Quick review minor/little spoilers
Story 8/10 - absolutely solid. Following along the cyberpunk theme, the story does everything it needs to in the episodes given. No fillers, concluding beautifully whilst being coherent to David's journey throughout . The only downside is 10 episodes isn't really enough to build a strong familiarisation and connection with all the characters.
Music 10/10 - probably the strongest point of the show. Just phenomenal.
Art 7/0 - unique, but nothing special. It was a tad hard for me to start this show due to the art style.
Characters 7/10 - Good unique characters with their own clear sense of personality. Unfortunately not
...
enough screen time was given to all the characters as the story was focusing on lucy and David rather than others.
Overall high 8/10 - the show isn't anything 'special' but it absolutely does everything it planned out to do from the get go with a clear focus on David's story.

Quick Review, minor/no spoilers.
Story 6/10: Following up from the first season, the group finally decide to follow up on their mystery and challenge the white clad ones.. except literally throughout the entire season the Shinra and the others are just..weak. I wouldn't mind it, if it was concluded nicely but nope, for SOME reason, they end on a training arc purely on the last episode. I understand they're building up to the next season but the show had serious pacing issues, worse than the first season and the fan service was WAY TOO MUCH. When the show has more fan fiction than action to drag
...
out the episoders, you know something is wrong. That said, you do learn more about the Adolla links but honestly.. this season was kinda predictable. The reaosn I give this a lower score than the first season was well.. you watch a guy about to die and what happens.. bam fan service, then some joke, then some sad music then action again within the space of a minute - way to ruin a scene.
Art and Sound : Again, top notch. No complaints at all. David productions have always smashed it out of the park and the OP + ED have been great throughout the entire season. Sound was really well delivered and hype moments felt hype.
Character development 9/10: Credit where credit is due, the amount of development side characters got was really good, my favourite in particular being charon showing another side of him. There was little focus around shinra this season and though it did show, it really brought some other characters in the background more into light - although i do wish there was a little more focus on characters showing their thoughts and reasoning without blindly following.
Overall 7/10: Honestly.. pacing really ruined this for me. Very few animes can end on a cliffhanger right and this was not one of them. Story and the mystery is again the main driving factor for me, but man as a fellow hentai watcher myself.. too much can take away from the show in regards to the fan service.

Quick review minor/no spoilers!
Story 7/10: Honestly story is definitely the main reason i'm watching this show. It's typical to other shounen animes but the mystery behind it is really a driving factor for my enjoyment and experience. Shinra and Arthur are genuinely 2 loveable characters along with the rest of the 8 and the season was concluded really nicely towards the end. A basic overview of this anime is it's about fire fighters dealing with 'spontaneous combustion', except there's a whole reason behind it and they're working towards saving people and finding the truth. THAT said - there is WAY TOO MUCH fan fiction, if
...
you're into this ,all the more for it but it genuinely ruins the pacing so much when a serious scene is suddenly overcome by ecchi. At first it's funny, later on it just gets annoying, there's a time and place for it, not during a CHAD fight or a sad moment, just kills the momentum.
Art and Sound 9/10: David productions smashed it out of the park. Apart from the second opening song, the op and ed were on point and the art had no complaints at all, really well done. Also the sound of the adolla link is <3, really hits your soul XD.
Chracter Development 9/10: No complaints here at all, every character from the 8 is somehow seemingly important as another - always a good trait when it's just not the main protagonist killing everyone but it's spread out throughout all the characters, even the enemy; showing there's no black and white, but a lot of grey when it comes to their own individual personality.
Overall 8/10: Really good shounen, would've given it a 9 but the pacing really was messed up at times and serious /sad/funny moments are all just blended in, which really isn't a good thing.

Heloo guys it's me again , quick review little spoilers.
Story 7/10: Nothing special tbh, focusing around world building and side characters, with a nice conclusion for a lot of previous ongoing arcs since season 1. It wasn't executed perfectly however,there were a lot of scenes missing and pacing was really off in this season sadly.
Art 5/10: Again, nothing that special, CGI usage was better but again, a lot of scenes were just slideshows honestly, especially going closer to the end, you can tell they were getting tight on budget but putting in *tell and show scenes later* so you just imply what happens
Sound 8/10: One
...
of the best things going about overlord. The sound has always been top notch and still continues to be, the way they make scenes even more horrific is really well done through sound.
Characters 9/10: REALLY good, it's one of the things overlord has excelled at and continues to do so in this season. A lot of returning characters and a few new ones with scenes given here and there to nigh all of them.
Overall: 7/10. I still think it's slightly weaker than the previous seasons mainly due to the pacing issues, a lot of uncessary diologue when it could've been shown and story being rather weak albeit needed for the world building. That said, if you've already commited to watching the previous seasons, I would still definitely watch this as it brings a nice conclusion to some ongoing storylines.

