Not a bad show, but not interesting either? First of all the animation is good. No issues there. The plot is not really bad, But after finishing the anime i felt like alot was missing. To be fair i havnt played the visuel novel so i cant say how much they cut, but finishing the show you can feel some things either needed more time or explantion. For example the entire shogun plot felt unimportant to me The show is about an otaku guy, Takumi. He is obessed with Seira-tan, a fictional girl from some anime media. Takumi and Seira both know shes a delusion He also hasa sister, Nanami. Shes the typical little bit spoiled, but cares alot aout her brorther.

Rimi is one of the love interest. Theres a plot point with her that never gets explained and that makes me angry. 

The show has alot of sciene stuff it tries to explain to you, but honestly it doesnt make much sense?  Its like the show knew it has hard to understand, so it kept repeating it hoping you would understand. 

The reason why im putting it in mixed feelings, isnt because the show is bad, its just cleary missing something, but you only get that feeling after finishing the show.

Tamayura is one of the shockingly many slice of life/iyashikei entries within Junichi Satou’s catalog, with this one standing out as an anime original of his own creation rather than an adaptation of a manga. In that regard, we can plainly see the areas in which he both excels and falters. His visual presentation and mastery of mood are just as strong as ever, crafting a delightfully pretty town surrounded by luscious scenery for our main character, Fuu, to photograph in her continual pursuit of a hobby left to her by her late father. There’s an ever-present feeling of nostalgia wafting through the events ofthis story, and Fuu’s reverence for photography stemming from both her departed parent and a genuine desire to interact with this art form made the many bumps and scrapes along her journey much more engaging than I expected, in no small part to how expertly the cinematography captures the little moments that make up said journey.
Aside from Fuu, however, there’s not a lot here in terms of intriguing characterization, with one character half-defined by being a shotacon, and another entirely defined by primarily speaking in whistles. While the conversations never feel stilted and maintain a natural cadence and flow, anything not involving Fuu’s family or photography borders on being droll and unengaging. For now, I am will to view this as an extended pilot of sorts since there are several TV and film entries after this, and I do at least like the vibe of it all, so I think I’m willing to continue onto more installments to see how Satou fleshes out this particular group of cute girls doing cute things.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt is a tour de force of mecha animation and one of the most mentally taxing action anime I have ever seen. From jump, it is brutally honest about its portrayal of war and the perpetual meat grinder that both the Federation and Zeon continuously pumping fresh bodies into, yet it still takes some of our main characters until the very bitter end for them to realize the role that they played in feeding the ever-hungry maw of death. This contrast is most effectively conveyed through the dichotomous soundtrack choices of our lead characters, with Daryl’s easy-listening and nostalgic serenity, representing thenoble ideals he believes he’s fighting for, contrasted harshly against Io’s freeform jazz spewing chaos, dissonance, and adrenaline at every turn.
The impeccable art direction and expertly-crafted action set pieces further enhance the harshness of this story. High-impact explosions, brutal physical combat, a colder color palette that refuses to trade off saturation, and even the sharpness of certain character design features draw out the most from this series to craft something bold, in your face, and impacting. Though I had some fleeting thoughts about taking a bit more time to let emotional moments land or give more development to certain characters, its relentless, high-velocity delivery of the story stands as one of its main strengths, and the raw and utter senselessness of some of the violence immediately draws parallels to that of War in the Pocket or the final episodes of SEED, leaving every character involved completely ravaged by the end of the story, with the knowledge that the next battle is just over the horizon further heightening the emotional drop.
War. War never changes.

Doukyuusei is a delightful little boys’ love film that might be my favorite so far from a genre I have very little experience with. The less polished, more ethereal character designs, thinner linework, and watercolor-adjacent color palette craft a beautiful tone landing somewhere between serene and fragile, and while it’s not the most ambitiously animated film, its focus on art direction and maintaining the proper mood makes this a more than appropriate tradeoff. While I’m not exactly the target audience for this story, I also can’t deny that it nails its more sensual and erotic moments as well. The bubbling relationship between Kusakabe and Sajou wasincredibly sweet, though just as often fraught with the usual issues that come with entering a new relationship and defining when exactly that relationship begins. While I tend to be a bit averse toward stories that are majority relationship drama, the conflicts that arise from their interactions are mostly motivated by their own personalities and insecurities, rather than general romantic messiness. There is a lot to be figured out when you fall in love for the first time, and the earnestness with which they both approach their relationship, despite their own neuroticisms and personal hang-ups, leans the drama more towards captivating than hampering. If, like me, you’re a bit lacking when it comes to knowledge of BL, this film is a solid starting point for you to dip your toe into.

