Azur Lane is a popular mobile game by Yongshi and Manjuu, featuring many girls based on historical war ships. It's kind of similiar to Girls' Frontline and Kantai Collection.

I too, played Azur Lane back in 2018 for.. maybe a month? I wasn't too fond of it, as the story didn't interest me that much tbh
And it's the same with the anime. The story doesn't catch me.

Furthermore I wouldn't really recommend this anime to anyone who DID NOT play the game or is familiar with the Azur Lane series.
A friend of mine who doesn't know much about Azur Lane told me that he understood nearly nothing ... in the first episode alone. There are many references, jokes and whatnot in there you won't understand without game knowledge.
There's also the explanation of the world / how the world works, which falls a bit short. While they do explain it, some things are just left out which is a bit disappointing.

However the art and music are amazing, from what I saw in those 4 episodes. But I will drop it at this point.
I believe that, the more you play the game, the more you would enjoy the anime. People who check out the anime because they wanted to see how it looks before starting the game should just play the game and come back to this at a later date.

So first off, if I were not a novel reader, I would have dropped this sh*t long ago
I don't see how this could've been worse.

The story telling is way too fast and leaves so much things out. They pushed 4 volumes of this great novel into 13 episodes. And wow, it was amazing. Amazing how something can be this atrocious.

The animations suck. They just suck like wth even the characters' steps look weird. And I'm not even talking about the huge amount of CGI here. Because that would be a -10/10. The whole focus was on the fights. They left out so many scenes but ... of course for the fights that make my eyes bleed they take their time and waste whole episodes on it.

If you didn't read the novel you will have trouble understanding any character development because none is fully adapted. Just read the novel honestly, and don't watch the anime. It will only ruin your novel experience

Kimetsu no Yaiba already is THE Anime 2019 for me.
It got an amazing story. It got overwhelmingly beautiful artwork. The music is just wonderful, it tears me up. The characters are all, well most of them, very likeable and I couldn't help but giving this the top spot in my favorite anime.

Kimetsu no Yaiba's story isn't completed yet. There's much more to come and look forward to. It pains me that I read the manga tbh because I'm not able to enjoy all what's to come with the beautiful animations blind. But I still enjoyed it.

Art and Sound are so amazing, creating such an ... amazing atmosphere, it's unbelievable. The animations, especially in fights when they use their breaths, are the most beautiful drawings I've ever seen. I get eye- and eargasm everytime I see and hear the opening alone.

And on top of that the characters are all epic as hell. Ofc not all are unique and special and simply the best, but they are great nevertheless. There are some very unique ones tho and basically everyone has some kind of deep backstory.
I have to say that I found some characters in the anime pretty annoying, I started reading the manga after ep 25 and got to love most of the chars I disliked in the anime, but have to mention that I disliked some by 'anime only'.

They also juggled between Action and Comedy pretty well and I would say the comedy is, even if not the best, really good. It's not comedy focused anyways but still gets you laughing everytime

Nothing but a 10/10 from me. I love this anime in every single aspect, if not for some characters.

This was a pretty well done finisher I'd say. It's not over yet tho to be exact

I mean, anyone who is familiar with Fairy Tail, should be able to pretty much foresee what happens because it's Fairy Tail after all.
You won't miss any of the Fairy Tail cliches, like it or not.
That also means the music is hella amazing as always tho and the characters are pretty fun to watch.

The story was all in all pretty interesting, they also had a nice finisher at the end. However, the pacing was kinda bad sometimes I'd say.
And while the story was pretty interesting, it's like I ... already mentioned pretty predictable because it basically reuses already seen plots and all.

So overall a 7/10 by me, anyone who likes Fairy Tail should watch it, naturally.

Reaaally great Spin-Off
After Index III was o so disappointing this really hits the spot

The story was pretty exceptional as expected for a Toaru series. And of course if we're talking about accelerator, the characters- no, the villains need to be completely crazy and insane. Such twisted mind sh** and sorta psychological drama is just what I expected from this.

It focused pretty much on fights tho as there was some fight alnost every episode and some even taking a whole episode. Basically just showcasing how OP Accelerator is, except for the final fight, in which he rather played the role of an OP sidekick

Music was outstanding ... ofc and animations were pretty sick too. Esther was a pretty nice addition too for this, the whole story resolved around her after all.
And it had pretty much an open end so there's more to come. We now have Imagine Breaker's, Railgun's and Accelerator's story in the Toaru series. Makes me wonder how the novel is written.
Overall a great Spin-Off. 8/10

As some may know I'm not really a fan of the DanMachi Anime. And that didn't change in season 2.
They moved away from the 'Dungeon' theme, which I found most enjoyable in this show soo thats already a minus for me.

