One anime… one generation’s vibe.

That’s how I’d sum up The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You. This show is unhinged in the best way. Every ep throws your morals and principles into a blender—but it’s all for love, the real-deal, heart-pounding kind.

That’s the core of 100 Girlfriends. It’s the anime that drops the truth bomb: if someone’s truly obsessed with you, their mind’s gonna wander to some spicy places. Season 2 kicked off way too sappy—had me sweating, thinking it ditched the edge for rom-com fluff.

Boy, was I off! Episode 4 brings back the chaos ... full throttle. But here’s the clutch move of this season: no matter how wild things get, it’s hilarious, heartfelt, and all about love. Let’s be real—when you’re head-over-heels, don’t you get a little freaky in your head?

100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You is a comedy banger that pushes your “right vs. wrong” meter to the max with its steamy, cheeky, and downright clever twists.

No question—this gem’s a generation-defining masterpiece!

Dear fellow reader, let me throw you into a wild hypothetical scenario.

Picture this: you stumble upon the ultimate cure for cancer. Sounds epic, right? Now imagine pouring your heart into it, but no one gives you the time of day. The cure stays hidden, cancer keeps winning, and you’re just… stuck. How would that hit you?

That’s my vibe with Momentary Lily. Hands down, it’s the most slept-on gem of the Winter 2025 season. This anime yeets you into a post-apocalyptic rollercoaster where humanity’s teetering on the edge (or maybe already toast) thanks to some freaky, unnegotiable creatures. Your mission as a ... viewer? Figure out what’s going down.

Each episode levels up harder than the last. You’ll be cooking up a storm of theories to crack the mystery, only tenuor every mind-blowing ep to smash them to bits. The finale? Total brain-fry territory—leaving you with a gazillion questions but wrapping up with pure class.

Momentary Lily is the undisputed GOAT of Winter 2025. Sadly, the woke hate train derailed it over some ecchi and fanservice spice, robbing too many fans of this banger. And here’s the kicker: who says ecchi can’t flex a killer story?

Momentary Lily proves you can have steamy fanservice and a gripping plot that slaps. Too bad the woke mob caught on and tried to bury it so no one would clock its brilliance.

Don’t let the haters gatekeep you—dive into this masterpiece and stan it hard!

2.5 Dimensional Seduction arrived with much anticipation, having been teased for months before its release. The creators took a bold step by announcing a 24-episode first season, setting expectations sky-high. Did it deliver? In short, it exceeded them.

While series like Attack on Titan or Demon Slayer dominate with intense, action-driven emotions, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction takes a refreshing approach. It plays with feelings rather than overwhelming them, crafting a rich tapestry of social issues and personal growth. The protagonist’s initial distrust of “3D girls” and Ririsa’s insecurities about cosplay are just the beginning. Each character is meticulously developed, facing unique challenges that make their journeys relatable ... and deeply moving. The final two episodes, in particular, push emotional boundaries, leaving a lasting impact.

For anime fans, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction is a love letter to otaku culture. It celebrates fandom in a way that’s both fun and intelligent, reminiscent of the charm found in Akiba's Trip. The series is a visual and emotional feast, with beautifully designed characters whose personalities are as captivating as their backstories. It explores the pride of being an otaku while delivering a story that’s both entertaining and thought-provoking.

In summary, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction is a must-watch. It blends otaku pride, stunning visuals, and characters with real depth.

THE GOOD: No filler characters—each one has a profound story to tell.

THE BAD: The fan service could have been more daring, but it’s a minor flaw.

IT'S A PROUD: To be a anime fan and a testament to the culture.

As an ecchi anime fan, Beheneko caught my eye when it was announced. The promise of charming girls paired with a medieval epic infused with J.R.R. Tolkien-esque flair had me hooked from the start. I pictured a world of grand battles, deep lore, and playful fan service—everything I crave in a series like this.

When 2025 rolled in, Beheneko arrived, and I was ready to dive in. Is it bad? Not quite. Is it good? I wouldn’t say that either. It’s like rooting for a sports team tipped to win the championship, only to see them fizzle out in the playoffs. The potential was there—Aria’s quest, ... Tama’s mysterious power, a kingdom teetering on ruin—but it never ignited. The narrative stumbled, feeling flat and uninspired. By episode 5, I could’ve walked away without a second thought.

The characters intrigued me at first. Aria’s determination and the quirky harem had charm, while the world hinted at a rich history of ancient relics and shadowy foes. Yet, the storytelling failed to capitalize on this foundation. It dragged, lacking the excitement to pull me in, leaving epic battles—like the demon lord clash in the finale—as rare bursts in a sea of mediocrity.

The fan service? Average at best. There were moments—Tama’s transformations, a few playful scenes—but nothing memorable or applause-worthy. For an ecchi fan, it barely scratched the itch.

