Tl;dr at the end for the people who can't read 👍
And this is a no spoiler review so woohoo !!
It's fucking two in the morning as I'm writing this (I can't believe this paragraph I wrote at 2 am made it to the final draft HAHA and yes I treat my anime reviews like they're my school paper, except I can add these parentheses and no one can get mad at me for it MUAHAHAHA anyways) and I had just finished watching the first episode of this grand final season. I was staying up so late since my song was just about to release and
...
I suddenly remembered "OH SHIET, FINAL SEASON TITAN FIGHTING ANIME MST WATCH NOW" and I'm happy I remembered, because tonight (or tomorning;idfk) I've just been reminded of why Shingeki no Kyojin was such a remarkable franchise. The entire series is different, set apart from other anime and it's quite literally perfect. Attack on Titan sends a different level of chills on your body; I felt my leg hair rise up screaming sasageyo as Eren punched big man Reiner on the face. Everything about Attack on Titan, from the complex writing of the plot to the amazing characters-- to the grand soundtrack and awestruck-beautiful animation-- is without flaw.
I'm not that big of an Attack on Titan Fan and I didn't even know this final season was coming out today, at January ten, till two days ago. I've watched nothing from Attack on Titan ever since the first part of season four; I have seen some OVA's, but nonetheless my brain is still very fresh from Attack on Titan and watching this again after so long really surprised me, because it was so much better than what I expected.
I want to start with more technical stuff such as production then we can move onto the characters and writing :D
I just wanna say, MAPPA absolutely killed it and did an amazing job for making this final season. The visuals and soundtrack was just perfect. Production-wise I would say, it's pretty good. You can see the CGI at most times, LMAO, but I'm not really complaining. I wanna emphasize the soundtrack and the art of each and every episode of this new final season is literally spot-on. The soundtrack and art for this final season is just perfectly apt in context with the story. They perfectly set the mood of each and every episode for this dark and ultimate final season. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SOUNDTRACK. BRO, THE OPENING IS FIRE. I'm not really a big fan of heavy metal (or whatever I don't really know this genre), but Rumbling is very fitting for this series and especially for this final season. As much as the soundtrack help set the mood for this season, the art also does a great job of portraying all the characters and the atmosphere. Especially during the first few episodes, you can really see how dark and fucked up this universe tatakae boy and friends live in particular is. I love the change of the art style for the characters too with MAPPA being the new studio in charge. I don't know how to explain it, but as much as quality is important (which MAPPA also nailed) the context of the art and how it portrays is also important (not me talking like I know shit about art) and I really believe MAPPA did an amazing job here.
Now for the writing portion. 👀
Attack on Titan's plot is truly a work of art. It's chaotic yet so elegant. Straightforward, but so complex. Ugly, yet so beautiful. Shingeki no Kyojin was painted in an art form. From start to finish, it was a masterpiece. I honestly don't know how to say this without sounding so overly cliche. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE CHARACTERS. They are the true authors of the plot.
The thing about Shingeki No Kyojin is that every character has their own will, own emotions, own personalities, and own life, yet collectively, they make up the show we wait every monday (or sunday if you're from anywhere else that isn't asia or australia 🤢)to watch, that's the beauty of Attack On Titan's characters. It's not the story of Eren Jaeger, but it's the story of Eldia, Marley, and the people in them with their fucked up lives. I don't know how to say this without sounding cliche. I don't know okay, but everyone just seem so human and the plot just feel so natural yet so artificially complex. I love how AOT is written because the plot isn't just about the main character. If anything, everyone is the main character. Everyone contributes to the plot equally as most of the other characters. And can we just appreciate the fact that AOT doesn't make filler episodes just for a single character? I'm pretty sure 70% of the episodes of Naruto and other shounen anime is just about how some side-character's mom died and how sad their life is until they met the main character; PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. Even without filler episodes or ova's, I feel like I know the all the characters personally. Attack On Titan presents us the plot, while also introducing us the characters and letting us get to know them. That is why there are no need for shitty fillers and dumbass ova's (EXCEPT FOR LOST GIRLS AND THE LEVI ONE; THEY ARE SUPERIOR).
This final season was perfect because not only did it wrap up the story it also gave us insight on how it all began. I loved the names of the first episode and the 80th I believe. It just shows how genius Shingeki No Kyojin was written. In Attack On Titan, everything really is just another plot point, HAHAHAHA.
So, yes.
That's all I have to say. I have a paper due soon and I needa produce this song or I won't have bred to eat so imma just dip. Goodbye, SKRRRRRT *weird naruto handsigns* *two fingers on forehead preparing for transmission* *constant electricity thingies go around me* and POOF I disappear.
