THESE OVAs MUST BE SEEN BEFORE SEASON 3.
Can't believe an important episode was put in an ova. I mean, it's ok for me, but not everyone watch OVAs. The first episode is just a common episode: termal baths. I loved that trio and Takumi, so funny! The characters are always well-rounded and faithful to themself, reacting in a realistic way. And the second episode is a plot's episode, cuz it introduce all the 10 best students in the Totsuki and an important battle start. So, both OVAs must be seen. You will enjoy them because are also beautiful and funny. Good art style.

This 2 OVAs deserve higher score. This time the MC is not Soma, but Aldini's brothers and Erina. Characters well-rounded, faithful to the series. I love Takumi, he is one of my favorite characters, and I love seeing his cooking with his brother. As italian, I think it's impossibile not liking Aldini's brothers. Honestly I want to see more of Takumi, seeing him cook and above all SPEAK ITALIAN is wonderful. I also loved Erina's ova, I like the development she is having. PS. Takumi seems in love with Soma😂 You will enjoy it cuz funny and good story as always.

I can't believe the low reviews/ratings I'm seeing. Nostalgia makes people less objective. This season, in only its fifth episode, shows the high quality that all of us fans expected and deserved! Finally Tsubasa has the anime it deserves. Really beautiful animations, more in-depth story: the historical version, in fact, cut practically all the off-screen scenes (and not only). On the contrary, this version also focuses well on the characterization of the characters and off-field situations. I wanted to wait until the end of the season before doing a review, but I couldn't bear to see such a well-made remake so criticized, without valid reasons. ... I had given it an 8, but now I temporarily give it a 9 to raise the rating. Can't wait for the others episodes and sequel!

This anime is crazy! everyone should see it. I assure you that it deserves a higher rating than the score you see above. 7.74 score? dude I can't believe it's so low. If you are looking for an anime that mixes battle, adventure, fantasy, friendship and love, Dragon Quest is perfect.Nowadays, and I had confirmation of this by reading the comments, you are almost looked down upon if you love simple anime like this. Nowadays people mainly like complicated anime, with particular plots... and yes, they are beautiful, but personally many of these haven't won me over as much as Dragon Quest. This anime ... has my heart. Here there are pure feelings such as friendship, atonement for sins, love, redemption, fun, never giving up, but above all adventure! For once, let yourself be carried away by these things, let yourself be carried away by this light but very beautiful anime! I'm happy that Dragon Quest finally had a worthy adaptation, unfortunately the historical anime was much inferior and above all incomplete...so I'm happy that this remake was done, otherwise I would never have seen this beautiful anime. In the 100 episodes, I've never been bored, and I admit it, I've cried, and I don't cry often for anime. Every time I finished one episode, I couldn't stop starting the next one. One thing I like about this anime is that all the characters, protagonists or not, enemies or not, have their own development and above all their own usefulness, no one is useless, not even the women, who are strong and courageous in this anime , another plus point considering that Dragon Quest is old. The strongest point of this anime, in addition to the adventurous spirit that pervades you, are definitely the characters. During the series they grow physically, mentally, emotionally. My favorite character is the character who progresses the most, becoming unrecognizable (it's literally like the main character). The series also has many plot twists, another point in favor. One thing that many might criticize is the perhaps excessive positivism of the series. I won't go into details, but those who have seen the last part of the series know what I'm referring to, some scenes happen in "illogical" ways but subjectively it didn't bother me, especially if we consider that Dragon Quest is an anime from the 80s, sometimes positivism is good. This anime moved me from start to finish, a wonderful adventure, when I saw the last episode I felt a void. My rate is 8.5 but, since there is no half-vote option, I give it 9. Absolutely see it!

Great special! I chose to watch it after finishing the original series, OVAs and movies, as this special CAN'T be watched before to have reached 800 episodes, to avoid major spoilers. This remake, in addition to remembering the beginning of the story, it adds many interesting details that deepen the events, added to the 2016 graphics. It also fixes some changes that unfortunately the original anime has made compared to the manga. In short, again there is little, but that little is very interesting. After more than 1000 episodes, this remake refreshes the memory perfectly. Every Detective Conan's fan should watch it, but only ... after finished the original series.

