Pupa is one of the worst things I've ever laid my eyes upon and spent time to see if it gets better - it clearly didn't. It's one of the most disconnected, disgusting, fetish-filled series to ever be created, in my opinion. I'll try to not whine too much, but we'll see.
The ''Story'' of Pupa is a disgusting slog to get through, which is a problem when every episode is 4 minutes sharp. It's about this Imouto named Yume who sees this red butterfly and becomes this Monsters Inc. creation, and guess what! You don't really see that transformation after that episode. Her Onii-chan
...
Utsutsu is a little too lenient and after getting infected with what they tell is called the ''pupa virus'' he allows his Imouto to actually eat him out to satisfy her hunger for people, since he regenerates fast, I guess. There's more to this ''story,'' but I actually can't even call it one. It's disconnected. irrelevant 4-minute piece of shit scenes that go nowhere at all. Best example being Maria and her monster baby. Hooray for that and the nipple they showed is. 2/10. Disgusting. Episode 12 felt like filler, but it was watchable, so it would be a 1 if it weren't for that.
The necessary art section of this review could be summerized by me saying ''Studio Deen animated it''. Listen, Deen isn't a bad studio, per say, but I feel like they're almost always underbudgeted and produce something that's PAINFULLY below average. This becomes pretty evident when you see how rushed the episodes are, and how much they try to shove into them. The art itself is passable at best, and annoying at worst. The actions can be stiff, slightly, JUST slightly well-animated, and it's clear to me that all the budget went into those fucking vore scenes. 2/10. (Also, in episode 12 Utsutsu's eyebrow goes through his eye. Yes, I'm serious.)
The sound design in Pupa almost always feels unnatural. Like when a YouTuber insert a lightsaber sound effect that doesn't fit the environment and the audible noise. It begins to feel almost robotic, especially when in episode 6, Yume says ''Onii-chan'' more than 15 goddamn times and it sounds like it's copy/pasted on the editing timeline. And the music was utterly forgettable. Also, who the fuck puts a ''relieved'' soundtrack over a vore scene?! The Opening, however, is quiter enjoyable, I'll be honest. It feels exciting and somewhat interesting, along with the pretty art, which ain't even animated. It lasts 30 seconds, so the joy doesn't last. The ending was shit. 3/10, moving on!
The characters...I mean, what's a personality? These characters get NO time to get developed whatso-fucking-ever. Best example, Maria, the siblings' dad, Maria's slave, the vulgar guy with the knife who made me feel uncomfortable yet relieved for some reason. Most of them don't even have stated names! NO NAMES! Yume's voice lines and personality consist 90% of ''Onii-chan! Onii-chan!'' and Utsutsu is just laughable. Maria is the closest thing to enticing or interesting, because she's utterly insane. Yeah, that's all I need for this sick excuse for a moving picture. Did I mention this kid in episode 12 who has never been mentioned, we don't know what the fuck his and his sisters' deal is, and he's just there so that Utsutsu can get his Imouto to nudge closer to incest. Fuck you, 1/10.
For enjoyment, and hear me out, I'm giving this a strong 6. It's almost like you're watching The Room or Mars of Destruction. It's enjoyable for being horse shit and cringey. I loved how bad the gore was, I loved how it barely classified as a professional product, and I loved how it gives me that ''5 college students did this on a Sunday'' feeling. Yeah, I hate it, so very much, but it's hilarious in how it ruins the barest hint of something interesting happening by cutting the episode the very second the timer hits that fourth minute.
Overall, I'll give it a 1. Biased, twisted enjoyment doesn't really save it, obviously. I'vea heard the manga is actually better and expands a little more and is a hyper gory world of whatthefuckery, so I'll probably like that a little bit more. Trust me whan I say: Watch it. Just do it and enjoy the tears of laughter running down your face; because that's pretty much how that half an hour was for me. Thanks for reading and g'bye.

For the record, this from the perspective of a guy who finished the entire Dragon Ball manga yesterday, as of the writing of this review, then decided to jump onto this movie and is planning to watch Super. Good? Good. Also, spoilers.
