I seriously have no idea who this was made for. I feel like it was specifically made to cater to people who have already swore off on never watching One Piece because of how long it is. And yet, those people still can't watch this as their introduction to the series, since this arc takes place in the middle of the entire series which means you still gotta watch the first 516 episodes that came before it to understand what the heck is going on. And even still, the pacing is TOO fast now to where you can barely keep up with whats on screen.
...
Some footage looks flat out sped up, character interactions and story beats sometimes don't make sense because of context that was trimmed out, which I'm guessing they just assumed the people who've already seen this arc in full would just fill in the gaps on their own. But then that begs the question, once again. WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR!? Yes, I know this was made to give both Oda and the anime team time to prep for the final saga (which I still can't believe is finally happening) and this was just a nice extra to tide us over so we weren't without something to watch for 21 weeks. And yes, the new animation is spectacular, especially in comparison to the original episodes. But every single other thing about this edited arc was a downgrade in every single way. One Piece is long for a reason. It takes the time it needs to tell it's story. You simply have to be ok with that. Trust the process and enjoy the journey, rather than trying to look for shortcuts in getting caught up just so you can be watching something you deem to be "relevant". Just watch One Piece. Just try. The only thing stopping you is your own excuses. I promise you that any attempt at cutting corners in the journey will only serve to sully your overall experience. Just take a chance in starting, and keep moving at a steady pace. You'll be so much more thankful that you did.

This is currently my anime of the year. This is currently one of my favorite shows of all time. This was so unbelievably perfect in every single way. It had me hooked from episode 1 and in tears all the way to the very end. It's a beautiful story about never giving up on your dreams, but also finding the people who believe in you and want to support you and ensure you never feel hopeless or alone in the world. It's astonishing how one's life path can be completely determined by the support system they have in their childhood. Some dreams are never achieved
...
because of lost time that can never be reclaimed. While someone on the brink of despair can be saved and have their whole life turned around all because of ONE person who saw something in them that they weren't able to see in themselves, anymore. But regardless of what was lost and what past life you were were dealt in the past, there's always a path forward. It may not be the one you set out for, but the ability to see your dreams through and smile after loss and hardship will always be attainable. This show spoke to me on such a deep, personal level. That will always be the defining factor in what makes a show an all time favorite for me. It wasn't just because the characters were fantastic or because the music was amazing or because the animation was spectacular. It was because I saw both past and present versions of myself on screen and was able to learn lessons alongside the characters that can lead to a path forward, towards a brighter future in my real life. There's simply no feeling more powerful than seeing yourself in a creative work. If you're feeling lost, burnt out, or alone in your passions, please watch this show. It was such a healing experience for me and I'm thrilled to know that there's still more to come in the future. I don't know if this show will be surpassed by the end of the year, but the impact it had on me is one that will last a lifetime.

Similar to Horimiya, a lot of the drama surrounding the main character is stuff that occurred off screen and in the past, so the show is more so the aftermath of a character whose spent their whole life in darkness and solitude finally finding friends and discovering the will to live. It's very uplifting to see her find a place of belonging, but I wish I was able to go on the actual journey with her. I felt really disconnected with the rest of the cast and didn't entirely understand why they all became friends in the first place. The love interest is also sorta
...
whatever and I don't really think there was a whole lot of chemistry between the two of them throughout the show. The animation is really good, and the opening and ending themes are both fantastic! Would honestly recommend the show just so you could listen to those! It was fine, but I'm just constantly wishing for high school rom-dram-com shows where you spend time with, learn about, and end up caring about EVERY character. Its happened in the past and those shows went on to be some of my all time favorites. So it's always sort of a let down when there are so many characters that really only feel like filler and I don't ever get any proper time with. Overall, it was fine. A cute lil rom com to hold me over until Skip and Loafer Season 2 comes out.
7/10
Also that dad was so stinkin stupid. 0/10 for the dad.

