Review will contain major spoilers but in a separate tag. I intend to make this review readable to those that are not caught up with the season. Thus I am unmarking the spoiler warning.
1) Story
The story was not great but it was not bad either. However it was close to bad. In terms of plot points, the story was good. If you consider the major points, there were times when some unexpected things happened. However, the transition from one point to another was not that enjoyable. Partially because the season seemed stretched with too much repetition and back stories. If instead of making this a
...
season, this should have been made a 3+ hours it would have done better.
Then there are other plot holes too like [spoiler 1.] which did not make sense to me.
7/10
2) Art
Usually I talk about character design etc. but this is the 3rd season for the anime so of course that much is settled. However, there were issues with animations, which were quite expected. There was not much time between 2nd and 3rd season so it really shows where they lacked. Repetition, frames taking longer than they should have is also a part of it. "I do not want to see the characters gasp for like 10 seconds!" was what I wanted to yell at some point. The opening and ending animation also didn't get much attention. It seemed they just googled "How to create anime op/ed shots" and just followed whatever popped up.
5/10
3)Sound
Again, I will only talk about what I didn't like. [spoiler 2.] was the point where even the main OST seemed streched. To be honest, the ending song couldn't capture much of my attention either. However, what I didn't like the most, with repeated frames, it seemed they reused the gasps too.
There are points even in the main show down where it felt low effort. Sure the animation did play a crucial role in ruining it but still, even the voice acting felt low effort.
5/10
4)Character
Main hero still doesn't get character development. He is still a cry baby. He still lacks the fighting skills. He still lacks the strength. I actually feel bad because in all the fights, he has been a punching bad. At one point, he did start to train, or at least tried to train himself. Why not follow up on that? Last season had a good bit where he exhausted Taiju and eventually brought him to his knee with a punch. I was expecting more of that in this season, if not more. I will not oversee the new character development in Draken and Mikey when [spoiler 3.], I think that bit was good. But it could not outshine the sun of disappointment.
2/10
5)Enjoyment
I felt mostly bored. Had I not planned to watch each season, I would have dropped it long ago. The plot holes were too much for me. Even if they planned to reuse the frames, it is ok by me. But I feel like I watched flashbacks half of this season, with some serious issues with the story.
3/10
6) Overall
Not an impactful anime. It lacked depth in the story and could not captivate me. It ended on a somewhat decent note but that was not enough.
5/10
// ---------- Spoiler ----------
This is the paragraph in which I will talk about the spoilers. The spoilers are numbered so that you can make sense of what I was talking about in the review.
1. MC getting shot and still catching the villan, Angry still fighting when his leg was broken, Kakucho dying on the spot but still ended up living, Mikey getting shot in the head and still giving death speech (tho it was in the last season I think), and others.
2. Takemichi chasing down Kisaki. The OST seemed really steched at that point.
3. Hinata tells Draken and Mikey that Takemichi is time travelling.
Above were discussed in the review. The plot points that I think went well are:
a) Emma's death. I was certainly not expecting that to happen.
b) Draken and Mikey are told the truth about Takemichi.
c) The reason Hinata keeps dying, and Kisaki's intentions for everything.
d) Chifuyu tells Takemichi to get over the trauma, and use the time travelling to his advantage to know about the mistakes of the past and correct them in the present.

