<<NO SPOILERS>>
Ah yes. I, ANIME_FFS, am writing another review. After around 6 months, (and several days of procrastination), I have come back with an AOT review. Yes, I should have reviewed the first two seasons first but I didn't bother to type something about it. This season, though, made me love AOT way more and I shall enlighten you about this anime
Story - 9
AOT Season 3 finally arrives only to spread the sad news that it's sibling was lost in the earthquake of April 2019. Nonetheless, Part 1 delivers an amazing story continuation and here we are, dancing on it's fingertips and begging for more.
...
This time, the story doesn't focus on the titans but much more on the question that has been right in front of our eyes; who is Levi and what is his background? Needless to say, this season informs us well about Levi, his past and a new character-Kenny Ackermann. Is he connected to Mikasa? Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? More context on Erwin's actual desire to join the Scouts and a MAJOR plot twist in the story takes place. Would've absolutely loved to give a 10 but I really hate cliffhangers.
Art - 10
Wit delivers the same, amazing visual again! The gorgeous animations and beautifully displayed artwork never fails to amaze me. My most favourite artwork in the entirety of the season (heck even in the anime!) is the opening. I don't understand why it's getting unnecessary hatred. It's my favourite opening overall because of the deeper meaning behind this season. It wonderfully displays the very basic roots of our much awaited 12 episodes and it is truly amazing. The Levi holding a dagger whille staring at Kenny, the wonderous trio as adorable children just having innocent fun, Erwin with his father and even Historia! I. Simply. Loved. It.
Sound - 8
Red Swan is really^∞ GOOOOOOOD! Pair that up with a heartwarming and very well-made opening art, praised in the Art segment, and you amplify the feeling (if you already love this anime). I didn't like the ending as much as the opening because it kind of reminded me of the creepy music in seasons 1 and 2. The voice acting in this anime, heck in the entire franchise, is really on-point with the expressions and you can feel the chaos in shaken voices as well the frenemy banter between Eren and Jean. Again, really love the opening!
Character - 9
We see a relatively huge amount of character development in this season as Eren, not only doesn't get abducted a second time, but now has become a calm and collected being. He does have an existential crisis moment but snaps out of it pretty quickly. Historia goes from the innocent, kind and inarguably cute person to a woman of change, with a very good sense of duty and leadership. Other characters like Jean and Armin develop pretty well too, with Armin becoming more responsible and mature while Jean too exhibits such change. Mikasa doesn't change much but Connie and Sasha become much better friends, it seems; almost as if they're siblings.(not a spoiler dw)
Enjoyment - 10
I absolutely loved this season! There was something to it that made me enjoy this more than the other seasons. I think it's because in this season, they don't introduce new questions and answers quite a few of them. I also really like the U-turn they made and showed humans actually fighting each other, which makes it somewhat more realistic as it's pretty much difficult to completely unite 2 opposing factions with different ideals. I'm in love with the opening and season 3 made me much more interested in the franchise. It's not too cliched but at the same time, not too unpredictable. I give this anime a 9/10!

<<SPOILER FREE>>
I'll be placing this {{ALERT: SPOILER INCOMING}} at the start of the spoiler and this {{SPOILER TERMINATED}} at the end of it.
Story - 8
The story is definitely out-of-the-box with the idea of killing your teacher (and not in the frustrated tests way). "Koro-sensei", a name given to the weird creature by Kaede Kayano, is the class teacher of a failure class named "3-E", the E meaning End, and it's students designated to kill their teacher before March 13th. Sounds interesting doesn't it? Read on, it gets better. This teacher not only has extendable tentacles but also a dangerous speed of Mach 20! Despite his
...
over-powered status, he has several weak points to compensate. During most of the season, the students are studying with their teacher to ace the exams and training with a government agent, Karasuma Tadaomi, to assassinate their mentor alongside. There's a few fanservice moments thrown here and there, as expected of a shounen anime. The story does sometimes go off course but when it's on the tracks, it becomes really fun with a ton of comedy sprinkled on top! The fillers, that I just mentioned, aren't very useless as they contribute to the story in one way or the other. The story proves to be extremely handy to the students of Class E as each one of them come to know that they're very special and talented in one way or the other. Taking all points in mind, I gave it a good ol' 8
Art - 9
Not really much to say about this but as much as I LOVE the animation, scenes can get pretty gross (not too gross, just mildly). Otherwise, all the wavelength (couldn't make a good detailed description without spoiling :P) scenes were pretty well made with showing the facial expression clearly along with the blackness that surrounded it. The action scenes were well detailed and is much praised.
