Slayers Next - 7/10 The plot is tighter in this second season with many of the secondary characters having worthwhile character arcs plus my favorite antagonist of any of the seasons I've seen so far is in this one. Also, that OP slaps so hard. Slayers Try - 7/10 There isn't any filler in...

Dr. Stone New World Part 2 - 9/10 I really loved the mind games of this season and learning more about the secrets of petrification. There were some very emotional fake-out deaths and goodbyes too. Paprika - 9/10 Satoshi Kon continues to blend fiction and reality and builds off his prior work...

Yes, I enjoyed Yashahime even if it's not quite on the level of Inuyasha. Moroha is my favorite of the three girls. My main complaint is that Kirinmaru is a significantly worse villain than Naraku.

The Great Pretender - 9/10 I absolutely loved the crazy schemes the conmen concoct in this anime, and there are some insane twists. Also, you can finally say that Freddie Mercury sings in an anime. Great Pretender Razbliuto - 8/10 A solid continuation of the anime with Dorothy being a...

Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies - 5/10 A cute but forgettable animation for everyone's favorite baby Yoda. Summertime Rendering - 8/10 The best time travel I've seen in anime since Steins;Gate with the vicious time travel loops of Re Zero. The ending fight is a little lackluster, but the...

Attack on Titan The Final Chapters Special 2 - 9/10 A great ending to one of the behemoths of anime with a satisfying final fight even if the final resolution leaves me a bit mixed. From Up On Poppy Hill - 8/10 I really enjoy the theme of preservation of culture that runs throughout this...

Terror in Resonance - 7/10 I liked the idea of kids being raised as part of experiments, and them getting revenge through terrorist acts, and things getting truly twisted at the end, but the characters were pretty forgettable aside from Shibazaki. Undead Girl Murder Farce - 9/10 This is an...

Dr. Stone New World - 8/10 It's nice to have finally gotten some information on the origins of the petrification beam, plus I think Kohaku looks cute in a dress, even if I have concerns on the new villains being able to follow up on the quality of Tsukasa. FLCL Gurenge - 5/10 Another...

In/Spectre Season 2 - 8/10 The cases were a lot more emotional and better paced in this season. Also, the ending is an amazing song. Neon Genesis Evangelion Death & Rebirth - 8/10 A solid recap of the show with all of the major moments showcased. The End of Evangelion - 9/10 My favorite...

Hell's Paradise - 8/10 I love the intrigue of the island in Hell's Paradise as more layers are gradually peeled away. The opening song might be my favorite of any anime this year. It's too bad the animation doesn't live up to the insane quality Mappa have set for themselves in JJK and CSM...

One Piece: Adventure of Nebulandia - 8/10 It's great seeing Foxy team up with Luffy and crew. There are some really good fights here with Luffy taking on that vice admiral being a highlight. 86 (Part Two) - 9/10 The tensions feel a little lower in this second half at times, but the last two...

Beast Tamer - 7/10 This was a pretty good adventure/harem anime. The OP and ED are very catchy. Plus, the character chemistry is on point. One Piece: Episode of Luffy - 7/10 A bland and boring villain brings this special down. Plus, too many flashbacks lifted directly from the show...

Buddy Daddies - 9/10 I thought this was a simple Spy x Family clone at first, but I was really impressed with the degree of fleshed out character relations between Miri, Rei, and Kazuki. The OP and ED are great. My only complaint is the last few episodes feel a little rushed. Steamboy - 7/10...

Attack on Titan The Final Season The Final Chapters Part 1 - 9/10 A great sendoff to a key character, and I love the personal moments as normal civilians experience the Rumbling early on. The last third dragged a little, but it got me excited for the final battle overall. Demon Slayer: To the...

Bastard: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy (Season 1) - 7/10 I had fun with this series for what it was. Dark Schneider is the ultimate mage and womanizer. The opening theme is one of my favorites of any anime, and the battles are solid if a bit stiff. My main complaint is the sexual content is a...

That Time I Got Reincarned As a Slime: The Scarlet Bond - 6/10 Some solid animation and great new characters are let down by boring as dirt villains. It feels more like an extended episode at times than a movie, and there are definitely some asspulls at the end. Bocchi the Rock - 9/10 This...

Yeah, I largely agree with your thoughts, and that's why I prefer the Phantom Troupe arc over the Chimera Ant arc. Though I'd still say Greed Island is my least favorite. Anyhow, back to the Chimera Ant arc, its best moments are definitely at the start and end. But, man, that middle...

Finished up a lot this month between Fall 2022 anime and some others that I had been slowly watching throughout the year. Mob Psycho 100 Season 3 - 9/10 This was a great epilogue for the series. It wrapped up all loose ends and provided a great note to leave on for Mob and his relationship...

The new season of Bleach is so good. It's making me eagerly await Mondays for once. It is such a love letter to fans.