Grancrest Senki takes place in medieval settings, but with magic creatures and witches. An anime where we see Werewolves and Vampires, and sometimes demons as well.
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MAY BE CALLED SPOILERS!
1) Story
The story begins with MC being a witch, going to Great Hall for a wedding ceremony. Things get complicated and wedding is called off. The world is divided into two, and MC is contracted to a Villar(a rank). But before she officially gets into contract with him, she meets our second MC, a wandering lord, having no territory, going around defeating demons. From here on, second MC obtain territories and
...
eventually become Emperor, defeating Chaos which was the root of magical activity.
9/10
2) Art
In terms of art and animation, I think it was a well executed anime, the fighting scenes were good, they showed some gore as well and character design was great as well.
8/10
3)Sound
Sound quality was one of the great ones. I think the background effects were really great, like when the light magic was called on the giant and when the Demon Lord was summoned.
9/10
4)Character
Outstanding development! The story wasn't rushed at all, especially for Theo the development was executed perfectly. And Marrine accepting the fornication was peak development, watch her do it with Prince Milza really broke my heart(Watching it in uncen and explicit didn't help either, I had mixed feelings but mainly sorrow.)
10/10
5)Enjoyment
Enjoyment was outstanding, I wasn't bored by any episode at all, and some episodes had me hooked. There was suspense, misery, sometimes passion and ire. Even though the story was predictable, it was no less entertaining.
10/10
6) Overall
Overall it was a great anime, my love for medieval culture was satisfied greatly. The ending was satisfactory as well, and it ended like it should've, without leaving any questions unanswered, everything crystal clear.
9/10

It's been awhile since I posted a review on MAL,but School Days made me do it.
Now here's a short version of my review,you will have all kinds of feelings while watching this anime,you will be happy,sad,sorry,anger and much more.
There are no major spoilers involved,though there might be some hints but they would not be enough to give away the spoilers.
There might be minor spoilers but they wouldn't matter much when you sit down to watch it.
1)Story:
The story is majorly about 3 people,Sekai,Kotonoha and Itou.
The story is about their love triangle,as both girls desire to be Itou's girlfriends.
Sekai sets up up the conditions for Kotonoha on
...
Itou's wish and thus Kotonoha becomes his girlfriend.
At least that is what happens in the beginning,because Sekai could not hold back and thus things became complicated.
In other words,she became a cuck.
But Kotonoha still in her confusion about love and Sekai being her friend,she held back but,in the end,the thing that had to happen,happened.
One thing led to another and he broke up with Kotonoha and went to Sekai,as he should have from the beginning,and you will probably support them until the episode where the truth reveals,the truth about Sekai and her friend Setsuna.
After that,Itou,which had tasted the forbidden fruit,goes on to eat it and gets the taste of many trees.
Now I cannot reveal the story much further as the rest is spoiler and I want people to watch it,yet not ruin it for them,so,story part ends here.
You may not see any similar stories in probably any anime,the story is so original and different,thus its a great story.
9/10
2)Art:
Now this being a 2007 anime,you should probably have an idea about how is the art going to be,but still its a mediocre art,not too bad not too good.
5/10
3)Sound:
Sound and voices,like the art,is also fair enough,no need to comment about that.
6/10
4)Character:
The character development was really outstanding,how they progressed the true nature of each character and how they revealed the secrets that they hid is really amazing,I really liked Setsuna's, Kotonoha's and Sekai's development,especially Setsuna's and how she was related to the story.
10/10
5)Enjoyment:
Now the real question arises whether you enjoy the anime or not,this is the most important question as the rest of the attributes do not mean anything if you aren't going to enjoy it.
Personally I enjoyed the anime very much as I really liked the story,the different emotions it gave me,this is a psychological anime and if you are in the mood of something happy,romantic or funny,you are not gonna enjoy it at all,it is important that your mood is set for this anime.
As I mentioned above,it really gave me plenty of different emotions,at one time I was happy,other I was angry,then I felt sorry for the character and such.
There isn't a happy ending,its more realistic ending but not too realistic too.
Now there are a few questions I have regarding the ending,but overall,I understand it and there isn't a confusion about that.
9/10
6)Overall:
Overall speaking,this anime is good,the rating it has on MAL right now is too low,it was over 8 some years ago and in my opinion that is its real rating.I would like to see the epilogue though
8/10

