Finally, this is over.
I started watching this because I enjoyed the plot, the beautiful animation and music... and (I thought) that it was not afraid to show the cruel nature of life, the complicated politics and moral issues, how violence and hate create an endless cycle but...
I feel like a bad development of characters ruined everything. Every time I hear/see someone mentioning that Isayame created empowered female characters I want to laugh hard. Really? Come on, Ymir is the ultimate example of a toxic relationship and Stockholm syndrome that Isayama decided to call love.
The annoyingly obsession of Mikasa is also mind-boggling but I was
...
willing to close my eyes to that because I thought it was one-sided and then, Isayama decided to ruin the protagonist by giving the most nonsense explanation for everything which was something like "I got crazy and confused with the power I was given and became a mass murderer"...80% of people were killed for nothing but Eren decided to cry for 15 seconds about the possibility of Mikasa falling in love with another man.
Please Isayama don't try to write something romantic again. It's not your thing. I was not watching expecting some sick and twisted love story. I was just expecting a cruel fight for humanity's survival with loss, political tension, setbacks, and probably some tragic ending with more deaths and not some characters surviving for no reason.
The protagonist... I expected him at least to believe he was right until the end even if he wasn't because that's reality... sometimes people die fighting for the wrong causes. Maybe he could feel regret for killing so many people but crying over a girl in his final moments was so out of character and unbelievable.
Seeing Eren character ruined was the cringest moment for me.
The cherry on top was Armin thanking Eren for killing so many people and talking about the eternal bond of friendship.
The show's conclusion leaves so many unanswered questions and loose ends that I guess it's up to us to imagine the answers and also imagine what could have been a more appropriate ending to this show that I loved so much, but this ending was really disappointing.

I am speechless...
While I was watching, all I could think was: "Is this real? Who approved this? Who thought it was good enough to show to others? What is happening?" and most important: "Why I am watching this?"
There is no story, the characters... well, there is mentioning of names but nothing else about them, there are d*cks everywhere and characters' attacks using their d*cks because... I can't really understand why, but they are always losing their pants.
Honestly, I couldn't focus on art or sound because well, you can imagine the reasons by reading the previous paragraph. But obviously, I am not rewatching this because
...
I am pretty sure it's nothing remarkable and it cannot save the lack of story and enjoyment.

Story
I was excited with the synopsis but the story itself turnout to be very disappointing. Not because of the pacing but mainly the characters choices or actions throughout the show. I was expecting something different. Less teen drama and more focused on the government actions and consequences, mainly for characters like Nisaka.
The ending was not satisfying but I kind of expected it because Nejima is a horrible character.
Art
The art style fits the story, I guess. Even though, I must admit I find it so much interesting than the plot itself. The characters designs are cute and in some moments really well-made, mainly on
...
the emotional scenes. However, I would have preferred less fanservice regarding women’s chest size (Misaki). I get it the girls are beautiful, the boobs do not need to get any bigger on each episode.
Sound
Characters voice actors were, as usual, really good at conveying the mood and emotions. The soundtrack in general fitted every scene but nothing extraordinary. I did downloaded the opening because I really enjoyed the music. It’s catchy and I did not know at the time, but it gives you the vibe of this show. What I mean is, I was expecting something more serious and complex but in reality I guess it was focused on lame characters.
Characters
Oh the characters. Where should I begin? Yeah, the main one – Nejima Yukari one of those infuriating characters that are dense as f… and because of it, everyone arounds them suffers. Although, I must admit it’s not entirely his fault that some things happened but who I am kidding? This is one of no good for nothing character that somehow is loved by several different characters.
He is in love with Misaki Takazaki but his assigned wife decided by the government is Lilina Sanada. However, he decides with Lilina support to keep pursuing his first love. He knows there will be consequences and also is aware that he is being unfair to Lilina even if she is also messed up. Others describe Nejima as a good person but in reality I just think is being naïve, unfaithful, dense beyond what can be acceptable and selfish.
Misaki Takazaki is not naïve or dense and she should be aware how terrible person she really is. Pretending or even believing she is a good friend to Lilina and at the same time, teasing, kissing and confessing her love to Nejima. Even if Lili said it was okay and it was supporting them because of their true love, I don’t care. It’s wrong. Even worse when she knows Nejima and Lilina might have being developing feelings for each other. She keeps that to herself.
To some extent I can empathize with her. I can even feel sorry for her but I cannot accept her actions. I know being a teenager and all, we are more prone to make bad decisions but still…
Then, there is Lilina Sanada who is completely messed up. I can’t understand what is going on in her head. I know she is not comfortable with the assigned husband thing or people in general but that cannot justify everything. I want to feel sorry for her but at the same time, I hate how they built her personality.
My favourite character and the one who I truly feel sorry is Nisaka Yusuke. Okay, his love interest is not fascinating at all but love is not rational. However, Nisaka is truly caring and unselfish. Nisaka knows if he followed his heart alone without thinking about the repercussions it would not only affect him but also the one he loves. Therefore, he is hiding is own feelings and also remembering other characters what will happen if they do not follow the government orders.
For him is even worse because the idea of a perfect matching in order to improve a low birth rate in the country basically ignores the existence of people that might be homosexual. So, in my opinion, this perspective if more interesting than that BS that’s going on between Nejima, Misaki and Lilina.
Enjoyment
In each episode, I would read the comments section and conclude that there were things different from the manga. Nothing new but I guess they did mess up the ending so I am thinking about reading the manga.
The characters behaviours in general ruined this for me. That and the annoying fanservice, which would not be necessary if they focused for example on others characters (mainly some from the government). Maybe there will be a second season but I am not even sure if I will watch it.
I will definitely not re-watch this or even recommend to anyone. It’s not terrible but they could have done so much better than this, which will make me forget about this pretty quickly.

