As the ending song said, "And you alright? I'M NOT ALRIGHT"
I think during my entire life, I teared up or almost teared up saying farewell to an anime maybe twice before and in both times, it was the finale for the ending of the series. But surprisingly I almost did tear up watching the final 2 minute of frieren. It felt like a complete story yet it has soooooo much more to give. I can now say, should it remain on this quality, Frieren will undoubtly go down as one of the best in anime history. Ma shaa allah
I'll try to keep my review short.
...
Watching Frieren has been an amazing experience. From well written diagloe to amazing and lovable characters. The anime has been very well planned to the point you rarely find anything to nitpick about. The thing about it as well is that it caters to almost anyone. Want fantasy? Sure have one of the best out there. World buidling? We have a world across thousands of years with very very different characters in them and you literally witness the fading of heroes and appearing of others. You want fights and love the action, I think this was one of the best well animated anime out there. It has a thing for everybody and I'm glad it represented all of them well.
I can't say how much I love the characters so kinda small advertising here but in 16 days (after Ramadan is over), you can check my video on it to cover more of that in depth.
The art, story soundtracks and most of all, the characters were some of the best I had ever seen. I really can't stress how much I loved them and I'm really glad many seem to do as well.
For the religious section/parental advisory, there isnt much. I think most was in Stark's birthday episode where very little back nudity, a scene from a weird angle and some jokes. The whole goddess thing is also stupid but I guess fantasy anime tend to have them.
Another scene as well when they were riding the carriage later on but nothing really too crazy. Watch it cut or speedup/skip those moments please.
Would give it a 10/10. Can't wait for season 2 and more Frieren Fridays.
We are during Ramadan so there are better things to do but if you have some free time and are done with all good you feel like you can do, I would recommend it and the cute side version of the Chibi characters. It's adorable.

From a light-hearted comedy show with few action scenes to an amazing show with wonderful world building, characters, heavy backstories and one of the best voice acting roles I have ever heard in my life (Ma Shaa Allah). Welcome to the fantastic world of Helck.
What I picked up as a comedy show due to what feels like a drought of good ones in months, turned out to actually be a very solid anime. An anime that started with a very unique premise of a hero trying to be a demon lord and the antic he faces along the way. From demons accepting him and others
...
feeling suspicious, I thought the anime would continue in that way but also felt from the first episode that there was more to it. More depth that I didn't expect to be this good.
What I really loved about Helck is how the story unfolds. You start in a simple yet funny way and keep integrating more and more things in your story. You see the first villian of the series and who he really is. You get to meet the first demon you consider a friend and you go through very well-written world building that just happens naturally as the story goes on. It's a simple way of story telling yet that really was the key point to me in finding its charm.
The characters were also amazing, from our main MC Helck to every other side character, each one is unique in the way they speak, interact and fight. The build up to the villians was also done well and the way they handled the plot twists for them was also great.
Also, there is Piwi. If you want one reason that I would whole-heartedly recommend this it's him. It really has been so long since I loved a character so much to the point of wanting filler moments in the show to continue just to see more of him even if the episode was fire.
PIWI is the GOAT.
The art and animation were good but nothing too crazy. It got the point accross and it was the lowest part of the show imo but it appears the budget wasn't amazing so it was still very good to watch.
I really loved the voice acting as well.
For the parental advisory/religious section, there isn't really anything bad in it. Apart from some human evolving garbage, demons are good and the 2nd op having some heresy words in it, the anime is very clean and wonderfully made.
If you still want more reasons, feel free to check my profile for a video on it.
Overall, I would give Helck a 9/10. Could've been a 10/10 but the animation and things stated above made it a 9. Hoping for a second season any time soon.
Would recommend it.

