Preliminary (34/? chp)
Of course, the story is still in a relatively early stage, but it's quite good so far. I tend to be quite critical of works like this, as a lot of them are pretty bland, relying on repetitive action sequences to desperately try and carry a mediocre plot... But this story is doesn't need it! It's actually good!

One thing that really stands out in this story is that it switches between a fantasy world (where most of the action takes place) and the "real" world (where most of the strategy takes place). It's a unique element that genuinely does good service in preventing the ...

This manga is atrociously bad. The characters are bland, the exposition drones on, and the plot is the most generic of isekai nonsense. However, the biggest negative is the religious circlejerking. There are ways to write a good religious story - this is not one of them.

The religious philosophy is bland, as if it's written by a freshman university philosophy student. The characters, especially the supposedly "evil" ones in relation to the protagonist, say cartoonish nonsense. The gods never truly earn the devotion that is given to them - they are simply granted such devotion because they are powerful. The followers are rewarded when they ...

This season started off as a mess. Maybe it's a passable mess, but a mess is a mess. Maybe to the average viewer it's enjoyable enough, but it's such a significant downgrade from the manga.

Imagine being given a perfect guide for a test, where you could get the easy 100% score, but instead you decide to deviate from the guide and get a 70% instead. Like, WHAT is the point? Well, that's what this anime did; it took a masterpiece and made it worse for no good reason.

Everything was rushed. Was the plot follow-able? Sure. Was it entertaining enough to keep me watching? Sure. ...

I think I can speak for everyone when I say, "Harry Potter was a classic" - truly, a masterpiece that rocked my small childhood world. Yeah, there were many Harry Potter fans, but I was among the top of them, at the peak, the highest tower in all of Hogwarts, so to speak (that's the astronomy tower, btw). On my 11th birthday, I kept pleading to my parents to let me dress up as a wizard all day, until they finally agreed. I ran around the whole town conjuring up magic and mayhem, like any good young wizard would do. Fortunately, I had found a ...

I'm writing this review before the anime begins because the anime is either gonna be a total hit or a complete flop - and that will 100% depend on the studio's ability to adapt the source material IMO, because the source material itself is easily 10/10.

I'd say it's very easy to mess up the "OP protagonist" story. It's common that in these stories protagonist's primary trait just becomes "wow he/she is OP!" because the character's personality is just... kinda weak with no development. Fortunately, Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! has a protagonist that is actually interesting and likable. Let's go over a few reasons ...

This anime is complete garbage. There is really no way I can sugarcoat it. Out of every anime I have ever watched, I have only rated this one absolutely appalling. I highly recommend anyone with any sort of quality standards stay away from it.

This won't be a long, drawn out review because the problems with this anime are so gross and apparent that there's no need to go into any in-depth analysis.

First comes the characters:

Completely pathetic. Every character in this anime is bland and unlikable. The side characters have basically no personality, and everyone exists only for the sake of bowing down to the ...

I'm so happy this turned out well. Season 3 is exactly what SnK should be.

I didn't think things would necessarily turn out this way, either. In my humble opinion, SnK season TWO was a mess. During the first 6 episodes, the plot, pacing, etc. was completely off and it completely killed the show for me. I wrote a long review about it before but I don't wanna spend too much time talking about SnK s2 when this is about season 3. As season 2 approached the ending, however, it seemed the writing was coming back and I began to enjoy it like I enjoyed ...

Did you come here for GALACTIC HEROES? Well get ready for a full two of them, because everyone else in this show is seemingly incompetent!

Welcome to "Military Space Politics - The Anime!"

I understood what the show was trying to do in the beginning. It started off with a good opening battle, and then pushed out all the backstory so that it could focus on the WAR in the end. But just because it's understandable doesn't mean it's a good way of telling a story. The story was actually the WORST part of this anime. It was just.. mediocre. The beginning was way too ...

How do you make a story about gambling interesting? Make every character absolutely insane.
This is the story (comedy?) of Kakegurui.

The show started out with promise. The characters had a bit of a... uniqueness about them. The main heroine is completely crazy, as you'll find out in like episode 2, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself. It's fine to have an unhinged character to shake up the story a bit.

However, at some point a writer needs to realize when they've gone too far. There's a point where the story just becomes way too unrealistic and overly dramatic. The problem with Kakegurui, ...

Updated version of my previous top review:

SnK season 2 has been a rough ride. As a fan of season 1, I really wanted this season to be good. On one hand, the latter half of the season was action packed and full of great development - just what I wanted. On the other, the first half of the season was extremely poorly written.

So I'll separate this review into two halves.

1st half (ep 1-6)

First of all, don't expect the world to be well built or realistic. After all, there are absolutely no men guarding the wall, as the entire ordeal within the first few episodes ...
