More slice of life with some action in between.

Story 7/10
We have some of the worst and one of the best episodes yet. At no point is it bad, but I wouldn't exactly say that every episode is good either. The pacing has a few hiccups. When you know they cut content it becomes quite obvious.

Characters 8/10
We get a bunch of character development. Some of it is boring but still feels quite integral to the story.

Art 9/10
Same as the first part of season two, a messy start but then it stabilizes itself.
...
Sound 8/10
Maybe the most boring season yet when it comes to sound. Voice acting is the same, but I'd say the music is definitely worse than before. It's still great, but you can't praise it when you know how good it could be.

Enjoyment 8/10
Rough start but later episodes brought it back to greatness.

Overall 8/10
I can't stress enough how mixed I think the quality of the episodes was.

The series suffers from the same problem as Urasawa's other works, it goes way past the point it should've ended at.

Story 8/10
The story starts slow, but I think it's pretty safe to say that the first 60 or so chapters truly are a masterpiece, until we have a time skip and it's kinda like the story just has a new start. It's still pretty darn good, but then it drags and it drags and it drags until a new time skip and at this point you'll just be fed up with it

Characters 9/10
The characters are just incredible, each of the characters in the main group ... have their distinct personalities that are all really well written, sadly as the story starts dragging it also starts introducing plot points that take away from the characters. Also, the later a character is introduced, they're just that much less interesting.

Art 9/10
Even though the art is overall just great and not actually that incredible, there's just something about Urasawa's art style that really speaks to me.

Enjoyment 8/10
Declines as the story progresses.

Overall 8.5 ≈8/10
Overall really good. If you enjoy Urasawa's work, this is a must read. If not, this might not be for you, since the story is structured the same way as his other work. I would still recommend this since it was by far my favorite of Urasawa's work.

Typical JoJo, no different than the other parts, if you like JoJo, this will be an extremely fun ride. I recommend reading the earlier parts before this, as a lot of the fun of this part comes from references to earlier parts. With that, I'll go into this review with the expectation the reader is familiar with JoJo.


Story 9/10
It's basically the same formula that every JoJo part uses, we have a setup for a story and the journey is disrupted with fights, fights, and more fights. This part has some really dull stands and also some of the most interesting and fun stands. The same ... incredibly unique humor as before.

Characters 9/10
Really fun characters with extremely creative stands.

Art 9/10
JoJo has colored versions of the manga, which enhances the reading experience by so much. Overall great art but when it gets detailed it's just beautiful.

Enjoyment 9/10
Really enjoyable all the way through, at the start it's somewhat confusing at times but when the story really starts rolling it just doesn't stop.

Overall 9/10

Just a silly Power Rangers parody. At least that's what I treat it as.

Story 7/10
So far, this has been more fun driven than story driven. We have an extremely fun premise, and just run with it. I honestly hope the story doesn't try to get too serious.

Characters 6/10
They feel more like parody than actual characters. Some are just annoying, but most are fun.

Art 6/10
The most inconsistent art and animation I have seen. We'll go from perfectly fine to good to mediocre to disgustingly bad 3DCG. Most of the animation falls into the perfectly fine category, but the inconsistency is just jarring.
...
Sound 9/10
Suprisingly, the sound is incredibly well done. Great voice acting, good environmental sounds and to top it off incredibly fun and well made music.

Enjoyment 8/10
As said, this is mostly fun driven so it is really enjoyable. Even with how bad the animation can get it doesn't affect the enjoyment negatively.

Overall 7.5 ≈8/10
Just a great watch, all about fun.

It feels as though the series itself doesn't even know what it is about.

Story 5/10
A mixture of comedy, and serious moments that just don't mesh together. This would be perfectly fine as a goof off series, but it tries to take itself serious time and time again, failing to do so every time. We do spend a considerable amount of time getting to know our cast, which makes me hopeful that this was more of an introductory season.

Characters 7/10
A really fun, but forgettable bunch. The characters were the only thing that kept me watching.

Art 8/10
The animation and art are pretty much what you can expect ... from bones, simply great. There is a bunch of visual comedy with changing art styles, and they kinda nailed it.

Sound 8/10
Good voice acting and environmental sounds. The music is really good and fits the atmosphere.

Enjoyment 7/10
Enjoyable with a bit of boring on the side.

Overall 6.5 ≈6/10
A decent watch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.

An anime about mecha and politics, that can't seem to do either of them right.

Story 6/10
Endless talking with a minuscule amount of story sprinkled in between. The only purpose this endless talk seems to have is to introduce us to the characters, but this could be done in a lot less time with how little personality the characters have. World building works surprisingly well and is somewhat interesting. Once we're done with the basic world building, the story tries to get deep, but instead takes a route so generic I didn't even know it could be done.