When I saw the title, I was like "Oh, is this gonna be like Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School? This might be kinda fun!" But instead, it's just... the teacher has a uniform fetish. And works as a teacher so that he can look at people in uniforms... and is constantly getting harassed and insulted by his students (rightfully so) for constantly trying to force his annoyingly obsessive and creepy fetish onto a bunch of high schoolers... Can we stop getting shows with absolute garbage protagonists that everyone gravitates towards and worships as a hero JUST because they're the main character? The amount of times
...
this show had a character say something along the lines of "Despite our teacher being a creep and a loser and an idiot and having no backbone or redeeming qualities whatsoever, he's still a good guy and I'll always trust and support him!" Like, NO! HE ISN'T A GOOD GUY! HE'S DONE LITERALLY NOTHING TO MAKE YOU LIKE HIM OR TRUST HIM! HE HAS ZERO REDEEMING QUALITIES AND DOESN'T CONTRIBUTE TO ANY STORYLINE OUTSIDE OF JUST BEING IN EVERY EPISODE AS THE MAIN CHARACTER! Haruaki Abe might very well be my least favorite character in all of anime. Not only is he insufferable to watch in every episode, but he has THE MOST nauseating voice I've ever had the displeasure of listening to for 24 episodes. I typically don't try to bad mouth any of the voice actors when writing reviews, and I've heard this seiyuu in plenty of other shows and thought he was totally fine. It's just the specific voice he gave this one character that was absolutely unbearable and only adds to the list of reasons why I hate him with every fiber of my being. If I ever have to hear his shrill "SANO-KUN!!!" scream one more time, I very well might just throw up on the spot. Also why is every single class subject and assignment about Yokai and the different types of Yokai and the history of Yokai when every single student is a Yokai and lives in a Yokai-only society!? Shouldn't they already know all of this!? I get its just an excuse for the human viewers to learn stuff and for the human teacher to feel completely out of his element. But like... I struggle to understand why a school like this even exists when it seems that every single activity these characters take part in has to do with being a Yokai. Also, despite them all being Yokai, the vast majority of them all look like generic humans in generic school uniforms, simply because that's easier to draw. And as most classroom casts go, there's way too many characters to actually get attached to anyone. Especially when most of the show is just spent with the annoying teacher and the same two students whom he seemingly adopts in episode 1. I definitely think this show would've been a lot better if one of the students was the main character (probably Utagawa) and all the time that was wasted on stupid uniform jokes got spent developing characters and telling an actual story. I seriously can't fathom anyone enjoying this show, outside of a few 13 year old boys who haven't matured enough to realize that a teacher creeping on all of their students isn't funny in the slightest. There wasn't a single enjoyable episode in the lot. Next to no character development outside of maybe 3 episodes. And one of the worst main characters I've ever had the displeasure of viewing for 24 episodes. There are shows I watch as they air where I end up wishing I had waited until it was finished to start watching it because of how much I'm enjoying it and wanna see more than just an episode a week. And then there are shows like this where I am forever thankful I never had to stomach the torture of viewing more than one episode a week, because of how immensely unenjoyable the entire experience wound up being. The breaks from week to week truly were the highlight of the whole experience.

I have a feeling I would've liked this one a lot more when I was younger. It's a CLAMP series, meaning that the things you've come to expect with a CLAMP series are present here; for better or worse. Definitely didn't lean TOO far into inappropriate territory as some of their other works though, which I appreciate. It's a very cute and simple show. Very good character designs, especially the angel dolls. Its connection to a certain other CLAMP series was also an interesting surprise. Though, you can totally watch this without having seen the one its loosely linked to, no problem. I do appreciate
...
how the show seemed to be respectful of your time. Every battle starts and ends in the same episode, which I appreciate (Yu-Gi-Oh could never!). I think only 2 episodes didn't have a battle in it, so the majority of your time will be spent watching fights. I would've enjoyed spending a bit more time fleshing out the characters in-between fights, though. I do think the main storyline between Misaki and her mother is a liiiiiiiiiittle silly, but it didn't completely ruin the experience for me. Apparently it was even more nonsensical in the manga, so I'm glad the anime went to lengths to try and fix some things. All in all, a short, sweet, simple time.

That awkward moment when the "freakishly tall" character is almost a foot shorter than you...
This is one of those shows you can figure out if you're gonna like it or not just by watching the first episode. Just your typical rom com with a VERY overdone "will they or won't they" that's played out for 24 episodes when the outcome was so incredibly obvious that it all could've been done in just 1. While I definitely think the episode count could've been trimmed down, each episode is still incredibly fast-paced and jam-packed with various scenarios and set pieces; albeit very samey scenarios and set pieces.
...
The visual gags were also a lot more over the top than I was expecting. Nothing "laugh out loud" funny, but I can see it being that for somebody else. There's also some, shall we say, very dated writing in it, just a friendly warning. The dub, which came out 20 years after the original show thankfully makes an attempt to fix some of these issues and make it more accessible to a modern audience. But if you'd rather just avoid the show altogether due to these stereotypes, I completely understand. In the end, it all just boils down to whether or not you enjoy romances that involve two people teasing, fighting, and insulting one another until they get together in the end, or couples that... actually like each other.

