Ishura Episode 1

Amazing pilot for one of the more intriguing battle light novels. From visuals to presentation it may feel overbearing but that's the essence of work. If you're into over the top characters fighting it out in ridiculous scenarios, that's it and more!





The magic system of world was briefly touched upon in a quite fast and easy way. It is enough for readers and viewers to understand without being too complicated. The pacing of episode spends little time before getting to the absolute madness that this story often is.

Following the mainly overseas reception of Mushoku Tensei's latest episode some have gone out of their way to ridicule author to the point that certain sites have mischaracterized tweets and took away all nuance and context. All of which resulted in author being forced to clarify Every week author does what is called live tweeting which basically implies posting thoughts on episode as it airs in real time. Giving some sort of insight to world and characters. There was nothing unusual about it at the time and noone had any objections.

Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Opening Video Breakdown

Boarded and directed by Shinpei Wada that is filled with symbolism and metaphors. The impact that Rudeus made on others and the path that people enable him to tread on. Freedom birds are a central motive and piece.





We open with a simple scene of a curtain with a light at the end of it. It can be seen as figuratively and literally in a way that it shines upon Rudeus world and in order to reach it he has to take a step. This curtain motif was present previously in attempts that hurted him.

Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Episode 3

Regrets. Mistakes. Failures. Even after getting up we stumble across obstacles that life puts on our way. It is not easy to overcome but gradually we tend to learn. We grow. We change. We fight. In an never ending battle called life It is clear by now that Sara was a walking Eris reminder that constantly kept bugging Rudeus with her presence and his lack of ability to read the room. Over the course of this episode we see multiple doubts that he himself feels but also some that are suggested to him by others.

#無職転生

Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Episode 0

Introduction of a story taken from extra chapter necessary for future development. The worrying signs are partially true as even with change of staff, the show retains segmented aspects that made people love Mushoku so much. I personally believe that this could have been used as an OVA instead of a season opener due to its contents that slighlty require remembering what happened in season 1 to avoid confusion. Most episode was spent on Asura's politics and showing us what Sylphie was going through.

#地獄楽

Hell's Paradise is a peculiar production. Argueably Mappa's biggest underwhelming show from recent memory. There is no reason to deny enjoyment from people but simply ignoring criticism wouldn't lead to any conensus. Let's try having an open mind and discuss the topic. Question: Has Mappa sacrificed Jigoku for Jujutsu?

Answer: Mappa has "sacrificed" Shingeki for Jigoku. The reason being that they share the same Animation Producer, Wataru Kawagoe, therefore if there was any prod which had any possible affect it would be this.

#推しの子

Oshi no Ko Episode 8

The curse cannot be lifted as long as the father exists. Unable to live a normal life Aqua is chained to this goal. Even when faced with light that could potentially save him. Using the same machinations of industry to carve his path to revenge. One of the core themes of this episode is the distinction between various entities which are A, and Aqua (Akane kind off) with each of them having a lying persona. It begs a question where is the truth and how one is supposed to grasp it. That frustrated Aqua tremendously.

Oshi no Ko is shaping up to having a blasting premiere. The new trailer just hypes up even more while obviously omitting the core of show. The idol portions are no doubt going to be amazing. That short scene of Aqua and Ruby cheering was so adorable. I can't wait for it. Throughout the trailers and in other promotial material there is a distinctive emphasis put on the eyes which is both narratively and aesthetically important. I adore this so much, it shines like a star would which is a crucial aspect of the work.

#ブルーロック

Blue Lock Episode 19

Blue Lock never manages to fail at delivering suspense and emotional beats be it through directing, seiyuu performance or music. This was abudantly clear during Bachira's backstory and I felt captivated by how it was told to the viewers. Named after Bachira the episode first wrapped up the recent cliffhanger with use of clever emotional music and tense faces that both showed the egoism of victors and the anguish of fallen. The scenes felt reminiscent of what the titular Bachira had experienced in the past.

#陰の実力者

The Eminence in Shadow is a next wonderful light novel adaptation which is an unusual feat. From director's love towards source material, anime original scenes expanding on events, to telling the same story through different medium in splendid way.

Question: How? Back in February 2020 author received information about anime decision and met with production members including Kazuya Nakanishi. This was not only Nakanishi's directional debut but he loved source material claiming so much he wanted to work on it after reading 5 chapters of WN.

