This is one of the worst shows i’ve ever seen.
plot: its ok nothing to crazy but could turn into something interesting. However at the moment its the stupidest idea ive ever heard for an anime. I was thinking at first that the anime could possibly make it work but no...it doesnt.
Characters:
Extremely bland card board cutouts, cliche, or just plain annoying. The characters aren’t that intresting as most of them have little screen time. The main character Itsuki is the most focused character in this anime which is extremely sad and depressing when cookie cutter harem protagonist is more interesting as the the main
...
selling point of harem anime is the girls. Also the raccoon thing is the most annoying mascot and character ive ever seen in an anime right next to Lambo(from reborn!!!)
Animation:
Just average. The fight scenes aren’t that well done compared to other anime but they’re ok i guess. The ecchi scenes are terrible as they dont show that much as they last for 10 seconds covered behind a curtin.
Music:
Nothing special
Final comments:
This is lazily done show for as much as i have seen with no appeal. This show could’ve worked as a hentai, ecchi, or unsensored ecchi anime with actual fanservice instead of two shadows combined together behind a curtin. Also when there is nudity shown it is censored pretty lazily. This show clearly is only trying to appeal with its fanservice scenes (thats why i was criticizing them so much) as it clearly isn’t the characters. Also it’s most certainly not the action (they litterly in episode 3 just say a fight happens and they dont even bother to animate it) as they most likely don’t have the budget or the story ad it sucks and is delivered lazily and thus looks terrible. This show deserves its average rating of 4.80. I have only watched 4 episodes thus far and continue to watch this show and uodate this review and maybe the show will become better.

This is a manga that has a pretty good beginning and then just falls of after 25+ chapters. The stakes throughout the manga get higher but somehow, I never feel as though anything bad will happen because it becomes so obvious that the MC will solve it rather easily. The manga loses a lot of its tension and interesting magic that is introduced is dumbed down to be used to build waterslides for his classmates to screw around instead of doing anything interesting. The world which was originally dangerous and threating to our Mc has now become a joke to him, no characters are in
...
danger and when it seems something interesting will happen via the frequent cliffhangers, they are abandoned next chapter and suddenly everyone is all right. The manga has become complacent, lackluster, predictable, and boring. Everyone is too powerful, unconcerned about the reality that they may not see their families again, nothing is a threat to them, the MC solves everything quite easily and no villains are powerful enough to pose a problem. The manga as of this moment has become a slice of life with half-baked Romcom attempts.
This manga has way too many problems and a terrible sense of tension, this manga has lost its appeal and is afraid to try anything new. This is a series born on complacency and has grown too accustomed to the peace formed by the MC. The MC has a dream to be alone but has strayed way too far from that path and it seems he is only saying that because the author needs to remind us that the series is called “lonely attack on a different world”. By the way this title is a lie not just because the MC is always surrounded by people but also because he never instigates anything that would be considered an attack on the world, problems just pop up and he squashes them easily. This manga has no drama, lackluster action, no stakes, barely any romance, poor worldbuilding, incomplete characters, no originality, and is unable to suprise the reader.
Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku after the first arc has nothing to offer but a half-baked story too afraid to live up to its title.

14-sai no koi was initially a very cute romance story involving two adolescent teens who genuinely love each other. At first it was very nice to see the two main characters just interact and try to hide their relationship (which they do not need to btw) however as the manga continues, it will start to concern many readers.
Let’s start off with the positives, the characters especially the main cast are great, and the best character is the first LGBTQ person we meet which started off as an obsessive lonely type then evolves as they must conflict with their own feelings and the feelings of the
...
one, they love. All around they’re the best written character in the manga and reading their story was very entertaining, and keeps readers invested as their story is second only to the main couple's.
Now let's move on with my qualms about the manga, there are a few other side stories/relationships in this manga, and they involve age gaps that made me personally feel uncomfortable. Many of the relationships involve fourteen-year-olds and adults in their mid twenties that the manga tries to play off as cute but to many will just come off as creepy instead. If it were only a one side love of a 14-year-old having an unreciprocated crush on an adult that would be fine but some of the adults in this manga have romantic feelings for the teens and depending on your sense of morality many will be split on how they feel. Now if we ignore the underlying problems here the side stories present are quite good and can keep a reader invested in how certain character's relationships would turn out, your enjoyability in these stories will be based on your sense of morality and how you can separate fiction from reality. By the way many of these relationships are developed in these chapters all named "intermission" which are chapters that connect to the main story but don’t necessarily progress the main relationship all that much.
All in all, the main relationship will be enjoyable to most readers and the side characters are certainly enjoyable to see come to life on paper however how you view fiction and where you draw the line concerning age gaps in fiction will dictate whether you will enjoy the side relationships. Many readers are going to probably want to skip or skim through the intermission chapters where these types of relationships mostly progress.

