"The elusive samurai" is a story set in a feudal Japan in which some people have rare super-powers such as seeing the future or in the case of our MC, agility so good that not even a group of well-trained warriors can get close to touching him even in a pincer attack. We follow a young boy who after losing everything, is set on a campaign of vengeance and self-preservation.

The characters while poorly fleshed out and one-directional are mostly likeable (With huge exceptions like that weirdo who can see the future and is interested in practicing Japanese bondage for some reason, who tf thought of ...

"he Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord's Army Was a Human" is one of those animes that come every season with the typical overly
powerful protagonist without much of a personality except for being capable, humble and noble (so that the viewer may self-insert), where women seem to gravitate towards and fight for his attention but he's oblivious and every time someone makes an advance it is interrupted. A dumb relief character, fantasy elements (magic, demi-humans...), and one-dimensional villains can't be missed either.

The story is simple, we follow a human working for the demon lord (who is a young looking girl who seems to have ...

"BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense" is a lighthearted slice of life anime about two girl friends adventuring in a virtual reality world while learning about the game, making friends, winning championships, etc... I won't get into any important part of the story but I'll need to speak a little about the things that happen in this anime to explain why I disliked it.

The world is interesting and the characters are likeable and maybe even relatable... At first glace, it's just that at the same time those characters lack depth and don't go through any kind of development, ...

5 centimeters per second is a slice of life descriptive story that follows the story of two young lovers pitted against distance, with letters and text messages to fight it. The characters are immature and unlikable in many ways, but they're meant to be that way, in that sense they're relatable because we have all taken bad decisions or grown to feel regret after not having the maturity/intelligence to deal with some situation.

I have no complaints about the complexity of the story, with very romantic moments and a well developed setting, which is heightened by the cinematic visuals. Where the anime falls flat is in ...

This OVA is just a small set of recycled scenes from the original series, along with a few new ones where the first 1-2 minutes of the 1st episode are re-made in different scenarios (like everyone being an alien). It's boring and unoriginal, something to skip, but that's not where my very bad score came from:

For those who didn't notice, Sakamoto desu ga? Ends with indications of Sakamoto being sick and near death, it's easy to miss but there's a few dialogues indicating that he's been to the school nurse's office frequently or things that allude to him being constantly sick, also in the end ...

Season 2 is predicably underwhelming, continuing to grow the loli harem of the shield hero while giving us a mediocre story, something I found irritating yet funny is how the new loli not only acknowledges that she's one, but also the type of loli she is (loli hag, apparently that's what child-looking adults are called in anime, you learn something new everyday when watching pedo-bait animes!).
This season introduces a way for the adult-shaped loli to go back to her real form (a child) as well, this serves no purpose to the plot.

Some really bad plot devices continue to be present, like Naofumi being able ...

The Rising of the Shield Hero presents a very common trope: We follow Naofumi, who is unfairly and unreasonably hated by absolutely everyone, so he has to grow as an underdog filled with disadvantages in an environment where villains antagonize and try to weaken/demoralize him, including people who should be his comrades (in fighting videogame-like waves of enemies that appear every few weeks).

The story starts with a cliche and is incredibly predictable all the way through but seems to be fine in the first few episodes, and it continues to have strong points such as the weapon skill system, the hero's character development and travels, ...

This season continues the steep decline of the [initially] decent story.

The love story between Saito and Louise still has some remnants of that endearing dynamic between a really innocent and feisty adolescent and her loyal and caring companion who is also an adolescent but more mature, however this is ruined due to the constant barrage of sexual situations Saito finds himself in, where he either acts confused instead of stepping away or he directly cheats on her and then acts innocent... Which I kind of understand because Louise at this point has opened up about her feelings yet still refuses to be anything but ...

Solo leveling is a very generic anime, there's no original concepts or tropes and you'll be sick of it by the second episode, but I still gave it an 8, why? Because the pacing is very fast, there's enough of a barebones, lackluster story to keep you entertained but it's almost exclusively focused on the action, and that action is well-animated, dynamic and fun, top notch i'd say. The best parts come by the second half so I recommend giving it a chance even if you get bored in the first half.

This anime presents the typical shonen power fantasy: Humanity is constantly under siege, ...

Zero no tsukaima is one of those few animes that I would recommend to some people despite the low rating I gave it. It has a an interesting world, many likeable characters, a decently written main character, well-thought abilities, etc...

The anime makes it clear from the first moment that there will be a love story between the two main characters: Louise and Saito, and while Louise is abusive and cold she's so innocent that you root for her somewhat, even more when even she doesn't know why she acts the way she does and regrets the flaws she shows towards people she cares for. ...
