Synopsis

The short stories in the two volumes of Bakemonogatari deal with a high school boy named Koyomi Araragi and strange students he encounters. ("Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.) One student, a girl named Hitagi Senjōgahara, almost literally falls into his lap, only to have him discover she has no weight.

My review:
"Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.The ghosts in the story are gods or spirits(i.e oniis) who have cast their own special curses on humans resulting in supernatural effects on the humans on whom the curses are cast.Almost each episode starts and ends a story arc,as we see many characters getting introduced as the series progresses.The main plot of the story deals with
Koyomi Araragi who takes an interest in a girl whom he catches while she was falling down from the center of a spiral starircase.After catching the girl he realises that she posseses no weight!!


(That's quite a violent scene)

Episode 2 onwards we are drawn into the characters personalities and their peculiar traits,wee also learn more about the background of the main characters especially Senjohara.

(No comment on the scene above)
Episode 3 &4 takes the story to a new arc.Though most of episode 3 contains only a dialogues between the main characters(Their conversation got kind of weird and boring at times)

(Park conversation in episode 3)

Anyway here's the DDL'S for the anime

Episode 1

Relife

So, it's finally over. Relife officially ended with it's 222nd chapter.  Relife was a manga I read by accident tbh. Not in the sense that I randomly picked it up, but it in the sense that the manga turned into something completely different than what I had intended it to be. With the premise set up to guiltrip people who are in the late 20's, relife did an excellent job of this throughout. Though, there were many times the story's pacing and direction was all over the place. Not to mention the science behind the Relife experiment, which when explained was honestly borderline stupid. But, what Relife great was it's characters, and the recurring theme of regrets . This all came into place especially in the last arc of the Manga where the mangaka did a stellar job giving some excellent tear jerking moments and despairing the readers of the idea of a forbidden/unachievable romance. It was romance done right in a Manga, something that I haven't seen in a long time. ...

Saekano ( How to raise a boring girlfriend)

I tend to watch underrated Anime once in a while. There's always a hit and miss in doing so. Some turn out good, some turn out trash and some are like Saekano. Also, known as 'How to raise a boring girlfriend' , this show completely polarized my opinion of it till the end. For starters, there was forced ecchi fanservice was clearly unneeded for a show which was clearly trying to be a serious slice of life anime, but clearly what troubled me the most on the direction the show was heading. The first season for the most was mediocre, but not bad. The problem was in the second season where the show turned itself upside down, to the point I felt it lost its flavor and made me rage a bit about certain developments in the plot towards the end. One thing going good for it though was it's character development, which was really good. The show even though ended well, was pretty much really saved by the best girl of the show, who was there for MC at the end. The character developm...