To start with the story, I loved it: Beerus, God of Destruction coming down to earth to look for the sexy man in his dreams so they can fight for the sole reason of him getting some excitement in his boring life as he strongest thing in the 7th Universe. Thing is, Dragon Ball has never been about the super-complicated stories that are necessarily
...
gonna make you think too much. ESPECIALLY in the Z movies; those sons of bitches aren't needed, except for this one and the 15th, I guess. I'll give the story a 9/10, 'cause it introduces the already seemingly concluded Dragon Ball timeline to an immense amount of lore, story and fighters which probably will be badass, going off what I've heard about Hit.
The art in this movie; holy shit, man! This is truly Dragon Ball Z revived! I stopped at the Namek saga so I could go for the manga, but I can see the difference in art styles, body designs and the overall color pallet, you know? The orifinal was more contained with its colors, while this movie makes everything pop straigh in your face, which I find great for a series trying to modernize itself, which it did greatly for that reason. The fighting animation is simply 'mazing! And I thought the older DBZ moviews looked great for their time, this one goes all out when the Goku Vs Beerus fight comes; Sakuga through the roof, badass feel to it all, the new transformation Goku attains and the classic Goku-like way he takes it in as, that being ''It ain't my power, so I don't feel guchi about it!'' I love that way of thinking. And the whole God Ki concept, and how it can't be sensed by not-gods is an intereeting concept and it started one of the most fascinating discussions i've seen: Is Gogeta SSJ4 a SSG, but that's not of importance. Art gets 8/10, since at points it looks really off-model and that one scene with Mai made me scared for her legs. You'll notice it.
The sound, like everything, is up to date and fresh. Those classing punch sound effects, that Instant Transmission, and everything in-between is awesome. Some sound effects did feel like they were ripped straight out of a 90s movie, though, but that's not a big deal, since it's not on-the-nose and easy to miss. And the sound of the Super Saiyan Jin, just...8/10.
The characters, or the once that were characters in the movie at least, were fantastic. Goku and Vegeta are simply perfect (for the most part), but Piccolo singing...? That was weirdly good, bit it doesn't fit him, I feel. Vegeta ignoring Bulma's birthday to train in the gravity chamber is just like him and Goku fogetting about it entirely fits as well. What i'm saying is, they fit their roles as they should. For the newcomers, that being Beerus and Whis/Whys, are quite interesting. Beerus was quite on-point, in my opinion; he's the God so bored of being the most powerful creature in the whole universe, he's just seeking for more excitement. He would prioritze food over most things, along with Whis, and he's laid-back and doesn't give a shit, since...he's the strongers. Whis is even more powerful, being Beerus' teacher, although he's more stern at points, literally treating Beerus like his little brother or child; it makes for nice interactions. 7/10.
My enjoyment with the movie was through the roof, no questions about it. I enjoyed when the music would cut out for them to make their jokes, I loved when they called out trunks for flying when he could've just walked through those 25 feet, and whe he just says ''So? It's whatever?'' like the cocky kid he is, I felt happy. The fighting, as mentioned, was of the highest quality for a 2013 movie, I think, and it never left me bored, but I do find Videl being abl to contribute to the ritual stupid just because she has Pan in her belly, but it's gotta work somehow, right? 10/10.
Overall, i'll give it an 8/10. I just liked it a lot, which is something I won't be saying about the Revival of F arc of Super, apparently. Thanks for reading this and hope it helped in any way. It's a good moie and I recommend the hell out of it if you wanna see how it goes here AND in the alternative DBS version. Bye!

Evergreen is not your casual non-concequince anime incest garbage anime, like ''KissxSis'' or ''Oreimo;''it genuinely blew my pants off with its twists, and i'll be mentioning a few of them, so spoiler alert is in order here, i suppose.
