I'm starting this review with one small request: buy the book. You will not be disappointed, and, like me, I think this is one that won't just sit on your bookshelf. The art is fantastic, and the quality of each small story is pretty good, actually. So, please consider it. It's between 10-15 US dollars.

That being said, Time Killers is an awesome collection of short stories that, through out a few of them, you can see characters that resemble some of Kato's characters from Blue Exorcist (i.e. Astronerd, The Miyama-Uguisu Mansion Incident).

There are at 3 small stories that are colored in gouache (Usaboy!!!, A ... Warrior Born of Red Earth, and a Guide to Princess Clothes), and they are beautiful. A Warrior Born of Red Earth is probably my favorite of the really short stories, as it tugs at the heart strings (oh boy, does it).

Her earliest one shot, Me and the Rabbit (Boku to Usagi) is a good one as well, and you can definitely see her improvements from that point. However, my favorite over all is a tie between Tomato and The Miyama-Uguisu Mansion Incident. You'll see why.

So, please read. It's definitely a book worth your time.

Ok.... so, this show is interesting.
I did not come into this anime expecting a story. It's called Peace Through Bread, not much to expect there. I did expect it to be a little bit like Wakako-Zake, the 2min/ per episode series about a person's journey through food. That was fairly good.

This series is not bad. But it's bland.

Art: 8/10
The art is actually very nice. It's cute and simple, with good animation. The detailing of the characters, settings, and food is lovely. There's no question about that.

Plot/Story/Characters/Point of Series: 3.5/10
It's a show about bread lesbians, essentially. No major plot, no substantial conflict. Typical of small ... shows like this. They don't really have good shots of the food until the end, and it's more a slice of life with subtle hints of.... romance? Not sure. The creators seem to be unsure of what exactly they want in this show. The characters are nice and have slight humor. But they are uninteresting. The point seems to be going all over the place (and maybe mine is as well).

Overall: 5
This show tries. It's cute, it's kind of about food, and it might be full of lesbians. That's cool. It's not my cup of tea, but it is a good "breather" anime. If you are, like me, in the middle of series such as Boku no Hero Academia, Kiznaiver, and Bungou no Stray Dogs, this will give you a small sense of relief and might make you feel a bit better.

P.S. It should be called Lesbians through Bread. That'd be a little bit funny! Anyways, enjoy.

Oh, where to start....

Well, I did not finish this series. The top thing that is wrong with this season is it makes the same mistakes made in the first season. And there was a lot. If, for some reason, you are not familiar with the plot of the first season, well.... go watch. You'll see.

The art and animation in this season is beautiful as always. It's something that partially draws me towards a series. So, that's definitely not an issue. Music was good too.

Many characters in this series are pretty awesome, like Asuna and Sinon. Many of the supporting characters are even better than the ... main character, Kirito, who lacks a very good personality or character (in my opinion). And the story.... let's just say it's not the worst, but it sure went downhill quickly.

Long story short: it's about as good as the first season, if not worse.

I watched this directly after Book of Circus, and it didn't disappoint.

Based on the Murder arc in the manga, these OVAs seem to follow the story very strictly.

As with the Book of Circus, the animation is wonderful and the art is beautiful as always. If you were disappointed by the first and second seasons of Kuroshitsuji, I think you'll be pleased with these new seasons. It is still a good blend of humor and friendship as well as darkness and suffering, and shouldn't be taken lightly.

That being said, if you like murder mysteries (which Kuroshitsuji is full of) then you will definitely enjoy ... this one. Even having previously known how this would end, some of the twists are still quite cool and entertaining, not boring in the slightest.

Kuroshitsuji has always been a series that I can enjoy - both the manga and the show. The first two seasons were hit or miss, with the first being a lot better than the second. The first was at least decently related to the original story, except for the end (which wasn't bad, but it was definitely wasn't the greatest).

Anyways, this season is very close to the arc in the manga. I did not notice too much deviation, and I believe the sub and the dub were very good. The art is the same, with the animation being a bit better.

The story still ... impacted me emotionally, the same way the manga did, and I think the producers did well in not trying to deviate this time. Also, when you're done with this one, watch Book of Murder next. It shows the events right after this series and also follows the manga almost perfectly.

All in all, very good.

While the story itself is kind of a cliche shoujo manga (which has its ups and downs), it definitely has somethings that other shoujos do not.

For one, the communication between the two main love interests is fairly good. They don't go around, sneaking all their feelings. The girl, Ohno/ Ono (the translation varies), is very smart, and will speak for herself. The main guy, Akatsuki, is the kind who is "hard to understand," but he's straightforward and not necessarily a huge dick for no reason.

The storyline is fairly standard, but I have some hope that it might differ a little from the standard. It's ... lovely, and I love a lot of the characters. And the art style is so beautiful.

Please give it a read (there's only 16 right now).
