Kamitsubaki City Under Construction is an anime that doesn’t appeal to everyone. If you aren't a fan of the Kamitsubaki Studio V.W.P. Girls, who are the protagonists of the series, or if you dislike CGI animation, there's a good chance that this anime won't suit your taste.

If you do give it a chance, don’t let its slow start fool you. Kamitsubaki City Under Construction had an insane redemption from the mistakes in its first half. While it starts as a mildly interesting but extremely dark and depressing series, one which relies in shock value for its appeal instead of focusing on the girls and ... their music, the story has some plot twists that completely change the way you see it, turning it from an edgy, mid at best anime, into one that actually manages to convey what these girls' songs make you feel when you listen to them. The animation is also extremely good for a CGI anime, having a unique style, and above all, the songs are stunningly good.

While Kamitsubaki City Under Construction had its mistakes, and it's not for everyone, it doesn’t deserve such a low score. I strongly recommend giving it a chance if you are a Kamitsubaki Studio fan or if you want to learn more about them.

Nyaruko isn’t for everyone, and its fine, not everyone likes its over the top humor, moe, and nonsense, which is perfectly understandable.

But if you are the kind of person who likes that kind of thing, Nyaruko might just be one of the most perfectly executed works of comedy in fiction, maybe ever. The way each joke meshes with each other, the references to other media (and to itself) in each of them, and the comedic timing makes for an execution that will for sure have anyone rolling in the ground laughing.

And it doesn’t stop there, looking further from the funny parts, the romance and actual ... story plots hidden beneath are simply amazing, with each arc getting progressively better and more thought out than the previous one. Mahiro and Nyaruko’s relationship goes from being the punch line of every joke to becoming the fuel for an amazing story later on.

Each character gets their respective screen time and development in a way that makes it clear how much they improved (even Mahiro, who is undeniably a bum at the start of the series), in such a way that no matter who your favorite character is, you will get to see them bloom.

If you like over the top comedy and moe, but also with an actual story and development in it, Haiyore! Nyaruko-San might be a great option for you.
