Ok, just like we got highly anticipated and hyped anime Dandadan on Fall 2024 season, We got Sakamoto Days in This Winter 2025 season and honestly, the first 3 eps of this were actually good .... I dont know but there are many people on Twitter[X], Insta and Yt that were trash talking about Sakamoto Days , but honestly speaking , The Studios has done a pretty good job...

Story : 8/10 : Tarou Sakamoto , the Legendary and Greatest Hitman of All time once fall in love with A woman , and now, he lefts this job and now he has a become a fat ... husband and father who loves his family more than anything .. But he just cant leave his past that easily and this anime will show How Will Sakamoto and his grp will able to tackle all the challenges and how he will be able to enjoy his peaceful family life..

Honestly , the story is interesting ... We got to see many interesting things , like post life of a legendary hitman [ in a more dramatic way].. One of the things that makes this anime even more interesting is The Golden Rule of Sakamoto Household , aka NO KILLING POLICY , which simply mean Sakamoto now cant kill anyone .. and no matter who and in which condition Sakamoto it is in , He is prohibited from killing anyone ...

Animations : 8/10 : Now , many peoples on various platforms are saying about bad animations and trash talking , but honestly , i think the animation was actually pretty good .... We got some very cool fights , we got some intense fight scene moments, Now , some people might say This is not on the level of JJK or KnY level , well you might be right but still the animations that we are getting is pretty good and high quality and this three ep are actually good enough to tell this thing ....

Characters : 7.5/10 : If we talk about Sakamoto , honestly , normally some people might find him as boring bcoz , he dont like to talk much , and he honestly rarely show any kind of emotion, but when it comes to action , he defeats everyone ...He loves his family and he is very protective of them.. If we talk about Shin, he is pretty honest and straight forward guy ... And he is very loyal towards Sakamoto , and even he is the only guy that Sakamoto might trust the most ... If we talk about other characters like Nagumo , Lu Shaotang etc.. honestly they all are pretty good characters ...

Engagement and other things : 9/10 : Now , if you really like Stories related to Hitmans and their world , and big fan of actions , fights and some funny moments , this anime is for you and you will definitely not feel bored ...
other things like production quality , Voice overs ,pacing , they all are pretty good ...

Overall: 8/10 ... Its a pretty good anime that you should definitely watch , and yeah the artstyle , the character designs are pretty good if you need another reason to watch this anime ...

The highly hyped Season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries is finally here and the first 3 episodes are just so good and yeah, this series have the highest potential to become highest rated anime not only of this season, but highest rated anime of this year too [ Right now, its the 2nd highest rated After Solo leveling ....]....

Story : 11/10 : If anyone is interested about mysteries, Drama , Historical anime along with some funny and relaxing moments and insane Plot twists, this anime especially this season is for you .... In the first few episodes , we already get many hints about what's ... this season is gonna be about and as a manga only reader , i'm very very excited .... Not spoiling the things , but we will be getting one of the best stories we can get in this season ...

Characters: 9/10: First just talk about Maomao and Jinshi .. If we talk about Maomao, she is just so damn Intelligent and Smart .... Not only she is smart, but She is Hardworking ,She's know how to treat and deal with people especially acc. to situations plus she can manipulate peoples too[ She's very perceptive] .... , And she is not so surprising but Kindful person too [ like she really help Xiaolan to helping in her education and even solves her problems too etc ... ] .. If we talk about Jinshi , Well he is very beautiful [ or Sorry i mean to say Very Handsome ] , he is also smart and yeah can deals with the people properly especially acc. to situations , along with that , He got a very good and fit yet handsome body [we will be getting a lot of info about him in Season 2] which might adds in his character development ..
If we talk about Other side characters , whether they are old or newly introduced in the story , we will be getting a lot of development related to so many characters ...[ whether it is Shisui , The Current Emperor and his familyline, Consort Gyokuyou , Lihua and Louhan etc .. ]

Animations : 10/10 : The animations are just so damn beautiful .... Just like S1, the animations quality is top notch ....

Engagement and Other Things : 10/10 : Just like i said , if you like Animes that are mysterious, have drama and historicity ,along with some funny moments with amazing plot twists , this is for you , plus some people might say its a little bit slow paced , but yeah you will definitely did not feel any kind of boredom while watching .... Along with that , the production quality , The Voice overs , Characters designs , high quality consistency are just excellent ...

Overall , 10/10 for me ...... and yeah, this is just first 3 episodes i am talking about , we will be getting so much interesting , yet jaw dropping and amazing stuff , and this season definitely can beat the Season 1 ....

