Hikari no Ou (Anime) add

Recommended

Preliminary (4/10 eps)

I will first preface this with saying Fire Hunter's story and art all throughout these first 4 episodes have been good however I need to bring up with Fire Hunter's biggest flaw and that comes down to its budget. For some people this show might be a non starter due to the lack of polish in fight scenes or all the still frames throughout. If you are a person who thinks a show needs to have fluid and neat animation for it to be considered watchable this show does a subpar job at that.

Now that I have talked about its biggest flaw as a ... show let me try to convince why despite its budget issues and lack of animation polish this show is something should be watching. Firstly let me talk about the shows direction I find its direction to be a key proponent into hiding a lot of the animation issues such as shots of beautifully drawn still images or breaking up a scene into animation windows so the scale of what is being drawn is less amount of work. It uses a lot of close ups so we can get detailed animation of things that are not as hard to animate. The direction is dynamic like it will give you multiple shots as two characters are doing dialogue and instead of animating the conversation they decide to show details of where they are talking or what they are talking about. I have to give huge props to this shows director on the sheer amount of creativity this show has considering its huge budget issue.

I think it also important to state that the art style is quite beautiful despite its budget issues while there are parts where quality drops for the most part the anime looks pretty good.

Now that I have talked the animation and art I think I should talk about the most intriguing aspect of the show which is its story. It has a very expansive world that the show is trying to create and it is done so well because of how the two main characters are set up. As of now in the show the two main characters live far away from each other living separate lives and having no idea of each others existence. Some might say what's the point of splitting the two mcs up or having two mcs at all if they don't interact with each other at all so far however it works incredibly well. Touko is basically a girl who is from a small village who has to travel to the capital to return property of a now deceased Fire Hunter. Through Touko's eyes we learn about different cultures in different villages and people she meets along the way as she is on her journey we also learn about the dangers of the world such as firefiends and the damage they can do. Then we have Koushi who lives in the capital and from Koushi's perspective we learn about the science of the world as well as the political climate that the show takes place in. The show from a world building stand point is phenomenal and has laid a lot of ground work for the rest of the story.

If you are not bothered by an anime that is not always the most polished animation wise I highly recommend the show

Akiba Meido Sensou (Anime) add

Recommended

Akiba Maid War is one of the most bombastic balls to the wall story I have seen in a long time. The amount of tone changes this anime goes through is a roller coaster.

Story(8/10):
The show is centered around Nagomi she has just made it to Akiba and plans to work at the Oinky Doinky Maid Cafe. Unbeknownst to Nagomi Akiba is a very dangerous place where Maids are more like gangs and use excessive violence. Nagomi meets a maid who started the same day as her named Ranko. Ranko is an older maid who just got out of prison and has been in Akiba a ... long time. The show goes through multiple tone shifts the first few episodes start out as a comedy with a lot of nonsensical violence which will then shift to a more serious darker tone in later episodes. While the show it self never goes too far in the dark direction there are some serious moments in the series and have major implications on the characters. Some might find it a bit wonky but to me the transitions from comedy to serious is done well.

Music(10/10):
Honestly the first ep itself makes the music 10/10 for me because of the juxtaposition from scenes in the anime. The op is pretty fun and light hearted. The ed is like a james bond movie opening I liked it alot.

Animation(10/10):
It has bright colors pretty fluid animation and you can tell that the team who worked on it were passionate about this show.

Characters(8/10):
Not alot of the cast are fully developed however they are likable and get their moments to shine with each having one episode more focused around them. The manager is basically a comedic relief character she is a pretty funny character who is basically an idiot. Yumechi and Shiipon who are people who started working at oinky doink before nagomi. Panda is just someone in a panda costume. There are a few characters i wont talk about here due to spoilers but a majority of the maid staff is very likable. I will now talk about the three characters that the anime focuses the most on.

Ranko:
Ranko has been a maid for a very long time and eventually she goes to prison when she gets out she decides to go work at the Oinky Doink Cafe. She is a very serious character who is very protective of the people at oinky doink. Ranko's past is very central to the story where she shares a lot of similarity to Nagomi.

Nagomi: Is just starting out as a maid and is very oblivious to what is happening in Akiba in the first episode. She can be a bit annoying at times with her overwhelming positivity but she is a likable enough character and she gets better at the end of the show. Ranko and her relationship is very important to the story.

Nagi: She is the villain in this story. She is the head of the main maid company in Akiba. She is brutal, violent, and has a vendetta against the oinky doink cafe. She wants everyone to stay under her and she will kill people who cross her. Her and Ranko have a past and Nagi has made Akiba into this violent place.

Enjoyment(1000000/10)
While there is not some deep message, godly story line, or a perfect cast akiba makes up for its small short comings with heart and passion. Sometimes thats all you need in a show to be good. Everything from the nonsensical fights its dark comedy to its more emotional moments you feel something. On the surface it might just seem less than the sum of its parts but I've never seen a shown that can pull off pure comedy in one episode and then in the next episode have black lagoon seriousness and work as well as akiba maid wars. The show is not for everyone but its for me.