Are you looking for something deeply soothing and heartwarming that will help you forget your everyday worries? Then this anime is just for you. It's one of those feel-good, comforting anime that lets you relax. The main characters fall into each other's arms in the very first episode and are perfect for each other. Practically everyone here is nice and friendly, and you'll hardly find a single negative character. That's the main and only reason why anyone should watch it. Unfortunately, the rest is mostly negative. Although the story doesn't pose any obstacles for the main characters, its pace is desperately slow. That wouldn't matterso much if it were filled with the main reason why anyone would start watching it. And that is cooking monsters. The monsters aren't particularly interesting, just larger animals, and their preparation is also very ordinary. But most importantly, the number of times a monster is cooked can be counted on the fingers of one hand. This is a very serious shortcoming for a show that presents itself as being about food. Even more so than the slow plot. Which is sad, because the anime outlines an interesting background to the world and the behavior of monsters and their use.


There's no point in commenting on the animation and voice acting, they're okay. 


For those who want to curl up under a blanket with a cup of cocoa in the evening, I can recommend it, otherwise it's better to move on to another show.

Lupin the 3rd Part IV: Italian Adventure has completely solidified this particular brand of Lupin as my favorite within this sprawling franchise, striking a perfect balance amongst thrilling action set pieces, endearing character writing, and wacky cartoon hijinks. Even if no challenge is too difficult for the world’s greatest thief, the show does an excellent job at convincing you he’s in a real jam and constantly keeping you on your toes in regards to how he’ll weasel his way out of any given predicament. The supporting cast are just as solid, though very much in their typical roles for the most part, but I mustgive a big hat’s off for this entry being very proactive with both giving Fujiko something to do and enough agency to move the plot with her own actions, rather than being conjoined to whatever Lupin is doing.
Apart from the main crew, Rebecca has easily cemented her legacy in Lupin lore as his not-quite wife with her thrill-seeking nature and genuinely charming personality, and her billionaire antics fit nicely into the cartoony world of this story while also forming an incredibly compelling, if immensely complicated, relationship with our titular thief in how they approach their craft. It also can’t be understated how cool this show looks. Whether it’s the beautiful Italian countryside or a high-impact car chase that’s actually hand-drawn and not filled with mediocre CG car models, there is plenty of eye candy to feast on as each adventure plays out. It is still an episodic series and not all of the episodes are winners, but the misses are more than drowned out by hit after hit, making this a perfect spot for newcomers to jump into the fun.

Mononoke: The Ashes of Rage continues to be an anomalous bright spot in the realm of nearly-forgotten anime properties of the 2000s suddenly getting new entries in the 2020s, no doubt due to the continued involvement of anime auteur Kenji Nakamura. Much like the first movie, this one is exploding at every seam with vibrancy and color that borders on uncontrolled chaos, yet consistently manages to retain its form and intent. Whereas the first film was decisively centered around the relationship between its leads and how the inner machinations of the Ooku drove them towards conflict, we now begin to see the true depths ofthe Ooku’s ugliness brought to light and how those in power seek to retain an antiquated order that is obviously outgrowing its usefulness.
That’s not to say character is missing from this entry; far from it. Whether it’s Fuki’s desperate struggle against a system that seeks to exclude her for not being of their kind, or Botan’s slowly growing trust in the medicine seller and distrust of the system she was brought up to obey, both characters brought to life by the incredible talents of Youko Hikasa and Haruka Tomatsu respectively, there is endless entertainment to be found in the players acting out this period tragedy. Despite its less-than-conventional narrative structure, Mononoke is proving to be more and more timely and captivating with age and with each new installment, and I can’t wait to see how the third film takes us yet another step deeper inside the monsters that our human hearts create.

