Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru is an enjoyable and exciting watch as this anime is an essential Power Rangers iseaki. I say it's a must-watch if you grew up watching shows like Power Rangers, Super Sentai and Kamen Rider and even if you didn't it never hurt to give something a try, right?

The anime really likes to poke fun at the classic Super Sentai and Tokusatsu tropes and standards through the overuse of onomatopoeia whenever there is any chance. By all means, this does not ever get boring and instead adds to the charm of this anime due to it's epicness during ... fights and addition to the comedic aspect of the show.

The main character in this anime, Red' is a funny and adventurous character who only cares about forming and protecting "Bonds" with other individuals and takes does everything with 110% effort. The "Bonds" also serve as his power source throughout the anime, as he uses his these "Bonds" to help him fight against his foes through his assortment of relationship based weaponry and ultimately his Kizuna Beast, which can transform into a MEGAZOID. A main point of this anime is Red's absurd powers in this isekai world. As the world is that of a fantasy world, so it's always great to see whenever Red uses his powers and especially his megazoid to fight his opponents that are always blown away by his mecha.

Additionally, Red meets many people whom he forms "Bonds" with as he travels with his new team to put an end to nefarious plans of demons that wish to resurrect the demon queen. Besides Red, there are many enjoyable side characters in this anime, such as the mage Yihdra, who has the strongest 'romantic bond' with Red and wishes to become the top mage in the entire kingdom to average her father. Yihdra and Red's relationship also makes for some hilarious moments, as this mage keeps getting blown away by all of Red's sentai gear and the megazoid that he can summon to this world of swords and magic. Also, other characters like the princess Teltina and the hero Lowji join Red on his adventure as together they fight corrupt and evil lords to protect the kingdom.

The OP is also absolutely fire, as it fires you up and gets you excited about what you're about to watch.

If you enjoy isekai and tokusatsu based animes, why not enjoy this one which is a mixture of both. Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru is epic as you let yourself become immersive with the epic music, sound effects and action, along with its constant comedy. I highly recommend this anime for any fans of super sentai shows as you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf is an enjoyable and relaxing watch with a nice unique isekai gimmick. If you enjoy anime such as “Uncle from another World” or “Sasaki and Peeps” then I would recommend picking up this to watch.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf is not your common isekai as I mentioned before due to it combining both normal isekai themes and also “reverse isekai” scenarios which results in some fun and interesting stories. The story mainly centres around Kazuhiro who is an ordinary Japanese salaryman, but has the ability to be isekaied into a fantasy world whenever he sleeps. The other main character ... is Marie the elven spirit sorcerer who is able to travel back to the “normal world” after both are killed by the arkdragon.

This creates the main premise of the show as Marie now starts her unexpected transition into the modern world. The show has a nice This development leads to a blend of fantasy and slice-of-life elements as Marie acclimates to contemporary Japanese culture, exploring its cuisine, language, and customs, all while maintaining their adventures in the fantasy realm during Kazuhiro's dreams. A romantic relationship develops between Kazuhiro and Marie and evolves throughout the story, providing both comedic and heartfelt moments as they navigate the challenges of two interconnected worlds.

Interestingly, the show can be split into two different major stories. As the real world shows off and explores Marie’s adaptation to the Japanese culture and relationship with Kazuhiro, whilst the isekai world explores the adventure of the two as the explore dungeons and take on various enemies that may get in their way.

The animation quality is commendable, featuring vibrant art and fluid motion that effectively bring the characters and settings to life. The art style complements the narrative's blend of fantasy and slice-of-life elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
While "Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!" is a delightful watch, it's important to note that if you're seeking high-quality and entertaining fantasy battles, this may not be the right show for you. The series places greater emphasis on its slice-of-life aspects, particularly highlighting the cultural exchanges and everyday experiences between the characters. This focus is evident in scenes showcasing Japanese cuisine, where the depiction of food serves as a symbol of the show's dedication to exploring daily life and cultural nuances.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this light hearted and comedic anime. Both the main characters were great and their dynamics made the show even better. If your looking for a isekai to enjoy that isn’t just OP MC then I highly recommend this show right here with its comedy, slice-of-life, adventure and romance themes. Final warning however, just seeing the food depicted in this show will make your mouth water it looks and sounds that good.

This will be a review of the anime "Unnamed Memory" from both seasons/acts and from someone who has seen the anime and not read the light novel it's based on.

