I told myself not to write anything about this anime but i couldnt help it and wrote in the forum, now writing here.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita Kara has a strange setting. You cant really find a similar setting in any other anime. Thats why it made it really interesting and unique at the beginning. But as the anime continued, i started to see many cliches. There were love triangles that didnt contribute to the story ( it did contribute something, but it wasnt expressed well ) there was some school cliches that you can find in any shoujo anime. Thats why i got ... bored in some episodes, or i watched it with any significant enjoyment. But overally i liked watching it, the story wasnt something i will remember for years but it was something that i could watch to spend some free time.
But there is one problem.
This anime *could* be an anime i would remember for years.
I think the main problem was the characters. I liked the characters and i think they were interesting. But it was only at first. There was Chigusa, the funny boy. I really wanted to see more from him, but after the first half of the anime he was mostly a side character that was there to fill the scene. I really wanted to see the relationship between Chigusa and Kurumi. Also Kurumi had a potential too but they mentioned about her character only in one episode (and not in the entire episode), after that she was a side character too. Shou, the captain the *supposedly* gentleman... he was nice but after some time he just felt like an empty character.
Asagi was a cute girl. Kohaku seemed like an okay character from beginning to the end. They didnt make her empty or enhance her character but she had some character development.
Hitomi did have nice character development. But i should be honest at first she seemed like a boring character even though i like silent characters.
I think my favorite character was Yuito.
The anime revolves around the characters, because the characters started not to feel good after some point, the anime also started to feel not good enough. To sum up, the anime had really good potential and really good setup ( the first episodes ) but then rushed many things, skipped character development for many characters thats why felt incomplete in may ways.
Everything was going on like this and the last three episodes started...
They again had some issues but i really like the message that they tried to give at the end. I like how the anime was more like Anohana rather than a classic shoujo anime. I really felt the emotions in the last episode. I really cant describe how it made me feel. I hadnt been this emotional after an anime for a long time.
Thats another reason why i am angry at this anime.
It could be much much better, it wasted its resources though still made me feel this much. I cant imagine how i would feel if this anime didnt have this many flaws.
Also even though ending was successful, it had something missing which devastated me emotionally. I think it was a flaw though they shouldnt leave it like that. I cant tell what it is here since it would be a big spoiler.

Story-8 (great potential but mostly wasted)
Characters-6 (again good potential but wasted)
Enjoyment-6

I need to add a new section (lol) I think the best part of the anime was the relationship between Yuito and Hitomi and what their problems were, how they managed to overcome them. I have to add this though, even these had the same issues i talked above but less.
Yuito-Hitomi Parts-8

Art was great. Especially the sceneries were awesome. Not as good as violet evergarden though.
Art-9

There were some musics i liked but there wasnt anything outstanding
Edit: Later i started to love the ending and the opening music
Sound-7

I was going to give 6 overally but after watching the latest episodes i decided to give 7
Overall-7

*Spoiler Free Review*

First of all i need to mention that this review will be a review of all the seasons so i will post this to here and to the sixth season's review section.

When i first started watching Natsume Yuujinchou, it felt kind of boring. It was cute and all but i am not a person who watches episodal anime that much. I felt like i would drop it if it continued like that. Because every episode Natsume met with a new youkai and gave their name or helped them. And i found it a bit boring. But i kept watching. At the end of ... season one, i got used to how the story goes on and i got used to the characters.
Then i started watching the second season. I realized that i actually started liking it.
And when i started watching the third season, i loved it.
It probably wasnt because the third season had better quality than the second season or the first season. It was probably because, you get to know some characters during the first two seasons, you get to know the whole town and the anime makes you feel like you are a part of that world now. You feel the characters feelings as if they are you friends, you feel the sadness in the air, you feel the happiness...
So yes, it started slowly but it was done like that to be able to have a really good setting. And when you get into it, you love it.
Also when they were finished with introducing the characters and the setting, they started telling a main story too. And the main story interested me a lot.

After i started liking it, i loved watching all the episodes. The fifth season had some boring episodes in my opinion but only "some".

Natsume Yuujinchou had a really calming atmosphere. There were many episodes i watched with a smile on my face. There were many episodes that made me forget my saddness. And there were many episodes that made me really emotional too. Natsume meets with many youkai and has a journey with many youkai. Of course you can not relate to all of the youkai's feelings but there were many times i related a lot and felt like crying a lot. And also when they became happy, there were a lot of times i became happy too.
Story-8

The art develops a lot. There are 3 years between the first season and the second season. Also there is 4 years between the fourth season and the fifth season. Thats why the art gets a lot better in the sixth season and its really beautiful. Especially the sixth season's opening is a feast for one's eyes.
Art-9

I really liked many of the openings and the endings except the first season's. Also the insert songs are great imo too. There is especially one song called Haru wo shiraseru mono. Whenever i hear it, i feel so many emotions inside.
Sound-8

I really like nearly all of the characters. I even like Reiko and want to see her a lot more.
*Natsume is the best boy*
Characters-9

So to sum up, i loved Natsume Yuujinchou. If you would like to watch something relaxing you should deff give it a chance. And dont drop it in the first season.

Btw my 9 starts is for the whole series
1st season-7stars
2nd season-8 stars
3rd season-9 stars
4th season-9 stars
5th season- 8 stars
6th season-9 stars

*Spoiler Free Review*

While watching this anime i couldnt get off these things out of my mind:

-Who is this person?
-What was his/her name again?
-When was thid person even introduced?
-Why are they doing this?
-Why did this person become evil?
-Why did this person become good?
... -Why did this person change sides?
-Why doesnt anyone react to anything?
-WHYYY?!?!!!!?