Tl;dr
Story: 10 so fucking gud no question bout that
Art: 9 poggers, mappa did great esp for this last season
Sound: 9 also poggers, everything sounded coolio and bRo IMO RUMBLING BEST OP
Character: 10 they all cool ok, they all seem chill id want them to be my friends/j ok but seriously every character is written very well and theyre all very well developed, even gabi who's only been here for like a fraction of the show, they all have actual emotion and seem like real human beings unlike every single isekai character out there (that isn't mushoku)
Enjoyment: 10 i had fun watching 👍
Overall: 10 and all you fullmetal archemist brotherhood simps always forget to add the zero at the end yall messing the overall score for aot :')
I make notes when i watch anime. These are just random thoughts I don't know how to write them in the review so yes.
-bro that part with zeke and grisha really hit me, that was so sad
-this final season was perfect because not only did it wrap up the story it also gave us insight on what began it (they showed us how grisha killed the royal family and among that other stuff)
-aside from aot being super well made, I CANT EMPHASIZE ENOUGHHOW EPIC THE EPISODES ARE 😭😭😭😭
-every character is going thru depression and i love how theyre not forcing it out by making individual eps / making it painfully obvious or anything and you can tell just by a few scenes or lines and youreally get to know tbe characgees

(You can skip the first two paragraphs if you wanna get straight to the actual review lmfao)
(Also, there is a tl;dr section at the end for those too lazy to read)
I can honestly say I'm pretty harsh when it comes to rating anime (I think?). I gave Spirited Away by Ghibli Studios a four out of ten :D. I take into account every minute detail whilst also not forgetting to enjoy the anime; some people get overly obsessed with finding the flaws of an anime they forget the reason why they even started watching anime (unless their reason for watching is to point out all
...
the flaws which is stupid, wtf; get a life). A good anime can be determined with the five criteria, but what makes an anime a ten out of ten... CAN ALSO BE DETERMINED WITH THE FIVE CRITERIA? BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. The point is giving an anime a ten out of ten is something you shouldn't do to a Ghibli movie- I MEAN to a "good" anime, but it should be given to animes that are truly special.
(Before you start hiring contractors to kill me because I offended the oh-so-great ghibli movies, I don't hate ghibli movies. It's just it's very overrated and I'm just tired with my only two friends talking to me about it)
**Minor Spoilers Ahead!!** I suggest you skip this section if you want absolutely zero knowledge about the anime before watching.
Story - 8
The story is pretty straightforward.
We're given a very normal high school with very normal students, one of them being Komi, the popular girl everyone worships (literally), and Tadano. He's just Tadano. Nothing special about him. Komi, although being unbelievably popular among literally everyone, all ages, all genders, suffers from a communication disorder. Her communication disorder is presented in a way where it's funny and cute which is something I don't know what to feel about, since I know people who suffer from a communication disorder, but that information is not why you're here; MOVING ON. Tadano SOMEHOW befriends Goddess Almighty Komi and finds out about her disorder-- TADANO WAS KOMI'S FIRST FRIEND UWU ITS SO CUTE I CAN'T-- and decided to help the Sovereign Goddess Komi by helping her with her goal of one hundred friends.
As I said, the story is pretty straightforward and simple, but the execution and the characters is what made this a masterpiece.
Art - 10
How "good" a piece of art is doesn't only depend on its quality and how difficult it was to make, but on how much it accomplished it's goal and how much it portrays its message. I'm not saying the quality of Komi Can't Communicate is not good; in fact, it's pretty amazing, but I just want to emphasize what makes this a ten.
**I'm in a dilemma of whether I should my comment on character designs in the art section, which is this one, since it's technically part of art, LOL, or in the character section since we're talking about characters-- WHATEVER**
Character design is the first thing people will see of your character (Unless you know; they're not shown and they're just a narrator or maybe you're writing a book- whatever-). Character design is very important because it affects the impression the viewer gets from them. You wouldn't want your shy and humble character to be a muscular man with an eye patch. Although that wasn't the best example, I hope you understand that character design should reflect what type of character they are and for Komi Can't Communicate, even though the character design is pretty simple, it's spot-on.
I already said this, but the quality of the animation is pretty solid.
The comedic factor too of Komi Can't Communicate's animation its perfect. IT'S HARD TO PUT IN WORDS, BUT TRUST ME THE ANIMATION IS PERFECT; the animation makes funny scenes even more funi trust me.
There's really nothing much to say about the art. This is the case for most slice of life anime since there's no big dragon, or super saiyan transformation, or any big explosions to animate so yeah.
That's funny because there's actually a scene where Najimi transforms into a saiyan LOL.
Moving on.
WAIT. I ALMOST FORGOT. THE OPENING AND ENDINGS. They are also perfection. Just thought I needed to share that. The art style for the opening looked really pretty. It reminded me of Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop.
I don't like talking about animation or art since I'm not an artist or anything really.
