Overlord II (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Overlord II for some reason doesn't quite have the spice that it carried so well for it's first season. It ends up feeling very oh another Isekai game anime instead of Overlord.

Part of this reason might be because that the most successful approach from the first season was a very tight knit, and focused storyline around Momonga. And then he was established as a character who had really defining moments we could chuckle to. Season 2 tries to expand perspectives based on many characters but we end up with the Lizardmen, Sebastian, and the various Kingdom people.

To an extent it is a really ...

How to Keep a Mummy is a pleasant surprise that captures your heart with adorableness as a mostly slice of life meets supernatural pets.

Overall I find the story pleasant because of the genre, so each episode is kind of a day to day life scenario. There are some moments that end up a little wacky and sudden because there are some serious moments that show up and near the end characters suddenly receive a bunch of quirky traits to progress the plot. And you can definitely feel emotional from them because you grow quite attached to everyone. But I can kind of roll with ...

After recently completing the first season of Starmyu (and loved it to the point of watching it twice my first time), I was so happy to learn about it's second upcoming season. However, I think in comparison, perhaps Starmyu tried to do a little too much in the same 12 episode format. Which makes it feel a little underdeveloped in most areas and characters.

As we continue with interjections of musical numbers, the storyline this time is perhaps a little weaker in comparison to the first season, and I already considered the first storyline pretty standard. The focus does not revolve around just Team ...

Preliminary (10/12 eps)
Although this has a very bishounen artstyle and pretty much a male cast, rest assured that it's actually a very refreshing series with pretty much nonexistant yaoi/shounen ai vibes.

STORY:
Truthfully as I have been watching this series I can't tell where it's gonna go, and that's a great thing. The plot is neither shallow or cliche and each episode makes you wonder and learn more and more. Overall we find out about each prince and their flaws and strengths and watch them grow, but this series takes on such a refreshing perspective of what may be some typical prince issues.

ART:
Well I may be biased ...

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress starts off in a steam punk world dominated by trains and stations in order for humanity to survive against 'kabane' (basically zombies). Which sounds amazing! Despite this opportunity, it is widely criticized for being an Attack on Titan clone and it can't be denied that the whole production is almost entirely the same (studio WIT, composer Sawano Hiroyuki, Aimer). However I think for the most part they aren't as similar as one should think and in some areas there's a little more maturity, but that doesn't stop WIT from trying to applying its same hit formula to this series disappointingly. ...

In short, simply put, Uchouten Kazoku has a beautiful world setting, art style and well established characters. And these aspects I like alot, however, it is such a shame that overall these elements when tied with the plot it presented, never really drive to a satisfying end or resolution as beautiful as it's small moments are. I really really want to love Uchouten Kazoku, because I love it's characters, but it does not refine itself equally overall.

STORY: 6
When you take an overall glimpse of the plot, it's pretty shallow and petty. But the shows does a great thing of overlaying that with ...

If the first season of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu was a 10/10 for most then this season could be considered a 9/10 because personally I do believe that it is less consistent with its episodes and starts off slow, as I found myself starting and stopping the series a few times. However I certainly found that it payed off in the end.

STORY: 8
While in the first season we focus solely on the story of our main character Bon, this season implied that we were then going to witness Yotaro's perspective mainly. Which the anime did, but it also explored a lot of the supporting cast ...

Nanbaka 2 (Anime) add
The second season of Nanbaka picks up right where its first season left off but I think in comparison to the first season its definitely lacking and has its flaws.

STORY: 6
Overall *probably a spoiler* the story never gets resolved in the end and instead we're left at the halfway point or even climax. In comparison to the first season's comedic interludes Nanbaka also changes drastically in tone to a more serious note, or it very much tries to. And while it still holds onto what makes Nanbaka, Nanbaka, most people will probably find the change a disconnect to what drew them in at first. While ...

Personally I really, really enjoy this show but I can definitely see why most people greatly dislike it. Probably 2 of the biggest reasons being that the main character Tatsuya has no character growth and is already op and that each episode contains a lot of info dump thus making people bored. However for the first point I don't see why you have to see massive character development because what draws me in to this series is it's world building, therefore leading to why I approve of the information dumps in the episodes.

On a basic premise, the story follows a pair of siblings ...

Preliminary (11/13 eps)
Unfortunately, D. Gray-man Hallow fails to live up to the expectations of an established fanbase from its previous series as a looked up to sequel.

I've been with D. Gray-man for years and was thrilled when I found the mangaka was healthy enough to continue the series (after 4 years of hiatus!) and find that it was getting a sequel anime adaption. And that's how this was for many of the fanbase. Therefore, if you are probably not as dedicated then this might not seem as bad, although you will still need to either read the manga or watch the previous series to comprehend what happens ...
