Kimi ga Nozomu Eien proves that if the core foundation of your drama is strong enough, everything else can be second-rate and it will still hook you.
I found nothing about the show to be outright bad, but most compartments had their share of problems. A lot of the conflicts could be resolved if a character just managed to speak one proper sentence to explain themselves – the industry standard. As a character, Takayuki is about as interesting as the color grey – rest of the cast I thought was good. There are some leaps of logic that could have used further explanation. Also, this
...
story really didn't have to be an anime, I feel. The Visual Novel format probably served this tale a lot better than an anime ever could. Hell, almost any other form of presentation could have worked better for this subject matter. In this story, the scenes are often defined by their lack of motion instead of their motion, so going through the trouble of animating all of it feels almost pointless. The animation itself is a little inconsistent, but there's not much of a visual spectacle here anyways, so I suppose it's adequate.
The story is a good old love triangle, with a very cool twist. The real personal tragedy that is mixed into it, gripped me harder than what I was prepared for. The idea is maybe stretched a little thin, but I have no major complaints with the flow of the story. It's good.
It's been a while since I watched anything as grounded as this. Or even a show that took itself so seriously for that matter. I found a show like this to be very refreshing during this age of nonsense and visual noise.

I think the key problems with the ML:A anime adaptation can be broken into three categories:
1) WE ARE MISSING THE ENTIRE SETUP OF EVERYTHING!
A lot of people know about this but the original "Alternative" visual novel was the 3rd(!!) entry in a series of stories (titled Extra, Unlimited and Alternative). We are missing 2 visual novels worth of content here and that introduces some obvious problems. There's no way they could have woven in the information from the first two VNs into the anime to make it work flawlessly as a self-contained story, but they could have minimized the damage by writing some crucial bits
...
from Extra and Unlimited into the existing scenes and dialogue. But they don't really do that. Instead, a lot of Alternative's (the VNs) own content has been axed as well. I can sort of appreciate their efforts to streamline things – some scenes in the VN are agonizingly verbose and they'll make Metal Gear Solid codec conversations feel like high-octane action in comparison. But this is a case where they needed more, not less! The biggest casualties, I think, are the girls of 207th – our main characters! We get to know next to nothing about their personalities or their group dynamic. Sumika, "the childhood friend" from the other world, is another huge casualty. If you are looking at this show in a vacuum, you will think this is the flattest cast of characters imaginable. There's also the brain, the Game Guy, the cat's cradle thing, Takeru's personality shift, the bunny doll, Tsukuyomi and the three idiots, Jinguuji... I could go on. None of it is properly set up in the anime.
2) THE LACK OF PROPER PRODUCTION VALUES
If something in the source material had room for improvement, it is the action. A VN from the early 2000s is not gonna be great at presenting action and this is where the anime had a clear edge. Unfortunately, the show doesn't really look that great. The character animation stuff is awkward and inconsistent. The 3D stuff doesn't blend in properly with the traditional animation. The various mecha models all just blur together for me. Whether you love the visual designs of the mechas or hate ‘em, it’s a little difficult to tell which faction’s vehicles you are watching sometimes. But I don't wanna harp on the visuals too much. It is what it is. I'm sure it mostly boils down to lack of budget and time more so than incompetence or negligence, since at it's best, the show does look perfectly presentable.
3) THIS IS THE WEAKEST PART OF THE ALTERNATIVE STORY
The story bits covered here in the 12 episodes (11 if you discount the Sadogashima story) are essentially the crud of the original VN. The beginning of the story is really just treading water, as Takeru is repeating things he has already done before. The first major story event is the coup subplot. And while I wouldn't call it a bad plotline per se, it feels more like a world building thing than an integral part of the story. It is a little detached from everything else. So, if they do make more of the anime, they've now gotten the weakest parts out of the way and there should be better stuff coming. That's something to look forward to, I guess.