Sound - 10
I really liked both openings regardless of the majority. The openings showed the state of naïveness that the entire class were in with all the happy tunes and of course, the DANCE. Sometimes, OST wouldn't be required but it didn't bother me much because the OSTs were just as good as the openings! Coming to the constant ending song, I REALLY EFFING LOVE IT! It's like it takes all the energy of the episode and just disperses it gently through the air.
Character - 9
There is a plethora of different personalities gathered in this 47 episode bundle of joy. Every character is different from each other but if not, only 1 or 2 share the same character. Some characters are pretty extreme, for example, Akabane Karma's personality is an extremely troublesome boy's one but there's a really good twist to it that I wont bother to put out, while on the other hand, Terasaka Ryouma is a pretty inflexible guy who sticks to his ideals only. These personalities don't stay around all the time because if they did, character development would be 0 and the rating for Character would be 5. Not only do students have such a variety but so do the teachers. {{ALERT: SPOILER INCOMING}} Irina Jelavich, dubbed as "Ms. Bitch"/"Bitch-sensei" by the entire class, was an arrogant woman who always used seductive tactics to eliminate her targets. At first appearance, she was all of that but then realised she were to settle and adjust with this class. Slowly, she starts to like and care for her students more and more. Karasuma has the same gradual change {{SPOILER TERMINATED}}.
Enjoyment - 8
The comedy scenes in almost every episode lightens the atmosphere and intensity of this assassination classroom of theirs. I would give the Enjoyment sector a 10 but there were several cheesy and cliched parts in this season, as compared to the second one. The fight scenes were really good but then again, the cliched fight explainer was there so that doesn't benefit the score much...if it weren't for the animation and OST! During such scenes, there's always a good OST to go along with it and the animation is, once again, praiseworthy. Not only are the fight scenes great but so are the times when Koro-sensei gives irl life advice. There is always this one perfect OST that is present at that time
Overall: 8
I rated it 8 overall because I think if I compare it with it's way better sequel, giving the first season a 9* would be too biased and felt that I should be a bit more honest with it.
(*= 9 is one the basis of finding the mean; [{8+9+10+9+8}/5= 8.8 and rounds off to 9])
Thank you so much for finishing my review! I'm very glad that you did!

<MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS>
{IF IT SEEMS THAT I "STOLE" YOUR WORK, I DIDN'T}
TL;DR (bottom)
I was recommended Code Geass by a friend of mine and they warned me that it contains a bit of nudity. Truth be told, I went in head first because of that but little did I knew that there was more to it...
Story: 9
The story is your regular ol' payback story but amplified. Lelouch wanted revenge at first but found a better motive; to create a world which is softer and more peaceful by the time Nunnally opens her eyes. The plot twists were really well done and made the anime much more
...
dramatic by involving side characters who we thought would become irrelevant and forgotten afterwards but were proved wrong. Furthermore, this was an original so an adaptation OF the manga was out of the question. How Jeremiah got easily dismissed was kind of stupid though.
Art: 8
For an anime that started in 2006, DAMN! The animation crew did a great job! I would've given it a 9 but I didn't like how they made their characters that much. Still the animations and Knightmare effects were awesome
Sound: 10
I liked all the openings, endings and even the OSTs regardless of how much some of them were hated, ESPECIALLY Kaidoku Funou. I didn't really care if it suits the anime or not, just how good it was. The BGM gave a more intense touch to the battles which were well done too
Character: 9
Lelouch - Your typical oujidere but a bit more filled with pride and mentally fragile. As an oujidere, he is obviously not athletic. I also loved how he kept calm most of the time during fights.
Suzaku - The very definition of Brawns over Brains. I think ,to some extent, he was used as a plot device. Maybe thta's why the studio decided to make him irrational. The perfect example would be when Zero rescued him and offered him to join them but he refused and said that Britannia can be changed from within. Britannia is a reign that strongly hates the Japanese which also controls 33% of the world.
