Metallic Rouge
Studio: bones
Season: Winter 2024
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Metallic Rouge might have been a great show, but it didn't work out at all. With amazing visuals, mid character design and bad storyline it
makes up for the biggest disappointment and total confusion of the
season.
Science fiction is a great way to go all out on your ideas... but if your
ideas are all over the place, you really won't say anything and just
disappoint your fans.
Someone grab this universe, write a good fanfiction and give this amazing
idea a story that is deserving. Metallic Rouge could have been something,
but remains nothing.

Meiji Gekken: 1874
.jpg)
Studio: Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab
Season: Winter 2024
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am so sad that this was so bad, it makes me really upset.
Meiji Gekken had everything - historical period drama, love story,
political conspiracy...
The art was decent, the animation could be really great... But there was
another, bigger problem. If you saw Bucchigiri, read my review or got into
contact with it in any way, you know the anime sometimes overdid it with
content presented per one episode. Well, Meiji Gekken took it even
further.
With episode length moving around 30 minutes, no proper opening or
ending... each episode did a lot more than it was supposed to. Feeding us
confusing mix of three main plotlines - Shizuma looking for Sumie; Sumie's
revenge; Shuragami's conspiration - and many more smaller plots... - the anime
got lost in itself.
Watching it felt like you missed a previous season. Not knowing who the
characters were, what was their purpose or what period we're in and what the
setting is...
It was predictable in the worst way possible - that means, you weren't held
in suspense because you were either trying to understand what was going on
or you knew what would happen word after word. The ending that was supposed
to be the most heartbreaking scene you ever saw felt like a relived exhale
of authors & animators that it's finally over...
I wish I could recommend this, I wish I could say something nice about
this... but it's just not deserved.

Yubisaki to Renren
Studio: Ajiado
Season: Winter 2024
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Great romance, lovable characters and beautiful art. Yubisaki to Renren has
it all. And not only that, but it also opens eyes (of all that are watching) to the world of deaf in a softest and easiest way possible. It makes you really think about certain aspects, it makes you think about how our society is set (that being not inclusive) and I doubt anyone was bored.
The only complain I have is about Itsuomi... I disliked the main boy character, but that is not the end of the
world.
Every character has their little backstory and every character is lovable
in their own way.
While I am sure this show won't have a second season and you're all better
off reading the manga, please do it give it a shot, because it's a wonderful
experience.
