(Spring 2024 anime SPOILERS)

Anime of the Season: Himitsu no AiPri

Best Girl of the Season: Hoshikawa Mitsuki

Blue Archive The Animation: 10/10
✋ 😭 🤚

Dainana Ouji: 10/10
Crazy how there isn't a single frame that's even close to being subpar, everything felt so consistently high quality. Love Ren's outfit and Lloyd really got a wildin body frame.

Date A Live V: 9/10
Crazy how Maria manifested a physical form and stole the best girl's role in those few seconds. Final fight was cool too.

Girls Band Cry: 10/10
I remember watching the Nameless Name MV last year and instantly falling in love with Nina's voice as well as how expressive and bubbly the animation looks. All their songs released since are all so good too. Hoping for another season from their project's continuation. Also love the Nina doll in the opening.

Hibike! Euphonium S3: 10/10
Loved how Kumiko didn't make the part for the soli, I can't even think of a case off the top of my mind where the main character doesn't win in the end so this does make for a nice unexpected surprise. Those 6 minutes during the final performance resurfaced many past memories of mine, revisiting Kumiko's past and remembering what my life was like back when I first watched them. I also love all the candid and normal actions you'd see friends doing being animated that no other anime have done that I know of, at least to this level.

HIGHSPEED Étoile: 10/10
This is my favorite anime, I had 0 interest in racing going into this but it managed to get me hooked onto the racing aspects of the show. But more importantly, all the girls are so cute especially Towa and the racesuits look so good on them, Fujima Takuya really cooked with the designs and the end cards. One thing I wished would've happened was Hikari and Akari singing in the background throughout all the races rather than just a snippet of it before the race in the first episode. Also pulled 3* best girl Towa first multi in the mobile game actually winning.

Himitsu no AiPri: 10/10
This is literally the best anime that will ever exist, so happy to have weekly pretty series episodes again. I love all the characters so much, Tsumugi being close to my favorite but is triumphed by Mitsuki. She is so perfect, from her voice to her personality, everything about her is just so lovable, also her figure in the Miracle Moon Buzzlume coord in her iconic side profile pose goes crazy. All the songs are amazing too, especially the group songs, my favorites would be UNBEATABLE DUO ENERGY and Stand Get Up. Love the Pmarusama opening and the ending illustrations are so cute.

Kami wa Game ni Ueteiru.: 7/10
Mid overall but the opening and Ouroboros were very cool.

Konosuba S3: 8/10
Feels like it fell off compared to the previous seasons and Megumin's spin off. It got better in the last Darkness arc tho

Mahouka S3: 6/10
This fell off so hard it was so boring also that ending was so garbage it just decided to suddenly end after all that mid buildup.

Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: 10/10
The Demon King Hymn No. 6: Neighbor carried this entire season, became an idol anime fr. Also Arcana is adorable.

Nijiyon S2: 9/10
Those couple of fully animated character scenes were so good.

One Room, Hiatari Futsuu, Tenshi-tsuki.: 9/10
Very cute, love Lilishka's fangs

Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau: 10/10
This was the first manga I rated a 10, I think I caught up right before the Shiho backstory stuff occurred and never bothered to go back and continue. The first episode was great, but then it just started going downhill, the quality of the art and animation, inconsistencies in the environment, and the amount of content that was skipped. I heard this was pushed for release prematurely and that's also why the last 2 episodes are just indefinitely put on hold but what made me rate this a 10 was Shiho. Loved her backstory and her ending song, her voice is really nice.

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote: 10/10
Well at least they openly declared this as yuri bait instead of leaving it up in the air if anything. Love their interactions and Yuuhi is adorable. Would be cool if they release a special OVA for Phantom's story like what Cue! did I think or some other seiyuu anime.

Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?: 8/10
Cute, would be cool if there would be a follow up season for the return trip.

The iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors: 10/10
Going into the HOKAGO CLIMAX GIRLS episode, Rinze had always been my favorite Shiny Colorer for many years now, but after learning more about them, Kaho now gaps everyone no diff. The hero show live was one of the best things I've ever watched in my entire life and I could easily say that it was the best thing I've experienced this year. I've never seen a center shine this brightly before the way Kaho did. I loved the way how all the other members accentuated Kaho's more defined and intense movements that wasn't present in the game's MV and her overflowing energy that filled up my entire world and more. You could really feel how much she enjoyed being there, it was impossible for me to take my eyes off her. I also love her outfit so much, loosely wearing one side of her jacket over a half tucked in school uniformesque top, the frilly chain, and all the different colors that fit her perfectly. I have watched this performance for hundred of times now and my love for Kaho has kept increasing without any signs of stopping. Kaho really solidified this as my favorite anime. However the final episode felt like it could be better, there wasn't anything wrong with it and I really enjoyed it but compared to Million Live's final episode there wasn't that spark that lit up in me during the live. Really excited for next season cuz of Asahi and Fuyuko and also Midnight parade! it sounds so good and their cyalume costumes look amazing.

