Bakuten!! (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Bakuten is a sports anime about a less explored artistic sports which is rythm gymnastics. The concept itself is very fascinating as gymnastics itself is a very endearing and beautiful athletic sport. I was expecting a deeper voyage about it just like Yuri on ice. The first episode was really catchy leaving you wondering how a our MC Futaba, who never did gymnastics before would try to make it into the sport and become great in it.

Before telling the most obvious issues with the show let me first talk about the positives which is the VA is pretty good, which is no surprise seeing the ...

Soul Eater (Anime) add
I have to brag about how hilarious this show is, with moments literally making you go “wtf”. I really appreciate some good comedy, making me genuinely chuckle, which is a breath of fresh air from the usual lame virgin jokes in some of the recent anime I watched.
Plot:
Frankly, first half of the series was lit, it was a solid 8/10 for me. Second half there was a serious drop in quality. In spite of Excalibur making an appearance time to time, the show started taking itself seriously. It was a mess but somehow enjoyable. Nobody dies and there’s a power of friendship bigger than Deus ...

Dr. Stone (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
I'm ten billion percent sure Dr. Stone should've been able to achieve a lot more, for the exhilarating premise it had. Sadly, all the suspense, intrigue and tension erodes within the next 2-3 episodes and then remains as a stagnant shallow pond to the end.
One aspect that was compelling is obviously Science. It was interesting learning about how different inventions came to be from primitive resources and learning that was the most enjoyable part of the show.
But, that isn't enough to make a great story.
There was something missing. One couldn't tell if it was trying to be serious or lax. Everything is facts and logic ...

Gakuen Babysitters is really cute for what it is. It's about babies. I’m not a baby person per se but babies are cute, and that’s the only cute thing about the whole show. Rest of the characters are as archetypical as they can get. The story thrives on cliché after cliché. In a nutshell the main focus of the show is sibling love between Kotaro and Ryuichiro. Of course such a setup always has potential if one wants to work with it. This is a slice of life theme that will never get boring. You know, babies grow up, they mature, brothers can drift apart, ...

Monster (Anime) add
MINOR SPOILERS BELOW

I understand why most people are underwhelmed by the ending. What I understood during the course of the show was that, Monster is more about the journey, the character growth and connections they make than an extravagant finale. The show gives various opportunities for viewers to relate and retrospect on human philosophies and dilemmas, which was compelling.
Since the character development outweighs the final resolve, I couldn’t subtract my points. It’s still a great anime. I agree that I felt let down with the ending and the rationale explaining it from a logical perspective but the buildup was fantastic.
I don’t find any plausible ...

Made in Abyss (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Spoilers below!

Also fair warning, I will be commenting on the pedophilic undertones in the anime so if you’re already against that discussion, feel free to avoid my review..

A lot of people, although maybe minority have already addressed their observations regarding this issue in Made in Abyss.

So over to the anime, It was just decent. I’d rate it anywhere between 6.5/7. I would have rated it higher if it wasn’t for the subtle disturbing sexual innuendos forced on 12 year old kids.

The animation visuals were undeniably breathtaking. The aesthetics of world building of the mysterious city of Orth, circumventing around a bewildering, mysterious pit, the Abyss ...

Yeah, It's pretty bad. I didn't want to trust the atomic scores for this season. In fact, up till episode 5-6 I was convinced that people were being too harsh on this franchise. But. boy I flipped the table on episode 11. Damn right it's bad. Me, who vehemently believed TPN S2 doesn't deserve a score below 6.5-7, humbly give a 4.
This might have been the worst downgrade , nah call it injustice - I've ever seen done to an anime. Everything that made the first season so good - the suspense, tension, high stakes, horror elements, all of it, ALL OF IT, amounted to ...

I don’t know if my review will see the light, with everyone seeming to give a high rating, but here it is. Combined review of seasons 1, 2 and 3.

First of all, I’m really glad I didn’t drop the series. Ngl, the first season was sleep inducing compared to the other two. But, trust me, just stick around, stick around to the end, bear it because season 2 and 3 are way better. In the first season the humor was lanky, characters constantly do stupid things, and the world building wasn’t good enough, sub plots was boringly executed, inconsistent/ ooc character actions, umm and ...

SK∞ (Anime) add
Man, I was really rooting for this series. The concept of skating as a premise was new and interesting. It was engaging in the beginning but half way through the series, it felt as if the creators were running out of imagination and was making a mess out of the plot elements. The ending was a huge letdown.
Even though I fairly enjoyed the anime, I still can’t give it a high score because truth be told it’s relatively very average. Let me tell you they could have run with far more interesting scenarios than making the plot revolve around a knockoff brand of Hisoka. It ...

Everything about this show screams mediocrity. It's not very dreadful but it's not very good either. 6/10 is the best rating I could afford.
It's a detective, crime centered story where you have two main leads that have contrasting personality and values. This supposedly core theme didn't matter that much for the show anyway.
There were just too many plot holes and narrative defects that makes this plot impossible to rise above mediocrity.
Although Kato's and Daisuke's relationship dynamics was supposed to be the driving force, it wasn't interesting at all. Both of them pretty much remains the same with no character development.
I understand how ...
