Majo no Tabitabi follows Elaina, a young witch prodigy, who travels around their world, assuming an observer, non-interfering position. Along the way, she meets lots of unique people that influence her one way or another.

Story (8/10)
Majo no tabitabi is episodic in nature. Each episode tells a different tale of Elaina's adventure. As far as this season is concerned, there is no overarching scheme tying all the episodes together. The only thing that brings them together is Elaina herself, and the influence those encounters had on her. The story is light-hearted at times, dark at others, and has a hint of realism at some points. Not ... everything is stated outright, and some things are left up for the viewer's inference.

Art (10/10)
The best thing I liked about the anime's art is how different the architecture of each place was. The animation is neat and beautiful and flows together well especially during the scenes where magic is being used. The characters are well designed and easily differentiated.

Character (8/10)
Elaina's character is the most prominent. As she travels, she comes across multiple situations, some sad, some happy, and others cruel. She always takes an observer stance and does not have a god complex where she thinks that she can wield her power and save every person in need. Personally, that makes her more relatable and doesn't grate on my nerves. Elaina is cynical, money-loving, vain, powerful, intelligent and most certainly not perfect.

Other recurring characters like Saya, Fran, and Sheila are fun to watch and easy to love.

Overall, I enjoyed watching this anime even though I didn't like it at first. It had a perfect balance of light heartedness, grimness, and realism to hook me in until the very end.

Peach boy riverside was a major flop for me. I came in expecting Mikoto as the main character, and was majorly annoyed when it turned out that he was a minor character. It is my fault for not reading the synopsis, but oh well.

Story (6/10)
I would've rated it much lower because of the seemingly haphazard order of episodes. I don't know what great work was being made, but it failed miserably in my point of view. The only reason I rated the story a 6 is because I watched the chronological order and it really did have potential. The story is set in a medieval ... world with demihumans, ogres, humans, and various other species all discriminated against by humans. Our main character, Sally, is on a journey, to find a compromise between the species and end the discrimination eventually.

The story had potential, but with Sally, a narcissistic, selfish, entitled, and entirely naive person as the main character, it became, at best, mediocre.

Art (7/10)
The art can really be appreciated. It is beautiful and the animation is nice although average.

Sound (7/10)
Mikoto's and Frau's VAs really conveyed their character's thoughts and emotions. I feel like Sally's was a little lacking and wasn't menacing enough at times.

Character (3/10)
That score is mostly due to Sally's shitty character. She had the most screen time, which is why even though other characters, especially Mikoto, were awesome, the score goes so low. As I said above, Sally's character is totally not relatable, and I spent every scene with her, annoyed at her actions. She also has zero character development and totally disregards ogre's killing humans, vainly asking everyone to ignore that fact for her vision of compromise. How her companions don't hate her for that situation alone is anyone's guess.

Mikoto's character, on the other hand, is amazing. I don't totally support his vision, but it is justifiable and we understand it alot more through his backstory. Sally's companions were also more tolerable than her, but how they tolerate HER is unknown to me.

Enjoyment (3/10)
Overall, I didn't enjoy this anime because of Sally's character and how little Mikoto shows up. The random order of the episodes also gave me a headache and I hated it as it didn't make any sense to me storywise.

Bofuri is a VMMO about a new player called Maple. Maple doesn't want to feel pain so she decides to max out her defense as stated in the title. I really enjoyed this series, and even though it falls into the OP MC genre, I was at the edge of my seat and worried for the characters multiple times. It isn't by far the most realistic of its genre, but it incorporates game elements like level grinding, stumbling into bosses by mistake, chat rooms, NPC quests, and world events which give it enough variation and realism that is needed for an anime series which is ... meant for enjoyment at the end of the day.

The pacing is fine for a slice of life story and they do speed up scenes of normal gameplay like level grinding and meaningless play between the characters, but I still felt like the animation itself, while neatly done, was a little slow and watched the whole series at a 1.5x speed, and this is the first time I've done this. The action scenes' animation even rivals animation done for action animes

Some people might argue that the series is too low IQ, which it is, and combined with the OP genre, might be too boring. It isn't. It is very enjoyable and has the right balance of cute, friendly, OP, and conflict that you don't feel like it became too repetitive. Bofuri doesn't overuse fan service and it isn't thrust outright into the viewer's face which makes it all the better for me.

