Waiting
Assassination ClassroomAnime; Manga98FinishedA pleasant blend of comedy, action, school life, and insightful moments. Especially recommended to teenagers or young adults as the main lead (Koro-sensei) gives good life advice under the whimsical premise of assassination.

The anime is slightly worse compared to the manga considering it is not a faithful adaptation. The manga does the latter half better.

(no intention of watching Movie)
Beautiful animation, Wonderful perspective and interesting exploration on what “love” means from the perspective of an emotionally child soldier.

Movie included, this rating would drop down to an 80. Movie feels like it takes away from the lead’s entire character arc.

Spice and WolfAnime; LN91S1 (2024 remake)

LN Vol. 4
OngoingAn anime / light novel where it’s fun to dissect the characters’ decisions because they are grounded in economic principles.

This is elevated by the interactions between the two main leads (Holo and Lawrence).

Lycoris RecoilAnime72S1FinishedGood character interactions. Plot is not that interesting to the point that the ongoing plot detracts from the good character interactions.
My Dress Up DarlingAnime71S1FinishedInteresting premise for a slice of life anime with the POV being centered on cosplay being unique.
Komi Can’t CommunicateAnime70S1DroppedInitially an interesting premise however it reads so much like an unrealistic self-insert. Male lead is not interesting; Female lead reads too much like a Mary Sue and her struggles with social awkwardness are handled unrealistically. Comedy does not land well and some characters are annoying on screen.
Fate Carnival PhantasmAnime65S1Dropped
Demon SlayerAnime60S1DroppedVery cool animation. Unfortunately, the animation feels like mere eye candy that hides the problems in how the characters are written (the main leads are not interesting to follow), and how the plot moves forward.
Isekai QuartetAnime58S1Dropped
Mieruko ChanAnime55S1DroppedWatched for the unique premise. Dropped when the premise itself got too old.
Shikimori is Not Just a CutieAnime45DroppedBoring premise. Main Male Lead borders on annoying.
Takt Op DestinyAnime25DroppedInitially hooked with the premise, but the second episode was a large exposition dump. It felt like a self-insert story, which I am not fond of, while at the same time the reveal at the end that the show was a giant ad for a game sours the whole show.
Re CreatorsAnime24DroppedCool premise bogged down by poor execution and too much exposition.
Girl’s Frontline The AnimeAnime5DroppedPoor adaptation. Questionable quality of animation.

Limbus CompanyGame95Ongoing
Lobotomy CorporationGame90DroppedDropped mainly because at the time I wasn’t into roguelike and restarting a lot.

But, the rating is still high for me.
Maria no DanzaiManga70OngoingStarted out with a good premise as a revenge plot. However, over time it has gotten more and more unrealistic that I am mainly continuing just to see how it ends.
BalatroGameOngoing
ArknightsGame95Ch. 10 main storyDroppedGameplay is very rich and unique. Worldbuilding and setting is phenomenal with a lot of moving entities and factions that get their turn being explored.

Despite this, I dropped the game because the storytelling itself was not appealing to me. The plot was fine, the characters were mostly fine (though they tended to sound the same), but the actual way the story was delivered leaned more on purple prose that adds unnecessary padding and makes a good chunk of it skippable.

Heart of the MachineGame60EA versionDroppedInteresting premise, but for a 4X game, the early game felt so much like a chore to do. It severely limits what you can do.

Might revisit it after a while to see how it evolves, but at the time I played it, it required more polish — simplify most of the controls and gameplay while adding depth and meaningful player choice.

First Squad: The Moment of TruthMovie65DroppedInitially it seemed like an anime about WW2 which was what hooked me in. As it turns out, the plot itself is centered around more fantasy elements than what I would’ve expected. Beyond the premise, it is pretty middling.