It pains me to say Beheneko is an anime that “could have been.” It’s not terrible, but it fades into the attic of forgettable series, lost among countless others that never rose above the crowd. The finale was decent, yet it couldn’t salvage the unfulfilled promise.

'The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess' was totally an unexpected gem for me. The story takes us on a wild ride through this bizarre world where death is just a punchline, but the battles for power and honor? Dude, they're legit intense.

Komari, our main gal, she's like this pampered vampire with a heart of gold and these uncontrollable natural powers, ya know?

The narration style is like the author's letting you in on all the secrets. We know stuff Komari and her crew don't, which just amps up the tension as the story unfolds.

What makes this anime so dope is how it blends top-notch comedy ... with some gnarly violence. At first glance, you'd think it's just another light-hearted comedy, but then the characters start to grow on you, becoming more mature. You end up not just feeling for them but also getting hyped by all the action.

The downside? The story feels kinda all over the place. In just 12 episodes, it's like you get three mini-seasons 'cause every four episodes there's a new problem, climax, and resolution. It makes it seem like it's a simple tale when in fact, the characters have some deep layers.

'The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess' mixes ecchi, yuri, humor, and gore. What could possibly go wrong with a combo like that?

The Good: Awesome humor and deep character personalities.

The Bad: A short series with too many mini-stories.

IF I EVER HAVE A DAUGTER I want her to be as spoiled as Komari.

I'm a huge fan of ecchi anime, yet I had the audacity to never have watched To Love Ru. After many, many years of delay, I decided to watch it, and this great journey has finally come to an end.

I must admit I had a lot of preconceived notions. As I mentioned, I'm an ecchi fan, and therefore, I'm very demanding. I hate it when they belittle my favorite genre, saying it's just fanservice with no story. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ecchi is a genre full of great stories with immortal characters and extraordinary adventures.

That's why it bothers me when some authors ... truly forget the plot and misuse the genre's name. Honestly, when I read the synopsis of To Love Ru, I thought it was one of those types of anime, so I refused to watch it.

I was very wrong. I should have known from the sheer number of episodes and OVAs.

To Love Ru isn't an anime with a complex story or electrifying plot twists. Rather, it's a psychological anime that plays with the emotions, feelings, and desires of its characters.

To Love Ru is a psychological anime, disguised as comedy, presenting desires of love (like all the girls have for Rito), forbidden desires (infidelity, incest, among other perversions), friendship (the great devotion among them), and a complex universe (stories that could well be spinoffs or prequels in the style of Star Wars, complex alien cultures, etc.).

In To Love Ru, everyone has a forbidden desire they try to justify. There's depth in each character's backstory, which is revealed slowly, leaving loose ends for potential continuations.

It's surprising how there's a huge cast of female characters (as in any harem), and all receive attention, a story, and a personality worthy of them.

All this is told through a comedy anime, easy to understand but for mature audiences only.

It's an anime that plays with the viewer's moral principles because of the many perversions it discusses. But everything, being presented in a digestible manner, makes you stop judging and start enjoying.

I can't help but recommend this great anime. A grand saga. A true work of art in anime. That's why it's a classic.

THE GOOD: Handling of deep psychological plots under the guise of a light comedy anime.

THE BAD: Rito's indecisiveness always bothered me. All characters mature from the first episode to the end, but he, although he changes, it's very little.

THE AMAZING: It's the anime that best manages many characters while preserving the essence of each one. I bid a sad farewell to Princess Momo, Golden Darkness, Mea, Mikan, Lala, Kotegawa, and so many others who will always remain in my heart as a fan.

I admit it, my expectations for the second season of Nier: Automata were pretty low.

I really love the video game, so when the first season of the anime was announced, I got really excited. Unfortunately, the first season was a disappointment. The story was dull, convoluted, and offered zero motivation to keep watching. It was forgettable.

Obviously, being a fan of the game, I decided to give the second season a shot. I can say that almost all the mistakes from the first season were corrected.

The shift in storytelling is more than evident. It seems they understood that they weren't developing a video game (where the ... audience is the active protagonist) and this time, they crafted a narrative where the audience is truly a spectator.

The development in the second season is excellent. The great tragedy that is the story of Nier: Automata is presented with mastery, and above all, with deep emotion in the characters' personalities.

Unlike the first season, which tried to confuse the viewer under the pretense of encouraging further exploration (which is impossible since it's not a video game but an anime), here the entire narrative arc is presented elegantly, psychologically, but most importantly, in an exciting and logical manner.

Now, we finally have a great anime that does justice to the story of a classic video game. It's ready to be enjoyed, whether or not you've played the game.

It's unfortunate that many might avoid Nier because of how poorly the first season was handled. But I'm pleased that in the end, we got something worthy of this immortal saga.

