My Review:

Natsume Yuujinchou is one those anime that come once in a blue moon.The anime is a very light,comedic(at times) and interesting.After watching anime like Nana,Bleach,Darker Than Black..etc ,Natsume came as very nice diversion.This very peaceful anime lightened up my heart.Most anime have the tendency to get start off well,but tend to get rather boring,stupid,immature and unrealistic towards the later episodes.Natsume an exception.The anime had a pretty average 1st episode,and I was thinking.."Well,I guess it can't get better than this".That belief proved wrong.The episodes that followed got better and better and I was at the edge of my seat.From the synopsis you would probably get the idea that it's just another anime dealing with the supernatural...well that isn't exactly the main plot of Natsume.The bond friendship developed between the characters and the characters encountered during Natsume's Journey are the primary focus of the series.The series is already in my list of my favorite anime series...You guys should consider watching it too.

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...
