Kimi ni Todoke
Mixed Feelings
Kimi ni Todoke is basically Komi Can't Communicate if Komi was ostracized and bullied her entire life by rumours she's a supernatural entity, before a bland puddle deep pixie male lead allows her to grow & be her true self. A true self that's an oblivious sweetheart who's actually incredible at everything outside of social interactions & the heart; despite being socially inept, bullied & degraded her entire life outside of her home. She can either be fun, sweet & unaware or frustrating & unbearable based on the frequency of her tropes & character traits in conjunction with the current arc. She can also latch ontoyou connecting to your doubts & mentality, it's all up to the viewer's life experience.

As for the love interest, he's your average pixie that lifts the depressed & loner lead into the light. He has the entire school attracted to him but lacks any character or depth beyond "I'm actually selfish" or, from the female lead's perspective "he helped me & I'm so grateful for him" in spite of multiple episodes that try to explore her love deeper.

Her friends are great, Chizuru (tomboy) & (Ayane)Gyaru. They come in loud but improve the show tenfold as Kazehaya & Sawako's interactions lack substance during prolonged sequences. The interactions between the three girls and the occasional Ryuu were the highlights of the show. Despite the tone shift, the rumours arc (while exaggerated)  did a great job at exploring new friendships & the associated communication barrier if the person has fractured thinking.

All that being said I don't think Kimi Ni Todoke is an incredible romance anime as in 25 episodes there is very little "earned" romance, lots of drama, stupidity, denseness & pace shifts. That being said it's captivating and kept me watching to the completion of season one.

-----
From me to You has everything that can make or break a romance anime. 

Long drawn out realisations & romance, empty of a confession or conclusion to any first season relationships.

Arcs that showcase, improve or solve character traits but ultimately lead nowhere in 24 episodes (episode: rumours)

Great initial episodes that devolve with a Drama Arc followed by slice of life internal series tropes (blushing, exaggeration, crying (lots), chibis, ignorance & density.) & awkward side character focus.

Slow character growth that's reserved for individual arcs rather than consistent episode-episode improvement.

Age Gap Infatuation, loving parents & interconnected family relations.

Frustrating interactions between the class & teacher through rumours & adolescent actions.

Drama, Backstabbing, Heartbreak & Rivals.

More than one note side characters that have their own arcs & romance that are more interesting than the main duo. Man of few Words, Gyaru & Tomboy with hearts of Gold.

Mid-season recap episode that ruins the flow of the show.

Pretentious, messy, and anticlimactic BS that tries too hard to be profound and ends up looking goofy and shit. The first episode is very promising; I could look past the bad dialogue here and there, and the song choices are good too. The way the relationship between the two main characters develops is pretty cute and fresh to me, and the way Yukito interacts with other characters is funny and entertaining as well. But it all starts to crumble when they talk about the wings, and the dreams become tedious and forced, especially in the last four episodes. It's all pretentious, try-hard-to-be-profound BS that only leavesyou confused.

The art style is pretty, though.

k is not good. it's not good and that's okay. the story as a premise is pretty good but the way they executed it left me with more questions than anything. the art is really good, i love how long all the characters are. the characters themselves save the show, without them i wouldn't have watched it, that being said they're not incredible and definitely are generic (although some of them are a lot better than others-- saruhiko, misaki, mikoto, etc), i still love them though. the music is hilarious, something horrible could be happening and they'll have dubstep playing in the background. the fanservice is actually absurd, but it'sso absurd that it crosses over the line of disgusting into hilarious. but hey, they don't sexualize the little kid so kudos to them for that.

overall it's really not that good of an anime but i love it very much. would i recommend it? no not at all, but it's fun at the very least.