ANYWAY
Sound - 10
STARTING WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR OF SCORING SOUND, OPENINGS AND ENDINGS. I loved both the opening and the ending, especially the opening. I often watch anime while doing chores or doing homework and watching anime is pretty distracting LOL. So usually when the opening or ending plays, I am basically given a minute or two break from watching anime since I don't pay as much attention to them, BUT NO; I LITERALLY DON'T STOP WATCHING. I WATCH THROUGH ALL THE OPENINGS AND ENDINGS. THIS IS WHY I NEVER GET MY HOMEWORK DONE. The opening is really catchy and it's (for me) another perfect anime opening; you can't prove it otherwise.
Let's not forget the ost's. The music is amazing and they accurately set the mood for the scene. The soundtrack is fifty percent of the things that make a scene special and memorable or sometimes even ninety percent. Sometimes people watch that scene over and over again just for that song LMAO *coughs* S p a r k l e f r o m K i m i N o N a W a *coughs*. It also helps it even more enjoyable especially since they switch from mood to mood so quickly and it's just so funny; what can I say? LIKE AT ONE MOMENT, SOMEONES TRYNA KILL SOMEONE AND SCARY MUSIC IS PLAYING THEN SECONDS LATER THE CUTE MUSIC IS PLAYING AND NOW EVERYONE'S FRIENDS AGAIN.
All the fx and voice acting is pretty good too.
Finally we get to the good stuff, characters and ENJOYMENT.
Character - 10
Aside from the fact that Komi is so hot and cute and uwu she's the best, all the other characters are cool too.. I guess... I'm kidding. ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE SO LOVABLE. Aside from all the characters being so relatable, especially the green haired girl pleading to be Komi's dog, yes so relatable, they all feel like real people, atleast Tadano, Najami, and Komi are. They're the type of people I'd want in my friend group.
I'm glad that even though some of them can get repetitive, they're not one-dimensioned. They're all pretty well written and they have unique personalities.
Some of the characters are pretty absurd and just plain crazy, but this is a comedy slice of life anime so that's a good thing, lmao.
Let me just say that Komi and Tadano interactions are so cute. In a way they're really relatable. I remember that scene at Komi's room when Komi and Tadano literally did nothing for fifteen minutes. IT'S CUTE AND FUNNY OK. Leave me alone.
Also I love how Komi is obviously downbad for Tadano and how Tadano is obviously a simp for Komi, but since they're both so introverted and they both find it hard to completely express themselves, THEY JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, HAHA.
I can kinda relate to Tadano lmao since my girlfriend is really, really, really introverted so when it comes to any social interaction, I'm the only one talking, LMAO.
I also find it very wholesome since, maybe not for everyone, but for some people, friends are really hard to get. I understand if you don't give a shit, but I find Komi's quest of one hundred friends and I find the way Tadano and Najimi are trying their best to help her as really heartwarming and wholesome.
Enjoyment - 10
What can I say; I really enjoyed Komi Can't Communicate. This criterion, "Enjoyment", is really subjective so it really depends on the individual, but hear me out. The fact that it's somewhat relatable, IT HAS CUTE CHARACTERS, sometimes even dark humour... AND GODDESS KOMI (I swear I'm not a simp, please, oh my god); what more can you ask. I feel like Komi Can't Communicate's humour leans more for a younger audience, but I feel like it's still good for all ages.
I don't know how to explain, but everything about Komi Can't Communicate just enlightens me, lol. Whether it be Komi just being petrified, shaking wildly in despair or Tadano being tied up and tortured, something about Komi Can't Communicate is just so.. I don't know.. Attractive Lol? Tadano being tied up though and tortured while Najimi mistakingly thinking it was just Tadano being kinky was hilarous.
I also love scenes when there's just awkward silence among the characters. HAHA, I don't know, okay. It's because, as I've said, in a way, we can all relate to it, atleast introverts do and as the introverted child I am, I find it really funny.
I've enjoyed Komi Can't Communicate more than any other anime I've seen. (Maybe it's because I haven't seen enough anime; give me anime recs PLEASE)
tl;dr
Story: 8
Its just good trust me. (Just read my review LMAO)
Art: 10
Consistent high quality on all episodes and what can i say its just good.
Sound: 10
I loved the ops and eds and the osts really fit the mood the scene needed in other words they were perfect. Everything else (the fx, voice acting etc.) Sounded good too
Character: 10
All characters are pretty cute and unforgettable. Some in a way can be relatable too. Their interactions are cute as hell as well omygod.
Enjoyment: 10
This is a slice of life anime. Enjoyment charts go stonks fren this is the only reason ppl watch slice of life, either that or hopeless romantics watch romantic slice of life anime.
Overall: 10
Ofcourse my review is just all based on my own opinion. If you have a different opinion, well then you're obviously wrong, since only my opinion matters and no one gives a shi- I MEAN-- Everyone's opinions matter. If you think Komi Can't Communicate is garbage doo doo, it's okay. Some people just doesn't have the luxury of having such a cultured taste (like I do) and that's alright- I'M SORRY. THE POINT IS I don't want thirty messages in my notification box about how my review and my opinions on your favorite anime is different from yours. So please, understand that this is my personal opinion.
