Parasyte -the maxim-

Mar 23, 2024

Overall the anime was entertaining, had cool original factors and the series made sense to only have season. Short and sweet. I enjoyed the animation style, speed and delivery of the content but wished there was more of a back story about why he was chosen to be a Parasyte's host in contrast to someone else but that's neither here nor there. i enjoyed seeing the blood and gore; the graphics were really crisp and clear. Overall it's a good series to watch in its entirety or to binge.

Mushishi

Jul 30, 2023

Great anime that is unique in its own way. I really enjoyed how artistic the animation throughout the series was, season 2 the quality was much better however the stories were not as rich as seasons 1 imo. I wished they series would've explored how Ginko obtained his knowledge to be considered a Mushi master and they could've also added more reoccurring characters and again explain more of Ginko's past. Im bummed about the series being only 2 seasons, I feel that 3 seasons would have done it more Justice but overall a great anime.

Afro Samurai

Jul 2, 2023

It's a super short series for a reason but I checked it out to get it off my list. The storyline was predictable from the very beginning, as a result of the series being so short their really isn't much character growth or depth but if you watch it solely as entertainment it would be better. pros: The animation style was interesting. The episodes are short in duration. A black lead samurai. cons: Series short. Limited characters. Not much known about the protagonists past... Its one of those animes that either should've made as a full length anime with several epi but to each their own, in certain... See full review

Dororo (2019)

May 16, 2023

I found this anime through AP recommendation. I enjoyed that it was a short series but the plot made little sense to me. A lot of it seemed slightly random and slightly not so structured. The fighting scenes were awesome, very gorey and  HQ; the storyline was not so much. It's a good anime to watch as a filler and if you want to see something that's out of the mainstream anime.

Girls' Last Tour

Apr 7, 2023

I had read the first 3 manga and couldn't get a hold of the next manga... i watched the anime and felt content. The anime is random and laid back. Easy to consume and light hearted. 12 episodes is the perfect # of episodes for an anime like this.

Last Exile

Mar 26, 2023

I watched this anime because AP recommended it and I was looking to watch something different in style and short in epi!#s. Last exile was "okay", it wasn't my type of anime but I watched the episodes to try to understand the storyline. Idk, if it was the animation style, the aesthetics, the tile period the series was based in or a combination of those and other small things that caused it to earn a 6/10 from me. Cons: It lacked entertainment. Lacked character growth or development. Animation style. Genre maybe? I really didn't learn anything from watching this anime. Pros: I finally... See full review

Nana

Feb 4, 2023

👏🏿👏🏾This anime deserves its 10/10. I discovered Nana via Google searching "women led anime"... It appeared on one of the first links I clicked on and tbh, I didn't read the summary, I went soley off of the anime's default pic and sheer optimism. I'm extremely happy that I did just that! Pros: 1)Nana is a genuine, slice of life anime that at times felt more authentic than real life, because of the subject matter (ie cheating, being broke, being uncertain of one self..). I have never watched an anime that was real about showing many of these life experiences the way... See full review

Bunny Drop

Dec 10, 2022

I enjoyed watching this anime and wished it was longer. The content, the characters and the storyline were all realistic and practical. I was enthralled from the very first epi and was captivated at the whole single middle aged male raising female child dynamic. I'm happy that this series didn't make it seem creepy or have any other weird pedo undertones the way many other Japanese anime usually do! Bravo!

Cowboy Bebop

Dec 5, 2022

The series was entertaining to watch and of course the mix of sci-fi w/ western bounty hunters was the icing on the cake! However the series had some clear shortcomings (i will not spoil it for anyone) but it seems like after a couple of episodes they've lost direction and started making random episodes that didn't really tie to the anime's overall theme. 
Aside from that the series for what it is and the time it was produced is interesting. No need for a another season or movie IMO.

Re:ZERO: Starting Life in Another World

Nov 15, 2022

I initially dropped this series because of ... reasons but after watching season 2 it regained my interest. Seasons 1 and 2 are different from one another but they do build up from one another as well and showed character growth, deeper bounds and more depth. The animation style was crisp and the fighting scenes seem great too. I'm not sure if I'll watch season 3 but I enjoyed the first 2 for what they were. A unique twist to a coming of age anime from various POV.

Tales from Earthsea

Nov 6, 2022

Fascinating, great storyline and character growth filled with nuggets of wisdom and the overall connectivity of humans, species and nature as one large organism. This film was entertaining; it showcased many of the other themes that Studio Ghibli film's share but in a semi more modern way. cons: none pros: It's filled with wisdom points (life and death), sense of community and belonging amongst other elements. I enjoyed watching this movie and the length seemed just right!

Akira

Nov 6, 2022

This film was ahead of its time and is a classic in many regards! I've now watched the film twice (once when I was a child and now as an adult); as a child I couldn't comprehend the complexity, the political components now as an adult I observed many of the nuances that I originally was unaware of. i couldn't make sense of the film to be honest. 

Con:  There wasn't enough dialogue or character growth though this film is 124 minutes in duration. Pros: Futuristic sci--fi animation for a film from the 1980s, it's politically rich in content, it covers some societies social ills... See full review

Honey and Clover

Oct 10, 2022

I read the first 3 manga and figured to watch the anime because the manga seemed interesting, however as the anime went on I lost interest. It's a slow burn and the story has areas that is heartfelt and genuine but there was just something about this anime I disinterested me but I kept watching to complete the series. Cons: I wish the anime didn't focus too much on girl sterotypes. There was really no strong female lead; the element of the kiddie looking 18 yo also creeped me out, it was giving off pedo... know it's great that the series was created by a woman but what's the point of the main focus were...

