Review ( No Spoilers )

 I have to give you an important advice: don't judge this series by the first episode. 
Because, well, when I just had started watching I felt like it wouldn't be something worth my attention. It seemed very dubious and strange. However, beginning with the second episode, affairs surely had taken unexpected turn.



Youjo Senki is a series that succeeds in portraying the “reincarnated and transported to a different world” scenario while having a unique approach on the “military” genre. 
The story is well executed and approaches the military genre from a new and unique perspective that I found really entertaining. The character cast is a “one man army” composed of Tanya, aside from her character there really aren’t any other good characters. 
The animation works in harmony with the sound department, resulting in a great watching experience that really allows the viewer to enter the show’s world.

 How would a modern day salaryman from Japan, an especially ruthless and career-focused one too, manage to survive as a little orphan girl in a war ridden world where magic exists and a being that calls himself God tries his best to make things harder for said girl?
The synopsis might sound a little messy. And honestly, Youjo Senki is an anime that I didn't plan to watch but tempted by the pretty amazing opening song, I decided to give it a try when it started airing. And I'm very glad I did.

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....

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 orig...

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...
