Background
So, I am going to start of this off at my reaction to the trailer. my reaction to it was that world seems very interesting and watching the anime yes the world was the most interesting part of the anime. As a viewer as was super interesting what they were going to do with it. And that is the part of the anime that did interesting me a lot.

Introduce
After watching the first episode I was so interesting in this anime, and I was looking forward to watching the next episode. After watching the last episode I was like that does not make any ... sense.

Main Body
Sound & Art
This is a lot about the anime I like. The Sound (particularly the Music) is a high point of the anime. this takes effect when fighting different monsters. I also like the opening when it comes to sound. I don't like the CG in the opening, the main example of this is the crab. (furthermore, the crab CG all throughout the anime really brings down the art and in my view takes away from the world).

Story & Enjoyment
I am not going to say to much about the story as there is already a Synopsis written by MAl. But I am going to say that my enjoyment of the story is effect by the different main characters and the last few episodes. The story was fine up until the last few episodes which did not make any sense and not in a good way. Furthermore, this anime has a many good random events but the last few episodes are not one of these events.

Characters
For the characters I am only going to talk about what I thought was the main characters.

Bisco Akaboshi- He is the main mushroom keeper in the anime. But he suffers from what a lot of main characters suffer from and that there are just too op. Which doesn't make a very good watch. Again the last few episodes make Bisco the worst character in this anime.

Milo "Panda" Nekoyanagi- He is a doctor that learn to shoot arrows and is smart. that is basically the whole story of this character. yes really boring.

Pawoo Nekoyanagi- She is panda sister and knows of to fight. so basically that we have here is one character is a smart and one is a fighter. I have seen this character arc so many times that it is not even funny.

Kurokawa- He is a bad guy and he is evil and he does bad things just because he is bad. There is no reason that he is evil he just wants to have power. Again I seen this character so many times. He is so basic that he and the next character is not even given a second name.

Jabi- He is the old man character so he is OP until the story does not want him to be.

Tirol "Kurage" Oochagama- She is the only interesting character in the anime. She does all she can do survive and wants someone saves her she thinks that there after her body. (Not a spoiler because it's the scene from the trailer). She is the most interesting character that is written in this anime. which finds the ability to trust again.

Overall
The main reason why this anime is fine is because of the interest of the story. But it is also a reason why this anime is so disappointing because there so much more that the writer could have done.

Tokyo Ghoul: "Pinto" was 25 minutes of enjoyment. If it was longer then it would have probably got a higher score.
As always, I going to try my best to not give any spoilers.
The review will talk about Story, Art, Sound and Music, Character’s, Overall Enjoyment and Overall opinion.
Story
The Story is nothing special, but it makes sense unlike the story of Tokyo Ghoul Re. it mainly focuses on Tsukiyama, Shuu (a Character that was in Tokyo Ghoul (Season 1), Tokyo Ghoul Root A (Season 2), Tokyo Ghoul Re (Season 3) and Tokyo Ghoul Re second season (Season 4)) school days were we get ... to meet him as a young Ghoul and some of his friends both human and Ghouls.
So i give the story 6 out 10
Art
The art is lovely. Not much more that I can say about it.
9 out 10
Sound and Music
There is not much music in this anime just the ED which was not that good. The same goings with the sound but unlike the music the sound is good.
The camera click, the ripping of the flesh is sounds lovely.
6 out 10
Character’s
Firstly, Matsumae and Ikaru are friends of Tsukiyama, Shuu. There are not really given any development above that, there are both Ghouls.
The Nurse. She beats an elderly people that is in her care every night, to get her angry out. The Nurse puts on a smile during the day but when behind closed doors she is angry at the world.
Hori, Chie the second main character of the OVA. She is a human. She is a oldball that focuses more on his pictures then her study’s. That catches Tsukiyama, Shuu in the middle of his feast, at first he was going to kill her but then she shows him some pictures that she has took of him and they become friends. At school the people there thinks she is weird and no one talks to her. But in the face of death she sticks to what she loves and talks a pictures instead of crying out for help.
Tsukiyama, Shuu the main character of this OVA. He meets a human and they become friends. He rip’s and tears the flesh of an old men and we as the audience learn how Shuu became who he is. He tests a friend to test her character saves her when she passes.
8 out 10.
Enjoyed
I enjoyed the short plot and events that happened. As well as the characters in this OVA.
7 out 10
So my overall score is 8 out 10.