This is a manga I read in one whole sitting; it was story that kept me engaged so effectively that I just couldn’t stop reading. However, despite my interest in the direction of the story I left feeling it disgruntled and unsatisfied. This feeling of discontent bothered me so much that after finishing it I have decided to write this review here to express the faults I find with it during the latter half.
The fist half of Masamune-kun no Revenge kept me interested I was really invested in the revenge plot even if the reader's know he won't carry it out to it's fullest by
...
the ending. So many twists and turns come out during the last portion of the manga and new plot points that change the direction of the manga come up. People are hurt and the protagonist is having much more trouble than expected. This would be fine as so many of the main cast are being affected or being caught in the crosshairs of Masamune’s revenge plot. This is to be expected, what is not expected is the awful way in which they insert plot twist after plot twist during the last 8 or so chapters of the manga. This is Masamune-kun no Revenge’s greatest sin.
I don’t understand why it was necessary for the author to pull the rug from under the reader so many times, once is understandable, twice is tolerable, but more than that is just ridiculous. The twists aren’t instantly one after another but close enough that it really bothered me. I didn’t believe the ending, I didn’t buy the ultimate choice that was made, I did not believe that the person he chose was the one he really liked. This is not just me many reviews here have expressed similar sentiments. These last-minute plot points thrown in that were supposed to throw the main plot on its head were not good. It doesn’t mean the reader won't its believe it, I most certainly believed that what was happening in the story and that those plot points made sense and affected the characters very emotionally. However the choices they made afterwards after feeling those strong emotions of anger, sadness, betrayal and heartbreak did not make sense. This especially applies to the protagonist who after experiencing so much of the emotions above decides to choose someone, he didn’t initially believe he should be with and has expressed and been shown that he does not love. Other characters were cast aside and their feelings invalidated in service of trying to make the couple happen. It felt like a full length soap opera had just been condensed into the final 7 chapters with the protagonist flip flopping between each girl.
While I do bitch and complain, The the journey it takes to get to those final 7 chapters is enjoyable. The manga was fun during those chapters and keeps the reader interested, while the ending has soured many people's feelings towards it, I do feel as though anyone who likes these romance manga that have multiple love interests should give it a try. Who knows maybe you’ll like the ending unlike me, but if you have no interest or are a harem fan don’t even bother. I have merely finished the book, left it on the table and left the library, whether you decide to pick it up and read it or leave it there is up to you.
TLDR: liked it at first but too many plot twists soured the ending during the final portion and the enjoyment of the manga overall.

