Yowayowa Sensei is easily in my top 5 anime of all time: everything is perfectly balanced, the art and animation are beautiful, and it features a MAGNIFICENT opening and ending—I love them! These kinds of cheerful, funny opening and ending sequences are a refreshing change from the usual fare. It’s the sort of anime you rarely find these days because people criticize *ecchi*—which is handled perfectly here (though I’d argue you can never have too much of it!). Beyond the great plot and the innocent, cute romance amidst all that glorious perversion, the characters have rare and original personalities. In short: this anime offers plenty ...

Mild and unspecific spoilers.

After halfway through episode 3 I was ready to give up on this show but then I found the speed control. 11 episodes in and 2x speed makes it much better. It stopped the constantly frustrated feeling that the show was written for or by children. So much dead air. I'm not soaking in the vibes though at times the visuals are quite beautiful. It's not comfortable silence because it's sandwiched by filler/meaningless dialogue every episode that could be better used.

Bungou Stray Dogs Season 1 features an impeccable and consistent visual production, introductory worldbuilding and some unexpectedly successful drama, all the while laying the foundation for the important conflicts of the series to come, I assume at least as much.

Visuals, from background art to choreography are incredibly consistent, likely the reason for the short episode count, there are also a few examples of very successfully blending 3D and 2D, which I hope is a sign of things to come.

As for the fights themselves, Bungou Stray Dogs Season 1 does suffer from the hesitant posture of the very first iteration of a story, Ryunosuke and Nakajima ... can't have a deathmatch yet, and they don't. In short, the story holds back with essentially all of its action in this season, from characters with regenerative abilities who don't take much damage anyway, to characters with deadly, assassin type abilities who don't maim or disfigure their opponents or even injure them meaningfully, there is a feeling, above all else that we aren't really seeing any of these characters as they truly are in combat and it's only natural for the story to shed this skin later.

Musically, the first season is quite varied for a twelve episode run time, featuring traditional as well as hip-hop and rock influenced tracks with some standout vocal incorporation.

The humor of the series is, so far, very slapstick, which can be hit or miss. Tonally, however, there is a question about how this brand of comedy and the sometimes overbearing lighthearted tone of the series will mesh with the, at times, very serious subject matter, which will continue to demand a more and more respectful and mature handling as the series progresses.

As far as characters go, there is a lot to celebrate, first of all, this series introduces the core cast with a snappy pace that makes sure that everyone gets a part of the limited screen time, from Tanizaki to Rampo to Yosano and even someone like Higuchi.
As for the core, primary gallery, the series manages some quite impressive intrigue, drama and conflict for all of them, especially between Doppo and Ozamu and obviously Nakajima and Akutagawa.

The pacing of this first season is very respectful, there is no arrogance here, this season is mostly either mapping out the characters in broader strokes and setting up the, likely, defining conflicts of the series to come.
Also, the ending of the first season feels very much like it was intended to be the first half of a 25 or so episode season, which means that there is no real "climax", again, likely done to preserve the visual standards of the show.

My Isekai Life: A Promising Story Held Back by a Weak Adaptation

My Isekai Life (Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life) is an interesting example of an anime adaptation that feels considerably weaker than the potential of its source material.

At first glance, the series has many of the ingredients of an enjoyable fantasy adventure: an intriguing world, powerful monsters, mysterious artifacts, dragons, magic, and a protagonist with unusual abilities. The manga and light novel have plenty of material to work with, and the franchise itself has achieved impressive circulation.

Unfortunately, the anime often fails to communicate that potential effectively.

No character is likeable. I couldn't even tolerate the lesbian option because she was so male-centered and fujoshi-brained that it made her just as bad as the main character Kae.

I finished Yatagarasu in two days and I’m still thinking about it. This is easily one of the most intelligent and underrated anime of 2024, and it’s a crime that more people aren’t talking about it.

I went into this not knowing it was a vacation promo short (at first anyway, it becomes increasingly obvious as it progresses), and for what it was, I was fairly entertained. The animation off the bat looks very clean, and the background environments look gorgeous - considering the whole point is to sell you on taking your next holiday here, I suppose that makes sense.

Ichigo Aika: Zatsu de Namaiki na Imouto to Warikirenai Ani (Anime) add (All reviews)

Sep 7, 2026

Lord_Romzess_V

For me, the most interesting thing about Ichigo Aika is not even the absence of actual sex. Throughout the series, the relationship between the main pair develops through closeness, trust, awkwardness, vulnerability, and mutual understanding.

