Ranking for anime episodes released May 29, 2026 to June 4, 2026
R.I.P Cimo, a legend of the yugioh community that I, and many others will miss.
S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun. Ep.9
SUMMARY
Foresight is often use to criticize. Ohga made the wrong decision, but under the circumstances it is what she beleived best. Even so, I am surprsied by how many are turning on Ohga given past results.
Kaku gets some of the best news possible with Ryumon's return. The poor guy may have worked himself into extreme exhaustion however, it really will fall to Aoteru. Their opponent, Ohga, must now regain authority in her army before advancing, and it is only possible with the self sacrifice of Yayakichi.
Old men in this anime are awesome. Yayakichi is willing to throw everything away for the sake of Sei.
The assassination plot was the final peice, a way to make punsihment inevitable. It is cruel to Ohga, the words he spews are daggers meant to spur the necessary action from her. It is Yasuke's heartbreaking plea that is the final push, I guess it runs in their blood.
Yamato has a difficult battle incoming. Ohga, and Yayakichi's sons, are now more determined than ever before. Will Aoteru's gamble work? I doubt even he understands the incoming force.
What an episode, what a character, what an anime.
10/10, did I see kevin penkin is working on this anime in the opening creditis?! This anime juet keeps getting better
2. Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4. Ep.9
SUMMARY
If you're like me, you couldn't wait for this episode to arrive. The twist of Subaru's memory loss has been done well, and we had Shaula's activation to look foward to as well.
Subaru's dive into insanity continues as escaping seems impossible. It will drive him into a murderous mindset, but he returns to find another twist in the horrid slaughter of everyone inside the tower, inclduing Shaula.
The twists only continue. Subaru is saved by Patrasche who must be able to sense that the guy is losing it, but he still loses this life to... well, I won't spoil this because my jaw dropped. Like in days long past, Subaru's insanity settles after returning from the dead, his loss of control won't save him from dying and he now searches for answers on the culporit behind the massacre.
Starting with Julius only leads to another great scene, or two in this case. Any time Julius speaks I just expect sensational writing, but I questioned if Sbuaru had actually lost his memories when turning Shaula away. All is confrimed soon after as he does give Shaula a reward, but the guy's innocence transcends all memories.
There is no reveal to the big mysteries this episode, but this episode is a prime example what makes this one of the greats. The mysteries and twists are so good that I can't wait for the next episode.
10/10, sensational.
3. Witch Hat Atelier. Ep.10
SUMMARY
Coco's doing her best to recover, but its being alone that scares her the most. After Qifrey leaves to help with the fire, it's Tartah that joins her.
Seing the world through Tartah's eyes, and the struggles therein, was fantastic. It affects him, stealing the ability to identify things by color; somehting done more often than one would think, even more so in a world of magic.
In a world with magic, Coco believes it can be just what is needed when all else feels hopeless. Her spell failed to begin, it is Tartah's adjustments that make the spell work and give him hope for finding the medicine he needs. It's a great discovery for Tartah, and, for us, I believe this is the first time we see another look at magic with the same wonder as Coco.
A fantastic episode overall, I only worry of Coco's ray of hope. Although, only if she rushes into it. Should she do more research before trying to invert the spell, than I hope it will work out. I hope she does wait, in that case the only thing to worry about will be the brimmed caps and their upcoming plans.
10/10, Love how magic is used in this anime.
4. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.9
SUMMARY
For a moment I thought we found the traitor in the family, but our local mangaka is too focused on his work. He could still be a traitor given the details of how the intruders got in, his abilities seem most capable of this.
As the mystery of the traitor continues, Dera and Yuru explore more of the wonders in Japan. Yuru is introduced to the luxury of a big store, the guy will never run out of glue again. Not everything is to his liking, not as much as the stuff inside Dera's home that is.
Is that a rocket launcher?! What is Dera preparing for? The mysteries never end with this guy as he shows us the Tadera lost house while dealing with people tailing them. People aren't as scary as the daemons that show up, it's the first time Left and Right take the initiative in the fight.
9.2/10, can't wait to see this fight.
5. Classroom of the Elite 4th Season: Second Year, First Semester. Ep.13
SUMMARY
Wait, it was actually Ichika?! Or is she?? There is more to her than we know, one of the mysteries being her obsession with Ayanokouji. If we are to believe her, then the ploy to send an assassins after the boy has failed due to unforeseen admiration.
