It rare that season 2 exceeds season one but they managed it.  The characters were great and the story line fun.  Even though misunderstanding is the constant gag and you think it will get old they keep it fresh.  We learn more about the world and Cids influence and several more shadow characters.  The art work, the sound around the fight scenes all good.  Its my third favorite of the year but the ending has me crying for the third season to come out.  I kinda expected he would be misplaced but not to where he was misplace.  What great is that there can now be new...

This is my stupid but fun anime of the year.  Mia's the only reason I watch this anime but she's such an entertaining character.  She's trying to save herself in the do over but is only doing it for selfish reason's yet it is working.  I would of thought it would get old but they are managing to let her grow in character but slowly.  They have now thrown in a new plot twist that could make it more interesting depending how they develop it but it will redirect her efforts so that its not just a one trick anime.  I wish they would put more effort into the other characters and not have...

My favorite anime of the Summer season 2023.  The dective story's were interesting pieced together well.  The characters were all introduced well and written well even the characters needing the help.  It had a comedy between its main characters that flowed with the stories.  I liked the dark design fitting well with both the characters and the story.  I am looking forward to a second season.  Best Character Tsugaru Shinuchi his comedic sparring with others made the story fun.  Favorite crime the last it had the most action, best reason and most complex.  Although Aya...

Loved the original Bride, Season 2 was really good in other ways.  It was great to see futher development of the characters.  The school setting was less beautiful but  interesting.  I liked the addition of Lucy and Philomela.  Philomela is the story I am most interested in learning about.  Alice is more interesting when supporting Chise, I'm not really feeling her own story.  The growth of Elias was the most fun.  Chise's growth is much slower but now we know about a evil in her.  I hope they continue the series and we find out more and maybe eventually they...

This is just a fun story with good fight scenes. The brother sister love is weird but I don't feel over done.  Some of the characters are weak but the Three Main characters make up for the other's weakness.  Its always satisfying when Asahi realizes his sister only looking out for him.   Its also satisfying when Maya and Kilmaria go at it or work together.  I am not going to say this was one of the best this season but if you want something entertaining you can breeze thru I recomend taking a watch.

This is my favorite romance of the Season.  The couple actually mature throughout the story.  It is a good love story.  The kids and other characters do wholesome things and are cute but the romance is what makes it fullfilling.  Its negatives would be it is overly wholesome and the animation is only OK.  There is no major drama just minor issues but it is so heart warming watching them fall in love.  If you are into romance I highly recommend it.

  The story is about a group of adventures that were hurt by others and have problems trusting.  They form there own group and become talented adventures.  When they do trust each other they become more powerful.  So they start trusting each other almost imediately.  The unique thing is that they each maintain their own hobbies when not adventuring.  This would be a good not great story if the animation was decent.  The animation and sound are what mainly drags this down.  The characters for the most part are interesting and the plot is also interesting.  They...

My biggest disapointment of the Winter 23 season.  It starts off with a great 2 episodes and then progressively goes down hill.  There is no character development after introducing the character's.  The animation and sound are good but nothing ground breaking just not bad.  There is only one other good fight scene after episode 2.  Everything follows normal troupes.  There is no relationship development.  There is constant political dialogue.  No emphasis on why anyone believes what they believe other than it was written that way.  The brother and sister suddenly...

Overall a generic anime, if it wasn't for the relationship between Fran and Teacher with Fran being obnoxiously cute the anime would fail.  That ending cat suit raised my rating another half point.  In general the story is average with a twist, the Isekaied character is the Main character's side kick so its not really an isekai.  We are following Fran a black cat that is trying to evolve.  Teacher the isekaied character is her teacher.  The battles are average, all the other characters are average and the story is generic but the rifiling between Fran and teacher is great and Fran...

I'm a big Shield hero fan, I have all 22 lite Novels and I knew the Tortoise Arc would be bad, its the worst arc in the light novels as well but they chopped it up even worse.  Just showing the characters and introducing new powers to be used in the future.  The New world arc was so short, lacking a lot of character building and then the final episode a flashback episode.  Overall choppy story telling no character building and very little action way worse than the 1st year.  If they continue here's hoping they go back to good story telling.

