Reading manga is more fun than writing them. 
Tatsuki Fujimoto's one-shot "Look Back" is a short and good read with the same tatsuki Fujimoto art style from "chainsawman" and "firepunch." Simple, with chaotic strokes and scribbles, makes it a unique and pleasing-to-read art style. "Look Back" has themes of friendship, guilt, and the ambition of drawing manga. It is a fairly short read, and I suggest you check it out. I liked its unique story, beautiful artwork, and characters. My only downside is that it feels kind of rushed. That due to it being so short, but on the other hand, it is well ... made, and I had fun reading it.

Family is more determined more by behavior than blood.

Spy x Family greatly depicts that aspect. I am really blown away by this series and this anime actually took me by surprise. I have heard a lot of positive stuff about it and ended up watching it until the current standpoint of episode 3 and would like to give you people a quite detailed review of it and my experience while watching it.
So basically Spy x Family’s plot more or less revolves around the highly dangerous spy known as Twilight, which has to build up a fake family to proceed on his further missions, while ... also trying to not draw in any necessary attention or suspicion towards him. Now known as Loid Forger he adopts a young six year old pink haired child named Anya with speciall telephony abilities and later marries his fake with Yor that is an assassin in disguise. All of this for his mission to get his child into an extremely prestigious children’s school and try to find and kill his original target there.

Characters:
But what really makes this serious so great is its unique, interesting and well written characters.

Loid Forger:
Twilight now also known as Loid Forger is a young, smart and really skilled character known to be one of the best spies in the country. He is really good in switching his appearance and putting on different facades as well as to act into the role of different characters. So he jumps into whatever role is needed and after successfully done his job and its main purpose served he disposes of his old identity. You can clearly see he is really dedication and commitment towards his organization, as well as to the extent of doing practically anything, even building up a own family for a mission shows how deeply loyal he himself is towards his country. Loid tries to serve them the upmost with his abilities in each and every way that is needed from him. It is actually quite hard to relate to him, because of his drastic social behaviors but in return even more admired. Loid plays the father role of little Anya. He depicts a hero in the course of this show in which the viewer wants him to be happier and more fulfilled with his life than before.

Anya Forger:
Anya is the adopted child from Loid and later also Yor that has an extremely strong special ability/superpower, in which she can read the minds of people also called “telepathy”. She is a little six year old girl on the constant search for attention and starving for entertainment. She is just the cutes and most adorable character I’ve seen in anime till this point in time and gives the whole anime a wholesome feeling. She is in my opinion more or less the main character and spotlight in this show, because everything more or less revolves around here. She is in the middle of everything and gets to experience both sides of her parents and practically knows everything because of here telepathy abilities and is really enjoying her time around her new family. The opening and ending also further put Anya in the middle point of the series.

Yor Forger:
Now Yor Forger but also known under the name of Thorn Princess was a single 27 year old women, that is an assassin in disguise and trained from a young age. You could say she does all the dirty work her employer asks her to do ever since she remembered. After being invited to a party by her work colleagues she has to find a boyfriend/man to go with her. One thing leads to another and she meets Loid and more or less gets engaged with him in an instant of situations and plays the mother role for Anya.
The great characters and its story is really well written, in which everybody is not perfect and has their own massive secrets that they are trying to keep secret from each other and through the help of Anya you can go into the characters and really experience what they are like and what they are thinking at every moment.

Visuals:
These visuals are so freaking good looking; they are firstly outstandingly clean and fluid animations with lots of details and unique character designs. The opening and endings are made out of simplistic drawings and all out of Anyas perspective. Majorly well executed is the adaptation from its manga processor. Every panel is nearly exact animated, which makes a lot of shots of faces really funny and entertaining to watch.

Sound:
As for the soundtrack it has a more mysterious and instrumental type of soundtrack giving it a somewhat anonymous feeling with it. It is somewhat similar to old style crime shows and movies and totally succeeds in that aspect.

Overall:
Spy x Family is an extremely well written comedy, that really manages to make rather darker an more serious topics funny and exactly delivers a perfect balance between seriousness and comedy. I would recommend this anime to a lot of people for one while watching it you generally just have the entire time a smile on the face and in addition a good laugh with it. As well as looking forward to the next couple episodes and how things are going to evolve.

9/10

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, also called Aharen is Indecipherable is just so adorable.

The series is a school comedy kinda slice of life anime, that is really relaxing after a hard day of work or if you don't know what to watch a good series.

Plot and Main-Characters:
The show revolves about the school life of our main characters Aharen and Raido generally two really quiet and conversed people and how they experience daily events in school together, while strengthening there bond of friendship. Aharen is very cute , flimsy and overall very adorable. While everybody in this show is friendly and you get really good along ... with everybody makes this a quite enjoyable watch in my opinion.

