One of the most fucked up things I've read so far... If you think Aku no Hana was fucked this comes close. To be honest I skipped through some chapters and went near the ending because the story becomes a bit stagnant in the middle and uncomfortable. Art is really nice and story is weird but at least it's a break from isekai and other cliche stories.

If you like fucked up shit then have a read. If you can handle fucked up shit and just want to read something out of the ordinary have a read. Don't empathize or sympathize with any of the ... characters except feeling a tad sorry for the main heroine.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS (For Shigatsu wa kimi no Uso)

The feelings that you get are very similar to Shitgatsu wa kimi no Uso. Basically the same trope is that a girl is sick and before she dies she wants to create a band with the MC involved. However, in this case there is time travelling. The MC confesses to the girl but she gets angry at him before she dies. The MC regrets doing this and somehow travels 6 months back into the past and is given a second chance. Naturally one would think why is she angry just because the MC confessed? How different ... will the second time travel be? These are the questions that propel me to keep on reading. The wish for the heroine to not die is very strong in this one but you know that she is going to die sometime... this is the same feels...

The artwork is clean and realistic with not too many things going on. The characters themselves are a mystery but can definitely draw parallels between the two. The MC with artistic talent being drawn into the world of music by a determined girl who wishes to form a band before she dies. She even keeps her illness a secret like Kaori.

If you liked Shigatsu you'll like this manga. I bet at the moment you begin reading you start drawing parallels between the two.

Felt mediocre in every aspect, I gave it a higher rating than 5 because I liked seeing familiar characters. It doesn't really go into depth with anything although it has an interesting premise involving "Chaldeas" which is a planetary replicate of earth using its soul allowing people to predict if there are going to be any devastating events in the future. Even with time travel into the past to correct the future it's not interesting which may be partly because there is little explanation. There is an interesting fight sequence but most of the fights are bland. And for the characters we're talking about a ... diehard devoted waifu girl that takes a liking to MC at first sight and a super weak bland MC that wants to be of help but is useless much like Fate/Stay night Shirou. His personality is exactly the same but this time he is even more useless.

Overall it's an average, mediocre, bland anime. It's an okay watch to pass time, but certainly could be better.

A friend suggested this to me and said that it's going to make you cry. I thought he was a pansy because theres noway such an anime with a weird synopsis and a girl with Beretta pistol is going to make someone cry. I did cry. Going any deeper will spoil the story because I think that the joy of this anime is exploring what kind of world this is and the mysteries involved in this particular version of the afterlife.

The music is one of the strong points as even without knowing about the anime it's worth listening to. The story has it's ... flaws but delivers it's intended message and emotions in 13 episodes. Now that I think about it many characters are not explored all that much. However, they are likeable enough that you form an attachment to them.

It's a beautiful anime that makes you think about your current life because obviously it deals with the afterlife. As even if you are reborn you are not you, you are reborn with different personalities and different circumstances. The life of the person that you have now is the only chance for that person's life to be lived.

Annarasumanara is a healing manhwa. It broadens your outlook on life with adversities that people face especially with the compromises they make when they grow older. It's a manhwa that allows you to have a chance to reflect back on yourself, check whether you are who you are and not someone that the world expects you to be or the world forces you to be. In a way we don't necessarily journey through life but life sort of forces itself on us. We change to fit the world as we grow. It's difficult to hold onto your dreams when reality says otherwise.

The manhwa ... addresses these questions with a easy to follow story that's laden with symbolisms. It's fun to go through understanding what the author is trying to say with some of the symbolisms. The art is easy on the eye and very unique to fit the dark atmosphere that suits the very personal and serious questions it asks. The characters do grow through the series as they ask themselves the same questions that asks the reader and to be honest they are very relatable. I could even say that I have met all the characters whether bad or good at one point in my life because that's how relatable and believable they were.

You can really tell that the author wanted to send a message to its readers and I can't find a single flaw as this story delivers that message superbly.

I've long passed high school and despite going to university two years earlier than my peers I am already 21 years old and have already labeled myself as a failure. Whenever, I see an anime where the main character strives for success it hurts me a little bit and I ask myself why didn't I put an effort when I was younger? Always making the excuse that I don't need to try hard and should enjoy life. It's funny how they're not mutually exclusive and doesn't make you feel any better. I always have this regret and I guess this is the reason why I ... cry so much when a character comes across an obstacle and have difficulty progressing and is on the verge of giving up.

It is truly a beautiful anime. It's slow at times but it reflects the struggles of the characters and how they comes to terms with their fears. It taught me to cherish the present more and not lie to myself.

Definitely recommend, I've never known that I've liked classical music thinking that it was stale and boring (I might like it because I'm a bit older now) and also the art's metaphorical expressions of what the main characters are feeling blew me away. It's very colourful and vibrant.

I hope that you grow attached to the characters and if like me not to regret the past too much and put more effort in the present... and most of all enjoy life while you're at it!

Masamune-kun no revenge is a new flavour to your typical romance stories in which you're allured from the get-go with the main character trying his best to make a certain girl fall in love with him. Nevertheless, although the story is intriguing from the start it takes a deep dive as it progresses with the introduction of new characters being so absurdly surreal and bullshit making you flabbergasted at their mere existence and the direction of the plot. Overlooking that aspect the story does progress fairly well and it does not stray as much away from the original plot line so I encourage not dropping ... the series.

The art is one of the best in this manga. The lines are clean, the expressions are well done and when it is intended for the characters to look attractive or unattractive they are. The fan services also don't detract too much from the plot.

The characters stay true to their own colours. You have the tsundere, narcissist, bubbly girl and the innocent trap. I liked how unique each of the characters were. The downside is that a few other characters uniqueness not so much.

I can relate to the MC which is probably why I enjoyed this manga coupled with the aforementioned twist to the typical romance. In addition, despite the main character obsessed with revenge the story isn't dark and disgusting but cute.

Overall, it is still a continuing series and I am looking forward to reading more chapters because it definitely does get better.

P.S. if it wasn't for the far-fetched change in storyline I would give it a 10. (I could overlook the MC's reason for revenge and the other characters because I can somewhat understand them).
