I can't believe it took me so long to watch this. Initially I wasn't sure I would like it because the premise just didn't sound that appealing to me, but now that I finally got around to it, well, this is probably the first time I'm genuinely happy a slice-of-life series has a bajillion seasons.

Story 10/10: This is a very interesting show because, though it is certainly episodic, each episode presents an entire story, and that's what sets it apart from other such anime. The stories unfold slowly and the messages are subtle, but by the end of each episode I felt as though I ...

This will include my opinion of the entire show, and will not contain spoilers.
Now, I wouldn't call myself a big sports anime or even shounen anime fan, mainly because I haven't seen very many that have left a strong impression on me, so initially I didn't even plan on watching Haikyuu!!, because I couldn't imagine why I would ever care about volleyball, and when I did pick it up, it was with little to no expectations. However, along way, somehow this became one of my favourite anime of all time.

Story 10/10: I am giving this rating purely because I'm not bothered by weaker/less ...

I'm very conflicted about this anime, because on the one hand it is undoubtedly one of the best shows I've ever seen, but on the other hand it features both the most beautiful and most soul-crushing episode in existence.

Story 10/10: It continues from where the first season left off, but the number of light-hearted episodes is drastically reduced and the overarching plot gets much more focus this time around. I actually started watching this because I got spoiled for a quite important plot point and I wanted to know how that came to be, and somehow knowing it would happen made it all the more ...

I watched some of this like a year ago but dropped it because the episodic formula wasn't really working for me at the time. Then I picked it up again on a whim and finished it in two days. I now completely understand why it is so popular.

Story 10/10: The premise itself is pretty unique and enough to pique one's interest, but the way it unfolds is really what keeps you watching, although most of the intrigue doesn't get resolved this season. It's mostly episodic and definitely not as serious as you'd expect it to be based on the premise, apart from the very last ...

This was on my list of 'anime I will never watch' because of various factors but I decided to watch at least the first episode because it's Madhouse and because the opening animation looks really good. Somehow it ended up being one of my favourite anime. Oh well.

Story 10/10: I didn't even know this was an Isekai before I watched it, therefore I absolutely expected it to be 12 episodes of Shiro and Sora just playing various online games. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was actually my first Isekai anime ever, and I found it interesting from the very beginning, especially the world ...

How do I even put into words my feelings towards this manga. How.

Story 10/10: It has a very interesting structure, wherein it sets up a basic plot, and then it spends quite a lot of time being 'episodic' so to say, just introducing the main characters and the relationships between them and some relevant side-characters. Due to this, it might be called slow because of how long it takes to get to the serious parts, but personally I didn't mind it at all because this way the reader has a lot of time to grow to care about the characters, and the 'episodic' parts are ...

I picked this up on a whim when I was just in the mood for something light-hearted, but I got so much more out of it than expected.

Story 9/10: An anime about a guy trying to live life as lazily as possible probably shouldn't be very interesting, but somehow this one is. Even though it's definitely one of the calmest and most laid-back anime series I've seen, somehow it never feels dull.

Art 10/10: Honestly I can't believe how good it looks. The character designs are easy on the eyes and very fitting for each character's personality, the movement is fluid, and the backgrounds are ...

This is basically as close to perfection as it gets.

Story 10/10: The premise itself is very interesting, what with the protagonists being literal terrorists, and it just gets better as it goes on, though I know a lot of people aren't really satisfied with the direction it took in the second half, but personally I loved every single second of it, even if it wasn't exactly what I expected.

Art 10/10: The art is quite peculiar but god it looks so good. The atmosphere of the show is quite dark and depressing and the colours used fit that perfectly, and sometimes, on still shots, there's this ...

I didn't plan on writing a review for this but I'm just listening to the soundtrack and I need to share my feelings.

Story 8/10: The premise is fairly straightforward, it's basically about Minato, the main character, coming back to archery after having abandoned it for quite some time, and him learning to see the sport itself from a different perspective. I liked Minato's struggle with archery and the team, but to me it felt like his story didn't really have a climax.

Art 9/10: It's KyoAni, so there's a particular level of quality to be expected, but I really hated certain character designs, and the ...

I didn't plan to watch this ever because the art seemed so unappealing and it's so very popular therefore I was sure I would hate it. It's one of my favourite shows now.

Story 9/10: It doesn't really have an overarching plot line, and it is very much episodic, which is a setup I tend to struggle with, but here it works so well, as thanks to the different situations the characters are thrown in each episode, they have ample time and space to be fleshed out and to grow. I kinda hate the ending though.

Art 9/10: It doesn't look as good as some new ...
