Just finished Kimetsu no Yaiba, and ofc it was BLAST! , gorgeously fluid animation, amazing colors vibe, realistic sfx they nailed it UBW (IYKWIM) :v so hype when they're announcing the next arc (Swordsmith village) Hang on for next year (probably) guys , Chills :3
ps. Lately also goin back watching Detective Conan (ofc from the beginning), it was good but yeah it's just goddam long XD
What do I think? Eh... complicated.
I loved the show on a level which I did with my actual favorite series, but it's the kind of anime which rather than putting on a pedestal like my favs I'd rather just look back at.
finished FMAB just a week ago after 3 years of postponing.
the start felt kinda sluggish even by anime standard imo and i find myself dragging my limp body to the next one. but after eps 15 or so... it gets real. after that, somehow every eps ends substantially better than the last one. not to mention probably the most satisfying ending in any anime i had seen so far.
I watched Mushoku Tensei and besides all of the fanservice thing this anime is fire and im in love with Roxy and i can't find any anime which replace this emptiness.. help needed pls D:
black clover.so far its good a little tropy(if thats a word)but still good.and also things that are currently releasing like spy x family,komi can't communicate s2,love is war s3 and shikimoris not just a cutie.
"tropey" is probably the word you were looking for, and yeah it's a word
spy x fam currently for me, it's quite enjoyable thus far. Fairly "tropey" as well, but executing the shenanigans pretty solidly. Good combinations of various moods too
Houseki no Kuni. Well, watched the first 4 eps, all of them left me in awe.
Kyoukai no Kanata... well, KyoAni making eye candy as always but... the rest is a bit... eh.
Higuras... er... I mean, Summertime Render, looks cool, it's intriguing, pretty good thriller.
Both don't have a particularly solid plot tbh (one's an idol anime, need I say more? And the other's plot isn't anything new plus so far hasn't been dug into deeper yet), the main thing that drives the shows imo are the interactions and developments between characters. Not like I'm complaining, I love that kinda stuff
Ranking of Kings is so good. Only if people weren't turned off by the artstyle then the show would get more praise.
Just got finished with this, pretty good and there’s a good plot armor execution while portraying the humanness of each character. It’s not perfect but it’s just the right balance. The show was great. Currently in Arslan Senki 2.
Finally got around to finishing Noragami after dropping it for 3 years. I think it's good, just super underwhelming in many areas. In a way the first season feels more like it's setting up the world more than actually getting into its main story.

Agreed. At least season 2 moved on to more plot but the series just felt underwhelming overall.
trying to tick off all Trigger/Imaishi's anime. finished BNA a couple weeks back and im currently watching Panty and Stocking. maybe Promare or Little Witch next.
having a hard time getting through it tho. honestly it doesnt even feel like a series but more of a compilation of episodes. understandable given its trying to replicate american cartoons style.
im not watching an anime rn (mainly because im relatively new to the genre) but i wannna try re:zero for my first actual non-kid anime but im pretty cautious about starting watching anime
Recently finished Bubblegum Crisis. Despite some weird writing flaws here and there (like character deaths and emotional drama that absolutely do not work) it's a pretty fun Sci-Fi Police show with great animation and an outstanding soundtrack. The main girls are all likeable and each have excellent designs. The opening of the first episode is quite possibly one of the best openings to any show in the history of the medium, not even kidding.
Barely inches itself into a 7/10 for me. Fun 80's anime action.
finna be watching onimai i think. i read the manga years before the anime had even been anounced. though i find it weird that thay changed mahiro's hair from white to pink and now she looks like hoshino from blue archive.
Currently watching Hellsing (2001). Overall not much to say as I'm only 2 episodes in, but I like what's being presented to me so far: crime / monster of the week type show. I like its gritty aesthetic to an extent although the art department could be a bit better especially with the sky (which looks flat and makes the world feel smaller). Not expecting anything extraordinary or necessarily great but I'm enjoying it nonetheless and hope to see more of Alucard, both in this version and later in Ultimate (Ultimate I have high expectations for, not in story or overall depth but in visuals and its more care-free, comic yet badass presentation of Hellsing's ridiculous ideas).

Just started rewatching Nichijou. It will forever be my favourite anime lol
Currently, watching "Don't toy me, Miss Nagatoro 2nd Attack". And I like it. SPOILERS AHEAD:Nagatoro seems to slowly love naoto cuz she cared about him. for example, she easily gets jealous when naoto compliments other girls, which was also seen on the first season. One of my Favorites was, when Naoto got sick and her mother went to work, nagatoro was worried bout him and went to his house. to watch after him, until naoto's mother arrived home. How adorable 😊.
