When looking at the listings before the Spring season this year got underway, this entry likely went beneath the radar of many, especially with many powerhouses like Demon Slayer, MHA, Tensura, Mushoku Tensei, and the galactically-anticipated third season of Konosuba also on tap for the season. Seasonal watchers like myself who don't mind digging amongst the weeds find comfy homes with these types of titles, an original anime from a proven studio and staff with an intriguing VA listing that somehow received little to no hype coming in whatsoever, but I digress. The music genre has enjoyed a resurgence these past few years, and this ...

For many years, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood reigned at the top of this site's ratings. It garners a strong fan base, one so much so that it carries a very negative reputation amongst many spaces here on MAL. The manga is highly acclaimed, considered by many as one of the best in the medium, and the sales back it up. Though it was first adapted into an anime in the early 2000s, that anime finished while the manga was still ongoing, with an original ending separate from the manga, as the original creator herself requested at the time. This 2009 iteration tells a story that follows ...

The idea of a golf anime, for some, may be hard to comprehend. Golf is not the most riveting sport in the world (I actually quite enjoy it, and even I admit it is not the most exciting). That said, what better place is there than anime, where any and everything can be taken up to 11, to make such a non-riveting sport into a wacky, fun story all about it? Enter Birdie Wing.

As the synopsis suggests, the intertwining of the arcs of the two MCs, Aoi and Eve, is the focal point of this story. The contrast of their prefaces is hardly ...

There are many anime where the Eastern and Western perceptions are very mismatched. Sword Art Online (SAO) is one of the greatest examples of this. A stalwart, heavyweight franchise in the medium in Japan is seen by many in the West as the most controversial anime ever made, mainly due to its status as being one of the progenitors of modern power fantasy stories. In this review, I give my take as to that circumstance as well as my general opinions on the anime. The first season is the most popular point of the series, but is also the most controversial. So let's begin.

Of course, ...

Steins;Gate (Anime) add
Time travel has been a long-time staple in the genre of science fiction. In many of these stories, however, it is much more fiction than science. Steins;Gate (S;G) strives to be different. The creator of the original visual novel (VN) said that while writing the story, he maintained a vision of "99% science, 1% fantasy". This quote has very little basis literally, as there are still a lot of fictional concepts at work here, but the general mindset of respect to real science is noticeable. Real-life concepts of chaos theory, quantum mechanics, and time travel theory, such as Copenhagen and many-worlds interpretations, causality, time paradoxes, ...

Blue Lock (Anime) add
Many see Blue Lock as the next big dog of sports animanga. Though the golden age of the sports genre has come and gone, especially with Haikyuu end's in sight, this entry strives to keep the genre alive and assert itself as a top title in the genre.

The main gist here, to put it simply, is battle shonen soccer. Each character has different 'powers' that correlate to their main skill as a player. These powers can be simple traits, such as being abnormally fast or strong, or more specific to a particular style of play, like getting to a sweet spot for a long-range ...

Along with isekais, high school rom-com entries have been running rampant for many a past few years. With such high volumes of content in the genre, it takes a lot to really stand out. The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten is a best-seller LN series at the time of review, and this anime adaptation came out just in time to capitalize on hype and sales.

Here we have a story between the school's pretty, universally liked girl, Mahiru, and an awkward, average guy, Amane. Ah yes, a romance trope as old as time itself. As per the description in the synopsis, the reason for their ...
