I really don't feel like this one deserves much effort so i will keep it short... Or i should say i will put the same level of effort the 5th season did.
I still remember how amazed i was by this show when i watched new show Boku no Hero. And with each next season i felt same emotions following Deku becoming stronger. With few key moments that make me uneasy in my seat from excitment, sometimes even making me cry. Remembering all the lines i still from time to time rewatch some specific scenes.
There were few down moments, especially one creative decision in 4th season
...
is something i really dislike, but overalll this show was amazing ride until this season.
Saying it was a downgrade is understatement. First part already felt a bit like an downgreat compared to previous season but it alone thank to one character coming back and their interaction would still would be great, but then we got to second part of the season which gave me PTSD attack affter second season of different, very infamous, anime that came back few years ago.
To describe it without spoiling too much, anime about Deku journey about how he became hero, following how from zero, he slowly trains to become someone who aspires to be, after many seasons of that, we have an arc of 'bad guys' coming back to fight with other (new randomly showed up whole army of) bad guys in pool of plot holes to just the main bad guys become super strong because reasons IN SPAN OF FEW EPISODES and of course whole army just joined the main group. Too bad all heroes were called up outside city and noone though it's weird or you know.... asked for at least support to not to leave city alone.... i guess i'm complicating stuff for no reason
Finally finished the whole season up until last episode after 2 years just to get with other seasons as my friend was really pushing the idea that next season(s) are better. I do hope and perhaps i will still experience some of those stunning moments but the hype for this show is gone and i really don't think it's coming back no matter what they will do

I have really mixed feelings about this one as i am not really sure for who this anime is aimed for.
As fellow veteran Arknights player even for my optimistic scoring, the high mark mainly comes from being able to finally see my favourite characters on screen, talking, interacting and stuff...
But to be honest i almost feel disappointed. Probably partly it comes from obvious hype over Arknights finally getting so longed teased anime, knowing well what Hypergryph (company behind the game) is able to achive (especially in music industry). Buut no matter how much i was happy to see anything from Arknights and them, i kind
...
of feel it was quite lower of what anyone would expect as although artstyle itself is very good, characters do look sometimes weirdly smooth and... a little off to anyone who saw them hundreds of times in game, especially during some scenes... but as much as fast i got use to it, it didn't change the fact they clearly have a problem with animations, especially special effects like arts because some scenes despite the good art, fighting looks really cheap.
And back to the main problem. We can split people who will/might watch it into 2 groups: those who already played Arknights, and those who didn't.
I am having hard time believing that this anime will make anyone want to try out the game more and actually on the contrary, it might discourage some as above problems i mentioned, for those who are new to the Arknights universum, anime really does not explain much about anything or even who is who and what we got are 8 episodes of cut outs of actual main story of the game. As just another anime title for those people, most likely it will be far from being their favourite title so i have to reconsider if i recommend this to any of my non-Arknights friends.
And for those who do play Arknights, i feel like hype and being exrtremly happy to see characters on screen like Nearl or W or Ace... is the main drive for watching this, because when i make a break and think abouit what i am watching, i do not feel the same level of entertainment as of even in case of some random 12 episode titles we get every season.
8 might be even too much in eyes of some very objective people and i must say i won't be recommending to everyone, but am i happy this anime was created? Yes!
Was it fun? Yes~
Could they do better?
Sadly have to give third Yes

I will clear one thing. I am not fan of reviews saying 'watch it till episode 100' or 'i know it's not good, but it gets better after 10 episodes', but that applies to animes that are clearly bad and whole premise of sticking to it is about watching some cool one episode long scene or some random plot. Is this the case with Yuusha, Yamemasu? It is clearly not one of them.
Enough with that.
Yuusha, Yamemasu.
I will be another review that will tell you THIS IS partly an Isekai, but you SHOULD give it a chance. Personaly i don't really think even first episodes were
...
bad, and i can't quite understand why people would stop after 3rd episode to just write a bad review and move one. We meet our MC, he joins bad guys, and as first action he has to help the generals, natural progression you could think, but i guess not enough for some people~ (Especially we do not have to wait long for first 'plot twist' and see how well... established? our MC is).
It doesn't take long until anime shows that every single information drop we had, scene, everything that drove us until last episodes, had a meaning, meaning and plot behind it.