I especially liked Kōta. He is protective, caring, and attentive, yet never seeks anything in return or turns his care into a way of controlling others. These qualities make viewers see him as the “perfectly good guy.” But there is something deeply human about him that makes me think his character may be deeper than it first appears.

Aika, meanwhile, is presented to us as sharp, complicated, and at times downright unbearable. ... But behind her prickly behavior, a completely different side gradually begins to emerge — vulnerable, in need of care and acceptance. And in large part because of the way Kōta treats her, she begins to understand that she can be this way around someone without becoming weak.

I really liked the fact that after moments of intimacy, their relationship does not fall apart. Awkwardness, fear, and tension do not automatically turn into either sex or tragedy. They keep talking, trying to understand each other, and remaining close.

In that sense, Ichigo Aika felt to me more like an erotic romantic story that somehow got released in hentai format than ordinary hentai with a plot in between the scenes — like Nukitashi and, most notably, its specials, which were apparently classified as “erotica” by some gross clerical error...

At the same time, I think it is far too easy to simply call Kōta a “too-good-to-be-true guy.” There is one particular scene that made me look at him differently.

What I saw there was not a perfect, morally flawless hero, but a genuinely frightened boy.

His reaction made me wonder whether he places an unusually high value on personal boundaries and on intimacy itself. And that is precisely why this moment is more interesting to me than the mere fact that the story avoids sex: Kōta is confronted with a kind of closeness that seems genuinely significant to him, and he doesn't quite know how to deal with it.

I really want the authors to let this side of Kōta develop further. I want them to show that he is not made of steel either, and that behind his firm boundaries there may be fears, desires, and vulnerabilities of his own. In my opinion, this could develop into a much deeper story than “he’s just a virgin,” and become no less significant a storyline than the one we are shown through Aika in the first season.

And above all, I would especially like to see that the two of them genuinely want to help each other deal with what they have been carrying as a result of their past and circumstances.

I even have a fairly specific expectation for how the story and the relationship between the characters might develop from here. Honestly, for a genre like this, it would almost be a precedent if the story ultimately avoided falling into one of the common plot resolutions of the adult entertainment industry. But that is the authors’ decision.

For now, I will be watching this story very closely.

Attack on Titan is like that one horse meme where the tail-end is drawn exceptionally well, and then it gets progressively worse once you reach the head. Season 1 was so successful in 2013 that the mangaka, and the Production Committees at the time, wanted to squeeze the cash-cow dry.

This adaptation of Berserk was simply very good. I loved the art style it went for, and was only slightly disappointing by the lackluster CGI and missing parts.

Before that, I want to give major appreciation to CoMix Wave for doing an amazing job creating anime with god-tier visuals and cinematography like Suzume no Tojimari and Makoto Shinkai's other works.

The music collaboration with Radwimps is also extraordinary. Considering that Radwimps has been on board since Your Name, I thought they had past their prime—but that turned out not to be the case.

Cute, but not perfect.

I mostly liked Rilakkuma. I found it an imaginative short, with a gorgeous art style. There is no continuity, or deep themes, and nothing that would be of concern for a 3-year-old. Each episode is essentially a short sketch, with actual content of 1 minutes, and about 30 seconds of ending credits.

While fun, it won't be for everyone. In my opinion it is a little short, and would be ideal at about 3 minutes, plus ending credits. As it is, it would work well for children, or slotting between other anime episodes as a cleanser.

While I do stand by the rating of (8) for this first season, I can't simply ignore what comes after. And that's an okay-ish follow up with S2 that already starts going off the rails, and by the time you get into S3 the train is diving into the ocean. There's a couple of episodes worth watching in Part 2 of Season 3 that are well worth watching and among the peak of the series, but only because they're essentially a delayed ending to S2. Everything after that just gets worse, and worse, and worse...

At the end of the day this is a show ... with an exceptional high-concept premise. S1 not only delivers on that premise but offers one of the most gripping episode-to-episode experiences. I actually can't think of a show that held my attention so intently since... maybe S1 of Prison Break. Ironically another show that could only handle it for a season until it broke down into almost comical storylines.

Isayama himself admitted he wanted the ending of Attack on Titan to be extremely bleak but needed to change gears because the first show in 2013 exploded in popularity and created a brand that had to be properly mined and exploited. Though the statement itself is already a red flag because what the material he wrote early on lends itself more to shounen territory. So what was the plan there? To have a story that was all about how you should always fight even against impossible odds only to end it in some everyone-dies bleakness? As you can tell, he's kind of a dumbass, and this non-spoiler of his original intent should give you a good idea of what kind of mind you're dealing with. In the end what you get is a complete fucking Frankenstein's monster of a story. It changes tonally on a whim and completely rewrites characters routinely to fit whatever plot is unfolding. Thematic consistency is non-existent.