Komi Can't Communicate is a solid ten.

For those to lazy to read just skip ahead to the last paragraph :> (upto "tl;dr", see also " tl;dr pro max" if you're REALLY, REALLY LAZY LMAO)
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, filled with lewd anime girls, highly perverted humor, tsundere female lead, strong and magically overpowered characters, and a NEET wimp as our main hero (basically the only isekai you'll ever need), is actually decent? But wha- why? Even though Jobless Reincarnation is filled with isekai tropes that any regular sane person should consider this anime as "bAD", Jobless reincarnation might actually be the only isekai I'll tolerate AND the only isekai I'll ever consider
...
" good". In fact this anime is amazing (IGNORING THE ISSUE WITH PEDOPHILIA AND RAPE; IF WE CAN JUST APPRECIATE THE ANIME WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT).
Now about the bad things I said about Jobless Reincarnation (lewd anime girls, highly perverted humor, etc.), unlike the first season, Jobless Reincarnation Season two doesn't have any of those (Well there are still some trace of it, but not as much as the first season like). This second season focused more on world building and character development. You can see how intricately designed the universe of Jobless Reincarnation is and how very well written all the characters are during this second season. They also show the depth of our main characters' personalities and (very surprising for an isekai) you can see the development of the characters. You can see them make mistakes and actually learn from them, and what I love about Rudeus is he's pretty much flawed and weak. I don't just mean that talking about pure strength or how good he uses magic, but he grows, NOT JUST AS A MAGICIAN, but as a person which is what I believe the entire isekai genre is supposed to be; main characters get isekaid to a completely different world in hopes of growing and changing for the better, instead some isekais just paint their characters as literal GODS and they just make them PERFECT- ahem- *Kirito*- ahem.
And about the overpowered characters, they're overpowered as in they're just really strong, but not in a sense that they break the show. "Overpowered" definitely doesn't define Rudeus and the other main characters. Unlike most isekais, our hero isn't at all overpowered. In fact, half the time, the story never goes in his way. Jobless reincarnation is, unlike most isekais, is actually interesting, because, unlike most isekais, the plot isn't predictable at all. It's actually exciting. I actually don't know what's coming next and when the main character does prevail, it never seems like it was "all calculated" and the main characters never come off showy or boastful and there's more satisfaction to seeing our main characters prevail because they actually struggled and you can feel their hard work finally pay off. That's the reason famous isekais like Shield Art Online or Rising Of The Sword Hero have bland plots. It's no longer a question of "will they prevail?", but it's a question of "what kind of fuckery and how many plot shields will they use to win?".
The funny thing about this isekai is that IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE AN ISEKAI AT ALL. One of the things that made this isekai not feel like one at all is that it doesn't have video-game-ish elements. There's no leveling up system, there's no defeating dungeon monsters and opening up chests filled with powerful loot, there's no HP or item inventory GUI, instead the anime feels more like a shounen AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
One thing that really hit me is that for a ecchi plus comedy anime, they really know how to make dramatic scenes. The sad scenes are very genuine and really heartfelt. If you'd look at the tags for this anime, it actually includes "dramatic", LOL. I didn't expect this second season to be this dramatic, to be honest. The first season was really comedic and this isn't really an upgrade, but it isn't really a downgrade too? Both seasons are really good at being funny/dramatic.
It should be obvious by now that Jobless Reincarnation Season Two gets a ten out of ten for their "story" criterion. They did a really good job setting everything up at the first season and they did, once again, another great job developing the plot for this second season.
The same goes for the character criterion. Jobless Reincarnation definitely deserves a ten out of ten.
I can't say the same for all the other criterions though. I'm not saying they sucked at the other criterions. I gave "art" a seven. Though the art and animation was really good and the fight scenes are so freaking remarkable, not to mention the amazing choreography for the fight scenes, it isn't consistent? Some of the episodes are crappy compared to the others. You can clearly see the CG in some of the episodes; it's disgusting, LMAO, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.
I really enjoyed this anime. It's really interesting and each episode just draws you to watch it even more. Unlike the first season, NSFW humor is only in moderation (WHICH IS GOOD THE FIRST SEASON WAS SO FUCKED) and there were more serious scenes (which i loved).
