Review speedrun!!!!!!
This time, I am covering these shows:
I took a long time doing this part... so some shows might seem like they were written in a hurry. Unfortunately, not having time means coming back to one part of the post a few times a week... and that means the thoughts and goals in writing are not always clear.
Still, I will try to make it as clean as possible.

Gakkou no Yuurei
I talked about this show in
this part
of Wrap-Up, and I remember loving it. I did have mixed feelings, but
mostly I decided it was fun and good quality for the year it was made
in.

This time, it wasn't the same. The anime had live-action scenes, and I
have to admit it was cringe. Extremely. Half of the stories weren't
scary, but they were sad. Another half was tinted with the live action
scenes... so overall, the second episode was more of a miss than it was
a good experience.

They still were interesting though, the stories itself. So you know, I
am sticking to this and hoping for more to come.
6/10.

Hibike! Euphonium
(Sound! Euphonium)
Hibike! is another popular series, from the hands of
Kyoto Animation. And it shows. The art style is very
smooth, and the boys from this show are really just a copy
paste. But I am not complaining, because I find them
incredibly hot.
This one is a story of Kumiko, a girl playing in a wind
ensemble. She has her worries, past relationships that need
saving and a difficult relationship with her instrument,
"eupho".
Not to mention, with a club this big, it is not easy to
dodge other problems - members quitting, crying, going
through tough times. Hiding secrets, putting on a second
face and of course, there are love triangles too.
Highschool life, like any other.
Art and animation are beautiful, the characters are not
much... but from the very start is a decent show. What I
care the most about is music - since it's one of the genres,
I have high hopes.
And thankfully for me, I love the pieces they chose, I love
the sound of it... and the ending is such a bop, I am
living.
Another thing I appreciated was the commercial break screens
- when they showed an instrument, it's name, who played and
*how* it sounds in the background. That was cool.
AND AND AND. It has a plus size character that is just
a regular everyday normal human being.
Chef's kiss.

Unexpectedly, there is much more drama that there seemed to be. Emotions regarding practising, emotions regarding wanting to make it to the band, feeling sad for those who didn't make it, facing their own crushed dreams and hopes... It's been a wild ride in the last few episodes.
And we got yuri baited, unfortunately.
I also finished a special that followed and it did bait me into wanting to watch more... so all in due time... 😏
Hibike! is a solid 7/10 , but it stepped up and showed some strong sides, so it climbed up to 8/10.

Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu.
(Komi Can’t Communicate)
(Komi Can’t Communicate)
Komi Can't Communicate was a huge boom back when it was
airing, and while the second season didn't get that much hype,
it is still considered one of the most popular shows of it's
season.
And that's where my problem lies, as usual.
The show itself is not bad. It has interesting characters, that
are playful - we have an obsessed yandere, childhood friend of
everyone, a good guy with funny past and a popular girl that has
that one weird thing about her, that's completely crazy about
her first friend - said guy.
However, where my problem is, is the pacing of the anime. I
found myself bored by all those short stories told in one single
episode, because there really wasn't anything to keep my
interest high. In 5 minutes, it was all over and they moved on
something completely different - in time, space, setting... It
just had no clear line.
Komi is adorable, and I will finish the second season as
well, because it's not bad... but don't expect too much of this
show, because it cannot give you much.
Update: The second season didn't bring anything new, so it was
simply boring. Still a good show, just not worth the hype. I
don't think.

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen
(Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc)
(Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc)
Did you ever wonder who the Hashira are? Why they look so different to the other Demon Slayers? Did you ever wonder how to become one? Or what kind of training they go through?
Well, wonder no more, because this season of Kimetsu no Yaiba is going to give you at least some answers. But also... so many new questions.
Another amazing season with slightly stupid writing that is more than worth your time.
9/10

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
(The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)
(The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)
Saiki is one of the comedy shows that you cannot believe exist... but at the same time you cannot believe that you didn't know about this sooner!
With simple art style, weird animation at times and world where whatever is possible and things change based on convenience of the main character... it creates a story that is simply perfect.
It has romance, it has stereotypes, it has bizzare-world-situations... It's perfect! And there's more than I could have guessed. How will I ever finish this??
8/10

Noroi no One Piece
Three short stories about young girls and cursed dresses. It's not breathtaking enough to keep in memory, but the satisfaction of "yeah, this was exactly what I guessed it would be" stayed with me.
I definitely recommend this, just because it's fun and looks good. 90s anime always looks good.

(Mask Danshi: This Shouldn't Lead to Love)
Yaoi. With sexy times. If
you know what that means,
you cannot go wrong with
it.

Just... be careful. It

Hinata no
Aoshigure

(Sonny Boy & Dewdrop Girl Rain in the Sunshine)
How strong is their friendship, and will they survive this awful goodbye?
10/10 adorableness, but it's not very clear and definitely not long enough.... while simultaneously being way too long.

The movie was good enough to make me consider watching more from this series. We'll see how that will go... For now, I am just happy I am done.

Another thing I am finally done with. The main series was killing me. I remember how bored I was despite having fun, which confuses me greatly. It is insane how weird all of this is.
But the movie was more than good and I think it wrapped up everything nicely.
I can imagine hundred ways of doing it better... but a thousand ways of screwing this up... so you know what? I am happy with what we got.

Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai
(Kubikiri Cycle: The Blue Savant and the Nonsense User)
This was a simulwatch with someone I absolutely adore... but it was a hard watch. While he enjoyed it to the fullest, I almost died after the first episode.
The difference in opinions? He is a huge fan of Bakemonogatari series, while I couldn't get through the first episode in neither of 5 attempts.
Let me explain.
This show promises a murder mystery. But it does in a way where logic and reason are bigger than universe itself and everything is so complicated that each character has to be five steps ahead of the other.
Some of the characters are sooo relatable... or are they? Some of the characters are suspicious. Or are they? Some of the character are significant... or are they?
What is what and who are we? What is happening in the world? Is a world even the place we know it to be? Is visual part of this show helpful or build to just confuse?
I know it sounds good. And as you read, it does work on some people. But it didn't work on me, unfortunately.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!: Take On Me
I am glad it's over.

Given: Hiiragi mix
Given is
known for
being a
heavily
psychological
dive into
minds of
young men,
that are
going
through more
than just
accepting
who they
are.
As the name
suggest, this
movie is
primarily
focused on
Hiiragi, a
childhood
friend of
Mafuyu. On
him, his
relationship
to music and
his
relationship
to Mafuyu's ex
and his very
own friend
Shizusumi, who
is also his
bandmate.
Apart
from that, we
do get small
shots of
Haruki's new
relationship,
Mafuyu's
feelings and
the future
& present
of Given - the
band. But
that's not
what's nearly
as important
as acceptance
this movie
shows.
Getting over
your own
complicated
feelings, that
you never
forgave
yourself
for... that
you have to
get over so
you can open
your arms to
the fate that
is knocking on
your doors.
It... is a
lot. But Given
is doing that
over and over
again. And I
cannot wait
for another
movie.
9/10

K-ON! Movie
I like Kyoto animation as a studio, but jesus jesus, why do they become boring after a while? It's actually hard to swallow this one, because I am a big fan of the studio, so not liking their adaptations is like stabbing myself in the back. 😂
The movie felt out of place and I was definitely disconnected from the characters. Maybe I am just getting too old for watching shows about high school girls...
