Maybe I am the problem, but "I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" is one of those titles that gave me a bad first impression. In my mind, this would be another one of those stereotypical love triangle romance anime that every anime season seems to spawn five of. But this anime completely surpassed my expectations and ended up being one of the strongest romance anime of Spring 2026. Not only does the anime make it very clear which direction it wants to take without turning the story into a love triangle, but the way the characters interact and communicate feels ...

Grading it as low as I ultimately had to feels horrible, but I have to be fully honest with myself here. That was not good. Actually, it was dancing on the edge of average and dull, if I am being brutally honest. I loved the beginning, but I am not going to lie, it fell off incredibly hard, and almost nothing of note happens this season. The relationship between Mahiru and Amane has kind of plateaued and has not evolved nearly as much as I wish it had. The problem is not that the relationship is stable. Plenty of great romance anime have couples who ...

There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her" already sounds like one of those anime where you know exactly what will happen just from the title, but I tried going into this one with an open mind. Truth be told, the first episode was actually rather sweet, even if it was filled with stereotypes. The isekai aspect, being an overpowered demon, and so on are all things that every anime season seems to spawn five more of, but considering I liked the first episode way more than I expected, I settled in for the long run. And now, ...

The first season of the My Hero Academia spin off "Vigilantes" took me completely by surprise and ended up being much better than I anticipated. Now the last season of the main series "My Hero Academia" ended not too long ago leaving a hole on the anime market which the second season of Vigilantes could fill. Sadly, I must admit that I was a bit let down. This sequel season ended up being much slower and more uneventful. The only two good parts were the few episodes where we saw Aizawa sensei’s backstory and seeing all the heroes and All Might in action in ...

I should preface my review by admitting that I am one hundred percent the wrong target audience. And if you liked this, I am happy for you. But, objectively speaking, I absolutely hated every single second of watching "Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You." Truth be told, I am sort of baffled that this even got a second season in the first place when the first installment was already kind of bad in my opinion. But this second season truly did its best to make my watching experience absolutely miserable. And me being the completionist that I am, I wanted to give it a ...

Every anime season features the resident trashy rom com, and in Winter 2026, "You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends!" rose to the challenge. This anime has just about every stereotype you can think of. Even the four main love interests for our MC are all character archetypes you have seen hundreds of times at this point. And the anime takes them at face value without even trying to break free from those stereotypes. To be fair, that can absolutely work sometimes, but that's not even what makes watching this anime so frustrating.

The main issue is that the main character is about ...

I think everything that needed to be said about this season has already been said, but I still feel like I need to add my voice. This season ranks among the biggest and worst disasters of a beloved anime franchise. Whoever greenlit this to be released in the state it was should honestly be ashamed. One Punch Man season 3 is not even a half baked product, it feels more like a rough draft college project that somehow got marketed as the full thing. And I really wish I was exaggerating, but I genuinely am not.

Not only is the animation absolutely disastrous, to the point ...

Wasted Potential the anime. That’s the title I would give to Towa no Yuugure. Episode 0 and the first two episodes were so interesting, they hooked me instantly. The setup was perfect for this gritty story set in a post apocalyptic world. The art style was pretty and vibrant, and it had all the tools to build into a real gem of an anime. Where did it all go so wrong?

As soon as the story gets underway, the characters go on the most random, plot hole filled side quests that make absolutely no sense and lead to nothing. Some of them are actually rather strange, ...

"Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi" ended up being a very mixed bag of an anime. While it appears to be your usual run of the mill rom com, it does have a quirky touch that helps it stand out. Yano-kun is an extremely unlucky guy who gets hurt multiple times every single day, which catches the attention of his classmate Yoshida. She makes it her mission to treat his injuries and so a relationship starts to blossom. We see them get closer as friends, which eventually leads to romantic feelings developing between them.

As the story progresses, we see Yano start to slowly open up and ...

Well. This one’s special. “The Dangers in My Heart” walks in wearing the mask of a simple rom com with a weird twist and then quietly turns into something far more intimate and affecting than expected. The early stretch is rough around the edges on purpose. Kyoutarou starts in a weird, edgy headspace that is uncomfortable to watch, and for two or three episodes I wondered what exactly I had signed up for. Then the switch flips. The show uses that awkward beginning in the first season as a bridge into a genuinely moving story and suddenly I was watching a boy crawl out of ...
