Words cannot express how happy I am about it. When the trailer for this anime popped up last year, I was beyond happy. Who made me a princess was a manga that I had the opportunity to translate and it was also the first of the manga that won my heart and became my favorite. I am still excited about it to this day. I also really like that even though it is done like donghua, the anime is dubbed in Japanese (thank God for those gifts) and it is a masterpiece! I was expecting more episodes than 16, but hopefully we will see a ... sequel soon. Anyway, in terms of similarity, it is very similar, but not the same. Up until about episode 5-6, it is more or less completely identical and then the anime has its own parts and plots that do not appear in the manga (I recommend reading the manga anyway). Still, it's not changed so much that you can't tell what it's about or what happened there, we always get to what happened in the manga, whether it was identical or not.

And I have just finished this masterpiece. That's why I recommend it to you with a smile on my face, and with it the manga itself.

An anime that I've been watching for a few years... I started the first two episodes, got bored and now I'm back to it because I've been watching the opening 24/7 for a few years now and I'm starting to miss it a lot. I'm glad I made that decision because I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I really enjoyed every second of it and I watched the opening at full blast. This time I didn't cry, which is quite surprising for me, but in one episode I almost did. However, I love how the relationship between siblings and the overall devotion ... and trust is depicted. I expected to like the series, but I didn't expect to be so sucked into it and I really liked it that much. I just want to point out that if you're in the habit of watching series out loud, put on headphones for this one and it's best to watch it somewhere private so there's no misunderstanding (my own experience). Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say about the series. Maybe it's just that it ended the way it did and I'd like to see another series instead of reading the manga or whatever... But one thing I know for sure, now I'll be watching the opening every day and wishing I saw it for the first time again. As for the recommendation itself, I recommend it to everyone who likes anime, games, fighting, sibling bonding, a bit of that 15+ stuff or just wants to beat the boredom.

This is honestly one of those anime that left me confused from the very beginning and even now, I still don’t fully understand everything that happened. Sometimes the story makes perfect sense, and then suddenly something happens and I’m like… nope, lost again. Hopefully that’s understandable, because that’s exactly how the anime feels. But weirdly enough, that’s also part of its charm. The shifting timelines, the different routes, the mysterious atmosphere. It all creates this strange, dreamy feeling where you’re constantly trying to piece things together. Some moments click, others don’t, and then suddenly you understand something only to lose the thread again five minutes ... later. Even with all the confusion, it’s an interesting experience. It’s unique, emotional, and definitely not something you forget easily, even if you’re not entirely sure what you just watched.

A horror anime that will keep you tense from the very beginning and won't let you take your eyes off it. Honestly, I had a guess from the beginning about what the reason would be for the things that happen in the classroom and who is really behind it. Even though I guessed a certain character, I was surprised that I was right at all (it was more like HAH WHAT IF IT WAS THIS CHARACTER IT WOULD BE FUNNY, but that character really was) Anyway, I enjoyed the anime, I liked the main characters and I even watched the OVA, so to speak, and ... if you're looking for a horror anime that you can watch in a day to kill boredom, this is the right series for you❤

This is honestly such a beautiful and unexpectedly hilarious anime. I was dying laughing so many times, the characters, the chaos, the ridiculous situations, everything just hits perfectly. And because of that, I’m genuinely sad it ended the way it did :/ It felt like the story still had so much potential, so many unresolved emotions, and so many moments we could’ve gotten. I swear, I’m still hoping for another season because I NEED MORE DAMN XD The energy, the friendships, the tension, the comedy, it all deserves a proper continuation. It’s one of those shows that leaves you wanting more simply because the world ... and characters are too fun to let go of. If they ever announce a new season, I’m dropping everything and watching it immediately.

This was honestly a movie I didn’t enjoy at first. I watched it for the first time last year, and only a few days ago I realized I never wrote a review for it (I swear, I’m starting to lose track of everything…). The main reason I didn’t like it at the beginning was the graphics. It looks completely different from the rest of the Studio Ghibli films, and that threw me off immediately. But despite that, the movie pulled me into its story unexpectedly fast. Before I even realized it, I was invested, curious, and eventually… I fell in love with it. The charm ... is still there, just in a different form. The characters, the atmosphere, the little magical details, they slowly grow on you. So even if the visuals don’t attract you at first glance because they look “different,” it’s still worth giving it a chance. The heart of Ghibli is still inside, just wrapped in a new style. And once you get past the graphics, the story becomes surprisingly enjoyable.

This is such a beautifully crafted anime, especially when it comes to portraying friendship. I really enjoyed it (more than I expected) and there were moments that genuinely brought tears to my eyes. It has that rare mix of emotional depth and visual intensity that stays with you long after you finish it. This version is newer, of course, even though the original concept is older and there’s also a movie. A lot of people recommend watching the series first because it’s easier to understand, and honestly, I get why. The story hits harder when you have time to connect with the characters and their ... struggles. I’ve been planning to watch it for such a long time, so I’m really glad I finally did. It was absolutely worth it, powerful, emotional, and definitely something I’d pass on to others. The only downside for me is the length. With just 8 episodes and an OVA, it feels incredibly short. It’s a shame, because the world and characters have so much potential. But at the same time, maybe it’s better this way, short, focused, and impactful, instead of dragging things out and losing the emotional punch. Overall, it’s a small but unforgettable experience.

This was honestly the last anime I ever expected to watch, mainly because I’m probably the biggest football hater alive. I avoid football like the plague. But then they announced it would be shown in cinemas here, and I randomly stumbled across the manga… and it actually didn’t look that bad. So I gave it a chance. And honestly? They did a really good job with the production. The animation is clean, the intensity is insane, and the whole concept is super original. Even though I still hate football with my entire soul, the idea behind Blue Lock is so wild and psychological that it ... completely pulled me in. I’ll admit it, I enjoyed the manga more than the anime, so I’ll probably stick with that. But I still finished all 24 episodes, mainly because of my absolute favorite: Bachira. He carried me through the whole thing. I also loved the first group a lot, which was another reason I stayed. And the funniest part? For someone who hates football, I actually forgot about reality for a moment. That’s how cool it was. So yeah, I’m throwing Blue Lock into your recommended list. If you like sports anime, psychological competition, or just pure chaos, you’ll probably love it^^

This was honestly an anime I didn’t want to touch at first. Everywhere I looked, there were spoilers. And when a few people told me it was “boring” or “not that good,” I was even less motivated to start it. But when I finally gave it a chance, I was pleasantly surprised. The animation is gorgeous (and trust me, I’m a huge critic when it comes to animation), the character relationships are so well‑built, and the overall story is just… perfect. It’s original, emotional, and full of moments that hit way harder than you expect. Sure, some people say it gets “boring” at times, ... but honestly? Even during the slower parts, I kept looking forward to the next episode. And the sequels? I was hyped every single time.