Okay, but the sound criterion is pretty interesting, since I don't know where to include openings and endings, BECAUSE TECHNICALLY OPENINGS AND ENDINGS ARE PART OF "SOUND" SINCE THEY INCLUDE MUSIC, BUT THEY'RE ALSO ANIMATED SO DOES THAT MEAN THEY'RE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE "ART" CRITERION, BUT NO? BECAUSE THE OPENINGS ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE NARRATIVE AND HELP THE PLOT? SO WHERE THE FUCK DO I TALK ABOUT THE OPENING-
And yes, the openings and endings contribute to the plot. Actually I wouldn't call them openings, THEY'RE MORE LIKE "A PORTION OF THE EPISODE THAT JUST HAS MUSIC, YOU KNOW?". Jobless Reincarnation doesn't have an animation for the very purpose of playing during the opening (kind of like a music video), instead they show scenes such as traveling or training, so instead of having our characters just teleport from city to city or have our characters just instantly become ten times stronger, we have an insight of what happens in between scenes, which I find really interesting. Though they're not really essential to the plot or anything, so it's okay to skip them, but ofcourse I will forever consider you uncultured and cringe for skipping the openings and endings which isn't really a downside because no one really cares about my opinion or what I think 😭.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tl;dr (or the conclusion lmao)!!!!!!!!!!
Overall, I give Mushoku Tensei a nine out of ten. Worldbuilding and plotmaking is on par with some of the best animes out there- ahem- Attack On Titan- ahem. We're given diverse but well written characters that almost, if not, resembles real people with ACTUAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, LMAO. The art and animation are all pretty decent, though it's mot very consistent, but amazing nonetheless. The music, OH, THE MUSIC- so well made; WHAT CAN I SAY IT'S GOOD OK. I enjoyed this anime a lot; it has the perfect amount of comedy and drama which combined is a masterpiece.
tl;dr pro max
very gud anime i recomend u watch so nice bootiful

The fifth season of Boku No Pico Academia is finally here. Welp, I guess it's now time for me to review this thing.
This review will have some spoilers BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY BIG SPOILERS SO NO WORRIES :D.
I don't even know why I called them spoilers; the stuff I'll be mentioning are so little I can really just say this review is spoiler free.
Before we start, for those people who are too lazy to read I made a very short version at the end. Just scroll all the way to the end for it.
All right let's get straight to it !
!!! Here's a recap
...
of bnha !!! (You can skip this if you want to get straight to bnha s5's review)
Boku No Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) takes place in a world where 80% of the human population have quirks, special abilities that varies from being able to make explosions to being a freaking seal. Because of this, people have used these quirks to commit evil crimes, these people are known as villains. The people who use their quirks against evil are known as heroes. Our sad main protagonist, Izuku Midoriya, was unfortunately part of the sad 20% of people who didn't have any quirks, these people are known as quirkless people. Nevertheless he still strived to be a hero until one day after he almost got devoured by a slime. The number 1 hero, All Might, a hero who smiles even in times of trouble, a hero so strong you can see his abs through the costume, chose Midoriya as the 9th wielder of One For All, a quirk passed down from generation to generation, accumulating power and different quirks from previous wielders. After long training, Midoriya, longing to be like the number 1 hero All Might, enrolls to U.A. Highschool, an academy made for heroes, and ends up breaking all the bones in his body multiple times, gets targetted by multiple terrorist groups, unlocks super saiyan, breaks all of his bones again, defeats a freaking drug lord, and almost evaropated into nothing because a child he rescued.
The story idea is amazing. The anime isn't though.
!!! bnha recap !!!
Story: 7
Boku No Pico Academia's 5th season (I'll try my best to not spoil a lot -- If you really don't want any spoilers then just skip this criteria) starts with the events following Hawks (no. 2 hero very hawt guy) and Endeavor's (no. 1 hero who's just tryna have a family again) battle against a Nomu (Monster-like humans with multiple quirks created with All For One). We see Endeavor, with him being the new number 1 hero, a whole lot in this season. The first major part of the season is a series of battles with class A and B. Just before this series of battles, Deku recieves a vision of the previous One For All members. During one of the battles, having received the same vision, Deku Manifests a new quirk! I only included the first major part and non-key info of this season to avoid spoiling anything :D
Art: 8
Boku No Pico Academia's animation for this fifth season was very consistent. There weren't any episodes that was poorly made and there weren't any episodes that I would say better than others. bnha's animation overall is pretty great, but I don't know if it's just me or the animation was better during the previous seasons and I don't really see anything in the animation that really surprises me. I don't really see any reason why I should give their art a 9. I don't really have much to say about their animation. IT'S GREAT OKAY IT'S JUST I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT MOVING ON!
Sound: 8
Just like their art, there aren't much to say about Boku No Pico Academia's sound LOL. I don't really see anything bad nor do I see anything that great? Oooo but I really like the first ending song it's very catchy and the rest of the openings and endings are pretty good too. I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE THE SECOND OPENING; I EVEN SKIP IT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE -- please don't kill me -- . Voice acting and sound fx all sound pretty natural. Like I said nothing much to say.
Okey it's time for the characters; I'm very excited for this one.
