Comedy animes are bad, at least, most of them, and that's a fact. Repetitive, sexually related jokes, that over time become boring, if they weren't boring in the first place. Gladly, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is not part of them. This chaotic anime has the most entertaining 5min episodes ever and, as a matter of fact, is hilarious, as it is supposed to be.
The story is simple, a kid was born with supernatural abilities and is trying to live a normal and boring life without being noticed, but instead, his presence is frequently acknowledged, and he ends up in the most weird and
...
chaotic situations with lots of extravagant people surrounding him. A straight-up premise that works amazingly, despite its simplicity. A story doesn't have to be mind-blowing to be good, it just needs to have good execution, and Saiki K nails it.
Something worth mentioning are the characters, every single one of them is charming in their own ways and their dynamics are excellent, Yumehara and Teruhashi, Kaido and Kuboyasu, Saiki and Nendo… Everyone in the cast is interesting to watch on the screen. The only character that is questionable is Toritsuka, most of his jokes are sexually related and unfunny, but he still has some jokes that are great, and something interesting about him too, so he’s not that bad.
It's time to talk about the main character, Saiki Kusuo. His mission is to live a normal and boring life without his powers being discovered. The list of the powers he has is extremely HUGE, so he is overpowered, however, it works, because he doesn’t like his powers and it’s an important part of the plot. Something great about him is that, even if he is technically a god, they took the time to give this guy likes and dislikes, the reason for some of his actions and the details about his design, even the persons he likes the most; for example, the reason why he doesn’t use his powers for evil is because his mom would get mad. In general, Saiki is an awesome main character, and even if it doesn’t seem like it at the beginning, he’s a good guy.
There’s something about the show that might get on people’s nerves at the beginning, and it is that The Disastrous Life of Saiki K’s execution and jokes are fast paced, REALLY fast paced. The characters speak quick and is complicated to keep it on when you’re not really into it. Everything happens in only 5 minutes and when it finishes, you’ll keep thinking: “What was that?” because there are a lot of things to process. Even with this, the show manages to make it work out, and it’s good. This demonstrates that this show trusts its audience, and that they know they will understand the jokes and the dialogue.
A detail about the show that differs it from another ones is that the characters remember what happened episodes before, time passes as usual, but every situation is very different from the other ones, so this show might appear like it’s episodic, but not completely. It’s oddly satisfying to watch when they remember some scene that you liked. Even when you notice there’s something wrong with pacing, this show WILL give a reason why it is happening.
Related to the last sentence, in this show there’s an excuse for everything. When something weird is happening, they will give you an explanation, there are details everywhere, and if you skip an episode, you will probably miss something important.
In conclusion, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is an amazing show, and you totally should give it a try! It’s hilarious and in general gives you a great time while watching it. 9/10

This is what we call a comfort show. It's overall really cute and charming, the art and atmosphere are just unique and gives it a feeling that differs the show from another ones. The concept is really interesting, too. We may see someone who is beautiful, but we don't know anything about them and are only idealizing them and creating our personality or point of view for them; Komi in this case, is seen as wise and superior, without them knowing that she is actually an innocent and timid girl, who desperately wants friends but cant even communicate.
Tadano, despite
...
being just a normal guy, is actually a great protagonist, unlike other monotonous protagonists. He's genuinely entertaining and his intuition makes him so different that it actually makes sense that he was the only one who could understand Komi without any help; also, his dynamic with her is very charming, actually makes you care about them and what will happen to them. The blackboard scene is SO ENDEARING AND CUTE, creates an instant connection with the two protagonists and gets us to know Komi better, in her language.
The characters in general are great, too. There are some that are better than the other ones, but still. As the beginning says, the school is full of weird and intense people, which is not bad (at least, not bad for some people), because all of them have something that makes them interesting, except for YAMAI, of course. She's annoying and creepy, immediately ruins the scene where she's at with her obsession with Komi, literally, the only reason why she exist is to praise the poor Shouko, it's so bad she's one of the bad things in the show! There's Himiko who is cringy but there's nothing more to say about her either.
Komi-san is a comedy show, most of the 'jokes' or 'situations' that are supposed to be funny revolve on Komi's beauty and people treating her like a godess, only that. There are certain ones that do make a laugh but most of them are just repetitive and sometimes cringy, so a lot of times the comedy just doesn't work out and ends up being unfunny, could be funny for some people, but for other ones... not.
Not only the comedy, literally everything revolves around Komi. I understand she's pretty but, come on, that's too much. At the beginning it's actually funny but late at the series it becomes repetitive and boring, almost annoying (Could be for some people), even Komi begins to be annoying because of how perfect she is, but later in the series it calms down.
Overall is a cute show, sadly some people may not find it appealing because of the jokes and how intense and weird the characters are. I liked it personally but I know that some people may not like it. Mixed feelings (7/10)

