TLDR Ver - It's one of those feel good animes that make you feel good, and nothing important happens. Not into it, but I can see the appeal. 5/10
Iyashikei - "A sub-genre of slice of life, portraying characters living out peaceful lives in calming environments, and is intended to have a healing effect on the audience." - Wikipedia
Personally I'm not into this kind of anime but I gave this one a try and its the most Iyashikei anime that has ever Iyashikei in my life. Feels like a drag to watching, since the characters literally talk about nothing important. But, I found myself watching
...
in every week for that feel good feeling. Even though nothing happens, the ending is kind of "controversial" and I'm not into the genre. I can easily see someone would like this anime and the whole Iyashikei sub-genre as a whole.

TL;DR This show is a slice of life with a little of vampire politics. 9 out of 10. Recommended of some but not all.
Let me get my positives out first. The music... Oh my god the music! The music, SLAPS, harder then an alcoholic-father-yelling-at-his-son-to-get-another-beer-but-the-son-in-question-refused. Holy Jesus! I will buy the OST on disk if it ever comes out. And the ending and opening theme songs? I can't put into words how much I love it.
The animation is simply beautiful. I love the dynamic color scheme the show has though out its 13 episodes. It screenshot, PC desktop background levels of animation. Voice acting, stacked and
...
great, performance is top notch. At the time off writing, I watched the whole anime in Japanese, but saw a little clip in English, and I wasn't disappointed in the performance.
But... There're 2 big downsides to the anime. Its plot and age gap. When you're not in the mood to watch a Slice of Life anime then its just a glorified ambiance noise maker. This anime is very chill and the staff knows this; so, the music, animation, etc it's all very calm. Not to say the anime has its moments, and those moments do-hit-hard. Personal, I don't mind the overall the relax tone to the anime, but you will need to pay attention and focus on the anime to get the most out of it.
Let's get the big stain out of the bed... The age gap. The main character, Kou Yamor, is 14 and the main love interest, Nazuna Nanakusa, is a 40 year old who looks like a teenager. But this stain get's 10 times worst with the human detective character, Anko Uguisu who actively hits on Kou Yamor. I been deep in anime (and by deep I mean I watched the directors past work, the Monogatari Series) so this didn't stop me from watching cause, I just chalked it up as "Cultural difference," with the "cringe emoji" on google images being my face every time I see Anko hit on Kou.
Is this show good? Very. Should you watch it? Yes even with the whole age gap thing.

TL;DR/Spoiler Free Version - Fantastic animation! Great music but any music made for the anime is alright. Story was great until episode 8 and afterwards it goes from great to good. If you haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, watch the anime. If you like gore with a pretty decent story then watch this.
This is Demon Slayer but with a better story. The animation is hands down the best part of this anime. Voice acting in the English Dub was perfect. The "OST" is not really original. 80% of the songs in the anime are from the video game, Cyberpunk 2077. The other 20% is alright. Not
...
so good that I'll be listening to it again and again everyday. But it served its purpose. I love how if you played 2077 you can recognize a lot of the setting. It looks like Studio Trigger really filmed the anime within the city itself.
Now the story. Let me give you a recap for the purpose of my future point. A person gets their hands on an Arasaka cyberware implant, Arasaka isn't happy about it and they want it back. Anyone who played 2077 would know this is the exact same story as 2077. The only difference is V wants the implant OUT while David wants to keep it IN. The anime feels like I'm watching a bugless playthrough of 2077. Which is not a positive. I loved the story of 2077, don’t get me wrong! But I wanted something DIFFERENT from this anime. Not just the meme, “Can I copy your homework? Yeah, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied.”
What I'm saying is, without Cyberpunk 2077 being a thing, this anime would probably be called a "Hidden Gem" or "Forgotten Gem" in a couple of months. I'm not disappointed with the Trigger themselves. They went above and beyond the call of duty for this anime. I'm just disappointed that the story seems to just play it safe and copy Cyberpunk 2077 while making one change.
Should you watch Cyberpunk Edgerunner? Yeah. Should you watch it even if you played the game? My answer to that question is a word meaning yes and no at the same time. Honestly, if you didn’t like 2077’s story then don’t watch this anime but if you did, well don’t I have a surprise for you!
*If you know what I'm talking about then that's okay. But

TLDR Version: Great animation with a very interesting first half but stale final act (with things just happening for no reason) makes this movie at a, "yeah watch it if you have time."
First, the animation in this movie is very good. 3D models almost blend in the scene. The effects and movements are smooth. Nothing is wrong with this movie animation and sound wise. The story is what really matters. The movie has 3 acts. Act 1 takes up nearly half, while act 2 takes around 20 minutes and act 3 takes 1 hour. Acts 1 and 2 are the best parts of the movies
...
and you can enjoy the story in these parts without being confused all that much (at least I was.) Act 3 is the main problem. If I can show a graph on how confused and how many questions it'll be from 0 to 100. Things just seem to happen for the sake of happening. Heroes and allies suddenly turn evil. Magical items and ideas are pulled out of nowhere. Things that should kill our character apparently don't?
(CENSORED SPOILERS) Example: Character A fights character B. A and B form crystals on their body. We see the crystals making A bleed. A blows up a propane can in a closed room and we see the flames burning his outline. Some time later A shows up all well and good not even breaking a sweat. The same example can be said about another character in Act 2 who literally gets an entire blade though his stomach! And pull it out! Blood is EVERWHERE! Nope dead. It seems like this movie really did not want its characters to die, which is very weird because at the end of act 1 a character we got to know very well gets killed. It was almost like the writers got cold feet and decided to throw on plot armor on all characters. I went from, "No! Not him too! I like him so much! I wonder how the others will react?" To, "he'll be back."
Should you watch this anime? Yes but this anime isn’t perfect.