But that's not the sole reason why you should be watching this. This anime does something rare even outside Isekai genre: it makes you think and is not pushy about it. There is a moment when whole show goes into way different direction, includes heavy subjects and what's most importantly, does great transition towards it. The train of thoughts is real and also having a chance to see stuff happen from opposite side is refreshing (maybe not original, but still refreshing (and to be honest what is original these days~).
This is not perfect anime, it is not close to it as it contains flaws on various steps either with not amazing art style, or some story moments. (Music is actually quite good! Especially second ending. Sound scene overall, even voice acting felt quite high level). But when i score an anime, i put it first trough most important questions to give it a 10: Did i enjoy it? Did i have a good time with it and time has quickly passed? Did it have any minor issues i didn't like and it destroyed the full experience for me?
And i can with full honesty give it that 10.
It may not be perfect, but surely i enjoyed it, heck i even cried. This experience worked with me. It deserves my 10.
Especially if you watched all your favourite shows, give it a try, it is a lesser gem of the season. It may not be a 10 from you, but as long as you are open to Isekai genre/like it, it will be easly time well spent for you too!

Best parents confirmed?
But for real. I doubt many people will see reviews like this as it will disappear among all others, but please DO NOT be influenced by 'top' reviews. People (hard trying critiques) who wrote them should be ashamed as most people will most likely see only theirs.
How they are saying, it's next isekai anime, but i feel like most of them didn't even bother with watching it, instead they have their mind setted right after reading tags.
Of course to be fair it is not next one of "top of the season" category and i doubt in few years anyone will still remember it.
...
It's not the masterpiece japanese gods bless us rarely.....
BUT it's good and there is nothing more to add. Simple as that.
I do too feel like at this point i watched hundreds of isekai animes, especially with protagonist being famous Mao or with him being the main villian. And without a question of the first kind.... but even if so, i honestly give it a 10. Why? Becauase it had no big flaws. Was enjoying and make me binge-watch it even if it was getting late when i started it. Really good art and animations, it gave quite us quite deeper plot (also good and quite uique for this quanity of isekai animes we have). Characters were also really likeable and even music was pretty good (with few (original? probably yes, but didn't confirm it) songs insterted into story).
I know i'm quite optimistic after these years when it's about scoring titles. But if anime was really enjoyable, didn't it succeded in it's task? Unless anime didn't lack on art, maybe had some really annoying character or something else, in my eyes it deserves to get that 10. I understand we need also people with more "crude" system so Kimi No Na Wa wouldn't be next to some 3rd grade isekai anime, but still... at this moment scores on first visible reviews are 3, 3, 3, 2... For real? This anime really does deserves higher one. If you are, especially, an isekai veteran, you will enjoy it :)
(Still i'm glad main score is quite high at the moment 7.42 and #1838 place in ranking so it says something. Well i'm aware mostly try hards (like me :P) most often go to reviews section~)

DO NOT READ IF
I have 2 main problems with the anime which are explained below and are connected to the story so to avoid spoilers, don't read it
Even if i'm really into such animes, I needed 2nd approach to watch Inari Kon Kon, but to be honest i'm not sure myself from where it comes.
Honestly beginning of the anime is quite good. Maybe only most inpatient people might have to wait until like 2nd episode to start enjoying its story...which isn't bad, but i have some issues with it.
First of all whole story idea is based on one fact that doesnt make any sense based
...
on how story went (if there was some magic reason for that, explained in manga, i'm not aware of it as i watched only anime). Main problem of main character Inari, starts becuase of the devine power she got from Uka, by using it with time, with stronger emotions it seems, even if she only got small part of it, it made rest of Uka's power turn back from her and go to Inari which would make Uka disappear as we learn in the end. The problem i have with this anime, is that somewhere in the middle, Uka explains that Inari saw her because of the miracle she have her which was given to her after she met her.... she also explain at the start of the anime that because how much she loved this shrine (and don't you even dare to call it temple :P, especially beatiful shrines like Inari) he was able to see fox that needed help and her. Which is already a paradox but also it still doesn't explain why her brother, Touka, was able to see her too.... (which didn't change at the end too as we can see him looking at her).
As i never care about small things, this was quite big fail for me as whole story was based on it. Uka needed to get her power back, but also she didn't want Inori to stop seeing her which started wave of anxiety. How i said, this was quite big and it kept bugging me trough whole anime every time Inari used her power and Uka was getting weak and everything which destroy the experience for me a lot.