Character: 5
One thing I don't like about Boku No Pico Academia -- I should really stop calling it that -- is that there's WAY too many characters. The amount of characters that show up in my screen is more than the history terms I have to memorize for my finals. Come on do you really expect me to memorize all of them??? Since there's more bnha characters than the sands of the earth, we barely know anything about the characters. There isn't just enough time to properly introduce every single one; that's why we only have surface level information for everyone. MOST SCREENTIME DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT SINCE THEY'RE SO BUSY SHOWING A FLASHBACK FOR SOME CHARACTER I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT OR MAYBE TOO BUSY WITH SHOWING US TODOROKI'S FAMILY ISSUES. * Ehem * Forgive me; I got carried away. Because of bnha's large collection of characters, character development is also very slow. It took Bakugo 5 seasons to learn that a hero's job is to save people and 5 seasons to know that team work makes the dream work. LIKE BRU- ALSO DEKU WHEN THE HECK ARE YOU GONNA REALIZE SOMEONE HAS A HUGE CRUSH ON YOU AND MY GIRL WHEN ARE YOU GONNA CONFESS?? Also Tetsuo please forgive your dad (Mr. Endeavor San aka no. 1 hero) I know it's hard, but he's trying his best to have a family again; so please forgive him. Once again, because bnha has more characters than the members of every isekai main character's harem have, everyone doesn't have much of a personality. I CAN SUM UP MOST OF EVERYONE'S PERSONALITY IN SEASON 5 IN ONE SENTENCE WATCH ME.
Deku: I HAVE TO GET STRONGER TO BECOME #1 HERO * cries *
Iida: THERE IS NO POINT IN GETTING SAD- LET'S ALL MOVE ON AND TRAIN TO GET STRONGER. PLUS ULTRA !!!!
Bakugo: LOL noob ur never passing me just go die and go straight to hell idc about ur silly dreams. go to hell.
Mr. Endeavor San: SHOOOTOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! #AllMight_kinda_noob #I_wanna_have_a_family_again
Todoroki: Frick u dad.
Ochako: OH MY LORD I JUST HUGGED DEKU KUN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Midnight: AWWWW OMG U GUYS ARE SO CUTE HOW ADORABLE !!!!! UWU !!!!!
Those may not be very accurate, but you know what I mean right? They all have one-dimension personalities. There are really just too much characters and because of that, bnha characters aren't very special. Most Boku No Pico Academia male characters only exist for gay ships and all the girls for ----- well you knowww. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike bnha's characters; I actually like them, since I relate to some of them in a way, but hear me out. THERE ARE JUST TOO MUCH BOKU NO PICO ACADEMIA CHARACTERS.
Enjoyment: 5
I don't enjoy Boku No Pico Academia. I started watching bnha, because my former bestfriend asked me to watch it and since I've already seen seasons 1-4, I might as well watch season 5 too. I personally believe bnha is made for a younger audience -- I MYSELF IS NOT OLD OKAY IM REFERRING TO TEENS AND PRETEENS --. It doesn't make sense though, since there are uh. How do I explain. * ehem * Midnight * ehem * Mountain Lady * ehem * Momo Yaoyarazu -- I don't know if I spelled that correctly --. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. As I was saying, I believe bnha was made for preteens. Most jokes aren't even funny (for me atleast) and rather childish (yes I just said childish). Some jokes are just very overused. Stuff like deku talking a lot and being a complete nerd; blabbing a lot of crap that no one cares about and people making him shut up used to be funny, BUT IT'S BEEN 5 SEASONS LET'S TRY UH OTHER THINGS PERHAPS? Also Kacchan being loud and disrespectful used to be really funny but It's getting kind of annoying to be honest. Now for fight scenes. I used to love Boku No Pico academia's fight scenes. I honestly don't know why anymore. I don't know why I ever loved their fight scenes. bnha battles are just 60% side characters stating the obvious facts about the battle, 20% chit chat between the people fighting , 10% screaming "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?", 5% shouting the names of their ultimate moves and 5% actual fighting. Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy battles from shounen animes it's just I don't like side characters that I don't care about talk about the battle. IT'S AWKWARD. Another thing is bnha's very slow plot pacing. It's so extremely slow and because of that I don't really find bnha that interesting anymore compared to when it was at the first two seasons. I just continue watching for the sake of finishing.
Overall: 6
In conclusion, Boku No Pico Academia is just another shounen anime. The only thing this anime has anything different to offer is that it's main character is a total wimp and cries a lot and this anime has infinitely more characters. LOL all jokes aside, Boku No Hero Academia is an 'okay' anime. It has a fairly nice story and plotline with great animation and sound. To be real, great animation and music is all Boku No Hero Academia is. bnha is very overrated. If you truly love this show and this is the type of anime you enjoy, that's okay. We all have our preferences and own opinions. I don't necessarily hate bnha, but it's definitely not the anime for me.
.. and that is my review for Boku No Hero Academia Season 5 THANCHU FOR READING !!! HAVE A GREAT DAY :D
For those too lazy to read:

tl;dr at the end for those too lazy to read!
