Akatsuki no Yona
(Anime)
add
The amazing art style and soundtrack is tremendously enhanced by the random yet striking humorous inserts that never failed to surprise. The characters are also well-developed and likable. The overarching story is interesting. Sadly, the anime ended and does not seem to have a continuation on the horizon while the story in the Manga gets really rolling. Some story bits, especially around the antagonist are heavily contrived though. There are some inexplicable 'Gary Stu' characteristics thrown at him which made the character fall really flat. The crew around Yona on the other hand were much more interesting. Overall, this is a superbly fun show to

Akame ga Kill!

The cool art style and animation can't really help the show's overall lack of focus, character development and creating anything worth any sort of investment beyond some cheap shock factors. The villains are a joke, the heroes are a joke, everyone is a lazy trope and only potentially the powers were interesting. But the scaling was so tremendously off that it just made no sense.

The anime tried to just string together a bunch of cool looking people hoping the cool

It's extremely monotonous and boring and will only be liked by those who crave the 'shy and unremarkable guy is actually amazing' wish fulfillment fantasy. For everybody else, this is a massive waste of time. Art style is okay I guess. I don't understand why this is classified as Seinen, this is made for teens at best. I also forgot every single character due to how unremarkable and boring they were. I find nothing interesting. This has no thriller elements, no mystery, nothing, it's just a bland

Majo no Tabitabi
(Anime)

Overall, this is an okay episodical show about a witch on a journey who meets different people in different places. Most stories are rather forgettable, the standout stronger stories are surely EP 4 and EP 9. What makes this entertaining enough are the likable characters and the humour that isn't overbearing but simply accompanying the rest of the show. The high quality animation and soundtrack also bolster this show. Why is it still a mixed bag then? Because while it does nothing bad, it also does nothing exceptionally well. You can watch it and enjoy your time with it but it won't stick with you
