Maybe it's just because it had a strong second half, but I really enjoyed this season. Unlike the first season, it's a bit more streamlined in terms of keeping to plot in one place. In the first season, you had a lot of short stories that grew the characters, but didn't always relate strongly. In this one, it focuses on the collage and the students, with all the plots weaving together nicely.
I know some complained about focuing too much on the side characters, but I felt they were all done well. I liked how they all had a fleshed out story/background with relatable issues. I

This one is a little tough for me, since the pacing of this show isn't consistent. The world is very interesting, and you learn about it gradually as Chise does. A lot of character designs are really nice, especially Elias. Their relationship, while a bit problematic, is explored in a way that perhaps highlights the problematic nature of it.
Throughout the show I really the world and fantastical elements, but was not engaged fully to need to watch further. They tackle a lot of temporary issues throughout the show, so you get some small stories. These all lead to character development though, so it's not that ...

As others have said, watch this at least after ep12 of the main show. This is a prequel story frime Chise's childhood. It starts out slow, but we get all the mystery and emotion from the main series here as well.
There's not much to say here. During the first episode I felt it was quite a bit too slow, and even during the second I was interested, but still waiting for something to happen. The last episode synched it though, and I get the climax I wanted for this kind of story. It's not required watching, but if you enjoy the main series I for sure ...

Man, I have no idea how to rate this. The show is your typical trash isekai with cartoonishly evil characters, a revenge plot, edgy protagonist, fanservice, etc. On top of that, it has heavy use of CGI which makes some scenes look like an only video game sometimes. By all intents and purposes I should have dropped it after an episode or 2.
But I kept watching, and didn't want to stop. I'm not sure if I was just starved for some power fantasy story, but it hit all the right notes. I mean, I really didn't like any part with the classmates. They had no ...

For sure more consistent than the previous seasons. I got a little worried when it seemed like they would just have random episodes that don't move the plot forward, but they get into a good amount of plot this season. The downside is it doesn't really have the highs of the previous seasons.
The animation is still not great, but nothing as bad as season 2. It's got charm, and it does it's job. You still get lots of time with likeable characters. The main thing I dislike in this season is the fights. There's more of them, which isn't bad, but a lot of them, ...

It has a rougher start than season 1, but gets to the better episodes a lot sooner. If you enjoyed season 1 then it's more of the same, which is a good thing.
The new characters and backstory are good. The only downside is that animation seems to have gotten even worse, especially at the beginning. Like it's a slideshow at times, which I understand they probably did the best with what they had, but it's noticable. It was a bit funny when they had one battle be super low budget since it was through the eyes of someone hallucinating, but that got a bit of ...

As others have stated, watch season 1 of Scissor Seven before this prequal OVA. This is just some backstory on two characters that won't mean much if you watch it first.
In terms of comparing it to the first season, it's not got much. It's nice to have a bit more backstory on some characters, but it was kinda implied a bit during the series and doesn't add much in my opinion in comparison to keeping it subtle. Also, some of it feels like it wasn't intended at the beginning, and they added some lore in later. It's fine enough, I would say probably watch it before ...

I wasn't sure what to expect when coming into this show. It's got a very unique art style, and kinda reminds me of a saturday morning cartoon. After the first episode, I was entertained enough to keep going and see what the show had in store. It's a bit of a slow burn, despite being 15 min episodes, but the payoff ws worth it.
The show revolves around Seven taking on different hitman jobs, and we get to learn about a lot of the inhabitants of the island. They've all got quirky and unique personalities, but they feel realistic, despite the absurdity. This show has a ...

Despite this show's greatest efforts is to be as generic and uninteresting as possible, I was still able to get a bit of enjoyment out of it. The anime follows the protagonist Rick who is trying to become an adventurer in his early thirties. People tell him he's too old, but he doesn't give up.
As someone also in their early thirties, the theme resonated with me. Often I can feel that I missed out on a lot of things when I was younger, but that's the wrong mindset. It's never too late to start out something new, and improve yourself. Despite the personal theme, the ...

I went into this anime completely blind, and didn't really know what to expect. I haven't watched too many shoujo anime, and from the tags this looks like this isn't even categorized as a shoujo. Well either way, the series is a bit of a parody of lots of shoujo romance tropes, and it does a good job.
The main character Anzu isn't interested in romance at all, and just want to play games, eat chocolate, and play with her cat. For some reason a wizard comes in, and takes that all away while forcing her to get into romantic situations. She's against it, and fights ... |