When it comes to the supernatural, we rarely get a story with very big depth to it. The main aspect is mainly around using the power, growing it to fight different guys with power and then ending up as the best. But rarely do we ever get the chance to actually do more with it. Despite the stupid idea of because people believe it then it exists, Mononogatari has always been capable of building up on the supernatural in a very fulfilling way.
When I started the first season of this anime, I didnt expect to enjoy it to the point of wanting a 3rd season
...
or looking forward to the next episode so badly. What started for me as a show that seemed interesting, turned out to be much more than that. It's a show about wonderful characters meeting, growing up and changing from bad to good.
What really makes Mononogatari stand out is the surprising depth each character has and specially our main character, Hyouma. The fact we see someone with a semi-corrupted being forced to become better is very unique and a breath of fresh air from all those good natured and mentally perfect main characters. It's that distinction that really sets him apart from many others. The rest of the cast are great and Botan, the main heroine, is just too adorable to ignore and glad to see she actually has a personality and can do things not just a plot device.
While the animation isn't perfect, which I assume is due to a low budget, the anime was able to perform very well on it nonetheless and kept everything interesting and kinda fluid which is good.
The ost, art, op, ed and the direction was amazing, ma shaa allah, and it showed the effort being put into it.
For the religious section/parental advisory, there is only like 1 character with semi-revealing clothes but she didn't appear for much so you can either skip those moments or watch it in a site that censors it, please.
Overall, I would give Mononogatari a 9/10.
Would recommend it.

Are you cool? Are you good-looking? Are you clumsy? And most importantly, are you a boy? If you answered to any of those with yes (or no doesn't really matter) then this is the anime for you.
It has been a while since I recommended a simple relaxing and heart warming slice of life anime. I think the last one was the Yuru Camp Movie and that was for obvious reasons but other than that, there have been less and less relaxing anime which is sad considering it is my favorite genre. So with this one, an anime about just clumsy good looking guys trying
...
their best and their every day life, felt like it was a perfect match for me. A show where I can relax once again and forget about anything for the brief 10-12 minutes every week.
While the anime's premise is simple, it had some very surprising moments. A good cast with some mature guys and some younger ones, all having to face troubles in their lives. Confidence, issues at work and simple overthinking. Each one was presented in a comedic way yet they all had mature moments that made me surprised. It really has an amazing yet normal cast and plot that it feels like you are watching your friends on anime form. Truly remarkable.
The art, osts, animation, characters and voice acting were all amazing. The directing also made this show feel so wholesome and relaxing I really felt like I wanted to recommend it. The comedy was also well-presented that I literally laughed at times specially when one of the guys was so worried about something he sent only to find that he sent the wrong thing after spending 2 episodes on it :D
For the religious section/Parental advisory section, please skip the later sections of episode 23 as it had some nudity (swimsuits) in it.
It's very clean apart from that.
Overall, I would give it an 8/10. I really liked it and looking forward to seeing (hopefully) more of it and more like it in the future.
Would recommend it.

When it comes to social anxiety or any general form of mental illness, we mainly see it in 2 ways.
It's either very depressing to the point you become unable to watch it, or it is only played as a cute gimmick to a character.
But rarely do we ever see it as an issue and something that needs to be fixed. Well, Bocchi the Rock has been a wonderful anime about that exact idea of trying to overcome a mental illness and how it actually feels having one.
Bocchi the rock has been an anime that took me by surprise. I got into it
...
at around episode 3 and I have been in love with it since then.
A story that is not really unique but preseneted in a very refreshing way with a good list of wonderful characters.
From Bocchi, our adorable yet always anxious main character, to the side characters that surprisingly make the show better and have an influence on them. Yet, despite having such a wonderful cast, I was really surprised with how good one single character was, Ichiji Nijika.
Never in my entire life have I ever a reaction to a character like that. Whenever a picture of her appears on Facebook, you see the top comment as a gif of someone crying that she is not real :D
I can see why as she pretty much is the reason Bocchi joined the cast in the first place and she is always being the positive energy character guiding everyone together as the shining light for them. She is a wonderful character and I guess I'm the same as those guys in wishing she was real :"D
Her self-sacrifical relationship with her sister of trying to make her sister's place grow big using her band for it and you understand why when you see her sister gave up on her band just to support and keep her little sister happy. It's a wonderful relationship rivaled only by Bocchi's mother always knowing how to help bring Bocchi from her delusions back to reality in a very subtle yet simple way.
The fantastic animation was amazing to see and really glad the show didn't turn into Yuri-nonsense when Kita was added to the cast.
Amazing art, animation, osts, plot, voice acting and directing that led to this show being such a big hit at least with me. (As of writing this, it has a 9.01 on MAL).
On the Ecchi meter, the anime is also amazing as it has almost no ecchi in it. Maybe one time Bocchi had a swimsuit yet had her guitar on it but that was only for like 10 seconds or so.
I would give it a 10/10. Really loved it and wishing to see more of it. It was one of the very few anime that literally I couldn't wait to make a video about it.
Would recommend it to everyone who wants to see a new refreshing take on social anxiety.

