Hey guys, it may be a little early for this but I decided to do it anyway - mostly because I've finished all of the series in which I initially set out to watch at the start of the season, but also because I wanted to write down all my thoughts on them before they fade from my memory. Please keep in mind, I'm not trying to discourage you guys from watching any of the series that I rated badly. My intentions of writing this post is to merely provide an insight on what to expect from a certain series and hopefully promote a few that I enjoyed/ think is worth checking out. Its also worth noting that my comments from here on out are (obviously) purely subjective and all stems from my own personal tastes. I will also assume that you guys have read the synopsis/ know of the anime that I will be talking about. So I will be diving right into my thoughts. (Though I have left links above each "mini overview" if you guys wanna find out what the series is about. Here are the series (not all) in which I followed this season - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Masamune kun no Revenge Episodes watched - (12/12) My score - 4/10 (Bad) https://myanimelist.net/anime/33487/Masamune-kun_no_Revenge Fabricated. Cliched. Anticlimactic. To be honest, I was really hyped for this series when it started airing. As soon as I finished episode 1, I couldn't wait for episode 2, and then 3...4... Then I just wanted the series to end as quickly as possible. I was excited for this series mainly because of its plot. I saw potential in it - and the first few episodes delivered. However towards the middle, this series morphed into a cliched and dragged out romantic comedy that has been done countless times before. This series does include some drama that works ---- until they inevitably brush it off with 'humor' like its nothing. Needless to say, I am disappointed. But if you're looking to kill time with a brainless harem anime, sprinkled with (almost) every waifu trope out there - this may be the show for you. Fuuka Episodes watched - (8/12) -Dropped- My score - 3.5/10 (Bad) https://myanimelist.net/anime/33743/Fuuka Fuuka faces the same problems with Masamune kun no Revenge as the plot takes a long time to build - up all while seeming as if it is going for the first prize in an originality contest, Although the story does have its climaxes, it was just too unrelateable which mad me genuinely not care. On top of that, the show doesn't spend much time building up its characters which makes the show even more tedious to watch during its later half. I dropped this series 8 episodes in not because its worse than Masamune kun no Revenge. I was frankly too tired to sit through another 4 episodes of teen melodrama which (most likely) wouldn't lead to anywhere worth my time right after completing MknR. Yet another cliched anime that I'm kicking myself for picking up at the start of the season (which was mostly due to curiosity). At least the show is pleasant to look at. lol. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufufu wo! 2 Episodes watched - (10/10) My score - 8/10 (Very Good) https://myanimelist.net/anime/32937/Kono_Subarashii_Sekai_ni_Shukufuku_wo_2 Comedy, and the sense of humor in general is really subjective. With that said, I found the humor better in this season of KonoSuba compared to its first. Mainly because of them handling Darkness and her 'characteristics' in a way that I appreciated more. Additionally, the story is more interesting than S1's as they travel more and do more things in general. KonoSuba is a great series (both S1 and S2) and I would be here all day I were to start singing its praises. So I'll just make a condensed list of awesome things about the S2 and move on: 1) Detailed and fitting graphics to perfectly fit the series' tone. 2) Lively voice acting 3) Epic climax I highly recommend it. Kuzu no Honkai Episodes watched - (12/12) My score - 8.25/10 (Very Good) https://myanimelist.net/anime/32949/Kuzu_no_Honkai Ahhh. I have just so much to say about this series... But then the amount of text here would make it unproportional to the other series' text... So I'm probably going to have to save it for a full-fledged review on a later date. Let me start off by saying that the dark, melancholic and borderline depressing tone to the series was what really hooked me. After watching the first episode, I was ready to call it my favorite anime of all time, topping Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (at the time) if the series continued on that way. However as the series progressed it took on a lighter tone and started to lack in some departments, which was mainly the side-characters. Despite that, I am happy to report that -although it didn't live up to my initial expectations- this is still a very meaningful and though -provoking series which also doubles as great entertainment with a (surprisingly) uplifting and optimistic core message. Another notable thing is the way Kuzu no Honkai tells its story. It is very poetic. Not just in the sense that the dialogue/ thoughts are crafted specifically to invoke thought; the series also uses an abundance of effective and purposeful imagery to carry subtle yet significant messages across. This series really speaks to me on an emotional and philosophical level and would definitely recommend it if you're into that kind of stuff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry if my writing was sloppy, I just had a tiring week and wanted to get all of this down as quickly as possible so please forgive me for some incoherent sentences that might have taken shape. Also, I know that I didn't cover other popular shows such as Kobaysahi and Youjo Senki. The reason for that is that I'm still in the midst of watching those 2 and won't be finishing anytime in the next few days (but they are looking quite good from where I'm at now). Also, please do let me know if you guys are interested in anymore of these kinds of posts/ pieces. Especially if you are in a Kuzu no Honkai review. I am even planning on analyzing and explaining every single piece of imagery used in that show lmao, as there are just so many. Nonetheless, enough rambling. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed/ found this post helpful. Oh! and also feel free to discuss your opinions on any shows I've mentioned, or give your own overview on shows that I didn't in the comments. Definitely looking forward to it

No, I WIN #killing2winnerswith1stone

Personally really enjoyed White Album 2 and highly recommenced it for the feels at the end. It has nothing to do with the first White Album (except they use some of the same songs). That's all that I'll say, don't want to spoil anything for you

Mio isn't just my favorite K-On! character - she is also one of my favorites of all time. Aside from her beautiful long hair, there's just something about her personality that makes her just so appealing to me. It is probably the fact that is is smart, hardworking and basically the straight-man of of series but is still cute and lovable like the rest of the girls. The scenes in which she acts all scared and balls up are just so adorable I could go on and on - but in general - it is always a pleasure to watch Mio every time she is on screen.

The price is so high! But I want to buy it badly. I know that there will be more characters in the future, I hope a tomboyish one~ I'd love that. Wonder how to get one to work while your away from home... Also, the texting feature it has I wanna try out so much. How many responses can she come up with? I hope to see more videos of it in the future.

I have thought about if I really wanted to live in Japan. I've already visited and I quite enjoyed it. I'm not too good with Tokyo life because it has just too much city for me. I enjoy being in Hiroshima the most. It was much more calm for me. But I'm not still sure if I would want to live in Japan or just have a very long stay.

My favorite Vocaloid.. so hard.. I do love VFlower and Lily a lot, but when it comes to a voice I like with pretty much all songs and their own original songs, then it's for sure Iroha Nekomura. She is my all time favorite overall and I also love Sanrio so it's a big win-win!

I prefer dub anime, I think I'm a rare breed... I prefer dubbed anime because sometimes the sub ruins the feel for me. I guess a good example would be when a character has "perfect English" but all you hear is a strong Japanese accent. But also the anime I like are usually taking place in countries that aren't Japan and usually speak English or have a certain accent that the Dub can usually accomplish. I learned Japanese but not for Anime , that's too much dedication lol.
