To be honest, coming off the high of Season 1, I was super hyped. Like, “Let’s go Shadow-sama, show us the chaos!” kind of hyped. But yeah... Season 2 felt kinda different. Not bad, but different. A little slower, a little more... confusing? I’m still not 100% sure what direction the story was trying to take in the first 8-9 episodes. There were a lot of scenes where I was like, “Wait, am I missing something?” or “Who’s this guy again?”

But I stuck with it — and honestly, I’m glad I did.

Because from Episode 10 onward? Man, it picks up. Like, proper Shadow Garden chaos, ...

When I was a kid, I used to swing a stick around pretending it was a sword, imagining I had some hidden power sealed inside me, waiting for the right moment to awaken. That childish fantasy, that little delusion we carry of being something more than just ordinary—it kinda stuck with me even as I grew up. The Eminence in Shadow felt like it reached into that exact corner of my heart, dusted it off, and said, “Here you go, this one’s for you.”

Cid Kagenou, the protagonist, isn’t your usual “I’m the chosen hero” guy. He’s weird in the best way possible. This dude trained ...

Whenever I finish an anime like Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii, I get that weird mix of satisfaction and sadness. It’s like… how many more beautiful stories like this are still out there waiting for me? And will I really have the time to watch them all in this lifetime? This one hit me right in that soft spot—the kind that makes you sit in silence for a few seconds after the last episode ends.

I genuinely loved this anime. It’s such a warm, light-hearted, and emotional ride that sneaks up on you. At first, I thought it was going to be another run-of-the-mill romcom with ...

After finishing Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san, I just sat there for a moment, staring at the screen, not fully ready to leave that world behind. This anime wasn’t just entertaining—it felt personal. I went into it expecting a typical fantasy setup, maybe a few laughs, some light action… but what I got was something way more meaningful. The story slowly wraps around you, not with epic battles or crazy twists, but with warmth, quiet emotions, and characters that genuinely feel alive. It’s one of those rare shows that doesn’t scream for your attention, but instead whispers gently and leaves a lasting impression.

Let me start with ...

When I first stumbled upon the trailer for this anime - I'm Getting Married to the Girl I Hate in My Class, I was kind of hyped, not gonna lie. The premise looked like the perfect setup for some spicy tsundere romance, forced proximity, maybe even a bit of that "enemies to lovers" magic. And to be fair, I was totally down for that. I thought it might give off the same feelings I had when I first watched Tsuki ga Kirei or Nisekoi—turns out, it tried to be Nisekoi's cousin, but ended up feeling more like a weaker imitation.

The show starts off strong with ...

I wanted to like this. I really did. I went in thinking it’d be another quirky rom-com with decent banter and maybe a cute moment or two. But Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms? Yeah… it ended up being just another filler anime I’ll forget I even watched.

The title basically spoils the entire plot. Mona tries everything under the sun to make Medaka fall for her, and Medaka—bless his emotionally constipated soul—just… doesn’t. That’s it. That’s the show. For 12 straight episodes.

At first, Mona’s antics were kinda amusing. She’s all beauty, no chill. But the gag gets old fast. Every episode is a remix ...

When the trailer for Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister dropped, I don’t know why, but I instantly felt this odd mix of curiosity and excitement. I thought, okay, here comes another harem anime where the guy stumbles into a house full of beautiful girls and somehow they all fall for him—typical stuff, right? But wow, I was wrong in the best way.

The story really surprised me. It isn't just about romance or girls fighting over a guy. There’s a layer of science-fiction-ish stuff going on—parallel timelines, déjà vu, alternate paths—and it’s done in such an accessible, light way that it never feels overwhelming. ...

Sometimes, you watch an anime for the epic fight scenes, sometimes for the laughs, sometimes just for a good ol’ romantic fluff. But then, there are times when you want something that just… feels warm. Something that quietly reminds you what it feels like to be loved—or to love someone, maybe for the first time. Konyaku Haki sareta Reijou wo Hirotta Ore ga, Ikenai Koto wo Oshiekomu (yeah, that ridiculously long title) hits that soft spot, gently.

I honestly went in with zero expectations. The title had me thinking it’d be another spicy, fanservice-heavy series trying to look deep. But surprisingly, it’s not like that at ...

After the way Season 1 ended, I was beyond excited to see where the story would go next. Mashle: Shinkakusha Kouho Senbatsu Shiken-hen picks up right where it left off, and things escalate quickly. Mash is still pushing forward toward his goal, but this time, he faces a far greater threat than just becoming a Divine Visionary—the sinister organization Innocent Zero. These guys aren’t just strong; they’re insanely overpowered and terrifyingly smart, forcing Mash to rely on not just his brute strength but also his wits to survive. And damn, did he deliver. Just when you think he’s backed into a corner, he counters in ...

We all grow up from children to adults—it’s a natural and beautiful journey. But in between, there’s that chaotic teenage phase where we start to understand the world in ways we never did before. It’s messy, confusing, awkward, and often embarrassing. Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. captures that transition in a way that feels incredibly real. It’s about love, crushes, heartbreak, guilt, curiosity, and all the feelings we struggle to put into words at that age.

The story revolves around five girls from a literature club, each with their own personalities and experiences. Nina is effortlessly charming and confident, Kazusa is a bit childish but has ...
