Season 3 (9.8/10) ~ Season 4 (9.9/10)
Yes, the ratings are true, your eyes do not deceive you. This show has some of the most complex and fascinating story-telling you'll ever get to witness. From the root aspect of animation to the soundtracks, it's perfect. You can call it an exaggeration but for me, personally, this is the Masterpiece of my generation. I think there's no need for further explanation for why this is my favorite since i've already disclosed everything in my "Attack on Titan Countdown" list. Check it out if you want.

This one holds a special place for me. From the amazing characters, splendid smooth machine CGI, themes, world-building, story-telling and finally the soundtracks. Both ending credits, "Hands up to the sky" & "Avid" composed by the legendary Hiruyuki Sawano. Then, Kohta Yamamoto's peak OSTs. This show reaches greatness in almost every aspects.

Imagine being a 3rd favorite anime after a single season. Yeah, that's what VS is. Live-action level historic story, characterization of Askellad. One of the most original story I've ever seen. And some epic soundtracks that'll keep you on track. Both OPs are amazing and so is are the EDs. Some terrific characters and insane world-building.

The number one anime as per MyAnimeList. Story, world-building (particularly), humour and coherent soundtracks. Then, the characters, Roy and Ed are just amazing. This was my 4th anime, i guess.

But I can't say the same about it's successor, Steins;Gate 0, despite being entertaining or despite having some better episodes than the Og series. Ngl, at first i thought the narrative is Time Travel, but my head hurt trying to fix all the details in the right way. Despite being really complex & having some plot holes, this show is exceptional. Terrific concepts & thought-provoking. Animation is smooth. Likable characters. Originality, mystery-atmosphere, great VA. Okabe and Kurisu are iconic.

Animation, very good but not perfect nor mind-boggling, just very good. OSTs, whoever composed this deserves a raise. Engaging af. The story, the depth, characterization of David, Maine (They should've given him more development seeing as he's one of the best character in the series) and ofc LUCY. One of my favorite anime females. Watched in dub to hear the swearing, lol. Great voice acting. Tanjiro's dub VA voices David, heard PAPENBROOK's voice in one of the episodes, lol. It was so recognisable. Then, Giancarlo! Loved this.

DN is unique just like the ones up above. It is unlike typical anime. Intensity of each actions are really superb. It is thought-provoking. Also, some scenes, imo were terrifying. As you can see, the writing is on another level. I agree the N-arc was a kinda let down. I need to read the manga.

It feels like a cinematic experience! The emotional depth, story, adventure, soundtrack, pacing, OP & animation are peak at its best. One of the most unique and intriguing plot i've got to experience. The main OST, "Memory of the Flow" is a masterpiece and one of the best piece of music i've ever heard.

I was just re-watching this and and there was a major spike in my rating. Went from 8.5→8.7. Believe me, that's a peak rating in my list. This show is something else, honestly. The literal character development, incredible visuals and chills-giving soundtracks, breath-taking voice acting (Yui) and last but not least the amount of depth, both emotional & titular character's is so terrific. I'm grateful for the existence of this show. Best character designs, animations & background detailing ever.

Season 3 (9/10)
The best rom-com I've seen. The concept of love is taken to the extreme level here and it's done in a hilarious way. The voice-acting, characters, animation, and character depth are a highlight, for me. It's funny, relatable and original. The character depth of most of 'em are fantastic, particularly of Ishigami.

Those OPs & credits & Gojou (Infinite void intensifies). I feel like in none of my list have i said much about Jujutsu Kaisen. It's not because i don't like it, naught comes up. The characters are superb. Again, i find it silly like DS. Still i love this show so much. Maybe, because Gojo's in it. One of my fav. character.
Opinions on S2 :
Everything involving Gojo was just perfect. This whole story surrounds that man. His fate in S2 was done exceptionally well which makes it my favorite episode of the series. Now, everything else, I guess Akutami Gege wanted to even out the power-ratio between Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits because he made one man which is Gojo the most powerful character and all the villains very over-powered. They're so OP that you'd just give up cheering the good guys to keep fighting. In that perspective, S1 was way better.