The characters themselves are too friendly, but that can be disregarded as a minor problem. Our main character, although OP, is not entirely invincible or the first ranked in player strength or guild level. Her best friend, Sally, is much smarter, freakishly strong, but still has her weaknesses as shown in the series. There are generic guild memebers, but they don't get pushed too far into the background. No character is perfect which makes this series even nicer to watch.

Finally, the music is really nice and the VAs do a good job representing the characters.

Spoilers Ahead!!!

This second mha movie is much better than theh first one in my opinion, although it seems similar in setup, but everything about it is perfected more than the first film.

I will start off with the two points that detracted from the awesomness of this movie: the ending and the villian's character.

As much as the climax is nice and hype and much more engaging than the first movie's climax, you can easily see the parallels. The music, animations and action were all on point, but how everything is tied off after that is kind of disappointing. Midoriya's heartfelt moment with All Might after ... he thinks that he lost his quirk and how he tells him that he doesn't regret it is exactly how I imagined that scene going and much more, but then that all is thrown away by Deku still retaining his quirk just because bakugo lost consciosness during the transfer. That could've been fine too if Bakugou didn't magically forget the transfer and the whole two One for All. It's understandable that Deku would still have OFA so as not to mess up the canon storyline but they could've definitely dealt with the aftermath a little bit better.

The second negative was the Villian. He's as developed as shonen villians usually go, but we are used to better villians in the main story really. His lackeys were also pretty strong although lacking any unique characteristics. Nine felt like a rip off from AFO, and wasn't given enough characterization to really distinguish him from AFO. it makes sense though since this is how Horikishi was planning to end the main series. We also still don't know what his motive was for the creation of world where power rules. I also didn't understand what Shigaraki was doing during all of this, or what his goals were except to get rid off the completely weakened Nine.

On to the good points.

The whole Class 1A got the spotlight, and a few side characters were focused on unlike the first movie which focused on the side characters and show cased a few of the Class 1A students. I like the interactions between the students, and how they all complimented each other, how their powers were used, and how they were all given time, and were all useful. The main focus in this movie is on bakugou and deku, not on deku and All Might which is fine since I am a bakugo fan. I like how the students were all on their own without any instructors or pro-heroes. It showed their unity and raised the stakes alot more. The two kids the students protect were adorable and cute - especially Katsuma which looked like a mini-Deku.

The animation and art were great like any other mha anime. The music choice was right especially during the climax. The better part of the movie was action, but it was well-balanced with other planning and world/situation building scenes.

It was nice seeing the original ending the Horikishi planned on writing animated. The climax has a sense of finality that the writers of this movie didn't know how to deal with in my point of view, but overall the movie was very enjoyable, and I give it an overall score of 8.5/10

I really don't know how this got a high rating
I just watched the first two episodes and I was bored out of my mind
The whole first episode was presented in that same bland tone that I wanted to drop the series then and there.
For people who have the time and ability to endure the blandess of the first couple of episodes then they "might" see some improvement, but I can't; I fell asleep halfway through the second episode

The character design is not really unique, the background scenery is alright I guess, the animation is average, there are really long awkward silences that pop up ... a couple of times in one episode, and the sound effects are really what set the mood in a scene as the character expressions are non-existent

This could be the worst romance manga i read

The story is basically non-existent.
First, it jumps from one point to the next suddenly. At the beginning it is the main character, kirara, trying to become an idol when her manager pushes her into selling her body for fame where she meets Gin. Somehow, after that the story turns into how she falls for him and their tries to have sex.
Second, it has a lot of plot holes, the villains appear randomly and are not given depth at all. They just exist for the sake of the plot.

The characters are also bad. The main guy, ... Gin, is abusive, childish, possessive and so full of himself, he basically pushes himself on the main girl, kirara, until she gives in and

"might have spoilers"
when he wants her to quit the entertainment industry he goes as far as forcing the companies that offered her jobs to withdraw their offers and then putting kiss marks on her so she would be refused from a modelling job especially after he told her that he wants to marry her!!!
"end of spoilers".

Kirara, is a completely stupid girl with no courage to say no. At some points I felt like slapping her for her idiocy. I have no idea how someone would keep on working with a manager that forces you to have sex with a guy you do not like and take on jobs that you feel embarrassed with.

The only redeeming factor in this manga is the art, compared to Mayu Shinju's other mangas, the characters are drawn beautifully and the background however scarce when drawn it is really good

You really can read this manga if you want read almost porn or you are bored