Sencond thing i didn't like the anime, was the story itself. How i said, i don't know how anime managed it, but even if Inari is titled character... i feel like she got too much screen time - it can happen i guess. This one especially hits me as i'm quite deep in the culture, mythology and i find some of it really beautiful and i really thought this anime had potential. Saddly it wasted it. There was for sure too much of a school life problems we see in every alike anime from which most were reasons for Inari's problems. In exchange we get so little about Uka who might not be in title but still is on the cover... and to be honest i find her so much more interesting and appealing (aren't we all have own tastes? :P ). I'm more than disappointed because of how little Touka (brother) got sceen time, how in the middle started getting his own story with Uka, we got even retrospection of them and 'big' fight because of which she ended going to annual meeting at Izumo (Gods meeting, really amazing place). Yet last episodes there was nothing about him and he was completly leaved out of the ending - that was the biggest flaw that made me less enjoy this.
About music and artstyle there is really nothing to complain about
In the end i'm a little disappoited with this anime. Maybe it was only me but i was really hoping to see more of Touka and for sure more of Uka.
Especially if you check my markings on my list you will see i'm not playing some 'true critique' like some people do. I have simple rule, if something was fun to watch, there was no real flaws to complain about, was truly enjoyable - simple as that - i give it a 10 as it did a job for me
But in case of Inari, KonKon saddly i don't think i'll able to do it this time.
I think i still would recommend it to veterans as in the end it's for sure not next generic anime you can find out there, but there are many better shows, with satisfying and enjoyable story

Wow...
This season suprised me with few shows at first i wasn't really eager to watch but still from short note, first scores and poster i thought i'll give it a try... and Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo is definitely one of them.
青春 (Seishun) is a really interesting word, specific for japanese language. For lot of you, young fellow fans, still not knowing what does it mean... it's quite hard to explain as it's always heavly discussed matter, but going for a simpliest one - it means all our emotions, our important stresses we feel as teenegers (mostly about junior high school and little after it)
...
which after few years, when we get older and wiser (at least i want to belive we do!), they seems funny and derisory to us.
Love or i should say being attracted to someone/"having crush" plays a big part of it.
This won't be a long review but i would like you not to look on (right now) top review from like always self-called anime critique. Especially School Life tag is heavly used in all kinds of anime projects but finding good one might be actually quite hard, yet this anime is a proof that even if talking about such trifled things, even if we forgot those emotions, it makes us remember and simply care.
I do belive that if only you realize this is school-life anime, talking about falling in love, being insecure because of various things, if you don't mind it and you will give it a try, you won't regret it and you are going to have a good time... especially that this anime saddly or not is quite short.
You might guess it or not, i am not hardcore critique but i can appreciate good anime/work, especially with my experience. With my special kind rating i'm honsetly give it a 10.
Some of you may ask Why?
It was a short one, yet i simply enjoyed, didn't have even one moment that would seem like bad cliché moments i saw in 200 other school life making me annoying, or getting me bored, from first episode to the last, this anime made me laught, made me interested at first in their daily routine, then in their problems and especially at the end it kinda grabbed my heart. With nice music (+ for opening song, really nice), good characters and art. There was no aspect that felt cheap. Of course if you are starting to compare some top notch all-time popular shows it would be different but how i said, you need to thing about your rating system. After that 12 episodes i'm really happy i watched it thus giving it honest 10 :)

Because i only write review when something really hits me in anime differently from others, bad or good thing, i didn't write many, but this was one of those few cases..... but i really don't feel that there is a lot to explain so it will be a short one.
(free of spoilers)
At this point i watched many titles and my bar of quality is much lower to start an anime. As i enjoy also mix up of genre as "Ore ga Suki nano ha Imouto.." served us, i gave it a try... should you? if you watched few hundreds of titles, you can give it
...
a try but it might not be worth it, even if your bar is lower too.
To be honest, i can't give it 1/10 like many people did. I'll say more, story isn't original at all (but what do you expect :V), art is on level of standard budget anime quality, but characters were likeable i guess and i actually did enjoy first episodes (+ the opening, quite catchy as while writing this review i still hear the sound of "chyu chyu i love you!!!").
The worse part
The problem are last 2 episodes. Not sure what happend but from meh enjoyable anime 7/10 (for me~) anime turned 180 degress and its story and art and i guess characters too so pretty much everything went to toilet.
Creators thought they will hit the story with whole different approach and different popular scheme in anime and even if until this point it could be enjoyable to some, that (failed) action destroyed it for sure for rest.
