Oshi no Ko is a curious piece, blending an incredibly high emotional charge with an equally strange narrative. It kicks off with a bang, pulling you from the heights of joy down to the depths of sorrow with such ease that it leaves you in tears, deeply invested in the characters.

As we follow the journeys of Ruby and Aqua, the story shines by keeping us thoroughly entertained. Sure, some arcs stand out more than others, but throughout the entire tale, my interest in these characters never waned. The secondary characters, like Kana-chan and Akane-chan, are worth mentioning too; their complexity and distinct personalities add so ... much to the narrative.

The art style is simply beautiful and vibrant, much like the characters themselves.

Now, the latest arc may not sit well with everyone. I have mixed feelings about it myself, but I believe the ending is fitting. The story circles back to its roots, leaving me genuinely sad yet fully understanding.

This review was written before the final chapter's release, but overall, as a tragic tale, it's one I loved following. Despite its controversial and diverse points, I enjoyed reading it a lot. I believe anyone willing to dive into it will find themselves liking, crying, and being deeply moved by Oshi no Ko, which, despite its lows, leaves me with a feeling of fulfillment. I truly adored this manga, thank you.

I think it's incredible how this anime has a simple story of love between teenagers, but it manages to convey a feeling of realism that was rarely seen before. The truth is that this is not an easy anime to watch, nor can I recommend it, as there is nothing special about it, but when you watch it, you understand the reasons why it is an excellent anime, in its subtleties, in its depth of the relationships between the characters, in the love, respect and affection between them, you can feel all of this, because it is very real. If you're looking for a real ... relationship, in a real world, this anime is for you, enjoy it, it's worth it.

This anime is a hidden gem that unfolds its brilliance slowly but surely. At first glance, it might not grab your attention, but give it time, and you’ll find yourself drawn into a world that’s both intriguing and rich in detail. There are moments so touching that they’ll bring a tear to your eye.

One such moment, which I’ll keep as a surprise, touches the heart in a way that makes you feel an intimate bond with the characters. Another moment, though, is a double-edged sword; it’s as unsettling as it is moving, leaving a complex mix of emotions in its wake.

The anime’s conclusion, however, is ... where it stumbles. It had the potential to be a masterpiece, but it falters in addressing certain darker themes, leaving you with more questions than answers. It’s a shame, really, because the journey up to that point, with its stunning animation and character arcs, is nothing short of remarkable.

Weighing everything, I’d settle on a 6 out of 10. The ending just doesn’t do justice to the anime’s otherwise stellar qualities.

Let me paint a picture for you: Kimi Zero—an anime that whispers of inconsequential teenage romance. 🌸

This delightful series delves into themes of love, social isolation, and family fractures. At first glance, I admit, it seemed a tad unrealistic. I mean, don’t we all secretly hope that if we like someone, they might just like us back? But alas, reality doesn’t always play along—cue the wry laughter! 😄

Now, let’s talk characters. Runa, oh Runa! She’s a gem—far from perfect, mind you. She tiptoes on the tightrope between adulthood and youthful innocence. Her quirks? Endearing. Her cuteness? Off the charts. 🌟

And then there’s Ryuto. Initially, he’s ... the shy kid in the corner, blushing at the mere thought of conversation. But hold your horses! By the final stretch, he blossoms into a character with depth and growth. It’s like watching a caterpillar transform into a butterfly—okay, maybe not that poetic, but you get the drift. 🦋

Now, the anime itself mirrors its characters. It evolves, matures, and—dare I say—becomes downright captivating. Episode 11? A crescendo of emotions. You’ll feel it—the raw, unfiltered connection between this couple. It’s like catching fireflies in a jar—a fleeting, magical moment that warms your heart. ✨

So, my friend, Kimi Zero isn’t just an anime; it’s a little vial of happiness. Silly? Perhaps. But it’s a remedy—a dose of peace, joy, and teenage romance. And sometimes, that’s all we need. 🌼🎶

Warning: Spoilers Ahead! Proceed with Caution.

