I had to watch an episode again because the first two times, I just couldn’t handle it or really grasp what it was about.

The theme of death didn’t affect me the way it does now,especially since, I recently went through that experience myself...

I can honestly say this episode helped me release a lot of emotions. Each scene in the final minutes felt like a cleansing — a way to let go and process everything I’ve been feeling.

I really loved the vibe this story gave off, it felt different and fresh.

A must watch if you want something different.

Due to the Summer 2025 seasonal 'Secrets of the Silent Witch' featuring a girl with social anxiety just around the corner, I reckon I might as well watch this anime where comparisons will eventually be made.

Bocchi the Rock! is a popular anime and it deserves its high ratings. Bocchi is relatable for the vast majority of introvert weebs.

§ Overview

Gotou Hitori is a self-taught guitarist who has always fancied playing in a band and getting popular. The problem? She has extreme social anxiety and can't even be relied on to do simple stuff such as buying from a convenience store. For someone who wants to ...

All Aboard the Unknown: A Review of Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?

There’s something inherently compelling about a journey into the unknown — especially when it’s done on rails. *Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?* (Where Does the Doomsday Train Go?) doesn’t just ride that mystery, it builds a whole surreal world around it, delivering a strange but strangely comforting post-apocalyptic adventure that feels like a cross between *Girls’ Last Tour* and *Wonder Egg Priority* — only this time, the setting moves with every passing station.

A Journey Unlike Any Other

At its core, the anime is a road-trip — or rather, rail-trip — story, but what sets *Shuumatsu ...

I wish it were better. Fell very flat development wise, especially for the characters, and unresolved by the end.

The art style and animation in some key scenes was pretty, and I feel like there's something here but really was not fleshed out well enough to feel more than the one note and clichés the characters and story beats fell into. Also pacing felt off for what emotional and story development that did happen.

When it comes to raw power and magnetic charm, Minoru Mineta stands alone as the undisputed heavyweight champ of My Hero Academia. His quirk? Those unforgettable, outrageously sticky balls—spheres of strength and dominance so potent they could hold down a villain faster than any punch. If One For All had a crown, Mineta would wear it proudly atop his glorious head (and, of course, alongside his legendary sticky balls).

Mineta’s balls aren’t just sticky—they are living symbols of his virile power and heroic spirit. Each ball is a perfectly crafted orb of adhesive might, carrying the weight of his confidence and unshakable resolve. These balls embody ... strength, control, and an iron grip on victory, proving time and again that Mineta’s balls are among the most powerful weapons a hero can wield.

The truth is, My Hero Academia hasn’t reached its full potential because it refused to entrust One For All to the hero with the biggest, stickiest balls—the man whose raw power and presence could have transformed the entire story. Instead, the spotlight went to others—Midoriya’s endless earnestness, Bakugo’s rage-fueled bursts, Todoroki’s brooding detachment—none of whom possess the natural dominance that Mineta’s balls bring effortlessly to the table. Without Mineta’s balls amplified by One For All, the series feels half-stuck, missing the core of true heroic virility.

Had Mineta been chosen as the next bearer, battles would have been redefined by the sheer size and sticky power of his balls. His spheres would pin down villains with their unbearable weight, symbolizing a heroic masculinity no other could match. Instead, fans watch a parade of typical powers and predictable fights when what the story really needed was the unstoppable force of Mineta’s balls holding the battlefield tight.

Mineta’s courage is undeniable, but it’s his balls that truly showcase the heart of a hero. Always front and center, massive in impact and steadfast in purpose, his balls are not just weapons—they are the very essence of strength and determination. They prove that true power comes from owning your unique gifts and wielding your natural might with confidence.

More than that, Mineta’s balls represent his ability to keep everything together—literally and figuratively. When villains try to escape or chaos threatens, his sticky balls wrap them up in an unyielding grip, showing that true heroism means holding tight to your balls and never letting go.

In summary, My Hero Academia could have soared to new heights if only One For All had been passed to the hero with the biggest, stickiest balls around. Minoru Mineta isn’t just another student—he is a symbol of strength, courage, and unbreakable will. Giving him One For All would have meant entrusting the world’s fate to the ultimate hero whose balls carry not only his power but the destiny of all.

