This series never disappoints.
With the fifth season of Danmachi, Bell is stronger than ever, but he doesn’t level up to Level 5, not because he can’t, but because Hestia realizes his rapid growth is drawing too much attention. However the main focus this season is the complex relationship between Bell, Syr, and the goddess Freya, leading to some major developments in Bell’s journey.
Without giving too much away, this season sees Bell learning how to be a proper gentleman for the ladies, joining another Familia, and even participating in a War Game involving multiple Familias. There’s a lot to unpack, but let’s just say that Danmachi
...
fans were definitely eating well this season. Fight scenes were amazing and well animated, even after the delay, and the story is as good as ever.
The music is solid. Like previous seasons, nothing particularly groundbreaking, but the soundtrack fits the series well. It’s the kind of music that might not stand out immediately but could bring back nostalgic memories in the future.
Overall: A great season in an already great series. I love it. If Danmachi ever fully wraps up, I’d definitely rewatch the entire thing.

This is a decently good anime.
At its core, it's a typical isekai, but what sets it apart is its heavy focus on the basics of marketing. Marketing isn't just about selling products and grabbing attention; it's about understanding your customers, figuring out how to reach them, managing the items within the system, identifying shifts in the system, and adapting to new trends.
Our protagonist is transported from another world with knowledge from his own, using it to improve the Demon King's rule and create a better society for demons and demihumans. He is given the position as one of the Big Four Generals, working closely with
...
Ulmandra, the red-haired demon woman, as well as the other two generals. Together, they tackle logistical and cultural challenges within the Demon King's army, using his modern understanding of economics and trade to solve issues that had disrupted their connections.
The anime introduces unique perspectives on transactions that you might never have considered in the real world. For example, cultural differences in gestures and behaviors can significantly impact business interactions.
A real-life example would be the contrast between Japanese and Hispanic customs about wearing shoes indoors. In Japan, removing your shoes before entering someone's home is a sign of respect, as it keeps the house clean. However, in some Hispanic cultures, where half of my roots come from, removing your shoes in a stranger’s home can be seen as disrespectful, as it implies you are making yourself too comfortable. This anime explores similar concepts in a fantasy setting, showing how cultural nuances can make or break a business transaction.
There’s a lot to learn from this anime, and while the story is decent, it’s nothing groundbreaking.
As for the music, the opening is alright but forgettable. The ending theme is a slight bop not something I'd put on repeat, but it might make the lower end of an anime playlist, especially for casual listening or workouts.
Overall: A good anime, but nothing spectacular. If you skip it, you’re not missing out on anything major, but if you watch it, you might learn a thing or two.

Tower of God Season 2, overall, was a big oof.
To start, the story itself is absolutely fantastic, and the opening and ending music for both parts are awesome. I'd definitely recommend this series to anyone just for the story. However, where the season fails the most is in its pacing. While the animation could use some improvement, it’s the pacing that stands out as the biggest issue.
After watching this season, I revisited some earlier chapters of the manhwa and noticed how much better the pacing was compared to the anime adaptation. It feels like the creators tried to cram too much into each episode. Blink
...
for even a second, and you might miss important details. This fast-paced approach undermines the storytelling and makes it harder to fully appreciate the narrative.
Despite these flaws, the story and music remain highlights of the season. That said, Season 2 desperately needs a redo to give the source material the justice it deserves. Of course we're probably not going to get one anytime soon, so hopefully they can at least fix season 3 in this case.

It was a good little romcom. I liked it a lot.
I’d say the title sums it up a bit of the story. Alya does in fact sometimes hide her feelings in Russian. It’s your classic love story, but among the two only one knows that both like each other. Our MC, Masachika, actually understands Russian but keeps it a secret from Alya. Alya has made a few flirty comments to Masachika in Russian, and if she knew he understood, she’d be super embarrassed. Naturally, as the series progresses, that list of comments gets longer and longer.
Then there's Masachika’s sister, who has a bit of a
...
brother complex, but she’s one of the funniest characters in the show. As someone with siblings, I found her antics and teasing relatable to an extent. One of the most relatable moments was when she hid under the bed just to grab her brother's leg and give him a good scare, ah yes classic sibling mischief! Honestly, she steals the spotlight in a lot of episodes.
The opening is great, and I love how they feature a different ending each time. One of them was actually a Hatsune Miku song, and when I first heard it, I was totally caught off guard. I was like, "Oh sh*t, they’re singing ‘World is Mine?!’" As a Miku fan, I really enjoyed that.
Overall, it’s a very good romcom. 8/10. I’d recommend it for the laughs and the solid romantic storyline.

The last episode made this arc great, though the other episodes were alright.
This arc is relatively short and even shorter in the manga. Essentially, the demon slayers are training to become as skilled as the Hashira and for the Hashira to unlock the mark in preparation for the final battle. When I read the manga, this arc felt more like a few chapters of training before diving straight into the final battle. Most of what the anime presented is filler. For instance, the two separate episodes featuring Uzui and Tokito were only two pages each in the manga, amounting to just 2-6 panels though there's
...
nothing wrong with that. The added character development strengthens the viewer's connection to the characters. Also from what I've heard, the creator had to end the series quickly around this time due to IRL stuff with family, which sped up the progression to the final battle. The anime's inclusion of backstory and character development adds in a bit of content to build a connection with the hashira a bit more.
Regarding the last episode, it truly stood out. I think I speak for every fan that they are ready for the final battle to begin and can't wait for the upcoming movies.
As for the opening and ending themes, they were nothing special to me. They weren't as great as the previous ones, in my opinion.
Overall, I give it a 7/10. It's a good setup for the final battle but ultimately it's just a build-up arc.