"Thought I'd also include this review in the second season's MAL page as well".

Story:
"An old fairy tale about a king and the fifth witch..."
Unnamed memory takes a fresh, if uneven, approach to fantasy romance. The anime is built on a foundation of episodic arcs interwoven with a longer narrative centered on the growing relationship between Tinasha and Oscar. Initially, the show captivates with its mature tone and intriguing world-building. The narrative hints at deeper ... themes—such as time, sacrifice, and the complexities of love—that could potentially elevate it to the level of iconic fantasy tales. However, the story sometimes falls into a pattern of uneven storytelling, with abrupt time skips and narrative shifts that make it challenging for some viewers to keep track of the underlying plot.
Additionally, if you begin to watch this anime and hope for the answers regarding some of the hidden secrets, such as "Oscar's curse" then you better buckle up and get ready as this will not be explained until near the end of the second season. Despite these flaws, the focus on an unconventional romance gives the series its charm, rewarding viewers who appreciate its nuanced take on fantasy storytelling. It also is the complete story, as it does have an ending in the 2nd season that ties up everything and makes you glad you gave this a watch.

Characters:
At the heart of the series are Tinasha and Oscar, whose dynamic is both the anime's strongest point and its most controversial element. Unlike the typical anime tropes of overly shy or theatrically expressive characters, Tinasha and Oscar present a refreshingly mature relationship. Tinasha is portrayed as independent and cool-headed, while Oscar—despite sometimes giving off generic “MC vibes”—complements her with a blend of dry wit and genuine vulnerability. Their interactions are marked by playful banter and moments of sincere intimacy, which offer a refreshing contrast to more formulaic portrayals of romance in fantasy settings. The subtlety with which the series handles mature themes—like physical intimacy and relationship dynamics—adds a layer of realism. However, some character arcs, especially those involving supporting figures like the witches or the conflicted Miralys, feel underdeveloped, leaving the audience wanting more clarity and depth in these secondary storylines.

Animation and Sound:
The animation quality varies significantly throughout the series, I would argue that the second season has the better animation, especially during the magical fights. Early episodes boast impressive fight sequences and beautifully rendered fantasy landscapes, which set a high bar for the series. Unfortunately, this standard dips in the middle episodes where key sequences seem rushed or less polished. That said, the art style and character designs remain consistently appealing, contributing to the overall aesthetic despite the inconsistencies. On the sound front, the soundtrack complements the thematic elements well—balancing both the lighter, playful moments of Tinasha and Oscar’s relationship and the darker, more introspective sequences. The voice acting is commendable, with performances that manage to convey the subtle emotional shifts required by the script. However, given the fluctuating animation quality, the impact of these moments is occasionally undermined by the lack of visual continuity.

The Elephant in the Room "Pacing":
One of the standout issues in Unnamed Memory is its pacing. Early episodes feel promising as they introduce key characters and establish an engaging world that is easy to follow and undetsnad, but as the series progresses, the pacing becomes erratic. Scenes—such as an unexpected abduction—occur with little buildup and then are resolved at the start of the next episode, making the transitions feel forced just to follow the LN material. This hyper-accelerated development of Tinasha and Oscar’s relationship, moving from conflict to deep affection in a blink, can detract from the emotional gravity of their bond. While these rapid changes can be refreshing for some viewers, they may also alienate those who prefer a more measured narrative progression.

Overall:
Even though it has its flaws, I REALLY enjoyed this anime. The anime shines through in its genuine and mature portrayal of romance. The refreshing chemistry between Tinasha and Oscar, their playful yet sincere interactions, and the combat and fights were amazing. The series’ unique blend of fantasy world-building with authentic character dynamics created an immersive experience that kept me coming back—even when the story took unexpected twists. Ultimately, it was the warmth, humor, and undeniable connection between the leads that made every episode a memorable journey worth watching.

Twin Star Exorcists is an action-packed supernatural anime that blends intense battles, emotional character growth, and a unique take on destiny. While it takes creative liberties from the manga, the anime delivers an engaging story with its own charm.

Story:
Twin Star Exorcists follows Rokuro and Benio, two young exorcists fated to become the "Twin Stars"—the destined couple prophesied to bring an end to the war against the monstrous Kegare. While both are skilled fighters, they start off as rivals, reluctant to accept their destiny. However, as the anime progresses and they find out more about themselves their relationship grows, making the emotional journey as gripping as ... the action in it.