Story
Each episode tells a different story. For me in that aspect is interesting because I never knew what to expect. The stories were not complex or very long because the episodes are in average 3-4 minutes long but they are in no way confusing or predictable. Also, even though the episodes are really short, I never got the feeling that anything was rushed. It was fairly entertaining.
Art
The art is not the usual one so I guess plenty of people just drop out the show because of it.
However, since every episode was different I was always expecting to see something that surprised me.
I
...
also think the director was trying to achieve the supernatural and horror mood of these stories, and that can explain the animation.
I think if fit every story perfectly. So no complaints about that.
Sound
Characters voice actors were, as usual, really good at conveying the mood and emotions. Nothing bad to say about that. And the soundtracks were not impressive enough to make me look for them later but they suited every scene.
Characters
Since every episode had a different story and characters, it is not easy to focus on one specifically. I did not have the time to explore their personalities or development. Let me remember, once again, that each episode had 3-4 minutes, so even though things were not rushed, I can’t say much regarding the characters.
Enjoyment
You either like or hate it, that is how I see it. There is no middle ground here. Some people just hate the art style or the fact that they are short episodes, but I also like to see something different from what I usually watch. If you also fancy a change now and then, this anime is for you.
I don’t think I would rewatch it but I would recommend to some people who are not turned off by this type of show.
Overall, I can I enjoyed it.

Story
The synopsis alone gave me an idea that made me think about Elfen Lied. You know the Government hiding and making experiences in humans with special abilities. However, I knew this one would be much lighter than Elfen Lied was.
The story is not overly simpleminded but I didn’t enjoy the slow pacing of some episodes who were in my opinion, boring or annoying because of Sana’s childish behaviour.
Also, I am not happy with how it ended because I think there were plenty of unresolved questions.
Art
The visuals were quite cute and good. Not something too memorable but still helped to keep my interested in watching
...
this series. The characters design were also good, not perfect because I think they were in some cases just too similar to each other.
Sound
I am not going to look for the OST. It wasn’t a bad but nothing memorable. The voice actors did a pretty good job. I always admire their job even if the series is not that extraordinary.
Character
I am not mentioning all characters because just some of them caught my attention.
My favourite is Zouroku for a very simple reason: he is not the typical character that sees abnormal things happening around him and just ignores. He was genuine reactions and every time he scolded Sana or any other character I was totally supporting him.
Now, regarding the main character, Sana… I tried really hard to like her but there were some episodes that really ticked me off. I know she is a child and everything is new but in my humble opinion, they (the studio, whoever wrote this) took it too far. There were various moments when I was seriously considering dropping the show just because I couldn’t stand Sana’s attitude or behaviour.
I would like to see more of Ichijo but I guess, besides Zouroku, other characters didn’t really have a chance to show much.
Enjoyment
This anime has some heart-warming moments, some good action scenes and funny ones but nothing that I will remember in the future. Since everything was rather predictable I am not even going to bother to read the manga or recommend it to anyone.