"That's why he's the goat. The goat!!" - Some meme I'm sure most of us have seen.
After just three episodes, I found myself running to the manga and got all caught up by episode four. There's something about Shonen Jump anime, and Kaiju No. 8 brings a unique twist to the story of military-like officers who specialize in killing Kaiju. Our main character, Kafka, has always dreamed of becoming one of these officers. Even though he's past his prime, the story follows his journey to rise to the top and join his childhood friend's side.
Unexpectedly, Kafka gains the ability to turn into a Kaiju.
...
Despite this, he remains determined to achieve his goal by relying on his own abilities as a human rather than using his Kaiju powers, except in absolute emergencies.
I really like this anime. It presents a compelling and unique story that stands out. The quote above reflects how I felt about season one, but we'll have to see how they animate the later seasons.
Music:The soundtrack features English artists, which was a pleasant surprise. Yungblud sings the opening, and One Republic sings the ending. That was crazy!
Overall: 9/10. I really like this anime, though there is one aspect that can be annoying at times the cliff ...."NOBODY GOT YOU THE WAY I DO!!"

I'm mixed on this.
One day, the gods were bored and decided to give humans abilities, wanting to play games with them. Each person receives a unique ability, such as immortality, teleportation, or super strength, to gain an advantage in the God's Games. The rules are simple: win 10 games, and you get a wish granted. Lose 3 games, and you can never play again. However, no human has ever won 10 games, and it's rare to even win 3 games. That is, until our main character (MC) comes along, winning 3 games in a row without a single loss.
From there, they introduce a fallen
...
god who desires to become a god again but also loves playing games. The goal throughout the series is clear: win the God's Games not for the wish but because the challenge and fun of the games are what make them worth playing.
My thoughts on the series: I like the vibrant colors used when they enter a game; it reminds me of the anime "No Game No Life," which I’m a fan of for its color palette. The animation is pretty standard, and the art style is decent though it seems they reuse some character designs with a minor edit. Like with one of the MC's rivals, but maybe that character will be revealed as a twin of the MC in season 2 or something. The games can be interesting, and I do like how sometimes it'll make me guess what the best way to win is. I like it when a anime can layout the details of everything and then make me, the viewer, take a guess on figuring out a way to win based on the available information. Though not all moments are like this, but a good amount is like that.
Music: The opening goes hard. I find it memorable. However, the ending theme isn't like that as much.
Overall: 7, maybe close to 7.5/10. It could use some improvements, but I can see the potential for a season 2.

Pretty good season overall.
If you're watching this season, I can already guess you're a fan of Konosuba. While this season isn't as funny as the previous ones, it still has plenty of funny and interesting moments. One of the most interesting additions is the introduction of the divine treasures. As someone who only watches the anime, I found that these items added a lot of depth to the story and provides opportunities for hilarious moments.
For example, one of the divine treasures can switch bodies, which actually comes into play this season. You can only imagine how Kazuma might get involved with this, but I'll
...
keep quiet and let you experience it for yourself. The most memorable moment, though, involves Dust, the blonde-haired guy—if you know, you know.
Additionally, the setting expands to the royal castle, introducing new characters and relationships that bring interesting developments within the gang.
Music: The ending theme is as chill as always, while the opening remains its usual chaotic fun. They maintain the same tone as in previous seasons.
Overall: 8.5/10 While the comedy alone makes this anime worth watching, the introduction of new plot points has piqued my interest, and I'm excited to see where they go with it.

This is just a filler episode that chronologically takes place in the middle of Steins;Gate 0 but is technically the last episode of the series. It's a light-hearted episode about Valentine's Day. You get to see some funny moments and see Faris get overworked for the first time. Watch it to see the characters be happy and enjoy Valentine's Day. However, since it fits chronologically within Steins;Gate 0, don't expect Okabe to be Kyoma. It's mainly about the interactions with all the other characters, providing more Steins;Gate content.
Overall: 9/10. Honestly, probably more like a 7, but since it's part of a great series, I rate
...
it higher.

As I finish my ongoing binge of the Steins;Gate series, I find myself here. I'm glad I watched this by release date rather than following a supposed chronological order found online. While I didn't end the Steins;Gate series with the best ending that is the original, I feel that going back to episode 24 of the original would have left me detached from Kurisu if I would've watched this before, as she isn't in this season as much. My recommendation is to watch it by release date. Now, on to the review.
Steins;Gate 0 isn't a masterpiece, but it's still pretty great. Since this is the
...
start of the bad timeline, it doesn't match the greatness of the original. At the start, we resume from Episode 23B. Okabe chose to live in a way that honored Kurisu's sacrifice, but it affected him deeply, leaving him as a depressed Okabe rather than Kyoma, while allowing the World War 3 future to progress.
I'm not going to lie, a lot of the first few episodes are build-up, introducing new characters and showing where existing characters currently stand. While much of it is good in its own way, the truly amazing episodes start about halfway through the series. The story picks up significantly at that point, gun violence, fights, heartfelt moments, and best of all, we get time travel shenanigans again. There are some odd points in the first half where important events are brushed aside in the next episode as if they didn't matter, but I can overlook that thanks to the strong second half. I can say I almost love it as much as the original because everything starts picking back up around that point with no time to sulk situations. I don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't watched this yet. And while the ending isn't as good as the original it's still a pretty good ending.
Opening and Ending: While the song from the original will always be a bop I love the opening of this season as well. Definitely adding it to my anime opening/ending playlist. The ending songs didn't hit as good but they're alright.
Overall: 9/10. It could've been a masterpiece, but that's alright. Steins;Gate 0 was good in its own way, and I love that I got to see another alternative timeline.
