Darwin's Game (TV)
"Darwin's Game" was a thrilling watch, and I've rated it a solid 8/10. The anime presents a unique take on the survival game genre, blending action, strategy, and a hint of supernatural elements. What particularly stood out to me was the clever plot development and the intense, well-choreographed battle scenes. The characters were intriguing and well-developed, adding depth to the story. While there were areas where the anime could have delved deeper, overall, "Darwin's Game" provided an engaging and suspenseful experience that kept me hooked until the end. It's a strong recommendation for fans of action and psychological thrillers.
Very good
ERASED (TV)
is a phenomenal anime that truly captivated me, earning a well-deserved 10/10 rating. The time-travel aspect of the story was executed with such finesse, creating a gripping narrative that kept me on the edge of my seat. It wasn't just the time-travel element that stood out; the music in "ERASED" added an incredible depth to the emotional and suspenseful moments, enhancing the overall experience. The series skillfully blended mystery, psychological elements, and a heart-wrenching storyline, making it an unforgettable viewing experience.

Masterpiece
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (TV)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is undoubtedly a masterpiece in my eyes, meriting a perfect 10/10 rating. This anime excels in every aspect, from its deeply engaging story to its well-developed characters, intricate world-building, and compelling themes. The narrative, which weaves together elements of adventure, fantasy, and moral dilemmas, is both emotionally impactful and thought-provoking. The animation quality is top-notch, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the tone of the series. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a shining example of how to adapt a manga faithfully while elevating its source material to new heights. It's a must-watch for any anime fan, offering a complete and satisfying experience.
Masterpiece
Ghost Hound (TV)
Shinreigari (Ghost Hound) received a 5/10 rating from me. While the anime attempted to delve into intriguing psychological and supernatural themes, it somehow fell short in terms of execution and narrative cohesion. The pacing felt uneven, and at times, the plot seemed to lose its direction, which hindered the overall engagement with the story. Although it had some visually striking moments and the premise was initially promising, the series struggled to maintain a consistent and compelling momentum throughout. In summary, Shinreigari had potential but didn't quite manage to fully realize it, making it an average viewing experience in my book.
Not really good
Hellsing (TV) Good
Hellsing Ultimate (OAV) Good
(The) Helpful Fox Senko-san (TV)
This anime offers a soothing and heartwarming experience, centered around the charming and caring fox spirit, Senko-san, and her interactions with the main character, Kuroto Nakano. Its gentle storytelling and endearing characters make it a delightful watch, especially for those seeking a relaxing and uplifting anime. While watching Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san, I was simultaneously working on a guide about Kitsune in Japanese folklore. This series provided a delightful representation of the kitsune myth, blending the mystical elements of these fox spirits with the modern world in a light and enjoyable manner. The anime's portrayal of the kitsune's nurturing nature and its exploration of themes like comfort and healing from the stresses of everyday life were particularly well-done, adding to my appreciation of the show.
Good
I'm Standing on 1,000,000 Lives. (TV)
It strikes a good balance between action and storytelling, making it an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre. The series might not break new ground, but it's a well-executed and engaging adventure.
Good
March comes in like a lion (TV)
This anime is a beautifully crafted tale that masterfully blends the themes of personal struggle, growth, and the complexity of human emotions. Its thoughtful portrayal of the protagonist Rei's journey through life's challenges, both in professional shogi and his personal life, is deeply moving. The animation style is visually striking, and the series does an excellent job of conveying the characters' internal worlds. 3-gatsu no Lion stands out for its emotional depth, character development, and its sensitive handling of delicate subjects, making it a poignant and memorable watch.
Very good
March comes in like a lion (TV 2) Very good
(The) Misfit of Demon King Academy II (TV 2)
Turned out to be a decent watch, but it didn't quite live up to its full potential, earning a 6/10 from me. While the series had its moments with interesting plot points and some engaging character interactions, it overall felt like it could have offered more. The premise was promising, but the execution lacked the depth and development that could have elevated it. In the end, it settled into being an average anime experience. It had its enjoyable aspects, but it didn't stand out as particularly remarkable in the crowded field of fantasy anime.
So-so
My Girlfriend is Shobitch (TV)
This anime is a fairly standard romantic comedy with its own unique twists and humorous moments. While it didn't stand out as particularly exceptional in its genre, it provided enough entertainment to make the viewing experience worthwhile. The comedic timing and character interactions were amusing, and it had its share of laughable moments. Overall, while it wasn't a groundbreaking series, I didn't feel like my time was wasted. It was a decent, light-hearted show to watch, especially if you're looking for something uncomplicated and humorous.
Decent
Oshi no Ko (TV)
The series brilliantly intertwines the complexities of the idol industry with a gripping narrative that's both emotionally resonant and thought-provoking. Its characters are well-developed, and the storyline is engaging, offering a unique perspective on fame and personal struggles.
Excellent
Rainbow - Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin (TV)
This anime is a powerful and emotionally charged narrative that delves deep into themes of friendship, survival, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. The portrayal of the characters and their bond is exceptionally well-crafted, making their struggles and triumphs deeply resonant. The series does not shy away from presenting the harsh realities of post-war Japan, adding a layer of historical authenticity that enriches the story. The animation style complements the gritty and intense nature of the plot, and the voice acting adds an additional layer of depth to the characters. "Rainbow" is a profound and moving series, offering a poignant and unforgettable viewing experience.
Masterpiece
Shiki (TV) Excellent
Welcome to the NHK (TV)
NHK ni Youkoso!" (Welcome to the N.H.K.) earns a solid 8/10 from me. This anime is a poignant and sometimes darkly humorous exploration of the life of a hikikomori, a term used in Japan to describe individuals who withdraw from society, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. The series does a remarkable job of portraying the psychological aspects and challenges faced by its protagonist, Tatsuhiro Satou, who falls into the hikikomori lifestyle. It delves into themes of social anxiety, loneliness, and the struggle to find a place in society, making it a thought-provoking watch. The show balances its heavier themes with moments of levity and a quirky cast of characters, making it not just an insightful look into the hikikomori phenomenon but also an engaging story about personal growth and redemption.
Very good