I had high hopes after the first episode and was disappointed.  Best feature is the animation.  My main gripe is character development other than Loid there is none.  Anya is a convience device whenever they need a new development she properly uses her mental ability.  What really annoyed me was that they use Yor as a comedic device.  Her assain skills are never shown again for her work and her work never interfers with their family life.  Even Loid is made out to be basically an over worked office grunt by the end of the series.  If you like the comedic approach have some...

My favorite of the Spring 2022 season.  First let me say I'm a musical fan and I loved the varitions of the music each episode.  This is a slice of life musical.  Its main cast are three girls with beautiful voices.  The story is good it probably had more value to me than it will to others because I have researched in the past if it is possible unconclusivily. The characters aren't really developed and the animation is good but could of been better.  There is very little drama and all the results are positive.  So if you are feeling blue and want a lift this would be the anime...

First a warning the first 2 episodes are definately ecchi.  I actually tuned out a bit before I went back but the Animation and characters had me give it a second try and I was definately worth it.  It is actually a very good wholesome romance story.  It has great visuals and a solid love story.  No side drama or breakup and make up again.  It is all about her falling in love with him and him with her and her changing his life for the better.  Hope there is a second season.  It is now my favorite romance anime.

Its very rare that a TV show, Movie or Anime keeps me guessing as to what is happening who the bad guys are and how it will end.  Den-noh coil did that for me.  It has action, horror and slice of life paced through out the show.  If you are looking for something different and can watch a paced show this is definitely one I can recomend.  My biggest complaint was the animation and some of the sounds were irritating but they were supposed to be.  The ending was satisfying but could of been better.

I really don't get the fan rave about this anime.  There is no story.  Basically 2 to 3 episodes are mini-stories loosely throwing in the main character.  It is so slow developing the main character.  They are dark stories no happiness to them.  There is some character development but then they kill off the character.  Any character not developed may stay some extra episodes.  The first primise was god wanted to see what happens(interesting) somewhere along the line they forgot that and threw in a bad guy trying to destroy the world.  No explaination just here's a bad...

Honestly this anime is all over the place.  They needed to stick with one idea and one main character plot and develop them.  The animation is great and there are a few good scenes but there is just as much cringe worthy stuff.  The Female MC and her girl friend fighting to save her brother would have been enough in this strange world.  But we have a Mask hero MC, her brother a Hero MC and they split time between each. We have an overpowered super shy backup character and tons of filler characters that you ask yourself why am I supposed to care about them.  That's the problem why am... See full review

This is not an anime for Everybody.  First and formost it is for Mature audiences.  If you don't like abuse themed shows or gore don't watch.  There is at least one sex scence in each episode.  That being said, it has a story that makes sense, it develops its character and the world.  The animation is very good and the sound track good.  The story is about the hero being majorly abused but through his powers restarting from the begining with knowledge of his abuse seeking revenge on all those that abused him.  The people he is getting revenge on have no idea what they did...

If you looking for something good but different, I recomend this anime.  Its in Chinese first of all so it sounds different.  The main heroine character is all over the place, strong, weak, serious, funny, bold and shy.  The animation is great.  The music is different but good.  The whole series introduces interesting plots but (now the negatives) then never resolves any of them.  I'm hoping for a second season so that I can at least find out some of the answers.  Other than the heroine all the other characters are not well developed.  That's not to say the...

It reminds me and made me laugh like when I watched the Road Runner and Coyote on the WB cartoons as a kid.  Its worth the 3 minutes if you want to smile.

My mental choices overwhemls you with the animation style but everything else is cliche or dull.  A comedy that never made me laugh.  The ending was horrible forced to make choices and in the end doesn't make a real choice. The characters are standard character's.  You think the choices are leading somewhere but nope.  You think the Gods have a plan but nope.  You think the real girls would break character and declare their love but nope.  It ends as it began a boy making stupid choices and his group of weird friends but now he as an extra weird friend.

