Monster (Anime) add
There are anime you enjoy while watching, and then there are anime that quietly stay in your head for weeks after finishing them. Monster was definitely the second one for me.

I started this series expecting a good psychological thriller because of how much people hype it up online, but honestly I didn’t expect it to affect me the way it did. This anime feels incredibly grounded. No exaggerated anime logic, no unnecessary fanservice, no forced drama. Everything feels human, and somehow that makes it even more disturbing.

The atmosphere is probably one of the best I’ve seen in anime. There’s this constant feeling that something is ...

I finished Season 5 a few days ago and for some reason I felt like going back and thinking about where everything started. Season 1 of Shokugeki no Souma hits very differently once you have seen the whole journey. At the time it just felt like a fun cooking anime with ridiculous food reactions. Looking back now it feels like the beginning of something much bigger.

I still remember the first episode clearly. Soma losing to his dad for the 489th time and still smiling about it immediately told me what kind of protagonist he was going to be. He is stubborn in a way that ...

I went into Mechanical Marie with pretty average expectations and honestly… that’s more or less where I landed by the end of it.

It’s a good one time watch. Enjoyable while it lasts, but not something that stayed in my head weeks later.

The basic plot is quite straightforward. Because of certain hardships (won’t spoil specifics), Marie ends up disguising herself as a mechanical robot maid to stay close to Arthur and protect him from assassination attempts. That setup itself is interesting on paper, but the show doesn’t go as deep with it as I hoped. The political danger, the tension of being discovered, the emotional weight ...

At first glance, The Inexpressive Kashiwada and the Expressive Ota clearly sits in that familiar teasing-romance space. It honestly feels like a blend of Nagatoro’s playful provocation and Teasing Master Takagi-san’s soft, everyday sweetness. But after a few episodes, it quietly becomes its own thing.

The dynamic works because it never tries too hard. Kashiwada barely reacts on the surface, yet those tiny shifts in her eyes, pauses, and micro-smiles say more than most loud anime confessions ever could. I caught myself rewinding scenes just to confirm “wait… did she just smile a little?”

Ota, on the other hand, is pure emotional chaos. His reactions feel very ...

Finally, this sweet summer 2025 anime has ended, and honestly… I’m sitting here with that quiet, warm emptiness you get when something genuinely good wraps up. Watari-kun Is About to Collapse was one of those shows I deliberately avoided while it was airing. When it first started, I remember telling myself, “Nope. Let it finish. I want to binge this properly.” Turns out, that patience really paid off.

From episode 1, let’s be real, you already know where this is heading. Watari and Satsuki are clearly that couple. No cheap bait, no unnecessary mystery about who’s endgame. And honestly? I appreciated that so much. Watching them ...

I finished Yano-kun’s Ordinary Days with that very specific feeling where you’re not disappointed, but you’re also not particularly moved. It’s like finishing a warm cup of tea that wasn’t strong enough. Pleasant, calm, but it fades quickly.

Going in, I already had a sense of what kind of anime this would be, and honestly, if you’ve watched Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie, you’ll immediately notice the similarities. This anime feels like a lighter, toned-down version of that formula. Same kind of setup, same kind of charm, just less impact. It’s not trying to reinvent anything, and it very clearly stays in its comfort zone.

One thing ...

I finished the finale movies and just sat there in silence for a long time. No phone. No rewinding. No instant reaction post. Just silence. That kind of silence you get when something has taken a permanent seat inside your chest. Attack on Titan is not just an anime I watched. It is something I lived with for years. From Season 1 all the way through Season 4, OVAs included, and now these finale movies, it feels like saying goodbye to a part of my own life.

I genuinely believe that even if someone asks me in 2070 or 2080, when ...

By the time you reach Final Season Part 2, you are no longer watching an anime about Titans. You are watching a story about power, fear, and what happens when survival itself becomes political. Having followed Attack on Titan from Season 1 through Season 3 and Final Season Part 1, this part feels like the moment where every hidden tension finally explodes.

One of the most unsettling aspects of this season is the internal collapse of Paradis itself. The enemy is no longer just outside the walls. The military takeover by the Yeagerists, the poisoning of commanders, the breakdown of trust within the ranks, all of ...

I went into Season 4 Part 1 thinking I was ready. I had seen everything before it. Season 1’s raw survival horror, Season 2’s slow burning dread, Season 3’s political awakening and that earth shattering basement reveal. I thought I understood Attack on Titan. I didn’t. Not even close.

From the very first episode, this season feels different. Not just in animation style or setting, but in its soul. The show doesn’t hold your hand anymore. It throws you into a war you don’t recognize, with characters you are not sure whether to root for or fear. And that discomfort is intentional. Brilliantly so.

By the end ...

Attack on Titan is one of those series I will be forever grateful for. It genuinely changed something inside me. A part of me never went back to how it was before, and my respect for anime as a medium grew on a completely different level. All my respect goes to Isayama. What he created here is not just a story, it is an experience that stays with you.

I have watched Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 Part 1, and then this. And I can say this without exaggeration: if you have followed the series properly till now, be prepared. Season 3 Part 2 will ...
