This might be controversial to say, but I personally think that season 3 of Spy x Family is the best season they've done by far. I've seen criticism that say Season 3 feels so much more different and how it doesn't feel like Spy Family, but I couldn't disagree more. In terms of seasons, I think this has been the most interesting one yet.
Spy x Family isn't an anime to take too seriously I feel. Every since episode 1, season 1 it has never given the impression that it's going to be a super serious, dark or ominous vibe to it and even now
...
that isn't the case. It has been so far a mixture between comedy and spy which is a combination I didn't think would work that well until I started watching. Anya is as goofy as ever, Loid is still a great mixture of a family man that is also a pretty cool spy and Yor is still a lovable mother that I wish they would do more with.
Season 3 has also been really interesting in the way of the characters. It was really interesting to see how Loid became Agent Twilight and his past with his parents, seeing how he grew up, meeting his childhood friends, how he met Franklin and how he was recruited into being an Agent. Twilight and his backstory set a tone for what season 3 would ultimately become and I liked it a lot. The stakes in missions were way more high and intense with one of my biggest examples of what happened with Anya and the academy (really trying to avoid spoilers).
As of writing this review there is only one more episode left in season 3 that is yet to release and I feel like from start to finish this series has been continuously great. My only real critique comes with some characters not getting a lot of attention. For example Agent Nightfall and Yuri, I'd like to know more about these 2 but they're not seen very often. This goes double for Yor. Yor has potential to have really good episodes but despite her being an assassin, she's mainly seen as a house wife that can be pretty ditsy when she wants to be. We've already seen what she's capable of, yet she seems tied back. This season all we've really seen is her getting drunk and hang out with Damians mother once. She almost feels like a background character when she's one of the main cast. I'd love if she could do more. I think it'd be really funny if she could help Twilight out with missions, even if she doesn't realize she's doing it. It just feels like wasted potential.
Overall, still really like this season a lot and I hope season 4 will focus on some more back stories and getting Anya some more stars

I had a feeling I was going to enjoy this seasonal anime, but I didn't expect to enjoy it THIS much. Not only enough to rate it a 10, but also go as far as to consider it to be in my top 5 anime. I'm seriously enjoying it that much. The seasonal anime this time around has been really hit and miss for me, most of them dropping because I haven't enjoyed them. This feels like a pallet refresher.
Mechanical Marie follows Marie who has debt and in order to help overcome that she takes a job offer to work as a "robot" for
...
Arthur as he is constantly being attacked or someone is trying to kill him. The guy being pretty damn stupid believes Marie to be a Robot and Marie serves him in his day to day life whilst trying to protect him and her identity.
Personally, I am really enjoying this watch. By far one of my favourites of the season. The comedy and jokes land well. For example in episode 8 (the latest as of writing this review) - Marie almost blows her cover of not being a Robot by saying she was a lawnmower before being made into a Robot which I found so stupid and funny at the same time.
I can't really say much without spoiling anything and it's better to just watch it. It's one of those shows that you shouldn't take too seriously. It's a more laid back watch but it also has some genuinely sweet moments that if you're into Rom/Coms like I am, this is definitely a solid watch in my opinion. I haven't rated many shows a 10/10 on MAL, but this one has been consistently a fantastic anime to me and I really hope it gets a season 2 in the future.

My Awkward Senpai: One of the very few shows I have been enjoying this season. I would go as far as to say this anime is under rated.
My Awkward Senpai follows Yuu, a Junior that has just begun work at a new company and has been assigned to work with his senpai Azusa. Azusa is the type to look tough, calm, composed and professional but a lot of the times that's an act. She's tasked with training the new hire and this can lead to comical situations. Whilst at work she maintains this show, at home she's just your average adult coasting through life
...
as a single 20+ year old
MAS has been what I can only describe as a pallet refresher. I've seen a lot of romance anime in my time. Some good, some bad. This one feels different. I absolutely have been loving this anime for a few reasons:
1. The chemistry between the two has felt natural and not forced: They didn't start out having feelings, but gradually over time they're moving into that and it hasn't felt like someone is forcing them to do something or they've realized it from the beginning and they just can't say it for 12 episodes
2. The way they interact with each other and defend each other is also natural and sweet: Yuu never hesitating to stick up for Azusa or Azusa looking out for Yuu. It makes for some genuine and sweet moments
3. Work related jokes and comedy: mainly because I work to pay my mortgage off and it just feels relatable. Also makes it funnier that when Azusa comes home she likes to play games and has barely anything in the fridge. This is just me.
there are many more reasons but I don't want to spoil anything. That's the hard part about writing these reviews. I try to keep it spoiler free. Overall I'm loving this anime and I'm praying that when season 1 ends, it ends up getting a season 2 because I don't want this to be the only thing I see from My Awkward Senpai