TL;DR Version - I present you, your generic rom-com of the season! Come in expecting something and you be glad to find that this show presents tons of something! Should you watch it? Sure, but don't be in a rush to watch it. This show it good but not good enough to take priority.
If you watched many rom-com animes then, you'll know what to expected from this anime. Cuteness, much wholesome-100s, lots of wacky hijinks after which hilarity ensues! Anything I say about this anime can apply to other and better rom-coms I watched. It's good but don't expect to remember this show longer than
...
3 mouths.
Note: The title and synopsis is kind of misleading. You of expect Futaba being annoyed by Harumi to be the main focus but the anime takes time to intrude side characters and their stories. Take that as you will.

TD;DR Do you like dark, anti-hero protagonists, who are overpowered, gets all the girls and is always one step ahead out of the blue? Do you like cookie cutter iseakis with at least 8-out-of-10 cliches listed in every article/video titled "10 cliches in iseaki animes?" This show fits all you book! If not, then just skip this "it was alright out of 10" or drop it once the third arc begins since that where I say the show get repetitive.
Longer Review: At first I enjoyed the idea of the anime equivalent of John Wick getting iseakied. You get to watched a cold-hearted killer finally get
...
the family he deep down wished for and also adopt skills from him old world to the new one. After that, watching the show became a task. The show can be broken down into 7 parts. MC gets task to do, MC finds a girl that conveniently can be used to aid him in said plan, something happened unexpected, MC pulls the "you fool! I was 100 steps ahead of you the whole time!' trick, girl falls in love with MC. I knew the MC would be on top but the journey to it was not worth caring about. At least the OP and ED were great, the first 4 episodes were entertaining and the animation was on the fine line of being called good but was very close to bad.

TL;DR Verison - Don't take this anime at all seriously. I have never, ever, wanted to scream of the top of my lungs, at an ensemble of fictional characters, making more stupid and idiotic decisions than goddamn Aqua from Konosuba. Which is why I kept coming back to this Domestic Girlfriend size dumpster fire of a show! It's stupid, fun, turn off your brain anime.
This is Domestic Girlfriend (PG-13 Edition!) That's all you need to know. 7 out of 10. Recommend.
Longer Review - The art is nothing to write home about. Its pretty, bright and colorful. The opening is kind of a between "a
...
bop it" to "a bop it once in a while." The voice acting to is pretty interesting. Which really helps to sell the characters. SPEAKING OF CHARACTERS! OH MY GOD! I HAVE NEVER WANT TO SCREAM OF THE TOP OF MY DAMN LUNGS AT THESE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!! Should you watch the haram anime Girlfriend Girlfriend? Absolutely! What should you expect from this anime? Yelling and rants on how dumb these characters are. A rant that will make Araragi, Koyomi from the Monogatari series drop his jaw.

TL;DR This rom-com centers around hardcord GAMERS!!! and the struggles GAMERS being in love. But in all seriousness this show is a love letter to all things gaming related. If you need deep in video game culture and want a rom-com with entraining charcter and reference humor this is the show for you.
First we need to talk about the title. With a title like that you would think its about gamers right? Well, its more like Horimiya but with people who play video games. I can recommend you this show but all the reason why is very subjective. I personally loved the comedy, and the
...
love tringle in this show but if you don't like stuff like that then you may not like this show. I enjoyed my time with this show and you may too if you give it a shot.

TL;DR Version
1. Literally half is a recap episode. Which would have been fine if the anime didn't already have a recap episode.
2. The other half of the episode is just sequel baiting.
A disappointing "ending" to a show with so much potential.
Clove Work made a phenomenal show that handle a very touchy subject among teenagers. And with the time they were give (which wasn't a lot) they somehow managed to make a gripping show for the most part. Until halfway. Halfway the show they ruined the foundation of the story which cause a domino effect throughout the entire show.
The show left reality to force
...
feed concepts that didn't fit in the show very well. The nail in the coffin is what they did to Neiru. Plot points from the last 3 episodes left unanswered which would have been okay if the show wasn't marketed as the "ending" to the anime.
I'm just disappointed. Disappointed that the show lost its potential, disappointed how the special was marketed. Disappointed how the story ended out,

TL;DR My expectations were low and yours should be too when your watching this. I don't see this show being appealing to anyone that's not a resident evil fan. I won't recommend this show. Just watch Vendetta which has way better action.
Let's get one thing straight. The story is cliché and cookie cutter. You can guess 90% of the entire plot just from the first 2 episodes (actually, if you past middle school the first opening can tell you a hefty the amount.) Bad guy has bio weapon, politics stuff and action.
The resident evil animes have also been 3D and compared to some well
...
known exceptions the 3D in this anime is very good. I believe and stand by the fact that the resident evil animes is pushing what people believe in 3D only animes but it's a shame that everything else is cliché. This anime lacks the action from Vendetta. The story SUCKS! And the music can be found in any other generic military/political media. Resident Evil 8 had a better soundtrack is that's saying something when a video game drops music in favor of ambient noise.
Studio Quebico from the animation of this anime has potential and if they were given a better story they could make a very good 3D anime.
