Nothing special about me. I'm a (perpetually) aspiring author whose almost exclusive entertainment is anime, manga, and Japanese light novels.
The first anime I recall ever watching was Ronin Warriors on American TV in syndication circa 1996. After that was VHS rentals where I discovered Ranma 1/2, Bubblegum Crisis, Fist of the North Star, Urotsukidoji (yesway), Dirty Pair, Project A-ko, Ghost in the Shell... The list goes on. But I didn't start becoming a true hardcore fan of anime until I discovered fansubs, starting with Fruits Basket and moving on to Rurouni Kenshin, right around 2001.
My particular interests when it comes to anime are extremely broad. I'll watch just about anything. Well, except for the particularly dark shows or ones with lots of gore or gratuitous violence. Never did have much of a stomach for those. For anyone that's curious, I've compiled a Favorites list of around 100 anime that I think are essential for any "well-rounded" anime fan to have under their belt. And, of course, there is also my personal list of favorites.

Basically, a premise that shoots itself in the foot by not being easily understood or sympathized with by "Western" audiences. Don't watch this show if you can't wrap your head around the idea that a person can hire a girl to just hang out with like they were a girlfriend for an evening. If you can get past that hurdle, however, this show does provide an endless roller coaster of somewhat well-crafted almost soap-opera-esque plot points while following a single primary romance track amidst the chaos of gotcha moments, social commentary, and the typical wishy-washy male lead. This show actually has some real depth to it while also hoping that you look at the situations and laugh your ass off, not take them personally. Only for fans of this genre, broad as it is.

This show follows the "life, as it is" theme, which makes it relatively melancholic alongside the ultra-cute little girl and robotically aloof father figure. The antics teeter from humorous to tragic, the background being solidly tragic but the foreground being that soft ray of hope. Though the "story" is about a robot-like golem and the human girl he adopts, the style is that of a "journey" show like Kino no Tabi or Mushishi. Though low-key in tone and generally mellow, it has its emotional whiplashes and a little bit of action. For fans of this distinctive "type" of show, this should be a good watch. It isn't the best in the field, but it should help fill the basket.

Movie, 2019, 1 ep
A complicated yet insanely simple sort of coming of age romance. The story is basically a love polygon, and the writers did a good job of making all (well, most) of the various branches interesting, while coming to a solid conclusion. The story is nothing stellar, and when broken down to its individual parts, there's nothing earth-shattering about it, but it's still a really nice watch if you're a fan of coming of age and romance sorts of themes. As a side note, music is just an instrument here, not really a core focus. You don't have to like music to watch it as long as you can sympathize with that high school "striking it big" mentality. It plays an important part for about um... five minutes.

A nice enough little summer finding-one's-self/romance geared more toward the lower-to-mid-teens range. The overall production quality isn't going to make it a blockbuster, but it's still an enjoyable watch. For the target demographic, the messaging is pretty typical and spot-on. Don't set your expectations too high, but if you're looking for something relatively light with a 'serious' plot to watch, this one is definitely worth considering. Entertainment sometimes just needs to be entertaining, not world bending, after all.

This show is... surprisingly good. Yes, there's a decidedly real creep factor to it, but damn does it do a good job of mixing things up. The social commentary aspects of it actually do a good job of showing just how ridiculous some of the social rules we follow actually are. Meanwhile, even while catering to those "creepy old guys", it does a great job of poking fun at them. The fact that this show actually addresses the awkwardness of the circumstances makes it a fair bit better than shows that don't acknowledge that there are two sides to the circumstances. The girl's personality here works brilliantly for the show, and although the overall premise is a bit exploitative, the character isn't actually being exploited in the story. For what this show is, I think it was very well done.

The thing that this story provides is a near-perfect template presentation of the harem/romcom show. Not only is it well-produced with a decent vocal cast and script, but it's entertaining as well, and the male protagonist isn't just some random deadbeat. All of the characters are likable and have a certain depth to them. Unfortunately, this show is based off a manga that was far from complete at the time, and the manga meandered horribly before drawing to a solid conclusion, meaning that the anime is left open-ended, and although a final season is entirely justified here to tie things up, it's likely that this show will never get that conclusion. You'll have to read the manga for that. Must see for haremcom fans, and also must see for anyone that wants to immerse themselves in the broad spectrum of genres covered in anime.