I'm not entirely sure why I'm still watching this anime, maybe it's because I don't completely hate it, but I'm also not finding it to be that good of an anime. Out of all the seasonal anime I'm watching there's only 3 of them that I like, that being Spy x Family s3, My Awkward Senpai and Mechanical Marie. Inexpressive Kashiwada has been a very meh anime to me.
A basic summery is there's a girl called Kashiwada and she doesn't tend to show emotion at all. Even if she's happy, sad, angry or even confused she pretty much always has a blank expression on
...
her face. Oota, a guy in her class does everything in his power to make her break this cycle and get her to react (for some reason) and so goes their day to day lives in school doing various things. It's a very run of the mill anime.
Personally I like my comedies, slice of life and romance anime so this to me felt like a must watch. However, my main issue with this show has not been Kashiwada, but Oota. Oota comes across as a complete shit stain. Kashiwada will just be minding her own business or be having a good time and Oota comes along and just ruins the mood by doing something to fuck with her. All because she doesn't react. Sometimes it even comes across as down right cruel. I already find him to be incredibly annoying as is, but with the constant bullying I just find him to be a completely horrible character. Kashiwada, I find to be a great character. I have no issues with her because despite being emotionless, I find her to be entertaining but I really don't like Oota.
The episodes themselves are fine, nothing to go crazy over. When it's your typical Rom/Com, you're not going to get anything out of the ordinary.
If the anime picks up in the last couple of episodes I'll edit or rewrite this review as I've only watched up to episode 7 (the latest as of writing this)

I wouldn't typically review an anime after only 6 episodes, but I feel like I have to get my thoughts out on this one whilst it's fresh on my mind.
Hero without a class is another run of the mill anime about the main character being over powered and being able to defeat pretty much anyone he comes across without any issues whatsoever. It's a trope that has been done to death at this point and honestly I'm at the point I don't mind it because of that fact. Sometimes I won't finish them if I just find them downright boring and Hero without a
...
Class I'm finding it somewhere down the middle. I'm liking it, I do plan on continuing it, but I'm not finding it to be anything more than ok at best.
My main issue with the show comes from Arel, the main character of the show. I find that guy to be ridiculously dull. His ENTIRE personality is about getting stronger. He can be defined under a term known as "Flanderization" a term used to giving a character one personality and one personality only. In this case the only thing Arel cares about, is getting stronger to compensate not having a blessing from the god of the world. I'm all for a character wanting to get stronger, but when an entire character can't even have fun, crack jokes or talk about anything other than his training. It gets to the point it gets stale very fast. Episode 6 has just finished as of writing this and despite his accomplishments so far, he's still going on about getting stronger. We can't just have even a 5 minute break from it.
A lot of these animes do this, mainly Isekai: They will focus less on making a good story and instead focus on getting the main character as strong as possible in such a short space of time. They will do this to a point that they're defeating everything really fast and there's no build up, and there's almost nothing to watch. Hero without a Class also has a ridiculous amount of time skips and moments that he will coincidently have learned a new skill or ability off screen so that the current scenario benefits from it. You don't see this though so it almost feels like a slideshow of events. It's disappointing. This anime has potential but they haven't done anything with it. I can't care about a character or an anime if I'm not given a reason to care. When there's no build up or tension, it gives me nothing to hype up or get excited about which leads it to be lack luster.
Overall, anime is fine but is quite disappointing. Unless it picks up in the last 6 episodes I wouldn't watch a second season of this because each episode feels like deja vu
6/10

