Today I Finished: "Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun" (S4) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Suzuki Iruma -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: The Music Festival arc was way shorter than expected. The filler episodes were enjoyable, but I wanted to see more main story parts. Glad the season was 24 episodes.

Yesterday I Finished: "Spy x Family" (S3) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Loid Forger -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Loid's origin story was unexpected, but enlightening. Seeing stories of other characters felt... off, but were nice. The Schoolbus scene was funny seeing how different everyone reacted.

Yesterday I Finished: "One-Punch Man" (S3) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: King -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Was expecting this season to be a conclusion for Garou, but this was good. It was awesome seeing Child Emperor in action. King's scenes were funny as expected. Hope he never gets discovered.

Today I Finished: "Shinobi no Ittoki" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Yumika Sakuraba -Recommend?: No -Comments: It started out nice, but it became clear they wanted to rush the story. Could have been more, especially after establishing the other villages. Wish it was fleshed out more. Overall: Okay.

Today I Finished: "Spriggan" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Yu Ominae -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Got hooked on the theme of "archiving or sealing dangerous artifacts". Great idea for a story I have in mind. Funny how Yu is just curious about the tech while everyone else want to take advantage of it.

Today I Finished: "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill S1-2" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Sui -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Interesting pacing. MC only spends a few episodes in a town, gets to know locals, then moves on to the next one. Just normal adventuring around the new world.

Today I Finished: "Diamond no Ace: Act II S2" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Eijun Sawamura -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Pacing of the first few episodes were very fast. Usually each game is fully shown or summarized. Rest of the episodes were the usual fleshed out, intense, & enjoyable moments.

Yesterday I Finished: "Steins;Gate"(S1-0, 23β, OVAs, & Movie) -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Rintaro Okabe -Recommend?: YES! -Comments: One of few animes to have extra content that is Dubbed.

Today I Finished: "The Water Magician" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Ryo Mihara -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Overall, great. The second half felt rushed as if to squeeze in as many plots for 1 season. I appreciate Ryo explaining how he envisions his magic and expands on it. Hoping for a season 2.

Today I Finished: "Mission: Yozakura Family" (S1-2) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Taiyo Asano -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Was unsure of this anime at first as the plot seemed to push away from Taiyo. Also, they need to call themselves Hitmen, not spies. The entire underworld knows their identities.

A Few Days ago I Finished: "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle I" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Zenitsu Agatsuma -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: 1st battle perfectly set the difficulty of the situation. 2nd battle was unexpected with the finishing blow. Glad Tanjiro wasn't insta OP in the 3rd fight.

Today I Finished: "My Hero Academia" (S8) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Katsuki Bakugo -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Honestly, a satisfying ending. I was prepared to hate it alongside the manga negativity (Deku's decision) when that ended. The few episodes of the aftermath and restoration were nice.

Today I Finished: "Classroom of the Elite" (S4) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Ichika Amasawa -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: The intention of the new "White Room" student was unexpected, but interesting.

Today I Finished: "Jujutsu Kaisen" (S3) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Yuta Okkotsu -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Enjoyed this season MUCH more than the last one. Hate how the tease at the end of last season felt extremely pointless. Fight scenes were awesome. Yuta is crazy strong. Waiting for part 2.

Today I Finished: "Fire Force" (S3 Part 2) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Shinra Kusakabe -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: So many flashbacks it might as well have been a prequel season. Speaking of, WOW that ending. Not bad or good, but definitely funny. Had mixed feelings about the final confrontation.

Today I Finished: "The Prince of Tennis" (178 Eps) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Shūsuke Fuji -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: At first the show was "Ehh". Started multitasking while watching it. I think my interest really started when Ryoma actually struggled against Tezuka. Overall, it was good.

Yesterday I Finished: "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord" (S1) -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Maul -Recommend?: YES! -Comments: I wondered why they chose not to wait till 5/4 to release the show, and Ep 10 proved it was planned that way. Inquisitor fights were perfect. Daki & Devon were both amazing.

A Few Days Ago I Finished: "Invincible" (Season 4) -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Nolan -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Was wondering how the season was going to end as it built up.

Today I Finished: "Samurai Champloo" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Mugen -Recommend?: No -Comments: Major disappointment. Having nearly every episode be its own story, unrelated to the main plot, made me almost stop watching. It works for Pokémon, not here. Was hoping for serious vibes than comedic.

Today I Finished: "Ninjago Dragons Rising (S1-3)" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Arin (but Jay overall) -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Finally caught up! Went in having seen spoilers. Glad 1/3 of them were theories I misunderstood as spoilers. Still thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to Season 4.

Today I Finished: "Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Sebastian Michaelis -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Disappointed with the "truth" of the main plot. Given we have several supernatural variables, I was expecting more. I liked the new lore about the Reapers near the end.