One of the anime’s biggest strengths is its world-building. The setting of Magano, a parallel realm where exorcists fight Kegare, is visually striking, filled with eerie landscapes and intense battles. The action scenes are fluid and well-choreographed, showcasing a variety of exorcist techniques and abilities.

However, the story takes a different approach from the manga, introducing anime original arcs that expand on the world and characters. These original arcs allows for new stories and fights that keep the anime experience fresh and I feel help in the overall story. The pacing has its highs and lows, but the blend of intense battles, heartfelt moments, and humor makes for an engaging watch.

Charcaters:
Rokuro and Benio’s dynamic is the heart of the series. Rokuro starts off as someone who rejects his exorcist past, while Benio is fiercely dedicated to her duty. Their growth—both as fighters and as partners—is satisfying to watch, as they push each other to improve and develop mutual respect and feelings.

The supporting cast is also memorable, with characters like Seigen, Mayura, and the Twelve Guardians adding depth to the world. The villains, especially the Basara, provide challenging fights and emotional stakes, making each battle feel personal and meaningful in some scenarios.

Animation/Visuals:
The visuals in Twin Star Exorcists are vibrant and colorful, especially in the battles. The exorcist techniques and combat effects look great, and many fights are well-animated and impactful. However, the animation quality fluctuates at times, with some episodes looking noticeably less polished. Despite this inconsistency, the art style and character designs remain appealing throughout the series.

To conclude:
Despite some pacing issues and animation inconsistencies, Twin Star Exorcists is an enjoyable supernatural shonen anime with a compelling story, engaging characters, and exciting battles. If you're looking for an action-packed anime with a mix of romance, destiny, and battles, I would recommend giving this a watch.

Maou 2099 is a combination of two of my favorite things, O.P demon lord MCs and cyberpunk theming and aesthetics.
It has a very unique fantasy-cyberpunk fusion which you don't usually see, therefore it is quite a refreshing anime to watch, thanks to not only amazing voice-acting and amination, but also sound design and story.

The Story:
As this will be a spoiler-free review, I won't dive into too much of the lore and story of Maou 2099. However, I must tell you that the story-telling and the pacing of the story are all appreciable in this era of anime. I feel like there is solid worldbuilding ... of the setting and themes of this anime and strong and impactful character backstories that make their actions so much funnier and impactful. For the actual story it is nothing too new for anime, as it revolves around a long-dead demon lord that arises in an unfamiliar cyberpunk city with no idea about the what, the when and the why this is all happening. However, he eventually is greeted by a familiar face and with them learn about the new world he has arisen in and learns to survive without his demon kingdom. In addition, the story can be pretty serious and thrilling which is fantastic to keep you hooked an engaged.

The Characters:
All the characters in anime are perfect as they are all both funny, serious and emotional at the appropriate times. Our main demon lord Veltol is a perfect M.C for this story and setting, and for avid anime watchers can ensure you that you will be entertained by his endeavors in his new world. But, as always there is a beautiful and cute female M.C in Machina if that's your cup of tea. There are also many others such as the the best hacker in 2099 Takahashi and also the lost hero out of time Gram. Watch Maou 2099 and tell me which character your favourite is, I'm sure you'll have one. (P.s mines Veltol, you can't not love him).

The Animation:
This is produced by J.C staff studio, so already you know that the animation is gonna be pretty good compared to some other slop on the market these days. I will not say that the animation is super crazy like solo leveling or Jujutsu Kaisen, but for a season anime that appeared out of nowhere, its pretty great. Not only are the normal scenes well animated, but the fights are astonishing with flashy colours and impactful gradients. Also the animation stays consistently goof throughout the season which is a god send these days.

The Audio:
The OP and ED are both really good. The OP by Siyui is especially dope, as it perfectly fits the story and aesthetics of the show. The voice acting both Japanese and English are really good and perfectly suits each character to a tea. The OST I feel is also fine for this show, nothing too over the top just yeah for this show.

So yeah here are the main topics I feel people will think of when deciding to watch this anime. Remember this is all just my opinion and I just love this show, so I may be a bit biased in my review. But if you watch it I feel like you'll understand my bias hehe. However, if you don't vibe with this show, that fair I can understand that.

Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoy Maou 2099 and have a good day :)

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)
