(Spanish review on my list)
To be honest... I didn't quite grasp it as well as I thought I would. It’s a cult classic with a very dedicated fanbase, and works I love—like *NieR*—drew inspiration from this cybernetic world...
But... I didn't fully connect with it. Maybe it was because I watched it on the bus, or simply because I don't like doing "homework" or overthinking the shows I watch; there was just so much data and information I was missing that I needed to really enjoy the series.
I do understand the overall narrative—watching the protagonist go through various stages: from being a nobody to becoming someone
...
strong, skilled, and capable; moving through despair and powerlessness to finally reach enlightenment... It’s just that I think you need a taste for philosophy to really enjoy the show...
It’s not bad... not at all... though I haven't seen the adaptation from years ago, which is apparently much darker (and not as faithful to the original manga). Anyway... if you enjoy philosophy, sci-fi stories where minds are transformed into mere data, and a pretty messed-up world, then this anime is for you..
But if, like me, you don't have much time and are just watching it casually... you'll probably get lost in that sea of information

Mongol history is rarely discussed; there is hardly any information or media adapting it. While it might be better known in China or that part of the world, little is known about it on this side of the pond (the Americas). Personally, I only knew that the Mongols were a barbaric nomadic tribe with a few great conquerors—like Attila the Hun, the "Scourge of God"—and I had perhaps heard the name Genghis Khan, but not much else.
*Jadugar: The Witch of Mongolia* adapts or interprets these rarely told historical events—or works with the limited information available. Based on the little I know
...
of Mongol history, this anime effectively portrays the socioeconomic and cultural landscape of those times and regions. It does so through a story that unfolds in a way that makes you grow fond of the characters; they all feel human. Even our protagonist is vulnerable—she makes mistakes and struggles to move forward, and she is deeply affected by the events around her—which makes the show entertaining and enjoyable.
The animation is unconventional; it avoids anime clichés like cutesy art styles or "kawaii" expressions, nor does it sexualize any characters. It doesn't force a romance or sugarcoat the cruelties and "misdeeds" of the past. For someone saturated with Western stories and clichés, this is a truly rewarding experience.
I appreciated that, even though the culture of the time was patriarchal and positions of power were held by men, the story focuses on the Witches of Mongolia. The women here possess strength—they recognize it and pull the strings to advance their own interests without ever seeming "lesser." In fact, they carry the entire narrative; no one is judged by gender or age, but rather by their worth and capabilities.
Another thing I really liked is that the story doesn't try to downplay or hide events that *did* actually happen in the Islamic world and those Mongol regions at the time. From the little research I’ve done, studies show that the treatment of "slaves" in those places differed from the cruelty and injustice we typically associate with the term. Apparently, a "slave" in those regions and eras was more like a full-time worker or a close family member who lived in close proximity to their "masters"—sort of like a modern-day employee with a permanent contract, haha. So, you just have to put things in context to really enjoy the story.
On the downside, it doesn't have a proper ending; it feels unfinished and—truth be told—very short, as if nothing actually happened. Even though years fly by within the narrative, for the protagonist, it feels like "nothing" has really occurred during that time...
All that's left is to hope for more seasons and keep supporting Fatima/Sitara in her quest for revenge against the empire that took everything from her.