(EN-PT) I think the work starts well, and it has an interesting middle, but it loses itself a bit in the end. I think it becomes monotonous and dragged out. I also think it could have developed the characters a little better. Overall, the theme is interesting, and I will check out the second season (if there is one). It’s funny because even though I think it’s a good anime, something made me feel detached from it. There are anime with lower ratings that I marked as “recommended” that somehow kept me hooked until the end. This one didn’t… I watched a little here, a little there, and I was neverengaged enough to finish it.
But technically, it is very good.

Acho que a obra começa bem, tem um meio interessante,
porém se perde um pouco no final! Acho que fica monótono e arrastado. Acho que poderia aprofundar um pouco melhor os personagens também.
No geral, a temática é interessante, e eu darei uma olhada na 2ª temporada (se tiver).

É engraçado porque, apesar de eu achar ele um bom anime, algo me desprendeu dele.
Tem animes com notas menores que eu coloquei como "recomendo", que de alguma forma me prenderam a assistir até o fim.
Este não... Assistia um pouco aqui, um pouco ali, nunca me engajava o suficiente para terminar!
Mas, tecnicamente, é muito bom.

It's a morally bankrupt anime that doesn't deserve anything above 1/10. You see, pedophilia is frowned upon because a child's developing brain, in addition to being inexperienced, puts them at a major disadvantage: they are easy to manipulate due to their naivety and confusion. Therefore, the aversion is not solely physiological – the adult mind is conscious of its primal instincts and has a better understanding of the world and its people. Likewise, it does not become morally permissible when one of these factors is absent. For example, if it were possible to place the brain of a child inside an adult body, we would notapprove of someone having intercourse with them, for the same reason we do not allow people to seduce the mentally disabled: despite their appearance, which may be that of an adult, they are still naive, confused, and inexperienced like children.

Accordingly, if we were to place the brain of an adult inside a child, thus eliminating the physiological factor, it would not make it any less morally repulsive than the first example. If that person retained all the information upon which their "self" was built, and this allowed them to continue thinking as an adult and use their knowledge to prey on children, then they are not truly a child – no more than a 3,000-year-old vampire would be (assuming it was bitten as a child).

That is to say: Rudeus, our protagonist, is not really a child. Considering that he watched CP in his prior life and, after being reborn, still expressed interest in underage girls – going so far as to attempt to initiate intercourse with one of them – Rudeus is also a pedophile. This is something the anime chooses not to treat as a flaw, instead attempting to normalize it under the pretense of comedy and romance.

And it does not end there, unfortunately. Aside from being seemingly tolerant of pedophilia, it shows little to no problem with rapists and mass murderers. I cannot go into much detail due to potential spoilers, but such characters receive little backlash (if any), nor does the anime give serious thought to the moral implications of such crimes and their effects on other people. Rather, it prefers to isolate such incidents from the broader plot, using them either for brief emotional reactions or for comedic effect, without fully acknowledging them.

It could be a solid anime without those elements, whose isolated nature allows them to be removed without impacting the plot. However, that's the creative choice they made, and all I can do now is say that I do not recommend it.

i cant lie this anime is probably way worse than im giving it credit for, but man this was my first watch. I saw a recap video on youtube about 5 years back maybe 4, and it made me watch my first anime. couldnt have asked for a better first watch and man it was so amazing and seems so distant and nostalgic to me now. I should rewatch it but i really cant rewatch/reread things all the way through unless its with someone else. Thats why i gotta get a girlfriend and stop being a bum. Its aight tho, because maybe ill be ableto go to an all girls school as a dude because the plot is so well written and stuff. Love this show

a beautiful piece of art, actual must watch. includes scenes which could make a grown man cry, scenes to make you want to punch the screen in rage but not a "im dropping this right now" kind of rage. very artful ending that definitely has a bigger meaning than what i assumed. Loved every second of it, i 10000% recommend. Side note: i got a deaf family member so it was kinda eye opening even with that and just changed my perspective on how i live my life, genuinely, live with more care and be more considerate. strength is in protecting others man

do not watch this horrible show bro, the last few episodes are awful and this fat dude completely ruins the story. I legitametely have never felt this way about any anime of all time and i was so close to actually throwing up. It was solid up until HE arrived but when HE did i actually felt sick to my stomach and wanted to die. Why in the world did this stupid studio do this and NOTHING happened. The art style changes in season 2 and i dont really care to watch it after what happened in season 1 but its not better. The MCwas cool and the girl was cool too but holy crap they RUINED IT TO THE POINT OF ME ACTUALLY FREAKING OUT. THis is garbage