While animations, sound etc were fair, I still didn't come to enjoy this. I don't like the characters, idk why but I don't like them. They have somethung to them which makes me not liking them. Some are good ngl, but especialy Bell, the MC, is such a wimpy figure through s1 and s2 alike. He played a bit more hero in season 2 ... tho.
I heard from novel readers that this is all build up for later when he gets badass and all. But if the buildup takes over 24 20min episodes, then that's just bad.
The story was paced pretty bad too, seems like thats the fault of JC Staff, according to novel readers again. The different 'arcs' were so uninteresting and had no connection whatsoever. One was over and the next one just starts.. Even if it is better by novel, the anime just isnt. 5/10

"The longer the name, the better the show"
A popular quote but it doesn't really apply to 'Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki se Ni-ka Kougeki nk Okaasan wa Suki Desu ka'.
One hell of a tongue breaker

Done by J.C. Staff so aninations are overall decent, as expected. Sound and Art is fine too but the core here lies in story and characters.

After seeing the final episode, my rating changed from 4/10 to 6/10. After this ep everything else seemed more like a big build up for what's to come. Everything makes a lot more sense "storywise" because you actually feel like there's more to it than "adding ... girls to the harem which all get overshadowed by the milf".
The Characters were pretty hilarious I'd say. They aren't really anything special, but with such a setting it all comes down to a kinda awkward comedy. When you're a teenage boy you can probably relate the most to this show and that's why my Score changed by 2.

Machikado Mazoku was an Anime I enjoyed way too much.
Compared to JK no Mudazukai this season, the comedy is definitely not as good. But it was still very enjoyable. The characters are so well done, even if they don't show any development except for the main characters.

This show basically revolves around the bond of Yuko and Momo while every other character is nothing but a sidecharacter without any spotlight. Mikan would be the only exception here but she too is not that an important character and feels more like support for the story.

The story however, is not paced that well. It's kind off all over ... the place since it starts with a story beginning and then switches between story and ''filler'' all the time throughout the show. So much that it's hard to actually recognize what really is 'story' here.
The enjoyment part doesn't suffer on that tho. Despite the mediocre pacing, the parts are really fun to watch, Shaimko alone is so hilarious.
Without Shamiko this show would be worse ngl. Shamiko is the core in this whole show and keeps it alive with comedy and waifu material, while the other characters add in more to the comedy. Momo brings in the drama, especially at the end where the show gets a bit more serious, but still keeps up the usual silly jokes etc

So this show doesn't have that much going for it, except the Comedy that may or may not suit your tastes and Shamiko, where I can't imagine how you could not like her.
In my case, I enjoyed it. But nothing more. It was not a series where I could think about future plot or interpret too much into something, since it just never came to it.
Solely for the purpose of amusement, it's a good Anime. 8/10 from me

Isekai Cheat Magician is probably the worst show of this season and one of the worst isekai anime ever made.
I will start with the good points, which were the Art and the Music but these alone can't safe a show.

On top of being generic as hell, it was straight out bad. The characters were bland, the pacing is off and the story itself is predictable and poor.

The plot is crap- no use arguing about it.
The MC has no limits at all. He starts overpowered with flaws and gets stronger and stronger, but not with some hard training, no, just by adding more to his 'cheats'. ...
His harem has no limits too. There just keep appearing new girls out of nowhere. So many that some just disappeared throughout the series without ever being mentioned again.

On top of that, everytime there could've been something like character development.. they just said the same content again and again after like every fight with different phrasing.
If this was purely an advertisement for the LN, they did a good job in scaring me off.
Something around 3.5/10 is the best I can give this. Maybe 4/10 because of the good artstyle and nice music. Btw, while the artstyle itself is rather good imo, the animations are mediocre at most.

So even if I'm trying not to compare it with other isekai, if I would the score would drop again I guess, I just can't give this a good score. 3-4/10 is the most I can give.

Solid continuation of Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san

The continuation focused a bit more on romance and other sidecharacters, which was pretty enjoyable, but Nishikata and Takagi got most of the screentime obviously

The OP and ED were pretty good and the OSTs in the last ep were really cunning too. Great music!
Well the art stayed pretty much the same as in season 1 so not much to say about it. Some animations looked a bit awkward but it was acceptable most of the time

Anyone who enjoyed season 1 should definitely check out season 2, they made a good job featuring other character and the romance development, ... while not cutting lose on the teasing bits, which were wholesome to watch

Overall a solid continuation of Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san. 8/10