So here’s to Mineta: The most powerful hero My Hero Academia desperately needs but has yet to fully recognize.

When I decided to pick up The Familiar of Zero after dropping season 1 for reasons I still don't remember, I didn't expect myself to become so invested in an anime. This anime has consistently kept me interested and entertained. Season 3 was a bit eh but made up for it in the second half in my opinion but overall it was still good. Season 4 for me fixed so many of the issues that I had with season 3 and managed to wrap up the story lines in a pretty great way and I am so glad I watched this entire series.

This anime is nice and entertaining, but it doesn’t adapt faithfully the manga and it doesn’t get it, so keep this in mind if you decide to watch it.
If you want to approach Ranma 1/2 I personally recommend the remake or the manga, both of which I consider way better than the retro anime, the latter is still a valid product anyway.

Pan de Peace! is a simple little slice of life about a group of girls who bond over bread. It's a simple enough premise, with each episode themed after a certain kind of bread, though for a show with this title I would have liked it to have been more about the bread itself, maybe with recipes at the end of each episode, rather than a somewhat generic anime with the vague theme of bread and baking. Indeed, that's all the story is- It's a short tale about girls who become friends because they all love bread. It could have been worse, but it also ...

Love is Like a Cocktail is a delightful little anime about the sweet romance of a stay-at-home-husband and his borderline alcoholic wife who can only reveal her true self after a good drink. Each episode is filled with cute moments between the two, and also concludes with a recipe for an interesting cocktail. It's a simple premise, but executed quite well, as the main couple really do feel like they've got great chemistry, even if their relationship is a bit unorthodox. Even the scenes outside of the home, and especially the story of how they met, feel both sweet and lifelike. The fact of her ...

In the current year, Sonic the Hedgehog is mostly known for a slew of modern-day game titles as well as a trilogy of live-action films. While releases such as the 2017 game "Sonic Mania" have sought to honor the decades-long legacy of the blue blur, they fall short due to emphasizing the content of Sonic rather than its spirit. It is for this reason the 1996 Sonic OVA, created by anime studio Pierrot, is an essential piece of Sonic media. In a brisk 54 minutes, it gives its viewers a crash-course on the essence of Sonic while telling a story barely tied to the game ... series.

When Sonic the Hedgehog and his buddy Tails are called in to defuse a hostage situation initiated by the egomaniacal Dr. Robotnik, they discover their world, Planet Freedom, is on the verge of catastrophe. Thanks to the arrival of a new threat that has ousted Robotnik from his home, less than a day stands between our heroes and total armageddon. It's up to a reluctant Sonic and a resolute Tails to plunge into the heart of darkness that is Robotnik's mechanical metropolis and save the planet from disaster. A premise straight from the series' halcyon days is bolstered with a few extra surprises down the line. They will not be shared here, but they're always a total treat.

The Sonic OVA is at its best when the zaniness inherent to its star characters shines through in actions both great and small - which is another way of saying the Sonic OVA is nearly always at its best. Perfectly in line with the series' most successful games, the story zigzags from a sunbathed beach to a stuffy government office to the eerily familiar ruins of a city, constantly escalating and rarely stumbling while doing so. With a runtime of less than an hour, it's genuinely impressive how well Pierrot was able to render a globe-trotting adventure starring the world's coolest hedgehog. The OVA repeatedly capitalizes on its animated nature by injecting a level of life and personality in its characters even blast processing couldn't muster.

Perhaps even more impressive than Pierrot's understanding of its source material is its ability to have its newly-created characters keep pace. Freedom Planet's President's daughter, Seira, is a special standout. Paired with Robotnik for most of the film, her outspoken and sometimes bratty nature allows her to match and check his hilarious outbursts. This is no small feat - Robotnik steals every scene he's in, and their dueling attitudes make up a great deal of the film's comedy. It's a shame that so many characters like Seira have fallen to the wayside in the franchise's recent years - they do a great deal to give Sonic media like the OVA a distinct personality and flavor.

