I will start with the community reaction to this anime. Most people called it lolicon anime and hated it from the very beginning. In my opinion this anime is a literal gem compared to tons of cheap isekai animes of this season. It's also one of the most heartwarming animes I have seen in a while. Alongside with clannad this anime makes me wanna have a daughter UwU

Story (9/10): The story is located in a cliché world where there are adventurers, guilds, magic, demons and stuff. But what I certainly enjoyed is that there are no overpowered magic user that oneshots ... anything. There is a life out of magic and combat, there are normal kids going to school and stuff. What Im trying to say is this anime is unlike the other animes int this world setting. The animes with this world setting normally has OP magicians, everyone's families are dead or they have some sort of background like that, everyone except the the protagonist's friends are a villiain etc.
To abridge, this anime shows us this boring bs world setting can be enjoyable.

Art (7/10)
The characters weren't so bad close up but when viewing characters from different aspects or showing them form a distance they looked somewhat weird. Same goes with the action scenes, although it's not all that bad the frames were minimal in some scenes. The eyes were unique (especially Latina's) and I liked them. Character art aside I really enjoyed the BG art. The landscapes or the towns they visited, they were beautiful.

Sound (9/10)
I don't have much to say here. I both liked the opening and the ending Latina singing the opening and Dale singing the ending was pretty cute and good. The opening reflected Latina's happines while exploring the new warm world she has come to well. The OST's were mostly good.

Character (8/10)
I want to start with Dale. Dale is one of the best/strongest adventurers in his town and is pretty busy. Normally, the characters like this are edgy af cool af bois who oneshot everything whenever their theme is played. All they do is slaughter monsters, they dont have much of a life except combat and that's pretty much all they do. Unlike them Dale is a good adventurer in human standarts. He is clever, he is strong knows magic and has a good equipment on. He is not edgy and he is not a god who oneshots everything. Instead he is a normal human who has an ordinary life and ordinary emotions. He doesn't has unlimited power, money or stuff. He lives at the attic of an inn. He pays his rent and has a compassionate heart. He is even clingy to a little girl despite being strong. I loved how the anime showed us that the cool af oneshotter MC's are human too.

Latina is the only one with a tragic background. Dale finds him in the forest all by herself and later learns that her parents are dead. Latina, after losing her all she's got clings to the man who showed him kindness and took him to home after all the hardships she's been through. As the anime progresses Latina learns Japanese and other human world stuff. It's certainly adorable to watch her learn and start interacting with other humans after getting used to Dale going to quests and stuff.

The background characters didn't feature anything special. Latina's friends and The couple who runs the inn (Kenneth and Rita) supports Latina no matter what happens and watching that warms up your heart.

My Personal Enjoyment (10/10)
It was a pleasure to watch A little kid who's lost everything gets a helping hand from another race and grows up in that race. Starting Latina's first moments where she was literally glued to Dale to where she was going to school or shopping even to a friend's house. It was an adventure of a little girl and watching her grow up made me all fuzzy and happy.

Story
The story didn't include anything special. Just like Blend S it's just about some high schoolers working part time at a family restaurant. But the characters carry the plot to higher levels thus, making the plot interesting and making you have fun.

Art
I don't know much about criticizing an animes art but I still did notice the CGI usage was pretty minimum and well used. And the exaggerated chibi-ish reactions they give reflects their emotions and helps you to get them better just like the ones in K-on!

Music/Sound
Both the opening and the ending reflected the anime very well and the music was great. The opening reflects ... the emotions of Takanashi when he first jıins the restaurant. He is pretty happy and energetic thinking he finally found a place to belong and money to earn. And at the ending it's like Takanashi's inner voice screaming ''I WAS WROOOONG!''

Characters
In my opinion the characters carry the anime and make it interesting. Unlike the moe animes I have seen so far there was unusual character types like someone with a fear of men or somone with an age complex. I also enjoyed the characters love life. Like Satou likes a girl but guess what? She is a lesbian! That is truly not your avarage anime romance. The İnami Takumi ship was pretty heartwarming and thrilling at the same time. Takumi's household was also pretty interesting especially her novelist sister İzumi took my interest even though she has a pretty short screentime.

THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
I just finished Tokyo Ravens and the finale was pretty thriling. The whole series was actually a bit boring except some scene. I was starting to think it's a bad anime but the final proved me wrong.
Story:(10/10): I really liked how the creator created a new world there. It full of creativity. All of those spells, familiar and so. Natsume vs Yakou Devotees wasn't an interesting story but The Final Arc made it a really good story. The whole thing about Raven Coat andd Othomo Jin's true identity excited me so much!

Art:(8/10): I really didn't like the drawings at some times. ... The boys chins were too long and there was bad CGI usage like Doman's car was flying BUT after the battle of Doman and Othomo Jin I changed my mind about y drawing. The spells look honestly so cool.

Sound:(7/10): None of the endings or openings caught me but the ost was pretty good especially those whistle songs really givess you the anime's aura.

Character:(7/10): Harutora, Kyouko, Natsume, Hokuto etc. are pretty cliche characters while Touji, Kon and Othomo was pretty interesting to watch. But I really liked how the anime tranformed those cliche characer into pretty interesting ones using feeling and emotions. And the whole design of all Familiar was amazing too.

Overall:(9/10): THATS ONE THRILLING ENDING YOU GOT THERE

I just finished Durarara!! so wanted to write a review about it.

Story:(10/10)
The story doesn't show itself at the start of the anime. You are like so there is a city with gang so?? But when the story blooms (After episode 10) it becomes totally amazing! Lots of plot twists and secrets of the characters. One of the most exciting stories I could have asked for.

Art:(10/10)
Couldn't find anything to type here...
Its just great ^-^.

Sound:(9/10)
I really enjoyed the OST I just felt like that soundtrack fit every situation perfectly. Both openings are also amazing. I didn't enjoy the endings as much as I enjoyed the openings but ... they perfectly fit the animes nature.

Character:(10/10)
I think this is the most amazing part about this anime. There is looots of characters and they never disappear. The producer uses his characters like an expert puppetmaster and Im really amazed by that. The first 10 episodes of this anime is mostly about introducing the characters to the viewer and after episode 10 the real show starts with all the characters affecting each other somehow!

My Personal Enjoyment:(10/10)
Totally amazing! Lots of great characters, nice music and exciting plot twists.

Overall(10/10)

I only watched this anime because of communism memes... So I didn't had any expectations. When I first started watching the anime I was like tf is this cute anime girls driving CG tanks. But as the story progressed I started to feel really happy while watching it for some reasons. And I realized I didn't have that much fun for a looong time.
ABOUT STORY (8/10)
The story is pretty basic, tank driving is amazingly popular among schools and only girls do that, then they compete each other in tournaments etc. But there is so much soul in it and that makes you think yourself as ... one of the characters from the anime and eventually you enjoy it so much!
ABOUT ART (10/10)
The art style isn't like most of the modern animes so you may find it weird but IMO this style is the best for an anime like this. And about CG's they are really helpful to see the tanks/matches from different angles and that helps you understand better.
ABOUT SOUND(10/10)
It's just amazing lol.
ABOUT CHARACTERS(9/10)
Characters aren't really extra ordinary but the way they put them in the anime like they are actually real is amazing! Even though the anime is focused on tank matches they also show you everyday problems of the girls and that really helps you understand and empathize them.
ENJOYMENT(10/10)
It's been a long time since I was this excited and happy while watching an anime.
