Pretty Good Anime
2 May 2022
In actuality, I would like to give this anime a 7.5, but there's no option to do so, so I sticked with 7. This anime has really beautiful art and the characters are, for the most part, really likeable! I'd say it's pretty chill, not something that I watched in one sitting, but that I enjoyed watching one episode a day type of vibe. The story in itself had a pretty decent plot, nothing extraordinary, but I found the premise and relationship between the two main characters very interesting. You don't need to know anything about fashion to watch this anime, and I honestly think it's quite good with incredible clothing and character design! Worth the watch!

Beautiful Anime
23 April 2022
This anime was beautiful to watch! I had never heard the koto before this and can now say that it's an incredibly beautiful instrument. This anime gave me some more insight into Japanese culture, and I feel like all of the characters were really likeable too. During the anime we get to know a little bit about each character instead of just focusing on the main character all the time and that's something that was really well done here. The only critiques I have is that the plot gets a little bit repetitive, but it's not that big of an issue to be honest. Also, I got really invested in the romance that was in the anime, very cute and adorable scenes! A must-watch!

Devilman: Crybaby (2018– )

What a Rollercoaster
11 December 2020
Let me tell you, I was not expecting it to get that crazy. I initially found this anime through a social media platform, and honestly started watching it without knowing absolutely anything. The first episode was quite unexpected and I wasn't sure why some things happened and was slightly confused. Then I dropped it for a bit because it wasn't exactly going as fast as I wanted it to and the plot wasn't that intriguing. However, after a couple of episodes everything got so much more intense and I felt every single bit of it. I really love how this anime shed light on very human aspects of life and the true nature of humans, it offered a wonderful perspective and got me to ponder about a lot of things. Would highly recommend this is you don't mind all the gore, sexual actions and just want to think about life while also feeling every emotion in this insane rollercoaster.

A Lackluster Side Story
2 August 2020
First off, I'll mention what I thought when going into this anime. I was expecting this side story to be exciting and at least somewhat near the level of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. However, unfortunately it did not come close to reaching that level for me. I felt that the plot was quite random, and the central idea of the actual anime wasn't captivating and didn't make much sense. Throughout the anime there is barely any character development in any of the characters except in the last episode. Furthermore, there were so many new characters being introduced, in addition to some of the original ones, that I couldn't remember all of their names! This aspect was a little exhausting, especially because most of them didn't stay throughout the whole story and disappeared for some episodes and came back. The ending was also quite confusing for me as I didn't end up understanding it.

On the other hand, I enjoyed that the side story stayed true to the art style and made connections to the actual anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The idea of witches still maintains throughout the whole anime and the soundtracks, particularly in the fights, were pretty good!

However, despite these positive aspects, I don't think they are able to make up for the lack of planning and plot of the side story, hence why I gave this 6 stars. Finally, I would recommend this anime if you really truly loved the original anime and would watch just about anything related to it, but if you aren't a superfan I would not encourage you to spend your time watching this side story.

Had Fun Watching It
29 June 2020
It was honestly the best OVA so far for me (I've watched the last 2 as well). I loved the concept and the introduction of a new character, which made the whole episode hilarious! Yato was incredibly funny as always and overall I had a lot of fun watching it!

Noragami: OAD: A Promise in Spring (2014)
Season Unknown, Episode Unknown
6/10
Quite Average
27 June 2020
This OVA wasn't anything special, at least for me. It was pretty average. Yato was quite funny as usual, but a little toned down. It was lovely seeing all the characters interact with each other. However, this OVA was less hilarious than the first one, in my perspective. The plot seemed a little too random, or like two separate mini stories mushed together instead of a whole. It was alright, nothing too major, but still nice to watch I suppose.

Noragami: OAD: God's Possession, God's Curse (2014)
Season Unknown, Episode Unknown
7/10
Pretty Funny
27 June 2020
So I know this is just an OVA, but I thought I should review it nonetheless. So, you can definitely see Yato's personality shine through, which made this "episode" hilarious and engaging. It was overall a pretty decent OVA to watch if you just to want to remember the characters and have a good laugh!

The Promised Neverland (2019–2021)
10/10
Absolutely Amazing
13 June 2020
Honestly I wasn't expecting much coming into the anime. I hadn't heard too much about it from friends and was pretty much spoiler-free and wow did I not see more than half of the things coming. This anime honestly shocked me of how much was going on and how in-depth it was. The characters were diverse and had different personalities. The character development is decent-good for most characters, especially the main ones. The plot-twists are amazing, I'm not sure about everyone that watched this anime, but I did not see any of it coming and was totally taken aback. The plot was engaging and kept me wanting to watch more and continue it until the end. Overall, amazing anime! It's actually the first one I rated 10 stars so far and I have watched a lot of anime since childhood. I'd definitely 100% recommend this anime, preferably if you don't know too much about it before going into it. I'd say maybe go into it knowing it's a thriller-type anime just to be emotionally prepared and not completely horrified or scared. This was truly a masterpiece and I hope they will end up releasing a second season in the near future!

Orange (2016)
9/10
Wow
19 May 2020
I'm honestly speechless. This anime is a masterpiece! The character developments on point for most of the characters and it was just such a rush of emotions! People told me I would cry and I did. A third of the time I wanted to scream because of frustration, the other third of joy and the last third I wanted to cry Because of either happiness or sadness, it depended on the moment/episode. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so emotional, especially since it dealt with themes such as suicide, which for me, are very close to home. I'm still reeling from this wave of literally everything! If you are still considering watching this anime and are okay with the suicide theme in general. Very brilliantly done!

Yuri!!! On Ice (2016–2017)
8/10
Absolutely Breathtaking
29 April 2020
I personally adored this anime! It honestly inspired me to start skating! The emotion displayed was truly outstanding too. I loved how the different characters had quite different personalities and the character development of Yuri Katsuki was also nice to watch. However, I must say that I did not give 10 stars for 2 reasons. First of all, there was a little too much sexual innuendo for my personal taste so I felt a little uncomfortable. And secondly, for some reason I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending, I was expecting something else. Despite all that though, I would definitely recommend this if you don't mind the aspects I mentioned. It was emotional and moving too (I teared up a little). But yes, I would love if there was a second season!

Nice Brief Continuation
25 February 2020
I actually really enjoyed this small season. It was a little boring in the beginning but I quickly picked it up in episode 3! New characters entered and the old ones were still there so that was nice. I enjoyed the humour and laughed as well. I would recommend this if you watched the original Saiki K anime!

Suzuka (2005–2006)
7/10
Quite interesting
18 February 2020
So I just finished watching Suzuka. It wasn't bad per say, it was kind of interesting. I must say, in the beginning I wasn't really feeling the anime just because it was a little "meh" the characters were alright. Towards the ending though, probably the last 6 episodes I was a little more captivated because I'm a huge romantic and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I thought the ending was somewhat satisfying and the soundtracks were pretty good, my favourite has to be "Scars from long ago" because it's honestly so beautiful. If you enjoy romance and want to learn a little more about track and don't mind it being a little cliché go for it!

One word: Wholesome
28 December 2019
In all honesty, wholesome is the perfect word to describe this anime series. It was really nice to watch in my free time and more of a "slice of life" anime. I thought the art style was captivating and cute as well. Although, I feel like I do need to point out that it isn't the best I've ever watched and I occasionally stopped throughout just because it wasn't always my go to since at some points it gets just a tiny bit boring, hence why it isn't a ten. Overall, this anime was great! It almost made me cry, it made me chuckle, like I said, just perfectly wholesome.
