Watched it once, so my opinion might develop even further with a rewatch or two. And I'd definetely enjoy it again and again. If you get upset when the plot doesn't go the way you expect it, then it's better to not watch it at all. It's like the main characters are playing these console games where your choices make an impact on the story and they manage to pick the wrongest one out of the rest of the options. The moral of the story is so upsetting and raw and pretty unexpectable even if considered a sad ending, yet so realistic. In my opinion, onlythe artstyle and music give off a romantic sense, cause the events resemble real life to the extent of determinism, in the sense of the inevitable. If we consider it to be just a story with surficial events to take place and no deeper character development of the two main characters then I don;t have any objection and I'd give it a 6/10 sinse there wasn't something creative other than the animation, just depicting life in a monotonously straightforward way. However, I believe Akizuki underwent insane character development and not just because he had a relationship with the 27 yo Yukino, which wasn't a romantic one at all. Mostly because he is 15 yo so he is stimulated by almost everything as he enters puberty. But that isn't a reason why Yukino gets so little attention, concerning her inner psyche. Indeed, we see her true colours of her characters but I observe 0 progress not in just her way of thinking, since she's 27 and that can't really change dramatically, but also in her actions. We simply wait for the story to end just to see her accepting herself. And I definetely like that version but having a 15 yo kid facing her gives the opportunity to open more paths in her personality and her behaviour. So to sum up and express my opinion on the context of the story, I was really annoyed tha a relationship between a teenage boy and a young lady evolved in such way. I find it really confusing how the teenager had to offer MORE to the lady and the lady gave him NOTHING in return. And in the post-credit scene the boy STILL wants to offer her more, which was beyond terrible and forced romanticism. I feel like Yukino was so disrespected and underestimated and Akizuki's actions and way of thinking was definitely not aligned with his age, but I can accept the latter.

As a Shinsengumi fan, Hakuouki had always been somewhere down low on my radar. Despite not having seen or read any otome/reverse harem stuff before, this was a good show to get some kind of experience from that front. The show features an ensemble cast of mostly the known Shinsengumi members but not all of them as it takes place later in the depicted history of their story. And regarding the historical aspect of the show, it keeps major events fairly intact but takes a lot of liberties including adding supernatural elements and of course, our female lead who I'll briefly talk about next. Chizuru is apretty straightforward case. She gets rescued by our heroes at the start and gets a job working for them so she gets closer to everyone as the story progresses. Sadly a lot of the times she feels like a typical damsel in distress, being unable to fend for herself in dangerous situations and personality wise she's a fairly standard stand-in for the player, although I do wanna say she does get some development luckily in that department. Oh and I said player since this is an adaptation of a visual novel. That brings me to the main issue of the story; it's too disconnected. Right from the start it feels like watching something that expects you having already experienced the source material. It also jumps around a lot with timeskips and many things, including big events getting off-screened to keep the plot more focused around Chizuru. And instead of committing to a route, they try to focus on everyone which leaves many relationships unsatisfying. From an otome adaptation I was also hoping to see more romance mixed in. We basically have zero of that outside of the usual tropes of blushing at topless dudes teasing the female lead. On the positive side the alt history is done fairly well without disrespecting real life history too much. The camaraderie between the Shinsengumi members feels organic and natural and I like that the show gets surprisingly gorey with no noticeable censorship taking away from the darker tones. Also features a lot of high profile VAs who do a good job here. While the show left many things to be desired, I think Shinsengumi fans like myself can at least get some enjoyment out of it among the plethora of stories featuring them. Season 1 ends in a big climax, leaving me some desire to keep watching.

Okay, look. Sometimes you’re just scrolling and want to watch something that requires absolutely zero brainpower. I get it. You might see the wild title for Hitozuma no Kuchibiru wa Kan Chuuhai no Aji ga Shite, and your curiosity might get the best of you. This review is for you. First off, this is a super short anime. The episodes are only a few minutes long, making the whole series very simple and fast-paced. You can literally finish the whole thing in less time than it takes to make instant noodles. The format is pretty straightforward: it follows the same main character, but each episode introducesa different housewife for him to... uh... interact with. I was honestly shocked that the episodes had actual "stories," but they do! Each one has its own little scenario, and what I really didn't expect were the parodies. The show leans into the most ridiculous ecchi tropes so hard that it loops back around to being genuinely funny sometimes. It knows it's absurd and just has fun with it. Now, for the real reason I’m writing this. Regarding the details of those "interactions," I have no further comment, lmao. You’ll just have to use your imagination. What I will comment on is the viewing experience. This is absolutely, 100% not safe to watch in public. I cannot stress this enough. And honestly, I have to give a special warning to the girlies out there. As a woman, you better not watch this in public. LOL. The potential for someone to glance over at your screen is just way too high, and the second-hand embarrassment would be lethal. This is a strictly headphones-on, door-locked, nobody-else-home kind of show. Consider this your official warning!