Naruto is a boy that many people may find obnoxious due to his playful/prankish nature, he tends to make some jokes and pranks to get attention. He is also very impulsive, so most of his actions are done without thinking twice, ending up in a bad situation. Story wise, this behavior is not bad at all, because it makes sense, it would be different if there wasn’t any reason why he behaves that way, however, it is always possible that some people might not like that, finding the protagonist annoying and irritating.
Leaving that topic aside, Naruto is a character
...
with a very stable personality that might or might not be appealing to the viewer. He has a clear mission with a good motive and he develops as the series progresses. In the story there are many emotional and shocking scenes that make us empathize with him, making Naruto feel like an actual person and not just a two-dimensional square.
In general, the characters are excellent, almost all of them get a bit of screentime that allows us to know them more in depth, and most of the time, they end up stealing our hearts. Truly endearing and memorable... Yeah, well that excludes the female cast. The female cast is... really depressing, especially when we see the potential they had. Excluding only one of them, they have no depth and no emotional or impactful scenes, it's very clear that they tried to do it but failed miserably. This is because of the priority; the gender is prioritizing their character. So when they were supposed to be "characters that are females" they ended up being "females that are characters". Even the main female character, Sakura, I won't go into details but she is really inconsistent.
The art is okay, it is very pleasant to look at, but sometimes it looks kind of weird, especially at the beginning. Most of them are for the sake of the animation, because in order for it to have the result they want, they may need to deform the characters. Almost every single one of the fights are very well animated and have an awesome choreography, making them interesting to watch. In conclusion it's pretty nice.
One of the strong points in Naruto is the execution, even the bad things in the show make you doubt because of it, consequently, the show has a lot of impactful scenes and overall it’s really entertaining. Skipping the fillers, it’s not boring and gets your attention at all times. Definitely, the most entertaining show I’ve ever experienced, it hooks you since the first chapter, which of course, is excellent, too, a great beginning that explains everything step by step, in a way that makes it clear for the viewer. The plot and story are handled very well, except for the times it’s not and the power of the plot manages everything instead, but in general it’s still amazing.
In the end, Naruto is an actual cool show, that shows the world building and characters in a very professional way, it’s really complete and doesn’t have many of plot holes, it’s very catchy and entertaining, however, even if it has several stuff that are not completely good, it has much better things covering it. I recommend it, 10/10!

Ok, this movie is awesome.
It is obviously not perfect, but the plot fixes that.
...
The weak point in this movie are the characters (They aren't even THAT bad), and the strong point is the romance and the plot.
Straight to the characters. In summary, it lacked something. There was something that made them feel empty, and even though they tried to make some depth in a moment, it didn't really... mattered? It's not like it did not matter, but felt lifeless and hollow. The personalities of the main characters weren't so explored but the side characters did their job (Mistuha's friends are cool) so it's weird. There are some things that felt forced but well, that's it.
The side characters were important, most of them contributed something to the story and helped when necessary. Even though every single one of them lacked depth as well, it wasn't necessary either; they are likeable and important, none of them is just a filler so it's ok.
Now to the plot and story, they are AMAZING! It's so dynamic and it keeps the intrigue until the end. The romance its not forced, it progresses very naturally and everything makes sense.
The climax was so tense, epic and emotional. The plan was actually cool and everyone was doing something important.
In general is an EXCELENT MOVIE, and I recommend it 100%!