The Frieren anime adapts the beginning of the Frieren manga with thoughtful pacing and strong emotional grounding. It focuses on Frieren, an elf mage who outlives her companions and must confront how little she understood about human life and time. The story balances reflective character moments with light adventure, examining loss, memory, and growth rather than relying on action alone. The music soundtrack sounds smoothing and calm, supportting the melancholic tone without feeling heavy. Some vof you might find the slower moments introspective rather than thrilling, but the series earns its emotional impact through quiet development and meaningful interactions, which Ireally appreciate.

Overall definitely one of my favorite (and my first) animes of all time. 10/10

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun 2nd Stage Review Season 2, here we go. After giving Season 1 a straight 9 personally, I was waiting for this. Well… not actively waiting, but you know. Then suddenly it aired. Alright, let’s go. But hmm… Why does everything in Season 2 feel so… normal?Season 1 had that strong premise. The whole leveling up concept. The MC improving step by step. Watching Tomozaki grow socially like it’s an actual RPG build. That was interesting. That was satisfying.

In Season 2?

He wins.

And yeah, winning should feel good, right? Technically yes.

BUT MY SHIP LOST, OKAY. ARGH.
Relax relax, no spoilers.

Still, jokes aside, I genuinely don’t feel anything strong this season. Even the final episode didn’t hit. No big emotional punch. No moment that makes you sit there staring at the screen. Just… okay. It ended.

What’s missing?

Why does it feel so empty?

Did the studio choose weaker arcs to adapt? Or is the light novel actually like this? I’m just an anime-only watcher, so I don’t know. But it really feels like something is lacking. Like the spark from Season 1 just isn’t here anymore.

Instead of feeling like progression, it feels like we’re just watching things happen. No strong tension. No satisfying payoff. Just one season that passes by.

Which is crazy, because Season 1 pulled me in hard.

Because of that, my rating drops two points. From 9 to 7.

After what happened in the Season 2 finale, I honestly doubt there will be a Season 3. Most anime with this kind of genre usually stop around arcs like that.

Once again… I’m not expecting anything.

But yeah. I’m genuinely not satisfied with Season 2.

Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! Review Wey my old review got deleted by admint... Fine. We go again. Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!, 2024 anime that I finally finished now. I remember that season clearly. Alya was airing too. Back then I even said that season felt like the rebirth of romcom. And honestly… yeah, it kinda was. At first I gave this anime a straight 10. After finishing it properly? Okay, calm down. It drops to 9. First of all, the visuals are insane. Like actually insane. It looks like a movie. I’m serious. The lighting, the color work, the framing. It doesn’t look like your average seasonal romcom. And thankfullythis anime doesn’t just gather a bunch of bland characters into one bland circle. The cast is interesting. The premise is strong. The delivery is clean. The dialogue is smart. The pacing control? You can tell the creator knows exactly what they’re doing.

But then… what’s missing?

Ah yes.

The DOKI DOKI.

And to be specific, the tension I mean is for the MC.

Nukumizu feels like a freaking side character in his own anime. I get it, that’s part of the premise. He’s supposed to be the observer, the background guy, the one helping the “losing heroines.” I understand the concept.

But bro.

This is too much.

He barely feels like he’s emotionally pushed. The girls are developing. The atmosphere is developing. The story is developing. But the MC? Sometimes it feels like he’s just… there. Watching. Reacting. Supporting. Existing.

Where is his internal conflict. Where is the emotional cornering. Where is the moment where he actually feels shaken.

For a story balancing three heroines, the emotional battlefield should be intense. Instead, it’s calm. Too calm. It feels safe. Polite. Carefully controlled.

Season 1 is clearly heavy on building. And I respect that. But building three heroines at once while keeping the MC almost passive makes the pace feel slower than it should. If you like faster romantic progression, this might feel heavy.

And yet…

I’m curious.

That’s the dangerous part. The writing is smart. The setup is strong. If Season 2 gives Nukumizu real emotional pressure, real stakes, real heart-racing moments, this could easily go back to a 10.

Overall: 9/10
No lies, this anime is genuinely good. My review is just pure frustration because I wanted more fire.
