movie stands out for its powerful action scenes, which take up most of the runtime and are truly enjoyable with excellent production quality. However, the story is the film’s weak point. It feels repetitive, following a predictable and traditional plot: the hero meets a girl, only for us to discover she is a spy sent to kill him, and in the end she falls in love with him but dies.

Reze, the film’s heroine, has a strange yet entertaining personality. We don’t really learn much about her background, except for a brief hint that she was part of a child training program. Because of that, I ...

This season focused heavily on the escape from Stanley until the characters reached their goal, but the writing felt very shallow. The escape and the inventions were presented too quickly, unlike previous seasons. However, once they arrived and the battle against Stanley began, the anime’s tone shifted to a much more serious one.

The writer continued with the characters’ naivety, which raises the question: what was the point of them inventing the ghost ship only for Zeno to sabotage it? Worse, Zeno didn’t show any cleverness; he was simply able to act freely because they don't monitor him.

The new character, Dr. Chelsea, the geographer, was written ...

The events continue from the first season with the Fire Dragon mission, followed by side missions until the war and political coup begin. Overall, it was enjoyable but fell short of the first season's level due to some events feeling irrelevant to the main storyline. Additionally, there were episodes with a modified version from the studio, including the ending.

With the expansion of the world, the number of characters increased significantly. The role of the Itami' Battalion diminished, and new characters took up more than two episodes dedicated to them, or even an entire arc. This was a positive aspect, as it developed the side characters.

The story is highly distinctive, revolving around the sudden appearance of a gate in the middle of Tokyo's Ginza district, from which a medieval army emerges, marking the start of the narrative.
The writing takes a unique turn, focusing on Japan's response and the military's venture through the gate, alongside political conflicts with other nations.
Beyond the gate, in the other world, the struggle with the Empire begins, showcasing how the military deals with magic, different races, and other creatures.
The story's pacing is excellent, and the incorporation of politics and the portrayal of leaders' vulnerabilities add a compelling layer, illustrating how nations pressure each other, even ...

A fantasy world, but this time it’s not about adventurers, rather explorers. The writer could change the name to break away from the usual conventions. The story revolves around Noel, whose dream is to achieve the same title as his grandfather, the greatest explorer. However, he lacks any significant powers, relying solely on strategy and charisma. He is determined to achieve his dream no matter the cost or reputation.

The world is open and resembles typical adventure stories, but it stands out with the emergence of what I’d call demons rising from beneath the earth, each belonging to a different class, becoming increasingly difficult as they ...

The story is based on "Eighth Grade Syndrome," where teenagers believe they have special powers and mimic unique, "cool" characters. The protagonist decides to abandon this behavior upon entering high school, but is surprised to encounter a girl wearing an eye patch, and the story revolves around how he tries to live a normal life with her presence.

Yuta and Rika are one of the most beloved duos in the anime world because their relationship doesn't start romantically. The focus is initially on their individual characters and their synergy, with the romantic aspect developing later. The story emphasizes all its characters, which strengthens the "slice of ...

The story revolves around Ranma, who returns from training in China but is cursed to transform into a girl when splashed with cold water and back into a boy with hot water. His father then informs him of an arranged marriage with Akane, the daughter of his friend.

The story is a slice-of-life with daily adventures, featuring a light romantic vibe and comedic action. It’s considered a classic, and I really enjoyed the old version.

The events are entertaining with good pacing, but some feel unnecessarily prolonged, especially the challenges like the gymnastics and skating competitions, which happened twice. Due to the exaggerated comedic tone, the sense ...

The story revolves around Lloyd, a war orphan raised by a hero. After maturing, he ventures into the outside world, where his exaggerated, unmatched strength becomes apparent, though he remains unaware of his own power. Upon joining a hero's party, he is marginalized, then expelled, and his adventures begin with an S-rank party.

The story is extremely simple, superficial, and heavily repetitive. What makes such stories successful is the narrative style, the excitement of events, and the harmony between characters, but here, that didn’t happen. It feels like a poor imitation of repetitive stories, lacking soul.

All the characters lack prominence, whether in writing or design. ...

The story is about trying to save a large amusement park from closure and how it’s managed to meet the required numbers. That’s the basic premise, but it has a special magical angle: we discover that the staff aren’t human but beings from a magical world, and they have a mysterious princess. The story balances realism and fantasy we see Kanie’s management skills, crisis management, and marketing tactics. In each episode we discover a new area of the park, how he repairs or repurposes it, and uses it to increase visitor numbers.

"I can say that with the unique story, it was also supported by unique ...

The story continues directly from season one with a cliffhanger.
Since I watched it weekly, I felt the pacing more. Maybe if I watched multiple episodes at once it, it would’ve been more enjoyable.
I’d say this season is split into three arcs:

Arc 1: The Fight with Worm Alien & Evil Eye (Ep. 1–4)
The events were fun and full of action, but you can see the author’s chaotic style in battles and character placement. Between episodes 3 and 4, it felt disconnected, with one episode passing without a proper battle like filler in long-running anime.

Arc 2: Evil Eye’s Purification (Ep. 5–9)
For me, this was the best part ...