I gotta recommend you watching this. It's a pretty funny and a nice Slice of Life Anime. Some parts are pretty annoying, but you'll get used to it (I hope)😅
Kyokou Suiri Season 2. I was going in this anime with low expectations because of the 1st season but was genuinely surprised when I enjoyed this one. I'm currently in the middle of the pinocchio story.
But honestly the reason why I like this season so much is that the story now revolves around the relationships between the yokais and the humans. The 2 main characters only appear when they get called to solve a problem that the humans and yokai have. I hope this formula keeps continuing for the 2nd season as I really enjoyed this slice of life style they're going for here.
I just finished Yuri Kuma Arashi. I did not expect such a mindrape.
Despite being WAY weirder than the other two Ikuhara's anime I watched, this was considerably easier to understand.
Uzaki-chan season 2. Now it's finally getting good. The first season was just as boring as the manga but since the romance is finally picking up, the jokes and such are starting to get more enjoyable. The manga gets better later down the line, so of course the anime gets better too. But it's nice to see this get adaptated in general since the mangaka tried so hard to have it get picked up by a studio to adapt it.

I'm watching... uh naruto... uh i stopped coz is more than 1000 episodes and i think is bad, because don't ends.
Gugu died. WHY. ;w; I was barely recovering from March.
Anyway, on topic. Found a random DVD that contained an old-ish anime called Amatsuki... pretty eh...
One of these isekai disguised as time travel. But it was made in 2008 so the plot is more similar to a 2000s action historical anime than your typical isekai.
Urusei Yatsura (2022). I personally never watched the original version, but I think it's interesting to see some aspects of the new show have some sort of feel coming from the old era of anime. I heared the IP is a mega hit in Japan, so I took a chance and watched it. It's going pretty good rn, the show is mostly episodic so it's a nice change of pace from all of the abudance of story-driven anime these days.
Mushikaburi hime. I actually never watched it despite it being in my currently watching list in my MAL, cause tbh, the plot itself is really boring for me. I just watched episode one but it seems like the pacing was so fast. Like goddamn, a time skip in the first episode? Too fast.
That 2000 year demon academy anime part 2. It honestly should've stopped at the first season. Everyone already acknowledge that the power fantasy MC is very strong so it lost all it's fun now after that. Also idk what happened, the there aren't any episodes getting released at the moment. Maybe some production problems? idk, haven't checked into it.
manga, but catching up on Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi, started reading it 3 years ago, when only the first 2 volumes were released, din't quite get into it, but now that i'm catching up to all the new stuff that I read some of the secodn volume to , I really enjoy it a lot more now, it's a really good manga
BOFURI. I've begun to feel like the anime seems to have a tight budget. With poor animation, a ton of montages, only 1 song is used, etc. It's still pretty fun though, but I'd prefer if the production is better.
Despite it being made in 2008, the art and the animation quality sures several of the anime released in the 2010s. It also has a nice plot, grweat battle scenes, and it even has furries in it! Bingeable.
Currently halfway through baki the grappler and god damn is it such an entertaining show. This old show might actually be better than the netflix adaptation lol.
Just finished Kantai Collection "Season 2" (binge watched it in a day w) It has more serious tone than the "first season" and a good potential but somehow didn't deliver it Also there's that one artist who make awesome Shigure art. Go check them out
Watcing a fuck ton this season so I express my thoughts on Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta.
The premise... is interesting. For an isekai of course. I don't really like how they're doing things though. MC was a fat ugly man who was mega depressed and they immediately turned him into a hot ikemen body MC. Like what's the point in that? MC never overcame himself organically and worked hard for that body, he just got it because of isekai logic. Now all the women fall for him which yeah that's pretty on par the isekais but the man never did anything to earn it unlike other protags. Seems like they're trying to clean up small threads on the real world so MC could go isekai travelling. But come on, wtf's the point of the real world isekai world plot if you're just gonna abandon one of them for the other? Fucking awful.
Ichika: Onee-san type. Which is not my type but ok
Nino: An aggressive tsundere. Somewhere between Chitoge and Senjougahara. While tsundere best dere, she's a bit too unnecessarily brutal but her doujin is good so there's that
Miku: Everyone's favorite. Full stop. She seems to be the only one who is introverted tho.
