Fall 2021 Anime...

I went into the last season of this year "Fall" with hope of finding new gems. Did I find that gem that I was looking for...lets see.

Anime that disappointed me...

takt op.Destiny  (A high note that went flat at times...)
I've never been so impressed with a trailer than I did with this one. I went into this hoping that it would be the perfect Anime but unfortunately certain things just dragged it down. The fighting scenes were done really well and the Animation was superb. The pacing was one of the issues I had an issue with. At times I felt it was slow when I wished it were faster but then you would have near the end feel like it was rushing when it should have took it's time. I understand that some Anime like to put the story in an non-chronological order, but sometimes it's really unnecessary and confusing. This show could have just survived with it being in a chronological order. I didn't connect to the majority of the characters in this show; I felt like it was difficult too. The MUSIC was one of the saving graces of this show. The opening song was AMAZING and the ending song sweet and lovely. The background music was also very fitting and helped with developing the fighting scenes. The ending of this show was something that I didn't quite enjoy but I do know the reason for it was this Anime was a "Prologue" of sort to the game that's "came" or "coming" out. Was it a rubbish Anime; no. It was decent but not what I was hoping and expecting. If miraculously a 2nd season ever did appear (which I doubt) I would watch it but I wouldn't expect anything more than this season.

My Rating: 4/5 Stars 
Anime Planet AVG Rating: 3.8/5 Stars

Other Anime that wasn't as good as I had hoped it to be:
I really wanted to rate this 4 1/2 or 5 but it failed to deliver what I wanted the most. Confusing at times and I wanted more...you know...love.
I rated this 4 1/2 but it was close to being 4 Stars and only just scraped by. There was moments in the show that felt stupid and weird. Although I understood the ending, it did feel a little cliché.

Moving onto the Anime that stole me away and dragged me into their world. 

Visual Prison (An underrated and under watched Anime...)
I have watched plenty of Vampire Anime. Literally just last season, I rated a Vampire Anime highly, but this one is unique. Music and Love makes this a hidden gem in my eyes. Before I go into why I loved it so much, I will admit I think this show is under watched and underrated. I love an Anime show that has unique rules or ideas when it comes to Vampire's. The unique thing in this show is a spoiler of sort, so unfortunately for you to find out; you will have to watch it. The pacing of this show was amazing and I never once thought it was being rushed or slow. I never once felt confused while watching it and via flashbacks and conversations; I learnt things as I was meant to learn them and wasn't left in the dark unnecessary. The songs sung by the cast were all amazing and written amazingly but I have to say; the music sung by "OZ" was a little more to my liking. My favourite characters have to be Ange Guiltia and it's just because they were main characters. Ange's character development was great to see and Guiltia was a massive part of it. I will say, the other two members of the band were also likeable. The opening song was sung by "OZ" which I loved and then the 1st ending sung by "Lost Eden" was good but not something I would listen to outside of the Anime and then the other ED song which we got from the other band "ECLIPSE" was better than the original ending but we only got it once. Overall I really adored this Anime and it had a fitting ending. I would watch it if there was a second season but I really don't think it's needed.

My Rating: 5/5 Stars
Anime Planet AVG Rating: 3.4/5 Stars



Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - Part II (An Anime sequel doing it's "job" well...)
I watched the first season and second season back to back, only difference being I watched Season one in English dubbed and the second season English subbed; mainly because I was too inpatient to wait for the dubbed. The first season was something I never thought I would enjoy but ended up loving it. This season continued the amazing storyline and the pace was perfect. The subjects and situations that happens in this season and the last season can be at times be emotional and dark. It really does make you question who's right or who's wrong. There were many characters in this show that I adored but the one that I did love the most was Ruijerd. I think the reason for this was how kind natured he was even if he was ruthless at times. I know he's had it hard and all that but sometimes I really despised Paul. The opening song is played while the story is told, via scenes and sceneries just like the first season and I really like how unique that is compared to having an opening sequence like any other Anime. Overall I really adored this show; and it made me go on an "Isekai" spree. Cheers. I hope more seasons are in the works as this world and characters have a lot more to give.

My Rating: 5/5 Stars
Anime Planet AVG Rating: 4.4/5 Stars
First Season Rating: 5/5 Stars
Anime Planet AVG Rating: 4.2/5 Stars

Other Anime that was amazing and was just as good or even better than I had hoped:
If it wasn't for the fact I finished the above Isekai, I would probably have this up there, talking about how AMAZING this was. Trust me when I say. this Isekai was REMARKABLE. Almost hit 5 stars. 
• Blue Period.  – 4 1/2 Stars
I went into watching this, as I heard so many good things about the Manga but holy hell did I think I would dive head first into this show. The emotions and character growths in this show has to be on one of the bests in a long time for Anime. 



Thank you for reading and I can't wait to put out more posts.