Art was damaged too because even if in most scenes, both 'original' siblings looked the same, other characters weren't that lucky and in some scenes they were drawn like if someone had 5min to finish it before release. Also i guess after knowing this ship sinks, they thought "the hell with it" and addeed nudity at he end just for sake of it i guess (?)
Characters....again if you liked them until that episode, everyone but one were trashed totally (one survived one more episode, but do not worry, she joined rest in last one!). One character got some love in last episodes and i found that actually pretty enjoyable, i even wouldn't mind if she would end up as a main girl for our protagonist with real sister as "rival", but we got low quality scene of how... something happend.... and she came back to being ONE OF or even worse which was forgotten in next episode....
To sum up:
With lowered bar of expectations, you could probably enjoy at least part of this anime, it really wasn't worst like many "critiques" giving it 1/10, but that changed soon before the ending. Not sure what happend, low budget started to end...? but that still doesn't explain sudden change in story...
It was ok, but because of the end, and i do not expect next season even if the ending might suggest that, (and with my positive rating) for that 'until some point' quite enjoyable thing, i give it solid 5/10

I'm really not sure what to think about this one. I'm not that hard of a critic, nor i'm not some specialist like some people seems to think about themselves when i try to read their reviews... but well... let's say i know my anime.
I'm not even used to writing any reviews, but lately i thought it could be a good idea to put sometimes thought into a full sentences.
So yea - Kaguya-sama. Never watched anything becuase it was popular, even in case of my first anime - death note, soon after it was released but only because my friend asked me to watch it.
...
Same thing in case of Kaguya-sama.
After watching many amazing shows we were bleesed with (and i won't name them not to angry people who thing otherwise), and many.... not so good (here as well) i'm kind of easy to satisfy (or i should say "harder to disappoint") and at the same time harder to find something unique in the title.
We can't say Kaguya-sama was a something super original. We can't say it had great story, character progression or anything... but after years i made especially one important rule for myself, if you check my, work-in-progress right now, animelist, you could easly see i'm really forgiving if it's about giving scores (could probably change some right now though), but #1 rule i have to give 10 is, if i simply enjoyed the title... i'm not going to play critique here, if i enojyed the anime, if even with smaller mistakes, worse drawings in some parts, in the end i enjoyed it, had fun, maybe cried, laught hard, it was a good time without some really annoying parts for what i could take some points from that 10... i don't really see a reason not to give it. Especially if you find even not that great, original of an anime, but it's a kind that before even realized, few hours have passed...i think it did it's job, don't you think?
I'm not talking about works of people like Makoto Shinkai because especially they should be really appreciated. But to be honest every owner of that "10" on the end should be.
But i really can't give Kaguya-sama a 10... Didn't think about it until actually 12th episode and one great scene i'm in love. It's tru because of work i had like 2-3 months of break from watching anime with breaks for new episode of Boku no Hero and Isekai Quartet and it might affected it but without spoiling it, one particular scene made me love the anime, and main characters more than Fujiwara or Hayasaka (By the way, someone hold her please :( ). At that point i realized, even if we agreed that anime has pretty much 0 story or any character developent at all, i really enjoyed the title, time with it passed for me preety fast and with some tears in my eyes (yeaaaa... i kind of succer for good anime romances.. :P) i waiting for one of them to say something....
and after sudden (like 1-2min) kick, all magic disappeared like if parents told me again that Santa doesnt exist... whole mirrage of their developemnt, mirrage of good ending i love so much, was exchanged for same scene we saw through whole anime with them not being able to be honest with each other - something that, like always, with some new gag, was pretty enjoyable (not like in case of some overrated anime.. *ekhm*Himouto! Umaru-chan*ekhm*... sorry i had to :( ). But that last time, it didn't work for me. It didn't work because after all of that, the anime showed me chance for lovely and beautiful ending and then it reseted itself to first episode with few minutes. Every emotions that were built in that one scene, were destroyed and we were leaved with that feeling to realize soon that we have to wait for next season to MAYBE see something different, something happening.
To sum it up, i really enojed this anime, the "last" scene made me really love it (like really, for a moment i felt like watching something on level of Koe no Katachi, it was simply made really well) and until that point i could easly give it a good old 10 without complaing about that missing... many thing. But even if i do realize it's going to be a second season, and i'll probably watch it some time, after that last few minutes i just can't give it that 10, and i'm actually not sure if i'm really waiting for continuation...
After thinking for a while, for now i'm giving it 8, but i'll leave it for a day and i might change it.