I can see why this is the lowest rated anime on MyAnimeList... that was absolute ass
The Anime does a piss poor job at explaining literally anything. You're going to have a hard time trying to figure out what the plot for this is because it doesn't really explain it at all other than a news broadcaster saying a monster has appeared. That's all there is to really take away from this one. It goes from scene to scene at such a fast pace that I felt like I was watching a heavily condensed movie on TikTok or something
The animation was also pretty ass for 99%
...
of it, most of the character designs were fine but it was mostly ass. The anime aired in 2004 according to MAL which for context, some others that also aired in 2004 was Bleach, Elfen Lied, Howl's Moving Castle and School Rumble. When I was watching Skelter Heaven I honestly thought it was an 80s anime but I was shocked to see this was released in the same year as some of the big names in anime. Even Naruto, a show that came out in 2002 was visually way better.
Skelter I feel does have potential to be something decent, but it's over shadowed by the pacing and the pretty ass story. I may be biased because I don't tend to like Mecha anime. I can't really think of any that I have enjoyed so far. It's why I dropped Darling in the Franxx because I plain didn't like it. This one kept my attention, but it failed to be interesting. If the pace wasn't so bad, I may have liked it. Also the random love confession from Rin at the end was so unnecessary and just came out of nowhere. It did nothing for the plot, she just randomly said it.
Not sure what they were trying to do with Skelter Heaven, not even sure they knew themselves. Just another forgettable anime to add to the list I suppose

I'm not going to say I hated this season, because I didn't. However, to say this season was good would be a bit of a stretch in my eyes. I've reviewed the last 3 seasons, so I felt obligated to write one for this season as I was really looking forward to Season 4 after getting hyped after watching the last few episodes of season 3 but in short this season fell kinda flat.
Season 1: Amazing
Season 2: It was alright, bit boring though in my opinion
Season 3: Pretty good, really enjoyed it
Season 4: It felt very bland. Almost like a filler season more than
...
anything. The first few episodes almost nothing happens. It just focuses on Naofumi and the others wanting a boat but is continuously left with not getting one for one reason or another. It then transitions into some lore for Atla and Fohl (which I did appreciate as I did find that to be interesting)
The season progresses and it really continues to go at a slow pace for basically the entire season. The only time it felt like we got some action other than the fight between Fohl and Jaralis was the final episode. It felt like such a slow burner season which I don't mind not having action in every episode, but it's really making me question the direction this series is heading and whilst I don't hate this season, it's not making me that excited for a season 5. I'm really hoping this isn't going to be the direction Shield Hero is going as I've really enjoyed this anime up until now and I hope in season 5 it's going to be a bit more interesting and it's going to be slightly more fast pace.
5/10

Have you ever watched a show that you thought was so sweet, you thought you were going to get diabetes? - that's Fragrant Flower for me. It's been a while since I've watched a show that I've actually been sad that's it's over; which I think really speaks volumes as I've watched many anime and whilst a vast majority of them I've been disappointed that there's no more episodes, this one left me feeling empty. I'm really praying this one is getting a season 2 in the future as I really enjoyed this one. There are a few points I want to make but I'll
...
get to that.
Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity follows Rintaro, a high schooler who works part time at his family's bakery. A girl, known as Kaoruko is a regular there and one day these 2 meet up and start hanging out. The story follows their time together and helping Rintaro out with his self confidence due to people thinking he's scary despite the fact there's nothing scary about the guy. It makes it harder though because of the girls school hating the guys school. Keeping it as non descriptive as possible to avoid spoilers.
There was a one part of this anime that I didn't like and that was the rivalry between both of the schools because unless it's something I missed or I didn't understand, there is an unexplained rivalry between the schools. It comes more from the girls side, the guys even admit in one episode they have no quarrel between the girls. So why is there this rivalry? Upon looking it up on Google I can't find any explanation on it. It just rubbed me the wrong way, especially because the overall anime was really sweet and I loved the growing relationship between both Rintaro and Waguri.
Each episode felt really well put together, I especially enjoyed their trip to the Aquarium because it felt like we finally got a solid episode of just them two together. Romance anime have a really annoying habit of letting the couple get together in the last few minutes of the final episode so you never really get to see them together unless we're lucky to get a season 2 like Clannad or the recently announced Angel Next Door s2. With the Aquarium episode it felt like we got to see them together and it was nice to see.
The cast of characters were all pretty solid also with the exception of Subaru. I didn't like her really at all. I feel like she was implemented pretty poorly and when she started "opening up" I personally didn't care all that much due to how she was first shown to us.
Overall, I found this anime pretty great. I think we can all agree Waguri is the best girl of 2025 and I really hope we can get a season 2 one day. Also side note, glad I watched this in English Sub because that dub AINT IT and that's coming from someone that prefers dub.
8/10