The question you have to ask yourself before watching this show is: do I want to see hentai? If the answer is yes, go for it. Each episode has about 3 minutes of no plot, porn, some nonsense, and dubious circumstances (and consent).
I guess some people started to watch this because the guy looks like the one from One Punch Man but don’t get mistaken... this is pretty much porn and that’s it.
Story - Non-existant
Art - Looked cute until the porn started
Sound - I can't forget the sounds
Character - No development, just porn
Enjoyment - I am not a hentai fan, so... no enjoyment
Overall -
...
I wasted my time

I can’t even believe I forced myself to see the entire show just because I hate do drop shows. I always believe in giving it a chance but this… oh man, what a waste of my time.
I knew from the beginning that this was just another anime embracing the gaming idea that seems too popular nowadays. However, I believed I would see characters development or anything besides the annoying fanservice.
Instead, I get a story of a useless character Nishimura (Rusian) and his mentally ill girlfriend Ako with some other characters that were not really needed to this… lack of plot.
So, let’s talk about Ako,
...
one of the most dreadful characters I have ever seen. She cannot distinguish reality from the game they all play. That would be just “great” for itself but there is more. Ako thinks that she is really married to Rusian and she is so crazy and dense that cannot even comprehend a confession in the real world. She would rather live as a housewife, doing absolutely nothing with her life but playing games and pleasing her husband. There so many things wrong with her that no one in their right mind would fall in love with her. Someone normal would call for help because she needs treatment.
I know this is not real, it’s just an anime but sometimes anime give us messages or lessons about ourselves or the world around us. From this anime, no one can learn anything. There is nothing here but a group of teenagers with problems that are not solved. But hell, there is fanservice so let’s watch. Let’s never forget that all gaming girls are hot and want to put their breasts on your face. Yeah, that’s a lesson. Another one would be, as long as you are gaming, there is no need for a real life or studying. Life if good, let’s just aim to be the perfect housewives and that’s it.
The animation was fine but wasted on an anime like this. I will never watch this again and I will never recommend this to anyone.

I had really good expectations on this one. I already saw the previous season. However, seeing as this is something that is not the continuation, but rather another story that fits between Rin’s real identity revealed to his friends, was somewhat more disappointing that what I anticipated.
Story - 7
The story had a good pace and even the flashbacks did not feel rushed or confusing, but something that filled some other gaps, mainly about how Shirou and Tatsuma meet each other.
Could it be done better? Maybe if the inner monologs and demons of some characters were not so annoying. But I will get to that
...
in a second.
Art - 7
The animation seemed even better this season, so I am not complaining about anything regarding this aspect.
Sound - 7
The background music was suitable for every scene, mainly in the fighting scenes. The voice actors as always had a very good performance. I watch the subbed version because, in my opinion, they are most of the time the most capable in delivering outstanding performances.
Character - 4
The characters… really I cannot talk about all of them because it would be a very long text about how angry I was in some episodes. The most annoying of them all is Konekomaru. I get it, Rin is Satan’s son, the being responsible for the death of Konekomaru’s family and a bunch of other people, but Konekomaru and others took this too far. Rin did not choose Satan as his father, yet everyone is treating him like he is a horrible person.
Shiemi is a hypocrite and a completely messed up character. Avoiding Rin like the plague and then talking about being friends forever. I don’t think I will ever understand her.
And about that Suguro? I usually love him and most of the time. This thing of hiding his real reasons for being mad for too many episodes… at least, he got to be really useful and badass later, so I forgive him for that.
Then there is Yukio, who deserves my special hate. Seriously, almost every scene with him made me want to give up on this. In some moments, he was even worse than Rin’s friends and he is his brother for God sake!
Enjoyment - 4
Even if overall I did enjoy this season, I don’t think I will re-watch this but I will probably watch the Ova coming soon. I hope is some sort of continuation of the original story.
It was a good story but the character’s issues with Rin being Satan’s son like it was his fault… ruined some episodes.

Story
I was expecting to have some fun with this and not by any means, was I expecting a great plot. However, the story was most of the times simple-minded and predictable. For example, there is always someone with a beach house and of course, the school festival or play is one of those clichés that apparently cannot be avoided.
The pacing was good, I guess, but the ending… seriously? Is that a way to tell us that there will be a second season? If that was the intention, please don’t use the final episode was a karaoke competition…
Art
The art style fits this anime with
...
beautiful sceneries and colors. I can at least say I enjoyed how the characters were portrayed. Something had to be good, right?
Sound
Not a memorable OST. It wasn’t bad but not something that I will look afterward to download. It was still fitting the different scenes of each episode.
Character
Yoshino was probably one of the characters that I will not forget because she was the one who surprised me. I thought she would be one of those sleepy, good for nothing characters that are only there to look dumb and cute but it turns out, she is definitely more interesting than it seems. I laughed in a lot of the scenes that included her and Masamune or even Masamune alone when he was having some weird monologs and wild imagination that made me laugh.
Still, Adagaki even with her reasons to be the way she is, I cannot sympathize with her. She takes things to far and I even find Fujinomiya more interesting than her.
Enjoyment
I am not re-watching this in the future, I would only recommend this if that person enjoys some comedy and predictable romance with no expectations of something actually happening.
If that’s your thing, go for it.
