The Misfit of Demon King Academy 2

Jan 2, 2024

This reminds me of "a certain magical index" where the story is so convoluted and long winded at times, it subtracts from the enjoyment. You can still watch it, but you have to have the right mind set. It'll definately make more sense if you binge watch it. The main char is OP and thats ok if you still have challenges in the story in the right way, such as the struggles of subordinates (it does). A large chunk of this season is a love story or two which is a bit annoying as usual, but also good at times and ultimately ends in a satisfying way.

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent 2nd Season

Jan 2, 2024

Basically a reverse-harem. This is an anime for the Ladies (2nd season even more so than the first). They make her indecisive with men so that she can be surrounded by men instead of just one. Classic trope, but not excecuted well in my opinion. There are some Reverse-Harems out that, that with a good story, even as a Male, it is worth watching, but sometimes, the cringe becomes too much.

Undead Unluck

Jan 2, 2024

Fuuko is annoying, but its worth a watch (some anime, you can't actually put those annoying characters aside, but this one you can). Its a shonen(focused on males). The animation in particular is good. I hear people say they dislike the sexual abuse from undead to fuuko. I get it and Its refreshing when shows leave that stuff out, but in this particular anime, it fits in a little bit due to the abilities. Also, undead(andy) seems to be poking fun at Fuuko because she is suicidal and it takes her mind off of that. The dude is actually super old and probably isn't actually a horn-dog like he comes off in... See full review

Tearmoon Empire

Other than the silly cringe romance triangle, it was entertaining... which unfortunately was too much of the content. This was probably an anime more suited for young women.

Good mix of comedy and serious story. Has a small "seven deadly sins" vibe to it. Definately one to watch. One thing that I like about this is the lack of "pervyness" from any of the characters. I don't mind it, but it is a trope that is used too much these days.

The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess

Jan 2, 2024

Sometimes the show is a lot of smiles and cuteness, but at other times it is boring/stupid/cringe. Its worth a watch, but don't get your hopes up. I had to start skipping around to get through it or I may have dropped it half way through.

The Rising of the Shield Hero 3rd Season

Dec 31, 2023

The base story is pretty good overall with good characters, but I can't get over how stupid the other heroes are (besides the shield hero) for being taken advantage of by a coniving B*tch and letting their retarded sense of justice or denial take control of them like a maniac and how everyone else just caters to these wagamama crybabies and forgives them for their stupidity. Everyone that caters to them looks like a fool. I get they not full blown adults and they are needed to help fight the waves, but it just rubs me the wrong way. I hope we can get past these garbage sections and get to the good stuff.

The Kingdoms of Ruin

Dec 31, 2023

Starts out great. You finally have a main character that isn't afraid to take revenge on society for being stupid and evil.... but then the story takes a crap on itself and just seems stupid and weak. I'm only giving it 2 stars due to how enjoyable it was for the first few episodes. At some point, I had to start skipping sections to make it through the garbage. It never got better during season 1. Spoiler: The pink haired side kick girl basically ruins the main character by being a whiney B and he lets her likely because she reminds him of his master. What this does is it makes his...

Lookism

Oct 30, 2023

You have to understand that this animation comes from Korea and will... in turn... have some of their values which isn't the norm in the west. South Koreans are incredibly vane. The benefit is that sometimes they shame each other into being healthy. I susepect this sometimes causes great mental stress. Also, the west doesn't get bullying, but essencially, bullying exists to cull the weak from the tribe since you are the weak link that your enemies can take advantage of. Modern society doesn't understand this and bullies don't inherently understand why they do it. If the author doesn't understand the point... See full review

The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World

Apr 29, 2023

Main character is honey badger and will not be persauded by idiots that try to keep him from achieving his goals. Its a breath of fresh air in a world of anime where the main characters try to save everyone (including their enemies that don't deserve it). This is the highlight of this anime. Other than that, it is average.

Main character is an annoying whiny baby. Voice actor just rubbed me the wrong way although I can see why they casted it the way they did. The story progresses way too slowly at times. Other than that, its pretty good.

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

Mar 21, 2021

There is a bit of perversion in the anime that might turn some people off (mainly women), but if you are the average male, it will only come across as "finally, some realism", enjoy it for what it is, and then you can concentrate on the story, world building, and characters, which are all amazing and unique and do not depend on the perverted nature of some scenes to make it good.

I'm Standing on a Million Lives

Dec 20, 2020

Mostly bad. I liked it though... because it is fun to speculate why the "gods" are doing what they are doing and I feel like the main male character struggles between embracing the dark side or the light side. Ultimately, you never find out because there will be another season. The 2nd season could do it justice or ruin it... or prolong the question mark which will be bad because when the chances are that it will not end well, you don't want to keep watching for ever just to find out it was crap. Some anime pretend they are conveying some type of moral or psychological lesson, but in the end, it... See full review

Shironeko Project: Zero Chronicle

Jul 21, 2020

This anime had potential and is squandered it so bad that it is offensive (waisted my time). Fight scenes are crap and too many of them considering. Story is crap. It doesn't get better as it goes along. It gets worse, especially the ending. Characters are half baked and over-rated, if not cliche. Sound and animation are ok, but it doesn't matter if they don't get the rest right. This would make a good Hentai where all the characters are decietful and cuck each other behind each other's backs.

