Don't keep reading the reviews just watch it before you ruin your experience with spoilers. Don't read this either, even though it doesn't really contain actual spoilers.

With that being said,

Before watching this I thought getting laid would probably be a good thing, and getting all the ladies would probably also be a good thing.

Boy has this anime changed me. I was never a hardcore Christian anti-sex-before-marriage kinda guy. But right now if I got with a girl, did the dirty, then we broke up, I'd probably feel extremely guilty being with another girl. And I probably wouldn't want a girl that's ever been with anyone ... else. Would just feel wrong.

You can call the anime garbage all you want, but boy did I sympathize with Kotonoha and absolutely loathe Makoto. Had to pause every few seconds because there's was always something going on that made me so unbearably frustrated.

Screw all those anime with MCs that don't take any action. Screw all those slice of life anime where the MC is so mentally weak that he can't even ask a girl on a date. Screw all the anime that end with zero progress. Screw all these loser MCs. Screw all the anime that don't evoke any sort of emotional response in the viewer. Redo of Healer is better.

I do not care if 50% of it is basically hentai. It's better written than almost every normal anime out there. It's not a boring slice of life with the beach episode, the episode where they're on ... summer vacation and hanging out, and the final episode at the festival. It's not an isekai where they go register at the guild and go on quests. It's a story about a man who takes his life back into his hands and one by one gets his revenge on those that have wronged him while helping someone he respects. All while exacting justice throughout his journey.

I know all of you watch dumb anime MCs and think "Why the hell did he do this, why the hell didn't he do X instead". You won't think that with the MC, Keyaru. The man only knows how to move forward. He takes action. He doesn't make mistakes.

Call it "cringe". Call it "edgy". Call it whatever you want. I call it something where the MC doesn't disappoint me.

The only thing I'd criticize is the lazy animation at some points. I mean there is some seriously good animation at some parts, but idk, the lazy bits just really stand out to me.

Major points lost for the whole "big eyes" trope being heavily overused due to laziness. For a main character whose looks are supposedly her strong spot they sure don't show it off. I mean the animation is half the enjoyment. The whole plot really isn't interesting enough to make up for the lack of eye candy animation. I expected this to be amazing due to all the hype around the manga but it did not deliver at all. Was hardly any different from any other slice of life anime.

There are some really good slice of life anime, don't get me wrong, but this just ... isn't one of the really good ones in my opinion.

I know I pretty much only give positive reviews, but when I tell you this is shaping up to be the best anime I've seen in my life I mean this is shaping up to be the best anime I've seen in my life. Episode 66 of Attack on Titan literally kept me shaking and on the edge of my chair. I don't know how to give any details without spoiling it, but take it from a man who has seen 70 different anime, (I haven't given them all ratings because I try to be positive) you will not live to see another episode as ... good as episode 66.

I don't do reviews very often, but man this deserves one. It's like Konosuba but with a touching story and the MC is extremely quiet. I'm not sure why, but people complain about his quietness, so that quirk may not be to your liking? But for me I'm into it. He doesn't play a huge role and it lets the other characters get quite the development. Karyl's character development was the only one I was a bit iffy on but I've come to kinda understand her situation. However every other character in the show you'll love.

The art style is insanely good, like it's serious ... eye candy. The animation is fluid as heck and there's never a frame that didn't get full attention to detail. It's the studio's style and I see they've come to perfect it.

The reviews on this site don't do it justice. They'll give an anime like this a 7 then give an anime like Oregairu with such slow character development it'll make you fall asleep a star more? It makes no sense. I'm not even ever the one to talk about character development until now and even I realize how slow that anime is. This is far superior.

(This contains spoilers) This one of the best anime I've ever seen with only one main flaw. Almost every character is perfectly introduced and shown off. With really only a bit of an issue with the introduction of Near and Mello considering how big of an impact they have on the story. This is one of those rare anime that shows off true intelligence. It doesn't just introduce characters that know how to put together a rocket, or create a computer OS, or just people with knowledge. No. It shows off how intelligent the characters are by putting them into tough situations and making them ... use their extreme sharpness to get out of said situations. True intelligence being shown off instead of just knowledge is a rarity in anime. And that is what makes this great. But the one flaw is in the end. They establish Light as a guy fighting for a better world. A world without criminals. They clearly establish everyone else as the villains of the story. Less intelligent and less aware of what is right and thus fighting against "Kira". Light, being the most intelligent man in the anime, constructs a perfect plan, a plan with zero flaws whatsoever, that will stop each and every person trying to oppose him all at once, that is, unless the person working with him doesn't follow the plan. They establish said person as an extremely intelligent man who believes in God (Kira) and would never disobey a word he says. This person (Teru Mikami) in theory should PERFECTLY follow the plan based on the way they establish him as a character. But he doesn't. He makes a move that only a fool would make and disobeys Light's orders. Now, a plot twist is good in every anime, but the plot twist needs to be something that makes sense and the viewer can understand the reasoning behind after. This makes zero sense. There's no reason he should've not followed the plan. So, in the end, Light, with his perfect plan, thinks everything went perfectly, and dies. In this anime where intelligence is power, he gets defeated by the dumbest character in the anime, Matsuda. (He doesn't die to him, he gets away, but dies shortly after because of an impatient Ryuk, but Matsuda's shot was a pretty big reason) And it was all because of this plot twist that makes zero sense, that the real hero of the story gets defeated. But, even so, that's really only the ending. A bad ending isn't the be all end all for an anime. The rest was great.

This review is more directed at all of the films, because they were all pretty similar and amazing. I'd recommend watching them before the rest of the series, because while they were released after most of the seasons, they take place earliest in the story. (All the seasons are pretty complicated to watch in order and I'm not even sure if I've seen them all yet but I'm starting to second guess my thought that there isn't a part that's about the original Shinobu, so don't quote me on that bit where I said it's the earliest in the story) Though if you do that, ... your expectations might be set too high for the rest of the series. Anyways, onto the actual review. The Kizumonogatari films took an entirely different approach to the animation style than the rest of the series. It's the best style of animation I've ever seen used in anime and really makes the atmosphere something you can feel. The sound is amazing, both the voice acting and the OST. It's among the best OSTs I've ever heard. I still listen to some of the songs from it. The character development is great. It shows how all the characters came to be who they are. Overall I saw nothing at all flawed about it. Best series of movies I've ever seen.