Just as my other reviews, I am not going to give any spoilers in this review. Also I am going to call Tenkuu Shinpan or High-Rise Invasion, High-Rise Invasion for the rest of this review.
Story
For a Netflix original series, it is very good, I was surprised how good the first 4 episodes were. After that it was not so good. When the 3 of the 4 main character have over powered powers it makes it less entreating. The main reason why the first 4 episodes were good as it was a normal person dealing with a death game (and I do love a ... good death game show.) it is safe to say that High-Rise Invasion has a very strong start. This anime has a very good idea to it but let down by overpower syndrome.
It is also disappointing that every villain dies in the same episode that there are introduced in, it does not all a viewer to reason to build up a link with this characters, this seems to be a issue with many 12 episode anime.
Also, the constant shots of pants makes it really hard to get behind any character other than sniper. It was really anger and the end when it was meant to be a serious season.
5 out 10
sound
the music and other sounds is very good and the op and ed is going on my youtube playlist to listening to.
7 out 10
Art
The art is well drawn it is nothing ground breaking. It is what you would in 2021.
5 out 10
Character
3 out 10
My statements from the story is my main reasons here.
Enjoyment
The main reason I enjoyed this anime is because it was set in a death game and I not watch many other death game anime, if I have my views many have been different of High-Rise Invasion.
8 out 10

So overall I give High-Rise Invasion a 6 out 10.

The First season of Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on titan season 1) was a great watch. To make this simpler I will call this anime attack on Titan for the rest of this review.

as always i will not be given any spollers in this review of Attack on Titan.

Story and characters
All in all the first season is a set up for the season coming up.

The story focus of some characters and develops them, all characters that have development. However some characters are just there to die, which I personal don’t like, can name several for example a random character Thomas, I could name ... more but then I would be entering spoilers.

There is one death that happens that has a great impact on a character called Jean that completely changes his mindset and makes him join the scouts that he was against before.
8 out 10.

Art
For being an anime that was realised in 2013 the art is still good
9 out 10.

Sound
The sounds effects and music is outside, the OP, Levi themes and any other themes are god tier.
10 out 10

Enjoyment
It is safe to say I enjoyed this season. But I have to say for the first 5 episodes not inducing the first one. So episode 2 to 7 I did not find that much enjoyment.
But after that I enjoyed it.
9 out 10

So overall I would have to give this season of Attack of Titan a 8 out 10.

Opening – General Statement

This review was written after a first watch. I heard very little about “Kimi no Na wa” (“your name” – from this point forward, I going to call this movie “Your Name” to simplify things)” before watching the movie and am gland that I did before it was a fun and good watch.

As all ways am not going to give any spoilers in this review and off course it is my opinion. if you have not watched this movie yet go watch it, you will enjoy it.

Summary of review Structure

I going to break down this review into serval parts, these parts ... will be Opening – General Statement, summary of review structure, story, characters – main character, character – side characters, Art, sound – music, sound – General sound design, enjoyability and conclusion – overall opinion.
Story

I was surprised, I thought at first it was a dream plot but instead it was about body switching. I was much happier that “Your Name” decided to go this direction.

The story is about a very emotional Tachibana, Taki trying to save Miyamizu, Mitsuha from an event that will affect her friends, her family and her.

Tachibana and mitsuha swiched body when they go to sleep and then swich back the next day. this is the start of their romance as the character slowly start to learn how they live their very different lives the audience also learns about the characters. This allows the audience to get to know and start to form a connection with these characters.

I can’t say any more about “Your Name” without giving spoilers. All I can say Is the plot is an emotional ride that got me hooked to the story.

I am going to rate the story a 10 of 10.

