S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.8
SUMMARY
Wait, they're graduating? I believe they're may have been a mention about this last season, though it still comes as a surprise to see an entire class graduate. Graduation in generally is a special moment, though I am little sad that we are losing the two.
If Nanahoshi isn't careful we may lose her as well. Her stubbornness keeps her at her experiments without stop, though this one will have to wait as Rudeus has been summoned by his loyal duo.
Linia and Pursena battle for the title of chief. Rudy might be a little to into this fight, though I can't blame for enjoying an absolute brawl that ends with Pursena as the victor. A bittersweet end, parting always is as much as it is part of life. In this case however, the two may stay together, please do!
With that done, we're back to the experiment. What are the results?! It's a watermelon! The success calls for celebration which gives Norn the opportunity to speak with Rudy about joining the council.
To me, Norn speaking with Rudy, and his calmness about thinking how to respond are a great way to convey his growth over time. Life is good, but it could be great if Nanahoshi's reward leads to the return of Zenith's memory.
9.5/10, oh boy, I did not expect that name
2. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.6
SUMMARY
Rentaro is on the hunt for the mysterious massager today. It's Momiji!
I'm not much different from Momiji, though a lot less free spirited. Rentaro helps Momiji move the tennis team to their club room and gets a massage from her in return. It's no surprise that Rentaro's body has plenty of built up stress, the guy would carry mountains if one his girls asked for it. His efforts are great enough to build stress on their own, but he's doing it for Momiji by helping none other then...
NOZAWA SENSEI?!!!! I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH MAN!!!!!!!!!!
Momiji is welcomed into the family after some nice words from Rentaro and is soon to work on the girls of the family. Of all the girls, it's no surprise that some are stiffer than others; in return for her work she takes payment in her favorite way possible, though I would take a double serving of the thigh war.
9.5/10, maybe the best break of the fourth wall ever?
3. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity. Ep.3
SUMMARY
Few things are more terrifying then a Kenpachi. You would think a living god might pose a challenge, but Orihime shows no such fear when facing their greatest enemy yet.
As they fight, Yawach tells Ichigo of the true reason Ichibe brought him. The plan was to place Ichigo as the new soul king; a sacrifice made without his consent though one he cares little about as protecting the world takes precedent over everything. Truly admirable, though I don't want him to be lose his life.
I remember the absolute chokehold Toshiro had the community back in the day, it's awesome to see him again in all his glory with a quick bankai to start his fight. As cool as he is, we're back to Ichigo who is just as cool if we're honest. He continues his struggle against Yawach with a plan in mind of waking up an old ally, what a cool for to end on!
There at least, we get nothing but cool this episode. From the visord, to Ichigo, to Toshiro, and now Kenpachi showing off a new weapon, and, maybe even a bankai?
9.3/10, it's time
4. Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4. Ep.12
SUMMARY
Subaru is back. If he has kept the memories of the time he spent without them, then I can understand his break down. As I've said before, he greatest strength is his mental resilience, but we'll need more to survive the tower.
Now, I am little confused. I thought all of his memories returned, but it seems to not be the case. At best some have returned, at least enough to continue the mission that they came for.
It's also enough for him to prepare for the push and fall he has already experienced. It gives him the chance to catch the culprit in Meili who seeks revenge for someone she detests, yet doesn't want to forget about. An interesting relationship, though not a strange one as it also exists in our world.
With that resolved, the issue of conquering the tower returns. Whatever caused his amnesia, it will have to wait while the group focuses on beating Reid. Was this the idea Subaru had before?
9/10, Ram annoys me I'm sorry!
5. The Ghost in the Shell. Ep.6
SUMMARY
This was a very cool episode. Finding out Kusanagi is in a relationship is not strange because she is a beauty; though I expected her to stay far from such things given her lifestyle.
With that said, she and her partner are attacked by an old terrorist she once failed to kill. Her suspicions fall onto the old foe immediately, and the battle between starts only moments after she leaves the hospital. On most days she would have a good chance, but today they are hopelessly outgunned, and up against the one person she never wanted to fight.
Aramaki's investigation lands on the conclusion that Kusanagi discovers on the battlefield. Soma, the old foe, made a deal with section one in exchange for Kusanagi. Section one gives him the think tank to drive Kusanagi into a corner, her life saved by the arrival of a teammate and her lucky man.
9/10, get well soon Togusa
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
6. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.5
SUMMARY
Reirin and Leelee have arrived and dropped jaws in doing so. Beef is immediate - my favorite kind - as Reirin eyes her target.
Once settled in, the offering of dances begin. Rewards are given out for the dancers, Reirin has sent cute balls for everyone, including her biggest hater in Seika who has a wonderful performance that I hoped she would mess up in. This allows Reirin to return the hair pin however, so all is working in our favor.
Reirin is next! In short, the performance is stunning and receives a standing ovation and even praise from Seika, for her and Leelee!
9/10, a plot twist?
7. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.18
SUMMARY
Asuma isn't the traitor? I still believe he was behind the wall as he must act as if he is helping an enemy that his daemons are weak to by nature. It's the long game win con, but will he get the help to beat wind and lightning from Yuru and co?
Facing Shingo will be difficult no matter what, but Yuru is still here for the hostages from home. Some old and new friends are also to help save the day, one group reaches fake Asa as the old man of the Kagemori clan is wreaking havoc. Is it Yuru?! Nope, it's none other than the one being impersonated, Asa!
Hey! Give us more of left and right!
8.9/10
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.
8. Skeleton Knight in Another World II. Ep.6
SUMMARY
Holy ****, he's hot!
Getting to the spring won't be as easy as Arc would have liked it, he'll have to fight a mighty dragon before doing so. At least, only for a moment before Ariane arrives to calm things down. The dragon lord is understanding and allows the team through, it's time for Arc to turn back into a human!
Well, we do get Arc to turn back into a god of a man for a moment. In his own excitement, he allows himself to fall to heat exhaustion and sleeps for some time. In this time his body returns to that of a skeleton, and he soon finds that his body will no longer turn back from the power of the hot spring water.
A bummer to say the least, though the dragon lord gives an explanation that confuses me. From what I gather, there is still hope, but there are foes we must take care of before chasing said hope.
7/10, let that man turn back!
9. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.7
SUMMARY
So they were hiding something! Their ability to help the fields grow is cool and will help the village, though it may be difficult to do so if they wish to keep it a secret from everyone but Aymer.
Speaking of Aymer, we have a new addition to the family. Much to the horror of Alna, a little rat has become friends with her adopted daughters. Aymer is nice enough, though she won't be the only new arrival. We have more people coming soon!
And new people we see by the end of the episode! But, they're being chased by a giant snake, it's time for Dias to the rescue.
7/10, it's the girl from ending!
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.
