OP: Fine movie & song which match well w the arcs tone
[7] Fun recap showcasing 1A's development & teamwork.
[7] Nice idea w the betrayal & Mirko's 2nd scene, tho it's rushed. Good convo between the Todorokis, the OfA scene was a bit forced.
[7] Nice intro to the new arc w shallow approach to 1B's personalities & powers.
[8] Cool strategic use of powers & tools w good character work & some nice directing.
[8] Once again a fun use of the quirks w good moments for Tokoyami & Aoyama. Komori & Kuroiru had great intros, Kendo & Momo were nice ... too.
[7] Good plan from 1B, nice back and forth. Komori was cute & scary, tho her & Manga were subpar.
[7] Dumb stuff from Tetsu but all other 1B guys were fun.
[8] Some amazing cuts of animation & a great back and forth w good call backs & new lessons for their character development.
[8] Awesome team work from 1A, even if not friendly, w the special focus on Bakugo. Good stuff from 1B too, fun powers & fight styles. Good after talks about their developments.
[7] Serious Monoma is good & the mystery & possibilities of the new quirks are nice, tho convinient. New charas were fine & 1A subpar.
[7] Nice conclusion to the fight & the whole event w special focus on Shinso & Midoriya.
[7] Simple feel good closing moments of the arc w nice interactions between the classes.
ED: great illustrations with a nice song
Mean Score: 7.33
Rating: Mid-mid 7, the best & most consistently good training and/or school arc, tho the peaks of the Sports Fes are still higher

Collection of short episode-reviews with my immediate impressions:

OP: continuation of the musical drop off & the movie was bad bad
[7] Nice comeback w a fun fight, the Hashira meeting & the beginning of the training were all good as well. Still can't get behind some of the characters & gags. Great final scene, shows the graveness of the situation & the changing times.
[8] Good conclusion to Tamayo's invite. Tanjiro stalking Giyu was funny, but his isolation was weirdly inserted as if a switch was suddenly turned up. The solution to it was great tho, both on present time & flashback. Shinobu's scene was both funny ... & sad, w hints of foreshadowing.
[7] Good spar w Uzui, he is beautiful & cool as always, but i wish his wives were actual characters instead of more of his accessories. The guys on hopium was nice tho, & the art as always.
[7] All the sparring is good & fun. The training so far seems quite poor conceptually (maybe cutting the kites), but the progression is nice.
[7] Tanjiro is great & most moments he protagonizes too. Mitsuri was done dirty, Iguro's training & he himself were cool, Wind is super grating & a step down, the intro to Rock was funny but a bit much. Feeling very rushed.
[6] Zenitsu comedy is a stain on this anime. This training doesn't make much sense, would've much preferred if it was more about concentration than strength. Good to see them bonding & the cathartic success, but Tanjiro is too much of a golden boy. Muzan's scenes were good, awesome transition.
[8] The 1st note of Gyomei's backstory was great, the bulk of it could have been better executed but serves its emotional & narrative role completely. Main 4 were fine. The spar between Giyu & Wind was fun, quickly switching to a tense scene w the eye & then the bombshell of Muzan showing up.
[9] Muzan's walk was a bit excessive, the talk w Ubuyashiki was amazing in character & tone, the explosion was well made & a surprise along w Tamayo & the Hashira rushing to fight Muzan, followed by the awesome scene w them all falling in the castle.