While I recommend this anime because I genuinely enjoyed it, I have to clarify that it's not what one might expect. It has several flaws: very little drama, very slow pacing, and a not-very-romantic romance. But now I'll explain why, despite these details, I enjoyed it:
The animation is good. I enjoyed it and loved how the entire anime had a blurred frame, as if everything were seen from a "memory," which I liked because it made you see the perspective of the "replica" and that the experiences weren't really hers.
Throughout the entire anime, I kept reading comments about the "original" protagonist
...
being a miserable wretch, selfish, the villain, and other derogatory things. But to put it in context, we're talking about a teenager who had NEVER faced any problems in her life. She wasn't spoiled or selfish; she was just socially inept because she'd never had to deal with the consequences of her actions. She was full of fears and insecurities, and her attitude was perfectly normal, especially considering she was a TEENAGER... I mean, come on, WE ALL make mistakes, and we're all idiots during that period of our lives.
I can't expect much romance from them, as the series revolves around two Replicas (which are later explained as a "feeling" or "characteristic" of the original that detached from their body). So, one base emotion is in love with another base emotion... in this case, "kindness" with "courage." This explains why they lack other emotions or why they feel so different, because we're talking about separate entities who, lacking other feelings, don't quite know how to express them.
The pacing and drama feel slow because basically the entire series revolves around the originals regaining their feelings for each other, one learning to be kind, and the other finding the courage to face life... you can't ask for more, especially since (we're back to the same point) they're teenagers. Don't expect intense drama from high school kids... I know anime has hurt us a lot, and there are many great stories about high school kids, but usually it's because they think or act like adults... here, kids are just being kids and living with what their limited life experience has given them... even more so in the case of the replicas, who lack any other feelings...
Maybe it's because I liked the doppelganger theme, maybe it's because I overanalyzed why things happened and because I'm looking for excuses to defend it, maybe it's because I watched it on my way home from work and it made my commute more enjoyable, which gives it extra points... but I don't think it's all bad, and the fact that it's a well-rounded story with a happy yet bittersweet and somewhat open ending also earns it many points. A 13-episode story that takes its time and tells its story directly is always much more enjoyable than an anime with over 1,000 episodes that never ends or tells a clear story.
I mean, it's not the best anime ever, but it's not bad at all.

This anime isn't for everyone... it's not a pretty anime, it's not easy to understand, it's not made for enjoyment, much less for passing the time, it's not an anime that presents things in a simplified or easily understood way, it's not an anime with a story it wants to tell... this is definitely not an anime that's pleasant to watch or for all audiences.
There are three types of audiences who will watch this anime:
1. Average people, you and I, normal people with normal lives, whom life has treated well and who don't have serious or psychological problems, and are just
...
living life one step at a time. This anime will be difficult for us to watch; it won't resonate with us, nor will it deal with pleasant themes or topics we experience, much less ones we can identify with.
2. People with psychological, social, or emotional issues in their lives, experiencing difficulties or problems addressed in this anime... This anime can either help these people see they're not alone and offer them comfort, or it can ultimately plunge them deeper into their misery. The constant stream of conversations and jumps around without providing a digestible way to process the topics it covers might just make them feel worse. (I mean, I can't vouch for this; I'm not an extrovert, I don't interact with many people, and I certainly haven't done any field research on what I'm talking about. I'm just making assumptions from the comfort of my screen.)
3. Influencers, public figures, or people in the mass media called the INTERNET—these are the people for whom this anime was made and for whom it is highly intended... You and I, average otaku, aren't going to identify with it because we don't experience everything that comes with being a public figure: the stress, the psychological pressure, the euphoria, and the need to satisfy an audience that will never be satisfied. It's the environment that pushes you to consume certain substances or do certain things, sometimes for ease, sometimes for attention, other times because it's the only way to stay "sane" in that ruthless world... For everyone growing up in that world of fame, for everyone who has sunk or who has ever tried or dreamed of dedicating themselves to this... this is the anime for those kinds of people. It's that dark side that we all know exists but that few dare to talk about, and that people in similar situations probably need to address.
Needy Girl is a controversial anime, but that's what makes it good. I don't think it aims to be a popular anime, nor does it strive to be flashy, but I do believe it can be an anime that helps someone in need. The final message is what gives this anime a satisfying conclusion. There are infinite possibilities in our lives. While the anime does have a "happy ending," it does so because that's what it wants us to have. This same anime tells you that everything could have ended much worse at many points. Everything can go wrong in our lives, but within all those infinite possibilities, we can be happy. We can't change the world, we can't disconnect from the internet, but we can decide how it will affect us and we can try to move forward day by day, with the help of our loved ones and with the support of what we do.
You don't need to be famous, you don't need to stand out, you don't need money, fame, popularity, or charisma... you just need to give your best every day and be at peace with who you are and what you do, connect with the people around you, and lean on those who love you... ultimately, within all these infinite possibilities, you are happy in more than one.
What are you doing to make that possibility a reality?

