The most generic rom com to rom com, but with a slight twist. I guess that's all that's needed to make it interesting.
Guy who's an otaku, and is "lazy" but actually gets shit done so the girls in his life are attracted to him? Check.
School beauty who hates everyone except the main guy? Check.
Elements of harem in the show? Check.
Now, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, generic shows can still be well written/enjoyable, and the show is pretty enjoyable, with it looking amazing, and being animated rather well for a rom com like this, but honestly, it's the kind of show people have seen before,
...
and if you're tired of the formula, this show won't change your mind.
The element of Alya hiding her feelings in russian is okay, I'm not a native russian speaker, so I have no idea if she's absolutely butchering the russian, but what I can say is that it's not as funny as the show makes it out to be. I enjoy a lot of the other aspects, like how honest the main character is that reminds me of Sakuta from Bunny girl senpai, but he's barely? the focus, and I don't like how they try to make them all complex with this "tragic backstory" that follows a lot of main characters, instead of flushing them out and making their dynamics interesting. The MC at least manages to have somewhat interesting interactions with those around him, and him secretly knowing russian is somewhat interesting, but yeah, I think it's just a standard school rom com with a twist. But, like I said, that's all it needed to make it interesting to me.

If I were to sum up this anime, it is, "Imagine if we saw Cinderella having a happy ending."
This is a gross simplification of this anime, and yet it captures the essence of what this anime is.
Miyo is a girl who's abused, both mentally and physically, by the step sister who looks down at her, along with a step mother who treats her like trash, hence the Cinderella parallels. But we see not only how her mental state is, we also explore that her happiness just doesn't come back immediately. She still is developing from her traumas, she still has nightmares. She's lost everything since
...
her mother died, and her father stopped caring for her when he remarried. And man, by episode 4, I felt so unbelievably happy that, even if she's not fully okay, she's on the path to recovery.
Miyo is an abused young girl who constantly faces issues, so to see her on the path to overcoming her traumas and with episode 6, being able to stand up against the women who abused her all her life, it was immensely satisfying.
So far, my only critique, at least till episode 5, is that the magic system seemed forced into the story, but with episode 6, it feels far more entrenched into the story than I initially thought. So that criticism will go away as time goes on, more than likely.
Anyways, 9/10 anime, would recommend.

Why did people hate the ending of Stone Ocean?
To put this in context, Part 6 was one of the most hated parts of Jojo in the west, and people consistently said how they hated Jolyne and others in this part, or "Araki forgot". For me, to those people who said that, I strongly disagree. In fact, I'd say, if the production was on the level of Part 5, and had more consistency, it would have been a 10/10.
Jolyne, Emporio, Ernes, Anasui, Weather Report, all of them are fantastic in this part, and seeing the ending of it was, as an anime only, just made me
...
see a part of jojo that I hadn't seen before. Sure, there were good moments, but part 6 really felt like it was the peak of the anime. I'll not delve into spoilers, but this is just extremely good in every metric. The bizarreness of Jojo, while still there, still leaves places for sorrowful moments, ones that genuinely hit hard.
I'm not sure exactly how the series will go from here, but at least here, I can see how great Jojo is, and I'm excited to see more as time goes on, when part 7 comes out. This was peak Jojo.

Man, this movie was great.
Now, obviously there's going to be salty AF people who was angry about their waifu not winning, but to be honest, even as a manga reader who once was for one of the losing girls, I was extremely satisfied by the ending, and how it ended all of the girls perfectly, with them all being given ample screen time. They really played around with the pacing, but in a way that made sense, and I actually felt like this is, by far, above the manga.
I thought the pacing for the movie would have felt rushed AF, since they went from
...
12 episodes covering 32 chapters in the first season, to 54 chapters in the second season, to 35 chapters in just the final movie, which, length wise, is the equivalent of less than 6 episodes. However, that wasn't the case. The series composer, the guy who basically makes sure the pacing and dialogue is solidified, managed to not just adapt every major moment of the series, it also managed to do it while adding more content that made the ending from an 8 out of 10 movie to a 9. The humor of it, despite me remembering reading it, also was made really well by the voice actors, bless them all, who delivered on the production incredibly well. The movie itself had meh production values, but that's sort of to be expected. Art direction was solid though, and same with composite, really made up for the stillness of the film overall.
Watching all of those events unfold, I forgot why so many people hated the ending, even if their girl didn't win. It was so satisfying to see the girl who did win finally get Futaro, and seeing the wedding, where this is spoilerless, and having to have Futaro guess between the girls just really made me laugh, even as someone who was decently sad about the girl I was rooting for losing.
Anyways, man, I'm sad that this is the end of the show, and series, but I'm glad it had such a fantastic, satisfying conclusion.