Before I begin all the review,let me tell you something.
This review will contain major spoilers so those who still have plans to watch the anime,here is a shorter version.
If you enjoyed 1st season,you will enjoy it till episode 22 maybe,except the fact that it might make you rage so much.After that,you may curse the makers.
1)Story:
They tried so hard to make it good,they definitely somewhat succeeded but then something happened that made it plunge so hard that it crashed.
First they killed El,which made me rage so much that i was about to break my display,but it was part of the plan and it would fit in
...
the story.Then the war they broke out began the disaster.Chris just goes to Eibos to kill Bahamut?That was a mistake.They could make it work by another war between King and Gods which would had opened up the rift and then Bahamut would appear.After that,they Killed Kaisar,like one of the main character of the both series dies?That doesn't make sense.How are we supposed to look forward to 3rd season.Alessand's dramatic death was also a disaster.And the fact that Amira is still trapped also didn't do any good,people like me wants her to be with Favaro.
Additionally,they rushed the last two episodes which can be a downfall for any anime,the should have made one or two more episodes.
I am giving rating of the story as an overall,it could have been 8 at least but the last two episodes just don't fit well with the rest.
6/10
2)Art and Sound:
One thing that this anime didn't suck at all was its art and sound,i have seen some flaws in animations of other animes that were released in 2017 but i am happy that this one didn't have,its first season is one of my favourites so I am happy.The war,Bahamut,ball,and the one where Nina danced with Chris at the first time were good.Good Effort!
8/10
3)Character Development:
The story is of after the Fall of Cocytus where the demon kind is having hard time to live,they even mad Cerberus a toy.How the King,Nina and Mugaro feel,their personalities and stuff was were explained good,the two faced King also looked good.
8/10
4)Enjoyment:
I could have easily give it a 10 but the last two episodes just became a downfall.Making El's death an exception,the story went smooth.Even if we were not ready for his death,it would still fit in the arc but they treated the last two episodes badly.Even Kaisar's last words didn't made sense to me,"Death is peaceful"?It only makes sense if we believe that he was protecting his pride by protecting him,but then again,he should have said something else.Jeanne got away from death without a scratch at the end was also not good,they should have injured her a little bit(Not killing her of course)
6/10
5)Overall:
I have said it all,so i have no other words.
7/10

Okay this review will contain both good and bad sides of this anime.
I have seen 11 episodes at the time.
1)Story
Good:
Story is actually pretty good if you ask me,plot was written very impressively and there are two protagonists instead of one.
One of them has no power but the other has shown immense,both are contrary to each other,having the same aim,both are rival to each other.
Bad:
They didn't think the story carefully,they couldn't give the unique vibe that every good anime has.
While on a mission to compete with Boku No Hero Academia,they got lost somewhere and couldn't keep up,I remember the time when Bleach and Naruto were aired
...
at the same time.
The anime has many similarities with other great animes like Bleach,Naruto and somewhat with Boku No Hero Academia.
Also the spotlight pretty much shifted from two to one and that was bad.
7/10
2)Art and Sound
Don't really have to tell but sometimes animation didn't go well with the sound,most of the time it was ok but sometimes it was not
Also Asta screams his heart out,they should stop that cause its becoming annoying gradually.
Animation:8/10 Sound:6/10
3)Character
Character development was okay for our MCs and around them before the went out of orphanage and till a couple more episodes
but the could've improved it,they couldn't maintain it for Silva Noelle at ep 9 while she was unlocking her new power,they should have told a good reason but other than that,it was good.
4)Enjoyment
Aside from some a couple episodes,it was ok.Those episodes were somewhat boring to watch.Because of similarities with other animes,you know what was going to happen next and stuff.It was fair.
6/10
5)Overeall
I think that was all,most of the time you can predict what was going to happen.
The real story that somewhat hypes you starts from ep 9.
7/10
I hope this review was helpful to anyone