Characters 5/10
Most have a nonexistent personality, others are generic. ... Our main girl Lena is okayish but still not well enough written to praise.

Art 8/10
Usually quite good. In a few scenes, characters were visibly worse animated. The scenery and background often great.

Sound 8/10
Good voice acting and environmental sounds and great music.

Enjoyment 7/10
Even with how much there is pointless talking scenes, and not so good drama, I couldn't find myself getting bored even in the slightest. I also must say that if I'd watched this a couple years back I would've most likely loved this.

Overall 6/10
A totally fine watch. I most likely just grew out of liking this kind of series.

Season two of Mushoku Tensei slows the story down and takes more of a slice of life approach.

Story 7/10
Although the slice of life is fun, I wouldn't exactly call it a great story. The whole season basically focuses on teen romance and emotions filled with slice of life to stretch out the story.

Characters 6/10
The characters are the same as before. Rudy is still a pervert, but seems to be taking a turn for the better, hopefully. New characters are rather meaningless.

Art 9/10
Pretty much the same as before, maybe slightly worse overall. The first few episodes were filled with inconsistencies and messiness, but once we entered ... the school setting, all of these problems seemed to disappear.

Sound 9/10
Same quality as before. I miss the way the earlier seasons had the opening playing on top of the episode. Current opening fits the slice of life aspect quite well. Would've preferred if they changed Rudy's voice actor now that he's older. Feels weird that his voice doesn't change as he grows.

Enjoyment 8/10
Enjoyable slice of life is really all you can say. All excitement and tension is gone, but I still had fun with it.

Overall 8/10
Overall a welcome change. We basically see Rudy finally taking a break from all the adventuring and focusing more on himself.

Season two of Beastars does basically everything the same as the first season.

Story 8/10
We get to see the amazingly intriguing animal society of Beastars again. This time the story is split in two we have Legosi's story of drama and struggles and then we have Luis' rather meaningless story. The drama portion with Legosi is just as fun to watch as in the first season, and luckily takes up most of the season. We also have some not so great action again this season.

Characters 9/10
No noticeable changes in the quality of character writing.

Art 9/10
The 3DCG and camerawork are top-notch, at least in anime standards. 2D ... models of characters look far better this time.

Sound 9/10
The same as last season, just amazing. However, there weren't many new songs, which was a real bummer.

Enjoyment 9/10
Just as bingeable as last season. You just want to keep watching.

Overall 8.5 ≈9/10
Feels like I could've just copied my review of the first season here, with how similar the story plays out.

I didn't expect an animal society to be this interesting.

Story 8/10
Great drama with some not so great action on the side. What truly makes the story good is the world building. The dynamic between herbivores and carnivores or even the dynamic between different species' is incredibly well written. The world works in such a way that nothing really feels out of place or illogical, the setting is just perfect. The actual story also starts off amazing and stays so most of the way through, but nearing the end there is some not so well thought out action, leaving a feeling like it doesn't belong.

Characters 9/10
The ... same as with the world building the characters are super well thought out. Their personalities reflect their species and they are all in all well written, but everyone is heavily outshined by our protagonist Legosi, who is super fun to follow through his struggles.

Art 9/10
The best use of 3DCG I've witnessed, to the point where the 2D models of the characters are just ugly in comparison. The camera work is also really well done. It feels like a lot of passion and care was poured into the making of this anime.

Sound 10/10
Great voice acting with everything else pretty much perfected. The music is just on point and environmental sounds couldn't be better.

Enjoyment 9/10
So enjoyable you'd just want to binge it all at once. This also has my personal favorite anime opening, I don't think anything will ever top the puppet animation for me.

Overall 8.5 ≈9/10
Starts off maybe a bit too strong making it hard to keep the same quality in story. Still incredible, but the last few episodes were a bit iffy compared to the rest.

At first a basic yet exciting shonen, which later builds into something amazing.

Story 8/10
Really beginner friendly and catered towards a younger audience, the story has its lows and highs. At it's best, it rivals some of the best series out there, but a lot of the time it's just mind fodder. The world building is great and the comedy is far more enjoyable than in the anime.

Characters 10/10
The characters are my personal favorite part of the series. A lot of the main cast aren't that amazing, but many of the side-characters are just top notch writing. And even the less excitable characters have their ... moments to shine, even if they are forgotten again after said moment. I was honestly more excited about character development than action.

Art 10/10
Stunning visually, it's just so clean and full of detail.

Enjoyment 9/10
When I first got into anime, this was one of my favorite series, but as I grew, my interest in the series faded. This is to say a younger audience will absolutely love this. I might adore the series so much, partly due to nostalgia, but the manga somehow succeeded in sparking a new love for the series.

Overall 9/10
I held off reviewing the series for a while since it's hard to even say why I like it so much, but I finally cracked because I just can't recommend it enough. Also, I'd personally choose the manga over the anime.