There may come a time in your life where you begin to devalue yourself. A period in which you feel that maybe you don't deserve anything. Not accepting yourself and feeling unjustifiable inferiority and thinking you are only filles with flaws. Mob Psycho is one of the best anime at addressing that and how to help yourself when dealing with it.
Mob Psyho is a perfect example of how to create a flawed main character and how to develop it. Starting from an average looking guy with nothing but psychic power that wishes to hide it and is always being used. You see a character
...
with no self respect nor self value. And somehow that character grows and you keep growing with it to the point it becomes a character you are proud of.
Each season of Mob Psyho builds on that. Mob in ep.1 and mob in s.3 ep.12 are so different that if you changed the design, he can pass as a new character. The same good traits but is actually changing sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. A fantastic character that always evolves and you now see how wonderful he is that his design suddenly is dear to you not a badly looking shape. That is probably the best character development I have seen in anime ever. Maybe even more than Eren (No including the manga)
This season of Mob Psycho is continuing with the characters we had and building upon them. So many depth to characters that become so much better and some even overshadow the MC despite how wonderful he is. We saw a tail of friendship and sacrifice. A tale of growing up. A tale of friends and how you need them and finally, a tale of friendship, love and accepting yourself. It was a truly fantastic experience.
Fantastic art, animation, tracks, voice acting and directing whixh lead to some truly outstanding moments.
No nudity as well, bar like one character's bare butt for like 3 seconds as a comedic joke, which was also good to see.
Would give it a 10/10 just like the rest of the entire series.
Would recommended it to anyone.

In an already established world with magic, power systems and supernatural beings (and what they consider gods for some reason), there is a very big flow in almost all fantasy anime that starts with those troupes, forgetting the existence of a family.
From the first episode of season 1 in Honzuki, we are introduced to an idea that has been expanded to a degree I never saw before, the value of having a family and how hard it is to write them. Yet, with every new season we are met with deeper level of depth to each character and how they relate to their family.
...
From Myne trying to get to know them, moving into her treasuring them while regretting what bond she had with her mother and reaching the current state of the family choosing to protect Myne and vice verse even if it would mean separating them from each other. The anime tries so hard to show how having a family has an effect on each character even showing the difference it has on one's personality like what happened to
Delia. Seeing something of that importance being emphasized is one of the main reasons this season was brilliant to me.
Introducing more characters was great. Having a Myne-like character that can out-myne her was great. The back and forth with the new nobles was super entertaining and most of all, the way these new characters integrated with the existing ones showed more of how well writeen the OG cast is. There was no sudden clicks between the characters when they are first introduced (apart from the Myne like one) and it took time to establish their character, motivation and what they truly thunk and feel. A nice change that I didn't know it needed but a welcome one.
The plot progression this season felt solid. It took a few episodes to build up the characters but for a 10-episode season, it felt like it had a lot of development. Some episodes legit felt longer because of how much happened in them and I was always very happy watching it unfold. Seeing our saint ready to throw hands at the end was great :'D
The art is decent and same with the animation nothing too spectacular but the op cinematic wasn't as good as the previous onea and the hirarchy system still feels off/random. Also, for aome reason even normal people are being called as a god now which just feels stupid. But tbf, almost all anime include dumb stuff when trying to add inner religion in there if that makes sense.
Overall, I would give Honzuki season 3 a 9/10. I really liked it and I wish to see more of it soon.
Would recommend the whole series.