I can already tell I am going to get absolutely clowned on for this review and to be honest, I am 100% ok with this. I have already accepted it.
Rent a Girlfriend. What in the fuck can I say about this show that hasn't been said by now? This is going to be a very clowned on statement but I like RAG. I find this show to be very enjoyable despite its many issues. Let's take it from the top. I'm not going to individually review each season because I can't be fucked. However, I'll do a summary.
Rent a Girlfriend is about a
...
guy known as Kazuya, who rents out a girl known as Chizuru due to being dumped by his partner Mami. He then falls in love with Chizuru and the story goes in so many goddamn directions, it's pretty hard to summarize the events
Season 1: Really enjoyed - Introduced us to the cast of characters, and gave us possibly the most frustrating confession I have ever witnessed in a romance anime and I have seen a lot of romance anime.
Season 2: Also really liked, not the best season. However, it showed Kazuya was willing to go through great lengths just for Chizuru. It also expanded on the characters back stories.
Season 3: By far my favorite season of the bunch so far. It also introduced us to Yaemori who was a fantastic character.
Season 4: What in the fuck was the start of this season? - The first 30 seconds of the show starts of with Kazuya gooning and having a mini Sumi covering his crotch (why'd they have to do Sumi like that?) - This season follows Kazuya on a trip with Chizuru, his Grandma, Mami and Ruka and a few other friends that are mostly just there. Mami is dead set on telling Granny about the fake relationship and what's really been going on. They all get into ridiculous situations to try and avoid all that and Kazuya tries non stop to try and ask Chizuru out to make a lie into a truth.
Despite the completely out of pocket start to the season, I actually liked this season. Don't get me wrong, it was probably my least favorite out of all the seasons, but I still liked it. I do wish we got more Sumi and Yaemori, but that's complete biased because Sumi is my favorite. I do wish she was there though for real because she's more of the voice of reason and she's a fantastic support. She could have been there to comfort.
As for the cast
Chizuru: I like, she seems the most normal out of all of them, but I do really wish she would learn to speak up and stop letting people walk over her. She could have easily told Mami to piss off and mind her own, but she didn't. There were so many times, but she just didn't.
Sumi: The best girl (biased) - Consistently has been a fantastic character, a great support, adorable and overall a great girl. Really wish she got more screen time and I'm not just saying that because she is my favorite, but she's also gotten the least amount of screen time in this anime and that's disappointing because the episodes with Sumi feel so refreshing and they're really sweet.
Ruka: annoying
Yaemori: She feels like the voice of all the audience. When we're basically begging for plot progression and for these 2 to finally get together. Yaemori feels like the personification of all of us and she's there to pass our message on. She literally out right tells Chizuru how Kazuya feels. She did in 1 episode what he couldn't do for 3 seasons. She was a very well needed character.
Mami: It's annoying how she knows how to make a great point. I can't get a read on her to be honest. I can't tell if she's doing it to get back at Kazuya for breaking up, because she actually cares about him or she just wants to be a dick. I can't tell, but every time she has made a good point. About how Chizuru has really dragged this on and how she really needs to come clean.
Rent a Girlfriend is not a show for people who are a fan of romance anime because if you're wanting a confession, it's basically never going to happen. It's more for people just wanting a laid back anime (that is the best way I can put that) as whilst yes there is romance portions, it never goes anywhere and it feels quite frustrating at times. I don't know why I like RAG so much, but I just do.
My order goes from best to worst: Sumi, Chizuru, Yaemori, Mami, Ruka
7/10

Out of all the anime that was on going this season, I did not expect this one to be my favorite, but it ended up being the one I enjoyed the most. Which was a pleasant surprise, especially because it doesn't feel like it was going to have a lot going on.
Outcasts Restaurant follows a guy known as Denis who is a level 99 Chef, who was kicked from a famous adventurers guild. Instead of being mad, or out for revenge. Dennis takes this opportunity to pursue his dream of owning his own restaurant. Along the way he meets a girl being sold away
...
known as Atelier and buys her to help with the restaurant. Along the way he meets new people, helps them with their problems and gets a loyal customer base.
I wasn't sure how much they were going to do with this one. At first I thought it was just going to be a show about cooking or something along those lines as we already have anime that are similar to that concept. However, I feel like the way they did this anime was really well done and it was a lot more interesting than expected. For example: Dennis's backstory was an interesting one, Vivias story was more sad than I expected, Ateliers story was completely unexpected (really trying to avoid spoilers here hence why I'm being so vague).
Each episode had me smiling a lot by the end of it and I really enjoyed this one. I really want this to get a season 2 but I doubt it will. I very rarely rate any anime a 10, and for this one it was originally a 9 but with how much I enjoyed it, I had to give it a 10.
10/10