See what I mean?
Enjoyment: 9
With every point required for this sect already mentioned above, what all do I need to explain anyway? I liked how they included little hampers of comedy that could make a big difference if otherwise
Overall: 9
Code Geass was an amazing watch and nothing makes me regret watching it even in the slightest. I recommend it to anyone who loves revenge-plot stories ^_^
TL;DR - Has tits, is good watch, not cliched, has tits

#SpoilerFree!#
Kakegurui is a gambling-based anime that tries to bring in a taste of the School genre but it failed to do so. I'm not hating on the anime but towards the end of it, it left me to realize that it wasn't very focused on the School genre and would've done equally good without using School (genre)
Story: 7
The story is obviously unique to the Game genre but it wasn't very clear what Jabami was trying to do. Sure she had a gambling addiction and wanted to be the very best but if she defeated the President, what was left for her? Who would she gamble
...
with? Can she even gamble with anyone else? Who knows (I want 2nd season)
Art: 9
MAPPA really did it this time! They focused and concentrated so much on the character expressions and body features and managed to show insanity in some characters. It was really amazing! Last time I saw that type of animation was in Prison School
Sound: 10
C'mon man, the opening and ending were really f**king good! I still listen to the ending on loop sometimes :P
Character: 7
While every key feature was great and all, the characters felt a bit off and weird. As I mentioned, Jabami Yumeko is a gambling addict but she was waaaaaaaaay into the gambling than expected! Meari, on the other hand, wasn't but showed off sometimes and Suzui was really kind. Overall, I'm happy there was a huge diversity and gap between each characters' personalities
Enjoyment: 8
I loved the gambling scenes the most because of the awesome artwork, background music and expression of the characters coming to together, making a huge dose of dopamine but not big enough for a 10 though :/
Overall: 8
I wouldn't say this is the best mind-bending/game anime I've ever watched but it surely was good. The twist was really surprising and the cliffhanger was slightly frustrating
NOTE: I was very dumb and vague on this review. I'll improve it asap
NOTE 2: I'm a procrastinating bastard

**READ AT OWN RISK AS THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**
#THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW SO CUT ME SOME SLACK#
So I just completed Parasyte: The Maxim and if asked if Tokyo Ghoul is better, I would agree without having to be biased. Tokyo Ghoul 1st Season was great and all but they really hit the rock with their 2nd Season but despite that, I would stick with my preference. I would/have rate(d) Parasyte 6/10 overall and the reasons are below
Story: 6
I gave the story a 6 because it had a good concept of aliens taking over us and, to a certain extent, forcing us to be
...
cannibals. With the idea of "Humans are the real monsters", the show did a fairly good job but it earned itself a 6 by me because it was way overdone. They also never explained how did some people get the power of sensing parasites
Art: 8
I don't need to review this part. It was made by the legendary Madhouse Studios! But why an 8 and not a 10? It got an 8 because the amount of fight scenes weren't expected to be low, relatively speaking to the number of episodes.
Sound: 4
Now before you get crazy, the English part of the opening was really horrible and the lyrics made almost 0 sense. Fortunately, the Japanese part was far better. The ED was arguably better than Tokyo Ghoul's. I would've given Sound 7 or 8 but the dubstep in the fight scenes ruined it. ESPECIALLY when Shinichi was fighting Gotou for the last time and boy did it lose the intensity!
Character: 5
Most of the characters were very strong in their own kinds of traits like Satomi never stopped trying to keep herself close to Shinichi or Hana who tried to find her "Soulmate" Izumi with her power but found death instead despite of Shinichi's warning. It's pretty obvious that you should follow someone who has an idea of what is going on. Satomi was kind of a jerk and gave Shinichi a lot of shit to deal with. Guess it was revenge for grabbing her boob on the first day?
Enjoyment: 7
When you're at the part of his mother's death, the opening gives you feels which was weirdly pleasant. Despite the horrible dubstep in the fight scenes, everything from the blood to the parasites themselves looked great
Overall: 6
After all that, I think I'll go for number 6. The story and art were good but the ending felt very empty. After Gotou's death, they ended the parasites by saying that the parasites basically became human. If you ask me, the ending was very lazy. The anime could've improved with a lil' more episodes and a deeper explanation