Wonderful Precure!: 10/10
I think Lillian's design is the prettiest out of all the pretty cures out there, her eyes are so beautiful and mesmerizing and the tinge of eyeshadow enhances her allure by magnitudes. All the colors match each other so well and bring out what they couldn't by themselves. I really like her look during her transformation with her hair down and adorning her fluttering sundress. The story of the Tanabata episode was amazing and I loved how since then Mayu has gotten a lot more comfortable with her group and started to tease Satoru, hopefully we get to see some real romance bloom for once.

Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai: 10/10
Every episode felt like a movie especially the first couple, sad that it's another yuri bait though. Love the music video endings they had and the only thing I wanted was this to have more of a dark and depressing ending where they never recover from the drama arc, I feel like that would've been a lot better than that mid final episode, honestly the Sunflower Dolls performance was the highlight of that.

(Winter 2024 anime SPOILERS)

Anime of the Season: Classroom of the Elite S3

Best Girl of the Season: Sakayanagi Arisu

7th Time Loop: 8/10
Alchemist Rishe in the OP is so adorable.

Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: 9/10
I love Yumiella she's so cool, never expected her romance with Patrick to go anywhere but that was a pleasant surprise. The OP is bangin too.

Cardfight!! Vanguard: Divinez: 7/10
Started watching this mainly because VWP sings the OP. The actual show was a bit boring though, wished that Mikoto would've idoled.

Classroom of the Elite S3: 10/10
This season finally pushed me to read the light novels, made it to y1v11 at the time of the final episode. I cannot believe they skipped the T-Rex arc in the training camp. Unfortunately I had to go through the pain of being spoilt the ending for the season where Ayanokoji got together with Kei but those sources have now been dealt with accordingly. I'm very excited to read more about Ayanokoji's new relationship and what Arisu would do from here as well as the new White Room student transferring in year 2.

Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi: 9/10
The Masayoshi cameo in ep 11 was so cool.

Enjou Bokumetsu! Mahou Shoujo Aiko: 5/10
The final arc was quite cool.

Gekai Elise: 8/10
Didn't expect myself to like this this much, got quite interested in the surgeries too. Wish it had more romance however.

Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu: 8/10
I thought that this was going to get really repetitive and boring quickly during the first few episodes and thought it would've been better with short episodes but I was proven quite wrong. This was very cute and wholesome.

Hirogaru Sky! Precure: 10/10
My favorite Precure season by a long shot. Sora is one of my favorite characters of all time, I love her shoutings and constant energy and the amazing job her seiyuu did to make her so easy to empathize with. Dark Sky was honestly the best character design I've ever had the privilege of being bestowed upon. Besides the manuscript markings that were accidentally left in, that entire sequence with Dark Sky was one of my favorite scenes out of every anime I've seen. Juxtaposing the emotional last cry of "It's Hero Time!" by Sora, the final episode's insert song and final fight were truly a spectacle for both the ears and eyes. During the farewell scene, I strongly believe that it was intentional that they included Sora saying that she had held hands with Mashiro 142 times before, and proceeding to hold them once again; 143 being code for "I love you". Finally in the end card, it was shown that they had exchanged their hair ties. They definitely became a thing.

Idol Land Pripara: 10/10
It's actually finally over. I remember back when this first aired, it was quite funny that the game kept getting delayed for years only for it to perform horribly and it kept going on maintenance every few seconds. I'm really sad that this was only 13 episodes, really hoping that there is some continuation considering the ending hinting at something more but it's been a few months since the final episode dropped and there has been no news unfortunately. Forever praying for it. Would love to see more of Amari after I got quite attached to her after the final episodes. I'm happy that Yui was the main focus point of the plot since she's my favorite character but I was also sad that I wasn't able to watch her perform until the final episode which made it much more emotional, kinda wished she had a solo performance and sung Tick Tock Magical Idol Time too as that is my favorite song. Fuwari's live prior to that where she annoyed Hibiki with her gobi lyrics was hilarious. The whole Amari vs Mario arc was so cool, loved both their songs and the fight they had. Their getting along and fusing together to save Yui was so touching. Pololo was also adorable, loved her live with Amari but I wished she would've had a solo live as well. I'm really hoping for more content but at least we have himitsu no aipri now.

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun 2nd Stage: 8/10
I liked Fuuka the most but I'm still sad that Aoi wasn't the one that was chosen.

Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari: 8/10
I've always known about Saphir from seeing images of her for many years now but I didn't know it was from this series so seeing her in the OP got me really excited for her debut. She's so cool and honestly the highlight of this anime for me.

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto: 10/10
The dance in the final episode was so beautiful hopefully some romance blooms next season.

Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete: 10/10
Love the wide range of different fetishes every episode but the one that far peaked above the rest was the debut of the fanged idol, Loco. The ED being sung by the cast is also really cool.

Mato Seihei no Slave: 9/10
Very cool, love the rewards. Excited to see more of Shikoku next season she's so cool.

Modaete yo, Adam-kun: 8/10
The ED was cool I wonder if this was the first time AI art was used in an anime.

Momochi-san Chi no Ayakashi Ouji: 7/10
Quite boring but the romance was cool, final ep fireworks kiss goes hard. Wished that there was more interactions with Kasha though, things were unfinished with him.

Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru: 10/10
Love the enemies to lovers trope so much and this was a great example of it. Really hoping for a sequel.

Saijaku Tamer: 8/10
So cute.

Saikyou Tank no Meikyuu Kouryaku: 8/10
Luna and Nin and Amon are so cute, the yuri sisters are also so cool.

Sasaki to Pii-chan: 9/10
All the girls are so cute love the artstyle but Futari Shizuka is carrying she's so cool. Sad there wasn't much on the neighbor girl she's so cool hopefully she is the main focus of the next season. Agupon ED was cool too.

Sokushi Cheat: 8/10
Cool OP MC, everything was very straightforward and resolved almost instantly, the romance was very cool too.

Top 5 OP
1. Cardfight!! Vanguard: Divinez' Kirifuda
2. Akuyaku Reijou Level 99's LOVE or HATE?
3. Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete's My dream girls
4. Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru's Otowa
5. Saijaku Tamer's Hate no Nai Tabi

Top 5 ED
1. Cardfight!! Vanguard: Divinez' Ryouyoku no Brilliance
2. Akuyaku Reijou Level 99's Suki ga Levechi
3. Classroom of the Elite S3's Konse Daikakumei
4. Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete's Togetoge Sadistic
5. Sokushi Cheat's Haze

the best part of Precure All Stars Movie F was when Cure Sky said It's Precure Time! and Precured all over everyone

(Fall 2023 anime SPOILERS)
Anime as a whole has peaked this season.

Anime of the Season: The iDOLM@STER Million Live!

Best Girl of the Season: Kitasan Black

16bit Sensation: Another Layer: 9/10
cute, love Konoha's voice

Arknights: Touin Kiro: 9/10
FrostNova idol ep was insane

Dr. Stone: New World Part 2: 8/10
it aight, hopefully the why man guy is actually a vocaloid like one of the guys said when they were listening to the synthetic voice thing playing on repeat and it has an idol ending.

Goblin Slayer II: 8/10
cool stuff, op is insane

Hikikomari Kyuuketsuki no Monmon: 10/10
I've been wanting to read this ln for so long but then the adaptation got announced so I never got about to it but this was so cool. Komari is already like a 10/10 character and in addition to that she is voiced by Tomoriru who has a 10/10 voice. The OP is actually so insane as well idol segment + sung by fripSide and the ED sung by Tomoriru, like this just has everything. The last episode was kinda eh though like everything was resolved so quickly also when Komari was handed the mic by the journalist that was literally the perfect opportunity for her to idol like it lined up perfectly like in the OP where she is being cheered on and has a mic, would've been an insane final fight sequence if that happened. Also cool play on words in the title where it includes Komari's name.

Hirogaru Sky! Precure: 10/10
i liked that in the recent few episodes it focuses on Sora and Mashiro as the main characters, love seeing them together. really sad that this is ending soon.

Houkago Shounen Hanako-kun: 8/10
cute

Hoshikuzu Telepath: 9/10
very cute, Matataki is so cool

Hyakkano: 10/10
It's insane how every frame throughout this entire anime is crafted so intricately and there is never a moment where it doesn't look amazing. All the girls are so cute with Karane being my favorite by far. A few new girls were teased in the ending and they seem quite interesting as well, excited for the next season. Hoping for 98 more seasons to come.

Idol Land PriPara: 10/10
wow the yearly episode dropped, watched it raw but managed to understand it more or less. cool beach episode and cool lives.

Kanojo mo Kanojo Season 2: 9/10
Shino winning so hard she's my favorite.

Kibou no Chikara: Otona Precure '23: 8/10
The entire season was pretty mid until the last 2 eps, basically when Cure Black and Cure White appeared. Wish we got to see them in civilian form too, from the artwork honoka looks so cool. Hopefully the ending with the littered can means that there will be some sort of sequel happening.