This is a general review of all 3 Heaven's Feel films.
I couldn't stop laughing at Shirou's stinkin six-pack.
Been waiting to see this for such long time! I've grown to really love the Fate series over the years and have loved seeing all the different interpretations and story paths that it has to offer. All of which are incredible and stand on their own as one of the best experiences I've ever had in anime! And throughout all my time with Fate, I have CONSTANTLY been wanting more time to be spent delving into the life of Sakura. Because, to put it bluntly, you can't just
...
show me Fate/Zero and expect me to just forget and move on from that! If ya know, ya know! But like, HOW they could've kept me in the dark for so long after making me witness THAT, I have no idea! But it finally paid off. And as I should've expected, this is staggeringly different than what I've seen from Fate in the past. I'd say out of all the Stay Night stories, this is the one filled with the absolute most darkness and despair. It's a very tragic and often uncomfortable watch, but one that I've been bracing myself for such a long time. I do think that making this into 3 movies instead of an episodic series was the best move. The first film is mainly just the initial setup of the characters and the Holy Grail War that we've already seen multiple times at this point. So I appreciate them trying their best to give us the cliff-notes version of the prologue. Though, as a result, I definitely can't recommend this as anyone's introduction to Fate. As it was specifically made in mind that it'll be watched by people who are already familiar with this world and its rules. This story definitely didn't go in a direction that I was expecting, but that's what I appreciate about it. It didn't just swap out who would be the protagonist of a story we've already seen. It did something entirely different while still showcasing the legendary animation, music, and writing that Fate is known for. I have no idea if this is the end of the road for Fate. I'll gladly return to this world and these characters as many times as they'll let me. But if it truly is the end, I'm glad that this character finally got to see her story all the way through to the end.
Film 1: 7/10
Film 2: 8/10
Film 3: 7.5/10
Overall: 8/10

This is a review for the entire series, as of 2023.
Minor Spoilers
This one's... weird. So it's about this couple who literally get married right as soon as they meet each other. Just cuz yolo. And the ENTIRE TIME, I kept thinking to myself "Ok, what's up with this girl? There's gonna be a twist, like she's just using him for money or the boy is actually in a coma and none of the events of this show are actually happening." There is eventually a setup for "The Twist" revealing itself, but at this point in time, the manga is still ongoing and the anime hasn't
...
fully revealed it to us what the big secret is.
It's fine if they wanted to wait on it because they had a lot of story to tell beforehand, but they really don't. It's mainly just a slice of life romcom about this very loving and supportive couple who have almost everything go right for them in every single situation... and a dozen nonstop jokes about a guy getting flustered over being intimate with a girl for the first time in his life. Everyone is understandably freaked out at first when they discover this super young married couple who tied the knot overnight without telling anyone. But they just sorta move on. A lot of the minor characters I feel like are either very annoying or pointless. Like, I'd really just rather focus on the couple and the eventual reveal of "The Twist". But instead, we gotta have this 14 year old girl talk about how she's excited to watch her 18 year old friend make out with his wife for the millionth time and encourage the two of them to take a bath together, all while accusing the guy of being a creep for simply... liking his wife... but of course, it's not sexual harassment when a girl does it, teeheeheeheehee! (which is an actual line in the show and I can't even begin to describe how mad it made me) There is a lot of other humor and entertainment to be found outside of all that, though. It does have some legit funny moments and a lot of references to other games and anime, which was fun. The openings for seasons 1 and 2 are both great; especially 2! I definitely think this show would've been a lot more solid if it was shorter. I certainly do like slice of life shows, but with the wild introduction this one has, I feel like it really should've just focused on the story bits and on the two leads and what they've gone through before and after meeting one another. I am looking forward to seeing how it all ends, I just wish that time will come sooner, rather than later.
6.5/10

First things first. Just getting to hear Kylie McNeil in another anime film was well worth the price of admission. It still blows me away that Belle was her first voiceover role. And her work as Kimi in this film was also phenomenal and completely distinct from her performance as Suzu. And the rest of the cast was just as fantastic! Really happy for her and hoping I'll continue to hear from her in the future!
But ya, other than that... this film was just fine. I guess I went into it with a bit too high of expectations. Not just with having Kylie involved,
...
but also having this come from the creator of A Silent Voice. I was expecting a really emotional experience, but instead I was left with some absolutely stunning animation and not much else. It kept feeling like they were setting up each character's backstories to be heavily involved in the plot, and also planning to have their relationships go somewhere as the film progressed. But it all just sorta stayed stagnant from beginning to end. The whole gimmick of the movie, Totsuko seeing the colors of the people around her, also doesn't really amount to anything. I feel like it was just an excuse for the animators to play around with some of the visuals. But even without it, the animation looked phenomenal. So you really didn't need those extra segments or incorporate it into the story, in my opinion. You also don't really get to hear any singing until the end, which was a bummer. And once you finally do, the film just... ends. Like, there REALLY wasn't any sort of resolution to anyone's stories, nor did they even end up having relevance to the overall narrative. And some people may be totally fine with that; just a chill slice of life experience. But with the people who were involved and their portfolios of immensely emotional pieces that they've made in the past, I was just left feeling kinda disappointed. It was just... ok.

WOW. Simply. WOW. This is a collection of three short stories, all from the same studio but with completely different creators behind them, and every single one of them was absolutely phenomenal. All of them had a completely different and gorgeous art style, entirely different setting, music, "world rules", everything. They were all completely unique but all equally impressive. I'd be just as impressed if I had just seen one of these on its own. But seeing three masterpieces back to back like this was exceptionally enjoyable. I'd gladly be first in line to see this studio do something like this again. It said "Volume
...
1" when the title appeared, so I'm hoping more than ever that I get to be amazed and impressed by this studio all over again in the future.