Story: It's not really any different from the usual, ''pathetic protaginist aiming for a girl way out of his league, without even realising it's love'' anime/manga plot on the surface. It's the sory of Yoshimatsu Hotaka and Awaya Niki, with Hotaka being the president of the lazy manga clun and Niki being the ace of the swimming club. Hotaka enjoys admiring her from above and below, at
...
the same time literally and figuratively, at the same time. After he's told he has to do a swimming test to continue as a student, i believe, he ends up having to be around the girls from the swimming club and they watch the poor little guy pathetically embarass himself in front of them, and most importantly Niki, with her actively helping him with the test like the best friend you'll ever have, starting an great relationship.
Honestly, the story seems, as i mentioned, generic and overdone, but the twists and plot points revealed later on will definitely surprise you. I won't reveal the most amazing one(even if i did warn for spoilers, but shut up)because it'd ruin the whole story for you. I'll give it an 8/10, for being great but not too ambitious.
Art: Damn, i love how Kasukabe Akira drew this series, from the attractive and appealing body designs on all the characters to the beautiful background, nice-looking actions and the petrifyingly real emotions portrayed through the art style. I mean, i felt Hotaka's pain for a second when he cried desperately and rolled around in be-- I'm making this sound bad, aren't i? 9/10, nonetheless!
Characters: Here's where it gets real: Takemiya Yuyuko's pretty well-written characters that are generally believable and likeable. Hotaka, for a prime example, is a slightly anxious, slightly depressed student who just strives to interact with Niki, as if she's this...beautiful sun he can't reach(bad example, since he sees her as a lion, but eh). Niki herself, however, is not that simple to understand. She's energetic, beautiful and friendly...when she's happy with life, per say. When falsely accused, Niki goes all bully-like and could even resort to violance, going back to how she feels because of her past and all. The two side-chararcters that confused me a little, Hitachi On and Soga Shinsuke, who are also the side romance of the story, are hilariously fun to watch at times; On is Hotaka's kouhai an arguably his therapist. She's a smartass most of the time and enjoys pretending to misunderstand Hotaka just so she can see his reaction, and she's quite great in my opinion. Soga... The hell was the point, really? I mean, he's necessary so On doesn't remain alone and such, and their sub-plot was adorable beyond belief, but in the end what do we get from him? He shaves his haircut so he can prove he's gotten more serious about his studies and he realises that he likes On more than his 12 and a half thots at the school. He's not really...deep or interesting to any extent, but the other ones are great to me, so have a 7/10.
Enjoyment: I realised i spoiled what i didn't want to spoil by mentioning ''KissxSis'' and all, but nevertheless i LOVED reading this reletively short read. The ending is basically where the story began, but in a perfectly done way, with the character arcs fulfilled, and Hotaka finally feeling satsified, even if he can only watch Niki from afar and keep her back subtly. 10/10 in enjoyment, nothing else to say there.
My overall enjoyment with the seies was immense. Like most series i finish, am reading, put on hold or just drop, i found it randomly by browsing the ''Lovely School Life'' section, and i was happily surprised. Full recommendation, it's satisfying, the twist was straight-up brilliant and while Niki's 180 personality shift was literally the biggest bitch move i've ever read about, it worked perfectly and made sense. 8/10. Thanks for reading and i say give it a read, you might like it! Bye.

(So, coincidentially enough, chapter 39 came out as i was planning to write this, so there's gonna be spoilers; a bit. Another thing, this is completely opinionated and you shouldn't take me seriously, though that should go without saying.)
''Watari- kun no xx ga houkai sunzen'' was one of the manga series that tipped that really thin scale between ''Do i like anime or manga more,'' making me a complete manga lover. I strong a segnificantly strong biased for this one, but i'll try not to let it blind my critique.
To be fair, i can easily understand why people don't like Houkai Sunzen, it can give
...
an incrediblt bad first impression, depending on how you approach it. The way i did it was with the mindset of,''It's romance, even if it's cliche or ridicilous i'll love it,'' which obviously is not a good way to look at anything, but i've broadened my horizons since then.
