This is an underrated anime.
Screenplay - 8/10
The story continues from Season 1 and touches so many dark crevices of the society - Racism, Deforestation, Utter lack of respect for nature, Greed, Fear, Monster within you, self doubt and are depicted in a way that do justice to those arcs. There is humor added to prevent the dark tone from taking over.
Characters - 8/10
The characters have grown from season 1 and new ones added with real emotions, fears and a gray personality (no complete black and white).
The reason for the characters behaving the way they do and their growth is shown wonderfully.
Animation and fights - 8/10

Radiant (Anime) add
This is an underrated anime.
Screenplay - 9/10
The story is simple on surface yet it touches so many deep dark crevices of the society - Racism, Hate speeches, Riots, Fear, PTSD, self doubt and are depicted in a way that do justice to those arcs. There is humor added to prevent the dark tone from taking over.
Characters - 9/10
The characters have some generic anime traits yet they are unique in their own way with each one depicting real emotions, fears.
The reason for the main characters behaving the way they do and their growth is shown wonderfully.

Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Wrong genres mentioned in the description of this show. Correct genre - Slice of Life/Drama
Never seen an anime making money on Sunk Cost Fallacy as this:
Season 2 part 1 was average because the plot was building up to some conclusions.
But Season 2 part 2 has hit a new low.
With each episode it gets more static and boring.

This is pretty much a mediocre family drama show with barely any fantasy left.
This second season so far has seen barely any plot or even time progress.

Action - 1/10

Mixed Feelings
This is a perfect example of how a great concept could be foiled by mediocre character writing.
It has a bratty entitled MC who has some growth. But how he became so entitled is never explained.
The concept is of a hyper realistic full dive VR game.
They take the realistic part literally.
The other characters are all good.
But writer forgot that usually people stick for the MC or some important recurring character.
The MC is irritable to put it mildly.
The story and world building is great.
But the MC reduces it from a great anime to a hard watch.

Preliminary review - 7 eps
This is an average no brainer isekai with a super Overpowered protagonist.
He adventures, has fun and most importantly studies magic.
You might be wondering then why give such high scores.
Answer -
The pace of this anime is amazing. They have 2 minutes kept entirely for chibi/fun.
The rest of it is high paced intense story progression.
There is humor, action, magic and for some reason unknown to mankind (harem element).

And the MC actually uses his past knowledge to be better even as a kid.

Undead Unluck (Anime) add
Undead Unluck is a great action comedy shounen.
It has a great storyline with more arcs to follow.
The screenplay is superb with each character being given enough depth as needed by that chraracter.
The characters grow with time and do not stay stagnant.
The action sequences are amazing.
The humor is little bit of gag and timing based comedy.
The overall plotline is wonderful and truly enjoyable.
This show is for adult audience not for kids.
(NSFW at times and characters/plots are too mature for kids to understand)
Definitely watch this show if you are into action comedy fantasy genre.

Do watch recap of previous seasons/movies before starting this or you'll have no clue.
If you watch it out of blue, you will be left wondering why some character behaves the way they do.
The characters seemed more real than previous seasons with actual human behavior like PTSD, fear, anxiety not some fake emotions written by an AI.
The fight sequences were great.
There was character growth in most characters and if you have seen complete recap of previous seasons and movies, you will likely relate and understand their character motivations.
The animation was good, screenplay is good.
The story ends at an interesting point.
Overall a good continuation of previous story.

Ragna Crimson (Anime) add
Promised an Action, Fantasy Shounen about Dragon hunters.
It delivers exactly that. If you are not looking for what it mentioned, do not start it.
If you like this genre, you will enjoy it.

The story is well written and has more parts to come.
The action sequences are enjoyable and visually great.
The characters that matter are built well.
No unnecessary fillers and story keeps on progressing.
The direction keeps the anime enjoyable and binge worthy.
The characters and situations keep you intrigued and hooked to the show.

Dungeon Meshi (Anime) add
Preliminary (14/24 eps)
The show promised to be a Comedy, Fantasy, Gourmet.
In the first 11 episodes, it was an average gourmet show at best.
Then they decided to turn it into a dark edgy thriller with no heads or tails.
Given the pace, they will not explain what happened in first season.
I judge a show by the order of Genres.
So, in this show, if I see any episode without comedy or gourmet, it is a trash episode.
And it has ultimately turned into one.
It could have been a happy go lucky gourmet comedy fantasy.
But trying too much turned it into a poorly planned, written and executed anime.
Screenplay - 3/10

This is an epic anime.
One with the league of One Punch Man season 1 and Mob Psycho.
It has high intensity action, great humor and superb story.
The characters are developed as needed to the right extent without making it an eyesore.
The pace is what I loved most about the series.

Each episode is worth watching multiple times just like OPM S1.
No minute of audience time is taken for granted.

Even if a rare episode is relaxing, enough story progress takes place to not make it a filler or even a slow episode.
