Something about it felt like Saturday morning cartoons from the early 2000s. Asatani and Nezumi were especially fun characters. I'd happily watch more if there are any.

As a fan, I appreciated being able to hear the talents' and staffs' candid thoughts on their history leading up to the Finale. I thought I was out of tears for this group. Guess not.
I did also notice plenty of questionable editing decisions, like hard cuts mid-speech.

Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Final Chapter Part 2
This felt more dramatic than the first part, in a good way. Nana's worries about her future were the most interesting part for me, I wish we could've explored that more.

BanG Dream! It's MyGO Compilation Movie Pt 2: The Melodies Within & FILM LIVE
Like the first part, I think the events covered in this movie were much better presented in the TV anime. There are some directorial decisions that don't land for me. I really enjoyed the LIVE portion though.

Initial thoughts on Winter 2026 Anime. Very excited for Frieren and Ikoku Nikki. Bottom tier is for shows I'm interested in but may binge later if people say they're good.
I'm expecting Frieren and Ikoku Nikki to be strong AOTY contenders.

I thought the Day1/2 [Cast] information for Njigasaki Boom Boom Bee live only indicated which duo songs would be performed which day. I didn't realize only half of them would be appearing on each day.

BanG Dream! It's MyGO Compilation Movie Pt 1: Spring Sunshine, Lost Cat
Loved the new Raana scenes but I highly prefer experiencing the story through the episodic season. This movie feels a lot more in-your-face, maybe due to the pacing, maybe due to some scenes being rearranged.

I started properly keeping track of anime I watched in 2020 to share with a close friend of mine. At the end of 2025, we decided to look back on all the shows we've watched since then and highlight our favorites. Here's my list.

Ranking of anime that I enjoyed in 2025, movies excluded.
Finally got around to Takopi. I wouldn't describe it as a positive experience. I'll probably never watch it again. But some say art is supposed to make you feel and no other work has made me feel the way I did watching Takopi.

Final impressions for Fall 2025 Anime.
I'm glad I stuck with Watatabe. It felt kind of meandering at first but had a gut-wrenching pay off.
Also had a great time with Cinderella Gray, Egatae, and Saihito.
Wandance had a pretty good story and likeable characters despite its questionable cg models.

Had to wait for a few late stragglers, plus a couple more days to gather my thoughts. But here's my personal tier list of Summer 2025 anime that I watched.
Favorite by a mile is Ruri Rocks. I have never seen such a grounded, but positive depiction of the scientific process in any fictional media.

Trying out a different format for my Fall 2025 anime season first impressions.
Cinderella Gray is my most anticipated. Japan Cup, here we come.
I've also already tried 1 episode of Towa no Yugure and will likely drop it.

My favorite anime is Hibike! Euphonium. All of it. A once-in-a-generation anime about growth, talent, legacy, and staying true to your principles. Jukki Hanada, Tatsuya Ishihara, the staff at KyoAni, and everyone else who worked on this created something truly historic.

This prompt should be called Least Favorite anime instead of worst, because art is subjective and worst anime is a stupid prompt.
The Promised Neverland Season 2. I have never felt so offended by an anime. How dare they.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War. I also read the other Akasaka manga that was adapted into a popular anime, but unlike that one, I enjoy both the Kaguya manga and anime.