I’ll end with some positives. Watching the first couple of episodes of this show gave me the final jolt I needed to go through the original Muv-Luv VNs. That's something I've been meaning to do for years and I'm glad I finally got around to it – they are very much worth the while, even though they start real slow. So the anime did re-ignite my interest towards the setting. Also, the Sadogashima battle in the first episode is pretty good! If this is your first contact with the Muv-Luv universe, I think the opening episode showcases the nature of mankind's hopeless war against the BETA rather well. I do wish they had used the opportunity to set up some major plot-related characters as well while they were at it, but hey, I’ll take what I can get. At least we get some more context for Sadogashima, which will be useful in the future. I also like how the anime is gradually weaving the Valkyries into the story! The VN basically just drops them on you (almost) out of nowhere and that’s quite a lot of characters to introduce so late into the story. Doing it gradually like this is a good call.
I can recommend this anime to people who want to re-experience the original story without the insane time commitment that the visual novels require. If your memory serves you well enough that you can figure out what everyone and everything is about with only small reminders (because that's all you're getting), I think you can enjoy this. For everyone that's not already familiar with the source material, I feel like ML:A will be an underwhelming and confusing experience.

I feel like people rating this show low are approaching it on a too literal level. I don't think of this as a story-driven anime, but as a surreal character blender. Underneath Akuma no Riddle's apparent absurdity lurks some pretty tightly crafted subliminal themes and exploration of morality, free will etc. The Haru-Azuma -love story offers a throughline to the show that you can latch onto, but the two of them will spend a lot of their time on the backseat, as most episodes basically elevate the "assassin of the week" as a temporary main character. I happen to like this kind of structure a
...
lot - it's somewhat formulaic, but because it's so character-focused, the constant rotation keeps it fresh.
If you are the kind of person that can't stop screaming "why didn't they just..." at the screen, this is a hard pass. If you want a unique show that can be subtle with it's ideas but is not afraid of going over the top either, Akuma no Riddle is put together with lots of love and care. I'd say it's a hidden gem - a cult classic without much of a cult.

I'm about 14 years late to the Death Note party and a lot of what I would like to say about the show has already been said a million times, so I'll keep this very brief.
I think there's a 10/10 idea in here that is watered down by approximately 15 episodes worth of unnecessary padding. The concept is stretched way beyond it's maximum capacity and as the story starts to drag, the audience's eye will start to shift towards the absurdity of all that's going on and their suspension of disbelief will really be put to the test. Thanks to all the padding, some of
...
the characters, which could have been fine as minor story pieces, also end up really overstaying their welcome and start to get on your nerves due to their one-note nature.
This could have been great, but it ends up being merely a "mixed bag" for me. Unfortunate.

Halloween is upon us! To celebrate, let's write a review about something I actually enjoy. OOOoooOOOooo~!
Let's get this right out of the way: this movie is hella cheesy! We got a dark and mysterious half-vampire bounty hunter - stoic and brooding, you know the type. Extremely corny romantic dialogue with lines like "oh, my dear one". Super broad-shouldered musclemen spitting one-liners like "it's zombie time" (an absolute classic). If this sounds like it makes you want to puke, I completely get where you are coming from. If you can't get over these aspects, maybe pass on this. If you can overlook the cheese - or
...
better yet, if you can embrace it - I expect you'll have a great time with this movie.
A vampire kidnaps a girl and makes a run for it in his carriage. Badass post-apocalyptic bounty hunters are hired to track down the carriage and to get the girl back. And that's the movie! It's really not a story where you have to stretch your brain to figure out what is going on, but the story re-aligns itself a few times along the way to keep things interesting. Where we start and where we end up are like night and day and none of the characters will really look the same to us by the end.
Where this movie really gets down to business is it's pace. There are 0 seconds of bullshit. And I do not mean that the movie is non-stop action, because it most definitely isn't. For me, it has the exact perfect amount of "exciting" without ever getting "exhausting". Right as it starts to feel like you could maybe use a moment to catch your breath, it slows down for some character stuff that informs the audience what these people are like and why we should care about them. The dialogue scenes have just enough room to convey their information and let their emotion sink in, and right as you feel that it's maybe starting to drag a little bit, it'll quickly shift gears again.
