(Spoiler free review!)

Dorohedoro is basically what would happen if a demonic cult wrote The Bible and then made a manga adaptation of it because, sweet mother of Teresa, I've never seen so much blasphemy concentrated on 190 chapters. And I love it!

The story is about an amnesic crocodile-faced guy looking for the black magic user who made him look like that so he can recover his memories. All character are AWESOME and have immaculate drip, every single one of them has something to contribute to the plot. The fights are grotesque and brutal, the ground and the walls always end up covered in blood. The ... worldbuilding of Dorohedoro is intriguing and original; I've been watching anime and reading manga for 13 years and I've never seen anything like Dorohedoro's magic world, its messed up religion and its questionable festivals.

In conclusion, if everything mentioned before catches your attention, stop wasting your time and give Dorohedoro a try!

NON-SPOILER SUMMARY:
*********************
Bokurano is one of the few franchises of which I enjoyed both anime and manga. If I had to explain what Bokurano is, I'd say it's a mix between Evangelion and Madoka Magica.

REVIEW WITH SPOILERS AHEAD!
***************************

STORY: 9/10
The story is amazing. A bunch of 15-year-old teenagers are forced to pilot a robot they call Zearth to defeat misterious enemies (it has a similar beginning to Evangelion), but after each battle, the kid piloting the robot... dies. The story is crazy and I love it.

... ART: 8/10
No "waifu" material, no sexualized characters, no exaggerated haircuts, just... normal characters. Some of them may look identical but... they look real. The protagonists look like they could be our siblings or children. The art may not have Berserk-level of detail, but it certainly works well for the purpose of the manga.

CHARACTERS: 8/10
So much characters yet so much character development for each one, specially the ones that manage to stay alive through the end. Each pilot has a story to tell. Some of them are full of life and want to be something when they grow up. Some of them are broken and wouldn't have problems murdering people.

ENJOYMENT: 8/10
While some of Bokurano's stories were written better than other ones, I easily found myself immersed in the story.

OVERALL: 8/10
While both the anime and manga have a few plot holes, Bokurano is an enjoyable experience if you are looking for something that has Evangelion mecha battles and Madoka Magica's suspense.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is your classic 00's anime: good story, characters with spiky hair, cool music and overextended episodes with annoying filler.

STORY and ENJOYMENT: 7/10
**********
It's the first time I've watched a story about Egyptian mithology mixed with trading card games, and even though it has some big errors (such as almost no character respecting Duel Monsters's rules), I've enjoyed it to the fullest. Well, except for the filler arcs, which are all boring and provide nothing interesting to the series. Also why are so many flashbacks bro, you have to see almost 2 per chapter...

ART: 6/10
********
While the art is usually good, there are some chapters in which the characters look poorly drawn or even deformed.

SOUND: 8/10
***********
The OST is fascinating. But it can't be called a masterpiece, because most of the "epic orchestrated songs" that play when something crazy is about to happen last for 45 seconds and then loop, which makes these songs very repetitive.

CHARACTER: 2/10
*************
I hate every single one of them except Kaiba. Yugi is a horrible person that calls his best friend, Katsuya, by his surname, something that doesn't do with the rest of his other friends who, by the way, don't contribute almost in any way to the plot. Katsuya is an obsessed gambler addict that needs more medical attention than his sister. Pegasus's (the first villain) way of speaking gets me on my nerves...

And then we have Seto Kaiba. The Bruce Wayne of anime. He is the best character because, unlike the rest of them, he doesn't want his Duels with other people to be constantly interrupted by characters explaining their 2-episode flashback backstories.

OVERALL: 7/10
************
This anime is good, but you should definitely avoid filler arcs. It also will make you want to play the real card game, which I personally recommend to all of you to play it. I give this anime 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragon out of 3.

INTRO
This is the worst anime I have ever watched in my entire life. In my opinion, Isekai Wa Smartphone doesn't deserve a full-detailed review, so I'll be brief.

STORY - 1
Boring. If there was a machine that could create Isekai stories, animes like this and Kenja no Mago would be the default product. The only exceptional thing about Isekai Wa Smartphone is that the main dude has a smartphone. I don't know how can someone make a story boring with this idea, but this anime achieves that.

ART - 3
Generic and forgettable. The main character looks like a downgraded version of Kirito. Sometimes, I even confuse him ... with other generic-faced protagonists that look exactly like him.

CHARACTER - 1
New waifu joins the party -> The main character does anything -> The waifu falls in love with him. That's it for the protagonist's party. I think there are also adults, but they didn't have anything that made them recognizable so I eventually forgot about them.

ENJOYMENT - 1
None. Honestly, it feels as if the creators didn't even try when making this anime.

OVERALL - 1
Don't waste your time. If you enjoy isekais, watch anything else.

BLEACH: Can't Fear Your Own World is an interesting three-novel story that every die-hard fan should read.


WHAT I LIKED:

-The books introduce new concepts and characters, and develops those that were never really explored, such as the Noble Houses, the Tsunayashiro Clan and even Shikai / Bankai never seen in the manga / anime before.

-There are some cool character illustrations drawn by Tite Kubo that make the novels easier to read.

-The way the story tells you about Shuhei Hisagi, the main character, is original and hits different from any other story from the Bleach franchise. I personally think that the storytelling of the books fits Shuhei ... a lot, considering that he and Ichigo have a lot of differences.


WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:

-A lot of the vocabulary, concepts and similar stuff from the manga that the fans are familiar with are explained over and over. Because of this, some fragments from the books are more tedious to read.

-The books are only available in English and Japanese, which makes reading them harder for non-English and non-Japanese speakers...


CONCLUSION:

-If you love Bleach, the Can't Fear Your Own World novels are a must-read. You should give these books a chance even if reading light novels is not your thing.
