style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quirky slice-of-life romantic comedies about socially awkward people are getting their share of attention, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\"

400;\">Aharen-san wa Hakarenai<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> continues that trend in its debut episode by showcasing two of its most reserved leads: the quiet Reina Aharen and her equally stoic classmate Raidou Matsuboshi.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The animation is fairly simple and bright while the music keeps everything light-hearted to match the anime\u2019s comedic mood. However, the real charm of the anime is demonstrated in its first episode, where these two introverts try talking with each other to fit in with their class. They\u2019re doing their best to come out of their shells, even if their attempts are more comical if anything else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Raidou\u2019s emotionless expressions in comparison to Aharen\u2019s near silent voice and inability to distinguish boundaries make for peak silly comedy. Aharen often gets too close to Raidou, shown when she accidentally headbutts him or pushes a bento box in his face. Aharen even tries to warn Raidou that his fly is undone, but fails and gives him strange hints instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you like slice-of-life comedies, then this anime is going to live and die by your interest in Raidou and Aharen\u2019s daily interactions. From what we\u2019ve seen so far, the awkward interactions between these two introverts and classmates will definitely drive the rest of the series. As a fellow introvert myself, I can\u2019t wait to see how Aharen and Raidou navigate the unknowns of school life.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

The story picks up from season three, where Shidou comes across a mysterious woman on the street. Her name is Nia Honjou, who is a manga artist interested in only 2D men. Despite her preferences, she has heard about Shidou\u2019s exploits of sealing Spirits with a kiss, before revealing to be one herself. Nia then tasks Shidou and the Ratatoskr team to seal her before her powers go awry.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s interesting to see this season begin with a heroine who is more forthcoming than Shidou would\u2019ve predicted. Nia is also an older sister type who takes the lead, which makes her a different type of person than Shidou\u2019s previous Spirit dates. Her personality so far intrigues me and I anticipate the story getting meatier once we get to know her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">For the most part, the episode works as an introduction to a new arc. It strongly hints that Nia is connected to the antagonist organization of the series, DEM. We first see her being experimented on by them before being helped out by Kurumi. How she ends up meeting Shidou and why there are gaps in her memory remains to be seen, but this intrigue will no doubt hook fans of the series into future episodes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irino Nagomu, a struggling wagashi-loving musician, decides to take over his family\u2019s wagashi store after hearing about his father\u2019s health. But upon his return, he discovers that a young girl named Itsuka Yukihira, who had been abandoned at the store by her father, is now its potential successor. With that premise, I was expecting <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deaimon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s premiere to have plenty of thorny interactions, but that surprisingly was not quite the case.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">A lot of that is due to Irino being a cheery, easy-going chap who has no issues belting out a cheesy promotional song about mugwort yam buns while wearing a massive chestnut-shaped headwear. Aware that he had left of his own volition a decade ago, even if the catalyst was a (likely out-of-context) line he overheard from his late grandfather, Irino has no qualms rejoining the shop as an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>rentice and doesn\u2019t harbor negative feelings toward Itsuka. Meanwhile, Itsuka has some understandable annoyance at Irino\u2019s sudden return but doesn\u2019t go out of her way to antagonize him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I quite like how Irino is such a nice and even goofy guy, but I did feel that the low-key friction between the two leads slightly weakens the satisfaction of the premiere\u2019s bonding moments. Still, we\u2019re only one episode in so far, and I\u2019m interested in seeing what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deaimon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does with story ingredients like Irino becoming Itsuka\u2019s father figure and Itsuka being haunte<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">d by her abandonment, as well as the supporting characters. And with the delectable artwork-like backgrounds and tasty wagashi depictions, I\u2019ll be doubly sure to return in the coming weeks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