The animation is flawless, both in terms of style and fluidity. It has a very neat 90s hand-drawn (I guess, at this point) "retro" quality to it. And if you are like me and you like broad shoulders and sharp chins on your characters, this movie might well be your new favorite thing. The setting is a neat mixture of gothic horror, western and some post-apocalyptic future tech. I refuse to call it Sci-Fi just because it has some lasers and some horses with robocop visors - there's not really anything sciency going on here. The Marco D'ambrosio score is excellent and I listen to it all the time just on it's own when I need some bombastic gothic feels.
The biggest gripe I have about the movie is the voice acting. If you take a look at the japanese cast and their track records, it is hard to imagine the voice acting being anything less than stellar. Sadly, it feels like many of these industry giants are just phoning it in here. They play their parts way too subdued, considering the nature of the material. With that in mind, I would say Bloodlust is actually the one anime where I think I prefer to watch it with the English audio. The English cast isn't afraid of going ham and they bring some of the characters to life a little better. Also, not having to read subtitles is actually a real nice aspect when watching a visually busy movie like this. I mentioned some of the cheesy lines already and the English cast doesn't exactly get through all the dialogue stuff with flying colors, so if you can't stand the English voices, that's okay, the Japanese track is decent enough.
This is the only anime for me that I can, with a good conscience, give a 10/10 rating to and stand behind it 100%. Is it a perfect movie? No. But none of it's flaws really put enough of a dent in it to lessen my enjoyment of it any meaningful way. It's a really tightly packed, exciting thrill ride and easily one of my favorite movies ever.
(Don't be confused about this being labeled as a "sequel" - this is a completely stand-alone piece of work with no plot ties to the other Vampire Hunter D movie)

SPOILERS for Attack on Titan seasons 1-3 (and Claymore, for comparison's sake)!
I can see that many of the negative reviews for AOT season 4 are awfully nitpicky. I'm not gonna engage in nitpicking and I am not going to latch on to the show's plot holes either. I feel like there are broader and more important elements for me to critique than the minute details. If stuff like the physics of the 3D Maneuver Gear bother you, I don't know how you made it this far with the show.
What happened to Attack on Titan reminds me a lot of what happened to Claymore (manga) many
...
years ago. The entire setting you knew, the one you thought you should care about, turns out to be just a small island in a larger world. A fly in an evil empire's militaristic soup. The monsters that you remember once sending shivers down your spine are revealed to be just weapons of war - things that can be created and even controlled. The lens, through which you observe the story, is now zoomed so far out, that all the struggles, drama and horror you went through with the show's characters before, now seems terribly small and insignificant.
But. Claymore at least had the decency to brush aside it's awful attempt at a shocking plot twist after it didn't really land for anybody. It wrapped up the story in the confines of the setting it had already established. The damage had been done and the twist had made everything worse, but at least it remained a concise story. Attack on Titan on the other hand doubles down on it's twist hard. While I kinda want to commend it for sticking to it's guns, the fact is that this is not even the same story anymore. This is an entirely new setting with new stakes and rules. Even new cast, really. There are enough new characters that get introduced during season 4 to fill up the entire character roster of an average anime series. I got nothing against expanding the scope of a series. It can keep things fresh and interesting. But this isn't expanding. There is a difference between expanding and just throwing the original premise in the trash.
Ever since season 1 ended, almost every new detail we have learned about the world has made the once cool and compelling setting less and less interesting. Was the Colossal Titan something that caught your attention back in the day? Thought it was menacing? In the endless cycle of the series trying to one-up itself, not only have we already seen bigger titans, but now we hear that there are literal millions of Colossal Titans. Millions. Did you happen to enjoy the main characters' struggle in the cool walled-off world of fascism, cruelty and cover-ups? Too bad. You were just watching bunch of recluses on an island - a society, held together by memory altering magic powers. Thought the silent terror of the unintelligent, man-eating titans was really horrific? Did you get invested in the fight against them? They are just killed off-screen. All of them. The great threat to mankind done and dusted, without so much as a montage sequence to commemorate the oocasion. We still get the transforming super titans... But those turn out to be nothing more than glorified mecha suits by the end. In a way, it's actually worse than just having mecha suits, because at least a vehicle could be lost or irreparably broken, so there might be some tension related to losing one. But with the titans, you can just keep conjuring them up as long as the "pilot" stays alive. Here, there are no lasting physical consequences to either the pilot or the vehicle outside of death.
