The first episode starts with scenes from the last episode and the end of the show, and you understand right away that this is the kind of show that will slowly walk you through the story to show how things get there. After that, the real opening begins, and right away you can notice good editing, camera movement, and strong composition. These are all very good signs going in. When the music hits in the first episode, it is honestly just chef’s kiss.
The fantasy world of this anime looks pretty interesting and somehow feels like a Jun Maeda-style show. The story itself is very much built around one of anime’s oldest cliches, the horrible pain and suffering of little girls.
There is not a lot of explanation when it comes to the world’s history or the main protagonist’s past and backstory.…

i feel like this show is the epitome of wasted potential, on one hand it's world building is incredible, on another it's never fully fleshed out. on one hand the progression between the heroine and the main character is incredibly natural (albeit seemed forced as ctholly's love for him seemed spontaneous) but never fleshed out due to the show juggling between the world building and relationship. however putting the contradicting story telling aside the show is quite enjoyable, it's akin to a slice of life with REALLY great soundtrack, but i just can't get the feeling that this show could have been something so great and special.

Overall summary
From storytelling prespectives, it is great at the start but I do not appreciate any form of cliffhanger in any story. I understand this anime just a promo for LN but at least put some teaser or breaker episode at the end.
Story
The story is quite good.It keeps me entertained enough untill horrible cliffhanger at the end. Thats is my only problem with the anime.
Character
Typical weak and cringey male MC that past his best time paired with OP waifus.
Art
I dont worry too much about art when it comes to anime except kid type stuff.

In short, this ‘World End’ is fantastic, and is highly recommended to watch. I would give this anime the top priority on my recommendation list.
The catastrophic background amplified the beauty of characters significantly. The hero and heroine of the anime show theri brilliant lives in the short 12 eps. The story is a simple love tragedy, however, the background intensifies the touching emotions foundmentally. It has some minor flaws in the logic of the story route, but in it, youthfulness, hardworking, love, happiness, family affection, and sacrifice, the beauties and greatness overshine stars. In the infinite darkness of the World End, the characters and their qualities enlighten the lands people stand on and the shades in people's minds. Their radiance penetrates the barriers of the h…

Start watching after, one's song? which you find on youtube randomly, and then decides to watch the show, and it was yet both a good and a bad idea.
Because, watching the first episode of this song, I already figured out what, would be the end, ''my tears said it'', but nothing can be known that it really will be.
Very fit soulful romantic drama: a beautiful and tragic love story. The design of the characters is nice, there is a bit of fan service. The story tells about cute fairy girls who are doomed to a harsh fate to be a "weapon" in the world after the apocalypse. The plot for the drama is well developed. Despite the toughness, the title envelops its own tube atmosphere. One of main character Willem unusual guy saving everyone left and right, he has weaknesses (which makes him "alive"…

A masterpiece.
It was a very complicated yet good anime.
I loved everything about it. Its story, art, characters. and the music. Man that ending song was so good. Scarborough Fair was a perfect match for that moment. It represents everything. Haven't read the LN but I think this adaption was decent for the LN. That cliffhanger though in the end got me. One of the only anime that made me emotional.
It is one of those anime that actually makes you think about life and the complex thoughts and feelings of the anime itself. The setting of fantasy always gets me even if its drama or action. In which this anime uses both genres pretty good.
And going back to the adaption from LN to Anime. I'll make a better review once I read it.

I feel like that I can't give another 10 to an emotional anime now that I have seen this...
Sukasuka is the one anime that will linger in my heart for quite some time. It is also first drama/romance anime that made me want to re-watch. It's also a hard anime to describe with words; it's really an emotional roller coaster. But if I were to describe Sukasuka in terms of more popular anime, I'd describe it as what "Violet Evergarden Should Have been", or Anohana, or Clannad or whatever.
Think of Sukasuka as an emotional movie that gets your heart into wrecks because it is comparable to, well actually better than a lot of emotional movies. It has perfect soundtracks played at the right time, with happy and sad themes to add more to the story. The soundwork for SukaSuka is one of the best, ri…

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? otherwise known as SukaSuka
So let me begin by saying that I have completely put this anime on hold after watching the first episode of it around the time it came out in April/May.
Reasons to that was the first episode was kinda not that interesting to me. About a guy with a mysterious past takes a job to look after a bunch of lolis (wow amazing right?).
Nah what I mean is that, there were too many anime at the time coming out that were highly recommended that I simply couldn't care much of SukaSuka after that, however 7 months later I continued SukaSuka and I can honestly say that I am so on another level glad that I did (literally feels bad not giving it a go the first time). Well to my surprise SukaSuka was so…

When a new anime season comes around; consumers of all tastes keep their eyes peeled for new fresh blood that can potentially have an impact on them and become a new favourite. As years have been going by it’s been getting harder and harder to spot potentially good shows as generic titles embracing the mediums current tropes are flooding the seasonal charts and no signs suggest this will stop anytime soon. So when something comes around with a premise that highlights potential, it’s understandable that people would get excited for it, especially if the source material has an existing fan base who are spreading around exhilaration for the adaptation. I am also one such consumer who looks out for potentially interesting shows that can stand out. I had my eyes peeled at an anime that I really…

I usually don't watch seasonals, moreover reviewing it the instant right after completing it, but for this occasions. I just can't help to do it. Yes, that's how "Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?" or SukaSuka has tempt me by its bewitching allure. People may meme about how studio Trigger saved anime with their originals such as Inferno Cop, Kill la Kill, and other shows. But this word comes genuinely from my heart, without any sense of irony, in which that, SukaSuka is the flawed savior of anime.
Enter Willem Kmetsch, a human survivor from the world destruction. As he met Chtholly and worked as a carekeeper on her dormitory, he learned what does it takes to be a parent figure, and the importance of family itself.