Finally, the long awaited Season 2 of My Happy Marriage is returned and yeah , it starts with a beautiful episode ... and yeah , this is probably one of the best Romance anime [ with a little bit twist of historicity and drama ] we got in Winter 2025 season ...

Story : 7.5/10 : The story continue from where the season 1 left ... Now this season starts with Miyo learns about the Kudo family [Inc. Kiyoka 's father and mother ]... This season will be having more drama , more mysteries involving and revolving around Miyo's and Kiyoka's family[ Usuba's and Kudo's respectively ... ..]Not only we will be getting more sweet moments between Miyo and Kiyoka [ we already got a very big scene in Ep 3 ]...but this season will contain even more action and drama .... We will witness how Miyo and Kiyoka will be tackling the challenges and mysteries they have to face in the future and we will be getting a lot of info about Miyo's Supernatural Ability[ DREAMSIGHT] too..

Characters : 6.5/10 :Now ,if we talk about Miyo ,in this season, she seems to be a bit more matured , although she is still very kind and she is still very under confident and a little bit emotional , meanwhile Kiyoka is now become even more loving and Protective Husbando for her .. Now , if we talk about Other characters, we got to know about Kiyoka's mom and Dad and we got a bit more info about Usubi's family ...

Animations : 9/10: Just like Season 1 , the animations of Season 2 is just amazing , how they are beautifully animating the sweet moments between Kiyoka and Miyo, and they are animating the fights scenes very well ....

Engagement : 7/10 : Honestly , Im excited for this season ngl and so far, they have dropped amazing episodes with little bit more drama and more action that will make sure you dont get bored ..

Other things : 8/10 : Other things like Production quality, the Background music , Voice overs and Directions are pretty good ....

Overall: 7.6 or round off 8 /10 for me .. This season honestly im feeling is better than season 1 and i am just hoping that we will getting more sweet yet more action scenes form this season ...

Ok, So Solo leveling S2 is right now the most hyped Anime in this season and i would say that yes , it is definitely worth it and not only it is currently the most hyped anime, but it literally has the highest ratings of all of anime that are airing in season[even surpassing The Apothecary Diaries S2]....

Story : 8/10 : One of the biggest things that Solo leveling S1 kind of lacks is Story but guess what, This season actually covers for that story part .... So, short synopsis, In this season, we will saw the Journey of Sung jinwoo as Shadow monarch as ... now he would have to take on even more harder missions , along with that, How Jinwoo will deals with the problems that he is going to face apart from dungeons ... and we already saw this thing in Red Gate Arc ...

Characters : 8/10 : If we talk about Sung Jinwoo, we will witness the character development of Sung Jinwoo as Shadow Monarch and we are already witnessing this ... Along with that, we are going to see other characters tooo in deeply like Cha- Hae In , Yoo Jinho , Go Gunhee, Esil and many more ....

Animations : 11/10 : Do i have to say about Animations ???? I think so i dont have too..
The fights are beautifully animated , we got Fluid and intense Fight Scenes , plus getting high quality animations, what else we need ....

Pacing : 7/10 : The only thing i am worried about is Pacing ... If you've didnt read the manhwa yet , you might not feel it that much , but manhwa readers like me did feel a little bit fast paced .. The thing is they have animated the entire Red Gate Arc in just 2 episodes[Red Gate Arc is 10 chapters long , so 5 chapters per episode, which is honestly , a little bad pacing tbh plus they are cutting some scenes that is present in Manhwa but not in Anime ....

Engagement and other things 10/10 : If you're a fan of Manhwas and if you like Action based animes too, then im guranteeing you , you would love it .. Not only the story is simple yet good , But the intense fighting sequences and since the animations is just so amazing , you will not feel bored about it ... Other things like Production quality , Voice Overs , Consistency , characters designs are great too ...

Overall: 8.80 /10 or 9/10 .... and yeah it is just the first 3 episodes are talking about, you can say this is just the trailer, the whole picture is yet to come and people would really love it .....

Ok, Blue lock S2 was one of the most hyped anime in Fall 2024 and i would say that Blue lock S2 has so much potential, but bcoz due to some problems, they wasted that potential and yeah they ended up made this season a little bit Disappointed for all the fans ...

Well, honestly speaking , i can divided this season into 3 to 4 parts ..[ The Opening ep, Episode 2 to Episode 6 , Ep 7 to Ep 13 and the last ep ,Ep 14 ...] and yeah this contain some spoilers too ...

