so much so that it makes it look like a superficial show, one that doesn't necessarily need to be ...

After watching the main Attack on Titan, my brain was messed up and my heart felt heavy. I needed something to refresh my mood and Junior High was the perfect medicine.

This anime is absolutely hilarious! Seeing Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and the rest of the cast in a parody version of their intense world was so much fun. It turned all the serious characters into comedy gold without losing their essence.

The art is cute, the humor is constant, and the references to the original series are spot-on. Every episode made me laugh, and it was such a relief after the dark and emotional ride of AOT.

This anime was a pretty fun and unexpected ride! The plot itself is a creative twist on the usual isekai formula — a mother and son thrown into a game world together, where the mom turns out to be way more OP than anyone expected.

The comedy and fan service were enjoyable, though I personally could’ve done without some of the fan service moments involving the mom 😅. Still, it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience.

What I loved the most was the MC’s internal monologue — it matched my own reactions so well, it felt like he was reading my mind 😂. His ...