The first season however, I wouldn't call it exceptional because the plot is nowhere near as intense as the upcoming chapters. Still, credit where it's due. Mappa did an outstanding work here, terrific blending of CGI with 2d. Then a superb OP and really good EDs. (Favorite - 3rd). Episode 8 was an incredible adaptation exceeding my expectations.

"Love's Sadness" is a prime example. Kousei's struggle towards closure is done properly, it's emotional and cinematic. Romance is also good. Wasn't really a fan of Kaori at first but the finale made me like her plenty more. The animation, music, character designs are top-tier. There were some uneventful episodes and repetitive scenes which made the series drag a bit. Nevertheless, an amazing anime.

8.8 - Hand in hand - StarsMamoru MiyanoJ. Michael TatumMonica RialMad scientist Okabe struggles to recover from past failure and tests a new artificial intelligence(8.5/10) - Weaker on re-watch. Nowhere near OG S;G in terms of story, emotion, entertainment and pacing. S;G 0 wasn't that great at first. It was pretty average at best. Except for the spectacular episode "Dual of Antinomy". But it really made up for that amazing final few episodes. Last 8, to be precise. Tbh, it felt like the real story started at the later half of the show, from E16. It was since E16, I had that feeling that i was watching the OG Steins;Gate. Also, there were many plot-holes. The entire Kagari sub-plot was utterly pointless and didn't add anything to the story.
And what's confusing is that why doesn't anybody remember Kurisu? They are still in the beta world-line where they all knew Kurisu and Okabe didn't alter the world-line. Only difference is that he chose not save Kurisu for the second time. But after the time-skip, except for Okabe, nobody remembers her. And how did that girl who fainted along with Okabe had the same kind of dream as him? (Edit : My fault, it's already stated everyone has reading Steiner even if its just a little). Who are Kagari's real parents, she looks like Kurisu, maybe in a world-line Kurisu and Okabe are married and she is their child? Some stuff are really confusing. Maybe, I'm looking at it all wrong or I'm dumb, which I think is the case or this series is just that weak of writing. Dual of Antinomy ending is still confusing for me. I have go dig on reddit, I guess. Tbh, the need of this series was unnecessary, nevertheless a great ride if you're familiar with the characters and world.

His wife and daughter have secrets of their own, and all three must strive to keep together.(8.5/10) - Spy x Family is actually a really good anime. If someone says it's bad, then they have no taste in identifying quality anime from shit anime. The most intriguing aspect about this show is it's set-up. It's a Cat and Mouse type story. And lately, I got a Breaking Bad vibe like Yuri is Hank and Loid is Walt. Another interesting thing is Anya. She is just terrific. The animation and designs are real smooth and eye-candy. And personally, the ED is outstanding!!

Almost every episode was gold with plenty of comedy, heart, drama and romance. Incredibly likable characters. Like, seriously, if you'd ask me to choose my favorite characters, I'm gonna have to go with all of 'em. The manga is pretty popular, maybe I'll read it someday.

I love how how the writer gave each characters considerable screentime. The writing doesn't feel simplistic in any way. Dialogues are bold. The chemistry between the 2 central charcaters are insane. I need to re-watch this because I couldn't really follow the exact story because it felt a bit complex with all the science stuff. But honestly, I like complexity. It tends to keep my mind occupied. The mature talk is hilarious. The MC is unlike typical ones, I really like him. His character is deep and feels original. With all that being said, I'm not a fan of these character designs. I got confused several times 'cuz some face looks identical to each other. And then there's Mai-san!!!! She is gold.
Edit :
Rating went down from 8.7 to 8.5. The story follows the same pattern and now the new "Puberty Syndrome" feels clichèd suddenly. Only my opinion. And the anime's name is purely taken out of context since the content doesn't even revolves around anything to a "bunny costume girl" except for the pilot ep.