Time for another review that no one is gonna read!
(Thanks to that one kind person who had been finding my reviews helpful)
Boku no Hero Academia,another great season,another hit,another awesomeness
1) Story:
The story,just like season one,is about his road to become a hero
I wouldn't say there are no times when you don't get bore or something like that,there exists those.I think at least one episode was boring(in my opinion,most would not find any flaws) so there were some pin holes in the story.But if we talk about overall,the story was fantastic,very good and enjoyable!
8/10
2) Art:
Perfect syncs,perfect reaction,nice coloring and attractive animation.An ideal piece of art for any
...
upcoming anime.
10/10
3) Sound:
I don't think I found any flaws in sound(I should quit making separate spaces for art and sound) and everything went according to studio's plan.But in the episode(s) which I said boring,I think the sound played a role too.
But it great as a whole.
9/10
3) Character Development:
They played slow for this portion,little by little,they introduced us to how the villains' personalities were,heroes' were etc.Which I think is great because the audience get to understand what is going on much better.The way they introduced Hero Killer:Stain was something unique for me.At least I don't think I have seen anything like that in an anime(Don't clearly remember but Bleach might have done it),there win and lose points and stuff,that was an excellent effort.
10/10
4) Enjoyment:
Now this is the important part,because whether you enjoyed the anime or not is a big thing.If an anime has ratings good enough to make your jaws drop,but is not according to your taste,it wouldn't be worth it.What you are looking for in a story,type of action you want to see,the comedy,the romance etc. plays a great role.
For this time,this one has more action,compared to other season and some animes,which is great but also have drawbacks too.
This season is full of action and story(*MINOR SPOILER!!!*except the festival one,since there is no story there except they have to fight there)
But if the story and action,comedy etc are running in parallel,I don't think anyone would hate it
9/10
5) Overall:
This one was definitely a season super hit,not as good as the first season in the start but it slowly catches up to that.The way they ended it was almost as good as season one,but I guess there were boring parts in season one too(not as super boring,like 6/10)
But overall,it was what I usually look in anime so it was a perfect hit for me(with the exception of those episodes) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who seek enjoyment,hype,excitement and great story.
9/10

Aho Girl,as the name suggests,is the story of an idiot girl who has a crush on her childhood friend(at least that is what it looks like) but that crush wants to crush her so bad that he is always hitting her and wants to stay away from her in hatred.In food,Aho Girl likes banana(mainly all girls do (☻u<) )
The review begins from now on
1)Story:
There is no story or plot at all.The series is not a episodic on but a one shot.With new episodes comes new plot thinking so it is pretty bad in you look in terms of story.
3/10
2)Art:
Honestly,this art rating should not exist anymore.
...
Animes cannot come with bad animation now.Its 2017 now!
8/10
3)Sound:
In terms of sound,I didn't see any flaws(but I think there were ignorable ones in there)The characters and their voices suited each other really well.There are mainly reactions in extreme excitement or anger in there.
Long story short,Every thing was good
8/10
6)Character Development:
From the first clip of Aho Girl,you can get a pretty good idea of their characters so there was no development with time.They didn't progressed at all.From start to end,they didn't change.
I would give a average on characters.
6/10
5)Enjoyment:
Here comes the good part.I think you can call it season's second best in terms of enjoyment.From the first punch to last,it makes you giggle if not laugh.The enjoyment is the best in this one,you will not be bored as it is unpredictable like other one shots.
In other meaning,Fantastic!!
10/10
6)Overall:
This is an anime that you will either love or think it was a waste of time.Hit or Miss.
For me it was a hi,it made me laugh most of the time so I don't think of a reason I shouldn't give it a rating it does not deserve.
9/10
In the hopes of a second season!

Okay so here is my review
The guy who recommended me this said it was sad and all stuff like that,it was heart touching and emotional but not enough to make one cry,still,this is a masterpiece!
Though I don't really like to talk about my personal info,but I know thee feeling of being bullied,entire time,inside and outside of school,non stop and I know how hard it is and how hard you try to get things going,and this movie really touched my heart as it also resembled me sometimes
but anyway
1:Story
The story is beautiful,for me it showed some real life events,good and bad and the author should be remembered
...
for decades for writing this masterpiece
If you have been bullied in school or anywhere else,you would know that the way every character went with the story was according to daily life
Some would learn lesson,some would not change,some seek your attention(either because of pity and kindness,or really are looking for real friends)some are selfish,all of these were shown in the story and the fact that most of the side characters did not felt like side characters
Long story short,it was beautiful
10/10
2:Art
I don't think any anime now a days are coming with poor art,like this art rating should belong to 2012 and before that
Its 2017 now,of course they are going to make masterpieces in the animations
10/10
3:Sound
Sound were accurate and synced well with the animation,every roll assigned to those voice actors were performed beautifully,every character belonged to their voice and personalities
10/10
4:Character Development
The movie is not short,they took their time and did their best
THe character development unfolds as the movie progresses
I know these personalities and I would say they were at least 80% accurate
Outstanding!
10/10
5:Enjoyment
I.in this 2 and half hours,not for a single moment,ever felt bored
From start to end,bullying to becoming friends,it was enjoyment and nothing else
The movie touches your heart from start to end,like there isn't any single moment of boredom
10/10
6:Overall
For anyone who watch or don't watch these type of movies,I would recommend it
Kimi no Na wa is only ahead because it was romance and has more emotional scenes,and Kimi No Na Wa is the best one I've seen so far
Again,Everything in this movie is outstanding,story,character development,animation,sounds everything you could think of
10/10

