"You can cross it"
Irodoku is a very good show followed by possibly a beautiful, conclusive, thematic masterpiece of an ending
Storywise, a cool premise. Time travel never goes well but this show used it as a plot device very well. It made the bittersweet finale pack the punch it did seeing everyone (mostly) in the future
Its Pa works, I expect greatness. The color palletes in particular are just excellent. The fish scenes which I assume to be a staple of the studio carry a large ... emotional weight
The osts were alright, not too special. However, the ed and opening fit the tone very well. Im a massive sucker for when the show plays the second half of the opening in particular, so when that played;
A virbrant cast of characters; all recieving at least one episode to shine. The side characters are decent, Kohaku brought lots of energy to stagnant moments. The characters that shined the most were Hitomi and Yuito. The parralels drawn between them, compounding in a final confession where they finally resolved their feelings and "crossed"; truly a pa speciality
I enjoyed this alot, but the ending is what got me. Hitomi's return being met with a final collage detailing her journey while also answering many questions the show raised is so poetic I can't even explain it without context
Please watch this show, its criminally underrated, a fun, climatic, emotional ride this takes you. I would even say its colorful in all aspects

Not often can a spinoff (I hesitate to even call it that) match but even surpass the source material. This manga added emotional depth to the two main leads not present in the original series well also adding context to said original series. My personal favorite is Utaha alluding to why she gave up on Aki in the main timeline.

The story isn’t really a factor as this is even more character based than its predecessor, any drama is all personal relationships.
The art is decent when it needs to be and I like the little illustrations at the end of the chapters.

Last, the ... characters. The small cast allowed for lots of character exploration and growth. Mayu was the Eri replacement; yet was able to carve out a unique role of unconditional support to the protagonists. And speaking of them, wow. Aki managed to recreate his original growth well adding on finding direction and taking control of his own life. As for Utaha? She did the same, yet we learn of her inner struggle to love, that conflict that drives her away from it.

This is a spinoff, an alternative route, yet even by the very own characters admission “But i’ll make a story that forces people to recognize both as the happy endings” this series can stand on its own just fine

Good movie, but its a tad underwhelming. This movie has a decent bit of hype around it, and does it deserve that? Yeah I would reluctantly say so. The highs rival peak shounen, but along the way are little moments that stop this movie from being truly transendental

First the story, and there is a lot to unpack. A lot of the plty revolves around the concept of accepting your past, which was executed... ehhh. Tanjiro’s was most in depth and was pretty touching, but would be a lot more if this wasn’t already explored in season 1. Regardless it was executed pretty well, although ... definitely it took up valuable screentime. Rengoku’s past was handled a lot more poorly, it seemed way too vague and was never fully explored. These flashbacks were probably supposed to make you feel for him in the finale, but with the infrequency of them they didnt make much of a difference. Last to discuss is the finale, which felt shoehorned in. A random antagonist is pushed into the limelight with no buildup, and has an epic finale with one of the protagonists. This was an amazing sequence, but felt way too forced. It did not fit thematically, nor was it led up to in any way. Highs were high, but a couple fairly big issues were very much present

This is a bit of a sore subject, but ufotable fumbled the bag a bit in terms of art. Cgi was very prevalent, and it at points ruined the immersion of the movie and distracted from the plot at hand. The cgi was used to animate tentacles that look like they came straight out of teenage mutant ninja turtles. The artstyle for these was crude and rough, completely going against the soft palate of the rest of the drawings. It was confusing seeing both of these in frame at the same rime. The rest of the movie is up to ufotable standard, and its a shame this massive error was present

The sound as expected of demon slayer was amazing, osts and everything

The characters are alright, but they dont stand out too much. Tanjiro was the best by far, being simple but well done. Inosuke was fun when he was on screen. Zenitsu was eh, didnt really contribute much to the plot, the antagonists are linear and just power hungry so not much there. Last and most controversial Rengoku. He is way overhyped and doesnt deserve nearly the popularity he has. All he did was die, thats it. He had a sob story for like 5 minutes, fought decently for like 3, and went out with a cool fight and now everyone is saying he was a master class in writing. This is a classic example of dead rapper syndrome

I may have been harsh, but I truly can say I did have a positive enjoyment of this film. The highs kept me anticipated regardless of the many woes, and I dont fault anyone for enjoying it

Humans are a canvas, painted by the colors, people around us, and Non Non Biyori conveys this message very well. This season was focused a decent bit more on individual groups of characters instead of the group dynamic of season 1 and 2. This would normally be very frustrating, but it worked out pretty well. Natsumi and Hikage have such a great dynamic, as well as candy store and Renge are two highlights, but there are many more

Now as per the story, this season is the peak for sure. The backstories were told in a way that gave a lot more depth to the series ... as a whole. Some themes of growing up are incorporated too very subtle but nonetheless well handled. The main moral of being colored by the people around you is present more then ever

Artwise simple but decent, use of still frames is usually good but when it misses it really misses. Not much more to say

Sound is like the rest of the series fantastic, it makes you feel very immersed in the environment, and I give it the highest praise for that

Characters are oh so close to being perfect. This time around 2 new characters are introduced. One Akane, a high school student who goes to Konomi’s school, and another one named Shiori who is around Renges age. Shiori is perfect, someone who can relate to Renge, gives her a sense of responsibility, and is just plain bliss. Then Akane who is to say the least, pretty flawed for the fact that she serves little to no purpose. She is a carbon copy of Hotaru from s1, nervous adapting to change you get the drift. She serves as someone Konomi can talk to, and helps build her character. Only problem is, HOTARU IS RIGHT THERE THEY LITERALLY WERE DOING THIS BEFORE DROPPING OFF AND INTRODUCING A NEW CHARACTER. Akane is the definition of expendable, and it hurts that she took screen time from Hotaru who was great in the time she had. The rest of the cast is spot on, Renge, Hikage, Natsumi, and candy story all shone more this season while nobody else disappointed either

I would give this a 9.5 for enjoyment, Akane made some points annoying but not enough to dock a point. This series is close to my heart, words can not convey how much, and this season shines oh so bright

I didn't think I would enjoy it so much. Todays Menu for the Emiya Family is exactly the opposite tone of the main timeline series, and yet captures a unique element that those don't elaborate on, and that is relationships. During each of these short episodes, we see different characters showing aspects of their bonds that add to the depth of their character as a whole. Some of these include the wife and husband duo of Caster and Kuzuki, the backstory of Taiga and Shirou's bond, and a glimpse at what Sakura and Rin had before the former's tragic fate.

The art of the show ... is low budget of course, but has a certain charm to it. The music was stellar, and was pretty soothing. Really the only complaint I have was the music choice not fitting the show at some points.

Overall, an amazing show that all fate/type moon fans should definitely watch.

An outstanding final chapter to an extraordinary series. Yuigahama's arc in particular was a highlight. The story shifts more to a romantic focus, and it lands almost perfectly. I generally disliked the idea of romance for this type of series, but the way the character's relationship's grew was fantastic. Hikigaya Hachiman's character growth is amazing to see, and his dialogue with the rest of the cast is possibly at it's peak this season. The tie ins to the past seasons add depth to the show, and the character arcs are wrapped up in a cohesive manner. I do have some minor criticisms. There was a ... four episode stretch where Yukinoshita wasn't really as present, and while I do like what they did showing the distance between them, a bit more dialogue from her perspective would have been nice. Also, the art wasn't as good as season 2, there were a couple of frames that really threw me off. Besides those two things, this was an amazing watch, and I am looking forward to the reported afterstory.
