The story of comphet. A classic story of falling in love with your straight best friend.

The characters in this story are beautifully flawed and realistic, and love is approached in a realistic way. None of these relationships are healthy or enviable. They're actually sad when you look at it. But that's reality. Two people who are trash, but they get with each other because they're sexually compatible while not being the worst that the other could do. In a way, it's a realistic look at those types of Shoujo where the MC leaves the princely second male lead ... for the jerk. This pretty much answers those questions, and even if you don't like it, it's reality. It also deconstructs the "pair the spares" trope as well.

I highly recommend this series. It's short and entertaining.

I highly recommend this movie. It's sweet and fluffy in the romance, but it also tackles other issues. Body issues, war between nations, and poverty. Sarah, the protagonist of the series, lives in a wealthy country. The issue? They're running out of water. Naran lives in a poor country that has plenty of water. Seems like a no brainer to work out, except, they've been at odds with each other for over a millennium.

It's interesting to explore the history and see past rulers, as they lay the foundation for what the current characters do. The ... romance is really sweet, but it also isn't without conflict. Misunderstandings and the Romeo and Juliet aspect, since their countries are at odds. It's a series that checks different boxes. Romance and historical.

The OVA was okay. It had a slow start and did start to pick up later on. The plot started rolling and we understood what was happening. A group of people and their king were killed. There's a few of them remaining, but they have to be in hiding because they're actively being hunted. The two main characters are members of such people. One of them has a power that is deadly, when they switch to their other self. Basically, the plot was easy to follow after a while.

The issue is, I'm not interested in finishing ... the story. It didn't really grab me. I don't know what it is, because it's not exactly bad. It just isn't for me. I'll rate it a 4.

The vibes were good and the story was entertaining at the beginning. Then it went off the rails and we met up with yapmaster 3000. It's aesthetic AF and the art was good. The woman going after her fiance was an interesting character. The cast itself was solid, but they were ultimately wasted. I get the themes of the work. While people are living day to day, greater forces are at play. Forces far better than humans can even hope to comprehend. Even when they enhance themselves. Even the otherworldly creatures that looked down on mortals, ... were ultimately not true playmakers.

The problem is, the story just went off rails and was a bit rushed. Almost like we needed more time with the show.

It's a cute little show about food, has interesting looking fantasy creatures, and is pleasant overall. It's not more, but not less. It's an enjoyable show. Though if you're expecting an in-depth plot, complex characters and and action, then look elsewhere. If you need a palette cleanser from a particularly tough show, or want to take a break from the usual shows that you like, then I highly recommend this series.

Warning: it's episodic. There's a new customer every episode. Some episodes are hot or miss, so also consider that. In my opinion, most of the episodes ... were good. It's just like 3 episodes, at the max, that were lackluster.

Second season has potential to be a very good fantasy series. With the new character each episode, they flesh out the world. Talking about regions, the connections that the characters have to each other, and their backstory.

This movie reminds me of Bride of Deimos. Similar aesthetic so to speak. Which shows how tragic the adaptation for Bride of Deimos is. That OVA was a confusing mess of an adaptation. This movie was a better standalone movie. The plot was cohesive and understandable. It didn't require the manga to be read, in order to understand most of it. The art in this movie was gorgeous. I love old anime series, a time when they tried. Madhouse was a powerhouse.

The characters were good, and the romance was easy to root for. A ... juicy and forbidden romance is hard to resist. The designs were interesting, and Vampire D was a walking mystery. He was intriguing. This movie towed a perfect line of some mystery and unexplained things, while not being a confusing mess.

It ain't Life or Vitamin, but it's a bit more than Hope. That's the best way to describe this manga. This was better at suspense and mystery. More raw, and better character interactions. Hope has better individual characters, but was as good in other aspects.

Limit is a hard manga to find, so be weary of that. It's almost not worth it, since it's vastly inferior to Life and Vitamin. Though it does have its own strengths and themes. Themes of hierarchy and society, forgiveness, redemption, etc. If you can get it, then get it. If it's going ... to take effort to hunt down, that effort is better spent hunting for Life.

This story was terrible. The premise was uninspired, but I do see what inspired Junji Itou. People who apologize way too much are a nuisance. You have to wonder why they're apologizing for things that aren't even their fault. This is probably what lead to this plot bunny. As always, Junji Itou puts a twist on it. The problem is, the story just doesn't have much going for it. Guy apologizes and everyone melts. The end. That's all there is to the story. There were some interesting plot bunnies within the story, but it was ... ultimately wasted. Almost as if it were cut short, or Junji Itou just didn't want to work on the story anymore. The sister's design in interesting enough. Though in that case, it's like The Terrifier. A movie that has an interesting looking antagonist, but the story itself was not very good.

Do I recommend this story to anyone? Not really... Unless you're just a super Junji Itou fan that wants to read and collect all of his works, I'd suggest skipping this one. There's nothing appealing about this manga.

Eh, this story was basic. Cast was decent enough. The romance was predictable, and the story was predictable. If you're into Shoujo sports series, you might like it. It's a short and cute read. Sports series in general are rare, but especially ones with a female protagonist. If you don't care for Shoujo sports series, then you can go ahead and skip this series. You aren't missing much. Honestly, even as someone who does want to get into more Shoujo sports series, this manga wasn't that special.

The story is simple: a girl was ballerina and ... failed at that, so she pivoted to another sport, archery. This story is a journey of Anna, the main character, learning archery.

I'm sorry, but no!

I do think that this episode is a great one when you look at the plot. I like the idea of someone being so offended, on behalf of others, that they end up being offensive. Kind of like the teachers who told my sister and brother that they can't use "black" in their paper, but must use "African American" or it's racist. My siblings are black and the teachers lecturing them were white. Irony. This episode is a bit similar. "You can't have stories of (insert anyone that isn't white, cis, straight, or male) or ... it's offensive!"

Though where it goes wrong is the age gap... Why are we doing this? Was this necessary? It's like A Sign of Affection, but Yuki's love interest is a guy in his 20s going after her when she was in high school. -_-
