- StarsAaron DismukeAoi KogaMakoto FurukawaThe proudly privileged top two students of an elite school each makes it their mission to be the first to extract a confession of love from the other.9/10, Season 3. All the previous seasons culminate in a fantastic finale. What felt like episodic comedy skits has transformed by now into skits with more obvious plot progression. Simply love these characters, almost all of them not just Kaguya and "President". Having read the manga there is so much great content to adapt, can't wait.
- StarsTakuya EguchiAtsumi TanezakiAlex OrganA spy on an undercover mission gets married and adopts a child as part of his cover. His wife and daughter have secrets of their own, and all three must strive to keep together.9/10, the "Spy" half of Spy x Family is almost unneeded, seeing the dynamic between these three and their lives can very well be enough. Almost a bonus to see the adult pair do their thing and Anya fumbling at trying to help. Can't wait for second season.
- StarsNatsuki HanaeStephen FuJohn ChoiDue to the death of her childhood friend, Shinpei returns to her native home, but beneath the surface this island seems to hold some secrets.9/10
- CreatorAki HamajiStarsYoshino AoyamaSayumi SuzushiroSaku MizunoHitori "Bocchi-chan" Gotoh is a lonely high school girl whose heart lies in her guitar. One day, she meets Nijika Ijichi and joins 'Kessoku Band'. After that, her daily life starts to change little by little.9/10, started off shaky but quickly grew into something to love.
- StarsDavid VincentMatthew MercerDaisuke OnoThe story of the Joestar family, who are possessed with intense psychic strength, and the adventures each member encounters throughout their lives.9/10 for Stone Ocean. Jolyne great addition to the Joestar family, great Stands as well. If this finishes this version of JoJo timeline what an ending.
- StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed and get traumatized, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.9/10, Final Season Part 2. The hype is so overwhelming, certainly a great show if not the greatest. At this point waiting for the show to trip and fall on its face as the ending comes though.
- StarsRie TakahashiYûki KajiKonomi KoharaIf you blush, you lose. Nishikata has been teased mercilessly by Takagi and always winds up blushing! But he vows to one day get back at her.9/10, Season 3. Story of these two coming together, funny and heartwarming, glad that the show didn't continue to spin its wheels with the teasing and is actually moving forward.
- CreatorRafal JakiStarsZach AguilarKagga JaysonKenichiro OhashiA Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.8/10, Characters might not be the strongest, the animation and fight sequences are what is prominent and wow is it great. The former keeps this from being fantastic for me but the latter makes it still really good. Rule of cool reigns here.
- StarsTakahiro SakuraiSetsuo ItoChris NiosiA psychic middle school boy tries to live a normal life and keep his growing powers under control, even though he constantly gets into trouble.8/10, Season 3. Animation rules as usual and the characters which often didn't grab my heart did a better job in this final season. Even Mob's "teacher" actually got me to care about him and he usually annoyed me. Great goodbye for the show.
- StarsLuci ChristianBrittany LaudaMiyu TomitaA girl and her robot companion search for her mother, who's lost within a vast chasm.8/10, Season 2. Got more emotional and memorable in second half but first half was more of a drag for me, new characters just didn't hit home as they were introduced. Quality on par with previous movie, a mid-8 overall I think. Continues to drag your emotions over concrete and somewhat succeeded in affecting me.
- StarsNatsuki HanaeZach AguilarAbby TrottA family is attacked by demons and only two members survive - Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko, who is turning into a demon slowly. Tanjiro sets out to become a demon slayer to avenge his family and cure his sister.8/10, Entertainment District Arc
- CreatorTite KuboStarsMasakazu MoritaJohnny Yong BoschTakayuki SugôThe peace is suddenly broken when warning sirens blare through the Soul Society. Residents are disappearing without a trace and nobody knows who's behind it. Meanwhile, a darkness is approaching Ichigo and his friends in Karakura Town.8/10, I think both this and Demon Slayer are about the same, fantastic animation and fight sequences with story and characters being not so fantastic. Solid 8.
- CreatorShinichi FukudaStarsHina SugutaShoya IshigeAmaLeeA quiet loner and the popular girl at school find common ground, making their cosplay dreams come true.8/10, Premise could have made quite the boring show and instead I cared about this pair. Relationship progression satisfying and comedy and emotional impact landed. Fanservice wasn't too heavyhanded and actually worked most of the time, worked into what was happening on screen instead of just random nonsense. All around solid show, no harem as of yet thankfully.
- StarsMasakazu MoritaJun FukuyamaRie KugimiyaIn ancient China, a young boy dreams of becoming the greatest general of the Qin Kingdom.8/10, Season 4. What can be said? If the previous seasons were seen and enjoyed then more will be found here.
- StarsDaiki YamashitaJustin BrinerNobuhiko OkamotoA superhero-admiring boy enrolls in a prestigious hero academy and learns what it really means to be a hero, after the strongest superhero grants him his own powers.8/10, Season 6. Definite improvement over the poor season 5, low 8. Not sure I like some of the story points but it hits the fan this season.