Hmmmm, to be honest, I expected more... It's not a bad anime, not at all, but it has several flaws that prevented me from enjoying it.
First, the good:
- Beautiful animation
- Original story outside of all the conventional tropes, where the seasons are governed by people with seasonal powers
- Established and logical system of government for managing these four unusual people with powers
- Traumas that actually change people
...
And the bad:
- They dwell on the same thing TOO MUCH. Each episode focuses on the life of a specific character, their feelings, and how they experienced or were traumatized by the same event, but it was already mentioned in previous episodes, so they just delve deeper and rehash the trauma you already know.
- The enemies, despite being well-established organizations, don't have well-formulated plans and end up being nothing more than simple, isolated attacks without impact.
- The rest of the world seems not to exist. Despite presenting a globalized era with smartphones, NOTHING is mentioned about other countries or regions, which bothers me.
- In the end, all the trauma and heartbreaking backstories of all the characters are resolved in a final episode where they all reunite and capture the villain, who was portrayed as super overpowered and heartless, in a matter of seconds...
- The main villain doesn't act with the coldness he was initially depicted with.
To elaborate a bit:
It has so many plot holes that prevented me from enjoying it as I should have, and the length is excessive for what it actually tells... Easily, in the format of a movie, by cutting unnecessary scenes and moments, they could have told the same story with more impact...
It's not bad at all. The story it tries to tell and the messages it conveys about overcoming adversity and love are beautiful. I really liked the region's political system, and I quite liked how they control these four characters with powers, preventing them from becoming weapons of destruction and keeping them young before evil grows within them. It has some very well-done aspects, but they could have made better use of the time or perhaps condensed that entire "arc" into 4 or 5 episodes and used the time to explain what happened next, expand the world to other nations, or tell a different story altogether... but oh well... details...
I recommend it because it's an unusual story these days and a good way to break away from the usual Isekai and generic anime.
But I don't recommend it if you have other stories with better reviews or something better to watch... in the end, it wasn't the sad, emotional, and moving story I was expecting.

This anime has MANY good things about it:
- Excellent animation
- A heartbreaking beginning
- A very digestible political/war plot
- Main characters who are NOT the direct focus
- Very easy-to-like secondary characters
- Various enemies with very well-developed personalities, and in some cases, you even empathize with them
...
- Raw and where you know nothing is certain
- A very peculiar way of animating war scenes and political discussions
- A well-constructed world that doesn't just say "it was born unknown in ancient times without technology," it presents a futuristic world... but a dystopian future where war set everyone back technologically, which I really liked.
As for bad points:
- It doesn't end
- If you don't like reading and somewhat understanding political plots, it WILL be tedious because politics is very important here
- There are supposed to be 3 factions, but one of them isn't introduced until the end (although I understand it's just an introductory season)
In summary:
-A very good, experimental, and unusual series with a well-constructed political plot that has much more potential, but it's divided into seasons, and who knows if they'll ever finish it. If we "fantasize" and you told me, "This is where it ends, all the protagonists die in the end, and the lesson is that no matter how talented you are, a pig in power will trip you up and prevent you from advancing," I would have given the series a 10/10. But it still has much to tell, and for now, I'll just give it an 8/10, hoping that one day we'll see more of this dystopian, war-torn Japan.