It follows a diverse group of people living in isolated societies called Clusters, where an AI system dictates everything in one\u2019s life. A team of Extractors consisting of Equa (a superhuman), Maruteese (a slime), Feles (a delinquent sharp-shooter), Ulla (a wolf man), and Alfa (a robot) are hired by individuals who want to escape a cluster and start anew somewhere else.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I enjoyed the first few episodes, as it balances some cheesy, goofy misadventures with subtle commentaries on society and the different roles people play in them. The CG animation is handled by <\/span><b>Polygon Pictures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who have a good track record of work in that category. The animation is serviceable, if not stiff and stilted at times, but isn\u2019t too distracting that you\u2019ll find any apparent flaws.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anime\u2019s out-of-the-box approach is best demonstrated by the people that hire the Extractors. Their clients so far have ranged from a disgruntled teacher to an ex-gang boss who wants to be a magical girl. However, what really sells the randomness of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ESTAB LIFE<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is episode 3, where a free-spirited talking penguin hires Equa\u2019s team to help them escape from a communist penguin regime.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ESTAB LIFE: GREAT ESCAPE <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a fun, random, and weird experience.

font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Original sports anime are nothing new to the industry, and this season is no exception. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fanfare of Adolescence <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the story of Yu Ariuma, a former idol who unexpectedly quit his rise to stardom to instead train to become a horse jockey. He bonds with quirky Shun Kazanami, a boy with a special connection to horses who comes from a far off island.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anime includes many typical sports anime elements just from the first two episodes: an athlete that doesn\u2019t quite belong with the sport, \u201cquirky\u201d teammates, some bromance, and training. In other words, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fanfare <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is predictable. However, the direction of the episodes snatched me from the jaws of boredom. The framing of the anime shifts to Yu\u2019s POV, which includes a shaky camera to depict the closeness of the wind and his breaths. It\u2019s a wonderful sensation when the scene changes through his senses while he rides a horse. This creative directional choice will need to continue throughout the rest of the series if it wants to stand out among other entries.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">There\u2019s also a big question regarding the relationship of the two protagonists. The first episode ends with Shun bridal catching Yu with sakura petals whirling around them as the two stare into each other\u2019s eyes. Does the story plan to bait, code, or explicitly show a queer relationship? I can only wait to find out, but I hope it\u2019s not another bait.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By

The concept involves people called \u201chealers\u201d who use songs to heal people, and the main cast consists of three teenage apprentice healers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kana <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the kindest, Reimi is a little obsessed with their master, and Hibiki is, er, the most ordinary. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope that future episodes flesh them out, as none of them leaves a strong imprint yet (I actually prefer the rival healer introduced in Episode 2 to Reimi and Hibiki). Despite that, they\u2019re sufficiently enjoyable to watch, especially with their expressive faces during the light-hearted or comedic moments. It also helps that the main girls have eye-catchingly bright and colorful hair, contrasting strongly with the plainer hair colors of the supporting cast, and that everyone\u2019s nicely drawn.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m not too enthusiastic about the healing aspect feeling more pseudo<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>-like instead of being magic or an esper-like power, especially when the first episode mentions terms like \u201chybrid harmony,\u201d \u201charmonic amplitude variation,\u201d and \u201cimage\u201d without really explaining or delving into its healing aspect.

thing, especially when you\u2019re a super sentai-like hero and a villain who, for some reason, looks like a grim reaper-themed dominatrix with a vaguely bunny-like hood. Luckily for Fudou Aikawa\/Red Gelato and Desumi Magahara\/Reaper Princess, <em>Love After World Domination<\/em> is a light-hearted romantic comedy. While they do need to keep their hero x villain relationship under wraps, their entanglement involves less moral-flavored conundrums and more innocent elements like hand-holding and enjoying pictures of Desumi\u2019s cat. It\u2019s still not easy though, especially when, amusingly, they have to have their dates in secret while their respective allies fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I largely enjoyed<em> Love After World Domination<\/em>\u2019s premiere, although a lot of the heavy-lifting is done by Desumi and her cuteness. Without Desumi, I\u2019d have spent more time dwelling on how Fudou\u2019s \u201clove at first sight\u201d situation is simply self-proclaimed rather than convincingly shown, the fact that Fudou somehow knows Desumi\u2019s private social media account like it\u2019s not a big deal, or how some of the special attacks during the action sequences are not a sight for sore eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Still, even if Desumi is currently the major selling point of the show for me (the workout-crazy Fudou is a bit bland), I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m also looking forward to seeing what sort of material the show can provide with the leads\u2019 respective teammates in future episodes. I\u2019m not sold on the romance itself yet, but I\u2019m certainly on board with the tokusatsu-flavored premise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By Melvyn<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Love Live!