Today I Finished:"The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Seika Lamprogue -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Instantly hooked on MC wanting to hide how powerful he truly is. I had the same idea for an OC. Its true, people become wary of anyone with power.

Today I Finished: "Handyman Saitou in Another World" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Kisurugi -Recommend?: No -Comments: Using pacing similar to Konosuba felt off for this show. It was interesting seeing a handyman as a "thief" class. Nothing ultimately really stuck to me. Overall, an Ehh show.

Today I Finished: "Record of Ragnarok (Season 3)" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Hades -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Same pros and cons as before. While the fights are awesome, I wish they would not be interrupted with flashbacks. The outcomes felt unpredictable for me as the fights went on.

Today I Finished: "Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Akihiko Asai -Recommend?: Ehh -Comments: Heavily annoyed with forced "fanservice" in S1. Loved how Akihiko gets to enjoy chaos unfold in front of him without getting involved. Also annoyed seeing the "mascot" cat's face.

Today I Finished: "Romantic Killer" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Riri -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Found the overall theme of anti-heroine funny. Riri's hyper personality made her scenes enjoyable. I like that Riri was learning from Anzu. Glad Hijiri showed development, was worried I would hate him.

Today I Finished: "Tsukigakirei" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Kotarou Azumi -Recommend?: Ehh... -Comments: I'm a fan of shy MCs who gain confidence throughout the story. Overall, an okay story. I got a laugh at the "bonus scenes" at the end of each episode & from the special.

Today I Finished: "Shirobako" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Shizuka Sakaki -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Interesting seeing a representation of the process/struggles an amine company faces. Especially the "dubbing" Good balance of characters I like & despise. Having to outsource is always a gamble.

Today I Finished: "Magic Kaito 1412" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Kaito Kuroba -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Enjoyed the various magic tricks shown, both the ones explained and the small tricks left as a mystery. Glad we got to see Shinichi from Detective Conan make a few appearances.

Today I Finished: "Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Mash -Recommend?: Ehh... -Comments: Few funny moments. Laughed when Seiya says he's hurt from losing 1% of his HP. Not as good of a story as I hoped. Didn't like Rista. Overall, Okay.

Today I Finished: "The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Atla Fayon -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Malty needs to die! The Curse Series being based on the Deadly Sins was interesting. Glad Naofumi's village is growing, just wish it would stop being attacked.

Today I Finished: "My Hero Academia: Season 7" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Neito Monoma -Recommend?: Ehh... -Comments: This was the "all out war" feeling I wanted last season. Although I think Toga's ability is cool, I did not like her development this season. Monoma really shined this season.

Today I Finished: "Horimiya" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Izumi Miyamura -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Miyamura could be an actor with how he can pull off different personalities despite the lack of confidence. Hori's kink was certainly a surprise. Great mix of characters, glad they delved into them.

Yesterday I Finished: "Tomodachi Game" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Yuuichi Katagiri -Recommend?: YES! -Comments: Was annoyed how quickly the culprit of who involved the others in the game was revealed. Seeing one mystery lead to another made up for it. Enjoyed seeing how they progressed each game.

Today I Finished: "If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord" -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Dale Reki -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Love Dale's constant reactions to everything involving Latina.

Today I Finished: "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest" -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Natsu Dragneel -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: So happy to have another season of Fairy Tail. Was worried it was going to be insanely rushed seeing only 25 episodes to cover the main plot. Looking forward to the 2nd half.

Today I Finished: "Tower of God" (Season 2) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Twenty-Fifth Bam -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Glad the story did continue through anime. I really wasn't expecting Bam's friends to find him at all this season. Seeing his growth in the time away from his friends was nice.

Today I Finished: "Fire Force"(Season 3) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Joker -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Fires off with a sudden plot twist, Intense fight scenes, Solving/Revealing mysteries behind the main threat.

Last Week I finished: "RE:Zero" (Season 3) -Version: JAP -Fav Character: Natsuki Subaru -Recommend?: YES! -Comments: This anime knows how to use every second to show plot, which means sometimes we get no intro or outro. Poor Subaru continues to suffer, he deserves a break. The many cliffhangers...

Today I finished: "Blue Exorcist" (Season 3-5) -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Renzo Shima -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: These seasons do a good job of showing just how dangerous it is to be an exorcist. The main plot reveal was very much needed. I really did not like the "plot twist" with Shima.

Today I finished: "Afro Samurai" (5 Ep + Resurrection) -Version: ENG -Fav Character: Ninja Ninja -Recommend?: Yes -Comments: Was recommended this from a friend. Didn't know Samuel L. Jackson was involved. He made it very enjoyable. I haven't seen many pure swordsmanship anime.