There's really not much else to say: The Sonic OVA is a must-watch. It stands as a perfect artifact of Sonic The Hedgehog at its best - bouncy, playful, and energetic, while still leaving room for reflection and depth. It harnesses its youthful energy to deliver a completely unforgettable iteration on what has become one of gaming's most successful series, and never compromises along the way. A standout product of the classic Sonic era, and a perfect thematic compliment to the games that made Sonic famous.

I didn't have any expectations when I started this anime, in fact, I was lying in the hospital bed in distress, thinking that there was no light in my life that would make my eyes shine, just like MC. I decided to watch an anime with distress, I read the description, I don't know if it was a coincidence of God but MC and I were experiencing that similar feeling of uncertainty at that my situation.That feeling that made me feel like I was walking in emptiness and eventually fell off a cliff. That's why this anime will always have a special place in me. ... I'm not someone who watches anime much, when I looked at the comments, they said that the romance wasn't received much or that MC quickly grasped the dance and was very unrealistic but the only point I looked at this anime was a character who found the light of life and how much his eyes shined while doing something he loved with enthusiasm, I envied this feeling, a lot. And even if it wasn't as fast as his, I will experience that feeling one day, at least I decided that I wanted it. (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

Anyway, I made a very depressing entrance but I really liked the anime. My favorite thing about sports anime (or whatever this genre is called) is that people have hobbies/interests that I have never known before, this feels very freeing, discovering new/different hobbies or having ideas about new/different subjects. That's why I really like watching anime/reading manga in this genre, it's nice to discover different things that people like, and the fact that a person's light of life belongs to something I have never known before actually shows how much there is to discover in life. From now on, I will watch more anime in this genre, or rather anime that includes different types of sports/hobbies, even if I'm not interested, it's nice to discover. I even watched many ballroom shows after watching the anime, watching every move in the anime integrate with real-life people and watching them... it was like a visual feast.

The drawing style did not bother me at all, on the contrary, it was a drawing style that fit the eye-catching aura reflected by this dance genre. Although I did not know much about the music choices, I liked the openings and enjoyed reading it as a manga, but for some reason, just like I experienced in "Given", reading is a desire and watching is a need in anime that includes music, I would like the anime to continue.

My only criticism about the anime is that I would have liked to have watched more of the characters' fun interactions with each other, I feel like I watched a complete struggle for 24 episodes, there was more fun after episode 12 and I would have liked more :( I liked watching the backgrounds of most of the characters (not all though), watching the characters' stories always makes me feel more drawn in. Some characters don't know why they chose this light, some dedicate their lives completely to this light, some discover this light for the first time, but they are all burning in the same hell and this fire of desire that has become the purpose of their lives keeps them moving, this common point feels right. And I would have liked to have watched Fujita's practices more, his constant and consecutive dancing on stage or participating in competitions made me feel like something was disconnected. Throughout the series, everyone who was watching said "It's ridiculous that he is competing with people who have been doing this dance for years before he even got a year old." Hyodo actually gives the answer to the viewers: "Dancing is not a matter of experience. A person who has been dancing for a year can be better than a person who has been dancing for ten years.", definitely I agree. Fujita's talent was like a light waiting to emerge within him, as he discovered himself he allowed that light to emerge and it became brighter over time.

I don't know if the manga is still ongoing but I will read the remaining chapters (55-74), I want to see Sengoku-san a little more because 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

Thank you, for proving to me once again that a person should have a light to follow in their only once given life.

It's been on hold for quite some time. So much so, I just started from the beginning. This show has a lot of supporters, some of which think this is a 10/10 and the others, well, they aren't delusional. It certainly has some great qualities but, I believe carries an average on here it doesn't deserve (currently 8.5).

The animation is definitely above average but certainly not a 10/10. It has really good character designs, and the sword based (chainsaw based) characters in combat are animated very well. The devils themselves, particularly in the earlier episodes are quite boring. There are around 6 proper ... fight sequences, which is pretty descent for the number of episodes (from memory anyway). From these 5 I would say 4 were a missed opportunity. Again though, it's not terrible hy any means, I just don't see how this show can be a 10/10 when we all know the animation isn't alone. There is also a few moments where it shifts to a 3D perspective. The first two of these are done really well, the moment on train towards the end though, not so much. It makes it feel like it's a completely different animation style to the rest of the show. 7/10.

