I'm aware and that my opinion is gonna be in the minority here but I don't think this deserves a level of hate it received

Sure they cut some stuff out and it 100% isn't perfect but I'd still say that all of the majorly important story stuff and all of the important actions scenes are here, It's still all mostly here just cropped a bit

You should definitely still rewatch the original over this but for a rewatch if you haven't seen the Fishman island arc, This is definitely for you

I'd rank this a solid 7/10 nothing groundbreaking, The animation is a bit nicer in my ... opinion though

Okitsura is probably the most unique anime, It's essentially about an island in Japan called “Okinawa” and it centers around basically a kind of love triangle but never takes the dive to do anything with that and keeps the romance stuff to cute Flustered/Overthinking moments

This is normally not the show I'd ever sit down and watch but this still very much impressed me, The animation is surprising fantastic irritatingly me so (Keep in mind this is the same studio that made fucking Berserk 2016, I'm not kidding look it up)

The characters are cute, There isn't anything groundbreaking about them they remain in the ... realm of generic anime characters and somewhat interesting depending on what episode you are currently watching

This anime is also surprisingly educational and might be one of the first animated seriously teach me something aside from the Okinawa traditions, Like having an segment on the “Iriomote cat” which is an endangered species of cat that I shit you not it looks almost indistinguishable from a regular house cat with the only real differences being The “Iriomote cat” eats reptiles like frogs snakes ect


This was a cute little distraction of a show, My ranking for it is a 7/10

I'm going to call it now this is going to go down as a bonafide classic, Zenshu is definitely really interesting because I'm not much of a Isekai person but this really pulled me in

First off the animation is just completely breathtaking like seriously this might go down having the best animation in 2025 within the anime

I won't spoil your much about the story but the basic premise of the plot is a woman who is a animator in the real world chokes on something (Can't be bothered to remember what) is then transported to the fictional world to the movie that her animation studio ... is working on

The characters are pretty good definitely rememberable, My only gripe with the series is that during that recurring Zenshu drawing segment that's in every episode and I mean every episode gets old after the first three times you're shown the scene since it reminds pretty much unchanged throughout the entire running time, Like you could have spiced it up a little bit after the first time you know?


Anyways my ranking for this is a 8/10 definitely want a second season of this

I actually really enjoyed this Sakamoto Days, Definitely isn't perfect and I'd like to one day sit down and read the manga but I'd say it was still a good watch, The animation is especially good with some of the most creative fight scenes I've probably seen in anime

The characters are pretty good, Reminds me a bit of SpyxFamily where there isn't necessarily an ongoing story just silly little side adventures inside their convenience store or out fighting hitmen, the Mafia ect

I wasn't planning on reviewing it but here it is, My rating for it is a 8/10 it was very good and definitely worth ... the watch

Gunsmith Cats is possibly one of the best animes to come from the late 90’s in terms of animation at the least, The car chase scene, The little things like them loading the magazines into the guns just phenomenal animation

The story isn't anything crazy, Just two girls and some guns but I'd say this was definitely worth a watch, Good enough for casual people to sit through but nothing crazy


I'd rank this a solid 7/10, I haven't read it as of writing this but I suggest reading the manga if you do enjoy this since they do a lot more in the manga from what ... I gather from the amount of chapters alone

Season 3

I'm writing this as apart of the definitive Gintama review (I made for the previous season so please go check that out for context for this) but I want to clarify for context that I have only seen this and the past seasons as of writing this

This as of writing has been the best season so far, The blonde Gintoki Imposter part was alright, The tragic love story bit with the shogun was again alright, I did love the Tsukuyo bits in that part I will add, They did a entire Star Wars parody, I never thought I'd be able to type out the ... words “Anime Yoda Terrorists” before but guess we live in a word where that's a thing, The final episode was actually my favorite of the season, I don't overwrite my thoughts but Sadaharu's episode might possibly be one of my favorite parts of this entire series, Absolutely beautiful short story of Sadaharu taking care of the puppy

Gintoki also got a lot of focus this season which was honestly really nice to see since he can sometimes feel like a background character in his own show, Gintoki also received two major fights which were awesome and I hope that there's more of them to come in the future

Unlike the past two seasons where I liked about 50% of the show's actual content, This season was different, I honestly don't believe there to be a single bad episode in this season, I hope the fourth doesn't disappoint but we'll see




Over all I still think this season was beyond fantastic enough to deserve a 10/10, Definitely was worth sitting through the past two, I shall see you in the fourth review

My last Review for 2024, Honestly I really liked this DanDaDan was a nice change from the typical shounen anime

I won't try to spoil a whole lot about the story is about but it has a good mix of romance and comedy with some sci-fi mixed in