Thanks for reading and hope you share at least some of my thoughts!
Have a nice day (or night ;) )

I think it's second time i really had to write a review on MAL.
After watching 34 episodes now. I reaaally dont understand why there are any ratings/reviews with score more than 4/5 (there are many 10/10 actually... Wait, what?). It's not about if you like where the series went or no... This show is just bad. It's really hard to point any good sides of it.
When watching end of shippuden i felt like it was different from what Kishimoto had in plans for its end and 'Next Generations' wasn't in his mind for sure~
I really would like to know his honest opinion about this show.
For
...
me, nearly every episode of this show was on the level of average bad filler in last "two seasons" (i really don't want to call it a third one... but for sake of review i'll do it) because story and animations are rather on the same level... But even if so, the thing i hate the most in this franchise milking is its overflowing idiocy. "Nakama power", changing facts, really stupid "plot armor" things... few eg.:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LITTLE SPOILERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like Sarada few weeks after getting Sharingan, she was already able to use it like "Copying Ninja Kakashi" in his might.....
Or stuff like because of plot, suddenly Hogake (aka our strongest shinobi) can't do **** against 'powerful' monster, when his mighty son is able to easly fight him (oh, and that monster became their pet later) (and wasn't it because beast could absorb chakra? if so, anyone remember Boruto's movie? anyone?!).
Or again weak Naruto wasn't able in Tailed Beast Mode catch some small jumping weakling, he needed actually help from Sarada who saved the situation - PLOT.
Well, mainly whole thread about Shin was bad... (anyone thinks as me its amusing that Sakura is actually doing something aaand is stronger than Naruto now (when he and sasuke are quite useless)? someone after first 2 seasons had some complexes.....)
Boruto and Sarada being able to fight (without much training, time of peace, (they train on catching bears, not fighting other countries' shinobi...) still in school) against group of assasins (whole country's level, killing political enemies, planing to make a revolt~) with Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's swords who were actually able to fight against mizukage (i guess he was suddenly weak as Naruto.... those kages, right?)
and much more~
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! END OF SPOILERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand that making friened from litterally everyone was Naruto's thing. But somehow it doesnt do the trick here. Maybe it's from fact that, as someone said, he is most annoying character in the show, and with all other flaws. it's becoming next irritating thing. Next to flat characters, no story, many bad animations~
STORY 1/10
There is not too much to say here. After bad spoiler (copy of the one from start of shippuden, for me it was worst part of second season and they used it) which tries to bait us to watch next 600-700 episodes and spoiling something that probably doesn't contain any story behind it, just clear info with who boruto will fight, anime leaves us with mostly not-related episodes (the longest threads go for like few episodes), what with connection with flat characters makes it not worth watching. You really can leave those and still dont lose nearly anything from the story.
ART 3/10
Again i can't say anything good about this part too. Without few scenes from all episodes which had some deepth in it, animation is somewhere on level of fillers. Some episodes even reminds me those buddget animes with everytime same plot like "main hero gets to new school, see girl's underwear, she wants duel with him (she is also strongest in school), and then she realize he is actually stronger"ish. I'll even dare to say that even if old, i prefere art style from the first season.
SOUND 8/10
Probably the only one thing that's good in this show. Mainly, soundtrack isn't on high level and doesn't make you want to hear it again and again like it was in Naruto's case (eg. Emergence of Talents) (quickly becomes boring, not so emotional), but Openings and Endings are really fun and it's something i added to my mp3 list to listen to.
CHARACTERS 1/10
I think the same thing as MAL's rating system's comment behind number 1 - Pathetic.
How i said, all characters all just flat and even if building story by some events like that in first season worked, they forgot to add anything to their characteristics. It's just shapeless mass. Episodes just jump from random school or other events feeling us with forgetable things. Sarada is the only one person that still keeps me 'watching' this show.
ENJOYMENT 1/10
Enjo.... what? is it delicious? As i watched quite many animes already and up until now never dropped one, lately Boruto's episodes takes me around 5min to watch, because i'm skipping in moments when "too boring turn it off" feeling cames back. Really trying my best here :C
Overall 1/10
Because this is a lowest possible one.
I see what are they trying to do, without much idea for universum, just milking it. It's alike to the situation of Star Wars right now. Just throwing memories, characters very well known to watchers, just to keep them watching (without even trying because, fans will watch it anyway, right?), while making it 'kids friendly'/stupid/colorful (only light colors)/easy to watch (choose one) just to lure new fans, Which is probably the thing i hate the most.