Oh, and I FORGOT the worst thing about this show that gets WAY WORSE over time. The constant plot conveniences that exist just to drive the story forwards. There's one character that, no joke, probably gets defeated like five times and keeps magically getting rescued by plot armor. The worst offender by far though is structuring it in such a way that the payoff that should emerge after many of these narrative arcs just doesn't come. As a made up example, imagine a show spending a good chunk of time trying to capture a spy to get information on who he is working for... only for him to swallow a cyanide pill at the last moment. This is fine if it happens in a movie and everything from the setup to the execution is 10-15 mins. But when you wait SEVERAL HOURS for that to conclude only to get nothing? It is a total slap in the face. And this kind of amateur hour writing is rife throughout.

Unless you can compartimentalize like a god, I'd say just stay away from the whole thing. You will feel obligated to watch countless episodes that go absolutely nowhere. I skipped the entirety of S3 Part 1 when I realized what it'd be and went forward with a brief summary. And that summary turned out to be completely unnecessary because Part 2 just goes over the crucial information anyway, so that's real top tier storytelling right there.

Even if you suspect you disagree with my estimation of the later seasons, the one thing I can warn you about as an objective metric is that by S4 you are watching an entirely different show. It's like starting in early One Piece and ending up in end-game Gantz.

Now, talking about the main characters, we have Ookami, who is a classic tsundere girl. She's explosive and short-tempered, but deep down, she's actually quite delicate. She has this personality because of a traumatic experience she went through in middle school. I won't go into details because it would be a spoiler. This subplot ... involving her is explored and developed throughout the story alongside the requests for help that the Otogi Bank receives from other students.

As for the protagonist, we have Ryoushi, a guy who suffers from social anxiety and openly confessed his love to Ookami. (This isn't even really a spoiler, since it happens within the first few minutes of the first episode.) After confessing, he ends up joining the Otogi group to help other people while also trying to become a better person so he can stay by Ookami's side, since she doesn't want someone weak and cowardly beside her. So, overall, the anime is about the two protagonists improving themselves and overcoming their personal problems while helping other people along the way.

The anime has an open ending. There is no definitive conclusion, and throughout the series, most episodes focus on comedy and the Otogi Bank helping people, without much time being dedicated to developing the relationship between the main characters. However, despite the limited amount of development between them, we can still see a significant improvement in both of their personalities. Ookami becomes more confident and becomes more comfortable with Ryoushi's presence, while Ryoushi becomes braver and no longer suffers from social anxiety as severely as he did before. I consider that a positive aspect.

But what irritated me the most about this anime was the narrator. She's extremely intrusive. I understand that some series use a narrator, but in this anime, she is constantly talking over the characters, explaining useless things and sometimes even repeating something that has already been said. There are moments when you actually lose focus on what's important because of her, to the point where you have to rewind certain scenes just to understand what the characters were talking about because the narrator simply DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP.

I also have to mention that I thought a certain comedy scene was really cool, where there is a crossover featuring Taiga from Toradora! and her friends, as well as Misaka Mikoto and her friends from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. It's a very brief comedic scene that lasts around 10 seconds, but I found it interesting given the context.

To wrap things up... I thought the anime was pretty good overall, despite the annoying narrator. I just wish they had focused a little more on developing the relationship between the two protagonists. Also, this anime has never received a continuation since it was released. Yes, this comment is being written in 2026, 16 years after the anime originally aired, and it still hasn't received a continuation. The manga has probably already finished by now, but the TV series itself will most likely never get a proper ending.

What Bleach always excels in in style. The opening sequence of TYBW Part 4 demonstrates this perfectly with immaculate directing choices, hard cuts that break up monotony of typical anime choices, soaring drone shots creating momentum and a score that carries so much weight and momentum. The orchestration is phenomenal, recorded clearly with a live ensemble and clearly following the scene which is incredibly rare for seasonal anime. However, this lasts for about 5 minutes before staling and leaving the audience with nothing to grasp onto.

While watching this show it is significantly more enjoyable to ignore the dialogue as it actively takes away from the ...

Good looking and well animated.
Full of funny moments, good action and thrill, mysterious scenario and backstory.
The way that magic is presented in the classroom by the replacement teacher is interesting and more so how it works in this world.
Although not explored that much the variables in how it works is cool.
The characterization of each personality is good, there was a vast cast but ofcourse still limited.
There was even a character in specific that was a big lookalike on another popular anime that I wondered where this was going.

