Before I start this review, you need to note that I am a fan of the One Piece story who follows the latest developments through scanlation. So my review will be quite biased but let's get started.
First, this movie is different from the modern one piece movies that have existed before such as stampede, gold, z, strong world. This movie does not rely on new antagonists to drive the story, they even use Shanks and Luffy's past stories which are still not explained much, creating a character named UTA and successfully inserting it into the story so that it seems canon with the overall story.
...
UTA Devil Fruit also looks reasonable even though it made a lot of people confused at the beginning of the movie unlike my disappointment with Bullet Awakening.
The reason why UTA started the mission is quite clear, starting from the background, preparations and plans, as well as the potential danger to the world. So that made Navy and CP 0 like Coby, Blueno, Califa, Fujitora and Kizaru try to catch UTA. This also applies to Oven, Brulle and Katakuri who appear in the story so we don't get random characters who appear in the movie as cameos.
The Strawhat's crew didn't get much screen time in this movie but we can still see them in action in some parts of the movie. This movie is very focused on UTA, Shanks and Luffy and is a bit confusing if we want to consider this canon with the existing story whether this is before Wano or after Wano (Zoro still uses Shusui but Jimbe has joined the Crew) that's the difficulty of making a movie that feels like canon but doesn't fit from the existing timeline.
It must be admitted that there will be debate if we talk about the pacing of this film, but for me, considering the time of the movie which is usually 120 minutes with a very large number of casts and the necessity to explain the background, problems and developments of existing conditions. In my opinion, this pacing movie is very appropriate, plus I noticed that this movie was made for OnePiece fans as a series of 25 years anniversary, but it can still be followed by people who have just watched OnePiece, even though the effect is definitely different.
In this movie we get new information about Shanks (please pay attention in detail because this may be a foreshadow in Canon Onepiece story), the importance of musicians for ODA, 8 music from ADO which is very good and memorable and most importantly does not damage the power scaling of the characters that exists in the world of one piece.
But of course, of all the positive values of this movie, there are still shortcomings of this movie. For example the use of CGI when UTA sings and repetitive choreography moves. But this doesn't mean UTA's songs are like the classic disney princess songs. Did you pay attention to the lyrics of the song? The songs here are the result of extraordinary collaborations from various Japanese artists. We got all of the music before we had access to watch the movie, and see that these songs (with the various traits they try to present) manage to be neatly integrated into the movie.
If you ask is this movie worth watching? The answer for me is "Yes it's worth it", because the music is cool especially if you hear it in the cinema, the story that seems canon and different from other films, the effect of Shanks on the story and the appearance of Shank's crew. And the emotional roller coaster that has been prepared in this movie starts from the comedy, mystery, and sadness that comes from ODA's intervention in the process of making this movie. I just hope you can also enjoy this movie without having to be an elitist who dictates that this movie should be like this and that. Just enjoy the ride till we meet again in the end of One Piece Story.

For information I failed to watch this part for once. When the series aired I overjoyed to see the continuation about Yuuna story, how come the series will end. And I enjoy the 1 eps, I think it is good and satisfying for me to see these girl enjoying their daily life. But after eps 1 it is just downhill for me. We see more of new supporting cast (Miyoshi Karin trainee group) and we also see flashback (the predecessor of Sonoka and Yuuna how the first battle start).
I think it is a good concept of story telling if you make it compact or insert
...
it into the main story. But what we get almost 5-6 eps we don't see our main cast, and tbh I don't really care about these girls. So I failed and skipped the series even I almost forget about the series. I think i dropped it at eps 7 and only recently just try to finished the series just to see what happen to Yuuna.
And I am glad I finished this series, although it is not good enough at least I get to know the ending of our heroes journey. The story it so boring it even not funny. Most of time we will get depressed story from the supporting cast and flashback. The last battle it is not fulfilling and feel rushed. It is because that put too much time in the unimportant story. The battle of vertex is not as good as the first season.
In conclusion if you just want to know the ending you can skipped the most part of the story and you still understand the ending. Only eps 1 bring enjoyment for me because you can see all of our main cast just enjoying their daily life. I am glad I finished the series and heard the ending song.