Akame ga Kill, in my humble opinion, stands as a singular work—a daring tapestry woven with threads of darkness and redemption. It dares to tread where others falter, and therein lies its brilliance. 🌟

The author, with a deft hand, paints a canvas of perspectives. Each character, a brushstroke—distinct, purposeful. The Jaegars, our antagonists, emerge from the shadows. Their creed? A twisted justice, a dance with darkness. We may not condone their actions, but we glimpse the fractured mirrors of their souls. Seryuu, her heart scarred by Night Raid’s blade, mirrors Mine’s grief after Sheele’s demise. Different paths, same pain. 🗡️

Death, ... a relentless companion in this anime. Some characters flit across the screen, mere fireflies in the night. Their stories truncated, their impact profound. Sheele’s and Chelsea’s deaths—their echoes still reverberate within me. 🕊️

Now, let’s spotlight our trio of protagonists:

Akame: The very name etched in the anime’s title. Yet, she remains an enigma. Her motivations, veiled in shadows, beg for illumination. Why does she fight? What ghosts haunt her? We yearn for her backstory, her evolution. For now, she’s a katana unsheathed, waiting for her moment. 🌙
Tatsumi: The true heartbeat of our tale. His past, laid bare, tugs at our empathy. We feel his transformation—the boy who dreamed, now a soldier with blood-soaked hands. His journey is etched in ink, his pain palpable. 🗡️
Esdeath: Ah, the ice queen. Complex, beguiling. Her love for Tatsumi defies logic, transcending villainy. She vowed not to change for him, yet life’s currents swept her away. She’s no caricature; she’s human. Her heart, a battlefield where love and cruelty duel. ❄️
But—yes, there’s a “but”—her motivation falters. To kill, for the sheer thrill of it? A frail foundation, indeed. Yet, perhaps that’s the tragedy—the void within her, masked by icy resolve. 🌪️

In the shadows of blades, where destinies clash, Akame ga Kill thrives. It’s not just an anime; it’s a mirror reflecting our own frailties, our battles for purpose. So, my fellow traveler, embrace the darkness, savor the complexity, and let the steel sing. 🌑🎶

Dive in, let the darkness embrace you, and savor this unique experience. 🌠✨

Personally, I absolutely loved Bocchi. It does have a few minor flaws, but they’re so insignificant that it’s almost as if they don’t exist. I’d say this anime has the best music (especially for rock enthusiasts!). Speaking of Gotoh, I really enjoyed seeing the world through her perspective. For introverts, it feels a bit like that—being afraid of saying the wrong thing and facing judgment. I’ve changed, and throughout the anime, Bocchi has also evolved. I can’t wait to see what else she’ll discover about herself. All the other girls are pretty cool too. Overall, it’s no wonder the anime has such a high rating. ... I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a good laugh and some great music. 🎵🌟

Sono bisque doll is a romantic comedy anime. It's the second anime of this genre that I've watched and it's the first that really made me laugh. I have positives and negatives.

On the negative side, it once again explores the relationship between a shy young man, who meets the popular girl, to be honest, I found Gojo-Kun to be quite uninteresting, he doesn't evolve as a character (we only get to know him superficially) and ends my opinion in the same way it started.

On the positive side we have Kitagawa-san, she shows that she has several problems and is very ... unique in her personality, when the anime turns to her perspective I think it creates a conflict that leaves me as embarrassed as she is hahah. Another thing about her, her actions are spontaneous and although she is a little shameless, she doesn't do anything wrong, it's her way and just when she notices and blushes, she gets a good laugh from us viewers. Gojo, on the other hand, always sees things in a sexualized way, which bothers me. Disregarding that, it's a great romance anime for those who don't have a problem with sexual appeals, as this is present in the anime from the beginning. It has a good plot and as I said before I laughed a lot, and I felt embarrassed too, with that in mind I definitely recommend it!

I think the feeling of disappointment made me give this anime a 1. To begin with, there will be no spoilers in this review, but the feeling is worse than that of Game of Thrones, the construction of the characters grew with each season and even with their difficulties, we viewers could understand, even when catastrophic and totally unethical decisions are made. We, although we didn't agree, understood. From the penultimate and final season onwards, the creator of the work begins to play between the lines of the characters' motivations, with their decisions becoming increasingly confusing and inconsistent with what was presented before. This is ... definitely the part that frustrates me, as if he didn't even know the characters themselves. Finally, I can't recommend anyone to watch this, it's a great journey that deteriorates more and more, the animation is 10, but it takes a complete backseat in an anime where the focus has always been the story, the despair caused by not being predictable at all. Finally, to end this review, I think the most incredible thing is that the anime manages to literally throw itself into the trash in the credits, and I think they are the perfect demonstration of what not to do in a work, the inconsistency is all evident there, it's very sad because it was one of my favorite animes, and unfortunately it ended the way it did.