Made in Abyss Movie 3: Dawn of the Deep Soul - 10/10 I checked this canon movie out before watching the second season. Bondrewd is one of the best villains in anime history. A truly sickly and terrifying being. The final fight has the best animation I've seen in the series so far, and there...

Lupin III Part 6 - 7/10 This part was a bit of a disappointment coming off of part 5. I prefer the first half in London with the Sherlock Holmes focus. The second half about Lupin's past is needlessly convoluted. Still, it's great to see the cast as usual, and some of the one off episodes...

One Piece 3D2Y - 8 /10 I enjoyed this special quite a bit. It was nice to see more Buggy and Boa Hancock, and Luffy fighting together with Hancock felt fresh. Haki's introduction to Luffy's arsenal was well done. The villains are a little generic, but I found the final fight to have more...

Great show but the second half felt rushed. Also, I agree that the focus on the side characters, especially in the later episodes, took away from seeing Hori and Miyamura together. I wanted to see more of main relationship. Plus, the bromance between Miyamura and Hori's dad was amazing, hehe.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero - 9/10 This movie surprised me with how much heart it had. I absolutely loved seeing Gohan, Piccolo, and Pan take the spotlight. The new characters from the Red Ribbon Army were pretty great too. And that final fight blew me away. Spriggan (2022) - 7/10 The...

Dr. Stone: Ryuusui - 8/10 Another entertaining and educational outing from Dr. Stone. Ryuusui sure knows how to get rich fast and how to get the gang safely across long distances. I also loved Yuzuriha channeling her inner JoJo to sew clothes and the little fashion show in the middle of the...

One Piece Film: Strong World - 9/10 I really loved this movie. The animation is fantastic and the island of giant animals is quite a sight. It's also great to see manga canon material presented early. My one complaint is the Nami gets kidnapped plot point has been done before. One Piece...

One Piece Movie 9: Episode of Chopper Plus - 8/10 I liked this retelling of Drum Island. I thought it was actually better paced than the anime and Mushroo with Wapol were more interesting as villains than Wapol alone. Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc - 10/10 Finally got around to...

Made in Abyss - 10/10 One of the most emotional and beautiful anime I have ever seen. Those last few episodes traumatized me. I now need to watch the canon third movie next. One Piece Movie 7: The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle - 6/10 Luffy finding out massive secrets by being...

Hellsing - 6/10 This show starts off strong with some very cool vampire enemies, but then becomes mostly boring filler that's a slog to get through. The final fight is so anti-climactic. Megane na Kanojo - 6/10 A four episode OVA about people who wear glasses. The episode about the pop idol...

One Piece Movie 4: Dead End - 8/10 I like the Amazing Race vibes of this movie, plus the character backstories are pretty cool, and the animation is stellar. One Piece Movie 5: The Curse of the Sacred Sword - 8/10 The Zoro focus of this movie is appreciated. Again, great animation, but I...

Yashahime Princess Half-Demon (Season 1) - 7/10 I really enjoyed the main trio in this one, though the action and main villain are nowhere near as good as in Inuyasha. Still, a fun time overall. One Piece: Defeat the Pirate Ganzack! - 8/10 The only bit of One Piece anime not done by Toei...

Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale - 6/10 I did not care much for this movie. It had some good animation but a crappy plot. On a side note, it is also quite sad the voice actress for the idol passed away recently. Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night - 8/10 This movie...

Not much recently. Been busy. Blade of the Immortal - 7/10 It took me over a year to finish this one because of how bloody and sexual it is. There is someone being decapitated or raped every episode. But the story and characters are pretty solid. Death Note - 9/10 I'm probably one of the...

Inuyasha Movie 3: Swords of an Honorable Ruler - 7/10 Nothing too special about this one besides Inuyasha and Sesshomaru working together and seeing their father. It's a solid movie but probably the weakest of the four Inuyasha movies. Inuyasha Movie 4: Fire on the Mystic Island - 8/10 This...

Great Teacher Onizuka - 9/10 Loved the dynamic of this anime with a former gangster teaching important life lessons to kids even if his academic knowledge is rock bottom. Lots of laughs and tears to be had. My Hero Academia Season 5 - 7/10 Sadly, this was the worst season of MHA. Parts of...

Gunsmith Cats - 7/10 A solid three episode OVA with some crime busting in good old Chicago. The Slime Diaries - 7/10 A pretty good spin-off series where all the characters get some slice of life chill with lots of festivals. A great anime to relax to. Golden Boy - 8/10 A hilarious 6...

Back for my monthly update. Dr. Stone: Stone Wars - 8/10 Finally got around to finishing this one up. I thought the middle of the season was awkwardly paced, but the last two episodes were beautiful. I do wish the scientific inventions were fleshed out a bit more as well. They were glossed...

Think I'll post here only once a month or so to avoid clogging up the place. Most recent ones I've completed: Steins;Gate - 8/10 The first 10 or so episodes of the show were too slow paced for me. Yes, there was pay-off in the second half, but this start didn't hold my interest. The second...