Story is again underwhelming. Our main protagonist are tolerable, Denji in particular has his moments of insufferability. Interestingly through, he has moments of being a badass so it's a tough one. I'm not sure if I like him or not. The pacing of the story told is however very good. There is no element of the story where it seems rushed. The best moments in the story really start from when the life sentence convicts are released from prison. I say this because the episode number fails me. This is the moment for me the story picked up and had some great emotional moments, exciting moments and really kept you glued to it until you see the outcomes. As I said above, the pacing was great, but until the section I mentioned in my earlier point, it was doing a great job of pacing a boring storyline. Still, I'd give this a confident 7/10 in the story department.

The worst part is the music. I say worst, it's. It terrible, just the weakest part of this show. It's all a little unexciting. No moment stood out to me, and as a musician who enjoys and actively looks out for, music that adds to the dynamic of the show and carries the emotions, this show didn't really have anything to write home about. So I'm giving the music a 5/10 as a respectable average that I believe is rather fair.

All of the above brings us to an average of 6/10 as I round down. I would still recommend this show. Most people don't have my objectivity and just watch to enjoy, which despite being a 6/10, I took still enjoyed. It does however, have a lot of weaknesses that it really shouldn't and certainly could be better.

Hikari Hanazono has always been able to do things that normal people cannot do. As a child, she assumed no one could beat her. ~Ever~ Then she met Kei Takishima.

Hikari & Kei hold the top two rankings in school and are among seven of the academy's best students in a class known as “Special A." The problem is (and this is a big problem for Hikari) Kei's ranked #1. Always #1. She's ranked #2. Forever #2. Thus, the lifetime rivalry kicked into high gear. It's Hikari’s very ... raison d'etre: She must beat him. She must triumph. She will. 😤 She absolutely will❗ What she doesn't realize is that she beat him long ago. He's already utterly 😍 vanquished. Not that she'd notice. She's BUSY.

SAC is 2008 release. It's 1 season consisting of 24 24-minute English dubbed episodes. The English voice acting is excellent, as always. Unfortunately, none of the written word is transcribed. One of the characters only communicates by way of writing on a tablet. We don't get any of that dialogue. I understand that it may not be cost-effective to put English words on the screen to translate what's written. But couldn't they, at least, have a voice actor read it for us? This is a common problem in older anime. Thankfully, newer shows do a much better job.

Hikari Hanazono is our FL. She's a bit competitive. When it comes to Kei Takishima, she's /rabidly/ competitive. Surely she can beat him once…. She will not give up. Even after scoring straight perfect💯 scores in exams, she came in 2nd (‘When I pointed out an error in the exam the teacher gave me 5 points,’ Kei explains). 😤 Not even then will she give up. Hikari is super fizzy soda, or a Red Bull, perhaps. Kei is an afternoon mint tea. He isn't expressive, and he's always acting cool, so Hikari can't read him at all.

SAC was written for warmth and chuckles. While it reinforces the better aspects of human nature, the value in SAC is found in its entertainment. Positive themes to be gleaned are the value of being earnest and hardworking. Also, we shouldn't judge others for good or bad based on the gifts (like intelligence) or privileges (like wealth) that they were born with, but rather their character.

SAC is a new twist on old style animation. The art has a signature look. It almost looks like a kid's drawing. Their portrayal of emotional expressiveness is above average. They cleverly use color changes to express emotion with fresh techniques. Pictures can say paragraphs when done skillfully. The almost rustic look to the drawing is full of bold long lines and is dotted with unique markers. It's almost dreamlike. People are long and lean with round eyes and simple features. Backgrounds stylized realism with simple lines, heavy outlining and pale colors. I've never seen another show quite like it.

SAC is a 24-episode smile. The show feels like it could have inspired the magnificent Maid Sama-10, which is a stellar romcom. This just works as a romance. She's oblivious, but he L💓VES her. Attraction builds slowly over the course of the show. The last half of the last episode nearly reaches the level of romance-porn, it's that good, and there's a great wrap up. They missed one opportunity: It's astounding that he never said to her that she's his #1, his first🏆place, and she had conquered him long ago. They opted to keep it playful. Perhaps they were saving that for the sequel? They did such a good job, overall, we can overlook it. As a bonus, there are secondary romances that are a wonderful compliment to the lead duo.