her new life in the music course. There are also several, welcome new faces: confident Zhong Lanzhu, musical prodigy Mia Taylor, and Lanzhu\u2019s serious childhood friend, Shioriko Mifune.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the newcomers, Lanzhu has gotten the most focus so far. She admires the Nijigasaki idols, but also refuses to join their club due to differing idol philosophies. However, the original cast suspects that there\u2019s something troubling the talented idol, and in true<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nijigasaki <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fashion, they won\u2019t turn a blind eye to a fellow idol\u2019s troubles. While the first season had to largely tackle one idol per episode, the second season can afford to spend much more time on Lanzhu\u2019s situation, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing her character arc play out across multiple episodes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visually, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nijigasaki Season 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feels somewhat less polished than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Season 1<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which wasn\u2019t perfectly polished itself. I didn\u2019t find it distracting though, and I enjoyed the three-dimensional-feeling shots and cute Kasumi moments when they appeared. The premiere also provides my two favorite sequences in the series so far: an in-universe <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qskWvJMsfGo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">promotional trailer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Lanzhu\u2019s <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z2P818AAOn8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">episode-stealing performance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with the latter continuing the first season\u2019s trend of music video-inspired performances. Strong animation aside, they rank high in the cool and stylish department, and I\u2019m eager for more similar highlights.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

This set of episodes served as the viewers\u2019 introduction to our main character, Ryou Mizushima, and the supporting cast of students from the Yokohama Minato High School badminton team. While the full team has yet to be introduced, there\u2019s already enough content through potential character dynamics to keep things interesting.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The refreshing character dynamic \u2014 albeit reminiscent of other sports anime tropes \u2014 allows for great potential character development as seen with how closely Ryou and his fellow first years have grown together while still leaving some mysteries for viewers. Currently, it\u2019s unknown why Ryou was given a sport recommendation despite only demonstrating average performance \u2014 perhaps showing Ryou\u2019s potential but lack of experience. There\u2019s also Matsuda whose recommendation came from his father being acquainted with the coach, but his background of growing up in Shanghai might become a big part of his character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Overall, there\u2019s a lot left on the court for viewers to decide for themselves if this badminton anime is for them. Personally, I\u2019m excited to see how rallies will be animated and how the dynamics behind the rules of singles and doubles may lead to fun character interaction. I hope others share my enthusiasm, or at least, give this show a try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By Jon<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little ghost girl goes \u201cHnnnnnnggg\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35592\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/image17-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=720%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,404\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;via Crunchyroll&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=696%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"391\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35592 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=696%2C391&amp;ssl=1 696w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=696%2C391&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35592\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/image17-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=720%2C404&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,404\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;via Crunchyroll&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?fit=696%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=696%2C391&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image17.png?resize=696%2C391&amp;ssl=1 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>via Crunchyroll<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The titular ghost girl in<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is so cute that I think I have diabetes from all the sweetness in the premiere. That being said, that\u2019s all the anime has going for it. Episode 1 is a pretty uneven first impression that leaves a lot to be desired.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The story follows an overworked office worker named Fushihara-san who is haunted by a little ghost girl while working late. The ghost wants Fushihara to leave the office rather than slave away with overtime. Rather than leave, Fushihara can\u2019t help but be drawn to the ghost as she continues her work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">As I mentioned before, this particular episode is largely uninteresting and doesn\u2019t really stand out much. The show would have worked better as a short 3-11 minute short rather than a full-length duration. It\u2019s frustratingly slow in the worst moments and boring in the rest. The episode utilizes two perspectives in framing its story: one from Fushihara\u2019s perspective and the other from the ghost girl. While it was interesting to see the latter\u2019s side of the story that gave more context, it doesn\u2019t really become more entertaining afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite my misgivings, I still want to see more from this series because I want to believe in it. I\u2019m always down for healing anime like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Helpful Fox Senko-san<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has similar vibes. We\u2019re definitely going to see more chibi ghost girls in coming episodes, so I\u2019d expect the anime to double the cuteness and send me into an adorable \u201cAwwwww\u201d coma.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By William\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had pretty low expectations of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RPG Real Estate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because it\u2019s pretty much an ordinary slice-of-life fantasy anime featuring four cheery moe-blob characters. That\u2019s essentially what you get, and there is otherwise nothing special about this premiere. Even so, I\u2019m a huge sucker for these kinds of shows every season. I\u2019m intrigued by the anime\u2019s schtick involving the stressful, competitive, and expensive nature of real estate in a fantasy world.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RPG Real Estate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> introduces us to three other lead characters in its first episode: the ambitious Rufria, the ex-warrior Rakira, and the demi-human Fa. We later learn that Kotone will be their new colleague at their real estate agency as they assist magical clients in finding suitable homes to their liking.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to last Spring season\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dragon Goes House-Hunting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the episode highlights a variety of homes inhabited by fantastical creatures. As someone living in a densely populated metropolitan area, I wasn\u2019t surprised that these characters have difficulty finding a place to live in the big capital. For example, Kotone finds out that having a limited rent budget can land you properties like haunted houses, tight broom closets, and slime-infested rooms. I fully expect the anime to explore more of this world\u2019s unique settings in future episodes and more characters with personality.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Temper your hype for this series because there won\u2019t be any grand finale battles with a demon lord. However, if you like slice-of-life comedies that go at their own pace within a fun fantasy world, then stick around because there\u2019s definitely more to see.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

