WINDBREAKER

Now I'm a huge fan of gang brawls and wars anime. Like tokyo revengers S1 specifically, the fights are well executed and the fluidity animation of Cloverworks just never disappoints. Sakura is new from the town and immediately became part of Furin, the fast paced story just escalated into something interesting with the interactions with another faction gang Shishitoren are brutal and ruthless but utterly weak hehehe... The characters are interesting with a lot of hidden backstory which I wish we get to know in the upcoming seasons. I loved it, can't wait for Season 2 overall a solid 8/10 can easily binged watch the first season in a day give it a try, if you're looking for something fresh and unique.

Classroom of the Elite Season 3 & 4

It was years ago when the first season released and I was late to watch but thankfully I did and boy I waited and even gave up hoping for a second season. My prayers were answered when they announced not one season but 2!!! Firstly season 2 started right away when season 1 ended as Class-D is now Class-C, Ayanokoji being the puppet master of everyone and still finding ways to manipulate his "tools" wisely and properly. The rooftop was incredibly smooth and well choreographed. Season 3 took a turn after turn revealing loveable characters deep dark secrets to improve and help upon their Class. Karuizawa, Horikita, Ichinose, Hirikita, and Yamauchi carried this season with their intense character spirals,changed up and contributions, Ayanokoji and Sakayanagi battle was a bit pushed and rushed. Overall Season 2 was a better season than season 3 for me personally, Season 2 - 7.8/10 Season 3 - 7.5/10. Now we wait for the season 4 & 5 announcement please hopefully next year?

My Hero Academia - (Manga)

As an anime watcher and never been into manga for many years now there's only a few that constantly wait for a new chapter to read. My Hero Academia is one of them, even though the anime is still reaching its conclusion as well the manga has officially ended. Releasing its final volume today, when I first started watching the anime at the time 3 seasons were released and I immediately caught up to the point where I just can't wait for another year for the new season that's when I started reading the manga and even buying my favorite volume which 27 and 28 in the Phantom Liberation War Arc. Even going back to the beginning of the manga it was so detailed and beautiful that Studio Bones really put their blood, sweat and tears to adapt this series. I would also like to Thank sensei Kohei Horikoshi for bringing this amazing world with some much detail and depth. Again Thank you for your vision and imagination to this incredible manga and as one the greatest shonen manga ever!!! (In my opinion) 😅😅😅

P.S. my review and farewell for the anime will be different once it reaches the conclusion.

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999

This was a new refreshing plot in the rom-com anime genre at least for me, (Akane) a goofy overthinking college girl and (Yamada) a pro-gamer high school boy you thought wouldn't work but it does. I love the constant cute silly and chibi like scenes and then the serious scene with detail of the characters, the way they meet is like a Cinderella situation and the side characters have depth to the story for the characters such as Eita and Yukari. Absolutely love this series now we wait for the 2nd season hopefully soon! Hehehe Overall 8.5/10

Masamune-kun Revenge R

The first anime series that I watched since I was just watching ongoing ones, the first season struck my interest because the premise and the twists that comes with it made me like this series. When the second season finally released I was excited but I didn't have the time to. I was expecting a bit more for this second season the first one was a bit slow but I feel like they time jump so much that there's potential for more things could happen especially the paris field trip and the ending. Didn't think it would wrap up the series this season but hey that's the conclusion and I respect it that the fact that we got a second season overall I would give it a 7.5/10 the rom-com ness what said because they are still funny and cute

I have returned!!!

Sorry I've not been active as of late, been watching western series and K-dramas recently but checking upon my anime list I said it's time to watch some anime again and boy I've missed anime and posting here. I've just been busy with work as well so I'll try to post some reviews when I'm free or after finishing a series. I also wanted to say that, I'm still actively watching anime with ongoing series such as MHA, Demon Slayer S4 and Jujutsu Kaisen S2 at the time. Thank you for still reading this unnecessary explanation on why I left and come back... Appreciate all of you who agree or disagree with my reviews of anime series and movies I'll try to be more open and summarize my reviews. Arigato gozaimasu! 🙏😊💯

Oregairu (My Teenage Romance Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected)

After 2 years of its conclusion in the anime adaptation, I recently rewatch the entire series again for the 4th time. From my past post about this anime after watching it for the 4th time I still feel the way as I describe it no matter what they always gets my emotions and feelings that I really enjoy each characters dynamic and chemistry that it felt that I was revisiting old friends.

From season 1's sentaifilm works animation was very anime-ish animation like it was a different anime but it was perfect for S1 to capture the characters personalities. Then studio Feel took over that made them more realistic and authentic that I am greatful for studio Feel to animate both 2nd and 3rd seasons.

The music was also perfect for the series from the opening songs, ending songs and the OST that really bring the emotions from scene to scene. Hikigaya Hachiman came a long way from a socially awkward person with friends to meeting incredible, supportive people, having treasured friends and having a girlfriend at the end was truly a fitting ending but they do animate the Shin manga sequel or the Ketsu I would be happy to watch an sesson 4 or OVAs to truly concluded the story.

