FINALLY got around to finishing this season and with that Black Butler comes to a close. I've officially seen all the Black Butler anime content and I have to say... it has been a fun ride!!! I love Sebastian and Ciel so much, they are my OTP!!! Judge me all you want, but I was here for the fan service and I stayed for the content <3 <3 <3

The visuals here are even better than the first season, and the character development keeps getting better. There are clear differences in character dynamics from the first season.. you can literally feel the growth. Sebastian and ... Ciel are genuinely closer and surprisingly care about each other. The action is also so much better; I would actually be interested and on the edge of my seat for various portions of it.

Above all, the music!!! I also love Black Butler soundtracks but this season was even better than the first in terms of sound. Even the comic relief moments had appropriate soundtracks.

I'm not necessarily super interested in the Grim Reaper scenes which is where I dock points. Thankfully they're not super involved in the plot, but whenever they did show up, I felt myself zoning out and feeling bored. They are the weakest link in this entire franchise. Maybe they're better in the manga but there's something really lacking in their interactions. What purpose do they even have in this plot? Literally nothing.

Overall, I always highly recommend Black Butler to anyone starting anime for the first time. It's such a classic and for any fan of supernatural or drama or action or even BL.

This is definitely the best music/drama/singing/boy band anime out there, the best idol anime I have ever seen! I have yet to find one that can really surpass this with character development, production design, dialogue, friendship drama, and the music! Months later, and I still listen to the music from the show; it's that pretty!

I genuinely love every single character with my whole heart, and never felt bored for a single plot point. That is SO rare, because naturally, there's always that one "filler" episode or that one lame character we just zone out for in shows, but here, that is not the case! ... I never wanted to look away. Time FLIES for each episode, too: the fastest 23 minutes of my life. I used to seriously doubt it was a true 23 minutes too because it went by way too fast.

The MUSIC. I mean, I said this before, but I still listen to some of them. The competing boy bands in the show also give out fire songs and I enjoy them just as much. The lyrics are beautiful and their voices are just as great.

AHHH what a show! I am literally down to scream about how amazing this show was. I was stunned! The animation is something out of a dream and the swoon factor.. is off the charts. I actually could have been knocked over with a feather at most of the scenes between our two main characters.

Maybe you've seen this show around or heard about it and wondered if it's worth it? It is. 100%. Stop what you're doing and try this show. From the very first scene you will be impressed with the visuals and aesthetics. The subtitles are hard to follow at first, maybe, ... but you get used to it within five minutes, tops. You will be in love with the main character from the very start. He has this instant charismatic and lovable personality you won't be able to get enough of. After a few episodes, you learn how he has this deep inner strength and is not some lazy, lame God at all. He is powerful inside and out.

Then... you meet HIM. Oh my goodness. You will die. For sure. You will swoon. You will blush. You will be shocked. From there, you will no longer be able to stop watching. You will see it through. You will be mesmerized.

That is all I have to say really. Strap in for a ride.

This has got to be the best idol anime and maybe even drama anime I have ever seen. The music is phenomenal and the characters.. I can't believe I'm saying this but I genuinely loved every single one of them! There was not a single boring moment and I was never disinterested. I can't believe how fast I binged this too!

This is 10/10 in entertainment and the MOST fun I've had watching a show! Episodes seemed to go by in minutes, which goes to show how much fun this was. The music was darn catchy and the drama was well-thought-out *especially anything related to ... health conditions* and the way they resolved everything felt natural. Nothing was cliche or stereotypical.

Yes, there are ships, but you could always watch without any of that. They are a group of guys who bond over time and learn about each other, and learn about what it takes to reach their dreams. I learned a whole lot about the entertainment industry and how difficult it can be. I witnessed betrayals, deception, setbacks, and tears. I also experienced their triumphs, comebacks, life lessons, and perseverance. I came away from this season wanting to achieve more and have little doubt.

Idolish7 will forever be up there as one of the best anime I have ever seen, and whether or not you are an idol fan, I encourage you to give this a try!

This was a very average show. The plot was slow and I still have no clue what the purpose behind their routine was; were they trying to win or just perform because the ending was unclear...? I was bored half the time and the other half I was mildly interested in some of the bromance moments. I hated the random romance subplot, which was poorly done by the way, and the relationships did not go deeper than the surface level.

Compared to other recent sports anime, this was a bust. It's literally impossible to compare them but this was not the move.

You could skip this ... and not waste your time....