anime leaps into the second season without any hesitation from where we left off in the first. Two tsunderes by the names of Yukimura and Himuro continue to try to use science to \u201cprove\u201d they are in love when literally anyone with eyes and a single brain can tell they are. I was worried that the series would become stilted because many of the gags from the first season started to bore me near the end. Much to my surprise, the first two episodes of the new season do a great job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The production team behind <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science Fell in Love r=1-sin\u03b8 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was smart enough to actually move the main couple\u2019s relationship forward rather than hit a reset button as many of these romcom anime tend to do. The objectives have more or less changed \u2014 rather than letting science prove they are in love, they\u2019ve moved towards <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">science can define love. This is thanks to a rival scientist couple who are as opposite of the tsunderes as possible. Unfortunately, I do not like the woman in the rival couple who embodies the \u201csexy, lusty, and busty character who pushes herself on everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">However, credit must be given where credit is due, and the introduction of a couple who could care less about science proving their love and feelings is exactly what the main couple needs to push them adamantly forward. All without losing the scientific exploration that still tickles my nerdy mind in the right places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

Shikimori is very much not just a cutie, and the scenes where she transforms into a cool beauty are certainly highlights, but the first episode also has plenty of regular (but still enjoyable) high school romance and slice-of-life moments in-between, thus preventing it from becoming nothing more than a barrage of consecutive skits. All this comes with solid animation and character acting moments, and the couple\u2019s friends prove to be a rather fun bunch themselves, making the premiere a very pleasant experience overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By Melvyn<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: At the time of writing, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shikimori\u2019s Not Just A Cutie<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s production committee is deliberating on its future broadcast plans following a <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">covid outbreak at production studio Doga Kobo<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, although no changes have been announced yet.

