S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.5
SUMMARY
Oh boy, it's idol time!
After an accident only the author of this series could think of, the family is preparing for an idol performance. Some of the girls show immediate aptitude for the performance while others struggle for different reasons.
The struggling girls take a break and have an honest discussion about their struggles. They're willing to sit this performance out, but that's not what the Rentaro family is all about. Rentaro takes over as the coach for the girls, and we're back on track for the performance!
It's the day of the performance! I have one complaint. In the manga, if I remember correctly, the performance starts a little bad. And that's just not the case here! I'm smiling from ear to ear from the start, but, we need one of my favorite scenes of the manga!
As it turns out, even a new group can have haters. They're against Rentaro, and another great, that's right, Hiro is here! Together, Hiro and Rentaro create an entire crowed together; just beautiful. A top notch performance done, applause for everyone involved.
10/10, magnificent.
2. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.5
SUMMARY
You should try it, Rudy, you lucky dog. Even if there is a price, the cost is something Rudy has come into contact with before. Wedding time!
Gosh, the wedding was so sweet. I'm a sucker for romance, the idea of spending a lifetime with someone is what my heart yearns for. Do Rudy's girl yearn for more as well? Perhaps, but we know that he is more than willing to give them all the life of love they deserve.
Rudy wastes little time acting on his desires after getting some help from a newlywed. Lucky guy indeed, but soon he must act on another plan for a surprise birthday dedicated to his little sisters.
The plot to set up the surprise birthday works to get Norn and Roxy closer, but Rudy also shows off a new spell he has been working on. A little childish from him, but it gives the team time to set up the surprise party.
Many times, when I watch anime for as long as I have watched Mushoku Tensei, I pray for happy times like this. For example, I wanted nothing more than for Thorfin to find peace and reunite with his family. Seeing them smile at the birthday party, seeing Zenith express herself even just a little more, I wish for nothing more. But, as I've said many times, I'm sure there is much we must do before I can get the wishes for Rudy granted. For now, I can only hope that Rudy will stay strong, and everyone remain safe.
9.5/10, Stay safe everyone.
3. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity. Ep.1
SUMMARY
Watching Bleach in it's final season reminds me of the magic held by the big three. There is a reason Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece hold the title, and seeing this one get a season for its end has been an absolute pleasure to see. Here's to the final season, and all that the big three have done for anime.
Ishida gives Ichigo and co the go ahead for Yawach. It leaves him to face Haschwalth alone who holds the almighty at the moment. The animation is just as clean as we would hope here, though it does mean we have to witness Ishida get beat down for a little bit in extreme quality.
Over to Yoruichi. Good lord Yoruichi. With some help from Uruhara she gets the edge she needs. The real winners are us however, we get to see Yoruichi in peak condition under her new form. She's the ultimate counter to someone who can adapt to anyone, though her initial flurry of attacks will not be enough to finish the battle as quick as Urahara wishes.
9.5/10, The Bleach Finale is near.
4. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.16
SUMMARY
As Yuru has to make the decision on whether to die or not, Right and Left are at battle with the daemon sword wielder. Left is caught by surprise and loses her left arm to start, but it is the smell of Yuru's family blood on the swords that brings Right into the fight.
Dera leaves the two to fight as he searches for Yuru. With little clues on where to go, he finds himself with a surviving bandit where he protects Hana's name with a simple lie. The surprises don't end here however, the Kagemori head himself has made an appearance and makes easy work of anyone in his path.
Yuru isn't the only twin in danger, Asa is targeted by someone inside the manor itself. Will she be ok?
8.9/10, let's go Left and Right!
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
5. The Ghost in the Shell. Ep.4
SUMMARY
The woman in this anime are so fine, it may be worth the dangers the world carries.
Kusanagi's group focusing on robots going insane today. Feral may be the best word for the condition we see in the mass of robots in cages, but the cause behind it is a mystery at the moment.
Investigating the cause behind the crazed units leads to a chase down after a possible suspect is shot in the head. The shot caught me off guard, which is rare to say but it reminded of that one shot from Summertime Rendering, if you remember then you're awesome.
Catching the shooter gives them some information about Hanka Precision, Togusa and Batou infiltrate the base soon after. Inside we find the culprits behind the crazed units, and it may be one of my favorite scenes of the season despite the disturbing views around it.
It's difficult to say the kids are wrong for how they sent SOS messages; trying to get out of their situation by any means is natural, the ones that should face justice are at the harbor instead. More than one culprit is caught today, even someone once known for aiding a good cause can end with a withered heart.
9/10, we're off to England?
B: Good/Solid
6. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.3
SUMMARY
I may have teared up a little.
Reirin continues to enjoy life in a healthy body. Her kind and curios nature benefit from it as she continues to farm amongst other activities she struggled with before. As kind she is, she understands that Leelee meansto harass, though she is unsure of why at the moment.
Leelee's efforts all end in failure as Reirin seems to enjoy each of her plots. In time, the one she is working under even suggests that Leelee has been lying about the attempts to torture Reirin and gives them an ultimatum. With blade in hand, Leelee returns to do what she must.
Reirin survives thanks to the eagle eye, but Leelee is also sparred as Reiren refuses to allow her court lady to be taken away. Saving her from being imprisoned is not all however, it is her words to Leelee that save the girl from the path she was on and we have a new found devotion because of it.
8.4/10, will these two be separated?
7. Skeleton Knight in Another World II. Ep.4
SUMMARY
Oh yea, I like Eevin.
Arc being tested by Ariane's older sister is one way for them to meet, though he may still have a way to go before he gets permission to marry the beauty. While he may have to wait for that luxury, he does have what it takes to help in this new case Eevin is working on.
The investigation takes them to a sanctuary where elves are taken in. Elves are given refuge and helped return home, though this could all be a lie. The girls take initiative to investigate inside before having Arc help them inside with his teleportation ability.
Now inside, they follow the strange presence they sensed earlier to find... more Arcs?! The team is up against a group of undead, find out next time how they survive!
7/10, is he worthy?
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.
8. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.4
SUMMARY
We have a new ally in Eldan. A half human half demi human, he has ventured to meet his hero in Dias and gets more than what he bargained. Hearing of Eldan's efforts to help demi humans is nice and something that Dias will love to have as ally, the two are similar in how accepting they are and he gives much needed advice to Dais for the times to come. I hope the two sides will interact more, perhaps in upcoming battles if need be.
With Eldan's leave, we are reminded that not every visitor is a friend as a group of bandits try to attack Dias in the dead of night. Alna's ability allows her to sense the sneak attack and the two make easy work of the intruders before any real danger occurs.
Are we getting new visitors every episode, perhaps the next will be a new villager.
6.5/10, that's his wife
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.
