*Short Non-Spoiler Review*

A HUGE improvement from the first season. This anime series is definitely worth the watch thanks to the 2nd season.

What you might like about this anime:
- Sweet moments that'll make your heart doki doki
- A good amount of drama to spice things up
- Solid character development
- Unique story arcs for each relationship
- A conclusive ending
...
What you might not like about this anime:
- The female MC's brother
- The annoying indecisiveness of high school students
- The somewhat slow parts of the anime, which are few in number when compared to the first season, but still present

In summary, if you're looking for a solid school romance anime with just the right amount of drama and fulfillment, then I would recommend watching 3D Kanojo. While the first season dropped the ball completely, the second season more than makes up for it.

Finally, an anime for both the isekai weebs and casuals to enjoy has arrived!

What you might like about this anime:
- Great comedy
- Fantastic animation
- Overpowered MC
- Cute isekai girls with a tad bit of fan service here and there
- Overall heart-warming anime to watch
...
What you might dislike about this anime:
- Same ol' isekai troupe
- Lack of darker, more compelling story

In summary, I enjoyed this particular anime because even though on the surface it's just your same old isekai fantasy series, it possesses a level of enjoyment that some other isekai series fail to capture. I would definitely recommend watching this.

*Short Non-Spoiler Review*

To sum up this entire anime series in a few short words, it's basically cute, slice-of-life yuri.

What I enjoyed about this anime:
- The girls are cute
- The animation looks great
- The OST is relaxing
- Watching this generally makes you feel happy, since it's so laid-back and heart-warming at times

... What I disliked about the anime:
- Sometimes it's really slow and boring
- Not much of a story to be found here
- No actual yuri action (just kidding on this one of course..... or am I?)

In summary, if you're a fan of the series, or you're into cute friendships between girls that is borderline yuri, then do give this anime a spin. Even those who are simply into the slice-of-life genre might find this enjoyable. Otherwise, don't bother with it.

*Short Non-Spoiler Review*

Not like this anime has anything to spoil though....

Firstly, what I liked about this anime:
- Kind of funny at times
- Had a decent amount of side characters to mix things up
- Had animation that was okay for a short anime

What I didn't like about this anime:
... - The tsundere troupe is used here, and it's not cute, but annoying
- The story for each episode is somewhat repetitive, since it always follows the same concept, and it gets boring over time
- I didn't find any of the characters to be interesting in any way

In summary, don't waste your time with it, unless if you're looking for something to kill time on, and have nothing else better to do. Definitely not comedy of the season, but you might find something that could make you smirk, at best.

Have you ever flipped a page of a manga, then suddenly screamed out with a fiery passion that only a shonen protagonist would have after viewing the contents of the next spread?

No?

Then you my friend, are missing out on one of the greatest manga series ever.

Kingdom is a story that follows a certain servant boy, as he rises up to become a great general of the heavens, during the warring states period in China. In essence, you could say that this is your average shonen protagonist that screams a lot and does the impossible, who slowly matures over the course of the story. However, it's ... not a story as boring or cliche as that. While the MC might be exactly as you expect him to be, the supporting characters are far more detailed and interesting than you'd expect. They all have their own roles to fulfill on the battlefield, and off it. Therefore, it's not only the protagonist that drives the story, but rather, the decisions that all the characters make. If those decisions contradict each other, that's when conflict occurs.

A noteworthy aspect of the story-telling used in the series is the telling of the story through the perspectives of several different characters. This allows us further insight into the motives of each character, and helps us grow to empathize with them in some cases. By fully understanding the character, we as the audience are then able to fully appreciate the impact of the actions they take. This switching of perspectives can sometimes be unexpected, but so far, I've enjoyed each and every character arc throughout the story. Even if, not all of them go the way we want them to.

The art is super detailed. Everything just looks great. Especially the facial expressions of characters. Whether it's rage, despair, or even comedic moments, you'll be able to clearly tell what characters are feeling just by looking at their expressions. Of course, not every panel is flawless, but the climactic moments of each arc, always are inexplicably detailed.

This is one those manga that you finish reading, then feel motivated to go out and save the world and what not. I just love all these characters so much, and I can't wait for the next chapters to come out. I'm so glad that I decided to give this manga a shot, cause if I didn't, I'd seriously regret my life decisions. You might not feel as strongly as I do about this manga, but for those of you who do, I'm glad that you're enjoying it as much as I am.

Thank you for reading this review!

This movie is a dramatic telling of what it means to live. Something that you can only begin to appreciate when you know that your days are numbered, and the fear of death starts to set in. It's not a fate that anyone deserves, but in the end, it's an inevitable fact of life.

If you enjoy dramatic movies, then by all means, watch this film and cry your pancreas out. If you're still not sure, then here's the review.

The story isn't anything special. However, I have to admit that it works out in the movie's favor. It makes you love the characters, then it takes ... them away and never gives them back.

The art is beautiful, but I guess I have to say, as expected of a movie production level anime. The voice-acting and vocals are also great.

Sakura is very likable, but at times, I found myself extremely annoyed by Haruki. Haruki's character does develop over the course of the movie, thanks to his meeting with Sakura, so if you also find him annoying at first, you need not worry yourself. Just sit back, and enjoy the suffering, followed by what could perhaps be considered wholesome in a sense.