An ordinary schoolboy befriends her and helps her to open up and talk with people.(8.3/10) - Season 1 (8.1/10) ~ Season 2 (8.3/10)
I think I'm in love with Komi. The fact that Komi's VA is the same as Kaguya's makes me so happy (even though she doesn't have any talking, her reaction sounds itself are amazing). Aoi Kaga's voice acting is one of the best I've heard in anime so far. It's really entertaining. But I can't say there's anything special. For a Slice of Life anime, this is amazing and worth the time.
Edit : Season 2
Wow. This is getting amazing each episode. The character development of Komi is outstanding. With hilarious & solid characters such as Tadano, Najimi, Yamai and great character designs and animation, I'm loving this show. Might read the manga soon.

Saitama is fuckin' awesome and hilarious. This is my first time watching superhero anime and I'm lovin' it. The animation is very good. Although the monster-of-the-week pattern is getting more, the thrilling action and comedy kept me occupied. Love the dynamic between Saitama and Genos. Season 2's animation wasn't all that bad. What's bad is the constant usage of shiny & blurry fx in action scenes and unsuitable sound fx for fast-action scenes. While i agree S2 felt filler-like, i understand it's for the expansion of the story. Lacked Saitama significantly. If anyone's to blame for that, it's the writer.

Season 3 (8.4/10)
DS is pretty mid in story, character development, and lacks in other aspects too but it all takes a back seat when the animation is displayed. That's what make this anime watchable. The fact that I gave this an 8+ rating is because despite the lacking in almost all aspects that's makes a series good, I think this was enjoyable with characters making you laugh constantly. It was Mugen Train movie that's made me like this even more.

At least not frequently. There's no 'dere tropes used. Marin really outdid herself by becoming the best waifu of the winter. Nice crisp animation, as always, from CloverWorks and terrific character designs from the mangaka. And with amazing voice acting and comedy, this was an entertaining ride.

It's over the top comedy, but was genuinely funny. The dumb things Iori and Kohei come up with are the best. A great comedic duo. The facial exaggeration is very hilarious in this show and I used to be not a huge fan of that, tbh. And to an extend, I think this anime is helpful to real sea divers, if what they are showing in this are real. I wanted to give this a score of 7 to 7.5 but it feels like a little less when they've given me a huge amount of wholesome comedic content. Nothing special, but a good comedy anime.

Season 1 (7.3/10) - Season 2 (7.7/10) - Season 3 (8/10)
I still can't stop thinking about this anime. Feel very bad for Yui. Gotta watch another action anime or something (definitely not another rom, cause it always ends up in a bittersweet situation and honestly that's the worst feeling for me 'cuz it makes me all emotional, I'm ashamed to admit (Your Lie in April, Iwt eat your pancreas)and also to move on from this or else this will eat me from inside.
After thinking about it as a whole, this might be the most complex/tightly written romance/slice of life I've watched so far.
Edit right after completing 3 seasons : Welp, I spoke too soon. It took long enough but it was definitely worth it ending the 3rd season with an absolutely stunning finale. Plus, I gotta say, the animation in S2 and S3 (which was done by feel studio unlike the 1st which was Brain's Base) was some of the best I've ever seen on a slice of life/romance anime. The use of rotoscoping although sometimes a bit weird was very good. The improvement in character designs from S1 was also highly notable and again I can't praise the animators of feel enough, man. Movie quality! I still have my issues with the show. The drama is just too damn much and I hate it. This is the most dramatic slice of life I've seen so far and maybe one of the most dramatic anime. And there are some characters I really hate such as Haruno, who is irredeemable in my eyes and Hayato (yeah, I really dislike him too). Overall pacing was very slow, sometimes dragging the plot. Well, there was no real plot 'cause this is SoL. Anyways, I enjoyed it for the most part and I've grown to love the MCs. All of 'em. Hikki, Yukino, Yui and Iroha.
Post S1 thoughts :
- Where's romance? Where's comedy? This felt empty. I used to love slice of life but seeing the same stuff repeated with different characters is so infuriating now. S3 is said to be the best. So I'm gonna try it. I wanted to like the MC as he is very relatable but it feels like he's been sidelined in almost every episode which doesn't elicit any feeling to his character, imo. Then Yukino, Yui, both generic. Couldn't connect with this slice of life like the others. Nothing to keep me hooked. Komi can't communicate had Komi, Horimiya had great comedy. Love is War is peak in every aspect.
