Kaguya-sama season 1 was already a good 9/10 for me, but season 2 is even better than that.
Story 9/10
The story of Kaguya-sama's second season is obviously a continuation of the first season, but after watching the first three episodes of the second season, the entire first season just feels like a introduction to the show. What i'm trying to say is that things really start to get going in this season. The main characters are getting a closer to each other little by little, few new characters get introduced and the side characters get some good development too. Kaguya-sama season 2 just took everything that
...
was already good about its first season, refined it and made one hell of a good show.
Art 8/10
There really isn't much to say about the artwork and animation of this show except for the lineart beeing clean, the colors beeing beautiful and the animation just beeing smooth as always.
Sound 8/10
The sound design in this show simply is good, nothing more, nothing less.
Something I noticed while watching Kaguya-sama is that the openings of both season are really great and tend to stay in your ear for a while. Both openings come with a great song and astonishingly beautiful visuals.
Character 10/10:
Every single character in Kaguya-sama serves a purpose, even the side characters. But these characters aren't just there for the plot, rather are they most of the times really loveable, wholesome and funny. The harmony between these characters constantly feel organic, nothing seems to be forced. I'd say that Kaguya-sama's chacarters are amongst the best designed ones that I've seen so far. The best part about Kaguya-sama is the relation between Kaguya and Shirogane, which deepens even more in this season. It is just pure joy to see these two getting closer and closer with every episode. All in all, Kaguya-sama never ceases to suprise with it's few but prestine characters.
Enjoyment 10/10:
I personally already really enjoyed the first season, but once I saw the first episode of the second season, I knew i was in love with this show. I really didn't notice how much I missed the show, until season two started airing. I just missed the lighthearted atmosphere, the most of the time funny jokes and the rivalry / romance between Kaguya and Shirogane. There was not a single moment in this season so far without me smiling or laughing. Overall, kaguya-sama is one heck of a fun ride to watch, but the second season is just a total blast while watching, definitely continue with the second season after completing the first one.
Overall 10/10:
I think Kaguya-sama has it all, great slice of life / romance story, good lineart and animation, decent sound design and great openings paired with a bunch of the most loveable characters out there. These points lead into an absolute blast while watching the show, I think everybody can and should watch Kaguya-sama Love Is War.

First of all, I'm a manga reader but I will still try my very best to not spoil anything and only focus on informations given by the Anime adaptaion. Obviously the review is gonna be influenced by my knowledge of what will happen in future episodes.
Story 9/10:
Well, there really isn't much to say about Kami no Tou's story except for it beeing simple but brilliant in many different ways. For example the worldbuilding is just amazing and quite unique, I really had a blast while watching the world unfold while they constantly feed you more and more informations, concerning the entire "Tower" thing and what
...
happens after you climb it to the top, but not to much at a time which lets you always understand what is happening and what kind of affects certain actions might have on the story.
Art 9/10:
I think that Kami no Tou's artstyle is the biggest downside to people that like the simple and standart anime style. But if you are someone like me that also likes different and unique looking artstyles you will really have a blast while watching Kami no Tou. In terms of animation, the staff behind Tower of God really out did themselves. Tower of God honestly has really great linework, beautiful colors and stunning animation that lets you really feel every fight scene. The linework in ToG is quite rough around the edges, but that's not because the artists can't draw them smoother but rather because the art team behind ToG wants to keep the art style used by ToG's mangaka.
Sound 10/10:
From opening to ending sequence, the sound effects and the music in ToG really leave you breathless at times. The story and art are already doing an amazing job at making you feel immersed into ToG, but what really let's you feel this show is the sheer awesome sound design. Every punch, cut or shot in ToG really gives you goosebumps and you can't help but to sing along to the opening and ending sequence. Even the background music, which in most anime stays unnoticed, really helps you feel the fight scenes more and makes non-battle moments really feel quiet and relaxing. Awesome sound design in my opinion.
Character 9/10:
I just love every single one of the main characters (except for Rachel). On the one hand you have Bam which is your typical shonen wimp to badass protagonist, but he just has something about him that makes you want him to achieve his goals. On the other hand you have Kuhn with his stylish briefcase and his iconic smile. Then you have Rak, a giant human/gator who is always trying to fight someone and has a passion for chocolate bars. Honestly all three of them are just a loveable bunch of polar opposite personalities thrown into one group trying to climb the tower. And even the side characters of ToG are most of the time interesting but sadly been disposed of shortly after introduction. The one thing that i don't like about the characters in ToG is that you can immediatly tell who's a disposable character and who is not.
Enjoyment 9/10:
Like I said earlier, I have an absolute blast watching ToG and I honestly think that anyone who gives this anime a chance will also find themselves enjoying it. My only downside is the pacing of ToG, because in my opinion the story feels just a little bit too rushed. But all in all a very enjoyable show.
Overall 9/10
Without the very minor issues mentioned earlier i'd give ToG a total 10/10. The only thing missing to make my life perfect now is a Solo Leveling anime adaptation made by Ufotable or A-1.
All in all an amazing show with an intriguing story, stunning art and animations, beautiful sound design and loveable main characters. Definitely give it a try ^^

To be honest with you, I thought that Plunderer was really bad. That was mainly because of the super generic characters and the very basic looking world design.
Story 5/10:
To be fair, Plunderer has quite a unique premise, which is btw. the only reason why I kept watching it at the time. To put it shortly, everything is ruled by numbers, the higher your count is the stronger you are. A little bit later into the series, there is quite an interesting plot twist which made the show much more enjoyable in my opinion. For spoiler reasons I won't say what happened.
Art 7/10:
Plunderer's art style is
...
pretty standart, but not bad in any way. The animations are smooth and the linework is pretty good aswell. The only minor issue i had was the bad CGI, but it only is a minor issue because it only appears very shortly in only a handfull of episodes.
Sound 7/10:
Just as the Art, the soundeffects in this show are decent but far from great. The background music also isn't very noticable but still not bad, it just isn't any banger that you would listen too in your freetime.
Characters 4/10:
Honestly the biggest issue that I have with plunderer is that it's characters do have some character traits, but these just get really annoying after a short period of time. For example the protagonist Licht or often refered to as "Pudding" is a big pervert that likes himself some booty, but the show is just overdoing this and almost every other trait shown throughout the series, which makes most of the characters really annoying.
Enjoyment 6/10:
I really had to force myself to continue watching this, but the main plot twist really got me interested in terms of how the story would play out or how certain characters would develop after the twist. This show really needs like 10 episodes to get going, but it really hooked me afterwards.
Overall 6/10:
If you don't have a high minimum estimated quality bar, you surely will find some sort of enjoyment in Plunderer. It certainly is not a good show but still worth watching, especially after said plot twist kicks in and flips everything upside down. Plunderer just really is a total mess at the beginning but slowly unfolds into a more complex story while the characters turn from annoying twat's into quite loveable people.
