Rewatching this for the first time in 10 years and it's still incredible. The mind games between Light and L are peak psychological thriller.

Wholesome Perfection for the Whole Family
Review • 9/10
Spy x Family is pure joy. The premise—a spy, an assassin, and a telepath forming a fake family—could have gone dark, but instead, we got the most wholesome anime of the year. Anya is adorable and the source of endless memes. Watching Loid and Yor slowly become a real family while maintaining their secrets is heartwarming. The comedy is on point, the action when it happens is great, and the emotional moments hit. This is the perfect anime to watch with family or friends who don't usually watch anime.

The Chimera Ant Arc Alone Makes This a 10/10
Review • 10/10
Contains Spoilers
Hunter x Hunter subverts shounen expectations at every turn. The power system (Nen) is complex and strategic. Gon is an unconventional protagonist—his dark side in the Chimera Ant arc shocked me. Speaking of which, the Chimera Ant arc is the best arc in shounen anime. The pacing is deliberate, the character development is phenomenal, and Meruem's transformation from monster to human is beautiful tragedy. The narrator adds so much tension. My only gripe? We'll probably never get the Dark Continent arc animated. Hiatus x Hiatus is real.

First Half: 10/10, Second Half: 7/10
Review • 8/10
Let's be honest—the first half with L is peak psychological thriller. The cat-and-mouse game between Light and L is absolutely gripping. Every episode ends on a cliffhanger. The mind games are brilliant. But after episode 25, the quality drops significantly. The new characters don't have the same impact, and Light's plot armor becomes ridiculous. The ending is satisfying, but the journey there is much weaker. Still worth watching for the first half alone.

An Emotional Journey That Broke Me
Review • 10/10
Violet Evergarden is KyoAni's magnum opus. The animation quality is absurd—every single frame is wallpaper-worthy. But it's not just pretty; it's deeply emotional. Watching Violet learn about human emotions through writing letters is beautiful storytelling. Episodes 7 and 10 absolutely destroyed me. I was sobbing. The episodic nature works perfectly, allowing each story to breathe. If you want to feel things, watch this anime. Bring tissues.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood vs 2003 - The eternal debate
discussion
Which version do you prefer and why? Both have their strengths. Brotherhood follows the manga while 2003 has a darker tone...

Spy x Family is the wholesome content we needed
discussion
This show is pure joy. Anya is the cutest character in anime history and I will die on this hill. The spy/assassin premise could have gone dark but instead we got a heartwarming family comedy. Watching Loid and Yor slowly become a real family while hiding their identities is peak entertainment. Perfect comfort watch.

Season 1 is a Masterpiece, Season 2 is... Fine
Review • 9/10
One Punch Man season 1 is what happens when you give a passionate studio unlimited creative freedom. Madhouse's sakuga animation is some of the best ever produced. Every fight is a spectacle. The comedy works perfectly, and Saitama's deadpan reactions never get old. Then J.C.Staff took over for season 2, and the drop in quality is painful. The story is still good, but the animation doesn't do it justice. This review is for season 1 specifically—that's the 9/10 experience.

A Masterpiece That Stuck the Landing
Review • 9/10
Contains Spoilers
The final season was everything I hoped for. The reveal that there's a whole world outside the walls completely changed the story's scope. Eren's transformation from hero to anti-hero is tragic and brilliantly executed. The Marley arc added so much depth, making you sympathize with former enemies. The final battle was epic, and the ending, while controversial, felt earned. Yes, it's dark and depressing, but it's also a powerful story about cycles of hatred and the cost of freedom. Mappa did an incredible job with the animation despite the tight schedule.