Ponyo, just like every other Studio Ghibli movie, is a cute, heartfelt film with adorable characters and a little bit of a love story in a magical world. Overall the movie was pretty great, haha, as I expected from Studio Ghibli. They never fail to make memorable characters. Mixed with their beautiful animation and OST's, Studio Ghibli makes films that are close to perfection.
Let me just start with the art and animation. The art for Ponyo is, as expected, AMAZING! I love the character designs; they're drawn in a way it reflects their personality and
...
the sceneries are all desktop wallpaper worthy.
All the characters are great! (For the first half) I love every one of them, including the grandmas. I find Lisa, Sosuke, and Sosuke's dad's interactions very adorable; it helped show how, as a family, they all treat each other and show their personalities. EVERY SINGLE SOSUKE AND PONYO INTERACTION IS THE CUTEST THING. The only complaint I have is about how shallow some of the characters are. The only characters I would say were well written were Sosuke and Ponyo's dad. Everyone else is pretty shallow. Ponyo, for the duration of the entire film, is just "I love ham and Sosuke" and "my father sucks WOO". I don't even know what the heck Ponyo's mom is. How the heck did Ponyo's dad marry a freaking Goddess anyways? Why is Lisa so NAIVE? The fact that Lisa, without hesitating, believed that his son's fish transformed into his girlfriend, allowed a mad scientist who can make water forcefields and control water like Moana to enter the grandma hang-out place (I forgot what it's called), and negotiated an arranged marriage with the Goddess of the Sea because the world is ending. Wait why is the world ending again? I forgot, wait whoops, I can't forget something I was never told in the first place.
There is no story in the film. It's nonexistent. I'm sorry, but it's true. I really love this film, because of how much I enjoyed it and because of the funny and cute interactions, but there's really no plot. I mean, of course, there's a plot, but there is so very little information about it that I can freely say that this movie is nothing, but adorable characters and good animation.
I really enjoyed it though, that's why I gave it a seven out of ten. If it weren't for great animation and heartfelt characters, I would've given this film a six, maybe even five.
Overall, it's pretty good, but it just leaves everyone with so many questions and the ending didn't make that any better for us. Cute, funny characters and amazing animation are what make this a 'good' film. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely loved the film, but enjoyment and appeal alone don't make a good film. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for reading my review :D.
tl;dr
Story: 4 : There is really no story and the whole plot is questionable.
Art: 9 : This is a Studio Ghibli film.
Sound: 8 : Once again, this is a Studio Ghibli film.
Characters: 6 : Some characters are very good and very memorable, but most are very shallow and bland.
Enjoyment: 10 : IT'S CUTE AND FUNNY, OKAY?
4 + 9 + 8 + 6 + 10 =

I'm not even gonna bother making a tl;dr, since I'm keeping this review very short.
Spirited Away is the perfect example of what I dislike about Studio Ghibli the most, great music and animation alongside bland characters and a nonexistent plot. For the entire duration of the movie, I had no clue what was happening and why it was happening. It leaves the viewers so much questions that's never answered. Motives of each character is just unknown, except for Sen's, but we're just expected to go along without having any knowledge of what's happening. Spirited Away is kind of like Howl's Moving Castle. Actually, Spirited Away
...
is, in every way, exactly like Howl's Moving Castle. We're forced into a huge magical world with very little information about EVERYTHING REALLY. Also the "love" between Haku and Sen just doesn't exist as well. They've had almost no interactions so when they "got together" at the end, it was so underwhelming. Anyways, that's all I want to say. Thanks for reading.

tl;dr at the end for those too lazy to read! :D
After the amazing success of Kimi no Na wa ("Your Name"), people have had great expectations for this movie. Tenki no Ko ("Weathering With You"), "The next Kimi no Na wa", is in fact literally Kimi no Na wa. Kimi no Na wa and Tenki no ko both share many similarities. Teenage romance mixed with a little magic and to spice things up they add in a tragic twist. Aside from the fact that Tenki no ko and Kimi no Na wa has practically the same plot, I have no complaints about the plot. The
...
first half of the movie was mainly introducing the story's setting. One thing I want to mention is Tenki no ko's plot pacing. It went from fast to light speed. So much was happening, all so quickly, building up to the climax and when we reached the climax, I was breathless; not because it was- oh so perfect, but I was genuinely confused.