Kakegurui Twins

Loved first 2 seasons of the series but this prequel was solid. When I first heard that there would be another kakegurui anime and it was prequel focusing on Mary Saotome's first year that did not disappoint. Saotome was one of my favorites in the main Kakegurui but she was exceptional amazing in this one. Her story and character was entertaining that made me want to watch the first 2 season again, we'll just have to wait again would give this a solid 8.5/10 it was shorter than the previous seasons but it was enough for the story. Honestly I want a second season of this but I would still prefer a 3rd season of Kakegurui 😅

My Dress-Up Darling

Stunningly beautiful as always from Cloverworks' work, love all the characters Kitagawa and Gojo's chemistry is just so vibrant that complements her proactive personality while he is a shy and socially awkward. The plot was interesting but it felt quick 12 episodes wasn't enough. But it was fitting to put the characters being together enjoying life such as going to festivals and the beach. Animation phenomenal especially some of the jiggle physics and unique censored angles. Also they need to dial the ecchi a bit because that love hotel episode was wild, that it almost became a hentai but still cute and funny. Overall 7.5/10

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun)

An Underrated Gem

I've seen clips of them from time to time and finally I watched them. It was very charming I like the characters so much and they are incredibly stupidly funny, a refreshing plot that anyone will love immediately from episode 1. Everyone has its fair share of cluelessness and their personalities just works together each scenarios and situations are cleverly written unlike Nozaki's work. Really enjoyed every episode would give this 8/10 I recommend watch it

P.S. It's been 2014 since it's anime adaptation, now after 8 years still no 2nd season but I am hopeful that will happen. Because the Devil is a part timer released a second season so yeah still believing 🙏🙏🙏

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It. r=1-sinθ

Just finished another season of this smart and scientific romcom anime. Back in 2020, I fell in love with this anime (no pun intended) months after its released I gave it a try and now hoping and praying for another season fast forward to 2022 of April they are back and it felt like I miss a few friends seeing them again. The story's progression was zigzag ride. It like episode 6 should have been the first season's final episode or the second season's but the story continued to a more nonsense situations and clever plot for few episodes. This time it showed how everyone's relationship with their love ones especially Ibarada and Kousuke's they were honestly my favorite and the new characters were also friends but like each other. I was more invested to others relationship that Himuro and Yukimura but they are cute together as always. Kanade was the main plot in this season as well the first half decent but the last 6 episodes was wild and interesting especially that dark twisted final episode.... Would give this 8/10 like last season hoping for another season again it really got interesting that season 3 is gonna be the most awkward and hilarious season yet if they do it.

Domestic Girlfriend

Now I know why people hated this anime and now I just finished it I hated it too but to be honest I am intrigued... Because even with the plot was looking like a hentai without seeing the sex scenes especially the teacher and student relationship and incest step sibling relationship in one plot story was actually unique and smart but the way they executed was a bit rushed that is so bad; And there are characters such as Momo and Alex were left to the sideline like they could have been an obstacle to make yhe story more intense and interesting honestly. Overall 5/10 I didn't felt any sympathy for Natsuo when Hina left and Rui is the best girl in my opinion she deserves absolutely the best and not Natsuo.

Kaguya-sama Love is War: Ultra Romantic

The Perfect and Best Confession EVER!!!

Warning Spoilers

Third season widely popular Kaguya-sama Love is War and each season it gets wackier, over top exaggerated situations, while keeping our favorite characters develop courage and confidence to confess at their crushes. I love the progressive plot from the student council from Ishigami confessing to his crush, to Shirogane went above and beyond confessing to Kaguya it was the cutest, sweetest, most unique, convoluted confession EVER including in real life. Shuchiin Culture Festival is probably the best arc that really jumpstarted their relationships overall 9/10 a solid season they get better and better after each season and the animation as well from opening and especially the ending video stunning colors.

P.S. Can't wait for the movie and hopefully 4th season not unless they ended it at the movie

Made in Abyss Movie: Dawn of the Deep Soul (Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei)

I skipped the first two movies because it was recap but this one is an sequel after the events of first season. I expected to be a dark movie but the twists and what happened to a certain character was just brutally painful and this anime always got me hitting the feels of sadness. Prushka was such a cheerful and kind hearted character that it is painful to see on her backstory. And the fight between Reg and Bondrewd was amazing overall 7.5/10 it's an amazing movie that truly is great sequel to the first season

HunterxHunter

Spoiler and Controversial Review!!!

I've been completely honest for every anime review I did this maybe a risky one but I'm not afraid to tell my own opinions about the anime. Hunter x Hunter is a widely popular anime that many people absolutely loved it I'm one of those people but I was disappointed for some of the parts and I tell explain why... But before I'm gonna explain why I love the series likable characters, funny and enjoyable character interactions and even the evil ones I grown to like such as Hisoka, Meruem and the entire Spider Phantom Troupe members, with epic fights such as Chrollo vs Killua's Father and Grandfather and Gon vs Hisoka those are my top fights throughout the series. My favorite characters are Killua and Kurapika followed by Gon and Leorio. Now to the negative aspect of this review, the plot was intriguing but the pacing of the each arc was so slow season 1 and 3 was my favorite because the hunter exam was amazing and the Spider Phantom Troupe arc was amazing but they all have in common the ending was a huge disappointment for me. Each arc they always end things an unrewarding was especially the Chimera Arc, I was so hyoed up that I heard that this was the best arc ever but it was amazing for the second half of the arc the first 30 episodes was a slow built to a complete war for humanity but Ant King was the most powerful character I've seen throughout the series but he died to an unrewarding way that was sad I felt bad for him. That was my own and honest opinion about HxH don't get the wrong way I absolutely love this series but I expected to be more 7/10 hopefully we get another season and prayers for the author's health 🙏🙏🙏