OP: catchy song, boring visuals
[6] It could be more consensual but the kinks are well executed and never go too far
[6] Very wasteful to do more than one girl per episode, but they do know how to execute the kink stuff super well
[6] These beetches are crazy, man, crazy! Good for them, honestly, specially w such a positive mutual relationship. The shock kink was poorly done and the school stuff makes the situation much worse tho
[6] Interesting faces (especially in the Baiser v Sulfur duel) and a genuine fight. Surprising worldbuilding with the light side Kyuubei and the ... "sponsors". Not much fetish content but some relationship and character stuff, especially sulfur who is quite fun. Also, i've just now realize how much they look like cats
[6] More of the same, this time with brief touches on very distinct and prolific kinks connected via a third one that feels kinda weird considering the character involved
[4] Uhm...
[6] Actual character development?!? Utena's VA went hard on this one, and the situations were pretty enjoyable. The new villains at the end gave some wind to the show too
[7] There are actual villains and they are quite fun! There is a plot and powerscalling too! Baiser is such an interesting character, Kiwi is a huge lesbian disaster and the idol stuff was so funny
[7] Actual progression! Powerplay and conflict with nice ecchi
[7] Did not expect an actual sex scene, but they managed to make it both hot and sensual, all while fitting character and plot. The start of the final fight was nice, but i wish they would spread it better
[6] A little weird, but Vena was quite sinister by the end
[6] No hotel? Utena's recovery was good tho, if a lil out of nowhere. There is still some semblance of sticking to fetishes
[7] Good beach sequences, both the day and night scenes. Also a great emotional and thematic conclusion to the anime w a fun fight and nice ecchi stuff. Just wish Utena got together w Kiwi, Sayo, both or all

OP:
[6] Effective ecchi comedy, i just wish they were a little older and that it could include more friendships w all genders for both of them. This is entirely outclassed by Dress up Darling in art, character design & writing but it can be a fun spare before their next season
[4] The real incel hours. At least it's channeling the bad energies to fiction
[7] Absurd jump in quality from last ep. The production is still pretty bad, but Akino is a wonderful addition to the cast and makes their dynamics have some meaning
[6] Cute relationship developments w ... a good pace after the way too fast start, but the ecchi threw me off a bit. Also the "true Hokkaido(an?)" stuff is weird for me, considering the history
[6] Cute episode! But the Fuyuki+Akino chemistry is so much better than any other duo, although those 3 are good too. Certainly gets better dubbed
[5] Clunky intro to Rena
[6] Cute date and Fuyuki's reactions are also interesting

OP:
[7] Awesome!
[7] Even bureaucracy is well made!
[7] Great race, by itself and the character work.
[8] I believe it has just locked in. 2 excellent scenes w good connective material.
[7] Fun & unexpected.
[8] That's it! It goes so hard when dealing w their traumas.
[7] Cool, seems like will be even better soon.
... [7] Show, evolving rivalry & growing charas.
[9] So good i don't know where they could possibly go from here, but also very detached from the original premise.
[6] Good racing and photography, but why tf must they keep on hammering the "hard work, future, a beautiful star"?
[6] Literally the same as the previous.
[7] The good of the other eps without the bad.

OP:
[6] Interesting and has a super cute MC.
[7] The old lady is so damn cute.
[7] Fun and believable romance.
[6] It seemed a bit uglier than usual, conflicts resolved very quickly, but the romance continues to build.
[7] Good, but there could have been more deception from Kaya and her ex's father, creating a cool air of mystery.
[7] Cool magic and action, also nice character moments. I don't like the lineage thing, and I have zero empathy for Kaya. Doubt anything can change my opinion at this point.
[7] Everything very fun and good, w an intrigating ending that promises ... to greatly advance the plot.
[6] ehn
[8] Such a good dramance.
[7] I really wanted to give it an 8, but it wasn't it. The fight was excellent, I liked the character development for the MC and the fiancé, and the strategic/military/political aspect was also cool. However, this whole secret lineage and dormant power thing is a bit sleepy, especially the way it was revealed through a pure infodump.
[7] Quality revelations and dramatic romance, but the action is a bit weak, and the information comes too easily.
[8] The action was very cool; Miyo's confrontation was great, and the romance was super cute.

OP: great song & fun movie
[8] Surprising, excellent direction, action, and dialogue that were completely new to me. I thought they got the balance right, but it could get tedious if every episode continues like this. The text entries are a negative for me as I can't read them.
[8] I didn't feel the time passing; the direction, dialogue, characterization, and mystery were impressive.
[8] Bizarrely well done.
[7] Very good direction, a blend of action and exposition that works very well, but the resolution was a bit weak. I didn't like how they simply killed the guy, and before that, ... the revelation itself was very quick and lacking in evidence, in my opinion.
[7] Many introductions, some more interesting than others.
[7] Many pieces in motion, and things come out of nowhere.
[8] Once again a very cool episode.
[8] The fights, dialogue, and mystery were all very well done; it returned to form excellently.
[7] Nice setup, without any special shine.
[9] Really cool, full of style and substance in equal parts.
[7] Sexy and intriguing but a bit messy, and the protagonists are missed.
[6] Some interesting things, but it felt very disjointed as a whole. The yuri elements are sexy but strange. The action got bizarre, and the tone at the end, with the gentle ED right after the genocide in the village, with Vera calmly trying to solve the mystery and Tsuguru killing the warriors for nothing. The mystery part also lost me a bit, I'm not understanding anything anymore, but this could flip in the next episode.
[9] All the pieces were on the table since the first episode of the arc; the resolution of the mystery and the theme were great. Some strange choices in direction were weak, but that scene of the unheard-style fight is out of this world; the director is a genius.

