S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.6
SUMMARY
No Mushoku Tensei, you cannot convince me to have a daughter.
I hope the continued signs from Zenith end with something great. It's not the hardest thing to land, though the slow burn will make it nice to see. Before then, Rudy must deal with a blast from the past.
Sara is back. A very interesting character becasue of when she met Rudeus. In another world, I can see them together, but in this one their history is a difficult one.
Rudeus has never been the best in uncomfortable situations like this, and we see him avoid Sara at first. With some help from others, Rudy stops running and we have a reunion I never thought we would see.
I really liked this. Rudy's maturity shines through here, and it is wonderful to see. Even it is awkward, he is direct and honest while also giving a much needed apology for how things went between them. Sara is also great here; as headstrong as she is, she doesn't hold resentment to Rudy for how things ended. Rudy has changed, and it allows for the sincere conversation both may have needed.
With all tha said, I hope we a level of conversation like this between Rudy and Eris. Their separation being as it was, we'll need a similar level for their reunion not to seem simple and too easy.
Speaking of Eris, we get to see her once more. She has become a sword king, does this mean the reunion is soon to come?
9.9/10, Someone kind, sweet, and forward
2. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.5
SUMMARY
A crack to open the episode, Yasashiki is here! The tallest and one of the kindest, anyone beloeved by nature as she is has to be amazing. And amazing she is! She's protected nature for much of her life thanks to her size, I'm sure having someone give some sincere care to nature alongside her must have been an amazing feeling.
We've met a lot of girls already, but the bonding time we get between these two has to be some of the sweetest. We can see Yasashiki feel disheartened by the fact that Rentaro already has someone, but having someone protect her makes it impossible for her not to confess. Welcome to the family Yasashiki!
I'm sith Rentaro on this one, white dresses and flower crowns are heavy on the heart. But, Yasashiki must join as well! It's a delight for us and Rentaro to see his girls enjoying the farm, let's seal the day with a kiss! Or not?
Yasashiki's size makes her self conscious and keeps her from kissing Rentaro. Now, I see nothing wrong with a woman being taller than her man, I've done it and will do it again! But I understand why Yasashiki hesitates, as does Rentaro. So what does he do? Well, Rentaro is the best boyfriend to ever exist.
9.7/10, Rentaro the man that you are
3. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity. Ep.2
SUMMARY
With Yoruichi down Urahara is left to fight alone. I beleived he would try other things before using his trump card, but no, Uruhara's bankai is here!
The Bankai's we have gotten in this arc have all be amazing, this one is no different. The ability to reconstruct whatever it touches, a horrifying ability in general, but in the hands of someone with a mind like Uruhara it's something beyond terrifying. Of course, it is his mind that allows him victory, he is a special threat for a reason.
With that battle done, Ichigo and Orihime reach Yawach. Uryu's plan has a major miscalculation in it, believing that Yawach would be much weaker without the almighty. It's far from the truth, and Ichigo's rash nature makes his fighting reckless.
9/10, super cool bankai
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
4. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.17
SUMMARY
I understand Gabby's frustration when fighting someone so willing to make the life of a friend more difficult. Akio's betrayal fails but I love the detail of how suspicions for him rose. Yuru aiming to only kill him was an excellent detail I didn't even notice, but it was very well used.
Apart from the fight against Akio, we get a look into why the Kagemori head is able to partner with more than one daemon. I'd be more intersted if Yuru could do the same, though his personality is just not built on commanding daemons. It would help his situation at the moment; as Akio is defeated, Yuru is also in a perilous state facing off against two daemon users.
8.9/10, will Yuru die?
5. The Ghost in the Shell. Ep.5
SUMMARY
We're hunting a cyborg today.
The far north looks like a place few could survive, but one that would offer unbelievable experiences for the short time allowed to live within. While I wouldnt survive, Kusanagi has no problem doing so. Old contacts help her with today's mission, though it will be others of the team that run into the target first.
As Batou deals with Koil in a cool but quick fight, Kusanagi finds her target by infiltrating a base. Her cautious nature makes her intial way of getting inside fail, she's forced to rely on brute force to make her way deeper. It's a complete success, though not all endings are happy.
8.9/10, fixating on what ifs is human nature
B: Good/Solid
6. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.4
SUMMARY
Reirin is so likable. Offering to switch back with the one that hates her most, even after living in a healthy body for once shows her kindness, though even she is not willing to extend such kindess to everyone.
My favorite scene was Leelee questioning the woman that stands in Keigetsu's body. I hope we get the reveal this season to at least Leelee, though Mr. eagle eyes has his own suspicions that could lead to more poeple suspecting something similar. These two may not be the only ones however, next epsiode could elicit more suspicions as Reirin prepares a special performance.
8/10, will the reveal come sooner than later?
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.
7. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.5
SUMMARY
Not all things can go as we hope. Before we begin farming, we get a visit that brings great gifts for Dias. Horses are the gift from his most recent ally. He returns the favor of course, though we may need to give him a consultant on the price of things before we give away too much for too little.
Today's goal is to get a farm going. My favorite pass time in minecraft, though it isn't as simple for Dias as crops continue to fail depsite the help he receives. He's not one to give up, but his honest efforts are not always enough to make things work. Instead, he may need help from someone. Two someone's perhaps.
6.7/10, what are the twins thinking?
8. Skeleton Knight in Another World II. Ep.5
SUMMARY
It was Yakof all along!
The crew continues to investigate the mysteries of the dungeon they have found, but it is Chiyome's return that gives them another edge for what waits inside.
What waits inside is a mine full of slaves. The slaves are worked to death here, be it exhaustion or disaster. And disaster does strike, one elf is crushed and dragged away even as their wife watches and begs to help. Arc and co won't let this go on for much longer, but there is a giant foe waiting for them.
A giant skeleton fight was unexpected but quick with an ending I liked. Having Yakof die to the one he betrayed is poetic, though victory does not mean we could save everyone.
6.7/10, Chiyome!
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.