**Cowboy Bebop — Review**

*Cowboy Bebop* foi uma obra de que gostei bastante, principalmente pela forma como consegue misturar uma boa dose de *slice of life* com histórias mais profundas e momentos de ação. Ao longo do anime, a maioria dos episódios consegue funcionar muito bem por si só, mas, ao mesmo tempo, vai desenvolvendo os personagens e criando uma história maior por trás de tudo.

Um dos maiores pontos positivos para mim foram os personagens. O Spike é obviamente o centro da obra, e o mistério em torno do seu passado foi algo que me manteve bastante interessado. A forma como o anime vai revelando aos ... poucos o que aconteceu com ele faz com que a sua história seja cada vez mais envolvente, principalmente quando começamos a perceber a ligação dele com o seu passado.

No entanto, os personagens de que mais gostei foram a **Faye** e o **Jet Black**. Ambos têm passados muito interessantes, e achei que o anime trabalhou muito bem as suas histórias. A Faye, principalmente, tem uma história bastante trágica, e a maneira como ela lida com a perda do seu passado e com a própria identidade torna a personagem bastante interessante. Já o Jet tem um passado mais ligado à sua antiga vida como polícia e às relações que deixou para trás, o que também ajuda bastante a desenvolver a sua personalidade.

Por outro lado, senti que **Ein e Ed** não tiveram tanto destaque quanto poderiam ter tido. Apesar de serem personagens divertidos e contribuírem bastante para a dinâmica da tripulação, achei que as suas histórias e personalidades poderiam ter sido mais exploradas. Não considero isso um grande problema, mas é algo que senti que poderia ter sido melhor aproveitado.

Outro ponto que gostei bastante foi a **trilha sonora**. A música combina perfeitamente com a atmosfera de *Cowboy Bebop* e ajuda muito a criar a identidade da obra. O estilo musical encaixa-se muito bem tanto nos momentos mais descontraídos como nos momentos mais dramáticos.

E falando do final, acho que os **dois últimos episódios são facilmente a melhor parte do anime**. O encerramento da história do Spike é muito marcante e consegue dar um peso enorme a tudo o que foi construído anteriormente. Foi justamente por causa desses episódios que a minha nota sobe de um 8 para um **9**.

No geral, considero *Cowboy Bebop* um anime consistentemente bom. Durante praticamente toda a obra, eu daria um **8**, porque mantém uma qualidade bastante estável e apresenta bons personagens, histórias interessantes, uma excelente atmosfera e uma ótima trilha sonora. Porém, os seus momentos finais elevam bastante a experiência e fazem com que, no conjunto, eu considere que merece um **9/10**.

**Nota: 9/10**

Actually made me dissapointed.

The drawing style was pretty and so the soundtracks too, but that’s all. Male lead acted so weird, it almost felt like he manipulated female lead into developing feelings for him. In some scenes the female lead acted more proactive and manly than a male lead.

If you’re looking for cozy, “warm as a hug”, fuzzy feelings giving romance this will dissapoint. And the ending? Pretty much the same as many other average romances, nothing unique.

If you’re looking for anime with a lot of male lead teasing, flirt and weird behaviour than maybe this is for you. The anime itself didn’t have much ...

Burn Up! W (Anime) add (All reviews)

“Burn Up! W” is what happens when the creators want to blue ball you to oblivion.

I have no idea if it’s because of the ecchi humor, the inability of the show to take itself seriously for 75% of it’s runtime or the absolute shit show on display but this show has no right being this interesting as it is. Please understand something, “interesting” does not mean “good”. Unfortunately this mini series is a victim of the zeitgeist of the 90s, both in plot and story.

Before we start I would like to explain something. I will be talking about “plot” and “story”. Many people use these ... terms interchangeably. I’m not one of those people, so to make sure everyone is on the same page…
PLOT is the surface-level events. What, when, where, how and why (externally) things are happening.
STORY is why (internally) things are happening and what internally happens to the character during the plot.

The main problem this mini series has is that it has only 4 episodes and wasted 2,5 of them for world building and character introductions. Something that could have been done pretty well in 1, max 1,5, episode. The first episode actually does a solid job of that, we get an idea about what 3 out of 5 members of the Warrior team are about. After little rewriting you could easily fit a serviceable introduction to the whole team in just one episode leaving more time for the good stuff. Yes, there is good stuff in this, unfortunately it’s mostly in the second half of the 3rd episode and in episode 4.

From the very first episode the OVA sets up an overarching plot about a crime syndicate wanting to deal with a rather unique drug. The second episode expands on that and add some cyborg shenanigans to the mix. That’s actually interesting. I wanted to know who those people are, who is really in charge, what are they about and how will their plans be foiled by the main cast. Well too bad. We get almost nothing on that front. What we do get gives us no answers because the episode ends 3 minutes later and even the main cast is blue balled by the higher ups.