In the end, the biggest change to Shamiko\u2019s life is that both Momo and another magical girl, Mikan, move next door to her as neighbors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second season of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Demon Girl Next Door <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continues the anime\u2019s style of quick-witted humor, slapstick, and schadenfreude for our unlucky protagonist. Both Shamiko and Momo have great chemistry together because of their differences in personality. Shamiko is loud, passionate, and earnest in her quest to take down her rival. Meanwhile, Momo is stoic, quiet, and blunt whenever she needs to be. As this episode also shows, she can get jealous and depressed. I really like how the series expands on characters like Momo, where we see her value Shamiko as a close frenemy to lean on whenever she\u2019s in a bad place.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Aside from that, the episode is fairly straightforward, and fans of the first season can ease back into the daily struggles of Shamiko\u2019s life. The series is known for its banter, cuteness, and recurring gags, with plenty of them included in the episode. My particular favorite is when Shamiko and her family receive some premium quality beef that makes a weird sound effect whenever it\u2019s in view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a season full of lighthearted comedies, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Demon Girl Next Door Season 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn\u2019t change the genre, but works on what it does best and keeps the plot relatively simple.

12pt;\">The first episode was forgettable for various reasons. First off, this series is just another power fantasy anime that revolves around a singular character whose problem is that he is unable to make any friends. The main protagonist, Ard Meteor, finds himself reborn in a world where his previous achievements have been forgotten. With newfound freedom and seemingly uncontested strength, he sets out to find at least one friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">So far, Ard\u2019s main problem is his lack of social skills. Any real conflict seems to be directed at the supporting character, Ireena, while Ard is set to be a \u201cknight in shining armor\u201d figure to ultimately become friends with Ireena. This conflict set-up could be a recurring theme in future episodes where viewers will see characters disregard Ard\u2019s help, embroil themselves in trouble, and Ard comes in to save the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The show is predictable, which is not bad for those who prefer this type of structure in shows. The character designs are generic (forgettable, even) in context of the genre, but had great combat animation. I can only recommend this show for those with low expectations for this genre and\/or for those who just want to passively watch something without paying attention to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> focuses on Leon Fou Bartfort, the titular \u201cmob,\u201d who is actually the reincarnation of a recently deceased salaryman who was forced to play the aforementioned dating sim video game by his domineering sister. Once reincarnated, he has to escape from his character\u2019s poor life situation and navigate life as just another NPC in a world of heroines and love interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The idea of being a mob character is a somewhat refreshing concept (and hasn\u2019t been as worn out as villainess and heroine reincarnation), and my experience with the manga adaptation of the light novel gave me hope for, at the very least, some visually appealing character designs. However, it appears my expectations were too high. The first episode presents subpar designs, a misanthropic MC who comes off as more grating than amusing, and a setting that tests my patience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The story wants to do too much all at once, and in its half-assed attempts to add all these \u201ctwists\u201d to the basic isekai formula, it fills itself with more internal contradictions than even the most generous suspension of disbelief can accommodate. If I had to say anything positive about the show, I\u2019d say the anime quality is faithful to that of the in-universe dating sim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial,

isekais<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and romcoms. Famed Chinese war tactician of the Three Kingdoms Era, Zhuge Liang, dies and finds himself reincarnated in modern Japan on Halloween night. He becomes an instant fan of a young woman singing in a bar and pledges his brilliant mind to help her become a successful artist in Japan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s strange, and the anime doesn\u2019t try to hide from that fact as evidenced by an incredibly creative, fun, and crazy opening theme sequence that throws you right into the atmosphere. There\u2019s a personal angle of me that loves the preposterous story surrounding a revered historical figure reincarnated to this day, but the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thing that works for me is the kindness I feel in the story and the characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhuge Liang thinks Eiko\u2019s voice is beautiful, her songs soothing, and her person admirable. He tells her that talent isn\u2019t something born without change, and he would help her nurture her talent to full potential. This only happens because Eiko showed kindness by singing a song of lost love when she saw Zhuge Liang mourning for the death of his people. As such, kindness breeds kindness and, while some people will think it\u2019s a theme overdone, I will never get enough of it. And what better way to experience that theme through an anime about an isekai\u2019d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">historical war general and modern music?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By Gracie<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Stay tuned for the next part of the Spring 2022 Anibitez!<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n                (function(d, s, id) {\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n          js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=269442613521839\";\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n        <\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
