 Review ( No Spoiler )

 Your Name is, if anything, a classic Makoto Shinkai work. It is beautiful, both in visuals and in story. It tugs at the heartstrings, appealing to things that every viewer can identify with, either out of personal experience or out of desire to experience. But more than anything else, it leaves the audience satisfied, throughout its runtime and in its conclusion, with a story well told. Your Name handily takes its place as not just my favorite Shinkai film, but my favorite film entirely.


I never tired of the characters. They are well-developed and Shinkai does an amazing job on slowly and subtly revealing what kind of people the two main characters are. Voice actors also did an amazing job.
The plot is quite fast-paced, something I found fresh considering how calm and quiet Shinkai's movies usually are. There were moments in the movie that felt like actually music videos, and once you watch, you will understand why.


Kimi no na wa is a beautiful and incredible movie that seems to be successful in all categories; a movie which would interest even those who don't find the genre interesting. And while the plot idea may not excite some, the setting, characters, and the fantastic work of the director, Makoto Shinka, will cause you to experience a multitude of emotions.


Bittersweet, fascinating, humorous; there are too many words in the dictionary that can describe this movie for me to fit in this one review. Even if you haven't seen the works of Makoto Shinka, you will come to adore this director for his ability to bring his characters and story to life.

Whether or not you are watching the movie for enjoyment, or you find yourself more critical of the movie, this work will satisfy both. The characters are enjoyable to watch and they are charming in their own unique way, and while the supporting characters may not in the spotlight, their personalities shine as well.


Overall, this is a must watch movie from Shinkai. And for anyone relatively new to his films it would be this that I would recommend first. It is incredibly beautiful, and a true masterpiece which is what you can expect from films with a name like Makoto Shinkai. You will find yourself laughing at its humor, mystified by its remarkable art, knees shaking at its high tension scenes, and most notably you will yell 2 particular directional words at the characters as your eyes water during the climax of romance scenes.

Mob Psycho 100

Status  :-  Finished   Airing Episodes  :-  12 Genre  :- Supernatural , Action , Comedy Review ( No Spoilers ) Mob Psycho 100 is about an 8th grader psychic named Shigeo (also known as Mob) who tries his best to become a normal person by trying to fit into society. The story focuses on Mob and how he tries his best to control his powers and not cause any harm, while being in very risky situations. The story may seem a bit simplistic at first, and near the beginning it kind of is, but the series starts to get more complex and explores many themes like morality and what it means to be different. But the story just doesn’t focus on Mob, but also other characters too, like his mentor (who is a scammer) and his brother (who has an inferiority complex). At first the series has more of an episode/slice-of-life structure, but in the second half, the main story gets introduced. Mob Psycho 100 looks and feels a lot different from your normal anime. The style is very over-the-t

Status  :- Finished   Airing Episodes  :- 12 Genre  :- Action , Adventure , Comedy , Historical REVIEW (  NO SPOILERS ) This anime had me excited from the very beginning. The first episode had me craving more. I was desperate to know where it was going. The characters are astoundingly unique in personality. The whole idea of the series feels refreshing to the anime that have been released. The art is dark and sharp, which fits the feel of the anime perfectly. It's not all death, blood and guts. They make the effort to have comedic parts where they fit perfectly and give you nice little laughs. The battles in this are cool, but a lot of it is more tense army battle/strategy than cool, showy fights. The feel of uprising and war is great, you find yourself anxious, anticipating what the Drifters and other parties will do. What will be the next move? What is the point of all this and why are they here? The premise of the story is quiet original and well execut

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri ( Review ) ( No Spoiler )

Status  :- Finished   Airing Episodes  :- 12 Genre  :- Action , Horror , Fantasy The show started very well. Despite of the amount of people comparing it with AoT, the first seemed that this show would be a blast, and also would be nothing like AoT. The plot besides "group of individuals trying to survive zombie apocalypse on a train" and most of the conflict comes from compromises regarding what's necessary in order to survive, which all gets resolved relatively cleanly for the most part. The majority of the characters are fun and interesting enough, but they're mostly there to be support to the show's two main half-human/half-zombie leads: a young angry science nerd named Ikoma and a little badass, yet emotional girl named Mumei. And even then, the former mostly exists either to support the latter or just be a fighting nerd. With an anime like Koutetsujou No Kabaneri… it definitely contains a lot of action and drama. We get to explore the journ