Fate/Zero
Not Recommended
Fate series is another more overrated pieces of garbages which was used to be peak during old days but now its just untalented brother of demon slayer.People often claim demon slayer to be carried by ufotable's animation but they don't have same case with fate series and how its carried by ufotable's animations more than anything ufotable has ever produced,fate zero is simply atrocious A)Premise-Ten years before the events of Fate/stay night, the Fourth Holy Grail War is about to begin in the Japanese city of Fuyuki. This is a secret, bloody battle royale between seven magi, known as Masters. Each Master summons a legendary historicalor mythological figure, a Servant, to fight for them. The last Master-Servant pair standing wins the Holy Grail, a magical artifact said to grant any wish.
basically a boring pokemon battle.


B)Characters-Easily one of the worst aspect of fate zero
1)Emiya, Kiritsugu-The only saving grace the main character who is interesting has a good goal and cool personality
2)Saber-pretty okay her personality is changed for other characters philosophy
3)Lancer and his master-Piece of trash lancer wanted to play with saber with being warrior and got his ess whopped and it was the best scene in entire anime same like askellad killing thorfins trash father loved that 
4)Caster and his servants-Literal bums of the series how can a small girl can beat you absolute trash characters got defeated so easily.both of them don't even care about the grail, they simply spend their time killing kids and talking about how they enjoy killing kids, they're too delusional to even see the possible consequences
5)Kotomine Kirei-starts as a normal guy who works with tokiomi but after archer tells him that he seems interested in kariya's tragedy he gets rewritten into a one-dimensional villain due to something
6)Gilgamesh-who  doesn't have to worry about anything thanks to his hax powers, which lets him remain as an egotistical asshole with zero character development till the end
7)Matou Kariya: who suffers to join the war so he can save sakura, but fails to do so and suffers even more, the only reason he exists is because the writer is obsessed with tragedy, kariya's story has no point, no meaning, it's a complete waste of time.


C)Story-Story of fate zero is written so badly this anime easily could have been 18 episode including those preschooler level philosophy and mid fights there's no way for it to be 25 episodes long it's literally a chore to watch it through and get to the interesting stuff.
because of this I  often found myself bored with whatever they were talking about, mainly because the plot was boring and all the characters had many unappealing traits which made me not care about them.


D)Fights-As most of the characters are not at all charismatic and their fights are not exciting Fights are mediocre to okay to absolutely bad its just disgrace to good animation If I am being honest because of due to terrible direction and uninteresting/generic powers to see.There is only one good fight somewhere in the middle other than that you want  to skip all of them and don't wish to watch

E)Themes- It's done by a preschooler that's it 

Character designs are pretty dope other than that there is no quality to be found

Overall one of the most overrated fiction ever read just watch jjk or demon slayer at least it has better fights and is never boring

Score-4.5/10(C-)

Kill Me Baby
Recommended
Kill Me Baby is a satirical slapstick comedy that focuses on gag humour. This allows you to draw a parallel to similar shows like Lucky Star; Lucky Star uses a more referential style of comedy that is improved by a knowledge of the topic the joke is about, generally otaku or gamer culture but not always. However, Kill Me Baby's humour is much more simple. It is my personal belief that the general consensus for this show is incorrect, people understand this shows humour the same way they do other similar anime, this doesn't work because Kill Me Baby is not meant to be taken thatway, you aren't supposed to read into each joke and think about the context and if there is any metatextuality to the joke. Kill Me Baby is, in one word, braindead. It intends for the audience to watch and not think, it isn't trying to make any statements or change the medium, it simply wants to make you laugh.

