"Shinobi no Ittoki", when we hear this title, we know that we will have to deal with lots of people and their comparison with the emblematic "Naruto". But this kind of comparison is not tolerable, for a single concept. It's not like we do the same thing with the isekai. Shinobi no Ittoki is one of the most original anime, there are few like it.

Story :

The story can't prevent us from being curious, watching once a week was too difficult... The suspense, just at the beginning, is at its peak. There are twists and turns all the time, you never get tired of them. Every ... little moment feels important, there is no wasted moment in the script being for fan service or comedy. We have so much compassion to show the characters, their reactions link the story and make us get to know them.

Characters:

Some people might find some personalities too "cliché", they may not have worked enough at this level. But these are the kind of clichéd personalities that we always cling to. Their kindness, their eccentricity... It's sometimes touching just to see them together. It was amazing to feel so much compassion when something happened to them, I tried to understand their decisions, and I understood that it was hard.

Music :

This mixture of traditional and modern, it shows the main quality of anime, a mixture of ninjas in a modern world, it's a perfect mixture. The opening theme touches me every time something sad happens in the anime. "The gray colored emotion that gets tangled up and sways. I can't catch up to the reality that's moving so fast. Healthy, cultural and at least the bare minimum" If I wouldn't have known the opening lyrics, I still would have guessed it was Shinobi no Ittoki, it's unique to that.

Animation :

When making an original anime, the art does not depend on that of its adaptation and its success will not depend on its resemblance, since there is none. I find it hard to imagine a manga or Light Novel based on Shinobi no Ittoki, the art is perfect as an anime, the animation is beautiful. The lights, the colors, the fights, I couldn't find a single fault. If 2022 anime looks like this, I can't wait to see 2023.

Shinobi no Ittoki would really suit everyone, anime pundits might not like it, because he just doesn't find it original enough, I realize that, but originality isn't everything in a anime, there are so many isekai that look alike but they are all different. I really recommend Shinobi no Ittoki.

"The whole world is a theatre, And all, men and women, are only actors. And our life during we play several roles.""Better to die misunderstood than spend your life explaining yourself." At the time I was just a poor anime fan who would rather laugh stupidly in front of my TV than reflect on life while reading plays, that was before... Ah, excuse me, do you want a cup of tea ?

Story :

The work behind the story of Zetsuen no Tempest shows a lot, Shirodaira did not just put what came to mind. There are a lot of eventful events and no moment of respite ... with which you can unplug your brain and have a good laugh, no, you always have to be concentrated, I advise against skipping some moments, otherwise it's really incomprehensible. The romance goes very well with the story, the flashback events are very well chosen and do not come out of nowhere, to wonder if the idea of flashbacks had already been planned. The story lasts 24 episodes, I really recommend having the time, impossible to watch without chaining, the suspense is too powerful.

Caracters :

Can I know why everyone is smart ? Why isn't there the little idiot in the story that I always recognize myself in ? Anyway... Because of that, the characters don't really have a way to be endearing. It's quite difficult to like the characters because it's "cute", I can understand that it was really not the purpose of the anime (to ask if it really has one then...) But for the debates, the implementation of strategies, I think it's better, these kinds of scenes are really thrilling. We try to get to know everyone's personality in order to predict their reactions and how they're going to cope, and that's how we end up really hanging on to this anime.

Music :

I kind of have this impression that the endings don't really have anything to do with the anime, yes, they're romantic music, but they don't really resemble the point of view of the serie. On the other hand for the openings, it's perfect, we really have this very action and suspense side of the first part, and this side a little more soft and romantic, but which remains all the same very hectic, and the opening express perfectly. The OSTs only make the scenes even more thrilling or "cute" romance-wise. But I still find that there are not many that I really remember, with a little more rhythmic OST, it would have been perfect.

Animation :

I'm not one to find bad animation, it's animation, it's enough for me to consider a series as an anime. The movements are very well done, no problems, everything is fine. However for the animation, even if it dates from 2012, it seems very simple. I can't really judge the animation, again it's from 2012, I'm not really sure how the animation was considered great at that time.

I can really recommend Zetsuen no Tempest to anyone, it's really one of the anime that has all the genres we can know (let's forget School Life, from the beginning we knew it would not be possible.) The more I think about what the anime lacks, the more new things I find it has.

A slow romance, generally, that's the type of the romance cute, so cute because of the innocence of the caracters... The more I watched, the more I melted.

Story and Caracters :

Yes, Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii's not the perfect cute romance. Yuri's saying always the sames things realizing, it gets repetitive. But I can forgive that, Yuri stops declaring his love like that, the story will become weird and will be less cute. I love the reactions of Yuri, he always say his maid is strange, even if in love with she, that's repetitive, but not disturbing. I love his innocence too, he's not realizing ... what he say, and belive that's magic, that's remember me Chunnibyo. I love Lilith too, she's understand all like us, she's the perfect seme caracter for a Straight Shotacon, all the story, I tought she's a maid at the manor just for love, because with these thoughts, Like trying to get his attention, I always tought, "Just say "I love you" please, you are one of the best lovers with Yuri !" That's so cute I didn't pay attention to the age.

Music and Animation :

There're two studios for this anime, and that's shows. I love the colors and the lights, there's no things dark, and that's enjoy we more this cute romance. That's not colored too, just perfect. I love the opening, "Su-Suki janai !" the words of the song are just perfect for the story, just the title : "I don't lo-love you !". For me this is Lilith who is singing. Others musics are typical of Slice of Life or School Life anime.

Overall, I think the story can't satisfied everybody, that's a Straight Shotacon, but I recommend this anime who love cute romance or even just Slice of Life, even you don't like Schotacon.

We don't love a cliché of Isekai, unfortunately, "Sword Art Online" is one of cliché for me.

Story :

I don't love the story of Sword Art Online, again, that's cliché, a overpowered main caracter will meet some girls who fall in love of him in a video game. And if we love Sword Art Online, this is generally for the action, the story's not enough worked, if there're some moments interesting, it's because it leads to a fight, just another fight and again... it shows too much. I see so much action that I've come to really care about mystery-solving moments, or even romance.

Caracters :

For ... a first time in isekai, we have a clever main caracter, his personnality is a little different than others Isekai. For the girls, I never succeeded to love Asuna, her personnality is the cliché of the nice girl in love. She's serves to say " I love you" to the protagonist, and become the waifu of Sword Art Online. For others girls, they are a good personnality, not cliché, and i like their reactions to their love.

Music and Animation :

There's only one OST we remember, the theme of the fights, of course. I admit, openings and endings are really bangers, I love the musics in Sword Art Online, perfect for enjoy action moments. The animation... I don't have words to say, that's A-1 Pictures after all, we see the work of the animation, the fights have no defaults, the mouvements are fluid, we see, the caracters are not robot.

After all, I just like Sword Art Online because of the work, the beatifuls fights, the animation and the music. I'm really not going to read the Light Novel. But I recommend the anime at the fan of romance, it's a little a quick romance... There's too who loves psychology, there's many feeling of caracters can touch us !