If you are caught up to season 3 part 2, I will probably not be spoiling anything except character names and their personalities.
I've only joined the attack on titan fandkm back in... 2019? Around January of 2019. I watched AOT dubbed, and rushed through the show, to season 3 part 1.
Now, I know, I know. The dubbed for aot isn't that great. But I was a different person back then, and I still think it's a masterpiece, and am watching it subbed now.
Back in 2019, I distinctly remember, when I was talking about Attack with someone who liked season 1, I asked them why
...
did the Armoured and colossal Titan break the walls, when I was still on season 1, and they said it was for fun.
They haven't watched the show in over half a decade. So they have no idea what is happening now.
Renier... He's an amazing character. Someone I used to hate, for killing his people, was someone I now felt bad for. He just wanted to be a hero to humanity. He's the complete opposite of Eren, honestly. Eren wanted revenge. But Renier, he wanted recognition and love. It made me think, in comparison, how much of an easier life Eren had compared to Renier. Renier's father was a deadbeat, who hated Renier, and wanted nothing to do with him. Eren, however, had a loving mother and father, and they loved him up until their deaths.
Gabi... She's a lot like Eren. She's bratty, arrogant, angry, tiring, etc. Just like Eren was. The difference is the circumstances. I believe, if she was Carla's child, and was raised within the walls, she would turn out exactly like Eren.
Falco, he's an amazing character. He knows the truth, unlike Gabi, and knows that Marley fully deserves what came to it. However, at the same time, he is saddened by everything that is happening to everyone, and will do what it takes to keep her alive. He kind of reminds me of Armin. He's a genuinely good person, and luckily for him, his hands haven't been tainted by the blood of war. He wouldn't have people's blood on his hands.
Now, obviously, I can't go into all these characters and say that this is a masterpiece just based on the characters alone. No, everything about this season is masterfully done.
I have seen many complaints about how "badly animated" attack on titan is. Honestly, they should see episode 4 of attack on titan season 1. I've watched season 1... 7 times to try to find the ending? It was clear that Wit was running out of time, and needed a massive overhaul for their blue ray release.
However, while there are certainly tweaks they could make for the blue ray release for attack on titan season 4, Mappa has done way better then I ever thought they would. The rotoscopping was masterfully done, and Udo in episode 2 looked like he was rapping, and it looked amazing. It's not Ufotable good, obviously, but then again, ufotable had over a year to make demon slayer, and most of their other series'. Mappa had 6 months to make 16 episodes. Although their are some questionable usages of cgi at times, my jaw was dropping with episode 6, to the point where I didn't even care. Episode 7 was amazingly animated, and really gets you to feel the horror of attack on titan. Episode 8... Amazingly done. Especially at the end.
Osts and sound design are another strong point for the series, even with the weird ass names. Sorry, Sawano, but stop punching your keyboard for the names of your songs. In all seriousness, the osts are top tier. Episode one, and that scream... I'd never felt more enraged then I did at a fictional character. The music in episode 2... Was soft, comforting, and felt... Almost nostalgic. Episode 3 calls back to the past, and we see the story through new eyes, but with the same songs we saw. Episode 4... Is relaxing, and the amazing music that plays creates a comfortable atmosphere.
One thing I want to mention, is that, somehow, with Mappa, I feel more hungry watching episode 4 of attack on titan season 4, then when I watch the entirety of food wars, which is saying something, since it has literal food within the name. Because there is an atmosphere around the food. Like eating pizza, getting sauce all over your face, laughing, getting ice cream for the first time in your life, etc. It's a very soothing atmosphere. But, by the end of the episode, you could tell, as the ending credits come closer and closer, that peace wasn't permanent, and that's exactly what happened.
Episode 5 was the episode that really detailed what happened with this world, while keeping the three sides to every story that the author of the series, Hajime Isayama, has made clear. There is the Ally's story, the enemy's story, and then, the truth. Propaganda perpetuated by both sides exist to paint the other side as the most evil, but it's usually not that simple. So, when Wily pulled back the curtain, in a metaphorical sense, people are shocked. Eldians and marleyans alike. Which climaxes when 2lives, not 2volt, plays. Honestly, I used to think that YOUSEEBIGGIRL, Renier and Bertholdt's theme, would work better, but then I realized it involved playing over the entire speech, which would take away from the things Wily was saying, and agreed that 2lives was probably the best choice they could have made.
Honestly, this series deserves the praise it gets. Love the series. Don't get why their is 10,000 1 out of 10s, because, in all honesty, this is as close as it gets to a perfect series.
