Anime

I’d like to call myself an anime connoisseur. If you want any recommendations (especially rom-coms), feel free to reach out. I have decided to start recording my thoughts on anime from here on out. If I watch and finish a new anime, you will likely be able to find my thoughts on it here.

Roshidere: 8.5. This was a goated anime. Thankfully, season 2 has been announced and all that’s left to do is wait. Kuze is your typical overpowered protagonist (kinda like Ayanokoji from Classroom of the Elite), except not as exaggerated and in the rom-com genre. His interactions with his sister, Yuki, are all hilarious. Yuki in particular has become a really popular character over the years. Like seriously, there are Yuki WeChat GIF packs with tens of thousands of downloads that you can find. Alya and Masha are pretty cool characters. I hope they expand on the earlier memories of Masha shown to us and do something with that in season 2 because that was left underdeveloped. On a side note, I believe that every single episode had a different ending – different song AND different animation, so we should be in good hands.

Watanare: 8.6. This was probably the best yuri anime I’ve watched. It had a very unique art style and it worked wonders. Many of the scenes made my face hurt from the uncontrollable smiling that surfaced after the utterly insane amount of moeness that was exhibited. I really hope that this anime continues because I just can’t get enough.

Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!: 7.7. A fun slice of life anime. While there wasn’t much substance in terms of plot—since it lacked a central storyline or overarching end goal—it was still a fun watch. I loved the interactions between the characters and hope for a Season 2 to see further development in Marie and Kazuhiro’s relationship.
