Love Lab is a very fun watch that doesn't require a lot of attention investment. Each of the main characters' strengths and weaknesses really shine and drive the show's comedy and entertainment. Each of the Love Lab experiments the main cast partakes in gives the laughs of a good comedy skit, but also the precious moments of them becoming better friends. If you like slapstick humor that slaps every time with a dose of heartwarming moments of friends being friends, this is a good show to watch.

Also, I need to warn you; this show will jump scare you 1 time ... with blackface. It will be the most out of left-field thing... and the funniest scene in the entire series. You have been warned.

"Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!" is a really amusing and playful show that is all about the comedic (and sometimes romantic) character dynamic of the dangerously extroverted Hana Uzaki and the highly introverted Shinichi Sakurai. Each episode has Uzaki try to drag Shinichi out of his mentality of wanting to do everything alone by inviting him to do something together. The humor comes from both characters being stubborn in their own wants which creates misunderstandings (phrasing) that lead to wacky hijinks, playful arguing, and teasing. This all leading to the two getting ever so slightly closer to one another as the show ... progresses.

If you are looking for a an entertaining young adult romcom that has an engaging balance of both rom and com, there is a lot of fun to be had with this show.

You ever watch a children's entertainment show on TV and wonder why grown adults are wearing ridiculous outfits while being seemingly forced to sing children's songs or perform in degrading scenes that no sane adult would realistically do normally? "Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan" is a comical and pessimistic take where these adult performers are fed up, but also need to keep their jobs. Although the show mainly focuses on the title-character Uramichi, it also does a great job representing the similar (and also comedic) struggles of the other adults that are acting alongside him.

The comedy of this show is centered around the many ... grown-up problems of a single late 20s and early 30s adult being brought up to children in a children's TV show. Problems such as heavy drinking, smoking, back pain, workplace conditions, broken relationships, harassment, financial woes, and depression are all discussed. Although the format of each episode is generally the same, the jokes and discussion topics differ. The show almost overstays it's 13 episode welcome, but still has enough comedy to keep watching throughout most of it.

If you are an adult that has had to work at least 1 job you hated every minute of (but had to do for the money) and are a fan of the occasional dark joke, this show can scratch that itch.

PS: Nothing much happens in the last two episodes, which are steered in a different direction from the rest of the show, so they can be skipped if you get burnt out. Also, fun fact: Iketeru's and his sister's Mabui's dog Sayuri is literally shares the same name of the voice actor playing the dog, Sayuri Sadaoka.

From reading the synopsis and watching the trailer, Tejina-senpai seems like it could be a funny comedy ecchi series with likable characters, but in the end the only thing it delivers on is the ecchi. The story writer couldn't even be bothered to give names to the main characters, as they are referred to as "Senpai" and "Assistant". The only motivation in the story is that "Senpai" wants to start a magic club. Not even the main character "Assistant" wants anything to do with this story, as he has to be continually (and sometimes literally) roped into this story.

The comedy ... is entirely centered around "Senpai" failing at the magic she is trying to perform, but it really warrants more of a reaction of pity than laughing. Comedy is subjective, but there are only certain people that can keep on laughing at the same punchline of "oopsies I failed at this magic trick, which got me in a pitiful situation" over and over again. The sad thing is that this could of been a compelling basis for the story, but then the story writer decided to make "Senpai" too arrogant and sadistic in her actions towards "Assistant" to feel any pity for.

As far as the ecchi scenes go, they are very well drawn, but terribly executed. All of the ecchi scenes are far out of left field and contribute basically nothing to the comedy, character development, or story. In a good show, "Assistant" would want to stay in the magic club to either help stop "Senpai" from exposing herself or because he enjoys it. Instead, all of these scenes go without any purpose or reason. In a good comedy, there would be some wacky occurrence that would lead to the fan service, but instead all of the fan service is due to the most mundane events. The ecchi scenes can also be almost impossibile to watch, as the story writer decided that it would be a good idea have "Senpai" have an ecchi scene (albeit relatively tame) in front of grade school kids. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?

The best way to watch Tejina-senpai would be a compilation of all of the ecchi scenes, but at that point though, why would you? There are other shows that do ecchi scenes better. This show is a hard pass.

