Kaguya-sama: The Heartfelt Rom-Com I've said this before and I'll say it again: Kaguya-sama: Love is War is my favorite anime of this season .The show is winding down to its conclusion and for this week we got to see another side to Kaguya's life.  Most of this weeks episode had the usual funny skits and moments throughout but this time we were able to get more of Kaguya's maid, Ai Hayasaka. We get to see her perspective on Kaguya's matters of love and advises her on what she should be doing even though Kaguya is too stubborn to listen. Hayasaka acts very much in place of the viewer, pointing out things that the viewer wishes they could just tell Kaguya and Shirogane. She's the voice of reason most of the time and it is very evident that she cares deeply for Kaguya's well-being with how much she puts up with Kaguya's nonsense at times.  The part that I want to discuss the most is the part that came after the ED. In this we get narration f

Rising of the Shield Hero Episode 10 Review To start, I thought this episode was good. It set up some stuff that will be happening in the future as well as stuff that will happen next episode. We got some more of the other heroes and why they aren't as great as some episodes have made them out to be.   As we get one episode closer to the second wave we see our main characters preparing for the upcoming fight. Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Filo have all upgraded their gear and have obtained new party members for the waves due to their past good deeds during the first wave. We also got a little tease at one particular figure at the end of the episode of a character from the opening that I won't get into right now. Something I want to talk about right now are things I've noticed about the anime that seem different from the manga. Some things that I like and some things that I'm not a big fan of. First off, the biggest one to me, is the change in Filo. In the manga

Captain Marvel Review Brie Larson as Captain Marvel swept into theaters today and my head is still in overdrive as to where I should start with this movie. First off, my thoughts on it are this: it was a good movie, but had its share of flaws.  I will go into as much detail as I can without spoiling anything from the movie. One of the things that I had major concerns about for this movie was surprisingly Brie Larson's performance. From the trailers alone I was not fully convinced that she was a good pick for the role and the way she delivered her lines in those trailers caused a bit of concern in me. After watching around the first 20 minutes of the movie I was satisfied with her performance. I was worried that she couldn't portray Captain Marvel's personality and characteristics well but she managed to prove me wrong at almost every turn. I still think that there could have been a better selection for the role of Carol Danvers, but Brie Larson's Oscar pedigree r

The Quintessential Quintuplets Impressions To start things off,   I really enjoyed binging this show to catch up to where it is currently.  Let me follow that by saying that I'm not really the type of person who is into anime genres like Harems and Ecchi. I've never enjoyed the over sexualization of characters for jokes and I can never seem to enjoy the character writing for Harems.  It honestly took me by a huge surprise as to how much I actually enjoyed watching this show. When I first saw this anime I didn't think much of it. It looked like a generic Ecchi Harem anime and I felt like, "Once you've seen one, you've seen them all." It was a combination of a bunch of different things that finally got me to sit down and watch this show: I started hearing a lot of good things about this anime from a lot of different sources. I saw the voice acting list for the characters on this show and realized the star studded seiyuu's that were