With Tsubasa out of the picture, Ayanokouji continues alone. His plan is to remain just below tenth place in points as to not raise suspicion. Will he be able to swoop in right at the end? It may be possible with the points being doubled on the last day,
Before then, Ayanokouji will make some new encounters he has yet to see so far during the island test. Shiranami is one such encounter, he helps her find her teammates after being lost in the forests. Of course, this is only for his own benefit. The boy will never change.
9/10, alright, Ichika x Ayanokouji it is.
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
6. Digimon Beatbreak. Ep.33
SUMMARY
Nice to see some of team tactics living out peaceful lives after being child soldiers of a corrupt organization. You'd hope they would be able to continue as such, but an encounter with the last of their team, Raito, brings other remnants of their past as well.
Another team under Tactics captures Raito's old teammates, leaving only Tomoro and Raito to save them. Raito has no interest in helping, which leaves Tomoro to go and help alone. The guy is a ride or die for any friend it seems, I really like this guy!
Now, I know they are our enemies, but the digmon we see this episode are so cool! Come on, stealth core, a shield and rifle, we even get a sniper! Paired with only rookie level digimon, Tomoro is left in a bad spot until he finally digivolves Geckomon. It's still not enough, but Raito returns!
Raito has achieved an ultimate level digivolution, his goal still to surpass Tomoro as we discover that he works under another five star now. He has saved his old friends, but I hope we get to see some mega level battle between these two rivals.
8.5/10, Tomoro is just that guy
7. Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2. Ep.20
SUMMARY
As time goes on, I find myself accepting that I have a type. I like Zani and Hiyuki from wuthering waves, and now I believe I'm smitten by Cerridwen. Don't' save me, I'm right where I want to be.
With that said, Will and Julius continue their training as the day for a retest approaches. There isn't great success as of yet, even with Julius's impressive efforts outside of the combat training. I'll commend him for his efforts, though the reason for the change in his heart is something I believe he should move on from.
I'm sure there's someone out there for Julius even if his first love was lost to another. The change in his persona to mask the pain he attempts to keep deep within will one day need to fall, before then he must survive the training of a witch rumored to be a difficult teacher.
8.4/10, I call next in the training
B: Good/Solid
8. Liar Game. Ep.9
SUMMARY
This is my favorite episode so far. Yes, Nao isn't doing it alone, but she is executing the plan to absolute perfection each time.
To start, Nao loses a rigged card game with money and votes on the line. The idea that she will lose settles in after the loss but Shinichi arrives at last. Understanding that the game was rigged, Shinichi gives Nao a plan to win the card game second round, marking the card baby.
The plan works to perfection, but only because everyone looks down on Nao. She uses their perception of her to get one over on Fukunaga, and then the rest of the players in the loser games. The idea of getting one over on a common enemy, and having an alliance is something no one can risk losing, but it is that that makes them believe they can take advantage of Nao.
Well, not only is Nao now in control, but she has a brutal lead too.
8/10, let's go Nao!
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.
9. Farming Life in Another World Season 2. Ep.9
SUMMARY
I liked this episode, but only because of how unhinged the mountain elves are. Easily the best episode of the season and I would we focus on them instead of the play by play commentator, Hikaru.
With that said, the creations of the mountain elves were a lot of fun. Not trying out the the massage chair was rude, they created what he asked for even if it was a little dangerous. All is forgiven of course, we get to see an even more unhinged creation, a jumping car? Whatever it is, seeing them kick each other off a high ledge with nothing but hopes and dreams was a joy.
6/10, let's focus on the elves now please
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.
10. Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 5. Ep.9
SUMMARY
How long has Kazuya known Mizuhara by this point? Answer that!
Listen, I'm all for being nervous around your crush, but this is too much. He should at the very least be able to to hold a simple conversation by this point. Adding on what he has put her through, you would think he could least maintain simple thoughts when she is just existing in his vicinity.
You'd think he would be the same around Ruka. The caring girlfriend who would come over to check on him the entirety of the three months he was in dumps for no good reason. She wants him, she cares for him, she's just as pretty... Na! I want the one who can't even decide if she wants a relationship.
1/10, Ruka deserves better