Watched it when I wasn't on MAL,it had been almost two years since i watched it(and MAL says i am a member for only 0.6 days)
Since I was new to anime,this show gave me quite the jerk,wasn't expecting the spoilers like that,all I thought"Hmm,another cute girls cute things and Moe Moe stuff",with that in mind I started it and the shock it gave me was so great that I fell in love with this show(I think I saw a fan art or something on Facebook,or G+ and decided to watch it,I never read anything what this anime is about or what genres it have,there wasn't
...
any specific genres i used to watch)
Art:
Because I was watching some old animes like Bleach(before 250 episodes i guess?)I didn't knew about animation and art better than that so that was quite the punch
Story:
Like I said,this anime got me off guard so turning of events was not expected by me
I was surprised
Voice and Sounds:
I mean why am I writing this?You can guess my love for lolis and moe moe stuff by my name right?
Character:
I don't know about this one,don't really remember how was the character development
Enjoyment:
Gustoso that was a tasty one
I did not want to give it a 9,but and 8 is low for it
It deserved 8.6 in my opinion

Well I am very late in case of watching anime and it would be very rare if someone would actually saw it
I am not going to explain story since there are other reviews for that(there are reviews for other things too but I am sharing my opinion)
May contain a spoiler or two
Let's start!
1:Story
Story was pretty good and was enjoyable,learning that Colorless King wasn't alone was quiet the fun too,Anna being in fights,Shiro being not clueless,the three Kings alliance all was good
9/10
2:Art and Animation
If you talk about the art and animation,both were good in terms of resolution and attractiveness,but the studio used same scenes over
...
and over again,from season one as well as season two
I didn't like their laziness at all,like use some new stuff!if you are spending Mooney on something then at least make it look like you put an effort and was not lazy or stingy
7/10
3:Sound and Voice
Again same case as art and animation,sound acting was fair but the fact that it didn't sync on some occasions,like Shiro saying something and his lips aren't moving,Anna doing something but her action doesn't resemble her words,Neko showing another emotion in speaking while showing off something else
very poor in my opinion,now a days,almost every 2 out of 5 anime is doing this sync thing which isn't great at all
6/10
4:Character
Since there weren't many new characters so they didn't had to put much effort,still Nagare's and Iwa-san's character wasn't explained very well,at least Nagare's character needed something more cause I understand that due to the spoiler they couldn't explain Iwa-san
9/10
5:Enjoyment
I enjoyed K season one and season two but there is less action and more strategy,there isn't much action involved as compare to season one and movie.Though the fighting wasn't as dope as season one,it was fair
9/10
6:Others
Although season one was pretty good,the studio tried harder to destroy its image in season two
There were times when i was like"WTF is going on?"as well as enjoyment.At some point,the anime gets so boring that you want to drop it,but last episode covered it all
It still doesn't explain the body switch,since Shiro was shown almost same in past,but didn't resembled(to me,you may not find any difference or agree with me)anything from last scene's Shiro
Also Sukuna was crying,he didn't shed a single tear,and more than that,he moved on quicker than the speed of sound,hardly five seconds of sadness?Spoilers shouldn't be like that!
7:Overall
I think the anime as a whole isn't so bad but some scenes or dialogues affected it
It at least deserves an 8 but I give it a 9
(To anyone who decided to waste his time on my review,thank you so much)