I was completely immersed in the movie as I was watching it, and felt quite a few emotions while watching it. Needless to say, prepare some tissues beforehand, cause if you're not emotionally dead inside, then you'll be needing them.

Thanks for reading this review!

It's a nonsensical, short fan-service filled comedy that can give you a few laughs here and there in only a couple of minutes. Obviously not anything to write home about, but it certainly is worth watching if you're just looking for something stupidly funny to fill in the gaps of your day.

The series is episodic, so don't look for any compelling storyline here. The art and sound are low budget, but fair enough. I've seen a couple of 20+ minute anime that are animated worse than this. The characters fit into your standard tropes, but it's wholesome and anyone watching this series isn't going to ... take it seriously in the first place anyways. Overall, it's just a nice little, laid-back short series for you to get a few chuckles here and there. Not for everyone, but it's not bad.

Thrilling, yet lacking in overall fulfillment. It honestly had an interesting story, but personally, I felt that it ended abruptly. The potential it had to be a masterpiece was there though, so overall I would consider it to be an amazing anime that deserves a watch.

The characters were interesting, and the aspect of mystery made the show so much more interesting. The action scenes looked fluid and the art style is polished. It obviously can't compare to the production value of more recent anime, but I liked how stylistic it was, and I'm sure any anime viewer will be able to appreciate it. Interactions between ... characters were a little awkward at the start of the show, but once you get to know more of their background, you'll be able to better appreciate why they are the way that they are. It's definitely an anime that is thought-provoking, so if you like that in your media, then you might find something enjoyable.

I found Lisa to be rather annoying, since she has the sadly, common victim mindset. This is however, mostly due to the circumstances of her life. The main antagonist's motives are questionable, but considering the background that the main characters share, I don't find it surprising. The main problem that I do have with this anime though is the ending that felt a tad bit rushed. I would have liked to see the story fleshed out more before the conclusion.

Overall, it's an amazing anime that I would recommend to any new anime-watcher, but I wouldn't consider it to be the masterpiece that several others regard it as. Do put it on your plan to watch list though, since it's definitely one that you shouldn't miss.

Now this is certainly an interesting entry to read. At first, one may be completely confused as to what's going on, and the lack of dialogue does not do much to help you, but overtime you begin to understand the world that this story is set in. Not through endless lines of dialogue, but by experiencing the harshness of the world these characters reside in along with them. It's quite refreshing to read a manga that utilizes this great technique of world-building, and the interesting world you're thrown into is reason enough to read this manga.

I feel that the artstyle goes for a very nitty-gritty, ... futuristic style. At times, it's kind of hard to figure out exactly what is going on, since I've become accustomed to the clean and sharp art of modern day digital manga, but this style has so much appeal. All you need to do is open your mind and accept it as it is, to fully appreciate the detail that's put into each panel.

The main characters of the story receive no introduction, which I honestly think they don't require one in the first place. It allows us to learn more about them as they continue on their adventure, and somehow become attached to them. I wouldn't say that they're the most relatable characters out there, since they don't have much going when it comes to personality, but the setting of the narrative is the reason behind this lack of personality. Therefore, it works in favor of the story, instead of against it.

I picked up this manga series on a whim, and was weirded out by the first few chapters, but ultimately I don't regret reading it at all. In fact, I enjoyed it enough to put it in my favorites. The appeal of Blame! is hard to describe, but if you enjoy sci-fi and/or dark fantasy like I do, then you're going to have a blast reading this manga.

In terms of sports anime, I would say that Tsurune is probably the most realistic of the bunch. That is to say, there isn't any super powers, or randomly shouting out the name of their secret techniques. It's all about the real struggles that people who practice archery, or any sport, have to experience and overcome. Overall, I would say that it did a great job at depicting this, but it certainly isn't going to provide you with much hype. If you're not into atmospheric slice of life type anime, then this entry, most likely isn't for you.

As previously the mentioned, the narrative that is ... presented is one that takes the more realistic aspect of sports and converts it into anime form. It then turns into a coming of age story where our main character interacts with, and learns from his fellow team mates and sensei, to overcome his fears. It is most certainly an inspiring story, but the pacing is rather slow, which is what the director most likely intended for this series. This is a good one to just kick back and relax to. Of course, there are some dramatic events, but they're not overly dramatic and unrealistic, which again adds a sense of realism to the narrative. Perhaps some viewers may find themselves being able to directly relate with the characters, which is certainly a good thing for any anime to have.

Production-wise, this anime is a KyoAni anime, so there isn't much to critique. The art style is definitely interesting and non-generic, while the V.A. and OST's were fine. Nothing to write home about though.

I personally felt that the characters were a tad bit generic, as in, that one guy with the red hair who's a hot head, and the cute guy who all the girls love, then you have the cold and calm leader, and of course the underdog protagonist who develops into a better person by the end of the show. I will agree that these characters were used effectively, sadly, I'm definitely not going to be able to remember any of them after finishing the show. There are just some characters in anime that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Sadly, for me, this anime doesn't have any character like that.

Perhaps it's simply because this type of anime isn't what I'm into, but I didn't enjoy it very much. The pacing is just too painstakingly slow for my taste. However, I'm not saying that this anime is bad. It does have its good qualities here and there, but I don't think it's going to be a favorite for the majority of people. If it does, however, sound like just the kind of anime you're looking for, then by all means, give it a go. If not, then I'd recommend watching something else.
