I swear, the first few episodes were like trying to get a cat to take a bath - it was a struggle, and I was this close to giving up. But, I'd heard great things about it, so I persisted. And boy, am I glad I did.
Around the midpoint, things started to pick up, and I mean, really pick up. The plot got twisty, the characters got more complex, and I found myself actually caring about what happened next. And then, the final fight scene happened... Akatsu and Zwei going head-to-head? Mind. Blown. I was screaming at my screen like a lunatic, and my roommate

I'm still trying to figure out why I stuck with this anime for as long as I did. I mean, the premise had some potential - a guy trying to escape his family's toxic legacy by becoming a monk? That's some interesting stuff. But no, instead we get Akemitsu, the most indecisive protagonist I've ever had the misfortune of watching.
He's all about avoiding his dad's womanizing ways, but then he meets some woman and suddenly he's all about "temptation this" and "desire that". Make up your mind, dude! And don't even get me started on the supporting cast - they're about as deep as a ... Aug 13, 2024
This anime is a hilarious ride, packed with wacky characters, ridiculous situations, and a healthy dose of humor.
The show's premise is simple: a successful manga artist and his quirky team of assistants get into all sorts of silly misadventures. But the execution is pure gold. Each episode is a self-contained comedy gem, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and witty one-liners. What I love about this anime is its playful, lighthearted vibe. It's not trying to be deep or profound; just a fun, entertaining romp. The characters are lovable and relatable, with Aito's passion for manga shining through. If I have any criticisms, it's that the show can ... Aug 12, 2024
Ugh, where do I even start? I was so stoked for Season 2 of Science Fell in Love after the delightful first season. But, man, the finale left me feeling like I'd been punk'd. I mean, what happened to the quirky charm and lovable characters I fell for?
The season started strong, with Shinya and Ayame's relationship blossoming in adorable ways. The supporting cast still brought the laughs, and the science-y bits remained fascinating. But as the episodes ticked by, things started to feel...off. The pacing was wonky, plot threads got dropped, and the humor fell flat. And don't even get me started on the ending. I'm ... Aug 12, 2024
As a romance anime fan, I was sold on the premise alone - who wouldn't want to watch a show about scientists trying to prove love through data?
Shinya and Ayame's partnership is pure magic. Their banter is witty, their experiments are hilarious, and their chemistry is undeniable. I loved how the show pokes fun at traditional rom-com tropes while still delivering a heartwarming love story. The animation is bright and cheerful, the soundtrack is infectious, and the supporting cast is equally lovable. I appreciated how the characters' quirks and flaws make them relatable and human. What truly sets this show apart is its lighthearted approach to love. ... Aug 11, 2024

This anime has left me speechless, and I'm not even kidding when I say it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
The animation? Top-notch. The way Ko Yamori's emotions were conveyed through his expressions and movements? Unbelievable. I felt like I was right there with him, experiencing every high and low. And Nazuna Nanakusa? Oh man, her character development is insane! From her initial sassiness to her vulnerable moments, I was completely invested in her journey. But what really got me was the storytelling. It's like the creators took all my favorite themes - music, love, loss, and self-discovery - and wove them into ... Aug 10, 2024

This anime is like a gentle breeze on a summer day - soothing, calming, and utterly captivating.
I stumbled upon this series while browsing through anime recommendations, and I'm so glad I took the plunge. The story is simple yet profound, with characters that feel like old friends. Josee's sassiness and Tsuneo's quiet strength had me hooked from the start. What resonated with me most was the way the anime explores the human condition. It's like the creators took all the complexities of life - the struggles, the triumphs, the mundane moments - and wove them into this beautiful tapestry that's both poignant and uplifting. I loved how ... Aug 9, 2024

I'm still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster it took me on when I finished this anime. This anime literally made me cry at the end - I'm talking uncontrollable, snotty tears.
I fell in love with the main characters, Kyoya Hashiba and Eiko Kawakami. Kyoya's struggles to find his place in the world resonated so deeply with me, and Eiko's quirky charm won my heart. Their relationship development was perfection - I shipped them so hard! The supporting cast was amazing too, especially Tsurayuki and Nanako. Their interactions added so much depth to the story, and I loved seeing them grow alongside Kyoya and Eiko. The story is ... Aug 9, 2024

It's not every day you come across a rom-com that's equal parts sweet and frustrating.
I'll start with the good stuff - the characters are pretty well-developed, especially Shizuku and Haru. Their relationship is weirdly adorable, and I loved watching them navigate their feelings for each other. The supporting cast is great too, especially Natsume (he's like the ultimate bro). But here's the thing - the pacing is kinda wonky. Some parts feel rushed, while others drag on forever. And don't even get me started on the plot twists. I mean, I get it, they're trying to keep things interesting, but some of it just feels like ... Aug 8, 2024

My heart is still skipping beats after watching Tamako Love Story! I had a marathon viewing session (don't judge me, I needed a break from adulting) and I'm so glad I did. I went in expecting a lighthearted, fluffy rom-com, but what I got was so much more. Tamako's journey from clueless cutie to selfless sweetheart had me rooting for her from start to finish.
I loved how the movie balanced humor and heartache - I found myself laughing out loud one minute and wiping away tears the next. The animation was gorgeous, the characters were lovable and relatable, and the music... oh man, the music ... |