If you have a friend that tell you to watch Odd Taxi, just believe in them. The series is full of mysteries and outstanding reveal in the end of series. My brain explode in eps 13, so beware just watch and enjoy this series.
The demographic of this series is actually for young adult and adult. If you still teen or child I not recommend to watch this series. Most of the problems that this series bring to the table are actual modern problem. For example student who want to go viral, middle age man who using dating app, young woman who have a lot
...
of debt, corrupt policeman and other.
I know it is kind a dark and if you not focus in the story or the name of character you will find something missing. Because you need to focus to connect all the little piece of puzzle to bigger picture. I know taxi maybe not the most interesting place to start a story. But this drama mysteries pull it out greatly as one of hidden gem of 2021.
In conclusion enjoy this series. Maybe you must remember a lot of character and their own problem and you feel it is not connected but it will in the end. Just be patient and follow it until the end it will worth your time. If just by any chance you find this series too boring for you maybe you are not ready, just skipped it for now and return again when you want to finished the series.
Because you can only enjoy this series fully when you remember all the information that they try to provide from eps 1. Don't bother to watch this series if you have weak memory or long pause to watch the series.

The world is crazy, it has been and always will be. It is the correct way to describe the movie. When I think we have reach the peak of quality of art style in animation. Tenki no Ko prove me wrong again and again. Water droplet, food, building, sky everything they draw it is so stunning. It is the beast of visual. They deserve more than 10 in term of score. The sound track it very compatible to the visual and the story is compact. It is worth your time even if you have to watch it several times. I already watch it in Dub
...
and Sub and both equally good.
What you prefer when you woke up in the morning, bright sunshine or gloomy rain? Weather is such important part in our life but sometime we take it for granted. For example if have an urgent meeting but you get stuck because of the rain what do you feel? If you have to go outside, but there is flood in front of your door, must be irritating right. And this movie specifically describe the situation. This is story is about Hina the sunshine girl, Hodaka the light seeker and how fate intertwine with their life.
I won't write any spoiler but I think we must explore more to the first part of the story. I think people already amazed by middle and ending part of the story. In the first part we get the explanation why being minor in Japan is very difficult. We know the rules are made to protect the weak such as minor need guardian in their daily life. But it not always true, we will see the dark part of implication of the rules. How come good rules become hindrance to minor in Japan.
In conclusion this movie is very worth of your time. maybe you will not understand some part of it like the mystery of weather it self but I don't get it either and a lot of other people too. But we get outstanding visual music and story. Whole good package that we can called it masterpiece in art.

Sci-Fi movie is not for everyone, maybe a lot of people can't understand the plot or the story. But it is the beauty of Sci-Fi, sci-fi can show you the extended version of reality so you can feel it like you are the part of the story.
The story is about time travel. Adult Naomi( about 10 years older version of Naomi) jump back to the present to change it. Because if he cannot change the present, Ruri his girlfriend will meet tragical end of being hit by lightning.
Being able to jump back to the past adult Naomi we will call him sensei/teacher have restriction
...
of not able to touch real thing, basically he just like hologram. So he need younger Naomi to help him going out with Ruri and protect her so the future will change.
Can Naomi and Sensei protect Ruri? Will they be change the future? How important Ruri for Naomi, fid out by watch movie. It has good story/plot you will never expect it will turn out to that way. They also have good CGI and banger music from Hige-dan. You won't get typical time travel story in this movie.
In conclusion this movie is good, story is unpredictable and good. CGI is pretty decent you can enjoy it. If you still don't know to watch the movie or not you can check the trailer of this movie, and I hope you will find this movie worth enough to watch.

Ishigami doing voice of Bisco and Tanjiro doing voice of Milo. It is actually very funny, if you can imagine Ishigami but in angry state throughout a whole episode like he blow some of his steam. Sabikui Bisco is series that get a lot of attention because of the source material. Who don't like to see man who can use bow, ride the giant crab and conjure potion who can save all humanity from rusting.
At first I feel doubt because I never heard studio "OZ" but after I see the Director of this project I feel relieved. It is in the right hand and
...
we can see it through first 3 eps. It is wild and strange but we get absorbed to the story. We get to see and know Bisco and Milo better with their action and driven purpose for the story. We also get some big mushroom action that very refreshing.
I hope the series get more wilder in the future, I expect more after I watch the trailer. I need to see more Mushroom Guardian and the hidden villain that bring post-apocalyptic situation to the series. I hope the series get better in the future. If you want to see a whole strange new refreshing anime. You might get it from this series.

Takahashi Rie is VA of Ninym it is enough reason to follow this series. And the VA of Wein is the VA of Kojiro too in the series of Orient that airing in this season you might want to check that series too.
I just hope this series is better version of Realist Hero, and it teach other author that you don't need to have transported heroes to lead good story. It is enough of isekai protagonist.
After eps 3 drop I am afraid this series will not the same as 2 first eps. I mean from this point the story it will only get
...
thicker, because the introduction of Lowel the princess from empire. Thicker means might be more serious and boring and less comedy. What I think the biggest strength of this series is the comedy and the miss-understanding of Vain subordinates. Like when Vain try to lead the first war and try to guard the gold mine. And if it change in the future to unfold the mystery it might be loose.
We rarely get MC like Wein who smart and funny but down to earth. It is like to watch Keima from "The World of God Only Knows"or Senku from "dr Stone" or Sora from "No Game No Life". I don't want to see Wein turn out to be char like Kirito that overpower. They need to maintain it as comedy series, we want to see more miss-understanding in the future and the unfold of Ninym background.
I hope this turn out to be good series. I enjoy the comedy and I want to see more. The reason why Wein act like that. How Wein will use his tactic to win more in the future. How he can retire from being leader of his country.