KimiZero: 9/10
so cool and cute

Kizuna no Allele Season 2: 8/10
The ending was so lame they just teased the first few seconds of the mirAI wave! live at the VGAs and then instantly roll the credits I wanted it to at leasst play in the back. Also really wished it didn't conclude so suddenly but rather have another season where they performed at the VGAs and tried for the Lapin D'or award. They need to put all that superchat money to good use here. But other than that BRT5, VICONIQ, and PathTLive's songs for their battle were so cool. Also Jua is like the best thing ever.

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto: 10/10
Maomao's so pretty and cute and I love her personality and attitude, and on top of that she is voiced by Aoi Yuuki which just makes her even more perfect.

Rail Romanesque 2: 8/10
Very cute especially Kaniko and Torako, and very nice sounds made both by them and the environment.

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - Kanketsu-hen: 8/10
the final song was very cool

Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu Season 2: 7/10
Season 1 was better, this entire season was quite boring honestly but the ending was kinda cool but rushed.

Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai: 9/10
so cool shary is cute, love how the poor animation at the end of the last episode made it look like riselia and regina kissed.

Spy x Family Season 2: 9/10
cool stuff

Tearmoon Empire: 10/10
I've been wanting to read this light novel for so long but never got about to doing so. I couldn't ask for a better seiyuu to voice Mia, I love Sumipe and the OP is like the best thing ever.

The iDOLM@STER Million Live!: 10/10
Every episode has been nothing but pure bliss, ever since July 2020 when this was announced I've been so excited for this to air, time flew by so quickly since then and now it's all over. I don't think that anything will ever top this and it will permanently stay as my #1 anime. Tsubasa's Rocket Star solo was so amazing I love her overflowing energy and voice and her smile so bright that it could light up my whole world. Episode 12. The entire past week I've done nothing but look forward to this episode, thinking about it every day until the day finally arrived. I've never been happier, this is easily my favorite episode in all of anime. Every song and the visuals are all amazing and I almost collapsed when Tsumugi performed Ruriiro Kingyo to Hanashoubu as it is my favorite iDOLM@STER song and honestly just in general. I'm so happy that it wasn't a short and cut off version like Arisa's Chou↑Genki Show☆Idol ch@ng! from a few songs before, which is also another one of my favorite songs. Everything about Tsumugi's performance was just perfect I am still in awe after an hour with my smile that can't seem to fade away. And at the end, Team 8th's REFRAIN REL@TION was just the golden cherry on top, ending the live with one of the best performances I've seen, with all the idols filling up the entire theater together with the fans. Only thing I wished would've happened was them performing UNION!!. But even so, this is just a perfect 10/10, no other anime could ever compare to this. Also back when this anime was announced, I made a comment hoping that Shiny Colors would get an anime too and it happened, now I will be wishing against all odds and hoping that this gets a Season 2. The stars are shining. The show goes on.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 3: 10/10
By far my favorite season of the franchise, I love Kitasan and Diamond's relationship and interactions with each other. Every race gives off this intensity and immersion no other anime could offer. I did kind of spoil myself of the ending by looking at Kitasan's race history irl but honestly that did not affect how I felt throughout the season. Episode 11 was so insane, I love Cheval Grand so much, also the switch to her saying that she wouldn't lose compared to the usual of Kitasan saying it was so cool. That race got me so emotional it was executed so well and she finally showed a genuine smile. The last episode was amazing, besides the dominant victory from Kitasan and the overwhelming support from all her fans, the winning live is finally shown, and it was one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Ignoring Queens Ring, I loved Kitasan and Cheval Grand's interaction on the stage when Kitasan teased kissing Cheval Grand and she got all embarassed and hid herself under her cap. The gap of seeing Cheval Grand's joyful expression and constant smile throughout the live was something that warmed my entire body up. The choreography was incredible as well, it felt like a never-ending stream of resplendence and invigoration being blasted into all five of my senses during every frame of the live. Also Mejiro McQueen in the ED looks so good. I'm really excited for the Beginning of a New Era movie as Manhattan Cafe is one of my favorite horsegirls and I'm excited to see what is next in a potential 4th season.

Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou.: 10/10
This was one of the first light novels I've read and used to be my favorite ln, didn't really feel like picking this up at first but after listening to the op and ed I decided to. But I'm glad I did cuz I love the story. Serizawa Yuu did an amazing job as Rae with them matching each others' energy. I was worried that the scales arc was going to be adapted poorly and condensed since I remember another important event concurrently happening with the moon and one of the princes or something in the light novel but I might be remembering incorrectly. Hopefully there will be a season 2 as it peaks in the revolution arc and then it becomes bad afterwards.
