MADE IN ABYSS

Made in Abyss is a show that I have been putting off for quite awhile. I have been well aware of the love that this show receives from the anime community and the general consensus of it being among the truly great pieces of anime that exists, however something about it just never interested me enough to get myself to dive in. After watching this first season, the only thing I can say is that all the love it gets is absolutely deserved and I wish I had watched this sooner.

PLOT - 9/10
Made in Abyss is a unique anime by today's ...

LYCORIS RECOIL

Cute girls with guns!! That's basically the gist of this show. Teenage girls called Lycoris are tasked with enforcing and maintaining the peace within Japan all in secrecy to preserve the public's peace of mind.

STORY - 9/10
Overall, LycoReco doesn't have an amazing story. It focuses on two main Lycoris: Chisato, the extremely gifted agent outcast from the organization and only brought in for special missions and Takina, similarly outcast for disobeying orders to save her team. Together, they grow and learn more about themselves and unravel the mystery of Chisato's past with other friends from the LycoReco cafe, their headquarters of sorts.

CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS

For those who have not played the game (including myself), Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is centered around the world of Night City and its neo-dystopian society filled with greed, violence, and the clear social divide established by the mega-corporations that run the world. This show tells the tale of David Martinez, a young teen finding his way in the unforgiving Night City amidst losing his mother and gaining a valuable strength.

STORY: 10/10
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners only runs for 10 episodes but make no mistake, these 10 episodes are some of the best crafted episodes of anime I have ever seen. In 10 episodes, so much world building, character ...

KAWAII DAKE JA NAI SHIKIMORI-SAN

As its title suggests, Shikimori-san indeed isn't just a cutie, but she's also mid as heck. I want to preface this review by acknowledging that I had high expectations heading in with all the buzz the show got prior to release and even drawing comparisons to Bisque Doll with fans claiming Shikimori-san will dethrone Marin Kitagawa. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met at all as Shikimori-san proves to be a bland showing.

STORY: 6/10
The core plot of Shikimori-san is actually quite unique. You have a soft boy who is seemingly perpetually cursed with bad favor and his wonderful and all powerful girlfriend ...

KOI WA SEKAI SEIFUKU NO ATO DE

Love After World Domination is another of this season's many surprises. Initially, I wasn't even watching this show and only picked it up midway through the season, and boy am I glad I did. It's a fun take on the Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers trope wrapped in a Power Rangers package.

STORY: 8.5/10
The main premise of Love After World Domination may be the most interesting and entertaining aspect of this show. You have Fudo (Red Gelato) and Desumi (Reaper Princess) being the respective aces of their warring factions who find love and comfort in each other. Together, they ...

KUNOICHI TSUBAKI NO MUNE NO UCHI

Kunoichi Tsubaki is one of the bigger surprises for me this season and almost a guilty pleasure. It has gained an almost controversial rep within the community with its use of young girls as its main focal point, but I believe it's only problematic if you think it is. At its heart (pun intended), the show is a charming and relaxing slice of life/coming of age about a village of ninja girls as they continue to grow and learn with each other spearheaded by Tsubaki and her growing curiosity about men that they have been conditioned to fear and ...

TATE NO YUUSHA NO NARIAGARI SEASON 2

The Shield Hero, Naofumi, is back along with his group of slav- I mean his harem of pets, I mean his party! Together, they embark on a thrilling adventure to discover the mystery behind the Waves and save the world--that's what I wish I could say about season 2 of The Rising of the Shield Hero after an excellent first season. However, season 2 falls absolutely flat and fails to leave a memorable mark.

STORY: 6/10
One of the best things about the first season was its extremely compelling revenge/training/redemption arc theme whilst tackling the mystery of the Waves. With the ...

KOMI-SAN CAN'T COMMUNICATE 2nd Season

For season 2 of Komi-san we're given even more of what made season 1 so great: wholesome moments, a wonderful and wild mixed bag of characters, and CHADano-kun and Komi-san. On top of that, season 2 begins to push Tadano and Komi's feelings for each other which adds a wonderful romantic layer to an already great show.

STORY: 9/10
Komi-san's premise has always been unique and lovable. On the surface it is a standard high school slice of life, but add the aspect of Komi-san's social anxiety and her quest to make 100 friends and you have a fresh plot. What I loved ...

TOMODACHI GAME

Tomodachi Game feels like a combination of Death Note, Kakegurui, and Squid Game with someone like Lelouch manning the show. A gripping show with cliffhangers at every episode that has you grasping for more with payoffs that aren't able to be as fulfilling as the mentioned shows.

STORY: 8/10
Tomodachi Game may be the show that is the most difficult for me to evaluate ever since I began writing these anime reviews and its plot is the main reason for that. Generally, you have a Squid Game-esque situation but instead of facing death, groups of friend are challenged with games and saddled with debt. ...

SPY X FAMILY

The latest anime to take not just the anime community by storm as Spy x Family paves its way into the mainstream flow of the internet and media. There's a reason that Spy x Family is probably on everyone's social media feeds and it's because this is one heck of a good anime. Put it simply, Spy x Family is about Twilight, an expert spy that is tasked with a mission of infiltration in order to maintain world peace. In order to do so, however, Twilight needs to put together a family. Unknowingly, he puts together a family with absurd talents with ...
