If you're looking for an anime to fill your O.P. magicless MC plate in a world full of magic, then Wistoria is the anime for you. To basically describe this anime "It's a more serious Mashle, but instead of fists and creampuffs its swords and battle glasses. It is a nice watch for these reasons:

1. The storytelling and setting
This anime's character storytelling is insane, as not only do we have a somewhat fleshed-out backstory and reasons for why the magicless MC is at a magic academy and trying to reach his impossible goal. But, all the other side characters have their histories and ... reasons explored as well. Basically saying that this anime doesn't just leave you guessing why someone does or acts in that manner without providing a solid backstory.

This anime has the setting of the oh-so-common magical academy (like Reign of the Seven Spellblades), especially when it comes to focusing on the mega dungeon/labyrinth right below the academy where the characters must enter and fight monsters to achieve their goals.

2. The animation
Wistoria has very solid animation throughout the entire season and does not seem to falter anywhere even in the high-impact action scenes. The spells look amazing and the sword fighting visuals are nothing to scoff up, especially when you know that the director of this anime was also the director of Black Clover. The character's expressions and body language also benefit from this good animation style.

3. The Trope and cliché
I will not lie, Wistoria does fall into the category of the MC with immense powers that isn't respected or is bullied due to those powers being different. It also has the classic supporting female classmate who receives no attention from the MC, as the MC only has eyes for one person (making it their goal to reach her). Hey there's also a tournament arc in the middle of this anime. However, if you do like an overpowered MC and these tropes then this anime will be a good watch for you.

Overall, I enjoyed Wistoria for the anime it was due to its amazing characters, animation and fight scenes throughout the entirety of it. It is a great adaption from its source material and is defiantly worth a watch.

Date A Live V is a delightful and most appreciated return to the beloved world of spirits, romance, and epic battles, and it does not disappoint in delivering high-stakes action with emotional storytelling and splashes of humor. Fans of the series will be thrilled by how this season continues to weave the intricate relationships among Shido, the spirits, his allies on the Fraxinus and his enemies at DEM, all while finally offering long-awaited answers to the backstory of Shido and the Spirit of Origin.

Where Date A Live V truly shines is in how it finally brings closure to the long teased mystery of Shido’s origins, ... how he has spirit power and the Spirit of Origin, the driving force behind much of this season. The season masterfully ties together lingering plot threads with revelations that feel earned and satisfying. Without spoiling too much, the connection between Shido and the Spirit of Origin is revealed in a way that not only explains many of the strange occurrences in the series but also elevates the stakes, making this one of the most compelling story arcs yet.

The animation quality in this season remains as vibrant and dynamic as ever, due to the team at Geek Toy's improving on the last season, particularly in the battle sequences. The energy and tension in these scenes are palpable, yet the series never forgets to make time for quieter, more emotional moments, which truly enhance the overall experience and gives time to enjoy the atmosphere of this series.

For long-time fans, Date A Live V is a rewarding watch that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the franchise—romantic, comedic, intense action, and above all DATING. The balance between answering the burning questions about Shido’s past while still developing the relationships with the spirits ensures that the season feels both climactic and fulfilling. If you’ve been following the series, this season is a must-watch. If you have never seen Date A Live then nows the time to do the greatest anime bing and watch all of this amazing series that has spanned over 10 years.

TBH going into Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon I was not expecting what I came out with.

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon had been sitting in my plan to watch for some time now and finally decided to watch it. In the beginning, I was so confused by everything that was happening. But over time the story began to clean up and I could understand it more.

If your looking for a quick watch and have seen the first season of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, I recommended sticking and watching season 2 out for its great sound design and character development from the supporting roles.

Overall, Kyoukai Senjou no ... Horizon II is a small enjoyable watch and if you want more the light novel is finished and has been translated.

My Overall Score Is 7 (Good)