Every Detective Conan fan should watch this series, but also who hasn't seen Detective Conan, since Magic Kaito is not directly connected to the main series, but useful for DC's fans and Kaito Kid fans. Thanks to Magic Kaito, we discover many things about Kaito Kid, a mysterious character from Detective Conan who appears a few times in the main series, and of which we know nothing. In this series we see the Kid in his daily life, his genesis, his history, his beautiful magic tricks... and his encounters with other characters well known to us! and it is well explained why he steals ... and returns the jewels.. Not only does this series show us the daily life of Kaito Kid in his true identity, but it remakes some episodes that we saw in the main Detective Conan series, with the difference that here we see the Kid's point of view and not Conan's. This way we have the full picture, understanding how Kid plans for that specific episode. The only criticism I feel of making this series is that, probably because it was made before DC, it is sometimes more unrealistic than necessary: for example the girl-witch. In this series, in addition to having known the characters around Kaito well, I "re-evaluated" another one: Hakuba. In the main series I didn't even remember his name, since he appeared 1-2 times, and as a character he didn't tell me anything, while here he has a secondary role and I was able to get to know him better. I liked his character more and I liked his relationship with Kaito. Absolutely recommended. Hope we get other seasons, as the manga counterpart has many more chapters, evenf if it's unlikely to happen.
ps. Love the openings and the endings.

Good movie, from start to finish, mainly thanks to Furuya, an interesting character with his many identities, but who had few appearances in the main series, so I'm glad he was the protagonist of a movie, I love him! The action scenes were thrilling but a little surreal and sci-fi. All DC films have always been a little unreal, but this one probably surpasses them, and in my opinion clashes with the main series which, in its "unrealism" always tries not to lead too much to science fiction. Ran in this movie she is particularly obsessed with Shinichi, I think the movies make me tolerate ... her less and less. Literally in every movie she is in danger and in every movie her lines are always "Shinichi, Shinichi, Shinichi" all the time! So, I would rate this movie 7 but I raise the rating to 8 only for Furuya.

Can't believe this movie has only 7.67 score and that it is considered boring! It's so amazing! First of all it focuses on Heiji, one of the best characters in the series, and Kazuha, two beloved characters who until now had participated as protagonists only in movie 7 (in the others movies they were secondary characters). But that's not the only reason. The movie is really interesting and well made, it contains beautiful moments : for example: the moments between Conan-Heiji, (i'm in love with their brothership), the moments between Heiji and Kazuha, Kazuha's determination (I really like Kazuha character, she really has a lot ... of charisma and determination, and this movie shine her), the Karuta game, the scene at the beginning, and we also get to know Heiji's mother better and Momiji, two characters who only appeared a couple of times in the main series. I add: the subplot between Heiji and Momiji. Lastly, it has a nice murder plot twist. This movie deserves a high score. The only downside is that I feel Heiji is nerfed as a detective in the movies. If in the main series he proves to be on Shinichi's level (except when he loses his mind due to competitiveness and impulsiveness, as in his first appearance), in the movies there are many scenes where he fails to deduce as well as the eastern detective.

Good movie. Kaito Kid was definitely the more interesting character, I love him. One thing I didn't like here: the handling of Heiji's character. In this movie he is out of character. In the series he and Shinichi have brilliant deductions simultaneously, in unison. Here, however, he does not intuit anything, unlike Shinichi. Furthermore, he only appears at the beginning of the movie, in a marginal role. In the series he is a secondary character who when he appears is one of the protagonist, here instead he seems to be an extra / a helper. Not only Heiji, but also the other characters are ... mainly extras. But it's a good movie, the story was interesting, and also it made me nostalgic to see this movie, made years ago, dubbed (now I'm caught up and I follow it in sub)

Finished the first season of the anime. First of all I was excited to see the release of a new anime about football, as there are few, the last one I had seen was Giant Killing, a beautiful anime that did not continue, unfortunately. Ao Ashi did not disappoint me: although he has some things already seen and re-seen, he still manages to entertain, Nice plot, nice even the love story as a side dish to the main story dedicated to football (Ashito and Hana). It has nice characters, with stories behind them. The only big problem with this anime, in my opinion, is the ... lack of dynamism in the matches, in fact I think that so far the events off the pitch have been more beautiful. the games are very schematic, like in Giant Killing, and it's good, but it should take its cue from Captain Tsubasa too, who gave passion, dynamism and emotions in the matches. The relationship between the student and the two coaches is also beautiful (the relationship between Ashito and Fukuda is clearly inspired by that between Tsubasa and Roberto).
However, this is a problem that can be easily solved, given that the anime is in its infancy, as is the protagonist himself, who has just immersed himself in the world of football. Recommended to everyone