I was deeply disappointed with the second season of The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses.

Admittedly, the first season wasn't anything special either. However, after a decade of the 2010s where many great stories didn't get a second season, seeing that The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses was getting a continuation sparked my curiosity. The end of the first season had left the door slightly ajar, hinting at significant revelations to come.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Firstly, there's a clear lack of imagination from the author. He keeps repeating the same formula with every girl in the story: they have a relative they haven't spoken to ... in a while, and through Hayato, they reconnect. It's the same thing over and over.

Moreover, the harem concept is presented in a very dull way. I mean, it's a harem anime, so we all know the girls are going to fall for the protagonist. While Hayato has the credentials to attract them (which is a plus), the girls' expressions of affection are meant to be comedic but come off as absurd. Even more ridiculous is how Hayato supposedly maintains control by rejecting the girls. Unlike other anime where the protagonist tries to be polite, here it seems like Hayato genuinely dislikes the interaction, taking it to an extent that, at least for me (a die-hard harem anime fan), was quite irritating.

What's most disappointing is that, as I mentioned, the first season suggested a narrative that would resolve its cliffhangers. But it didn't. By the end, none of the issues from the first season are addressed, as if the setup was irrelevant. Instead, the focus shifts to exploring the characters' backstories.

Honestly, I'm not hoping for a third season, and if there were one, I'd think twice before watching it.

The Good: The fanservice has increased, and for an ecchi anime, that's a positive.

The Bad: Hayato's purity comes across as annoying and irrational.

Unexplained: The story introduces a group of girls who are supposed to be rivals to the goddesses of the Terrace Café. However, their presence feels unnecessary. If they hadn't appeared, the story wouldn't have changed at all.

My journey to discover this classic anime continues, and this time I've been blown away.

I admit that while I enjoyed Motto To Love Ru a lot, I felt like there wasn't much left to the story. I wondered, "How could they justify a third season that's split into two parts and even has OVAs?"...

The truth is, To Love Ru Darkness has really surprised me. Suddenly, the story undergoes a very interesting maturation process. And you notice it from the opening where Momo is introduced as the main character.

To Love Ru Darkness marks a significant turning point in the story. Firstly, it delves deeper into the ... dark history of some characters, exploring their feelings and emotions.

Secondly, and I would say more importantly, here we start to see how the plot, not only plays with erotic comedy moments, but also goes beyond, playing with fanservice and forbidden sex fantasies. I don't want to spoil too much, but the way the author plays with "forbidden love" is elegant, spectacular, and fun.

At this point, I can say that I understand why the To Love Ru saga is a classic. And it's not just a silly ecchi comedy. To Love Ru plays with the viewers' emotions by presenting a vast array of perverse eroticism disguised as silly ecchi. This makes To Love Ru an incredibly addictive and fun work that truly elevates you to another level.

Finally, I want to highlight the personality of Momo Deviluke, who at this point has become one of my favorite anime characters of all time.

Now, on to the second part of this third season!

THE GOOD. Clearly the characters have matured and the perspective of what is good or bad begins to fade in this third season

THE BAD. Rito seems to be the only character who doesn't mature

I AM IN LOVE... Momo Deviluke is a cool girl!

When I started Mysterious Disappearances, I thought, “Wow, a story with characters who are neither good nor bad. Intriguing mysteries to solve and cute girls. What could go wrong?”

The answer was: almost everything.

Don’t get me wrong, Mysterious Disappearances is not a bad anime.

Mysterious Disappearances tells the story of two siblings who are part of a magical world trapped in our world, whose only hope to return to their world is to do “favors” for a ticket seller of a magical train. The way to do favors is by solving mysteries and supernatural events based on Asian urban legends.

One thing I really highlight about this anime ... is its characters. They are all great and well-constructed. And the best part: there are no good people. Here, everyone is human. Humans with qualities, flaws, and vices. Without a doubt, you fall in love with and feel the soul of each of the characters the story focuses on.

What went wrong? The narrative. Everything is too slow, and the author wastes too much time. Literally, there are about three episodes where absolutely nothing progresses. The author forgets that this is a mystery story and it feels like we are watching a “Slice of Life” anime.

In the end, when the author realizes that too much time has been wasted, there is a super forced closure in the last episodes that leaves the story tasteless.

The waste of time is so great, and the closure so abrupt, that one cannot help but feel that they have wasted their time watching this story.

It’s unfortunate. Episode 1 excites anyone, but by episode 4, you are already thinking about what the next anime to watch will be.

THE GOOD. Extraordinary characters with incredible personalities. Personally, I loved Oto Adashino.

THE BAD. A mediocre narrative lowered the quality of this work.

THERE WILL BE no more Otto for anyone in anime version :(