With Yuru Camp seemingly moving towards its end and the recent conclusion of Non Non Biyori, I found myself falling back and remembering how those 2 helped me throughout my life. Whether it was the relaxation nature of Yuru Camp as it helped me through a very difficult period in my life, or the way Non Non Biyori taught me that life goes on and we have to try and enjoy every moment of it. Those 2 set the standard of how to make a Slice of Life anime, how to create good characters and how to build an expanding beautiful world though simple story
...
telling. So with one ending and another one seemingly getting there, I needed to find something to fill the void. And MAN DID I FIND A PERFECT ONE. IT HAS EVERYTHING!
To give you a general idea of what to expect of it, Slow Loop is a story involving some very wholesome yet heavy ideas. The show is about 2 step-sisters, who just met each other following their parent’s marriage after the death of their previous spouse. The main theme of the anime is one that I love dearly and its building relationships with oneanother. Friendship, family-bonds or even building a healthy habit for yourself and overcoming difficult parts in your life. The anime starts by providing a very simple idea which is fishing. We see how our 2 main characters met and how the anime used fishing as its way to drive the narrative of the story. What is good here is that the anime uses that simple idea to help you understand the inner nature and mind of each of them. Hiyori for example goes fishing alone because she lost her father who she always went fishing with. Koharu loves acting as the older sibling which could easily be traced to her losing her younger brother. The anime uses general ideas like that to not only provide a backstory for each character, but also to show that they have emotions. They have values and they try to cope with the feeling of losing something dear to you and trying to overcome and accept that idea.
One of the best parts about the anime is the comedy. The anime doesn’t try to make you laugh every second, but somehow, it always adds very subtly jokes that legit made me laugh out loud. I’m always surprised at how the anime adds that little bit of dialog with a very well-fitting facial expression, which just gets that laugh out of me.
Slow Loop excels at presenting drama, character development and actually dealing with issues. To discuss this part in detail, lets look at an example. There is a cute little girl called Futaba who is afraid that people might dislike her because she doesn’t have the same hobbies as the girls in her class. Instead of the anime relying on the general idea of “as long as you are having fun” and stuff like that, it showed our characters actually accepting that idea. It wasn’t thrown under the bus for a child just thinking too much, instead it not only allowed the other characters to understand her and her struggles more, it helped add some character depth to Futaba’s sister and break the idea of stereotypes that many anime fall into. Acknowledging and dealing with the person at hand not just solving the issue which turned out to be a much more realistic approach.
And just to emphasize, I need to talk about how brilliant the cast is. Despite having a relatively small number of characters, the best thing about the anime is that there are no stereotypes. No overly shy characters or tsunderes for example. Even when the anime introduced a tomboy, it enhanced her character to the point that you feel her being more realistic that way. The wonderful cast and the development they get left me in a satisfied state and it didn’t feel like a wasted opportunity.
There are two things I must mention as well.
First one is that the anime is super informative when it comes to fishing. You get to learn about fishing techniques, types of baits, when to go fishing, how to throw your fishing rod and even the different creatures and fish living in the ocean. It also goes on about how to cook these fish and the different way to enjoy them. That was super informative and actually helped me talk with one of my friends who absolutely loves fishing.
The 2nd thing I want to talk about or I guess just mention, is that the anime is super wholesome and cute with almost no dirty moments. Aside from around 5 seconds in the first episode when Koharu is first introduced so please just skip over them.
Slow Loop has been a very fantastic anime, it has been a while since a new anime has left me waiting for the next episode and somehow always manages to deliver. It’s a wonderful story about our characters, that help each other grow, have fun and cope with their loss and any issues they have in their life.
I would give it a 9/10 and I really hope for a 2nd season.
Would recommend it to anyone wanting to relax and have a laugh.