Urusei Yatsura (2022) (Anime) add

Preliminary (5/23 eps)

This show is just fun its not very deep or plot driven from what I've seen so far its more just comedic situations with the cast. It doesn't have some overarching plot or goal but more of a continuation of the MCs life after each comedic situation. It reminds me a lot of American cartoons where you have a given amount of characters and you put them into different situations each ep. I do not think this show is for everybody some people might find the show quite dated in its comedy or the characters can be seen as extremely cliché. However to me the ...

Preliminary (16/23 eps)

As of now I will share my thoughts on this series overall I do think there is so much hard work in this story and you can see how much effort WIT put into this. However I feel like this story is safe.

Story 8/10:
Overall its a nice story of watching a coming of age action adventure story. I like all the character backstories we are given there is so much depth in the story telling especially with the past events that happened before episode 1.However I have a major issue with how Baji progresses with him becoming the strongest after training with one guy to ...

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Part 2 (Anime) add

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

As a person who has never been the biggest fan of AoT this season is a giant step up from final season part 1. Mappa seems to have better art for this season hopefully this quality continues. This season seems way better paced as well my biggest problems with the first part of final season was there was too much build up without really a reward until this season. I do still think WIT overall executed the vision of AoT better however this is a much bigger step up.

Story 7/10: As for story the pacing feels better much more is going on its way ...

Don't be shaken by the bad average on Mal this show is one of the most endearing and entertaining comedies I have seen this season. You can see the passion in this anime when watching this you can see how much soul was put into this anime and the out come so far is pretty good. It mostly is a comedy that pays respects towards shows like the power rangers but it focuses on the people making the monsters. Every character in this show so far is given a chance to shine. While there is no set story or overarching plot its still one ...

Star Wars: Visions (Anime) add

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/9 eps)

Star Wars Visions has some really great moments with fantastic art but that is all that can be said about it. The story changes each episode and with each episode only being 15 minutes the writing is pretty shallow and lacks an attempt at depth. The stories are extremely cliche and generic. The reason for the decently high rating on MAL mostly comes from Star Wars fans and the hype surrounding it.I do not fault the studios animating this at all the art for a majority of the episodes I have seen is done very well however art can only take something so far. Disney ...

Dragon Ball Super (Anime) add

Recommended

As a longtime fan of dragon ball i appreciate this show for trying to move forward and putting the dragon ball franchise into a new age is it as good as the original no. Is it god awful like other people say it is no. The show is just goo nothing more nothing less.

Story(7/10):
Let me get this out of the way Battle of Gods arc and Resurrection F arc are not the best and are unneeded for the show. The movies are a much better condensed version of those arcs. They add to much filler and reuse parts of the movie in the show ... which to me just feels like a waste of time and honestly is the shows biggest handicap in terms of writing. However since you can watch the movie versions you can skip a majority of the the two weakest arcs in like 2-3 hours. After that Super begins to really shape up to be a good show. The universe 6 arc introduces us to another universe in dragon ball a parallel to the one the z fighters are from. We see these two groups clash and its entertaining and sets things up for a later arc in the series. Then we go to my personal favorite arc Goku black arc where we are introduced to one hell of a villain in zumasu. Who believes that mortals should perish for a better world. We get to see future trunks which is always a plus as well. Honestly this arc is one of the main reasons super to me is a good series. Then we go to the tournament of power arc which is a nonstop brawl for the survival of a universe. Where only one universe wont be erased and its a giant free for all. It has so many good fights in this arc and the action is non stop.

Art (7/10):
The art isn't the best but does standout in fights really well its a little inconsistent but it gets the job done and performs where its needed

Sound(9/10):
Honestly some of the music here is cool such as the UI music honestly its still ingrained in my mind

Character(8/10):
The main cast doesnt change that much however they are a little more simplified but they still are good characters.

Enjoyment(8/10):
This is a good show just to turn your brain off and have a good time. Its not a deep show thats gonna force you to think all the time you just get to watch good fights and a simple but a pretty good story.

Overall(7/10):
While this show has a rough start in its first two arcs the show gains a lot of momentum afterwards and honestly becomes a pretty enjoyable show. I reccomend to watch the movie version of battle of the gods and ressurection f and then start watching where the movie left off in the series rather than watching all the episodes.

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

So far this anime has been truly mystifying a lot of abstract plot with things being linked together not by events in the anime but events before the first episode. A lot of the plot so far is about trying to find out the rules of the world they are in and the powers of the students. The story is a mystery in trying to find out what caused the events they are in now and how do they return back to the place they belong. You begin to see them create a government system that is centralized where they government is almost authoritarian. Not ...

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

Hear me out this anime is not good, it is trash, very basic story, however this is extremely entertaining. Like it doesn't shy away from being trashy it knows what it is which is a trashy harem. You dont have to think when watching the show its mindless and its fun. Not every show has to be well written, be deep, or even have good characters when you have a show that is so out of left field and that it has so much irony and self awareness.

You wont miss anything if you dont watch it but its entertaining
