Owari no Seraph MAL Review

My synopsis: Watch extremely handsome men battle it out in an apocalyptic world where it's humans vs. vampires, a nice take on a classic situation! They're so good looking that I was honestly surprised there wasn't a josei/shoujo tag. TLDR: Ok. I actually wanted the vampires to win this one. I mean it was hard to pick sides since I liked them all so much, but I'm starting to wonder if I just want vampires to win against the human race, because I don't like most humans.  1. This anime is all about honoring the past. I feel like it's really common in reality for people to forget their pasts, and even if bad things happen, they get 'overwritten' with good memories, just like computer files. Romance exists? Watch people forget the world before the romance happened... e.g. half of my friend group. They forget about relationships/friendships the moment they have something or someone good or 'better' to replace the past completely. But not Owari no Sera...

Spy x Family MAL Review

I am in love with Loid Forger, and this review was written for straight women like myself, but anyone is welcome to read it. (I noticed others writing reviews early, so I will write mine and update it if needed). My first thought: Ohmygod. No one told me the main character [Loid] was hot! I'm stunned that friends had mentioned the series to me, but no one said he was this handsome. They should've, because I'm thirsty for hot anime boys and would've dropped everything to watch this WAY sooner. The Animaxplay synopsis is actually accurate for this one and the vibe I would describe is a combination of the following media titles - the higher number of titles you like below, the more likely you'll love Spy x Family: [ ] Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited  [ ] Gakuen Babysitters [ ] Usagi Drop [ ] Hinamatsuri [ ] Who made me a princess (manhua) [ ] Any media dealing with 'adopted daughter' premise e.g. Alice & Zoroku This anime is like if Daisuke Kambe married Su...

Hakuouki: Hekketsuroku MAL Review

Been a while since I reviewed something with such a low score, so... get your popcorn ready if you wanna read my 100% personal, biased, interpretation of dirt. Because I'll be dishing it out by the PAN.  To start - I fully enjoyed Hakuouki Season 1. Even gave it an 8/10. It's got ridiculously good looking ikemen, fighting/action, natural dialogue among characters, and a solid plot based on real historical events in Japan ... sounds like all the elements of a 素晴らしい  subarashii anime (let me be my weeb self). I loved every minute of it as much as I love my 'historical otome games.' Even if Hakuouki was mostly based on entertainment value and not actually worth much in history books, it was still a delight to watch. I was shocked I hadn't heard of such an excellent series. Then I started Season 2 (aka episode 12 - 24, some sites display the videos together), and my thoughts turned to 'ah, now I know why.' The quality, story, and characters rapidly deteriorate. ...