Review where I discuss the ENTIRE Dr. Stone series as a whole, not just its final season:
Dr. Stone is an uneven Shonen anime, where the central focus is NOT on fighting. While there are conflicts and action, the core isn't directly about people with powers facing off against bad guys; it's an educational Shonen about the restoration of society.
At the beginning of the series, the pacing is somewhat "slow," and the scientific explanations about the development or manufacture of objects are much more digestible and understandable. You do learn a certain amount about the manufacturing process, but as the science progresses
...
and the terminology becomes more complex, they offer express explanations and very rarely pause to allow you, as the viewer, to understand how they manufactured one object or another. Towards the end of the series, they pick up speed and simply show you a map illustrating the different things they manufacture, without dwelling on explanations they know you won't understand.
Regarding the conflicts they present... they're okay, they're not boring, but depending on why you're drawn to the series, one arc or another might be a bit tedious. If you're here 100% for the scientific explanations, this isn't the series for you, since it's still a shonen anime where they have to cram in teenage action fights where nobody dies just to grab attention with lights and colors.
And that would basically be my "complaint": that being a shonen, there are no deaths... that within the conflicts they introduced, they could easily have had two or three deaths, and it would have been simple without the "immortality" that Medusa offers (which isn't really immortality, but you get the idea).
And that's about it. It's not a wow series either; there aren't many emotions involved. It never made me cry or laugh out loud. It was just there... entertaining and a good way to pass the time, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression and will be forgotten over time. A good series, original in its style, but not excellent.
As for the ending, I think it was decent. It gave me a satisfactory explanation of how it all started, and it didn't feel forced at all. Maybe for most people it's unsatisfying because there wasn't a "fight," but for me it was fine. In this science fiction world (with almost no fiction) that suggests things are resolved more through charisma and dialogue, it makes sense to me, although that's more typical of seinen series. I understand that in a shonen series, it can feel like "something" is missing.

The Legendary Tae Yamada Arc, Number Zero
Franchouchou's Favorite Zombie Idol
and honestly, I don't know how a zombie idol movie that's ridiculous enough to throw aliens in out of nowhere can be so damn good...
It's not just a comedy anime film,
it's also a really good "Independence Day" style alien movie.
And it's also a promotional ad to boost tourism in Saga Prefecture, Japan.
And it's also an idol story with beautiful dramatic twists and turns and pretty good songs.
And to top it all off, it has a beautiful, not entirely rosy, ending where you do feel a bit of sadness, even though it was
...
somewhat predictable, the ending still hurt a little...
I really have no complaints... I really like Zombieland Saga; it's how a comedy/idol/zombie/satire anime should be... it doesn't disappoint within its eccentricity....
Perhaps my problem is that We don't have any more of this anime, and they're already world-class idols... there's not much more they can squeeze out of this anime....

I'm not going to say much about the Dragon Maids movie because there's really not much to say. It's an arc about Kana, the Dragon Loli, with incredible animation and a touching story, as long as you have absent parents, hahaha.
And to be totally honest, this movie, or rather this arc, is entirely designed to make you feel hurt or to help you forgive your parents... but if you have a good relationship with your family, the "emotional" scenes don't really have any impact. Maybe I lack a little empathy, but it didn't affect me at all.
The overall story, as it
...
unfolds, is passable. It has its share of strategy and "losses," it's funny, it has its plot holes, but it's still a comedy series, so it's fine. It's not like I'm looking for a masterpiece in this anime; it's a movie that entertains well and fulfills its purpose, so all good... if you like Kobayashi's anime or if you happen to have an absent parent, you'll love this movie, hahaha.

The chicken anime that was a hit in Latin America—the creator probably intended to make absurd and ridiculous scenes at the beginning of the series, but unconsciously created a show that Latin culture identifies with. Apparently, we Latinos are absurd...
Well, that's my theory, BUT aside from a few jokes, absurd things, and the Latin love for fighting chickens, the anime isn't all that great. The story isn't particularly good... the lore isn't especially clever, and it has plot holes in every episode...
It's one of those comfort anime to watch without thinking too much. It's about watching it without expecting anything masterful...
...
it's not bad... it's just there, starting slowly, resolving conflicts regularly with the power of the script and a Latin humor that's rarely seen in anime.
So, as the clown from Malcolm in the Middle says: "Kid, it's an anime about fighting chickens, 'Kokekokko/Quiquiriqui' or go to hell."
