The Anime follows Hashima, Itsuki, a 20 year old full time Light Novel author who is absolutely obsessed with little sisters and wishes he had one himself. That's also the reason why he only writes about little Sisters and why the main girl of his Series is the protagonists little Sister.

When he's not writing he often hangs out with his friends Fuwa, Haruto a Light Novel author who debuted around the same time as Itsuki, Kani, Nayuta a light novel author that is madly in love with Itsuki and Shirakawa, Miyako a university student. She met Itsuki at University before he dropped out to become ... an author. There is also Itsuki's little stepbrother Chihiro (who pretty much acts exactly like Itsuki wants a little sister to act) that takes care of him. He makes him dinner, cleans his apartment and is often there when Itsuki meets withe his friends.

The main focus of the anime is the comedy aspect. Most of the time the friend group spends in Itsuki's apartment playing board games or just talking about stuff. Nayuta the lewd girl always says how she wants to bang Itsuki, Miyako the innocent girl is often embarassed by that and Haruto the mature guy pretty much ignores it and plays it down cool. This may sound dull but every one of the characters is still outstanding enough to make them likable. While some of the interactions may be a bit ridiculous all of them of them are entertaining and the characters really look like close friends that understand each other.

While the main focus of this anime may be the main characters hanging out it also shows the problems and struggles of being an author. Sometimes this is done in comedic way and sometimes in a really serious tone. This switch of moods is another thing I liked about this show. The show can switch from a lighthearted mood to being serious in a very short time without making anything or any interaction between characters seem unnatural.

Those different moods also give the characters more dephts. They don't have just one trait that solely exists to make the viewer laugh. They have problems like everyone has. Those problems also don't seem out of character for them, which makes them seem more realistic.

Every episode of "A Sister Is All You Need" is good and fun to watch. In some episodes it's because of the comedy and in some other ones it's because of what the characters do, what struggles they go through or what they think about. Some of them are more gripping than others but in the end it makes a show that, despite what the title made you think, is actually good.

Make My Day is a 3DCG Sci-Fi, horror anime that is set on a cold planet called "Coldfoot". In this anime Humanity has populated many different planets. The planet Coldfoot is (what a surprise) really cold. But on this planet is a ressource important for the energy supply of the humans named "Sig". That's why criminals are sent to this planet to go into mines and get Sig. The rest of the population on the planet is really poor.

Jim, the protagonist, works part-time as a prison guard. His co-workers often make fun of him and he's pretty much their personal sandback if they want ... to insult someone. One day something strange is happening and the prison guards are ordered to go into the mines, where they find monsters that brutally murder people and are basically unbeatable. Now they have to survive on this planet that is flooded by monsters.

Aside from the bad animation, that I would consider still watchable,the biggest problem of Make My Day is that it is super cliché and predictable. Jim is your typical "I have to save everyone" kind of protagonist. Then there's Walter, the" best Friend" type and some more. I don't dislike those character types but the problem is that they have legit nothing special. They're basically walking stereotypes. You could just copy and paste them into a different bad horror show and noone would notice.

How they act is predictable.
What they do is predictable.
The characters are so predictable that it was almost painful to watch.

The same goes for the conversations. They don't feel like anything special or unique in any way and often it's obvious what a character is about to say.

The plot isn't any better. You just know how things will play out and there's no real surprising moment. That, of course, makes many scenes that could have been exciting or thrilling incredibly boring. That way the moments where it's fun watching the show are very rare and even if they happen they aren't that good either (Maybe the anime would be a 6/10 if the whole show has the quality of those moments).

One thing that is kind of cool though is the setting. It's not common to see an anime that has a setting similar to this (or maybe I just haven't watched any).

Overall I think Make My Day is a boring show, that has a few moments where it's actually fun to watch, but those are so rare that the show just isn't worth watching.

First a summary of the plot: Satake Hirofumi is sentenced to death. He is accused of killing his fiance and another man because he thought she cheated on him. He then lost all his memories of the past. After that he even survives the execution. The police isn´t sure what to do now so he is left alive as an interim solution. He now tries to get back his memories and quickly realizes that he already survived many unusual situations.

When you watch the first episode you´ll definitely notice that the animation is awful. At first it kinda bothered me but I quickly got used ... to it and accepted it as the shows own style.

The story isn´t deep but this anime doesn´t really need it to be. At first it´s a pretty episodic series but later on the plot becomes more coherent. In every episode they tell a funfact that is pretty well implemented into the story. It´s not supposed to be some deep, dramatic story (or at least I hope so because otherwise it completely fails).

The characters also aren´t that complicated. They just have one trait that is usually pretty cool and unique (one guy is absolutely crazy about trying out all different kinds of food and local specialties) but that´s it. There´s no big development of them throughout the show but just like with the story they don´t need to be deep or anything.

Apparently the original web manga was published on youtube (the manga panels and a voiceover) and that doesn´t surprise me because this show feels more like a youtuber project than a TV anime.

If you expect just that this anime definetly won´t disappoint you. Otherwise even the first episode will be a absolute pain to sit through.