Characters – Main character

As I said above. The romance between Tachibana and Mitsuha slowly developed throughout the movie.

I am going rate the main characters a 10 out 10.

Character – Side Characters.

I going to start off with, what I felt was the more boring side characters.
The characters that are in Tachibana life; Okudera Miki, Fuji Tsukasa and Takagi Shinta.

These characters are given less time in the movie and this shows in a negative way. They are friends with Tachibana and go with him to meet Mitsuha.

The characters that are in Mitsuha’s life; Miyamizu Yotsuha, Miyamizu Hitocha, Teshigawara Katsuhiko and Natori Sayaka.

I would rate the Side characters an 8 out 10 – just the side characters in Tachibana brings It down a bit. But I say the main characters more than make up for it.

Art, Sound – Music, Sound – General Sound Design.

I decided to put all three of these sections together in this essay, but I can’t really comment on any section in great detail without giving any spoilers – nor should I.

Art is a 10 out 10 before it’s just beautiful, but now you have probably see the image of then meteor because its everywhere. That is just one of many beautiful bits in “Your Name”.

Sound- Music and General Sound Design is a 10 out 10, it is just perfect. If I had to give any music that is top level is the music at the OP and the ED .

Enjoyability

It can be safe to say that I enjoyed this movie, I think the reason that I enjoyed this movie so much is because I heard very little about “Your Name”, I just seen it on a few lists and on Netflix and decided to watch it.

conclusion – overall opinion.

From everything I said in this essay (review) I have to rate “Your Name” 10 out 10.

This is my own personal opinion. this review does not have any spoilers just episode names (I do not talk about the plot of the anime in any part in detail in any part of my review. i just give a generic comment about it. for example this episode 9 has a more serious plot.)

Okay, I just going to say it now. I like a good anime with magic and witches. (so that may impact my opinion in both a negative and positive way.)

The Story is 4 out 10. This suffer from every episode being a different story. The only real episode that links is ... 10 and 11 (but I say these 2 episodes are the weakest.) The strongest episodes is 9. Because it’s one of 2 episode that covers strong hard-hitting elements. Maybe if I was younger, I may have enjoyed this series a lot more.

The art is almost perfect. 9 out 10. not much else to say about it.

in this review, I going to consider music and sound as two different things.

I going to start off with music. It is a 2/10. Is this nothing ear catching it is all very basic. The OP is not bad but it could be better. i would of liked if the music took more risks rather then being basic.

The sound desire. Is good I would say in my opinion it is a 7 or 6 out of 10. This is main shown in episode 9.

The characters are 5 out 10 there are mainly forgettable. They mainly have one personality and that is how the character plays their time in the series. The returning characters don’t learn everything, and the main character does not seem to learn or remember anything that happened in the previous episode.

It is enjoyability I bring up episode 9 again. But it does suffer a lot about every episode being about a different thing. A few episodes have more than one plot in it. So, I give it 5 or 6 for enjoyability (if every episode was like episode 9 then the enjoyability would be a 7 or maybe even low 8.)

Before I give my overall opinion. I will say that I will not be disappointed if this series doesn’t get a season 2 and I probably won’t watch it. So, I give this anime series (Majo No Tabitabi or the Wandering Witch: The Journey Of Elaina) overall I give this a 6 out of 10.

So if there any reasons to watch it it is the art.

So, first 4 episodes was boring and same can be sound about the last. but everything in between is like a bill if not great. (that’s mine thoughts of the episodes without going into detail about what happens in the episodes itself.)

The story overall is very good. the story is great when they start entering the timelines (in the second half) . But that is the best it gets: the last episodes kill the impact of the climax.

The sound is good great at points: with the music. "Ground Zero" or "Kurumi theme" is a good example of 2 music that is ... great during all data alive. There are much more during the show. But the opening is nothing to write home about.

As I said above the story is dull at points so it can heavily take away from the enjoyment from the series.

If there any reason to what "data a live" is the music alone.

"Date A Live" only gets an 8 because the last episodes bring it down. It this season ended at Episode 11 then overall this series would have got a 9.