This is why, in my opinion, Kill Me Baby is so effective, it relies on a similar style of comedy to The Three Stooges, by that I mean a Three Stooges joke works in that you are aware there is going to be violence, it is never a surprise when the slapstick violence happens, but you have no idea what will lead up to that slapstick; why will Sonya beat up Yasuna this time? 

This is how Kill Me Baby operates. It sets up the idea that Yasuna and Sonya's dynamic is that of a double act, Yasuna plays the funny gal and Sonya plays the stooge. Yasuna will do something stupid or propose a dumb idea, hijinks ensue, Sonya beats up Yasuna. It works if you don't take it seriously. 

Beyond that, the characters are all fleshed out, besides Unused Character, Unused Character or Kyara Botsu's gag is that she is underdeveloped personality-wise as Yasuna stole all of her character-traits. Oddly enough this actually gives her a lot of character and helps her break up the comedy. The last main member of the cast is Agiri Goshiki who plays a support role in the humour, she often sets up Yasuna's schemes.  

Kill Me Baby has a really unique and compelling art style, it is cutesy but also detailed. In terms of sound design the music is good and the sound effects pop quite well, it has a dub created by Sentai Filmworks, as with the other few dubs by Sentai I've been exposed to it is excellently done. I enjoyed Kyara Botsu's voice in particular. 

Finally, the opening and closing themes are really really catchy and well done, they will get stuck in your head. Now that you've read my review in full *what will you do now Yasuna Oribe?*

Both series share an ambiguous semi-Victorian yet advanced sci-fi technology level. The slow reveals of the unexpected world details and history are also similar. Both series feature lower-class pilot main characters who are a bit bland to start, but become more fully realized characters as the show progresses. Military adults freely use and influence the children protagonists to their own ends, leading to conflicts. Good and Evil are seen in shades of grey and twists in the plot might change how certain groups are perceived.

I got reminded of Umi ga Kikoeru while watching Taifuu no Noruda due to the seaside setting and the sort of friendship shared by the characters. They both aren't BL but got some BL subtext since the pairs of friends have a lot of tension and chemistry going between them. You can also probably look out to the ocean, like the characters, while listening to music from both anime.

It’s another cool fighting anime where the MC uses blue flames as his power just like in Blue Exorcist. In both series, the MC’s abilities come from a demon. Just like in Blue Exorcist, the protagonist is a high school student training to become a stronger exorcist, with the ultimate goal of defeating the very blue-flame demon/spirit who gave him that power in the first place. I like that kind of irony the hero drawing strength from the same darkness he’s meant to destroy. It makes the journey feel more personal, not just another typical good vs evil story.

Very prominent Sega product placement. And the way people treat something so mundane as getting convenience store food with such hyperseriousness really reminds me of such games like Yakuza or even Shenmu. Feels like a very Sega brand of humor.

Sudo delinquents all around. Both have solid action and engaging side characters that are fun to learn about. The main characters are both somewhat difficult personalities brought into a world larger than themselves and learn to care and fight for those who care and fight for them. Very much recommend trying them both out if youre looking for wimilar shows

Both of the main mcs, though very different in many ways, one being a massive perv and the other being a massive green flag, have what a lot would call the ultimate harem. Though in different amount of girls in the harem, both the girls from High School DxD and 100 Girlfriends are memorable, iconic, likeable, and for a lot of people, attractive. They can have super cute girls like Shizuka and Asia, the cool type that's so nonchalant like Kohaku and Nano, etc. Plus, both of the main mcs can be pretty likeable.

Both shows are not what they seem at first,both explore time travel with a really sad, gloomy distopian future and deep character connections and feelings (example-Homura's love towards Madoka and Okabe's love for Mayuri and Kurisu).