I didnt read the manga but i have heard that they tried to adapt 120 chapters of the manga into an anime which has 12 episodes.
Like tf?
I knew that they would have to skip lots of things because of this but i hadnt imagined this much...
They skipped lots of important things. Especially because i didnt read the manga i couldnt understand many things or even if i understood what was happening it felt so illogical.
There were many times i also couldnt feel sad or happy even though something emotional was happening because everything was so rushed.
Also they didnt really mention the time skips so it seems like everything happens in a week or something like that but it deffinitely doesnt!
It feels like they tried to tell something that happens in a whole year in only a few weeks.

Actually the story was interesting and at first i told myself that i should read the manga after this to be able to be satisfied with the story. But now i dont want to read anything at all because i just got tired of the rushed story.

The only reason i am giving 5/10 is i guess
the osts were okay. They didnt really add many new insert songs. I love ling tosite sigure. The opening wasnt a masterpiece but i liked it.
The art was okay but i preferred the first and second season's art a lot more. And i liked the characters from the previous series and it was nice to see them again.
There were a few scenes that were well done too but only a few.
Thats all i liked about this anime.
I would have given 4 or 3 out of 10 if i didnt like tokyo ghoul in general.

By the way i actually liked the first season of tokyo ghoul:re. It still wasnt perfect but it was ok. I wish this season was at least as good as the first season.

*Spoiler Free Review*

God Eater stayed in my "plan to watch list" for a really long time. It was mostly because it was a CGI anime and also i thought that it had an interesting but ordinary story after reading the synopsis of it.
A week ago i finally started watching it. It started like an ordinary shounen anime but i think everything about the anime developed through the episodes.

First of all the animation didnt irritate me at all. I even liked it. After watching a few episodes i often forgot the fact that i was watching a CGI anime. I still prefer non CGI anime but ... i think this was also really well done.
Art: 9/10

Secondly yes, the story was an ordinary story. God Eater takes place in the future. In its world there are creatures that are called "aragami". Aragami eat everything and kills humans too. Humans try to survive. There are people called God Eaters. They are specialized soldiers who kill aragami.
Simple story right? But how it was told was really interesting i think. There were also some plot twists especially in the last episodes. Action scenes were nice but the anime wasnt all about action scenes. The characters were interesting. Many of them developed well. I felt bonded with many of the characters and got really sad because of some deaths. The only character who couldnt really satisfy me was alisa. Even though i thought she would be the main heroine in the first episodes and even though i thought she would have great character development, after a few episodes she became a side character who barely does something and she could never be able to get an important role after that. Some important things happened about her but i couldnt feel really satisfied with her character in general.
Story: 7-8/10
Characters: 8/10

I didnt really like the opening or ending musics but i didnt hate them either.
I LOVED the insert songs.
Sound: 9/10

I thought about giving 8/10 overally but especially the last episodes were great in my opinion thats why i am giving 9/10.
I know this is adapted from a game thats why it probably wont have a second season but i would love to see it.

Well, this is my first anime review here... It will probably not be spoiler free. But i will warn you before telling spoilers.

Maquia starts with a really calming atmosphere. With its wonderful animation and colors you will be atracted by it so quickly. And the story also goes on like that. Even if the story-telling is kind of slow, its so beautiful that you watch it with a smile on your face.
The world, the interactions of the characters and how they are not forced at all but so true, all of them make you love the anime.
But there was one point when i kind ... of felt lost. I guess it was around 1 hours and 20 minutes after the movie started. The story started to feel so rushed. Even if the rest of the movie was really emotional, i couldnt really feel that. Maybe i liked the first 1 hour and 20 minutes really much that i had really big expectations from its ending too.
I mean i still liked it and kind of felt the emotions but it didnt live up to my expectations.
Also there were some points which were left unexplained.
*Contains spoiler after this point*

Like was Maquia really pregnant? If she was, from who? Some people thought she was pregnant from the prince but did the royal family really managed to kidnap maquia? Lang told Ariel that the royal family was searching for Maquia but he never talked about them managing to capture her. Also if they managed to kidnap her, how could she escape from the castle after getting pregnant.
I dont think she was kidnapped by the royal family but instead maybe the other people from Iorph took her with them ? But if thats the case how did she get pregnant ??? Maybe it was some kind of a metaphor but they never explained it. If it was a metaphor what was it about ? If she was really pregnant again the same questions... Also what happened to the baby? Maquia would care about her baby a lot like she did for Ariel. But nothing was shown about it.
The other thing that bothered me was Leila's behaviours...
She thought about her child a lot and wanted to see her a lot but then left her without even talking with her... She just saw her and went away.
Then medmel said "oh my mother is a beautiful person..."
Why would she think something like that? Her mother just left her after smiling to her for a second.
To sum up the events that happened during the war felt so rushed and some felt so nonsense.
I also couldnt understand Ariel's behaviours to his mom. Its really normal that he feels so complicated but i felt so angry towards him because of not really keeping his promise. He didnt really need to protect her but he should have been by her side. At least till he married to Dita. The conversation between Land and Ariel kind of made me forget my anger but still i felt disappointed.
The ending was beautiful again
But because of the nonsense things that happened before the ending i couldnt enjoyed it fully.
Still i want to give 8 out of 10 because of the first 1 hour and 20 minutes and because of the last 5 minutes.
*No more spoilers after this point*

I think this anime could have been much better. But its not bad at all. I wish they hadnt rushed some scenes and i wish they had shown more about some things.