Just yesterday I ended watching this series. To be frank, before ep 1, I wouldn't give any credit to it at all, I just expected it to be another Black Bullet (I enjoyed BB by the way, but didn't like the mindset about MC), but I had to change my mind soon.
I didn't watch this series all at once, thus I got satisfied first by the first 3 episodes, but I also got tricked by them, thinking the show was a certain type of story: good, but nothing out of the ordinary.
I was wrong. Oh hell yeah I was wrong. I got really surprised by the story evolving, transforming, and ending in that way. I cried a bit, too. I'm weak to emotional stories.
Yeah, this anime is a tragedy. Prepare to cry. Try not to. Cry a lot. Keep tissues close…

First of, this kind of story is not for everyone, the audience of this story is more to the "mature" audience one. Second this story more to slice of love, this tell you about how life, how happiness mean. If you expect an action, or cliche, fanservice or moe, you go in wrong show.
This one story is one you called hidden gem
Why it called "hidden gem" because only some people can understand the meaning of this story that's why it beautiful
I just want to copy one of the quote of this show main theme song
" I don't know the meaning of life, but I know what's truly precious ~"
Story 10/10
This is probably the best mixing of romance, slice of life,tragedy story that I ever watched in my entirely life. It's tell of slice of life, happiness and love. About a man who already lost everything th…

(Please note, there are many spoilers in this review)
I typed up probably seven different openers for this review before realizing that nothing I say can possibly prepare you for what's to come. This introduction, or lack thereof, actually goes on to mimic the underlying themes of this series in more ways than one. WorldEnd (Which also goes by the incredibly long title of 'What Are You Doing At The End Of The World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?') is more than just the hyperdramatic adaptation of a light novel going by the same name, it's a story about never being prepared; it's a story about how everything in life comes and goes far too quickly for us to comprehend. But, at the same time, so much of the beauty in life can only be leeched from it due to its apparent absence in the first…

World End (aka SukaSuka) is not a bad show but it is a very unbalanced one. It has it's good moments in front and back ends, but crammed in the middle is a lot of forgettable plot and characters. Outside of the the leads, Wilhelm and Ctholly, I struggled to really even recall the names of the other characters. While there are some interesting moments with the side characters, most notably Ithea, I mostly remember the characters by either their stereotypical trope and/or hair color.
The world the show has created is really fascinating and has a lot of potential. It also has some great artwork and character designs. But all that is wasted. There are several episodes that are very much almost entirely filler and in a short 12 episode show, there is not much time to tell the narrative. A lot…

Alright, a warning: this review will involve minor spoilers, if you want to go in fresh, then I would stop reading this now, but I would argue that this spoiler will help you have a better idea of what you're getting into and will probably help you enjoy it if you choose to watch.
TL;DR Shuumatsu is an anime that tries to do a few things at once and doesn't quite succeed at any of it. While none of the elements are critical failures at an objective level, they contradict each other and create problems. If you are looking for a fluffy show with bright colours and a happy story then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a more action oriented fantasy about struggle then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a full tragedy then you will be disappointed. I think the best…

SukaSuka is set in a post-apocalyptic future where Wilhelm, the last surviving human, is brought out of an icy sleep after centuries when his kind was wiped out by supernatural beings called Beasts and he becomes a paternal figure to a number of young girls who are leprechauns, beings capable of wielding powerful magical swords that can slay the Beasts at the cost of the wielder's life force and personality for each time they fight.
In terms of plotting, the series is a mixed bag having its high and low points. Starting with the positive end, the series does a solid job with focusing on the characters of Wilheim and Ctholly, one of the leprechaun girls he develops a bond throughout the course of the series. Both have their unique struggles they are dealing with throughout the series with…

WorldEnd:What are doing at the end of the world?Are you busy?Will you save us? is quite a ride. The title is long, but don't let it deter you from watching the anime.
The story is really emotional as it goes along. It simply starts out with Willem being the last human alive after the rest dies out from a fight 500 years ago. He was apparently frozen, but that isn't shown in the show. He meets Chtholly while she is visiting Earth and they have a wonderful day together as he takes her to everything she wanted to see. He ends up accepting a job as a technical officer for the military and he assigned to a floating island in the sky to care for a group of Leprechauns, whom are faeries who can use ancient Dug Weapons to drive away the Timere monsters that attack the lands. The stuff that makes…

Did you ever get that feel of "this could be great if" while reading or watching something? This feel is exactly what this anime is about. A story with huge potential, but undermined. Undermined by the author's lack of proper writing skills. By conventions of a degenerated form of writing. And by a not so good adaptation.
This show can pass by as your average light novel adaptation with ease. Hella long title you won't remember no matter what. A cast of characters with names difficult to read or memorize. Male MC that shoves up people's ass his set of morals once in a while. MC's love interest that goes melodramatic and cry several times. Yet you can find here the tragedy of a man. A man that lost everything, and ends up in some state of suspended animation until he is awaken many years l…

When you see a title this long, it really raises the question if the creator put as much as creativity into his work as they did into the title. The original light novel is 5 volumes long while the anime adaptation is 12 episodes. So in essence, it shouldn’t be hard to adapt this into something fans can accept right? Well, that’s not entirely easy to answer as this show isn’t so easily recommendable to anyone. I will say this though, SukaSuka isn’t your typical fantasy thriller that just jumps right into the action. In fact, it’s far more than that as this series attempts to craft a tearjerking fantasy drama to reach expectations.
I have to admit, watching SukaSuka took me some time to accept the story. The first few episodes has an atmospheric feel with its world setting, characters, and…