The story is unsurprisingly simple. It's telling the story of Watari Nao, the guy who i can't decide if he's just that much of an innocent person or is just the biggest wuss in manga, or both! He has an incredibly strong connection with his sister, Suzu, and vice versa, with Suzu having an incredibly powerful borther complex. To Nao's dismay, the one person he relentlessly can't forgive forced herself back into his life after 6 whole years of peace, stalking him consitently. That person being, ''The Field Destroyer,'' Satsuki Tachibana, also known as the best girl of this manga, please @ me! We're told that she completely demolished their vegetable field 6 years back, causing Nao to...hate her. I'll be honest, yeah, that's dumb. I mean, a field is just...a field, grow up, dude. WIth her disturbing his peaceful life(including his not-so-peaceful crush on his classmate, Ishihara), Nao has to deal with the three women of his life at the same time, one of them not being in a romantic sense, and also ignoring a few other ones. Yeah, Nao's backstory is ridicilously dumb, and this is what i think, but a good cliched childhood is better than an idiotic original one, so i'll give the plot a 5/10, but i have to mention how each chapter feels like it takes hours to watch, mostly on the in-between chapters that take place between conflicts or dramatic scenes, but they're fine.
The art is not extraordinary; it's quite simple, cute sometimes, kinda charming and it works well enough when it has to. It's quite obvious Narumi Naru wasn't trying to draw the most beautiful thing ever, and he didn't; he drew a perfectly good-looking manga with great expressiveness and really nice locals and the character designs are quite, let's face it, sexy and attractive, especially my good ol' mate Glasses-kun! I'll throw it a 7/10.
Here we get into the ~~Characters~~. They're...ehh, good? Acceptable? Decent? I mean, i adore them, but i'm looking at this differently. For starters, Nao is as easy to understand as getting homework on the level of 2nd grade when you're 15; he absolutely wants to protecc his sister(and she's clearly the queen of the castle), he likes Ishihara, and he's anazingly pure, though credit where credit is due, he slowly grows more perveted as the story continues due to the circumstances he ends up in, with Satsuki and co., which i actually like about him.
Satsuki, WHO IS THE BEST BY THE WAY, is quite...passive towards everything, except Nao himself, shunning most things with a blank expression or a smile at most. She's got this mindset, ''No matter how much i love Nao and whisper his name while laying in bed, we'll always be childhood friends,'' which...sure, whatever, but i feel she's incredibly dull at the start of the series and gradually gets better, maybe a little before and after chapter 20, though i love her to death. She also gives amazing nicknames, like ''Glasses-kun'' and ''F Cup- chan''.
So, let's mention Ishihara, the one that doesn't realise her selfishness, thotiness(not a work), and straight-up how infatuated she is with Nao. I mean, this *insert insult here* tried to rush Nao into sexual intercourse TWICE, and the guy dismissed it the first time and was so overcome with stress the second time, he almost did it. I don't like her. They also tried some yandere shit with here that glitters in her character here and there, but it's underutilized and would've quite nice to see more of. Fully honest, her confession and persistence made me angry beyond words.
Obviously, i'm not covering the other side-character, like the Kouhai, Aunt, Glasses-Kun, etc because they're underused and i would've loved it if they didn't add them to the chapter just for the sake of plot; i want to see MORE of them, so try to use them more. I'm giving them a 4/10
Wow, in the process of reading this, i've realised my affection for the series is mostly my impulsive love for anything romantic, but i'll give it a 7/10 in enjoyment because in the end, all that matters is that you like what you're reading, be it ''Boku no Pico'' or ''KissxSis''. As long as you like it, eat it like your life depends on it.
Overall, sure, have a 7/10. I'd say it's a really devicive series and the enjoyment wavers depending on the mood you're in. I enjoyed Nao's emotional breakdow and depression because of the events that take place in the series, and the girls are(unfortunately, Ishihara included) good characters that i like watching for the sake of fun. So, give the first chapter a read and maybe you'll like it? Thanks for reading this!
