My overall enjoyment of M!IK is rather mixed in-between. First round were typical school life with your "demon" friends, then the next would bounce onto unnecessary forceful attempts of a busty student council president to romance our innocent lead who only wants friends.
Can't believe I'm saying this but if they only made Ameri as a love interest, ๐บ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐๐น๐ฎ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐๐๐.
Aside from my outmost ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐น of a girlboss queen, the rest of the cast were good. Most of them were one-sided, but it makes sense for a comedy and they were far more entertaining, especially ๐๐๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ, ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ, ๐ฆ๐๐น๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ป,

Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu 2
(Anime)
add
For the first 3 episodes, Kyuushi/TVDINT season 2 was rather partially mixed between its iconic and notoriously low-graded highlights.
Everyone from the Office Trio to the rest of recurring characters were always stellar thus far, intruiging lore has evolved, and their usual antics in Shin-Yokohama welcome old viewers who tuned in to the first season in open arms. Though sticking to the status quo could get a bit stale. A fresh face could make it more better, right? When it comes to the newcomers, they can be ranged from good to flat-out unspeakable. We have great additions like Mikazuki being the butt of the joke ...

Akiba Meido Sensou

An anime about maid mafias was cool at first, but soon it turns into a needless kill count machine for cheap shock value.
Nitpicks I have: - Lack of given character development within the Oinky Doink Cafe gang aside from Nagomi and Ranko. - Others rival maids who torture the main cast should get the obituary end and not ignoring them. - Awful death of Ranko, Suehiro, and the Ramen Chef - Badly made conclusion between the maid feuds. - Nerula's death as an attempt for us to feel sad for her. - Pacing went south when they skip giving the opportunity to witness Ranko and Nagi/Uzuko fist fighting in the ...

Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu
(Anime)
add
Every fictional vampires existed from an infamous erotic novel, an edgy shoujo series with a tiresomely melodramatic love triangle, or an anime where a vampire doctor was actually a sexual predator are lame. Tiring, right?
But a fragile yet immortal vampire addicted to bad games and is a housekeeper resides with a hot-blooded, workaholic vampire hunter who is emotionally sensitive as a roommate of his; including a lovable armadillo carrying the show in a positive light? WELL COUNT ME IN! You may end up feeling iffy about the constant sexual innuendos, the bickering married couple dynamic between Draluc & Ronaldo, over the top gags, and continuous "death" ...

From an adult viewpoint, Acro Trip gives an impression of trying way too hard on making you laugh out of inoffensive non-existence; lacking any kind of effort. Synopsis-wise, it can come off as derivative where the starring villains got down-ranked and must climb back up the stairs at the top to be regain their superiority, while facing irrelevant, random SOL you may have seen from hundred thousands of published mangas.
Sizable cast were forgettable and one-dimensional. The leading bad guy; despite having mild, goofy moments is downright pathetic; as in wanting to end himself so badly; while the middle school student protagonist is just obsessing over ...

Ao no Orchestra
(Manga)
add
Since there will be an anime adaptation on next year's Spring, which I won't bother to watch anyway, here are some nitpicks I want to point out:
- Main character Hajime Aono's design was too PAINFULLY similar to the beloved Persona 3 protagonist to the point he was more of weaker, one-note clone of the original. Even his ambitions and life were quite one-note as well. (I wouldn't be surprised the Persona fandom will blatantly point it out of spite.) - Soon as she appears, I already HATED her. Ritsuko Akine comes out as an obnoxious, abrasive female lead, with the first impression to Hajime at their ...

Lycoris Recoil
(Anime)
add
Would have expect it to be appalling than a good show. Ever since the latest dark comedy about maid mafias going against each other is out this Fall, I decided to check out Lycoris Recoil and boy...I have bigger issues with this.
Range of characters were fine and likable except for the main antagonist Majima. (Sorry but he would have been dead with the main duo during the supposed collapse of another tower.) Pacing is fine from beginning to episode 11, until 12 and 13 jumps too much platforms from finishing off the bad guy easily, escorting the remaining Lycoris from the debris and from its counterpart ...

Wouldn't recommend it for those who want to get the same extravagant essence PA Works and Avex pulled off, unless if you want to find out the rest of narrative went after the 109 arc. As for why the manga is inferior in my case, there are numerous reasons I want to jot down:
โข Non-existent or lack of raw, emotional character growth with the rest of the characters that made them human-like. โข Failed on showcasing genuine camaraderie of the group within the BB Lounge โข Additional characters debuted in every arc were either functioned as plot devices, bystanders, or existed for the sake of inserting questionable ...

Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de
(Anime)
add
Surely it may seem to be a unique take on romcoms where heroes and supervillains get into a "forbidden love", Love After World Domination is nothing but saccharine barf once you get a taste of getting cooties from naughty girls back at elementary school. (Also known as cringe) Overall the context of the show has "been there, done that" in every existing medium if you take off the Tokusatsu parody elements. No offense but it's baffling to me and more power to you if anyone out there found this anime entertaining. Now if you excuse me, I better get myself a barf bag...