I don't give this anime a chance for becoming better with time. Especially because while for now copying and using our memories of characters from first two seasons works. It just won't work forever. I bet soon there will be time when in Naruto, they used all gathered memories and hero's expierience for heroic moments. Boruto will have no ground to stand on.
As a fan, not from 2002, but as big as such, I'm really scared about what they are going to do with breaking the rules of universum. How Sarada will get the EMS (c'mon, it's sure thing, but impossible to achive by her now). And I'm sure for now they will continue to stuff that big filler under name: "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" with "our" characters. And i can asure you they will introduce us some new Uchiha (Dead clan, but not actually, too good stuff to not to use it) or coming back to other well known characters (don't even dare to use Jiraya, Itachi or Shizui D: ), and i can also asure you it won't be good too.
But it's going off the review so on the end, I'm going to say you should watch few episodes, and develop your own opinion, but know one thing: you won't be able to unsee it~
With a sadness and need to watch first Naruto again - StarAlone

I'm not used to write any reviews but after than one, something really broke me i had to do one.
It is a long time since i watched first season, but i do remember i really enjoyed while watching it. That's why i was really happy to start watching next one, but somewhere i feel like it went in a wrong way
ART: 9
If we were compering it to titles of eg. Makoto Shinkai like Kotonoha no Niwa or last big one like Kimi no Na wa, it wasn't special at all, but i think we can easly say comparing to modern animes, this anime sometimes had
...
really beautiful scenes
Sound: 7
7 - good, i think its perfect word, it wasnt enything amusing, but it wasnt bad at all, it was just... good
Character: 8
And here where the problem starts. We can clearly see the common types of character that usually are used in such genre and that's not a bad thing. I have to say that anime operate with those types really well. The problem is that i'm feeling like anime has a problem with their development. I feel like main hero's change at the end was too rushed, it's hard to say any difference in his character through whole anime and then on the end he has changed. About main 3 girls.... i feel like writer just changed his mind in the second half of second season. Because Utaha and Eriri as they were really interesting to that moment, later i felt like author just got rid of them and instead of them in the main plan came Megumi what was kind of shocking for me, because until then that character was kind of neutral for me (maybe its just me)
Story: 7
The hardest part for me. For sure anime tries to tell the story and move subjects which you won't see in many anime (i know maybe like 2 of them). It talks about eg. finding motivation, losing it, the reasons behind it or problems with starting as small team trying to make together something good, problems in team etc. At that part was really good..... BUT it was only 11 episodes and i feel like anime forgot about what genre is it. Especially about it's main one (even if i understand you can't blame it for not having something, it's just our way to classify it, but well... in this case it does includes it for sure) If you really hope for romance, dont watch it, because you will just get frustrated. Anime tried to build that thread but then it suddenly just dropped that for a sake of the subjects i was talking about. (not even saying that through whole anime, it had problem with it) (Well, it was maybe such problem for me because i love those kinds of anime, so i was really disappointed with it). And the last part - the ending..... right... the ending... the worst part. I'm probably the first person to hope for a good ending no matter where/what (like main character is), but even if anime has ended with
LITTLE SPOILER OF ENDING==================
'everyone being happy'... i can't just look how fake it was. Probably it should be done in more episodes, it would be hard to solve, and probably not everyone would be happy, but i think no matter how big chance it was for them, not only they should talk with him or i should say tell him (because i think he would still agreed for their sake), but even if we go with route when they didn't tell him and did exact same thing as he did for Magumi, i don't think he would be so happy without even drop of being angry or frustrated. The most shocking part was how he and Megumi were so woesome in the first moment, but especially she (the person who didn't speak to Tomoya after his work with first game) forgave them so easly that betrayal (because it was exactly it). And then there comes back the romance part, what the hell was that...?! + Megumin happend to be main girl?! i think she was the last one to be her~
I don't remember what relations he had with Iori so i can't judge about that part when he helped him. But mainly that ending for me was just fake, nothing less, noting more.
i really hope i won't see the scenario in the third season with his new team and then them, joing back to the studio after they will finish they work on that RPG game - as i love happy endings - for me that would be awful.
=========================
Overall: 8
Because it was really enjoyable one, all flaws hurted me even more and with my really positive rating 8 is max i can give it, because i do feel like this anime wasted the romance it tried to connect to main idea. And with bad ending, probaby it's still pretty good score.
