Haikyuu!!: Karasuno Koukou VS Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou

Status :- Finished Airing
Episodes :- 10
Genre :- Sports, Drama, Comedy, School

 The best part about Haikyuu is the hype is always there from the 1st episode of season 1 to last episode of season 2. The hype in Haikyuu is beyond unreal, and the third season is the best example of this.

 If you told me a couple of years ago that an anime franchise involving high school sports would become one of my favorites in the medium, I probably would've laughed in your face. But I've come to realize that the quality of an anime goes beyond how it makes you think. How it makes you feel is just as important.


There isn’t much in the way of story this season, due mostly to its shorter run time. Being in a 5 set match is unfamiliar territory for our favorite Karasuno team, which begins to show as the series progresses. Exhaustion starts to become a factor, and for the first time I can remember in Haikyuu, players begin to tire mentally and physically. This incorporates an important aspect of playing sports, making the characters that much more relatable to someone who’s been there. We also see a culmination of the variety of new skills Karasuno’s players have been practicing come to fruition when they matter the most. Whether from Nishinora’s jump-setting or Tsukishima’s read-blocking, each player plays a pivotal role in turning the tides at one or more points during the match. The writers of Haiykuu also continue their emphasis on the backgrounds of Karasuno’s opponents throughout the match.


 Every episode had me at the edge of my seat and there were so many epic moments, i got so excited trough the whole episode, i even felt like i was part of the game. Awesome cliffhangers that left you impatient for the next episode so you guys can imagine that it was a torture for me to wait for the friday to come. A LOT of action, you could feel all of the emotion the characters were putting into it.


The animation and soundtrack is amazing, the action is powerful, and I never got bored at any point during this match. Even though I don't watch volleyball or play in real life, it does give an appreciation for the show itself if you don't take it literally. Another amazing season, can't wait until the next one!

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
