I feel obligated to submit a review for this season's finale. This is how I've felt for a long time after seeing Mugen Train.
Perhaps the only anime that puts ensembles into non-musical glasses is Hibike Euphonium.

Thank you KyoAnimation for this wonderful work. They portrayed the interactions between the students as humanly as possible - flaws, inferiority, jealously, cooperation, hardwork, victory.

The way the teenagers interacted with each other facing the inevitable situations in real life is something I sincerely admire; they are incredibly mature. The choice of words they used in the moment of anger is truly praiseworthy.
The musicals are fantastic; they captured the ...

Summer Wars (Anime) add
For a person who has enjoyed Japanese works for many years (video games, manga, animation, and at least light novels), Summer Wars surely is the archetypal work of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Of hope, family, embitterment, never giving up, miracles, and triumphs in the end. Well, life is about hope and trying or giving our best; otherwise, there wouldn't be any steps for progress forward.

This game reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy XVI. When all seems lost, there's still hope.

Art: 6-7/10 The art was great in the year it was produced.
Characters: 6-7/10 Typical Japanese characters.
Plot: 9/10 I like it when all hopes are ...

Preliminary (22/33 chp)
Les Misérables is a good classical read rich with life's hard lessons.

This omnibus version is wonderfully drawn. The story is 10/10 to me, without much introductory need; it is derived from one of the best musicals of all time. Again, of all times.

Art: 6-7/10
It matches the vibes and settings of the story at those times.
Nothing spectacular, but it's above average for me.

Story: 10/10
Without any music, the story still able to power through from the original and captures me a lot. We can learn plenty from here if our hearts are ready for it.

You can hardly find anything you hate about this manga because you will learn to forgive any imperfection that is in this workpiece.

This JOSEI Manga ls 10/10
The theme of this manga is: family, brotherhood, marriage between husband and wife, and kindness.
Love is a healing balm when we choose to extend it to others while also receiving it for ourselves.

It taught me that it all comes down to an individual's choice to do good and love regardless of one's circumstances and background: being poor and past mistreatment are not obstacles or hurdles to doing good and carving a great future ahead.
Allow yourself to be ...

Shikioriori (Anime) add
Shikioriori 8/10 but uniquely enough for me to write a review for the kind you to give it a try
This movie's theme is: REGRET
I know we humans are bitterly imperfect, but please give your best. I plead with you to do it every time.

This movie's storytelling is different from the usual. 3 individuals with their own monogatari (story).
Each has made a mistake by not trying their best in their own respective way.
1/ Not trying to confront his own feelings and always choosing to watch from sideways
2/ Misplacing her priority between work and family. A major setback e is part of life, stay strong.
3/ Acting based ...

Cat Street (Manga) add
Cat Street. Short and almost perfect Shoujo manga.

The Cat Street is the only 5/5 Shoujo manga i rated out of the 20–25 Shoujo mangas I have read from MAL suggested lists, Youtube recommendations, and random Mangakatana comments.

Story:
If you prefer minimal love polygon and dramas This may be the best option for you.
This story revolves on Keito who collapsed after a major setback in her life.
A tale about how healing can begin and how to taking things one step at a time and it's fine to make a few minor steps back but importantly you're moving forward.
The story of a warrior of her ...

Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty is totally different shojo manga I've read.
This is the only Shojo manga I've rated almost perfect score 9/10. Because no matter how good the previous shojo mangas I've read, comparing them in general to all the mangas i have enjoyed, they should be about 8/10 max.
If you're looking for the usual shojo fix you have been enjoying, this may not be the right one for you or you're hoping for.

Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty doesn't thread the usual shojo manga route (love triangle, cliche bully, disrespectful behaviour coming from the male mc, excessive comedy).
This manga is heavily focused on family-orientated pace ...

Majo to Yajuu (Manga) add
Preliminary (55/58 chp)
If the animation done right, 90% animes out there don't even hold a candle to this master piece.
An elegant, fantasy-action work.

Majo to Yajuu or The Witches and the Beast is the Epitome of witch story which one can indulge in. To be exact, I read a variety of manga genres; but narrowing down to fantasy/magic/witch theme which the current time has to offer, such as: "Witch Hat Atelier" and "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" This one is S-tier list in term of fantasy. I admit each has its own unique way to serve the dish which what makes Frieren and Atelier altogether good read, but ...

Tokidoki (Manga) add
I came to give this review because as a grown-up person, I cried reading this one-shot for the second time again.

Just as "Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan" is the perfect epitome of 'Forgiveness' theme.
Tokidoki is the perfect display of what "Charity" is. One can debate what he did was for his own sake. However, he did really mentioned to her he wanted to cheer her on with all his heart.
I can't find another best anime rivaling to this: a person who knows so little about the other (a stranger) to be able to give this much.
Tokidoki is again the best portrayal of ...

Forgiveness is the theme of this manga, and it is not sugar-coated yet beautifully executed. I can't find any other manga could touch on this heavy theme beautifully.

This is a story of forgiveness and what it could lead to. The female main character indeed leads a happier life by choosing to apply this virtue in her life which she couldn't earlier. Is this unrealistic? At least for me, it's not; forgiving someone actually takes away our burdens, while the other person who refuses to ask for our forgiveness is the one who is holding the burden.

Besides that, this manga hits on me because ...
