Rascal Does Not Dream of A Bunny Girl Senpai (which I'll be referring to as Bunny Girl Senpai throughout this review as I'm too lazy to type out the entire title repeatedly) had all the ingredients for me to enjoy it: an attractive female character in a bunny girl outfit, said female character is something of a dominatrix, and it tells the story of how a relatively wholesome romance develops between two characters while also teaching the viewer some important life lessons about puberty. While I can understand why others would enjoy this anime and give it glowing reviews, for me personally I ...

Dandadan (Anime) add
Spoiler
*Spoiler Warning*

It would be hard to describe Dandadan using only one word. However, I can say that it’s an anime where there’s a little something for everybody: action adventure, romantic comedy, supernatural, drama, horror, and much more. While I think when any piece of media has a broad appeal factor, it can sometimes struggle with its identity which can lead to the show being a bit of a chaotic mess. Dandadan is a chaotic mess, but I would say it's a loveable one. It has some raunchy and pretty dark moments, but it has just as many wholesome, emotional, funny and epic moments mixed in ...

I finally got around to completing the holy trinity of Makoto Shinkai's disaster themed films: Weathering With You, Your Name and now Suzume. While his films aren't a trilogy (and I'm not entirely sure if they all exist within the same universe or not), they each follow very similar themes and have very similar plotlines: Young protagonist meets co-protagonist of the opposite gender under supernatural circumstances and must work together to save the world from epic disaster at the cost of a sacrifice from the co-protagonist, which prompts the protagonist to risk their life to undo the sacrifice of the co-protagonist in order ...

After Season 2 of Spy X Family, I was starting to become a little concerned about the direction the anime was heading in. I was concerned that Spy X Family was getting away from what made it so great in the first place: a perfect balance between the action of a spy thriller and the wholesomeness of having a family, all under the guise of the entire arrangement being fake with the fate of the world literally hanging in the balance. In the second part of its first season and in season two, Spy X Family had begun tilting more heavily in the ...

*Personal Note: There is some discussion about Weathering With You, which was also made by Makoto Shinkai, the film director for both Your Name and Weathering With You*.

This was my second time watching a Makoto Shinkai movie, the first being Weathering With You. Despite its dazzling animation and astounding production quality, I didn't enjoy Weathering With You a whole lot due to the plot being pretty weak. As such I went into Your Name with a bit of weariness. I didn't want to go into it comparing Your Name to Weathering With You and I understood that (as far as I know) ...

I went into season 2 of Oshi No Ko with decently high expectations, and all things considered I would say that they were met! Season 2 was a solid continuation of the story from the previous season. Some of the smaller plot threads, such as the Akane vs Kana battle for Aqua, were resolved in this season but the anime also threw in a lot more mystery and intrigue to the main story with the first on-screen appearance of Aqua's and Ruby's father. This season also sets up for Aqua and Ruby to take on inverted roles in season 3: with Ruby being ...

Generally speaking, I enjoy a good gag show mostly because my sense of humor is all out of whack. I can honestly find pretty much anything funny so long as you can sell me on the delivery of it. I don't even mind if the plot is not necessarily about anything in particular, just so long as there's likeable characters and there's genuinely good comedy involved. Now it's hard to keep comedy fresh and interesting over any extended period of time but if the show has something good to fall back on it can work. Does My Deer Friend Nokotan have that? Well...not ...

I'll admit that I put off watching season 2 of Girlfriend Girlfriend for a while simply because I wasn't *that impressed* with season 1 and I had other anime that I was more interested in. Despite the first season's wacky and cringey moments, there was something almost endearing about the story: it didn't try too hard to take itself seriously and there were parts of it that were genuinely funny. The humor wasn't overwhelming either. I also thought that the anime posed some interesting questions at a deeper level and I was curious to see how the characters' polygamy would work out. I ...

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russia (or Roshidere for short which is what I’ll be referring to from this point on) is an anime that I found to be surprisingly good! I was so thoroughly enjoying and invested in the story that I ended up pulling a bit of a marathon to watch the first half of the season in one night, and I don't really do that for anything these days unless I'm really captivated by the story. It's a very enjoyable romcom that doesn't take itself too seriously but manages to balance everything that goes on in the story very ...

I think the plot for Solo Leveling can be pretty easily summed up like this: "Virgin beta male becomes stoic Chad after near death experience." Maybe it'd qualify as rebirth technically, but that'd be getting into semantics. Jokes aside, I did enjoy Solo Leveling and it did have its main character, Sung Jin-Woo (who I'll be just referring to as Jin-Woo from here on), go through a natural progression of becoming stronger. He wasn't automatically OP when he got a second chance at life and the anime does remind us on occasion that he isn't invincible, even when he's at his strongest towards ...