Ultimate Otaku Teacher

Oct 4, 2015

The story and animation are not that great. I just rate it so highly for the last few episodes. Basically kagami can build a time machine (if he had the equipment) and go and do what he wants wherever he wants etc., but he ends up understanding that he can create his own future (and it be more interesting and rewarding) by improving the educational system/students (which currently is a memorizing institution. Not one that teaches you to think). This concept is exactly what I thought through grade school and even now. Our educational systems are crappy because of the monetary system that is out dated.

Absolute Duo

May 6, 2015

Animation and music are good (especially the intro). Story and Characters (not neccessarily the voice acting) is what counts the most, neither up to part. It is just your average "power come from bonds and logic (even in the story's logic) doesn't matter." type anime... which the average joe can predict from the title of the anime. Still though, some of those kind of stories with interesting characters can be a hit, but this was boring. They try to throw in some darkish mysterious characters which can be interesting until you start to see the artificialness. For the more technical minded, this... See full review

To Love Ru

Mar 12, 2012

The story is crap mainly because the main boy is a weakling and indecisive (cant make his mind up as to which girl he likes). They even leave it that way at the very end. Obviously he would like to have lala and haruka, but yet he feels some type of moral negative at the same time. The animation/quality and ecchi is wonderful. The sound fits. I especially like the opening. Most of the characters are typical, although have enough uniqueness so that they are not totally annoying. lala is annoying because she is sqeaky and clumbsy. haruka is annoying because she just likes to blush and never accomplish...

Otona Joshi no Anime Time: Kawamo o Suberu Kaze

May 16, 2011

This anime is like a short movie. It is good quality in all areas. I liked the story, and think it was good, but its just that.... its not really my taste. This is an anime for older or more experienced people who have had sweet hearts, cheated, loved, desired, had kids, with multiple people, moved far away and back again, etc. For someone that can relate to those things mentioned, this will be a more meaningful story. The animation (looks of backgrounds and people, as well as the smoothness of the animation) were very good, and it was unique also. You notice it more in the beginning. You could see...

Kimi ni Todoke - From Me To You Season 2

Apr 21, 2011

This was a well executed 'girl and boy fall in love and get together' anime. My only complaint is that they turned a 9 episode anime into a 12 episode anime (thats just considering the 2nd season, but I think the first season is about the same way). Its very slow paced, more so than I think it needs to be for the type of anime it is. I know that its suppose to be generally  slow paced since its a romance story with heartfelt moments. I just think they abuse it in an attempt to prolong the anime. Some things to note: A) This anime is not filled with ecchi. (YAY!!!) This means that they dont have... See full review

Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars

Apr 19, 2011

One very important thing that I have to say before I do this review: The only way I could watch this was through english dubs, which probably make this anime very very very very very bad. Sometimes english dubs are bearable, but in this anime, I dont even know why they tried. The second super important thing is... that even without that part, it still probably sucks, but I only figured that out after I got half way through the thing and realized that it wasnt going to get better. The end is satsifying if you like the rest, but its a bit corny too. Story: The story, in the beginning, has promise/potential... See full review

Infinite Stratos

The music was good. The girls were hot. The I-S machines were so-so, some being better looking and more practicle in certain areas than others. Ichika's (the main guy's) I-S was kind of ugly or not special, but who cares about the guy anyways right? lol jp. I would have liked him to look cooler, but i guess they pulled off the "sincere and nice/caring" attitude. The mentality and intellectual plot is stupid. No suprise there: This isnt an anime meant to be intellectually challenging.. They played each others strengths together in a team sometimes, but... then again, not really. I mean, you have...

Warning: This review has a few things that could be considered spoilers. I started to watch this anime a while back and became annoyed at the way the main girl acted. Like it starts off and she is all "poke her butt out" on her bycicle while delivering news papers. The pace and mood were agrivating, but then a few days ago on the homepage of anime planet, it was shown in the "random anime" or "recently reviewed" slot. I looked at a review, and although I didnt read every detail, I saw in a comment where someone said that it was an under-rated anime, so with that information I... See full review

Note: This is by no means a stand alone review. I leave my perspective, so that people have more varied information when researching anime. I welcome constructive criticism, but I dont like it when people try to force their morals onto me as if im a bad guy. up to episode 8: victorique: This small girl is unrealistically intellegent. Thats not really the problem, but you should know that this anime... well... it doesnt really give you a lot of clues, so that by the end of the case you can "guess within reason" to who the culprit is (its kind of fun to do that, like to test yourself, but in this...

I think the general idea of this ova is amazing. It has the same type of feel to it as death note and code geass. (kinda). I mean, if you know the future from your cell phone, there is experiments to be done to figure out how it all works... like if it changes depending on what you do, or there is no way to change the future? interesting people do different things, and who are the admins? some artificial intellegence or something like a god from another dimention or what?