There's nothing as sweet as a challenge that one can't lose. That's where we find Hikari. Sometimes, NOT prevailing gives way to an even better reward. Hikari doesn't have any concept of that until the show’s end. While she was piddling around contesting inconsequential things, like test scores, she unwittingly won life's MOST consequential contest: She bagged a prince among men. She'll never be looked at as second best ever again.

Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs is a fun and lighthearted anime packed with comedy, supernatural elements, and a healthy dose of fan service 😁😁.

The plot revolves around a hot springs inn haunted by the ghost of a sweet, kind-hearted girl named Yuuna — and things only get more chaotic from there. It’s full of charming moments, wild situations, and a lovable cast of characters that keep things entertaining from start to finish.

While it leans heavily into ecchi and harem tropes, the series never takes itself too seriously, which makes it a great time-pass anime. It’s got a good balance of humor, action, and heartwarming ...

As someone who doesn't like romance and I heard a lot of praise that it is one of the best romantic anime specially from my friend, I was very optimistic, but it disappointed me greatly.

A lot of silly comedy is not believable even in serious situations. Most of the events are comical and weak.
26 episodes, many of them were boring episodes that do not serve the story. For example, instead of producing episodes that develop Usui and Misa's relationship well, or episodes about Usui or Misa's past, they produce a whole episode about Yukimori's little sister who wants to be a little princess!!

Perfect Blue is a film that crawls under your skin and stays there—a masterclass in psychological horror that trades jump scares for something far more insidious. Satoshi Kon's 1997 masterpiece follows Mima Kirigoe's brutal coming-of-age story in reverse: as she sheds her pop idol persona for an acting career, the film peels back layers of identity until nothing feels real. The genius lies in how Kon weaponizes the medium itself—animation's fluid reality becomes terrifying as Mima's grip on sanity dissolves. Scenes where her reflection moves independently or her stalker's camera lens invades private moments aren't just scary; they're violations that make you complicit in her ...

There's a gap of one year between Gravion ending and it's sequel, Gravion Zwei, being released: Were it a bit shorter, I would be sure that both seasons were planned from the start, and were it a bit longer, I would be sure that they weren't. One year leans slightly more on the latter, though.
Why is this important? In a world where Gravion flopped and didn't receive a second season, this review would be a lot more negative, it would be a review of an incomplete anime which, while somewhat solid, didn't do much at all, a mass of unfulfilled potential.
Luckily, we aren't in such ... world, therefore Gravion can analyzed as a season of set-up to a second half that will eventually expand on the number of characters and explains it's mysteries.
It can be complained that it leaves WAY TOO MUCH stuff for Zwei to explain to the point that we don't even know our villain in season 1... but if it works, then it works.

Gravion starts VERY strongly with an energetic episode one, whose footage will be used to be the anime's OP. That episode could easily be classified as an "ideal episode", as it somewhat manages to feel like an episode which would normally be at either the middle of a season or a season finale. Were the whole anime at that level of quality, this would've been an easy 9/10.

Gravion follows a "monster of the week" formula but, perhaps due to being twelve episodes long, never feels repetitive at that, and would rather make a fight shorter than sacrifice character moments.
It's characters follow archetypes, which while that would seem like a problem for a lot of people... it's otaku-oriented media, OF COURSE the characters follow archetypes:
Toga is a "Max Jenus" archetype (Coincidentally, Max Jenus original voice really sounds like Fukuyama Jun's, who voices him. Though his original seiyuu was Hayami Show, who voices Sandman here).
Eiji is a hot-heated hero with attitude.
Eina is a moe dojikko meganekko maid.
Luna is a pettanko tsundere.
Mizuki is the mature, sexy one.
Leele is the hardest to put in a box... perhaps a dandere?