This was very poorly thought out,
Black Kanojo is a manga that has a somewhat interesting idea about a psychopathic stalker that puts the protagonist's life in danger with her presence.
Characters:
The manga has many psychopathic and deranged characters who do awful things to the protagonist (Teru) and get away with it. What you need to know about Black Kanojo's protagonist is that he follows the cliche trope of the "righteous nice guy" and "will do anything for his friends'', and follows it to a concerning degree. There are times where people he gets close to turn out to
...
be crazy criminals who frequent murder or kiddnapping, he also is the victim in these events and next chapter he just forgives the committer. He will not just accept their apology but become friends with them, WTF is wrong with him? Was the author sympathetic to Ted Bundy or something? Also many of these "forgiven" characters do not change their deranged way of thinking, they still enjoy killing and being stalkery. However, it's just played off as a funny or cute trait, WTF!? We see how they traumatize Teru but it is brushed off. I understand that manga/anime is fictitious and strays far from reality but I just cannot suspend my sense of disbelief to make it so I can believe that a cowardly 13 year old boy would be ok with befriending a psychopath that tried to kill them yesterday. In conclusion the characters are not believable and the main character is an idiot.
Art:
Sometimes it's a 7/10 on the splash pages but mostly stays as a 5 or a 6 as it follows the standard art style that majority of shounen artists tend to spew out. Nothing too impressive but still is visually pleasing nonetheless.
Story:
I have saved this for last as it is by far the biggest crime "Black Kanojo '' has committed. The story is equivalent to a shart explosion one creates after consuming anything from Taco Bell. It is loaded with a lot of things you shouldn't consume and at the end you regret having such a shitty sense of choice.
However despite the downsides Taco Bell is a good idea on paper when you're in the drive thru, Black Kanojo wrote its ideas on sandpaper which then was used by the author as toilet paper. The author then looked at the piece of defiled paper and thought it was some complex piece of intricate poetry and decided to share this unholy spread with the world via “Black Kanojo”. The author seems to have forgotten that the police have access to and can use forensic science in a crime scene, which is commonly used by many police in developed countries such as Japan. Also the police have no shortage of DNA. Every crime scene in this show has a lot of it, characters are bleeding a lot in this manga and would certainly leave trails, but apparently the victims and suspect are left unknown despite their red splooge being left everywhere.
Another big plot point (I will keep details vague to avoid spoilers) involves a convoluted plan made by a main cast member that when revealed is supposed to be this big twist. But like it's so confusing, so many events are just thrown away as “fake” to support this twist, and the plan and reasoning makes no sense. So many explanations and events shown/told just dont matter and are thrown away. One of them is also a big main plot point established early on and is just thrown away. It feels as though the author just changed his mind then went "Lol that's actually fake" it makes no sense, and the story became overly convoluted. The main romance in this show is really dumb and problematic, the guy has the weakest reason to like the girl after she shows massive red flags, and still fixates himself on her. Also he thinks that he can fix her serious mental issues himself, instead of doing the right thing and calling a mental hospital or the police. Also he isn’t being forced by her to do this, he does this willingly and in turn puts himself in unnecessary danger and many other decisions made by Teru and the cast are terrible, make no sense, and put other innocent people in avoidable danger.
Conclusion:
In the end “Black Kanojo” is a manga that I had more enjoyment ripping on via this long winded review then reading it. The plot gets overly convoluted, the characters are not believable and the art is passable through its lack of uniqueness. I would not recommend this manga, unless you are attracted to serial killers. If so, it wouldn’t kill you to check it out (only a few of your brain cells).

"Renai Senshi Shuravan" is a fun little series about a hero and a yandere getting together, while they try to hide their forbidden relationship from both the other heroes and the yandere's family, whom are in charge of an evil empire.
Story:
The story of this manga is very entertaining, but it is not thought provoking nor is it award winning (which isn't a negative). The story is just a comedy about a relationship that should not have worked yet still the couple manage to pull off. This manga is very funny and there were so many bat-sh*t crazy moments here
...
that I couldn't help but break into laughter. 6/10
Art:
The art here isn't like hyper realistic nor does it have like 10 layers of shading for just the eyelash of a character, but it is nice to look at. The characters look nice, the outfits/suits are cool, and overall I like the art style. The manga looks like a typical and action-comedy shounen manga that appeals to teens. Each panel feels very energetic and fits very well with the mood and setting of the manga. 7/10
Characters:
The characters in this manga are very entertaining to read, all have there own comedic moments, and all are likable in some capacity. However while these characters are enjoyable to read they don't really receive that much characters development and aren't explored in depth. Now I'm not saying that is bad thing because it most definitely is not. The characters work here not because of a deep character motivations or a tragic backstory, but actually because of their comedic qualities and basic writing. The characters very much play off each other and each interaction characters have is made to set up a punchline to the joke (the interactions themselves, rather then trying to move the plot forward). In short very fun and likable characters. 7/10
Enjoyment:
I had a good laugh on every chapter of this manga and I very much enjoyed the experience. However at the end of the manga I was left with kind of an empty feel because I felt as though the story was incomplete, I felt as though the story could've kept on going and that there was more that I could've read. However in the end I had a good time and reveled in the ridiculousness of each chapter. 8/10
Overall:
I thought the story was enjoyable, the art was energetic, the characters were likable, and I received a lot of enjoyment from what I read. 7/10
Should you read?
Sure if you feel like reading an action based romantic-comedy with a yandere as the main love interest then go for it.