Let's talk about the utilization of Eren in this. I don't know if it was the call of the writer(s), the director or the voice actor, but being "jaded" is translated to being "boring and monotone". No matter what you thought about Eren as a character in the previous seasons, it was actually kinda fun seeing him get agitated - spitting out (often hollow) threats and making bold claims. Screaming in rage or in terror. Crying his eyes out. Whether you thought he was oblivious, stupid or annoying, the character had some energy to him. Almost every single line of Eren, as delivered during season 4, sounds like he is one second away from falling asleep. You might call it character development - I call it yet another thing ruined. Not all development is good development and a stagnant character is better than a boring, passionless edgelord. I think I can just barely swallow the shift in Eren's morality, but not in his behavior. As a direction to take Eren towards, this could have worked, but it's pushed way too far.
The most frustrating thing about Season 4 is that, in a vacuum, there are still some neat things going on. The presentation is still more than fine and some of the dramatic peaks were undeniably effective and decently set up. There are even some deeper themes being explored than what we are used to in the show's previous seasons. As a detached, individual anime story, this could have been all right. But because this exists in the Attack on Titan "universe", it is hard for me to pay attention to anything that is going on beyond a once-so-awesome series that has systematically driven itself into the ground.

The review as a whole will contain spoilers for the previous seasons. I usually try to avoid spoilers, but this time, the problems are so directly related to the story that I have to address some of the plot elements. Those that have seen the previous parts of the show are safe for now. I will give a warning until I get to the spoilers for Season 3 Part 2.
I actually loved the beginning of S3P2. The first six episodes, for me, were as good as the show has gotten since season 1. We are finally taking back Wall Maria. We will finally get to
...
know the mystery of the cellar. We get the hyped up confrontation with the Armored and Colossal Titans - the one's that started it all. And the ruined district of Shiganshina is the perfect venue for this climactic confrontation. Seeing it again felt really cathartic. During the previous chapters, I almost forgot how satisfying it can be to be dealing with something that has been properly built up and not just hastily thrown at the wall with the hopes of it sticking.
The battle of Shiganshina has a lot of great things going on. Bunch of great heroic moments and lots of incredibly over the top, brutal, action. The beast titan is hurling boulders baseball pitcher style. The Colossal Titan can cause something akin to a nuclear explosion upon transforming now. Much of it is stupid, but it's stupid in the most entertaining way possible. We get epic heroic speeches. Moments of sacrifice. Couple of anticlimactic deaths too, to remind us that it's not all roses and heroism on the battlefield. Very Attack on Titan. The entire injector dilemma was a brilliant and tense sequence. It was so good that I find it difficult to accept that it emerged from the same mind that came up with the atrocious Reiss family story and thought it wouldn't damage the setting. In a vacuum, the battle of Shiganshina is a lot fun. What drags it down, is that it is constantly climbing uphill after what the previous chapters did to the story as a whole. But over all, I would definitely recommend the first six episodes to anyone who has gotten this far into the show - there is no reason to stop before experiencing this.
And then they ruin it. And by "it", I mean everything. A lot of dumb stuff happened during Season 2 and S3P1. But it was all still very tolerable. It could have been fixed... or at least you kept telling yourself that. But this was not only the last nail into the story's coffin, as far as I'm concerned, it was also enough dirt to bury the whole thing 6 feet under.
==SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT==
The entire world we have seen so far, is actually a secluded island. Beyond the ocean, there is an evil mega nation of doom that are persecuting an ancient race of people that once commanded the power of the titans. Their preferred method of execution for the descendants of these titans is to inject them with titan juice and set them loose on the island to terrorize the people living inside the walls. The Evil mega nation of doom, that are now being set up as the primary antagonists, are after the vast amounts of natural resources that can be found on the island. That's the spark behind it all! The nazis want some oil! If this sounds incredibly stupid to you... it's because I'm bastardizing it to hell... But also because IT IS!
So, it all took place on an island. We got characters with split personalities. Characters with very selective amnesia. Memory altering magic powers. Inconsistent magic powers that inexplicably work on some people while being useless against others. When your story has elements such as these, you know you are dealing with quite a mess. There are some satisfying revelations here and there but they don't outweigh the tremendous amounts of awful.
Also, every new bit of information we have learned about the titans as the show has progressed, has made them less and less cool. What happened to the "grim reminder" the mankind received at the beginning of the show? Living in fear of the titans? By the end of season 3 the characters are talking like the titans aren't even a factor anymore. And they are right! The titans are meaningless. In fact, they kill off all the titans! They JUST do it! Killing off ALL the regular titans, the once insurmountable enemy of mankind, isn't even deserving of a montage. Not even a dialogue scene. It's a passing sentence. One of the most horrific monsters ever created - reduced to this.
To wrap it up... The first 6 episodes of the season are a lot of fun. They are what drag my score for the season a little higher than it probably should be, considering the dreadful plot revelations in the final episodes.

Poorly thought-out and often self-contradicting story in gorgeous wrappings. That is Attack on Titan in a nutshell. I know that not having the story completely mapped out right away is the industry standard, when it comes to creation of a typical manga series. But I think the great authors of the industry are conscious enough of their own work that they can avoid trampling all over their previous story beats while they keep adding in new stuff. In Attack on Titan, it feels like every addition to the show's lore makes the setting less and less compelling.
"Why did the character say THAT if THIS happened?"
...
or "If they knew about THIS, why did they act THAT way?" Good writing will keep questions like these from ever surfacing. In mediocre writing, the answer to questions like these is "because the plot demanded it". In awful writing (which is the territory Attack on Titan unfortunately keeps treading on) you often arrive at an unfortunate realization that the plot could have actually progressed towards the desired direction anyways, without having to sacrifice the in-world logic or the integrity of the setting.
The regular titans are sadly not really a part of S3p1 at all. All we get now are these transforming super titans. Escalating stakes and progressively stronger enemies are a mainstay of the action anime genre, but I am really sad to see my all-time favorite anime monsters reduced to basically just a slight inconvenience. This is a fanboy complaint, but S3p1 also kinda further shits on the Colossal Titan by introducing an even BIGGERER and more DANGEROUSER super titan. To me, the Colossal Titan was always the poster boy of the entire series. The image of it gazing over the wall is the first thing I think of when I hear the name "Attack on Titan".
Animation? Still excellent. Maybe a slight dip in quality in the middle, but no major flaws. The soundtrack? Great (all though some of the new vocal tracks I found a tad bit distracting). Voice acting? Great. Basically everything on the anime production-side is god tier. Unfortunately, it's all in the service of this story that is on it's way down a toilet and trying to hit the flush.

Season 2 of Attack on Titan is a mess. I'm tempted to say, "this is where the show jumps the shark", but I have not yet experienced the later seasons. I guess, season 2 is about that point in the story where the creator decided that his story should have some more twists to it. Unfortunately, Attack on Titan seems to only be able to pull off two kinds of twists:
Type A) The twists that are painfully obvious.
Type B) The twists that end up deflating the weight of the story and almost ruin the wonderful setting of the show.
The writing in general seems awfully sloppy
...
here and very much gives off the feel of "just making shit up as I go". Lots of "do you remember that one life defining moment we had? Here's a flashback sequence of it, because we haven't actually established it (aka the writer only just now came up with it)". The lack of patience and proper buildup is astounding. If a thing is set up, it will either pay off immediately during the span of one episode or it will be brushed aside and left unresolved for the rest of the season.