Ep 1 aka The Opening episode, is somehow ... i will say Its a Ok Opening ep ,We got good animations with little Powerpoint presentation, but still that was Ok ...
Ep 2 to Ep 6, well this 5 eps are TRASH ..Simple as that ... [ We didnt get any animations ,almost 100 percent powerpoint presentations, it really seems like they just colored the manga and posted it, so yeah TRASH ]
now, blue lock S2 do a little bit comeback from Ep 7 ..[ From this ep, U20 Match was officially started]
Ep 7 to Ep 13 ..[ Well, we still definitely did get a lot of Powerpoint presentations and poor cgi, but We actually got good animations and Great visuals too at same time and as Episodes were passing, the animations seems to get better like Ep 11 and Ep 12 , where we got great animations , visuals of Shidou's goals and Barou goal and other things too ....
lastly, The last Ep, Ep 14 ... , i would just say, This ep is the Best ep of not only Blue lock S2, but maybe of Entire blue lock anime...
[In this ep, we got very great animations , especially how they animated Itoshi Rin vs Itoshi Sae , Isagi's Goal and reactions of entire everybody ,it was just fantastic and amazing ]...

Well, Storywise - 9/10 : Well, U20 Arc of Bluelock is one of the best arc [ might be the best arc ] in all of Blue lock .... this arc deals with that will bluelock able ot survive or not and what will be the future of Bluelock and it will be decided through the Match of U20 JAPAN TEAM VS BLUE LOCK TEAM... All the things in this arc is great ....

Animations - 5/10: Yes, I'm only giving it a 5 because of ep 13 and ep 14 otherwise I would probably gave it like 4 or lower than that..
Well as i already stated that the first half of Blue lock S2 was trash in terms of Animations, and in the ater ep though there were still problems were through , so yeah i think so 5 would be generous....

Characters - 9/10 :Well starting with GOAT Isagi Yoichi... He's an amazing MC .... He's the Heart of Blue lock .. Well talking about other characters like Itoshi Rin, Barou, Nagi Seishiro, Bachira ,Chigiri , Shiou, Aiku , they all are amazing ... especially we got to see how amazing Shidou and Aiku were actually are .....

Engagement : 6/10: Well bcoz of Bad Animations , many people actually dropped out the show and feel bored, which is totally understandable and yeah it makes engaging rate worse, but as blue lock s2 improves animations from ep 07, and yeah from this ep,
The show become more interesting ]

Other things - 6-7/10 : If we talk about other things like Voice Overs[ voice acting] and Pacing , they were good , The Iconic Moments in this arc was pretty good too [ although they messed up with some of the iconic moments , but yeah overall it was good ] and production quality was average at best ....]

So yeah i would give this season 7/10 at best..[Maybe one of the reason i give it a little bit high ranking bcoz i really loved This Arc when i read the Manga and ep 11 to ep14 were frickenly amazing ]...

This Season of Blue lock literally has so much potential, it might become the best anime in fall 2024 season, but yeah , 8bit messed up especially with the animations and poor cgi and yeah this is what we got [ but yeah i would definitely say they were able to do a good comeback ].....

Call of the Night is a decent anime ... its a story about a boy who is insominac who is finding fun and struggles to understand the concept of love , so , he stops going to school , and started roaming here and there in night time ..
One night , he found a bizaare ,yet not overly friendly short stature vampire girl named Nazuna Nanakusa who also finding the fun...
So, Nazuna decided to helps Yamouri ko to helps and invited to her home , and after convincing yamouri for sharing a futon , when he feels uncomfortable, Nazuna suddenly bites the neck of yamouri ... and revealed herself as vampire... and from this , the story started between them ....

Story - 7/10 : The story is based on Vampire theme and its a decent story , not new/original , but yeah a little bit weird characters faces...
Characters : 6/10 : Both protagonist Nazuna and Yamouri are little bit weird, Nazuna loves to crack Lewd jokes, but she is too embarrassing when someone talk about Romance .... and that the one of the main things bcoz apparently if anyone wants to become vampire, he/she have to love that vampire within a year from when that vampire bites you or you will lose your ability to transform into a vampires ...
plus they are decent characters are there like that private detective [ she is actually badass] , friends of Yamouri like Akira and Mahiru seki and other vampires too ...
Animation : 9/10 : The animation is great .... especially the nights shots scenes , thats brilliant, beautiful , fantastic ....
Engagement : 7/10 : first two episodes , suer boring atleast for me , and bcoz of that i put it on hold .. but after some days , i started once again and it went good , Honesty , the first half may feels like little bit boring , but second halfs is actually good especially Ep 8 , ep 11 to ep 13 ...
Other things : 8/10 : Direction, Plot Progression , voice acting nd other stuff were pretty decent .....

First of all, lets ignore the Mixed and Not recommended reviews, they just arent worthy enough to appreciate the masterpiece written by mangaka Saka Mikami... and yeah, this review contain some major spoilers too :

I am one of that guy who dont like and ignore romance animes despite even though one of my very close friend was a huge fan of romance animes , but everything changed when i saw the anime Kaguya Sama: LIW .. That show literally changed my perspective of Romance anime and i read the manga too , its was too good , and my mindset was changed ...