Quick review, minor spoilers.
Story 6/10 - it starts off with an amazing concept of parasites taking over the body, being as intelligent as humans, with a lot of philosophical points to prey v predator, nature v nuture and many other themes. Sounds good right? Except it goes all over the place and the story felt like it was written on the go, with many points unexplained (Like Migi's decision at the end).
Art 9/10- No complaints, not anything spectacular but there were a lot of little touches such as Migi's view being different than Shinichi in his dreams, and the fights were clear to understand
...
with a nice touch on horror.
Sound 5/10 - Not for me. Other than the piano pieces, the dubstep felt all over the place anbd there were many a times where the music would be some funky type then suddenly change to piano , and then back again.
Character 8/10 - Unlike a lot of other reviews, i felt like they did a really good job at this. The main character shows the stages of Denial, Rage and understanding really well and isn't a one dimensional character. This include Tamiya and Kana as well - they were characters that stuck to their values and followed what they thought was right.
Overally 7/10 - It's a really high 7/low 8 for me. There were just too many plotholes, such as in an age of social media, only one guy (a PI) is recording the parasytes? what happened to all the other parasytes across the world? The story felt more of a philosophical discussion on the nature of humans except, unlike other shows that does this (such as attack on titan/cowboy bebop, Shouwa genroku yujin cho), the story just wasnt there to back it up. That said, i found the romcom side of it really enjoyable and honestly it was definitely worth a watch!
Feel free to send me any thoughts/messages :D

quick review minor spoilers. Purely focusing on this arc and not the overall series.
Story 4/10: extremely weak. Its a really generic shounen trope where friends win fights, except in this case its worse than that - they get destroyed yet still have a multitude amount of energy from nowhere even whilst they're being poisoned. There was extremely little story to it - that's basically the 11 episodes with some backstory to tengen and the demons.
Sound 10/10: let's be honest, ufotable are carrying demon slayer on it's back, no pun intended.
Art 10/10: again, ufotable made a mediocre manga into a masterpiece purely by the visuals. Just
...
wow.
Character 7/10: there was some development, especially in regards to tengen but they're more just 'throwaway' characters, similar to the demons. It was pretty generic where Tenjuro cleans it up along with his sidekicks. Not much to say here.
Overall 8/10: Ufotable can't be given enough praise on how amazingly well they pulled this off. This is the type of arc you'd fine in any generic isekai/shounen story, extremely typical. Yet the quality of it was out of this world. Kudos to you.
Feel free to message or discuss with me!

Quick review minor spoilers.
Story 6/10: I decided to give this a read after it being recommended to me for a while now. After reading through it, I have to say the story kinda sucks. The main reason is due to the fact its in a world with no boundaries- the mangaka could make anything up as he goes along and it'd work. There's just random demons with little to no explanation why it's those specific ones, and why chainsaw is the special one. There's a LOT of plotholes, but essentially the story is about a part devil hunter called denji wanting a date with
...
makima with a lot of drama in between. Overall, the story is really bizarre and far fetched - it makes jojo's bizarre adventure look normal.
Art 7/10: No complaints here really, well detailed scene with lewd ones here and there. Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of who's who during the fight scenes but other than that, it hits the shounen vibes.
Character 9/10: I think this is what makes chainsaw man so popular and highly rated. The characters are cool as f***. They're unique, with the type of attitude where it's the end of the world and they don't really care. Power and denji in particular hit those checkboxes.
Overall, it's definitely worth the read. I'd give it a high 7/10. But let's be honest, if it wasn't for how gory and lewd it is, chainsaw man would just be another manga gathering dust.

I rarely say this, but this anime is a masterpiece.
Story 9/10: a boy with nothing wanting to be the strongest. Sounds generic right? You bet your ass it ain't. So many Twists and turns that hit you deep on his journey with his friend Kage. Bojji and kage make a really lovely combo, with every character shown so far having solid amount of screen time. When an anime makes you feel every emotion, you know its good.
Art 8/10: it has a childlike cartoony animation, which honestly I think adds to the beauty of it and done purposefully. I enjoy it,
...
it's not hard to tell what's going at all. Fight scenes look solid.
Sound 8/10: Op and Ed suit the anime, it isn't wow, this is demon slayer quality but it does its job well, hitting the right tracks at the right time.
Character 10/10: wow, a character that you think is a villian as a whole story going for them, and it's always so well linked to the current plot. Queen Hiling in particular, is so beautifully well written. Also love how the story goes against the stereotype of fairytales.
Enjoyment 10/10: I'm craving for more.

Quick review minor spoilers.
David productions somehow managed to up their game every time.
Story 7/10: jjba has never been about the story, but the theme is definitely interesting, as they're in a prison this time. The villains are extremely well thought out, and actually have a little twist here and there.
Art 10/10: wow man, they manage to produce every time. The art style is beautiful and unique, true to jojo fashion. Just look at the opening, so many little details and references that have gone Into it, so many references to jotaros journey and more.
Sound 10/10: somehow manage to one up golden wind, how
...
do they do it.
Character 8/10: jolyne is actually really unique, a true sigma female. It's nice to see it, how many other anime have a girl Act like this? Not just her, but even the villains.
Enjoyment 9/10: jojo truly is unique.

Quick review, minor spoilers.
Story 6/10: what a ride ( no pun intended). This is 100% one of the better arcs of demon slayer... but only the ending. Were introduced to a new character on the train that's a miniboss. The arc starts off so slow, with the ending being the short part. I genuinely couldn't watch it in one go, the first hour is extremely dragged on.
Art 10/10: beautiful. Again, ufotable really do stunning jobs.
Sound 10/10: the music played at the right time hits me deep, good job.
Character 9/10: honestly all the characters played a really nice role, especially rengoku. Seeing them all
...
with different emotions does hit you deep. I think it did a nice job at portraying a certain scene.
Enjoyment 8/10: it'd be a low 8. I think it's not as good as people made it out to be, with the ending being the only factor they really took into consideration rather than the movie as a whole.
Feel free to comment or message me, would love to hear your thoughts!