brain: ' Don't u think we're going a little fast with this story? '
my ass: ' Yeah uh- I don't really know what's going on, but AY LOOK THEY'RE SKYDIVING NOW '
THE CLIMAX WAS GREAT THOUGH DON'T GET ME WRONG. The movie overall is pretty good and I personally like it. The animation was outstanding, it reminded me of 5 Byōsoku Go Senchimētoru ("5 Centimeters Per Second"). As expected from CoMix Wave Films, they really went ahead of themselves with the animation. It's absolutely astonishing and this was really the only reason this movie managed to get an 8 from me. The music and sound (brought by Radwimps) were great throughout the entire movie. Everything sounded pretty natural and the music was really good. One thing I have against the music though is the timing on which they play the music. Some scenes really didn't need music and I would've preferred it without music. The music is great, but some of them just don't fit the vibe of the is currently happening. I like the movie, but I didn't really enjoy it much. Like I said it was just a little too fast-paced for me. Overall, Tenki no ko is a pretty solid anime! I would've given more score if they had been more original. I really recommend you watch this movie :D It's another work of art from the legend Makoto Shinkai. THAT'S IT THANK YOUU FOR READING <3 :D
tl;dr
Story: 7 - IT'S PERFECT if we ignore the fact that the whole plot is basically Kimi no Na wa all over again
Art: 10 - as expected from comix wave films, animation is splendid as usual
Sound: 8 - music and sound was great throughout the entire film; I preferred some scenes without music tho
Character: 8 - not much to say, this is a movie afterall; we only get surface level info on characters
Enjoyment: 6 - plot is too fast-paced for my liking and all the jokes and humor is literally copy-pasted from Kimi no Na wa
7 + 10 + 2(8) + 6 = 39
39/5 = 7.8

“But I’m sure that even if we had written 1,000 text messages back and forth……our hearts probably wouldn’t have moved even 1 centimeter closer.”
5 Centimeters Per Second is a collection of three short films that focuses on a single theme, love that wasn't meant to be. Before I begin with this review I want to express some certain feelings.
Art: 10
THE ART FOR THIS MOVIE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. You can take random screenshots of the movie every once in a while and 95% of them would be perfect for your wallpaper or profile picture. The animation is astonishing. The beautiful sceneries seen in these three episodes
...
especially in the second episode are breathtaking. Every frame is as if a beautiful painting. I wouldn't really start with art but it's just amazing I'm sorry.
Story: 8
5 Centimeters Per Second has well.... no plot. It's three short stories from very different times of Takaki Tono's life; all of which concerning his love life. It stresses the fact that some people aren't just meant to be. There isn't really much of a story to say since the majority of the movie is just beautiful scenery with nice music, but this movie serves as a wake up to reality that most love stories are just works of imagination and not all people were really meant for each other. I gave this story an 8 because of how much I relate to it. I shouldn't score a movie based on my personal feelings, but I just can't help see myself in him. I'm in love with a girl who lives thousands of miles away who I probably never get together with; not because my love isn't strong enough or not because I'm simply just not determined enough but because our circumstances just won't allow it. Lol, the saying "love never fails" is bullcrap and this movie is the perfect example of it.
Sound: 9
The sound throughout the entire three episodes was outstanding. It was completely natural and it made the art more alive. The ending song also was kinda catchy. The sound overall was perfect it's just there isn't really any wow factor that would make me give this a 10.
Character: 6
Aside from their love lives suck, we are not really given any info about our characters. We are only given three characters but we only have surface-level information about them. This is definitely because they were only given little time (1 hour) and most of that time is spent on just scenery and silence lol.
Enjoyment: 7
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST. Most of the movie was kinda boring since there was very little plot and there wasn't really much happening most of the time, but I really enjoyed watching the beautiful sceneries and listening to the background noises kept me interested till the end.
Overall: 9
Makoto Shinkai's "5 Centimeters Per Second", a collection of short films (called episodes) from very different times of Takaki Tono's life, focuses on the love of two people that was never bound to work out. I really recommend this movie; I don't really know what to say lol just watch it. It's nice.
All right, that's all I wanted to say, I'll go sleep now; I'm kinda tired.
THANK YOUU FOR READINGG!!!

I don't really make reviews, but this movie is just so bad and so good at the same time I had to.
no spoilers :D
At first, I thought everyone else was wrong for treating this movie badly, but to be honest, yeah, the movie is dog shit; everyone's right LOL. Not gonna lie, the first half was okay; I thought I was right that the movie really wasn't so bad, but things kinda got worse starting from the train ride. The main story idea was- actually really amazing it could've been great if they had done things differently this review would've given this movie a 9.
...
They tried their best to make dramatic and memorable scenes, but the poor CG and cheesy lines made it cringe. Why everyone is so harsh about this is not because it's purely bad (I mean yeah it's bad but it's not THAT bad right? right guys?) but because of the disappointment it brought. To think the ppl who help make Kimi no nawa also made this is a bummer lol. The movie was strange and it was very confusing, but it was enjoyable. I kinda enjoyed it lol and I wouldn't say it was a waste of my time. The music and sound were great though I have no complaints and no grudge against them. I actually only knew about this movie because of its theme song by DAOKO. THE ENDING THOUGH THEY COULDN'T HAVE MADE IT ANY WORSE. It was a cliffhanger and it was utterly disappointing. All right that was all I wanted to say. Thank you for reading.