I am so pleasantly surprised with this. It was my first Chinese animation show, and I am shocked more people don't talk about it??? It was STUNNING: visually, emotionally, and plot-wise. The characters were all beautiful, the dialogue was hilarious and gripping, the plot was emotional and captivating, the music was gorgeous, and the entertainment value was 100%. I was completely obsessed with this show and could not stop watching. I had to literally pull myself away to get to my real life.

The romance was seriously so fun to watch and the development is realistic and raw. The characters make realistic decisions, have genuinely ... realistic emotional responses, and say relatable things. I am so so impressed with this show.

I really encourage you to give this show a chance. You'll be into it within the first few minutes. The Chinese language takes a few minutes to get used to it and you stop noticing after a while. I could not get enough of this show and I will be so sad when season 2 ends! As I write this, I am already halfway through the second season.

Some people complain that the show is quick and not many minutes, but I really love that I could binge this within three hours.

This is definitely not the best sports anime by a long shot but it was interesting enough to binge and be somewhat engaged with. I was intrigued with the plot and actually wanted to know what was going to happen. However, it definitely had its boring, generic moments and everything felt contrived, from the fan service, to the dialogue, to the "convenient" ending. You'll know what I mean if you watch this...

I think you should watch this if you like sports anime and enjoyed Free, but expect way less entertainment value. It's a low-budget version of Free tbh.

I thought the art was nice, but ... there was less emphasis on the actual diving portion of the show. Other sports anime actually go in-depth on the sports and explain the scoring, and take you into the inner psyche of a character before they perform, but this was mostly about their life outside diving. Even then, there was barely any character development or backstory. We never saw a single parent figure. One little thing happened with the main character's brother at the beginning and then we literally never saw his brother again.

All in all, I am glad I saw this, it was on my list for a while, and I don't regret the time I spent on it, but it's a solid 7.

This was such a cute and beautiful movie. My best friend and I watched this last night, and our only complaint was that it was way too short!! It also rushed in pacing and some scenes felt confusing. The love story itself moved so fast so I wish this movie could have been a solid 1.5 hours; this way, all the plot points could have been spaced out better and made more sense, and that way we could see more solid character development.

However, the actual love story and conversations were so enjoyable. The drama was fun as well, and I loved watching the two characters ... work out their feelings. They communicated well, which I prefer over misunderstandings.

In addition, the music was nothing extraordinary or memorable so I gave that a low score. The art was so good though!! I loved the animation and designs and the characters were drawn well. SO cute!

Again, this movie should have been longer and ended so suddenly. It definitely feels like it needs a sequel so crossing our fingers and toes that it happens.

There should be more movies like this out there <3 plus I am so grateful for the amazing dub!

I want to start by emphasizing the art and music to this show is absolutely fantastic. I can not believe this show is so beautiful... it almost has no right to pop off that hard because the plot itself is mediocre and slightly boring at times. I admit I've no prior knowledge to "swords" or whatever game this show is based on but I was pretty bored and it took me forever to finish.

What kept me coming back was the amazing opening sequence (it's in my playlist and I listen to it non-stop) and the stunning art. The cherry blossom trees, the skies, the ... beautiful males, the bright coloring, the action sequences, the details... wow, wow, wow. I don't think I've seen a more beautiful show. I'm surprised by the budget they must have put into this show.

I will probably watch the other show in the Touken Ranbu franchise and I wonder if that art and sound is as beautiful as this one.

The last three episodes were probably the best in the season, but the middle section was dry and I stopped watching for an entire week as a result. I felt kind of bittersweet emotions at the ending and felt it was rushed, so I would say this show is good and enjoyable.

If just for art and music alone, I would say watch this show for sure, but it can be a relaxing background show.

I had a genuine blast watching this and felt so empty when it ended! Binged it all in one day -- laughed, cringed, and gasped through the entire plot. It's honestly such fun! Yes, there are a lot of "issues" with certain characters and the way they treat each other, but this is fiction and I don't think we should necessarily go out into the real world and replicate their love or something, but that doesn't mean it wasn't super entertaining to watch.

The romance was so realistic and well-developed, and not rushed at all. I think if you love a relationship that develops halfway ... through, and not at the last minute, you'll enjoy this show. I'm not huge on romance anime, but this was enjoyable from start to finish. There are hilarious scenes too and parts where you really just want to cringe at the main girl, but all's well that ends well.

Seriously this is so much fun and sadly only 12 episodes! I had a great time and know you will, too.