All of that is to say that Gravion is an anime that isn't there to reinvent the wheel, but rather something for "wheel aficionados" that "know which types of wheels they like": It's a Masami Obari anime, so there will be ecchi and high-actions robots.
It will have a "Char clone", it will follow the "Main Bridge" trope popularized by Yamato (Though here it is closer to Macross). Speaking of Macross, it was a great idea to not make Eiji the "center of all", rather making Toga take that function (Once again, Max Jenus in Macross) while Eiji takes the function of "an outsider" (Both literally and metaphorically) in order to introduce us to that futuristic setting.

Perhaps an issue with it would be that season 2 makes it clear how limited the scope of season 1 was, and some episodes do have some rather inconsistent art/animation... but honestly? Who cares, you have fucking JAM Project playing.

Okay, first of all, I don't like Tolkien. I don't like MMORPG or DnD content. But sometimes I give it a shot, and I'm surprised by likeable characters and a smooth-paced, philosophy-filled, endearing story, like Frieren. I was hoping Dungeon Meshi would be like this. Maybe not so philosophical or mature, but a cute little show about cooking in a magical world. And I got what I wanted. Sort of.
First, As a lighthearted show without a plot, it falls miserably short in the character department. There's nothing deep or interesting; it's just a basic RPG roster with super generic, clichéd character traits.

A semi-decent standalone movie with ok animation (for its time) and a cohesive story, that's all the good things that come to mind for this movie. It takes season 1 and 2 of the anime and makes a horribly paced mishmash that only serves to spoil the story if you watch it before finishing the series. This was made before season 2 so for its time I guess it was better than nothing, but with the addition of a newer season this movie should definitely be skipped.

Overall Rating: 9.8 / 10

Story – 10/10
Attack on Titan delivers one of the most original and gripping narratives in anime history. Its premise—humans surviving behind walls while monstrous Titans threaten their existence—is not only unique but endlessly intriguing. The pacing is well-balanced, never feeling too fast or too slow. As someone who hasn’t read the manga, I found the story easy to follow yet full of unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. Each episode built suspense and curiosity, pushing you to keep watching. The resolutions were deeply satisfying, and the plot unfolded in a way that felt both magical and ... purposeful.

Characters – 10/10
The character development in this anime is outstanding. The core trio—Eren, Mikasa, and Armin (often referred to as the EMA trio)—carry the emotional weight of the story with strength and sincerity. Watching these young characters endure military training and the harsh realities of war is heartbreaking, yet inspiring. Armin, in particular, stood out for me. His growth from a timid strategist to a courageous protector of his friends was incredibly moving. The relationships in this series are deeply meaningful, making you root for them not just as fighters, but as people. You can’t help but wish they could stay together forever.

Animation – 9/10
While not entirely flawless, the animation is impressive. There were moments where it felt a little plain, but overall, the visuals effectively captured the dark, intense atmosphere of the series. The art style complements the mood perfectly—gritty, dramatic, and emotional. The design of both characters and backgrounds is exceptional, with locations inspired by real-world places like German cities, adding a sense of realism. Mikasa, in particular, is beautifully animated, with a clear reflection of her Japanese heritage.

Sound – 10/10
The soundtrack composed by Hiroyuki Sawano is phenomenal—his music injects life into every battle, every emotional scene, and every plot twist. The voice acting is also top-tier. Eren’s Japanese voice actor, in particular, delivers a powerful and expressive performance. The background music intensifies the emotion of each scene, and the opening and ending themes are unforgettable. Each song is distinct and fits the tone of the series, standing apart from typical action anime soundtracks.

Emotional Impact – 10/10
This anime hits hard, emotionally and mentally. It constantly challenged my thoughts and made me imagine what I would do in such a desperate world. The pain of losing loved ones, the struggle to survive, and the burden of fighting at such a young age were all presented in a raw and thought-provoking way. It explores profound themes like sacrifice, loyalty, fear, and freedom. The series doesn't just entertain—it makes you reflect.

Enjoyment – 10/10
Despite its heavy and often traumatic themes, I thoroughly enjoyed Attack on Titan from beginning to end. The story is so compelling that it's hard to stop watching once you begin. While I may not rewatch it due to the emotional weight it carries, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bold, intense, and original anime—especially if you're unspoiled and ready for a wild ride. Hats off to the entire production team; the level of effort, detail, and passion that went into this series is evident in every frame.
