This is just your generic fantasy adventure world anime. Swords, Magic and Monsters and all that.
There's nothing special about the animation and the pacing between episodes could/should be faster. It almost feels like its a parody on the whole genre and that's actually the best part of it, just cram a ton of generic fantasy tropes together into a amalgamation and somehow it works.
The OP sounds like those old mecha anime OPs back in the 90's. Over the top and dramatically manly, it's so bad that it's good lol.
Minus the comedy and fantasy it actually tells the viewer a basic lesson which is "Work hard

Spy x Family Season 2
(Anime)
add
An enjoyable season of Spy x Family, continuing tropes from the previous season there's a lot of funny times and action scenes sprinkled between the episodes. As usual Anya's variety of facial reactions and hard hitting one liners like "Jigoku ni ochiru, Baby!" never gets old in my book. Banger OP and ED themes both in audio and visually as usual, I especially like the ED by Vaundy.
The art is great and the characters' facial expressions really pop out when they're in focus, especially Anya. In my opinion you can wrap up the season on episode 10 but the Becky episode/11 was hilarious and the finale ... Nov 29, 2023
Yoake Tsugeru Lu no Uta
(Anime)
add
An adventurous coming of age story of 3 friends on their way to find out what do they really want to do with their future lives, is it Tokyo where they'll ultimately go or will they find something more magical on their not so sleepy fishing town island?
Visuals are fun and endearing might I say. I'm a sucker for movies about music, while I won't claim to be able to explain the intricacies of its music, All I can say is from the ears to the brain and the heart, it sounds good and it makes me feel good. A very enjoyable film to watch if you ... Sep 27, 2023
ARK:Romancer
(Manga)
add
A very strong start only to be ended prematurely.
Art is good as you would expect from Kim, So-Hee but thats about it, The ending itself was so bad that actually stopping on chapter 7 would have given you the reader a better experience overall. It took 7 chapters to build the world and took 3 to end it. Had a lot of potential but the author abandoned it in favor of a newer project. (He is known to pull these kinds of stunts, Freezing's not even finished yet after all these years.) Truth be told it feels like a more mature and gorey Sora no Otoshimono but ... Sep 17, 2023
Dungeon Meshi
(Manga)
add
Adventurous in both the normal sense and gastronomically! It provides an obvious answer to the age old question; "What do adventurers inside dungeons eat?" when they run out of rations? Then obviously the next best thing is fresh ingredients from the dungeon and it won't get any fresher than the remains of the monster you and your party just killed.
Eating and cooking using monster as ingredients. And maybe just maybe our daring party might save Laios' sister along the way. The extra pages filled with recipes of their meals is a nice touch of lore. Overall a very pleasant read. Sep 12, 2023
One of the best hentai OVAs I've seen in a while. This one like its R18 Doujinshi and the SFW Manga are all very good and revolve around the same story.
Am I jealous of Imaizumin-kun? OF COURSE I AM!! It would be way weirder if you weren't. Living together with 3 JKs, having sex on the daily and what's more its filled with an extra special ingredient! L-O-V-E. The H-scenes are passionate and very lewd. A 18+ Harem hentai with love? Sign me the hell up for more of those! not to mention episode 4, Oh boy you're in for a treat! You're definitely going ... Sep 12, 2023
Let me start with the review with this, The animation is horrid. It's like playing one of those Doujin eroge made with RPG Maker, the only difference is at least with this one you'll be handsfree to do your business.
Let's talk about the story, It starts with an island filled with people who are so inbred that they hit their genetic limit. What does that even mean? The females can no longer get pregnant with the males on the island and that's where the MC comes in! (literally). The saving grace of this OVA? the Voice-work, while nothing groundbreaking it's probably enough to at least ... Sep 10, 2023
Violet Evergarden Movie
(Anime)
add
A great conclusion to the series, I would be lying to say that I didn't want more scenes of Gilbert and Violet happy together. That scene in the during the credits simply does not satisfy me fully but it'll have to do. The side characters getting their own developments is a nice touch as well and holds the story together.
Violet and Gilbert finally reuniting is probably the biggest selling point to me here, the emotions I felt during the last few minutes were no short of a rollercoaster ride. My sadness was overpowered by my anger to Gilbert because he did not start running immediately ... Sep 1, 2023
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu
(Anime)
add
Sparkly, cute, warm, clumsy and oh so sweet! It ticks all those boxes. Albeit it started a bit slow, anything beyond episode 3 had me practically fanboying/giggling over their interactions. It got so much better in the later half that I ended up binge watching it all in one go.
Admittedly I did not appreciate the OP/ED themes at first but as the story progressed they really grew on me, I felt from the heart that the songs were complementary to ambiance of the show. Shayou is a banger. This as romcom as it gets folks and I have gained so much happiness from watching this ... Aug 4, 2023
The first season had way better pacing in my opinion and it felt like way more things were accomplished.
The whole premise of season 2 is blatanly focused on Ryouma and Eliaria getting seperated because the former wants to become an adventurer and travel while the latter has to attend a school far away to improve her knowledge and abilities. Most of the episodes are portrayed as their letters to each other and most of the episodes end with one or the other reading said letters with a slight hint of longing. Both songs are nice on the ears especially the ED "Drum Shiki Tansaki". It's ... |