Aho Girl is peak brainrot. A show where you just turn off your brain completely and let the madness unfold in front of you. "Aho" is Japanese slang term that roughly translates to "stupid", which is a good descriptor, as you have to get your brain stupid to enjoy this show to the fullest. In each episode expect copious amounts of underwear humor and extreme extroverted autism. When some viewers complain that fan service in certain shows was unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the story, Aho Girl proudly says "what if I make fan service the entire show?"

Aho ... Girl is a rare subversion of the pervert trope in anime. Typically only guys in anime are shown as absolute perverts, but in this show, it is completely reversed. This time, all of the female main characters (and most of the supporting characters) in this show do all of the perverted acts. Every pervert trope including peeping, stalking, nosebleeds, exhibitionism, invasion of privacy, it's all here being done by the female characters. It happens so often that your brain just becomes numb to it after a while and it just becomes funny.

If you are looking for an anime that had any sort of meaningful, touching message/story it wants to tell with well written characters, this ain't it boss. If you had a bad day and just want fully shut down your brain to watch stupid girls doing increasingly stupid things to feel better about yourself while having some laughs, this is the show for you.

PS: If watching, you won't want to skip the intro. The intro always plays the same song, but has a new visual gag for every episode.

Oshi no Ko is a gripping show that is part mystery, part revenge thriller, and part idol anime. It can also be argued it is part isekai, being that the synopsis even calls it the "entertainment world". If you hate filler scenes/episodes in anime, this is the show was made for directly for you. It's basically impossible to give a comprehensive and no spoiler review of this show, as approximately every ~15 minutes of every episode a major event happens. Just reading the characters list is a gigantic spoiler (sorry if you already read it). The synopsis and trailers for ... this show really do the impossibly difficult job of advertising plot without spoiling anything.

With that being said, everything in this show is done very well. The animation is very fluid and the characters designs/backgrounds are very well drawn. The direction is basically perfect, choosing the exact framing and music to make each scene as gripping as it needs to be. Although the anime medium has already had a great history of using detailed eyes to show each characters emotions, Oshi no Ko seems to take this to a whole new level (especially with Ai's eyes). Each character is very well written, showing their motivations, weaknesses, strengths, loves, and hates. Character flashbacks only occur naturally when brought up in conversation and never overstay their welcome. The story telling is simply some of the best out there, as every scene has a purpose to the over-arching plot whether it is directly contributing to moving the story along or carefully setting up characters and events to move the story along in the future. The entire show grabs your attention and only grips harder with each scene, as there are no filler scenes in any of the episodes that can be skipped.

If you are looking for a calming, laid back anime where everyone just chills out, this show isn't for you. However, if you are looking for gripping show where major events are happening rapidly with well written characters each with their own strong motivations, this is it.

Golden Boy is a classic 1990s ecchi that has a lot of really funny moments, but also a lot of extremely uncomfortable ones. Each episode focuses on the main protagonist, Kintarou, getting a new part time job to fulfill his 2 desires in life: to study more about life and to lust over an attractive woman. Sometimes this culminates in hilarious scenes such as Kintarou's first swimming lap, while other times the show thinks it needs to point out his boner. Sometimes an episode can show how much Kintarou truly wants whats best for the woman of the episode, while other times ... we are forced to see his twisted sexual fantasies of them. This isn't even mentioning that Kintarou also has to meet each episodes quota of rubbing himself against the woman's toilet.

If Golden Boy was just a supercut of every joke the story has, this would easily be a 9. However, there are too many vulgar and unsettling scenes that make Golden Boy really difficult to watch as a whole. If you have the chance to just watch a joke compilation video of Golden Boy instead of the entire series, that would be for the best.

First off, do not let the kitten character designs and animation style fool you. This is NOT a happy kids movie. Night on the Galactic Railroad is one of the most surrealist, bittersweet, and philosophical films ever made, dealing with topics of self-sacrifice, selflessness, death, the afterlife, and religion. The novel of the same name this movie is based on was published around 1934 after the author, Kenji Miyazawa, passed away in 1933. Although I am by no means an expert in this man's history, this story really helps explain his thoughts on the afterlife and his purpose for his life ... in a very thought-provoking and interpretive way for the audience.

For a film that was made in 1985 based on a story that wasn't published until 1934, the science fiction setting as Campanella and Giocanni travel on the Galactic Railroad still hold up tremendously well. The visuals and symbology still hold up today tremendously well. They are easy to comprehend, but hard to fully understand (in a good way that makes you think). The animation doesn't hold up as well animations during the same time period. Budget constraints might of been a problem. It makes up for this limitation by having some of the best imagery and pacing in a movie, giving the audience time to fully take in each scene. The music can also feel a little disjointed and art-houseish, but most of the time it adds a good weight the scenes they use it in. The inclusion of the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" was especially well implemented into the story, greatly fitting the theme of the scene it is in.