The first 2,5 episodes are almost all comedy with little mystery drama when the syndicate is on screen, they establish few things:
- this show will most likely not be a serious one
- it will be over the top (they even parodied Neon Genesis Evangelion’s Eva mech)
- Rio (POV character and the only member of the warrior squad that really matters in those 4 episodes) will get on my nerves (she did but she actually redeemed herself in the last episode)
Those episodes set up a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of things both plot and story wise. They set up a crime syndicate and its interests, they set up the main squad, the existence of combat androids, AI idols, some of the standard police members and… they do nothing with them. The whole episode 2 is just a waste of time in terms of long term consequences. Nothing that was introduced in that episode follows to the next. Ok, that’s not true, we get a new team member that we know almost nothing about and who is basically useless for the rest of the OVA (and she was useless even in her introductory episode). It’s a shame because from the second part of episode 3 the fun starts and doesn’t really stop till the end.

The second part of episode 3 shifts the vibe of the OVA completely. Before we got almost all comedy with no consequences, now we have a real, pretty solid, action drama. It starts with the death of someone close to the member of the Warrior squad (Rio) and that death impacts her behavior in a major way. That was the moment I knew this OVA can be special, that the writers weren’t complete hacks and understand the need of contrast, even in comedy. I dared to hope that maybe, just maybe, the grand finale won’t be a cheap joke that kills all the drama that is set up. You know what? For the first time in a long time, I was not disappointed.

Episode 4 goes all in on drama, Rio’s emotional turmoil and action. Yes, we do get some humor in all this but it’s used sparingly and actually in some good moments to release some tension that was building from the start of the episode. Judging by the previous 3 episodes I would not expect that this OVA has writers that can pull something like that of. I am so glad to be wrong. This whole episode is what the show from episode 2 should have been. Even if we are going for the comedy aspect. It gives characters motivation, gives them (ok, just Rio) moments of character development and above all else, the characters finally have a solid goal. Yes, a reactive one, but this is the type of a reactive goal that does intertwine with a proactive one. Is it good? For the world that we witnessed up to this point and the internal logic of it, I would say it is. Rio really shines in this episode, she’s no longer a comic relief that happens to be our POV character and becomes a heroine worth our attention. Someone I actually wanted to see have screen time and how will she react in this situation.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day this is not a proper story or character driven OVA, it relies almost completely on it’s plot to push things forward. It doesn’t make it bad, just bland. You can find enjoyment in watching it, just don’t get your hopes up.

[Joker voice] This show is pretty great and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I think its current sub-7 rating does this an enormous disservice. The mix between genuine, well executed horror and incredibly endearing moments of, as previous reviewer mentioned, self-acceptance, and then hilarious gags is very well executed and engaging. In lesser hands, the swerves between a gory history of betrayal and revenge and a benevolent mountain god intervening in the lives of those who live around her in silly little ways that make all the difference would be liable to give you whiplash. Here, it just feels natural. Put simply, both parallel stories ...

Non Non Biyori is a rare example of an anime that executes its vision perfectly, yet still falls just short of a 10/10—and that is entirely by design. Spanning both seasons, it is an incredibly solid, highly enjoyable series that knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers on that promise without missing a beat.

The primary reason it doesn't reach masterpiece status is simply that it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It doesn't necessarily stand out with crazy plot twists, high-stakes drama, or a wildly unique premise. It is purely a standard slice-of-life anime, but it proves that lacking a groundbreaking hook does ...

Mushoku Tensei continues to stand above all other isekai because it actually understands how to build a believable world and believable characters.

The characters feel like real people, with their own intelligence, motivations, flaws, and goals. They don't exist simply to make the MC look powerful, and their decisions have genuine consequences.

Rudeus is also a refreshing protagonist because he doesn't simply **brute-force every obstacle** with an overpowered ability. Despite his strengths, there are problems he can't solve through raw power. He has to think, adapt, rely on others, make mistakes, and live with the consequences of his choices. His development feels earned rather than artificially ...

Season one is fine, even though there are questionable events that make no sense. The other side of the gate is supposed to be another world so they have different races and their own language, but with common Japanese habit and practices making the whole thing incoherent.

Additionally, there is the usual harem cliché around the main protagonist which annoys me badly. But what is really disturbing is that it seems ok for the whole production to clearly let and approve some pedo interests in the story. Simply disgusting. Also the reason I've dropped this garbage.