Sound and Visuals:
The entire series has a calming atmosphere with little and quiet soundtrack with some good sound effects as well as a just adorable ending with Aharen dancing reminding me of Chika out of kaguya-sama.
The visuals including the animation style is simplistic but well done. It portrays is a more clean and modern anime style.

Overall I really enjoyed Aharen- san wa Hakarenai till this moment and it's a really relaxing and freaking wholesome anime to pick up and watch when you have some free time to spare or don't really fell so good to bring a smile on your face. :)

small spoilers!
Shuumatsu No Harem or also called World's End Harem is one of those animes that you might not think are considered to be an anime but more of an hentai but still manage to drop into the anime category with huge tons of ecchiness and censorship.
I myself quite enjoyed watching World's End Harem.

So basically the story revolves around our main protagonist Mizuhara Reito waking up in the year 2040 after his 5 year long cryosleep trying to help him with his diagnosed illness "Cellular Sclerosis" just to witness that while the time he was sleeping the so called MK (Man Killer) Virus ... had killed 99.9% of the world's male population. So he and 4 other men in cryosleep have to save the world from extinct and try to further find out the cases of the Virus.

The series with the different viewpoints of the main characters, as well as all the characters are all unique and have their own personalities, hopes and dreams in this utter disastrous world. They make this show the all interesting. The main character Mizuhara Reito is this innocent truly pure hearted character in this series restraining himself from doing anything with any other girl than his loved and is in the search to find her. He truly receives my respect. But compared to the second main character and third to awaken from cryosleep Doji is in my opinion the best for me in this series. He reminds me of Kaguya from Redo of Healer and is quite a decent character. The Artwork and Sound that is used to portray this anime is alright. Art is not the cleanest but also not the best and the opening is actually good. One problem this series has in my opinion is the rushed ending with just 30 chapters left they could have adapted everything instead of leaving content out and sometimes while watching the anime questions wont get answered and you don't know what, how and who is now going on.

But overall I did enjoy watching this but would not necessary recommend it to others but if then under one circumstance that is to watch the uncensored version.

So Arachnid, a action, horror, dark story about our main protagonist Alice Fuji, a high school student which gets bullied at school and suffers from her uncles abuse at home all changes in a blink of a moment. A professional assassin, which was to kill her uncle takes her with him and teaches her the ways and methods of becoming an assassin herself. The entire manga has a quite darker and tense feeling with it. At first when I started reading it I just read about 10 chapters and left it on hold but after getting back and reading the entire set in a couple ... sessions I would like to give my opinion on this manga. The main and also best executed part of this manga lays in the great artwork. Not only are the characters in each panel well drawn and designed, but also the background and all the shadows are artistically great. The main character has also good character development from starting of by being the weak, shy, bullied innocent girl becoming a strong person capable of making changes. Additionally there's a lot of great action scenes. While reading the story the reader is left in suspense. Moreover there are often unexpected scenes and actions I myself did not expect. What I really found fascinating in Arachnid was the entire power system, with all the different insects and there strengths, which is a really cool idea. While reading I learned quite a bit about different insect and bug species I previously have not known about. Each character in the story represents a different insect species which makes fighting scenes, as well as combat the more better. The only things I did not really like about this manga were the fact that every single character lacks in background information or generally in meaning. It would have been better to add more information, then the reader could understand the different characters better and maybe even identify himself/herself with them. And if there was any background info, it was quite fast paced and not well explained. Sometimes I could not really understand the entire situation. Another fact I didn't like that much, was that the story was short, but also many side characters are not important for the story in fact the story almost only revolves around our main character. But there were also rather slow and considerably boring parts, as well as not fully explained in the manga. Overall I quite enjoyed reading this manga and has a really cool and unique idea, with really clean artwork, but really lacks in story and characters.

So One Room is something completely different than any other anime series I have watched till this date. Let me start of by saying it is quite short anime and easy bingeable. It consists out of 12 episodes with each 4min in length. Unique about One Room is that the whole show is shown in the first person perspective. You the main protagonist, who moved to Tokyo for his job are confronted with 3 characters, your new neighbor Yui, your younger sister Natsuki and your old childhood friend and songwriter Moka. The anime also follows its category of slice of life and has a relaxing ... and calming feel, with quite smooth and again relaxing music. The characters are cute and enjoyable and that is pretty much all. Now in my opinion this show losses a huge amount of its potential being that it had a good and innovative idea, but not well accomplished. For one the main character does not speak nor really interact with the cast but the dialog is mostly just so bad and doesn't make sense, since only one person is always speaking. There is no character development or almost any background information/story regarding the characters. And while watching this anime there where multiple weird ecchi like shots and experiences, that really weren't necessary. Overall I would say this short little anime is ok if you don't really know what you want to do and just sit down and relax a bit, but I would not really recommend it to anybody I know.