If you go into this film open-minded, expecting a very emotional journey (that will leave you crying at least once), there is a lot to enjoy and ponder on in this classic. Also, want to give a shoutout to sasakure.UK for writing the wonderful song "For Campanella", which led me to this great movie.

It's really hard to talk about Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san without first having a base understanding of the psychology of a single Japanese salary man, depression due to corporate crunch culture, and the healing aspects of marriage. Without writing a masters psychology thesis on the topic, this show seems to perfectly illustrate every single non-sexual desire a man wants from a wife. Generally speaking around the house, salary men would highly desire a wife to be able to cook healthy and delicious meals for them, clean their dishes, and do their laundry. Mentally speaking, they would also highly desire a wife to ... say they did a great job at work, be a positive/helpful presence, verbally encourage them to relax while at home, and engage in entertainment with them (such as watching TV or video games). For a culture such as Japan's work culture, which makes it almost impossible to have time to even meet a potential wife due to the constant crunch culture they have to endure, Senko-san is like a beacon of hope trying to remind salary men why a wife is so important for their mental and physical health (or escape further into fiction, depending on the reaction of the viewer) by demonstrating these desires fulfilled.

With the knowledge that this show is about fulfilling the desires a man has for a wife, it was originally troubling that the story writer made Senko have the physical attributes of a very young girl. The show has Nakano talk about this many times in the earlier episodes, which means that the story writer is clearly not trying to hide or obscure this fact. After watching the entire show, and thinking about Senko's outfit, my belief is that this was done very deliberately and directly demand the entire audience to NOT lewd the fox. This might just be a case of "Death of the Author", but Senko's outfit is the least revealing outfit I've ever seen a female main character wear in any animation, not just anime. Nakano never makes a move on Senko. When Nakano wants to interact physically with Senko, instead of hugging directly (which can be perceived indecent), he only wants to fluff her tail (which there is no human counterpart to). The only scene that could be perceived as explicit to western audiences between Nakano and Senko would be the bathing episode, in which an understanding of familial Japanese bathing customs would be needed. If Senko was shown as a fully grown woman, it would have immediately changed the character dynamic between Nakano and Senko, immediately defeating the purpose and message of the show.

What I find most fascinating is that although the main character Senko-san is described as a "fox-deity", she refrains from a pretty much all supernatural interactions directly with Nakano. Yes, Senko floats and goes through walls/doors, but every form of pampering she does can all be done by any human. It should be reasonable to assume that there would be a scene or two of healing or cleaning magic, but nope. Senko literally goes to the supermarket for regular ingredients and does laundry with a laundry bucket. This was most likely done deliberately to ground the pampering in reality, but is still a little silly none the less.

Overall, I would recommend Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san to salary men who are losing hope. It's a hearty show with a lot of positivity that can bring temporary happiness to keep on going.

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen was incredibly well animated and the fight scenes were very well directed, but the entire story felt like it was written by a completely different group of people. Season 1 built a strong foundation of emotional attachment for the entire Jujutsu High cast, showcasing each characters' distinct, yet likeable personalities. Season 1 also set up Itadori to be the main character going forward into season 2. Season 2 not only made it hard to determine who the main character is, but more importantly systematically destroyed each Jujutsu High character where no one escapes without being irreparably ... broken in one way or another. There are no more fun-time adventures hunting murderous curses, stopping evil curse users, and hunting for Sukuna's fingers. Only immense pain and despair for everyone. It's like whoever wrote this story hated their audience. Like REALLY hated their audience.

There are some viewers that enjoy shows where all of their good characters are destroyed and the story emanates complete despair, in which case I would recommend this. To those that are more normal and have a healthier/hopeful mental state, this season is definitely not recommended.

To put it bluntly, the only good time to be had in this season was unintentionally in episode 17, "Thunderclap, Part 2". There is a very emotionally intense scene with Itadori in which he completely breaks down when he fully understands how destructive Sukuna is. Out of all of the songs they could have chosen to represent the tone the scene was setting, they chose THIS moment to play the upbeat opening theme, "Specialz". The pure tonal whiplash of this scene is so horrendous that it becomes immensely funny in a strange way.
