Kind of a dumb isekai power fantasy anime, but with a twist: the MC got gender bended! The animation is impressive, but writing is meh. Although the comedic moments are okay, they do put a smile on my face. I was considering dropping this show, but for now I'll keep watching.

Dina is hella sus, would love to know what the heck is up with her.

I've seen other shows where mangaka life is touched on, but I think this is the first anime where the entire thing revolves around the life of a mangaka.

The first episode did not impress me, but the second one was such a tearjerker, and now I'm definitely invested. It's mostly a lighthearted slice of life kind of anime, but there are moments where the ugly parts of the manga industry pop up.

Also, I find the technically-not-yuri vibes of this show to be kind of odd. It doesn't take away from the story or anything, but I'm confused why it was written this way.

This is a villainess isekai show... but it's like really funny if you're into that genre. It's so meta, the metaness is collapsing in on itself.

The MC, when she was in middle school wrote a bunch of cringe fiction with cringe OCs with the idea that she'll eventually isekai into the story as the mary sue protagonist. However, she ends up reincarnated as the evil younger sister that gets killed off in the first act. And basically the whole show is about how she's trying to dodge all the death flags that are the result of her own (bad) writing.

What makes things extra hilarious is that the MC got isekaied while being an adult and is basically reliving her cringe middle school memories while trying to not get killed off. And there's no beating around the bush with the premise, there's a brief introduction, and then the story's like "alright, truck-kun, you're up!"

The OP of this show is an unexpected banger. It's not something I'd ever imagine would be made for a show like this, but I'm totally vibing.

Two mad scientists create a terminator daughter and a bunch of cute nonsense ensues. Basically: Sci X Family. Very cute show, nothing much else to say.

It's a cute anime, but also it's kind of boring? I've had my fill of this genre and the tropes that this show is full of. I'm probably not going to watch any more of it.

One Punch Woman?! Absolute cinema. I love this show so much.

The main antagonist is pretty interesting and unexpected, and I enjoy how the characterization of the bad guys is completely unforgiving. They look and act like assholes that deserve the protagonist's fists, and they eventually get it.

It's kind of hard to recommend this show because of "barely-disguised fetishes" that sometimes pop up, but I think this entire show is peak. The fight scenes are so amazing for what is not a particularly mainstream or high-budget show. And the plot and character development are quite good.

After the insanity that was S1 I could not imagine how it could be topped, but S2 legit delivered a solid continuation of the story. I don't know what will happen beyond this point, but I'm completely satisfied.

It was really interesting to learn that the animators used Unreal Engine for a lot of background shots and the CG of the fight scenes. Honestly that fact blew me away because basically nothing looked like it was done with any sort of 3D graphics, it was just good animation, period. God damn.

This show completely flew under my radar, and the only reason I picked it up was because people were raving about it. It was quite unfortunate that (mid-season) I started watching it late in the evening with work the next day. When the first episode is double length you know they are cooking.

I don't get why they titled the anime just "Clevatess" instead of the full title: "Clevatess: The King of Magical Beasts, the Baby, and the Corpse Hero." That probably would have gotten way more people to be interested instead of this being the dark horse anime of the Summer season.

I definitely recommend it. If you're looking for a solid fantasy show, this is it. Season 2 is confirmed.

It's a nice show, the animation is great, I love Monica's sentient ahoge, there's much praise I got for this show, but it kind of sucks? Source material readers say a lot of content got cut, and it sure feels like it. So many things just happen without any context. They seem interesting, but why are they happening? No clue, the anime just needs to speedrun the adaptation I guess. This should have been a 2 cour anime in my opinion.

I think this anime can be safely categorized as isekai slop, but you should give it credit for trying to be different. It's not the typical JRPG boukensha nonsense, but instead it's a 4X game (e.g. Civilization) kind of universe that the protagonist is dumped into. Nice how the side characters get a lot of individual screentime, the MC isn't always the main focus.

Atou and her silly expressions carried the show for me though. I find it amusing how much she resembles Geega (the vtuber).

KAWAII KAIWAI! The ED is so great, literally unskippable. I love how it spawned its own animation meme. My faves are probably this 2.5 Dimensional Seduction version, this Kasane Teto version, and this Hoshimiya Ichigo version.

Geology anime that looks absolutely stunning. I feel like it exists solely because Studio Bind wanted to flex their animation capabilities.

Basically Hello Kitty but with office drama? I watched all of the content available, and I do strongly recommend watching this show. Although I have to mention that it's not entirely great.

Seasons 1 through 3 are great in my opinion. Season 4 is kind of off-the-rails, but alright. Season 5 was a disappointment though. It's clear that the writers were planning on there being a 6th season, but the show got axed, so they squooshed together their material for S5 and S6, and whatever story they wanted to tell got watered down to the point of making it feel rushed. It's a shame. I would have loved to see a proper ending.

The above is related to the Netflix anime, but there are 100 mini episodes that were made before Netflix picked up the series which don't really add much to the story, but are still fun to watch if you want more Aggretsuko content.

Pretty good show in my opinion. Overall a feel-good story of a woman being treated like crap by cartoonishly evil family finding love and comfort with many kind people that become like a new family to her.

But I just have to mention... skip episode 10 if you watch it. It's so dumb, I don't understand why it was even included. Literally nothing changes in the relationship development. The whole episode was drama for the sake of drama. One important thing does happen, but it's clear what it is right at the start of episode 11.

Outside of that, there may be other flaws, but I have to recommend watching this show just for the final scene alone. It's so beautiful, and I can't not think about it when I think about this show. And also, refreshingly, the ending is an ending. The story seems to go on, but pretty much all the loose ends are tied at the end of the anime. No need to go read the LN to find out what's next unless you really want to.

I'm writing this just as I finished episode 5. Honestly I was strongly considering dropping this show at episode 3, but I've decided to power through the awkwardness. Yeah, I don't think My Awkward Senpai is particularly good. At the very least it hasn't had a strong start. I think this is like the 4th office drama kind of anime I've watched (5th if I include Shirobako), and of those I'm the least impressed with this. But it's still watchable I guess.

The art style is kind of carrying the show for me. Everyone having two-tone hairstyles (even the guys) is really neat. And Azusa's design is very cute. Even cuter is how she has a new hairstyle like every episode with her hair colours.

Right now the romance is starting to warm up, and it's very sweet tbh. I'll watch to the end probably, but don't expect a high rating.
