Akiba Maid War is an anime that combines two seemingly unrelated concepts: Yakuza and maids. The result is a show that takes a unique and sometimes weird direction, but one that has its moments of charm and humor.

Unfortunately, throughout the series, there are several cringe-worthy scenes that may leave some viewers feeling secondhand embarrassment. However, if you can look past these awkward moments, the show has its moments of brilliance.


As the story progresses, the characters become more fleshed out and their relationships with one another become more developed.The last three episodes in particular are good, and they tie up the loose ends of the story ... in a satisfying way. Despite its flaws, Akiba Maid War has some strong moments that make it worth watching if you can handle the cringe.

Overall, Akiba Maid War is worth checking out if you're looking for something different. It may not be for everyone, but those who enjoy a good mix of action, comedy, and unique premises may find this anime to be a hidden gem.

Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon is a harem anime that follows the reheated formula of other harem shows. It offers nothing new in terms of story or characters, and instead relies on tired tropes and stereotypes to carry the show.

The show also suffers from being stupidly degenerate, with excessive fan service and sexualization of its female characters. While some viewers may enjoy this aspect of the show, it detracts from the already weak plot and makes the characters feel one-dimensional.

Furthermore, the main character is extremely dumb when it comes to using his powers, which is frustrating to watch. He repeatedly makes foolish decisions that somehow ... works because "MC", and his lack of foresight and planning undermines any potential tension or excitement in the story. The way he uses his ability is just awful, as he often wastes his powers or uses them in completely illogical ways. It's like watching one of those mobile ads that play bad on purpose.

Overall, Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon fails to deliver a compelling story or memorable characters, relying instead on tired harem tropes and excessive fan service. The main character's lack of intelligence and planning only adds to the frustration of watching this show. Unless you're a diehard fan of harem anime and don't mind excessive sexualization, there are much better shows to spend your time on.

Cerberus is a manga that blends classic shounen themes with the world of youkai. While the idea of humans battling against supernatural creatures isn't new, Cerberus brings an interesting twist to the genre. However, despite this "unique" premise, the plot is rather predictable, and the story fails to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

One of the main issues with the manga is the big villain's motivations. He wants to keep the main character alive so that he can eventually retrieve the soul of his mother, but he takes no steps to protect him when he is in grave danger. This lack of consistency ... in character motivation and behavior can be frustrating for readers.

Furthermore, Cerberus introduces many new powerful factions throughout the story that appear out of nowhere and sometimes serve no real purpose. It's confusing and frustrating when these factions appear seemingly out of nowhere, only to have no significant impact on the plot (i'm looking at you Kujin Family).

Another issue with the manga is that the main character seems to forget about his goal of saving his mother and avenging his parents. It's disappointing to see this plot thread drop off so abruptly, especially considering how integral it was to the second part of the story.

Finally, the ending of Cerberus is either a result of the manga being axed or the author intentionally trolling readers. Either way, it leaves the story feeling incomplete and unsatisfying.

Overall, while Cerberus has some interesting ideas and themes, it falls short in execution. The predictable plot, inconsistent character motivations, and confusing worldbuilding make it difficult to fully invest in the story.

While "Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie" initially appears to be a charming and delightful shoujo manga, it ultimately falls short in several aspects. The plot is incredibly predictable, and the characters lack depth and development, making it difficult for readers to connect with them. Despite its shortcomings, the art style is visually appealing, although it doesn't compensate for the lack of substance in the story.

In general, "Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie" is a forgettable one-shot that doesn't offer anything new or exciting to the shoujo genre. It may appeal to fans of sugary-sweet, fluffy romance stories, but it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression.

However, it's essential to note that this view ... would probably change if I ever used this one-shot as an introduction to the anime. It was created as a companion to the anime series, which aired in 2014, and it may not do justice to the full story, characters, and world of the anime. It's conceivable that the anime fleshes out the characters, adds more complexity to the plot, and offers a more profound emotional connection than the one-shot.

In conclusion, "Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie" is a one-shot that falls short of expectations, offering a predictable plot and shallow characters. If you're a fan of shoujo romance and baking, you might want to give the full anime series a chance to see if it offers more than the one-shot.

While Buyuden is certainly well drawn with some impressive fight scenes, the overall story feels rushed and not particularly remarkable. The manga tries too hard to be unpredictable, which can be confusing at times and doesn't add much to the plot. Additionally, the supporting characters are lacking in depth, making it difficult to care about their stories.

Overall, it is a decent sports manga that may appeal to fans of the genre. However, the rushed pacing and lack of compelling characters prevent it from being truly memorable. If you're looking for a manga with impressive art and exciting fight scenes, then Buyuden may be worth a ... look, but don't expect anything groundbreaking in terms of story or characters.
