This anime has its fair share of flaws, but its positive energy and emotional depth more than make up for them. The story can be loosely divided into two parts: the first focuses on developing the group dynamic, highlighting character interactions and personalities, while the second shifts its attention almost entirely to the emotional and romantic aspects, particularly between the two main characters.
The show presents both a semi-realistic and somewhat idealized take on love. It feels realistic in the sense that not all relationships lead to a happy ending: some stories remain unresolved, and sometimes people hesitate to take the next step for fear

This film resonates every bit as powerfully, if not more so, than the final chapter. Its extended runtime provides the opportunity to delve deeply into each character's psychological evolution, giving audiences a full view of their personalities. Scenes that might have seemed rushed before now receive the proper buildup and explanation. The movie covers every detail in a streamlined, well-organized way, resulting in a deeply satisfying conclusion to this masterpiece. Additionally, there’s a brief extra scene at the end that provides greater insight into the dynamic between Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, while also subtly engaging the audience. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder of Attack

This season is decent and preserves the same charm as Season 1 and the movie. Although I disagree somewhat with the ideology and implications presented, the show excels at establishing its world and setting the stage for events to unfold. The entertainment district backdrop feels underused, though: while “Zankyou Sanka” is a fantastic theme, it misrepresents the premise since the characters quickly abandon their undercover roles and jump straight into combat. Uzui’s multiple wives also don’t contribute much, making their inclusion feel questionable, regardless of how he treats them. Some of the fight scenes feel formulaic, particularly if you’re familiar with Season 1’s structure. However,

This anime is truly remarkable. Mitsumi reminds me of many straightforward, innocent male protagonists from shonen anime, except here, the role is reversed. She’s the perfect narrator for this story. Her journey from a naïve girl from the countryside to someone gradually finding her place in Tokyo, all while retaining that genuine innocence, is the key thread that ties everyone together.
In contrast to many romance series where the main characters get all the spotlight, every supporting character here receives attention to their personal growth, and motivations, making you feel as if they’re part of your own circle of friends. The show also employs an ...

This show perfectly embodies the slice of life genre. I adore the laid-back and leisurely feel of each episode, along with the relaxed demeanor of the girls living in the Japanese countryside. The anime provides a highly realistic depiction of rural Japan, showcasing its isolation and sparse population, which can make it seem almost desolate with limited activities. However, the area's stunning natural beauty compensates for this, offering those who embrace it new and valuable perspectives on life. I appreciate that all five girls in the series are very active, continuously seeking to try new things and learn, despite their different personalities. They are always

This anime is a decent and enjoyable watch, but it falls short of its potential, leaving me frustrated with what could have been. My biggest issue lies with season two, which feels too “safe.” By the end of the series, there isn’t much new or significant information that changes what we already knew about the plot or characters from season one. While we do gain deeper insights into Llenn and Pitohui’s personalities and mindsets, their character arcs were already well-developed in the first season. That said, this aspect was handled competently.
Unfortunately, other characters like Fuka and M receive minimal development, and much of the focus ...

The series is easy to watch and shows some potential but ultimately suffers from a lack of clear direction and a noticeable disconnect between the main storyline and the slice-of-life subplots. Watching the anime, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the author struggled to decide on the story’s identity. While major plot points, like the assassin organization or Hitoyoshi and Yuki's childhood trauma of abandonment and their struggles with self-identity, are introduced in a serious manner, the overall tone of the series is surprisingly light-hearted.
It’s reminiscent of the early stages of Katekyō Hitman Reborn, where, despite framing the story as a young yakuza boss ...

It’s hard to add anything new to the discussion—*Dandadan* is undoubtedly an anime of the year contender, if not already the top pick. Across its 12 episodes, it’s been an exhilarating ride. What stands out most about Dandadan is its ability to seamlessly blend seemingly random and unrelated subcultures and genres, chosen purely because the author loves them, into a cohesive and innovative narrative.
The action scenes are breathtaking and inventive, constantly surprising viewers with fresh approaches to storytelling. From thrilling chase sequences in an old building to a reverse classroom filled with water, the show turns randomness into something logical and practical. Each ...

The biggest issue with this show is its lack of a clear focus, making it hard to pinpoint what genre it aims for: romantic comedy, drama, or slice of life. It feels like a mix of *Bunny Girl Senpai*, *Kaguya-sama*, and harem ecchi elements, but without successfully capturing the appeal of any. While the last episode had a strong finish that slightly boosted my rating, the journey felt sluggish. The continuous, linear storytelling creates a semi-realistic vibe but ultimately dilutes the impact of each theme, leading to underdeveloped scenes and character arcs.
Alya’s character is reduced to a typical "tsundere" with a Russian-speaking quirk, and ...

Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, introducing new characters, events, and storylines while maintaining the unexpected humor and creativity that made the first season so enjoyable. It feels more like the second half of a 24-episode series rather than a separate season, though the two-year break allowed the studio to focus on the animation, which looks crisp and well-crafted. The new characters add fresh dynamics, and their interactions help make the world feel more alive. The author’s creativity shines in the variety of gags and humor, keeping the jokes and scenarios feeling fresh rather than repetitive: watch episode 12 and you’ll
