Promare (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
After watching Promare, I can't really recommend it and as a matter of fact, even if I went for the mixed feelings, I hesitated more with the not recommended option than with the recommended one.

I'll try to explain down below the few things done right by the movie and the many ones done wrong. I'll try to stay focused solely on the movie and won't compare it with other animes made by Trigger, although I'll say that I didn't like TTGL and dropped it quite early one, so I guess that I got off with the wrong foot with this movie since it shares ...

Lv2 kara Cheat is okayish... The reason I still went for the recommended review instead of mixed feelings is because I think it's enjoyable for people who already like and enjoy watching isekais. If you've never watched one, you probably shouldn't start with this one, and I'll try to explain briefly why down below.

This anime is clearly aiming for the average, and it will check many boxes of the isekai genre : op mc, pseudo harem, basic plot, average animation quality etc... And while a few elements are done right such as the number of characters introduced, the female MC, the opening song, the ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/12 eps)
Tensai Ouji felt like a mixed bag, there are some good ideas in this show, while there are also very tedious ones. The overall balance is somewhat neutral, I think it's fairly easy to overlook these anime's flaws and enjoy it for what it has to offer, but it remains a pretty average show and won't appeal to everyone.

I'll try to give more details in this review to explain the mixed feelings that made me drop this show, not because it's a bad one, but simply because I wasn't hooked enough.


Let's start off with the things done right, the voice acting is good ...

Solo Leveling was trhilling to watch and i can recommend it to every viewer that usually enjoys action anime.

I'll try to describe down below the pros and cons of this show, without spoiling anything. Keep in mind that I haven't read the webtoon nor did I have special expectations for this adaptation.


The pros :

+ Good animation, the fighting scenes are done well, the character designs are pretty good too.
+ Even if this show goes for the "OP MC" trope, it remains believable enough, and the events presented in the anime allow the mc to still face some dangers, which isn't always ...

Romantic Killer was fun to watch, it's the kind of show that can be enjoyed both by romcom fans and viewers who aren't used to this genre. It is using a parody angle to build its story, and while it does work to some extent, it also has some shortcomings and I'll try to explain my point of view down below, without spoiling anything.


The show starts off with an interesting premise and going for a parody to make fun of the usual tropes we find in romcoms works pretty well, the story manages to give a somewhat believable explanation for everything that is happening. ...

Ao Haru Ride (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (6/12 eps)
After watching the first 6 episodes of Ao Haru Ride, I decided to drop it, and while I definitely wouldn't call it bad, I really can't call it good either. I'll discuss the pros and cons of this show down below, to try and explain why this show felt average even if it had an interesting premise.

I won't spoil anything ( not that there's much to spoil up to the 6th episode... ) but I'll mention the side characters and their relationships.


The pros :

+ The visuals are good looking. The art style is trying to go for an unique vibe and it ...

I just finished watching the first season of Kamonohashi Ron no Kinda Suiri and I recommend it for anyone that likes the detective genre.

While this show isn't perfect, it has many qualities and I'll try to point them out in this review, without spoiling anything.


The pros :

+ The investigations are interesting, and that's very important for a detective show. They aren't exactly meant to be solvable by the viewers, but the detectives will solve them by paying close attention to details in a believable way.

+ The character design is neat and the side characters are funny and rather inspired.

Roshidere is a great romcom, it's well balanced between lovely and quirky moments, the characters are good looking, the animation is nice, it does use some usual tropes for this genre but unfortunately, it also faces the same problem we can find in other romcoms regarding the plot : it's a tiny bit too linear and predictable.

The pros :

+ Beautiful character design (except for the male MC who has a pretty bland/common style )
+ Yuki Suou as a character is pretty funny and has a rather uncommon profile in anime
+ Decent animation
+ This anime manages pretty well its comedy aspect, ...

Megami no Café Terrace S2 was fun to watch, and I'd recommend it to everyone who enjoyed the first season, because both of them share the same qualities... as well as their weaknesses.

The story is still about the everyday life of Hayato and his harem, the many shenanigans the girls will think of to tease him and try to get his attention. This second season adds a few new story elements, some of them serve as new comic reliefs while others will try to deepen a bit the story and explain some stuff. Nothing too convoluted, it does the job and if you like ...

After the well received season 1 of Oshi No Ko, there was quite a lot of hype for the season 2 and did it deliver ? Yes, while there are a few shortcomings, the season 2 is as entertaining as the first one and probably even improved in the visuals and animation fields.

I'll try to explain down below why I recommend this show without spoiling anything.

The story :

The whole concept of doing a manga adaptation for a theater play inside an anime is interesting, and that's what this show is about for the first 7/8 episodes. There are some inspired visuals, and I ...