Godzilla: Planet Eater was a bat shit insane idea that should have never worked but for some dumbass reason( God cooked up while high) it worked. Do keep in mind that it was all done in CG.
Plot: It actually pretty good even though it sounds like something a japanese Micheal Bay wrote.The plot however in the beginning part seems very unnesscarily complicated. There is also a romance thing that really sucks as the two individuals apart of it have little chemistry and I feel little to none spark with them as it is a one-sided relationship.
Characters: The characters motivations really make sense but the extras
...
are exetremly unconvincing and get inspired way to easily. It's like every character is Deku (My Hero academia) that grew up but still has the mentallity as his 6 year-old self. The main character Harou is a pretty big edge lord and is Mr pissed off for the whole facking movie. The other cast members are pretty plain and uninteresting except for Metphies who looks like trouble and peaks my interest.
sound:
The voice acting is done very well as expected from a movie but it isn't somthing to gloss over. Some sounds have too much bass and would make your head vibrate at the right volume if you chose to wear headphones (godzilla's roar). The music sounds very epic or intense all the time and really engrosses you in the battles and some action scenes.
animation/art
The animation is done in CG and in regular scenes it takes some time to get used to or not be distracted by it. However the action scenes and camera work in action scenes are done very well and look really great all together.
The backgrounds look really cool and full of life. The characters movements look kinda weird with them being CG and all which is very distracting as stated before.
setting/atmosphere
The settings in this movie look very cool and actually pretty nice as they reflect Gozilla's impact on the world. The atmosphere in this movie is very tense for the most part or gives off a grand feeling of epicness during an action scene ( since Godzilla is a giant and all).
conclusion
In conclusion "Godzilla: Planet Eater" is an above average sci-fi action movie with a great setting, a wannabe edgelord protangonist and a soundtrack that replicates godzilla's size. I would reccomend "Godzilla: Planet Eater" if you can stand CGI in anime see some very nicely done action scenes or hear a soundtrack that you can listen to while you fight a 1oom giant that just needs to breathe on you to kill. If not thats ok you're not really missing much.

Mushishi is an anime that goes episode by episode while following the adventures of the protangonist Ginko. The series is a great watch however is not a show to binge through all in one day as that session can get really boring.
Nethertheless the show is worth every 23minutes you pour into it.
plot:
There really isn't any overarching plot as the series goes episode by episode ( completely different plot for each episode ) this means that most episodes are completely unrelated to each other. Due to this you don't really need to watch the whole series for a good experience and you can enjoy
...
each episode as if it were it's own movie or show. However due to this some episodes aren't as great as others.
Art&animation:
The visual art in this series is just beautiful and can just leave you in awe. Every single background in this show can be it's own stand alone art piece. Also the mushishi in the show can look really pretty at times. The animation in this show is solid and never goes down in quality as the studio never goes over the top with the animation, as there is no need to.
Music and sound:
The sound quality in this show is solid because of how well the sound frequency is and the fitting voices of the characters are. The shows level of calmness gives it a nice and relaxing estetic that leaves the series with a nice comfy feel. However when this atmosphere is changed during a high action moment it can get pretty panicky and intense ( which is good ). The music fits right in with the mood of the show and sounds really nice. This is quite apparent for the opening and ending that emulates tone of the show.
characters:
You can't really get attached to any characters other than Ginko and one character that reappears rarely (Adashino). Ginko though is actually a really good character and its such a pleasure to follow him on his neverending adventure. However since you only stick with Ginko you can really start to miss the characters from the previous episodes and its pretty sad.
Atmosphere:
This show's tone is pretty sad, depressing and many episodes leave a bittersweet feel at the end. This is because most episodes leave an ending that makes them feel like there wasn't really an actually conclusion. Due to this feeling the episodes can leave most thinking back and pondering at the end of each story.
Complaints and last thoughts:
This show's pacing feels pretty slow and this feeling of progession usually for the most part works in the show's favour. This pacing speed usually works because the of the show's episode by episode layout that only works when the show progresses slowly. Even though i say the episodes are slow the episodes are actually going by really fast but it just feels like its taking a long time. Due to this some episodes miss this sweetspot of pacing and the episodes feel way to long and make me wanna die. On the other hand some episodes go by pretty fast and so you don't have much time to absorb all the episode's emotions, themes and mood. So please take that into account when starting an episode of Mushishi.
Conclusion:
This anime is an amazing show that not everybody can get into do to its pacing. It will however make you experience wonder, happiness, awe, sadness, despair, and emptiness all in the span of one episode. I totally reccomend Mushishi to anyone with at least some level of paitence and want to be left in awe through Ginko's many relationships , new aquaintences, and jobs thrown at him.

