Ranking for anime episodes released Feb. 6, 2026 to Feb. 12, 2026
Back home and hit with heavy post Japan depression. Only thing left to do now is work hard to go back one day, and watch some anime! Forgot to publish this one, sorry!
S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Sentenced to Be a Hero. Ep.6
SUMMARY
Humans siding with the demon lord was surprising, but even that is not enough to discourage the great king!
While admiring the king, I was taken aback by Teoritta's words. She is right, Xylo's entire being serves to protect others in need, even those that consider him a pesk. In that case, I say we give him some much deserved head pats to him, and Tatsuya as well.
Onto Xylo and Teoritta versus the demon army, surprise reinforcemnts give him the chance to strike with a giant swords and a trap he set earlier. The attack hits, but a counter attack leaves Xylo with a brutal wound to his back.
Wounded and tired, Xylo confesses that Teoritta's words were true and accepts her help despite the danger. A holy sword is summonoed, and the strike claims victory for our team.
With victory claimed, Xylo recovers at a hospital where he receives a vist from a strange man with warnings of Xylo being targeted by a group who wish to coexist with the demon blight. That’s all we get from the man, soon Xylo sees his old goddess in Teorrita. A bittersweet moment, but one that brings head pats to Teoritta.
9.5/10, I love the heroes
1. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2. Ep.4
SUMMARY
I never noticed how often girls fix their bangs unti going to Japan so I had a itle giggle at Fern doing so. They look good to me, but what do I know. Anyway, Fern looks great for the date, and Stark notices this as well.
The date starts with them going to the markets and having some awkward conversataion. Stark isn't the best conversationalist, but he doesn't think much other than Fern is cute at the moment. With the date continuing, we the return of oversized food in Frieren, and soon the sun is setting.
Although not perfect, I think I can call the date a success. As a reward we get to see some more of Himmel. I aspire to be like him, he's way of viewing the world is wonderful, despite the difficulty of living in a world filled with dangers like their own.
The journey continues and Fern is able to use her status as a first class mage to get past the gates to the northern plateau. Dangers are immediate here, though what we see so far is only enough to tire the crew until they reach a village.
I asked the same question as Stark when I first saw a village in the northern plateau. It's difficult to say I agree with staying, but I too would have difficulty leaving my home with all the memories I have made without a specific reason. And so, Madhouse is tasked with animating a great fight as usual.
This fight was great from start to finish. When need be, Stark locks in like no other and the group is able to win through some great team work.
9.5/10, Himmel is cursed to be a fantastic character
![[Oshi No Ko] Season 3](https://efvedablogbucket.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/images/oshiNoKo.jpg)
4. [Oshi No Ko] Season 3. Ep.5
SUMMARY
Akane takes the lead role in investgating Ai's killer, raising the suspicions of Aqua as he calls her. I do like these two as a caouople, they both have screws loose but haave a relationship in whitch they both have brought light to anoe another. Akane's words to Aqua are just an examlpe of this, though I fear that Aqua's desire for revenge will prevail.
While there are many complaints about Oshi No Ko regarding the ending, I still believe it does an excellent job in conveying the brautal reality of the entertainment industry. Kana is also going through a rough patch as well at the moment, struggling as a idol and with dreams of acting. It is this that drives her to meeting film industry contacts just for the chance of living out her dream.
Meeting with Shima, Kana listens to him give a drunken rabble about his dislikes of the current film industry and how talented actors aren't valued as they should be. The conversation takes them back to Shima's place where he reveals his true intentions and manipulates Kana by appealing to her greatest desire. The poor girl is so desperate for this opportunity that she almost allows it to happen until she is reminded of Aqua.
Kana remains safe, but her exit is captured and I fear of the repercussions to come from this
8.8/10, the entertainment seems so cool yet full of depravity
4. Hell's Paradise Season 2. Ep.4
SUMMARY
I'm not skipping that opening man!!!!!!
Plans for escaping the island alive continue with a focus on learning stealth from the ninjas of the group. Yuzuriha begins the teaching with dampening tao, then some impossible teachings from Gabimaru. Groups are established based on attributes and are given their mission; though there is an emphasis on stealth at the moment, I doubt this will go without battle.
Mei's goals are revealed here as well, the reasons behind why she remained on this island despite being able to escape. Gabimaru will help her, but I believe it will lead to more issues with the addition to the Tensen.
Speaking of the new addition, Choubei is given a tour of the Tensen quarters and some of the horrors within. This is a short scene, we're soon infiltrating the Tensen quarters as the time is best now given all that is going on.
Gabuimaru and Yuzuriha give a great display of their skills in infiltration, sneaking inside with ease and reaching the main lab where the elixir should be. Mei believed it would be empty here, but inside awaits Ran of the Tensen who hides himself by dampening his tao. The others are also faced with Tensen, meaning the initial plan is out the door, all that is left to do now is fight. Or I would say, but Gabimaru's believes it is all over. As a ninja, he doesn't understand the power of will, but his desire to see his beloved will soon shine through I hope.
8.8/10, Yui is real!!!!
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
5. The Darwin Incident. Ep.6
SUMMARY
The overarching dilemma in this anime is so interesting. I believe the advocates are over radicalized for effect, but the idea behind them is prevalent in the our world to some extent. As for Charlie, I liked his answer to the question posed; the pedestal he is placed on is not one he thinks he should be on, and not one he cares for either.
Because of his efforts, Gare is recruited by the ALA as a promising recruit they can use. His connection to Charlie is the true reason for his recruitment, the ALA believes he is the only one that can bring the humanzee to their side. Gare shows his conviction to the group through a bloody display, though this is just the start.
As for what comes next, all I can say is, of fuck. I thought the warning at the start was for the initial murder, but the second display was brutal. The leader of the ALA, rivera I believe, is willing to go to any lengths for his goal, using the cries of the helpless students to convey what he believes to be the injustice faced by animals. It's horrifying, but not to the point of sole shock value. It is a hard hitting scene by design, and it it lands it's impact.
8.7/10, I don't even know
6. Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1. Ep.7
SUMMARY
The music behind Geto leading leading Sasaki out of the colony was great. This is a supernatural moment for all of them, and Geto is near a godlike figure taking them to salvation despite being the casuse of it all.
Hakari has no choice but to accept that Gojo has been sealed and that Yaga is dead. He agrees to help on the condition that the others help him afterwards as well, and Fushigoro uses his position to string him along some more before Kogane gives them information of the players.
With their targets decided, the team leaves for their respective colonies. Entering the colony immediately sends the player to one of nine predetermeined spots, Yuji is sent into tho the skies where he is attacked by a flying woman and her husband. Fushigoro shares a similar fate, though his opponent is much cuter and less violent.
Both of our guys are led by their respective surprise partners to Higurama, though both say a different location for the target. Is this a lie or do they not know? We'll find out next episode!
8.5/10, JJK is always a fun watch
B: Good/Solid
C: It's ok/ Fine
These are shows I happen to pick up but struggle to finish. Still watchable, but not without a good break in between episodes.
D: Do Not Recommend
Shows I do not recommend you watch for various issues.
F: Bad
Anime with glaring issues that make them not only difficult to watch, but the watcher angry at times.