A fire intro song, decent artstyle & voicing, good story, but very lacking animation. This anime fell victim to a case of "butthurt syndrome." Webcomic fans were expecting a 9/10 masterpiece and, when delivered a perfectly decent 7/10 adaptation, they bombed the ratings out of sheer disappointment. Rating something poorly just because it isn’t exactly what you imagined is ridiculous—what matters is whether the anime is enjoyable on its own merits, not how closely it hugs the source material. Yes, the animation is subpar for 2025 standards, but calling it "terrible" is just dishonest. The current rating is just over 6/10 (less than 5 before), however mostother shows between 6 and 6.5 feature similar or worse visuals, generic stories, and uninspired art styles. That alone shows this anime deserves more. As for the story, it offers a refreshing twist on the Isekai genre: a powerful king from a dystopian near-future sci-fi world dies and reincarnates into a medieval fantasy world. The "fiction to fantasy" setup is creative and the story execution is solid, with no glaring plot holes. The protagonist’s inner monologue does a great job of explaining key points—like why he’s not instantly overpowered in a child’s body—for anyone too dense to figure it out themselves. Where the show does falter is in its underwhelming animation (especially during action scenes) and its sometimes flat portrayal of emotional expressions. These are the main aspects that drag it down from what could’ve been a 9/10 to a 7.

This is a darker twist on the original Cells at Work series. If the original series had the body working at its best capacity and all the cells are working at their best pace....then the Code Black edition shows what and how the cells have to adapt to situations whereby the body has constant issues. The red and white cells have changed genders, but it still relates to the context of the show. This time around, the value of oxygen is beaten down upon the viewer to show that red blood cells have a high value to the body. Thus, showing how to take care ofyour body is of high importance to ensure that every cell is optimised well to work for a longer time. The liver, the stomach and even the killer T-Cells by the hair follicles are having a high effort to work and really need support to be working properly. Somehow there's good character depth which gives you life lessons to draw away from in terms of discipline and resilience in this show also. It is an enjoyable and educational series that will help you to respect your body even more.

Note, I'm late posting this review as I was new to MAL and wasn't aware we could review. I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm in my mid 30s and never seen anime before. It was just something I never got into. Then my gf at the time kept talking about AOT and I got interested. Though, she didn't give spoilers, so I went into it thinking "titans" were robots. Boy, I was wrong. Being new to anime entirely, I was weirded out and unsure, but I was intrigued and stuck with it. I'm glad I did, because AOT(first 2 seasons, anyway) was such an amazing show. I ended up getting more into it than I planned, to the point where I bought some AOT merch. Season 1 and 2 Eren was an amazing character, but damn did it piss me off that the writer was an asshole when it came to Eren and Mikasa. I'm heartbroken nothing happened.

I forgot to review this since I was new to MAL. This was the second anime I've watched and WOW! I have to admit, being new to anime and not knowing what to expect, some of it was intense at first. but the more I watched, the more I got used to it. Death Parade turned out to be a masterpiece of a show, to the point where it is forever in my top 3. I LOVE Decim, amazing character! The idea of an Arbiter, someone who takes the time to adequately judge someone for heaven or hell is such an amazingconcept, and if heaven and hell were real, I'd hope the idea of this show was as well. Amazing show, highly recommend.

If you're searching for a series that will completely subvert your expectations, you must watch One Outs. I watched it in September 2025, and it stands out as a truly unique experience. The animation quality is great, surprisingly holding its own—and even surpassing—many anime made after 2010. The story is where this show truly shines. Is it unique? Absolutely. It’s far from predictable; you’ll find yourself having to think through the complex strategies or be left completely surprised by the clever twists. This isn't just about baseball; it's a high-stakes game of psychological warfare that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters arewell-rounded and compelling. While their strengths and weaknesses can feel somewhat unbalanced at times—especially with an unusually intelligent protagonist—it only adds to the show's intense charm. The characters' reactions to the high-pressure events feel authentic enough to keep you invested in their struggles and triumphs. By the end, you will definitely be wanting another season. This series was so impressive that it has pushed me to explore the sports genre more. I believe most viewers who enjoy strategic mind games and clever storytelling will thoroughly enjoy One Outs. It’s a definite recommendation.

Dam, Middle Age Men Get All The Pussycat the daily life of a middle-aged online shopper in another world, Is a story about a man teleported to another world, and nu getting all the ladies attention with his charm and money. it's a good old junk food anime, the characters are not deep, the plot is not Deep but relaxing, women are after the main character so hard that it becomes funny. The gimmick for the show is, the main character can take an fantasy item, sell it on the Shangri-La and buy an item from our world, An constantly showing stats of what everything is worthin yen. The women of the show are actually pretty strong will, and doesn't feel like dancers in distress, It's kind of nice, They want the main character a bit too much so it feels depressing, but they feel strong nonetheless. but the daughter and princess situation is Creepy. The animation is funny in how uneven it is, it sometimes looks like a slideshow, but I cannot stop smiling when it does that. But the colours are way too bright, looks terrible and hurts the eyes, especially the animal fur looks weird. Just like with junk food I feel dirty when eating it, but it's so shamelessly but I cannot stop.