Yotsuba: This picture explain it all
And like the real Yuigahama, I think [oregairu spoiler]she has a high chance to become yahallost, like, i don't know why authors love bullying cute airhead girl. But judging by the statistics, I think it's a high chance this would happened
Itsuki: Also a tsundere. But non-aggressive glass-canon type. Which I stand by the above statement that Tsundere best dere. So I put her at the top of the list. But then again, all of them are waifu material in their own rights. Even Nino (who I put last). So this is one of the few shows where I cannot decisively declare who's "Best girl" lol
onimai holy fucking shit I love this anime. The visuals are amazing. It seems like the animators have been given more freedom to express the scenes in their certain way, that's why the animation is much more fluid compared to other anime. It's especially apparent in episode 8, the animation style often changed during scenes and damn it's just an amazing episode in general.
I like the plot too. It doesn't focus on the genderbender aspect but focuses more on the slice of life and what's it's like being a girl. Mahiro isn't an awful MC too. He? may be a neet and anti-social but he makes steady progress as he's continually assisted by his sister. Overall wholesome shit 9/10.
Ichika: Onee-san type. Which is not my type but ok
Nino: An aggressive tsundere. Somewhere between Chitoge and Senjougahara. While tsundere best dere, she's a bit too unnecessarily brutal but her doujin is good so there's that

OK since I finished everything, including the movie, here's my final verdict. A solid 8.5/10 y'all should watch: Itsuki >= Nino > Yotsuba > Miku >>> Ichika.
This is it. No further explanation. BEST WAIFU NO CAP. A mild Tsundere who speaks in a mannered way is definitely THE BEST. Although I'm a bit disappointed with her story. It has become clear since a little bit into the second season that she doesn't stand a chance of winning, since the author decided to "Ah f*ck it. I'd like to write her off as Fuutaro's best friend lol". Essentially making her a "plot device" as some would say.
Nino:
Her redemption arc in the second season is really a redemption arc. I'd put her a little below Itsuki. Since the author decided to dump Itsuki like that, I rooted for Nino. Once she made up her mind, she goes on FULL OFFENSIVE which made her top tier waifu material in an instant. She's still a Violent-type Tsundere somewhere between Chitoge and Senjougahara tho. Although she becomes more sweeeeeet as time progress. NINO's SO CUUUUUTTTTTEEEEEE. The moment she knew she lost tho I just can't......
Also many ppl pointed out Nino literally drugged MC twice so she didn't deserve the "best waifu" place even after the redemption arc. I'd argued that Senjoughara literally stapled Araragi's gum in the first 10 minutes of Monogatari. And ppl still worshipped her "Best waifu of all time." even after 14 years. So Nino definitely deserved it.
Yotsuba:
She actually managed to WON? It's quite a rare case that a Genki-type character managed to won. Which is good and refreshing. Yotsuba can be described as a cute, energetic, airhead, giver-type character aka. Yuigahama Yui. Which is my second most favorite type of character after Tsunderes. With that said, the fact that she's a winner girl and got so little screentime is VERY UNFAIR TO HER. I'd like to see more Yotsuba x Fuutaro before the conclusion tho (idk if there's more of these inmanga cu I didn't read it). Some people may point out that "BRUH HOW TF SHE WON SHE HAS NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AL ALL. I'd argue that what she needs isn't more character development. But MORE SCREEN TIME PLEASE GODDAMNIT.
Miku:
A shy and introverted character aka. Komi-san lite. Miku probably has the most character development out of the quintuplets. She slowly but steadily comes out of her shell also with the help of her sisters, as you can see in the second season's ending . And that alone make her a "best girl" in the eyes of the many.
Ichika:
Onee-san type characters is not my type. But kudos to the author for executing Ichika the way she is. I won't forgive her for what she has done during the second school trip tho.
Jigoraku. I have to say this shit is so cool. MAPPA keeps making bangers man. The plot is unique, good characters, and whew the sound track is awesome. I'm really invested in the story despite Gabimaru's wife having a penis scar ruins my immersion from time to time lmao.
wow I didn't know what I was expecting from this anime after watching the 1st season. And seemingly enough the show still hasn't changed at all from the 1st. It's still continuing the formulaic slice of life which is, yeah that's the point but I think it'd missed it's potential of having a good balance between slice of life and the power fantasy genre.