The Secret World of Arrietty

Sep 25, 2022

This film was entertaining, i wished it was a little longer, there was so much more that could've of been showcased. Overall, the film was easy to consume and follow along to. The characters were believable and relatable. Without spoiling the film, maybe there are real life little people hiding under our apartments and homes, we just have to discover  and befriend them. 😅😅

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Sep 21, 2022

MORE PRINCESS NAUSICAA and Princess Mononoke!
This movie is entertaining and brilliant for when it was released in the 80s. Not many films from the west atleast covered the depth that Nausicaa portrayed. 1) she is a smart, brave and charismatic protagonist. 2) she cared for her community along with the insects and viewed them as equals from when she was a little girl while the older people did not see the insects as equals. 3) the paradigm of humans, nature and insects is crucial. 4) tribal wars = death to societies and the human race. It's wild seeing how many of these elements are still an issue... See full review

I finally watched this brilliant film. My review is as it is because of how much effort, depth, and layers that were incorporated into the movie for the time that it was realized. The film can be interpreted in many different ways but to keep this review short lol, i really liked how it ties nature, humans and animals together because at the end of the day everything comes back down to those 3 elements. Though they were all adversaries depending on the circumstances, the film was captivating from the very beginning and it kept you glued until the very end.

ReLIFE

Aug 31, 2022

The anime was entertaining, I stumbled on it via googling anime similar to kokoro connect, that were also short. It's a slow burn however many of the episodes had depth to them and really hit home to real life( ie adulting, learning from last mistakes, bullying at work, sexual harrsssement/ misogyny); the characters were diverse in personality and stories as well which all contributed to the overall story of life everyday as if it's your last and create memories. i also liked how the main character Kai wasn't a creepy sexist pervert, he was a mature and sensible gentleman from beginning to the end.

Sailor Moon

Aug 18, 2021

Sailor Moon is a fun classic anime. Its original in a lot of ways like being one of the first anime that's all girls. I enjoy the anime a lot because the episodes are moderately dark and really funny and random at times. 

I like how they kept adding more characters along the way and you grow with Sailor Moon and her friends with each adventure. i dropped the series simply because many of the episodes begin to seem redundant & overly predictable similarly to Pokemon. Overall I am a fan of the series and will always support #GirlPower!

Some of the episodes are forgettable and a couple are memorable because of the content and or special effects.   I wish the series was a little bit longer so they i could learn more about the characters backgrounds and such.   The graphics seemed very experimental with lots of varying texture which makes the visual more appealing and memorable.   Because the series is so short I feel that you didn’t see any of the characters growth, it seemed very...

Interesting anime, despite the series being only 12 episodes long you are able to grow with the protagonist Vivy/Diva...  i didn't have any expectations for the anime, a friend recommended it and I was hooked from the very first minutes of the first episodes. the episodes are standalones but it is smarter to follow the entire story if you watch each episode in order. 
Pros: great animation, badass fighting scenes and it's a bit gorey, also I like that it's women lead. Futuristic metropolis gone array when AI w/ AI superiority mindsets lol. cons: They could've added more characters... See full review

Wonder Egg Priority Special Edition

They dropped the ball for this special. The first 20 or so minutes was another rehashed recap of everything and the final 20 minutes showed more distractions then solved existing questions. :/ I'm confused about what I watch but still hope for some sort of miracle season 2.

FLIP FLAPPERS

May 9, 2021

It’s a short anime. The first epi sort of reminded me WEP vibes but after that it went straight Kill La Kill and Neon Genesis action with little to no depth between the characters😯😯😐.
I just wished there was deeper context. It seems pretty superficial and fake in terms of the characters dynamics. But I give it credit for being female led.

WEP is complex, deep, modern and necessary anime! the anime is covering a lot of personal issues for people like (ie self harming, being a single parent, death, trans identity) from a female cast! i really enjoy each episode and mainly wish that some episodes were much longer in length! everyone has trauma however all of our trauma vary and not all of them torment us for life! its a heartfelt series which is incredibly rare since many anime are male focused and action based/ they’re shallow and entertaining but you don’t learn anything from them.

The series was exhilarating during some episodes but other episodes it seemed redundant.
I only watched the first episode. The first season could've ended after he beat Peaguses. The remaining 5 episodes seemed like fillers. They could've also expanded on the background of the characters.

Another was an “okay” anime. Many of the episodes were gory and full of blood but even that too was intense and a bit excessive 😬😬😬😬. But anyways, I enjoyed the original concept of the series about a curse existing in a classroom ... I wish the series explored more about the characters BG; most of it was surface based and shallow connections which doesn’t give the characters depth or make you feel sad when they die 😅😅. Epi 8&9 were hardcore and fast paced but the others especially 12 seemed soo rush and predictable. All in all the series... See full review

The series was short but it explored a lot of issues (ie lonliness, broken families, poverty, unrequited loves/ crushes) lol basically the plethora of problems associated with adolescence but from a male POV. Overall it was enjoyable to watch the characters develope, change and their internal battles but I disliked the constant references where the female characters are being kissed or preyed upon without their consent but maybe it’s a Japanese norm. Not a fan of those rapist/ creep like behaviors. Aside from that it’s an good anime for Jazz, blues fans which shines more exposure of African... See full review