Onimai Episode 5

Experiencing outside world can be a fascinating but scary thing but once the first step is taken the rest would come swiftly. Once again a very fun and cheerful episode that may possibly had the cutest drawings yet in my subjective view. Such an enjoyble show. It is adorable seeing the blob on Mihari's expression as she bursts into tears that Mahiro can finally properly do the daily activities she struggled before. It is a core element of show to socialize Mahiro from a shut-in she used to be to someone that can hang around friends.

Over the last few days Chainsaw Man and director Ryu Nakayama have been under criticism after BD numbers released with many using it as an easy way for mockery. While there are valid points that are being brought up most of the discourse revolves around misunderstood comparisons. This thread will be seperated into segments with each one trying to illustrate a picture of a situation that came to be and understand why there is such conversation in the first place. There will be 3 key points:

1. Anticipation
2. Creative Decision
3. BD

#スパイ教室

Spy Classroom Episode 5

It appears that providing bonding moments and training attempts makes for a much amusing experience than speed running through books. Most of it consisting of anime original content that honestly gives personality and space to our cast. Fundamental elements that tie this episode together are concepts of family which Klaus is trying to compehend after loss of Inferno and Lamplight becoming better as a team while trying to make him surrender. It is something that audience should have at least seen before mission.

#陰の実力者

The Eminence in Shadow Episode 18

When show is not afraid to simply mock known tropes and play around typical concepts it brings some of the most hilarious results. From NPC conversations, to Eminence roleplay and overthinking Cid does not disappoint. It has been a while since last time we saw Claire and who would have thought that once she returned Cid's life would be in danger. Perhaps its not that great to have a sister so obsessed on you but on the other hand she would protect him, right?

#転天アニメ

The Magical Revolution of Reincarnated Princess and Genius Young Lady Episode 5

Climax delivered in almost flawless way boarded and directed by Shingo Tamaki with fascinating soundtrack, great voice performances and animations which carved a mark on the show. The episode showed just how far Anis is willing to go to aquire magic and this naturally contradicts Euphie's views and this whole time we were witnessing that even if she is so cheerful and confident Anis is willing to go through dangerous means to fulfil her inner desire.

Lycoris Recoil twitter account has surpassed Madoka which is the biggest anime original property. Its unprecedented for anime original series to blew up this much. There is argument to be made that Twitter wasn't as popular in 2010 as it is now but still amazing achievement. Streaming wise its doing great, popularity is booming, spin-off novels are being sold out, Kojima is promoting and the BD hasn't even dropped yet and its expected to bring huge numbers. I don't think anyone could have predicted just how massive this would get.

#リコリコ

Lycoris Recoil Episode 11
Some developments were easy to predict but they still looked cool as here with character confronting one another and scenes that simply looked badass. Majima's seiyuu has made a wonderful performance today. We're approaching the end. It would have been anticlimatic to say fareweel to characters without them achieving any specific goal so Kurumi using her legendary skills to find out that there is another heart was most likely her role and also I feel that everyone expected there to be heart anyway.

Now I am definitely sensing the speedrun to finish line. I have a feeling that many stuff is just left unexplained because it was either established prior or never properly stated but with that said it appears final battle has begun. Only few weeks till Summer Time Rendering ends I was confident its gonna be the last loop but somehow it wasn't with Shinpei killing himself but taking Ushio with him to have better chances at taking down Haine. Clever idea and it uses concepts established prior in series. That image is quite funny but also cute.

In a society where wealth and degeneration is a symbol of status.
Where those in power are selfish beings who only satisfy their needs.
Where death is a daily routine and you may easly lose your life.
There is no place to put our modern days morals.
In this cruel world. They lust in their desires and use the power which they haven't obtained through their efforts but rather by schemes, deception, betrayals, corruption.
They care not about the well being of the commoners and are instead focused on doubling their influence, no matter the cost.

Classroom of the Elite Volume 3
Beginning of the part where people got invested into the franchise.
Many things were changed or simplified in the anime but I enjoyed Ichinose scenes the most I think. There is something charming about t.
The known Ayanokoji quote? Similliar. I can't fathom enough how butchered the anime is compare to LN. We know how many things were reordered but it really is very cruel. I think introducing way too many characters was a big mistake from anime also Ichinose took a big hit.