And i saw ... some more Romance animes like Oregairu, Quintessentials Quintuplets , Rascal do not dream of Bunny girl Senpai , Horimiya, Tonikawa, Alya san hides her feelings in russian, and some more , and they all were pretty good , but i dont know i didnt get any manga/anime , that can give me that satisfaction, enjoyment, excitement that i want in a romance anime like i got it in Kaguya Sama ,until i finally give a chance and read "KAORU HANA WA RIN TO SAKU AKA THE FRAGNANT FLOWERS BLOOM WITH DIGNITY "......

Simple summary : There is a delinquent looking guy called RINTAROU TSUMUGI and we have our smart ,princess ,cute, adorable, kind hearted girl named KAORUKO WAGURI .... They both study in their respective school ,Rintarou is in Chidori High and Kaoruko is in Kikyo Academy, and now the thing is that both schools are next to each other with having an unimaginable hatred for each other....
Rintarou family owns a cake shop and Kaoruko was a big fan and regular customer of Rintarou cake shop , and thats how the relationship between both of them start ...

Story - 10/10 : Despite the first 6 to 7 chapters may have a little bit inconsistent, but the rest after is pretty good , the arcs that they have , the things that are going , significant events that takes places , makes this manga;s story 10/10....

Characters - 10/10: first of all lets talk about the Protagonists KAORUKO WAGURI AND RINTAROU TSUMUGI , Rintarou may look like delinquent , but from inside , he is such a kind and soft guy , he may do some mistakes but try to quickly corrects that mistake and he is a honest guy who apologize a lot ... meanwhile Kaoruko is also such a kind and amazing soul, she is a foodie who loves to eats many things especially Cakes [ ofc from the Rintarou family shop] , the main thing about Kaoruko is she can expess her opinion and feelings honesty , thats makes her a great character , The main and close friends of both Kaoruko and Rintarou are also humble and nice person , like from the Rintarou side we have Natsukawa , Shohei and Ayato , and from the Kaoruko side we have Hoshina , Madoka etc...

Engagement - 10/10 From the first chapter, you will be hooked to it , and throughout the entire journey , you may never feels boredom ,and as i told you , arcs are there , some little twists are also there , and plus development of other characters will also be there too, which makes this manga even more engaging ....

Plot : 09/10 : Now, ofc its is not a unique concept, Its may look like Romeo Juliet type or Delinquent -Smart Princess Girl got into Love story , but it is way more than some ordinary Romance story..
we have significant events happening , big relevations are there like On chapter 10, Kaoruko told Hoshina that she loves Rintarou , despite even though in the actual story , there wasnt much progress, In chapter 39-40 [if im right] We got to know that Kaoruko kinds of likes Rintarou before Rintarou even know her , and it was genuinelly a big reveal ..
And one of the big things is that the story is not limited to Only Kaoruko and Rintarou , but we have seperate characters arc for other characters too like Natsukawa ,Hoshina,Ayato, Past Arc of both Rintarou and his parents .. etc .... and yeah there are some other ships are there in story like one of the biggest one is Natsukawa and Hoshina..

Other things - 10/10 : other things like pacing of the story is good , it may seems like a little bit fast , but if you think carefully it is actually a good progression , the direction of story is looking good , dialogues and talks between characters are meaningful , and one of the main things is THE ART .... The art is really beautiful and amazing, and mangaka have a beautiful grasp of expressions , which makes that Special moments even more and more special ....

if you want to read a Good Romance manga , please read this manga, it will definitely may become your favourite's Romance manga too.....

Ok, Watashi no Shiawase na kekkon aka My happy Marriage is a pretty good anime ....

if you like romance anime along with supernatural powers with Drama and little bit of historical and adult theme , i think so , it would be a pretty good anime ...

Story - 6/10 [Well, the story is nothing new , yeah it got a bit drama , which make this show a little exciting]
Animation - 9/10 [Animations are really good , one of the great things this show have ]
Characters - 6/10 [ Apart from some few characters like main protagonists Miyo Saimori and Kiyoka kudou , Miyo's ... family ,almost every other character can be forgettable ]
Engagement : 7/10 [ If i am talking about myself, i was engaged throughout the entire season , maybe i was a little bit fed up, but yeah , i didnt lose interest , but maybe a person who have saw similar stories maybe got fed up and left it ]
Other things : 8/10 [Things like the direction , pacing, voice acting, production quality was pretty good tho ]

so yeah in the end , My Happy Marriage can be watched if you need some romance anime stuff ....
