Assassination Classroom is one of the few anime i would say that gives the full experience of their story and left before they overstay and turn into one of Shounen Jumps cashcows.

It's a genuine and authentic story with a refreshing plot that was executed perfectly i would say. The animation is visually stunning and remains consistent through out 2 whole seasons , the OPenings are fantastic and all 4 are unique , the voice acting is phenomenal and the VA's really delivers their outstand performance when a scene calls for it .

The character development in this anime is its strongest point ; looking back ... in the early episodes of s1 you can tell the growth the cast went through. Characters like Nagisa,Karma,KoroSensei most prominently undergo their own story arcs through out the story

Overall its a great anime you will not regret watching

Grimgar Ashes and Illusions :

is one of my personal favourite series ever. The unique visual style giving off this serene and calming vibe is something I've never seen before. That unique vibe complements the realistic way the characters are portrayed and the music and sound design is the finishing touches perfecting the anime immersive experience.

I got so immersed and invested to the story that I couldn't help myself but check out the lightnovel so I did.
The lightnovel is written in a pretty basic form, it doesn't use big words and is simple to visualize. The writing style is a big reason why it's one ... of my favourites.

The best way to describe the Lightnovel for Grimgar is that the Author is one sadistic person who enjoys putting their characters in tough situations.

(dont worry I won't get into spoiler details)
The Grimgar LN started amazingly around vol 1 to vol 8-10. At around the middle half volumes the story drastically change course. (there's 18 volumes currently)
At the first few volumes at the beginning the story had a pacing where you can kind of of predict how the story progress (move into new location then train for a bit and become pros then repeat).[very simplified]
But then the story pacing changes after a certain plot twist(which I admit was pretty good tbh) then it started getting crazy all of a sudden; huge plot revelation after the next.. now I'll get into the good part..

The problem with Grimgar is that it is simultaneously one of my favourite isekai ever and a trash isekai with a very convoluted terrible storyline.

Grimgar storyline always and I mean ALWAYS revert back to the beginning. When you think the story is progressing the Author flips you off with a middle finger and reverts back the story to the beginning or just straight up ignore plot revelation that should've affected the story in a drastic way. This occurs after every major arc after the certain plot twist I mentioned before.
I'll list off some plot points but won't get into detail :

Merry and Haruhiro relationship
Haruhiro character growth
Ranta and Yume out of the story and relationship
The villains - most of them are stupidly introduced
Soma and his goal
Multiple major arcs that amounts to nothing in the story - Parano, Darunggar, Jessie village, Shinobi Village, Dragon Island, Journey to Alterna and probably more I don't remember.
Underlying real story
Past backstory
Shihoru character development
Everyone in the part pretty much
EVERYTHING ABOUT VOL 15 AND BEYOND

To summarise Grimgar LN is the best Trash isekai in my opinion. It may be garbage but its good garbage

Legit Garbage Manga

how in the world did this get this much hype when its literal trash mind you the art is good and thats just about it , this was released with people were craving generic flashy shounens like jjk,mha, and demon slayer that significantly boosted its popularity anyway back to the main points.

STORY
so the story starts off as this realistic dark story with a middle age man going through struggles of life which is name Kafka the protagonist for this story , so kafka's main character story is that he made a promise to her childhood friend Mina to be the ... strongest,save the world you know the typical generic cliche trash plot then some bs happen he got a power up that makes all his character before that completely meaningless now that he can just use his op power which is also completely generic trash to beat all his problems

CHARACTER
the characters in kaiju 8 are utter trash they literally barely have any real character and its hilarious when the story takes itself seriously when it sucks at making characters

i could rant more but ehh ill just list off all the bad points this terrible manga have;

Characters yes all of them . recycled villain they literally recycled one villain for 3 arcs now that tells you how low the standards are for this manga . the power system is just bland af kafka power all it does is literally be superman just punch mosnters that it no flashy moves no weapons nothing else to add to his character . bruhh they literally replaced the main side kick Reno who was introduced early on the story to be the secondy protag but he was replaced by this blonde brat shinomiya which also replaced the main girl Mina . now the story is even hinting this releationship with kafka and shinomiya she is a minor btw so yea adds more how shit this really is . the background characters feels like npcs no depth at all . and it has like every cliche shounen trope you can imagine in fact that IS the main appeal for kaiju 8 its literally just an amalgamtion of every shounen cliche trope , the only good thing kaiju8 has going for is the good art, dynamic panels and nothing else

so to end this off...
KAIJU8 more like KAIJU SH8T

the story,animation,the character development,the music,the va,and how it potrayed deppression,suicide,disability,bullying,regret,acceptance and friendship is just a masterpiece everything is 10.

ishda growth is well written and how shouko and ishida both comforts each other as both of them struggle to live they both found purpose upon meeting each other

the only complaint i have is that some characters dont have depth and pacing still a masterpiece, i wish that it showed a bit more romance aspect tho

the music and animation complements each other so well its a 10 on its own plus the great voice acting,this for me is one of the best anime i have ever ... seen

i watched this movie a few months ago,i was expecting to cry or get really emotional as i watched vids that have this that it was good so i watched it expecting a lot.

damn i was disappointed,the story was way to short and i didnt got attached to anything,the characters except gin is boring and flat,the animation is so bland and basic doesnt complement the ... story at all,the ending was sudden so i didnt feel anything other than getting annoyed by that kid and the girl didnt feel that emotional like she just accepted that gin is now gone.

even tho i find this movie extremely overrated and boring the message of the story is nice and that the only redeemable reason i have for this movie also meruem voiced gin

I heard a lot of the anime from Anitubers so i gave i try one day and i got completely hooked to the story,it follows the same formula for DrStone and the character dynamics is just great to watch on par with Konosuba for me the character interaction is fan service for me,with those characters the emotional scenes has more effect ,the mystery characters help build the world and some of them has more depth even if your familiar with them but even if the characters is well written but some of them arent flesh out like for Ex. Hakurou why is ... so strong and whats the history behind the Ogres that live in the Jura Forest well at least for the manga rn it has chp 77


so for the story:in the early parts of the series i admit some character are forgettable like the gpblin executives(the other goblin lords help Rigurd for maintaining the country)the story in the first half is a bit simple with a proper goal and slow,the GOOD stuff starts after the anime its honestly surprised me the tone of the story shift drastically to light hearted to dark very fast but after the arc the story became darker permanently story wise some parts is kinda cheezy like how some side characters seem unrealistic or their decision doesnt make sense

art wise for me when i watched the anime it got me hooked so i read the manga and end up catching up to it the art for me first looked weird and slightly different from the anime but now i think the manga is better than the anime some scenes are cut as well so i think reading the manga first is better

i just made this trashy review cuz i want to show how i love this series btw this is my first review i just enjoyed this series so much and i should really be reading the LN now cuz the manga is monthly and i cant wait the anime is also 45 days from now