- StarsRyôtarô OkiayuKaede HondoJun FukushimaThe music industry becomes a battlefield when ancient strategist Kongming is transported to modern Japan. He'll use military tactics to turn his new friend Eiko into a music star, and together they'll take Shibuya by storm.7/10, I enjoyed this overall but I found the rapping part of this to be annoying and dragged the score down from an 8 to a 7 unfortunately.
- StarsKikunosuke ToyaRyan Colt LevyTomori KusunokiFollowing a betrayal, a young man left for dead is reborn as a powerful devil-human hybrid after merging with his pet devil and is soon enlisted into an organization dedicated to hunting devils.7/10, Good animation and fights, subpar characters and decent story. Last few episodes great. If fanservice was cut back on and I could care more about what is happening beyond "oooh" to the action would rate higher. Beyond the violence don't see this a whole lot different from other shounen, overrated imo.
- DirectorHiroaki AkagiStarsRie TakahashiYûki KajiKonomi KoharaTakagi and Nishikata are in their final year of middle school, and have both anxiety and hope for the future. During the summer of their final year, on the day before summer vacation starts, the two find a kitten that they name Hana. They decide to take care of the kitten themselves until they can find its mother.7/10, Movie finishing off season 3 from earlier in year that I rated higher. I'll admit to being disappointed. End point was what I desired but it got there so abruptly I didn't have the emotional satisfaction that I should have.
- StarsGen SatôSora AmamiyaNatalie RialKo, a human boy, falls in love with Nanakusa, a vampire girl, and wants to become a vampire too, but Nanakusa invites him to her abandoned building just to taste the sweet blood from her neck.7/10, Decent show, would give a 7 for most and borderline 9 for final 3 eps. Still 7 overall though. Wish they made the MC a high schooler, makes things unnecessarily awkward for him to be fourteen.
- 2022– 12 epsTV-147.3 (1.7K)TV SeriesCreatorMishima YomuStarsTakeo OtsukaKana IchinoseFairouz AiA young man is transported into a video game world dominated by females.7/10, This is nothing special but it was better than I thought it was going to be. Has decent plot and characters, not just stupid "comedy". Sure has the fanservice and typical MC but there is enough here that I'll watch a S2.
- CreatorTakeStarsNaomi OhzoraKenji AkabaneAyana TaketatsuSakurai Shinichi's one wish is for a little peace and quiet. But Uzaki Hana his boisterous, well-endowed underclassman has other plans. All she wants is to hang out and poke fun at him, this might be the start of a beautiful relationship.7/10, Had highs and lows, not much more room for delay with these two, conclusion needs to come. Outright fanservice actually less than season 1.
- StarsKishô TaniyamaTomori KusunokiErin YvetteWhen evil forces threaten to resurrect Anthrasax, the God of Destruction, the Kingdom of Meta-llicana calls on a volatile dark wizard for help.7/10, Its over the top, violence and fan service with flat characters should make this terrible but it manages to somehow be watchable. Fights manage to be entertaining in a humorous way and this show clearly can't be taken seriously. Certainly can't be described as a "good" show though. Will completely understand anyone who passes on this.
- CreatorDaisuke AizawaStarsSeiichiro YamashitaHaruka ShiraishiInori MinaseWhen Cid is isekai'd to another world, he creates an underground organization to live out a fight against a made-up cult. Little does he know the cult is real, and they're not happy his power fantasy just impeded their plans.7/10, First 4 eps are so are barely passable for me but it does improve as it goes. Shadow doesn't really care about what is going on though so its hard for me to care either. "Comedy" with him being OP and yawning as he defeats everyone around him. Since its so easy for him and he doesn't have any emotion about what is going on around him why should I care either? I guess its a decent enough show, mid 7 if I'm being generous, flat 7 when being realistic.
- DirectorTetsuro KodamaStarsMasako NozawaAya HisakawaRyô HorikawaThe Red Ribbon Army from Goku's past has returned with two new androids to challenge him and his friends.7/10, Second half better than first when story focuses up, too much fat on movie though, just wasn't as interested as in previous Broly film. Flat 7 I think. Might be generous. Didn't care for animation either. Pan was cute and Gohan finally isn't the joke he has been after Cell.
- CreatorWataru MomoseStarsRie TakahashiMikako KomatsuYûichirô UmeharaLiving her best single life, romance is the last thing on Anzu's mind, until a tiny matchmaking wizard suddenly turns her life into a clichéd rom-com.7/10, I would have liked this show more but Riri was such an annoying character that it made it really hard to enjoy when they were on screen. Tsukasa is obvious choice but anime ends with no conclusion, I see manga ended here as well. Netflix suggested a season 2 and I hope so, get some anime original, would drop my view of the show further if it ends with nothing solved like this. 7/10 for what it is, comedy outside of Riri was good but everything else about the show was fluff.
