S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.13
SUMMARY
Elanalise is pregnant?! Roxy is sick?! Oh, we're doing this. I'm not sure I can deal with this pain, but I will try.
In a world where Roxy is infected with the crystallization sickness, Cliff dies very soon after trying to help his friend get what he needs.
Rudeus must make his way back home as a criminal, and bumps into Eris as he does. I've said many times I never wanted them just to make up, but boy did Rudeus's words hurt. I get his demeanor and anger, especially considering what is going on, and what he must soon discover. Losses compound, that of a friend and a lover, falling into depression is only natural.
It's very interesting to see Rudeus revert from all the progress he made growing up. We can argue all day about him not being loyal to one girl but he's only ever been with woman he has a deep love for. As such, hearing her words after seeing the betrayal was terrible, but things only get worse for Rudeus.
This is the world that sees the worst of Rudeus. A man we know is in there, but one that is suppressed by his own desire to become a better person. The spiral leads him to do disgusting and heartbreaking things; treating his family as he did, falling into drunkenness, and then the eventual hate filled hunt for the Man God.
If anything has changed other than Rudy reverting back to a despicable being, it's his resilience. Endless loss leaves him with no one, and soon he is old. A life that ended with nothing but pain, though he leaves hope for his past self, and the world gifts him with the sight he wished for one last time.
11/10.
2. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.12
SUMMARY
Shizuka is so gosh darn adorable. Her mother, on the other hand, is terrifying.
Her worry for Shizuka is understandable. In other other anime I would have agreed, but not in one where she has a caring boyfriend like Rentoaro. Given her worry, she's cruel to Shizuka in hopes of forcing her to gain confidence. Rentaro still fights back however, Shizuka is Shizuka and there is no need for her to be like others.
Rentaro's words are awesome, but it is Shizuka who must fight for herself here. This is not rain, I am crying. Despite her inability to talk, she's still happy to be who she is, happy to be born. There's nothing more beautiful than that, and the combined efforts of this lovely couple have swayed even Shizuka's mother. What a beautiful ending to this amazing chapter, it's just as good as I remember.
We're in the season ending now. What better way end then seeing just how Rentaro interacts with all his girlfriends. In all honesty, the guy puts us all to shame, yet I have nothing but admiration for him. There is no limit to what Rentaro will do for his girls. We can only hope to be a percentage as good as him, and we can hope that we'll get more seasons full of new girlfriends in the future.
10/10, I love this anime.
3. Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4. Ep.18
SUMMARY
Never expected a big old dragon up top. As much I dislike Subaru, it's extremely hard not to like Emilia. Even more so after seeing her soldiers. That's all we get of her now however, we're off to see Ram fight.
Cor Leonis is Subaru's authority. The opposite of an old foe it seems, it allows him to take on another's pain from what I can see. It allows Ram to fight in a good state, but she's still facing a difficult opponent. One that can even take the appearance of someone precious to her.
Despite some initial difficulty, the return of Ram's horn gives her an unbelievable power up. It's enough to dominate in her battle against Gluttony, and take victory and bloody fashion. What a fight, but Patrasche is still MVP.
9.7/10, is Emilia ok?
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
4. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.11
SUMMARY
It's unfortunate that Shu allowed herself to be manipulated into hatred for the empress. Her crime has been revealed, and the interrogation will end with a grave punishment unless there is mercy.
That is not the only fate that is to be decided. The prince will need to decide what to do with Keigetsu, but also how to deal with his guilt. The overwhelming sensation after almost killing the woman he loves is enough to affect the world itself, were it not for Reirin then the guilt-ridden prince would have lost control and caused great damage.
The prince had some absolute killer lines this episode, and for a bit I thought I would be disappointed by the rest. There is alack of punishment in my opinion, yet every interaction we get because of it is great. The ending is very satisfying, especially since I believe that Leelee is part of the Kou clan now. And, we may even get a second season.
9/10, very enjoyable.
5. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.24
SUMMARY
Last episode though a season 2 has been announced!
Things are tense at the Kagemori clan. Hikaru is angry at his father for how he treats problems, often killing as a solution without second thought. Hikaru is very idealistic, but Gabby lets him know that the real world is much crueler than he hopes it would be.
Life is calm to start this episode. The Kagemori house does what it can to accept the betrayal, even Asa accepts that not all if his her fault. On the other side, Yuru and co are recovering well. It would be simple enough to continue life like this, but it is not to be as Higashi village agents are summoned for a meeting that Tadera skips out on.
This meeting is tense. I believed Hana would be in trouble with the people here, but none seem to suspect her relationship with Yuru and Dera. instead, the danger lies elsewhere.
9/10, ending on this cliffhanger for the season is criminal.
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.
6. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.12
SUMMARY
Dias can get sick?
The wound on his chest has left him in bed with a bad fever. Alna feels guilty, though there isn't much she can do at the moment. Medicine has had little effect, but there is one more left that will come from our local little elves.
The idea of a medicine that can cure any ailment seems like fantasy, but that is just what Sanjivani is. With Dias and Eldan having a miracle recovery after drinking it, signs point to the two having the real thing. Eldan is grateful, but now we must discuss his reason for a visit.
Dias has built more than he could have ever dreamed of. Much of it is thanks to Alna, but his own kindness has brought along many of those who now stay with him. With a new position as duke and a surname, I'm sure it will continue to grow. Overall, a cute little watch.
7/10
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.