I can see how this anime was inspiring during the time of its original making.  I doubt there was anything like it but it has lost its luster over time.  It definately is worth a watch the story is unique and interesting but with a lot of filler and reused images.  The animation is bad for today's standards the music is retro.  With an open mind you can see how far ahead it was for its decade.  I enjoyed many aspects of it but it could of been shorter with less filler.

This is a nice feel good slice of life.  It moves fast paced and really doesn't develop the characters.  It hints at a lot of things but then brushes them off for the next episode.  It has a pure filler look back episode.  The reason for this review, is that it could of been so much better.  First thing add some boys.  Both Astrology and Geology are majorly male.  This is not to say that the leads shouldn't be the female characters of Ao and Mira but natural conflict can arise out of a female/male club.  The school is coed.  Second think take time and dwell on...

This is an Isekai anime for those that enjoy Isekai anime but are tired of the basic premise.  If you don't like Isekai or are new to the trope you may not get as much out of it.  It is a comedy almost as good as kono suba but different(not sexual) yet it still made me laugh out loud a few times.  Its jokes come from him being over Cautious.  Its good points are they actually spend time in the god's world and you get to meet more of the gods.  The story actually resovles itself intelligently.  It makes sense after the final episode.  The bad points is that...

Adachi and Shimamura tries to be to much and doesn't develop the main character's enough.  They should of gotten rid of the alien, it wasn't needed.  We could of had more interactions and how there friends and family were effected.  Adachi and Shimamura make great character's but there slow development hampers the story.  When there not together the story slow's to a crawl and then at times when they are together the character arc just gets lost.  If you want to watch a girl relationship story that gets nowhere and inspires no one then this is the anime for you.  You have to...

Its your classic Harem in another world anime with 2 exceptions, The main character's attitude and the main girl's attitude. The main character's goal is just to get back home with the female lead character.  Anyone even classmates that stand in his way are fair game.  He loves the female lead and lets all the girls know.  The Female lead is confident and his lover, the other's are fighting to replace her and she thinks of it as a contest she won't lose. The female lead allows the girls to join the group based on power and love of him, exception for the daughter.  There are a lot of... See full review

Although a ridiculous premius, would never happen anywhere.  The romance, character development and ending make it a great story.  See the season before seeing the ending OVA's but every character is given there chance to shine.  You have to overlook the fact that everything ends perfectly and there is no way it could ever happen but that's what fiction is.  The main story of one guys journey to overcome depression but its about highschool hardships, and there are others that need to overcome their own issues.  The main character's growth help all those around him.   If...

This is an anime that I think has been overlooked.  It has the low rating because people are hung up on the message and the description doesn't attract the right viewers.  It is different from most school animes as its message is Schools are teaching wrong.  Theres a series of episodes that cross dressing is fine.  Theres a series of episodes saying that being a gang can be a better teacher than schools.  The stories are smart and if you can guess how he is going to solve them your better than me.  His sister threating him with the bat gets old but they stop it after...

If your looking for something really different in a romance this is the story for you.  I kept me guessing throughout the show.  Other than the weirdness of the story everything is average but if you like weird it excels.  Its base line is about Bears fighting humans, everyone is female and the bears like to eat the humans.  There is one female girl that is trying to understand love and bears and other girls are trying to get her to love them or give up on love.  It has a lot of plot twists. Overall the ending was satisfying but not great.  I just have to mention it again... See full review

If you have a young daughter or sister that you want to share an anime with, this is the best one you could ever watch.  Its light hearted, fun and non-violent. If you are looking for an anime to smile away the boredom of a day, this is the anime for you.  The best character is Yuna the bear girl all other characters not developed.  The one episode that Yuna is not the primary character is the worst episode.  There is really no action (she easily beats everything), no romance, no real comedy its just a feel good everything going to be alright with Bear everything.

My biggest problem with this anime is that it takes a serious subject and treats it way to lightly.  The story was horrible for trying to make light of a major problem.  The characters are ok and so is the animation.  After the 6th episode its started to get repeative for me.  The main character never gets a chance to work out her real problem  If you can shrug off the implications around her story you might enjoy it.  She already has a sad story and yet they keep having guys beat on her.  It really wasn't the type of story that should of been made into a comedy.