I wonder why the story went out of it's way to prevent Annie from acting as the source of our exposition by having her encased in crystal. It basically made the victory at the end of season 1 feel hollow and bitter. But the exposition Annie could have organically delivered gets dumped on us very soon afterwards (in manga release timeframe anyways) by other characters, so her whole cocoon maneuver seems like a net negative for the flow of the story. At the time, I thought the Season 1 ending was bold. "There are no real victories in war" -kinda thing. Now, I think it's painfully obvious that it was just the writer stalling for some more time to scramble together some sort of plan.
I am almost certain that Rainer's split personality was an afterthought that had to be worked into the story in order for the character's actions to make any kind of sense in hindsight. Ymir turns her coat so many times in such a short period of time that the coat is basically just flickering on her. I suppose she is supposed to come off as volatile, to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, but it just comes across illogical and frustrating instead.
Attack on Titan still has a lot of great things going for it. The art style and animation is still gorgeous and the Hiroyuki Sawano soundtrack is still A+ quality. The setting, despite season 2's best efforts, is still excellent and the titans are still one of the most horrific monsters I've ever seen in any media. All of this the show still has. But what is actually happening on the screen, in the present, is so tremendously stupid at times that the positive qualities almost don't matter. That is what makes AOT season 2 so frustrating, it completely fumbles with handling the fantastic framework for an epic story that it built for itself during season 1.

I'm gonna give you the TLDR-version of the review right off the bat: if you have read about the show's premise and it sounds like it would be up your alley: go ahead and watch it. The show is good. If you are on the fence or you set out to just plain dislike the series, the show will provide you with plenty of ammunition to shoot it down as well. I'll go through some of my personal gripes, while avoiding spoilers.
All the mecha parts are realized with the aid of some pretty dated 3D graphics. Even though the models themselves look rather rough, there
...
is still some proper weight to their movement and the environmental destruction feels tangible, even if the action and fight choreography ain't spectacular. I think the studio did the best they could with the limited time and money given to them, but if mixing 2D and 3D animation is something you absolutely cannot stand, there's your fist reason to pass on this.
My first big gripe would be the soundtrack. I think they were going for something minimalistic and experimental, but it mostly just ends up sounding awkward and distracting. There are tracks that flow a little better, but they aren't anything memorable. Over all, a very mediocre soundtrack, which is a shame.
Bokurano is a torturous psychological drama and that is where the emphasis lies. If you are looking for giant robot action that gets your heart pumping, this is definitely not for you... But I think most people are able to figure that out just by reading the synopsis. Bokurano is ultimately a show about the end of innocense and childhood and about coming to terms with death. About how extreme situations can bring out the best qualities in some people or dredge up the worst qualities in others. I was afraid that the show would have some childish message along the lines of "everyone is shitty" and all these kids would turn out to be terrible people, but that is luckily not the case. There is a lot of variety in how the characters end up dealing with the awful, awful situation that they've wound up in. As the story progresses and the full gravity of what is going on dawns to these characters, I'd be willing to bet some good money that in any kind of realistic scenario, these kids would absolutely break down into a weeping, useless mess (I know I would)... But that wouldn't make for a very good story, so I can let that one go.
What bothered me more than some of the character reactions, was the way the government and the society were reacting to what was happening. A lot about the handling of a crisis of this scale just made me scratch my head in confusion. I did not feel like the adult world of the series functioned very logically or credibly. That being said, there is a pretty convenient story reason why the world of Bokurano doesn't necessarily operate along the same lines of logic as ours, so once again, I'm willing to overlook this aspect.
I have to admit that this show hit a very specific sweet spot for me. Once the merciless nature of the story started to fully dawn on me, I was hooked. I was simultaneously filled with dread and excitement with the reveal of every new pilot. Seeing the chair roulette land on a character you had really started to like - in the best way possible - felt like a punch to the gut. I haven't felt as giddy or anxious about anything in an anime in a long time. If you are willing to overlook some pretty big flaws, Bokurano is a wonderfully awful experience.