For the characters Ken Takakura (Okarun) is fine with not really much to say expert for spoilers the whole story revolves getting his balls which is probably the most interesting thing about him without including his relationship with the next character, I'm gonna be speaking about

Momo is single handedly is the most interesting character in this series, Her relationship ... with Okarun is probably the most genuine thing I've seen in fiction to date, Her banter with basically everything is hilarious, She genuinely might become one of the greatest female characters in shounen behind the ones from One Piece (Biased take probably, Screw you) and Frieren which is anime that came out this year

The mix of aliens and Yokai, The comedy, The relationship between our main characters, the amount of references surprisingly, And the weirdness of the whole series just adds so much charm to it

I look forward to the following season back home after this, Hopefully they don't drop the ball but for right now I'm giving this a Ranking of 10/10

Now this is a relatively new series as I am reviewing this so I'll probably update this once more chapters come out, As of right this will only be of the 3 chapters translated in English

I'll be honest Drama Queen isn't bad, So far it's about a bunch of aliens that come to earth and this two characters Nomamoto a girl who has a shit alien boss at her job, She later meets a guy named Kitami who's family was killed by aliens in a car accident

The premise of the story is basically they come together over they shared hatred for the aliens, Kitami ... eventually ends up killing an alien and brings the body to Nomamoto's apartment then he asked for her help in getting rid of the body, She then proceeds to fucking cook and eat the alien (I'm dead fucking serious she eats it) and now they apparently work for this guy who wants to pay them for killing aliens?, That's pretty much the story so far from what I've gathered

Other than the plot of the manga I honestly thought this was pretty funny, I fucking despise censorship so it's already started and I'm already looking forward for what comes of this manga, Also the panels look really good here

Giving it a solid 7/10 but my hopes for this are that rating goes up in time

The Ranking of King, I actually have a lot to say about this one

I wasn't a fan of the first episode I'll admit that but man this series was rough, Probably one of the most emotional stories I've watched in a really long time, I won't spoil the story at all but I will say this reminded me a bit of Game of thrones, After the second episode this show really becomes something truly special and a series I feel like deserves a watch

(Character stuff)

Bojji in terms of main characters in anime media his little guy achieves more then any single one of them, ... He's also deaf which you don't see a lot of in anime so that was really nice to see, I loved literally any scene with him and Kage (Another character I have a ton to say about) now Bojji isn't a scene stealer or anything but watching this guy was worth it


Now in my opinion Kage is probably the best character tied with any Hiling (Who was my favorite and I'll talk more about her in a bit) I'll say this about Kage, Any episode that mainly focuses on him is a 10/10 by itself, Loved his background, Loved his relationship with Bojjj to the point where I'd say it rivals that of the Luffy/Zoro dynamic that I love from One piece (I don't know how else to describe it) he definitely belongs in the top 10 of best supporting characters in anime

Now I know I said I loved Kage and I do stand by that, But man Hiling really caught me off guard to the point where I'd say she main be one of the best moms in anime, I won't say any spoilers but man Hiling might be my favorite character from this series just barely beating Kage

Other characters I'll mention are Daida, Didn't care for his plot since he just reminds me of Joffrey and nothing really changed that as the story progressed, I also didn't care about Miranjo after the fucking plot point I'll get into in just a sec, Because she should have just died if they were going to go down that route to spare her amazing character development


Now I'll say you I didn't like about this show, What the fuck was with Daida taking Miranjo as his wife?, I mean really?, That fucking might be my only issue with this series because why the fuck did they need to write that in

(Final thoughts)

My ranking for this is a solid 9/10, It definitely had some issues some so more than others but I feel like the good parts outweigh the bad

Your Lie In April was a series I've been thinking about watching for a while and honesty I quite enjoyed this one

For starters the animation especially coming from 2014-2015 looks amazing, For context I'm writing this review at the end of 2024 so this anime is a decade old now but looks like something that would come out today, It's very impressive, The piano playing scenes are just completely out of this world

Character wise I actually have a lot to say, Arima is another one of those “Insecure Teenager Characters” which is fine but the background of the abuse he suffered from his mother ... really adds depth to his character

Kaori by herself is definitely the soul of this series, I enjoyed her comedic moments but when it comes to her sad moments, Oh it's completely heartbreaking, Very fucking heartbreaking, The scene where she loses the ability to walk is probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire show, Finding out she was pulling the strings the entire time throughout the show was rather interesting, You never would expect a Death Note like feat to come from a character like this

Now Kaori was great but Tsubaki was even better, I feel like she steals every scene that she's in especially near its end, Now her story trying to figure out her feelings can be a little drawn out but it has some charm to it

I also oddly like Nagis short storyline especially her duet with Arima, That scene was probably it was beautifully animated second to only Arima playing in the finale

The storyline was really good here and the writing was top notch, My Ranking for this is a complete 10/10 for this masterpiece of a anime