Do not watch this show is the biggest waste of time in the world there are so many anime out there that are just much more worth your time. Since this show is so unworthwhile i'm just gonna criticize it.
critiques:
. the progangonist ( Ichika Orimura )is the worlds most basic dunce in the world and is extremely usless on his own
- Ichika is super pathetic and is the incarnation of an oblivious virgin boy
- this guy says the stupidest shit and becomes a deer caught in headlights when a female touches him
- This guy is a colassal moron that gets all jittery when a
...
girl's breast slightly touches his arm and for some reason he feels the need to point it out
- Speaking of contact with girls this guy gets frick'n mauled in the face throughout majority of the show by the girls who "like" him
. The show has the worst girl characters
-The girls in this show are the worst and have the worst reactions to things
-These girls flip a tit at the sight of Ichika touching another girl on the shoulder
-The girls are just unbearable, bland, and extremely predictable plus they are just plain unlikable ( unless you like getting hit at any possible moment)
.This is just harem trash
- the plot sucks and this show has nothing important to say
-the show is unfunny (as the only "comedy" is Ichika getting his ass beat off screen)
-this show has the worst cast of characters
. The plot is all over the place
-the show is supposed to have Ichika go to a school to learn to pilot a stratos (mecha suit) for sport's purposes
-so why in the name of Kira's shit does the show have him going on military level missions while he's only in high school? I thought the damn suits were only meant for sports!?
-you can't have some idiot who just started piolting a weapon so dangerous that countries banned it for warefare, go on a mission that he could die from because of one little screw up, all while in high school
. the fanservice isn't even good
-The fanservice in this show sucks and isn't intresting
-also it gets in the way of the goal of the episodes so its just a nuisance and annoying
-Man you would think that a harem of all things wouldn't fail in the fan service department or at least give the show some entertainment or value
.Good things
-the stratos suits look ok
-the CGI is not a disaster (compared to others)
-its not Conception
In conclusion Infinite stratos is a huge waste of time and I regret every second in watching it.

Ao no Exorcist or "Blue Exorcist" is actually an amazing show and one of the first anime i have ever watched. However upon rewatching it a agian to ready myself for season 2 i ran into a problem for an anime only watcher. More on that later however time to focus on the review.
Plot:
You read it in the summary so unlike other reviews i'm not going to summarize it for you. However i will say that the plot isn't awfully original however they do play around with it quite well. The plot is easy to follow and you can have fun
...
with it but my complaint lies with the show's barely above medicore writing.
art & animation:
The art for this show is quite good and looks very bright and at times ( also cheery ). At times the backgrounds and settings look beautiful but don't expect these looks to appear often. The animation is a little above average at times. The panels flow pretty well and the lip syncing are done spot on ( for majority of the show). The fight scenes however are for the most part less than steller. The fights can be way too short or just not really exciting to watch. The show barely has any super impressive sakuga moments but the fights (some of them) do there job and can be exciting to watch nearing the middle and towards the end of the series.
music/sound
The sound quality is good and the music does its job but its nothing to write home about. The openings for the show were ok but I wasn't too crazy for them. As for the endings I have about the same opinion as I have for them as I have for the openings except that I think that they Were pretty forgetable.
characters
The characters in this show were pretty great, cliche or just all around awsome. The main character and the whole cast progress and grow slowly as the series progresses. The characters usually learn from their mistakes (well not all of them i.e Rin for the majority of the show), Also the character interactions between Rin(protangonist) and Suguro (the rival) were pretty funny. However I didn't get attached to any of the other characters except one named Kirigakure Shura who is just the best. Also the villians are pretty cliche and just annoying.
BIG COMPLAINT:
Back onto the problem I had for the show was that for episodes 18-24 they are all filler and for many including me had no idea that they were. Due to this when I started season 2 I was extremely confused. However while that annoyance was prsent I actually really enjoyed those last few episodes. They were really fun and exciting to watch. However do bear in mind that these episodes are void in season 2.
conclusion
In the end Blue Exorcist is a fun average shounen anime that can be easily enjoyed by the average shounen fan but hasn't done anything better than other anime. so if you have run out of the greater shounen anime (my hero academia, Naruto, One piece) or just bored I reccomend Blue Exorcist.