OP: amazing movie paired with a fitting fun song, but it doesn't really match with the events of the arc
[7] Cool as heck.
[5] Very weak text, but good art (just lacked movement).
[8] Fire, wonderfully expanded the original material and made super fun fights.
[7] Komamura's arc would be so beautiful if it were a curve instead of 3 or 4 points... I don't like how the fights shift from one side to the other with each phase of the characters, but the points they hit are cool. Except when they make the characters act completely out of the situation, ... joining forces against a single opponent and taking turns fighting. The Ichigo saga in the post-credits is interesting, but the Ichibei part should really be the end of it.
[5] Almost everything about the Vizards in this arc is like garbage; there were such simple solutions that could complement the story thematically so well, but Kubo simply discarded them. The Superstar as well, such a boring guy with powers completely out of place; at least there's the villain/hero dynamic, and how he abandons it in the end, getting pissed off and killing James on his own. Renji's new Bankai is ridiculous, and the way he obtained it completely destroys the power play.
[8] F...what direction, huh! I just thought the effects were a bit below what they could be.
[7] Cool, but I can't help but be wary of Gremmy's unlimited powers and Kenpachi's invulnerability.
[6] Some really cool things, but also some very anime moments (derogatory).
[7] Fun but full of unnecessary exposition. They dealt relatively well with the issue of Gigi. But the zombie clash is very strange, and, as entertaining as it is on screen, I don't buy Mayuri.
[5] Meh, fights and characters are uninspiring. I like the Bambis, so having them on screen is cool, and buffed-up Toshiro finally fighting in a cool way was good. Byakuya should be dead, and Mayuri's powers are pure bullshit, and he's a scumbag in character.
[7] Totally cool, just don't like that annoying Shiba guy.
[8] Very cool, I just can't swallow these constant explanations of powers and the way Auswahlen works.
[9] Those fights were amazing, for the love of God! Exactly what the concept of adaptation in anime was created to fulfill.

OP:
[7]
[7]
[7] A beginning of the expansion in the workings of the school and its members (both staff and senpais), with character development, a bit of romance, very good!
[7] Interesting action, but the writing was weaker in terms of world-building and the consequences of things.
[5] Weird villain, and the plot became strange and nonsensical.
[7] It was building something much better than the previous episode, and then comes the gigantic twist at the end that completely changes what this anime is (and I don't know what the outcome of this will be, I hope for the better). I was ... hoping Oliver would be a truly good Kirito and not just another standard edgy character, but it seems that won't be the case º~º
[7] Basically, they returned to the status quo, which, for me, is better than the other proposal. The professors are quite dull, and the school is strange. Cool genderqueer rep.
[7] Show, I just thought they should have spent more time with the jerk.
[8] Again, doing much with too little.
[6] Cool, but the production is worse than usual.
[6] Weak, but raises some interesting points.
[8] Delightful to have a competent script with good characters, world, and plot as seen here.
[7] The script continues to be great, but the production is showing a significant decline.

Comentários desorganizados pra fromar uma review apropriada posteriormente já que vou precisar reassistir com muito mais calma pra finalmente poder botar tds meus pensamentos em ordem e formular algo que seja digno de todas as ideias apresentadas aqui

The art is impressive in all its aspects
General songs are wonderful, especially the Ending, but the Opening isn't far behind (even if the styles are quite different)
I can't enjoy Biwa's traditional songs, but the artistry is appreciated
You might get a little lost
Very good character work and the portrayal of the supernatural powers some have
