The witch episode gave me nightmares as a kid, and prevented me from engaging with the Hello Kitty franchise. That witch episode ruined me. I had nightmares for weeks Its eerie atmosphere and sudden tonal shift left me with lingering nightmares and completely alienated me from the Hello Kitty franchise during my formative years.
Looking back, the story was a bit of a tonal whiplash—what started as a gentle, comforting show suddenly dipped into unexpectedly dark territory. The episode stood out because it was unique, but not in a way I found enjoyable as a young viewer.

The art style, usually soft and cute, made the horror ... elements even more jarring. It felt like something creepy was hiding beneath the pastel visuals, and that mismatch made it stick with me (in a bad way). The characters didn’t really react in ways that made sense—there was an eerie calmness to their behavior that made the entire thing feel even more surreal and uncanny.

I think fans of cute horror or unsettling nostalgia might appreciate it in hindsight, but if you're showing it to kids, maybe skip that episode. It’s a niche kind of unsettling that some might love, but for me, it was too much.

Time travel is, in most media, an excuse for lazy storytelling or people in capes. In Erased, it’s a reason to revisit childhood trauma—which, frankly, is far more realistic. Erased is one of those rare shows that balances suspense, emotional depth, and human connection so beautifully that it leaves a lasting impression. The premise—an adult man, Satoru, traveling back to his childhood to prevent a classmate’s murder—is bold, but it never feels gimmicky. It uses time travel not as a flashy plot device, but as a way to explore regret, memory, and the haunting question: What if I had noticed?

The emotional core of the story ... is Satoru’s relationship with Kayo, a girl suffering from abuse, and how he fights to protect her. Those moments are so raw and quiet that they linger long after the show ends. The pacing is excellent, the tension is real, and the art style—subtle and expressive—suits the atmosphere perfectly.

I remember binging the entire episode with a friend at a sleepover, we stayed up the entire night.
f you’ve ever wished you could redo the past—not to fix your own life, but to save someone else's—this show gets it. And unlike most television, it actually ends well. Truly a masterpiece that I can rewatch, and it will still keep me interested.
If you love stories that make you feel something and linger in your mind for days...
Erased is 10/10.
Just—watch it. Trust me.

10/10 masterpiece. I recommend this anime a lot!! Koe no Katachi is a film that broke me and healed me all at once. It’s a story about shame, forgiveness, and the quiet ache of wanting to be understood. Watching Shoya confront his past—his mistakes, his guilt—felt like hearing the saddest track on an old album you thought you’d forgotten. And Shoko? Her silence speaks louder than any lyric I could write. The animation is soft, stunning, and the music feels like a gentle heartbeat underneath every moment. This isn’t just about redemption—it’s about connection, and how hard it is to say “I’m sorry” or “you ... matter.” Koe no Katachi doesn’t shout its message. It whispers it—and somehow, that hits even harder.

Romantic Killer charmed me.

The heroine, Anzu, is a girl after my own heart: she prefers cats, chocolate, and video games to dating. Finally, a protagonist with priorities.The story isn’t meant to be taken too seriously, but it still manages to explore themes like emotional growth, personal boundaries, and friendship. It’s funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly wholesome in moments. Even though some plot points are exaggerated for comedy, the characters still feel grounded and grow over time.

The animation is colorful and expressive, perfectly matching the chaotic energy of the story. Anzu’s reactions are over-the-top in the best way, and the magical mascot character Riri is both hilarious ... and unhinged.

Overall, Romantic Killer is a fun watch with heart. If you enjoy comedy with a subversive edge, it’s worth checking out.

Anime is good, but manga is better. I could predict some of the events, the journey was still compelling because I enjoy character-driven dramas that explore friendship, grief, and redemption.

The art style suits the tone of the story well. It’s soft and delicate, which complements the emotional weight of the narrative. The backgrounds are beautiful and atmospheric, subtly reinforcing the mood of each scene. While it may not be the flashiest animation, it carries a quiet beauty that matches the gentle melancholy of the plot.

The characters are perhaps the strongest part of Orange. They are flawed and human. The pacing can be slow, and ... some emotional beats are repeated a little too often. Still, the emotional message and focus on mental health are important and well-delivered. It may not be for everyone, especially those looking for action or fast-moving plots, but for fans of heartfelt drama, Orange is worth watching.
