Just Because! (Anime) add
For many years now, the anime genre “romance” has definitely given us a VERY wide frame of shows. It has the extremely perverted harem shows, the cliche action-ecchi show, the very annoying super-natural "romantic" shows. This anime however is free from all of the above -it is a slice of life- it is like taking a breath of fresh air after being cooped in a smoking room for 6 hours.

Now that I have said all that; please let me make a review as short and informative as possible.
The story is extremely slice of lifistic- uh I mean realistic. Everything about it, the characters actions, developments, ...

Have you ever watched an ero being played? Note: I have not even done this before.

Well this is basically a REALLY high-definition recording of an ero game, wait it is more like a role play. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that only Airi's face was shown through out the whole thing.
It is hard to rate it; the role play (for so I shall call it) was made up of what happened after Airi confessed (don't get excited, it was only text) to the previous main character [Airi is the main character of THIS series.]
The art however is really good- if you remember ...

Actual Name: Love Hina: Final Selection
More suitable name: Love Hina: Final Recapitulation(recap)

Sorry to disappoint all fanboys like me who were expecting something epic, something awesomely grand and romantic like that in Love Hina Again. I must admit that Love Hina Again was really great.
This thing is basically a recap- for the better part of the wpisode(about 25 minutes) the characters were being introduced and the story was being summarized.As if ANYBODY would watch the final episode without watching the prequels.
It is safe to say that most people already knew who he ended up with (in Love Hina Again) this just reinforces it...
So pretty much no ...

Name: KissKiss.
Synopses: An ad for a candy.

If you are anything like me, you might wonder, what on earth do boyfriends and kisses have to do with candy???!
Honestly, I still don't know the answer to that question but hear me out, for I will do my best to write what they call a 'review.'

Story;
Each episode was 5 minutes, where 1 minute was taken for a song. (Making 4 minutes.) In that 4 minutes, I felt like Sherlock Holmes trying to decipher what was the point of this whole thing..
I usually ran out of time before I could figure it out. This is my deduction of ...

Preliminary (4/8 eps)
{This review was deleted for being 'preeliminary' so I decided to watch some more episodes. I regret making that decision though.}

First of all I want to meet the smart person who did not tag this as hentai, because as sure as hell it is.

Thinking that the story might be interesting (and because it was one of the few airing romance anime's in early 2020) I decided to try it out.

It was terrible.
It is my first time rating a show so; but terrible it is.

Story2/10
Like most hentai shows it doesn't have a plot at all- just a perverted guy f***ing his sister(s). Well the story DOES ...

Preliminary (20/98 chp)
I usually don't do light novels.

Mostly because they have too slow progression, too many cliffhangers, and too much Japanese.
Sounds like I am being pick, huh? Well whatever, let me begin the interesting task of glorifying this novel. (I mean reviewing)

The story is quite well known- the protagonist finds panties attached to a love letter; so he sets on a humorous quest to find the sender. The sender has been found a long time ago- in the anime, manga, and the novel. The story however, continues to introduce more and more people with different fetishes.

I really don't know how to rate art that doesn't exist ...

If you are romantic comedy fan like me -or even if you are not- you might have wondered what happens when two dense people fall in love with each other...

The answer is simple: Jistsu wa Watashi wa or 'Actually I am' in English. This anime provides the EXACT answer to the question above- oh by the way it is an adaptation of a manga by the same name. Weird beginning? Check. Semi-introduction? Check. Informative information (doesn't have to make sense)? Check.
Oh well I think I should be able to start reviewing now.

Story 6/10.
Since you probably already the story, there is no need for ...

{This review goes through a lot of topics like the MC's weakness and the story's decency. Feel free to skip at parts that don't interest/concern you.}



It is no big secret that Rosario to Vampire is trash.

It is considered so by most people at least. However, I like it; I found it very interesting, but now that I have to state the bare facts,I have to admit that the show seems really bad. Hear me out, for here comes my review.

Story.
The story is that this human guy (whose name is Aono Tsukune btw.) Somehow, he ended up in a school for monsters and he has to ...

"The best anime of the year"
This comment I have found severally when people talk about Kaguya-sama:Love is war. It is true that it was funny and had me cracking most of the time but was it really all that? I mean there is Go-tobun no hanyome and a lot of other legendary anime's in 2019, was this one really the best?
That is what I shall endeavor to tell you what this show is all about in the fastest time possible, for I really want to watch something else.

Story...
I trust you have read what this is about, so there is no need for me to paraphrase ...

"If to be truthful is to be cruel, then lying must surely be an act of kindness" [Hachiman]

How can one not help liking such logical yet incorrect reasoning?
This anime is in no way the first to have an 'antisocial' protagonist, but it is DEFINITELY the best. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku or Oregairu2 is probably one of the best romance comedies out there and I will now go on to tell you why.

Story 7/10.
It is safe to assume that the reader would have probably watched the first season- if not please do so as it is fundamental. In any case ...
