Kaguya-sama: Love is War Episode 5 Review The only thing I can say about this anime at this point is: In a strong season of really good anime, this one might be my favorite.   With shows like Rising of the Shield Hero, Dororo, The Promised Neverland, Mob Psycho II, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, some might say I'm crazy for saying this show is my favorite. From the scores that I've seen other people post on this show I can see why most might overlook it.  The comedic moments in this show are always on point and the over-dramatization of the way the characters imagine certain events is pure hysteria. I find myself every episode laughing out loud at the situations that the characters always end up finding themselves in. The icing on the cake probably has to be the lovable and adorable Chika Fujiwara, who has risen the ranks of being one of the fan favorite female characters this anime season due to her amazing ED at the

The Promised Neverland Episode 5 Review The Promised Neverland has been one of my favorite anime this season so far. The writing is so great and the delivery of the tense moments have been amazing. I know people have categorized this show under horror  but to me it is more of a thriller . But now with that out of the way, lets get to this weeks episode. So after last weeks crazy cliff hanger of Ray being the traitor, we find out this week that Ray was actually playing both sides of the field. I really like this characterization of Ray. He's very much a character that is out for whatever benefits him the most and I like that about his character. I have never read the manga of this series and I have to fight the urge to go read ahead. I have liked the mystery and surprise factor that this show brings me every week. Back to the topic of Ray. I think with this new predicament that it adds a whole new fold into the dynamic of the group. The face animation for Ray when he w

The Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 5 Review This episode was so good. There were so many things that I liked about this episode so lets get into it.  So right off the bat I want to talk about one of the scene that we saw in the beginning of the episode. We get a shot of a woman being pampered and talking to a hooded figure outside her window. She is discussing the topic of the Shield Hero. From her looks and the way she speaks we can already tell that she is the Queen. As someone who is reading the manga, people have a lot to look forward to when it comes to the Queen.  I think that she is going to be a fast fan favorite and I'm excited to see how people react to her when she shows up. She's a very interesting character and that's about all I'll say to avoid spoiling anything. But just know that she is someone that should be looked forward to. For this episode we also got hints that Raphtalia has feelings for Naofumi. In the manga this was mo

(image source: Funimation) That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Episode 18 For this weeks episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, it was a somewhat slow episode but was used as a setup for next weeks (hopefully) epic fight with the Charybdis. Here's a quick summary: This week we saw the return of Phobio angered over the humiliation at the hands of the adorable Milim Nava. Clayman's minions trick him into becoming the vessel for the revival of the Charybdis, a legendary monster born from Veldora. On the other side of things, in the town of Rimuru, we see Treyni's sister show up to warn our lovable group of monsters about the impending doom that the Charybdis brings. All of this is to set up next week's episode for the battle against the Charybdis. Okay, so there is something that caught my attention at the end of this weeks episode. In the war room we get a conversation with Rimuru where he mentions the Demon Lord Leon Cromwell. This was