"I hope we can meet again some day" - Natsumi
I guess this is it. I'm pretty sure these words are meant for us the viewers so this really is the final bit of content we will probably ever get for Non Non Biyori. Or is it? At the very end it actually says "This is the end for now" which hopefully means any new content (I wish for another sequel) can be made in the future but as of now this is the end.
I think this is probably the best way to end a slice of life anime. No random romantic stuff. No over
...
the top drama. Not a random time skip ending. Just this. A day in the everyday life filled with happiness as we go towards the very end of the very best slice of life anime out there.
What I believe the director of this OVA meant was to show us from an outsider point of view that we don't need to worry about these characters. The far away shots where you see the characters but not able to hear the conversations which I believe emphsizes that these conversations will always happen. The characters will go on "living" like this in their own world and they will meet and have fun so this felt like a way of telling us to relax and be happy by knowing their fun times will always be there. It's a way of sending us off with a smile (and a few tears tbh) as we witness our characters' everyday lives continue in their sweet and wholesome way.
Out of all the things I didn't expect tho, the backstory of Ringe's first words. It really took me off guard specially with how the baby Ringe stories have always been so no need to worry Kaede, we all felt emotional :D
And to end everything off, we see Natsumi speaking with her friend in Okinawa and ending the anime with the first sentence I wrote and the one that makes me feel emotional despite all the effort that the OVA went into to not make us feel sad :"D
Thanks to everyone who worked on this, and to anyone that has been going with me in my journey of writing a review for each and every Non Non Biyori-related anime. It has been a wonderful journey.
To end off, I'll use the legendary sentence mr NakeyJakey said before in his videos, "I'm crying in the club right now". The OP being a homage to all the best parts also didn't help in that :"/
As always, I would give Non Non Biyori NonStop OVA a very deserved 10/10. 9.5 for the whole series btw.
Would recommend everything related to this series. Even the ones I rated kinda low.

Uramichi Onii-san is a very comedic anime with a HEAVY take on adulthood and life in general. What I expect to be a light hearted anime with some dark jokes here and there, turned out to be an anime that gave life lessons on how to try and handel your life. An anime that contains a genuinely great advice on how to try and help yourself even during the darkest times in your life. Let's talk about how great Uramichi Onii-san is.
Uramichi Onii-san is a story about 5 characters. A singer that lost her stardom. An introvertwith a heart of gold. A tsundere extrovert.
...
A guy that loves singing and a guy with Sever depression. They are all suffering from various things and they are tied by a tv program they do together to help teach kids about life and what is right and wrong. They must maintain their happy-go-lucky appearance to be able to keep their job and survive through their dark lives.
The characters in the anime are a big reason of why it is so good. They interact so well with each other and they support each other knowing that they are all suffering together in this place. With their unique and varying personalities, the anime keeps on building around them. The anime uses the characters to set up some very good jokes like having the kids throw savage comments at the characters or even something simple like a guy uncontrollably laughing at a word that sounds dirty.
The anime uses these moments and contrasts them well with the actual behind the scene stories. We get to know more about each character and why they became that way. We knew the dark story of Kumatani and how pure he is. We knew about the depression Uramichi is suffering from and the reason he keeps doing his job despite hating it. We knew about why Usahara always makes fun of Uramichi and we got to see how exactly our characters influenced each other. The anime starts as a comedy filled with dark jokes but as the story goes on, we got to see why exactly the dark jokes worked and we got to see how profound the characters are.
The dialgoue in Uramichi Onii-san was very well-written. The jokes were witty and straight up savage that it left me laughing a lot of times. Whether it be using the dark jokes to display the character's depressing lifestyles or even using simple jokes like Uramichi getting angry at Usahara or seeing Iketeru laughing at stupid jokes.
On the other hand, the real stuff was heavy.
"Why am I doing this?". "Is this what I should be doing?" "Society won't benefit from anything I do." "I feel guilty yet I don't know how make a meaningful use of my time"
"I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO LIVE ANYMORE."
This part hit different. It might have been that it broke the whole dark humor thing with the kids but I felt there was much more to that. It felt like I was talking to myself and questioning my life. That's why this part leaves a big effect on you.
"But at least, I don't want this time to be wasted."
That part right here, helping you understand that you can still control your life, is a big part of why Uramichi Onii-san is a great anime.
The art and animation are done well enough although when it came to showing Uramichi's depressed state, it was able to flawlessly capture how different the world is from his view compared to how it actually is. It displayed the mental perspective of Uramichi and how heavy the depression is affecting him which is a big plus in my book. It was also able to show how different the characters were from back in the past and how their lives affected them both physically and emotionally.
The voice actors were great and each of them did their job perfectly. It was funny listening to Miyano Mamoru laughing at stupid jokes tho :D
Overall, I would give Uramichi Onii-san a 9/10. A great anime that I would love to see more of.
Would recommend it to anyone looking for a comedy anime with a hint of depression.