I guess the community get what they wanted. The story of aspiring doll-artisan with big trauma meet girl who want try to cosplay to her fav char but cannot make her own costume.
It is the actual culture of anime community, the enjoyment to become what you want to be. It is like Rumbel Garanndoll or Oreimo but of course it is better. It is easy to understand, relatable to introvert person and not too heavy in anime industry. It is just normal people and his otaku friend.
The comedy in the series is acceptable and it is actually funny. We get a lot of
...
miss understanding but it is normal because Gojo and Kitagawa is two kind of opposite spectrum. What normal in Kitagawa life is new experience to Gojo. It is like we watch two people who continue to think and adapt. They will become closer if they continue to communicate like in eps 3.
This series is easy 8 for me. We get the comedy, slice of life, great art, catchy music and also they called "fan service". But it is normal, they are in high school, the puberty, the love and the flavor of youth is still strong. If you don't like this series because too much exposure of fan service then you should watch another series.
In conclusion this series is fun to watch. The story is good and easy to follow, the art is great and of course you will see Gojo growth. I hope they make it right to end of the series. And maybe the rating/review will change again.

I will edit my review after the airing of final eps. But for now if you want to watch this series because of Magi (the same author) don't expect too much of this series. The problem in this series is the pacing of story. The actual adventure just start from eps 4, in in the three first episode you will only get the vague explanation of Bushi Band and Demon itself. We get the chance to see Takeda Band (Naotora Takeda) in action but it is not happening cause YOU NEED TO SEE SOME NAMELESS BUSHIDO in action.
I haven't read the manga but you miss
...
the chance to grab viewers attention if you waste 3 eps just to introduce Musashi, Kojiro and Naotora. In the Magi series they change a bit of the story to make it more appealing, so after we watch several eps we want to see more of the story. But this time we get to see all of the RGB main cast in eps 4.
I know this review seem like a rant, but it is that I felt after watch 4 eps. I have a big hope of this series and maybe I just go a head to read the manga if this series doesn't bring justice for the adaptation. I want to see the action, unfold the mysteries and see the journey of our MC. So I hope even if you see the low score of this series you keep supporting this series. There is a big chance we won't get Magi season 3, but maybe if this series is good enough they will reconsider to adapting Shinobu Ohtaka main series like Magi and Sinbad.
In conclusion I will finished the journey. I just hope the series will get better from this point. We get so hype in the opening to see some more action and another great supporting cast. But if it doesn't work maybe it is time to read the original source.
And maybe if you new haven't check the Magi and adventure of Sinbad. You should watch the series. It is GREAT SERIES.

Ni no Kuni it means Second Country or Country of Two, I just search it on google. If you want to watch this series because you like the game, maybe you don't need to watch the movie. I read people online throw a rant because they compare it to the game. But if you just like me who not play the game and just happen to find this movie, you should consider to watch this.
First of all this movie is Isekai anime (transported to another world) as title say it is the story about two world that intertwine or you can say two side of
...
same coin. So if anything happen in the other world it will affect this world too. I can say this series put the Isekai in the right track. Not unlike your other random Isekai, this time we have reason to follow our two MC, Yuu and Haru as the way finder to save Kotona and princess Asha.
The story is about Yuu and Haru witnessing Kotona (Haru girlfriend get stabbed by random people). Haru who panic just try to lift Kotona and bring her to hospital, but because he got panic he almost get hit by truck. Luckily Yuu fortunate enough to save both of his friend but he and Haru got transferred to other world.
Filled with unexpected event Yuu and Haru got separated from Kotona. So they decide to find Kotona but only find it Princess Asha is the splitting image of Kotona. Kotona get stabbed in their original world and the princess Asha got curse with curse dagger too. Coincidence? I think not. So what will happen if Yuu and Haru help princess Asha, find out by watching these movie.
Even with your friends and experiencing the same event sometime we arrived at different conclusion. This also happen to Yuu and Haru so they choose different path. But what is right and wrong when you experiencing this kind of event.
In conclusion I enjoy watching this movie. It have good story and unexpected surprise. Maybe some of event it doesn't make sense. But it is the beauty of Fantasy anime. It can be wild, it can be strange and it is from POV of our MC.
