KONO OTO TOMARE

This is one of those animes that will make you love this form of animated media all over again.

GENRE:-

Music, Slice of life, and Romance all draped in a shoujo manga melody.

EPISODE COUNT:-

A total of 26 episodes is divided into two seasons with 13 episodes each.

THE STORY:-

So this anime has several characters with each one having their backstory which has been delved quite deep into throughout the anime. 

The anime starts with the backstory of the koto club president Takezo Kurata a high school junior and how his only hopes of saving the dying club rely on his performance in the multi-club presentation for the freshmen. 

The first to join the club is the former delinquent Chika Kudo who was also the prime suspect in the assault of his grandfather, though it is more or less clear he was falsely accused, the ghosts of his past continue to haunt him. He also helps in driving out the philistine students who made the koto clubroom their hideout and made the whole room a mess, a series of incidents follow wherein Kurata and Takezo end up gaining a sense of mutual respect and understanding.

The next to join the club is the koto genius Satowa Hozuki, who at first has an attitude that would come off to others as being high and mighty but throughout the story, she mellows down.

Next to join are Chika's three friends Saneyasu Adachi, Michitaka Sakai, Kota Mizuhara

 who have been with him since middle school(their backgrounds are explicated in the second season).

The final character to join the club in the anime is Hiro Kurusu who at first tries to create an internal rift between the members but later turns into an unreplaceable member of the group. 

We also have two club instructors Akira Dojima and Suzuka Takinami each of them having their unique attributes.

CONCLUSION:-

This is a must-watch anime in the slice of life genre, it clearly explains how much effort and determination is required to make a high school level classical music club going.

 From the methods of introducing beginners to instrumental music to forming melodies that synchronise with both the masterful players and the complete novices such that the flavour of the entire group as a whole comes off as nothing less than succulent, this anime has it all.

To top all these it also has done a great job in beautifully portraying the relationships be it adolescent friendships, love, or vindictiveness between the vast multitude of characters that appear in the anime.

Also, lest I forget, it has been animated and sound engineered to perfection.

A solid 9/10 from my side.

                 THE DEVIL

              IS A

       PART TIMER

To being with this definitely sounds like a fantasy anime with lot of isekai or atleast that's what I thought when I was going to watch it but i was in for a very pleasant surprise.

The story starts of in a different world and starts of at a slow pace. It is however rather intriguing and develops into a more enjoyable show.There a lot of places where unpredictable things happen which would capture ur attention and keep u captivated.

The story continues showing us how the devil and his associates take to life in earth . As the devil takes up a part time job and aims to be a successful employee his past keeps coming back to haunt him. The story is all through seamless with no real plot holes.After a while u cant just get enough of this show

The series all thought though is very comical and is easily one of the animes I enjoyed having witty cracks and some grt fighting sequences with absolutely no fillers. Overall all of u should watch it when u get time and it's a pretty enjoyable anime.

Hello fellow weebs , 

Now most of you out there must know all those mainstream anime like fairy tail, my hero academia , one punch man (sorry if I didn't include your favourite ^^) so I'm gonna write about this very underrated anime which I feel deserves way more credit

 

Bakuman

It's the story of mashiro moritaka who initially aspired to be a manga artist but gave him due to a harsh reality check , later he meets akito takagi who rekindles his passion and they work towards their dream of getting an anime production which is way more difficult than we think

It has a very good plot and the quality doesn't significantly drop among the 3 seasons, it gives us a good look into the life's of the manga artists who we love and keep anime going on

The romance element makes you feel light and fluffy and not to mention the waifus are cute as hell

All in all its an amazing anime that deserves more recognition and I hope you give it a shot

SEASONAL(12EP) - RECOMENDATION SERIES #1

                     COMEDY

OOSU! How's it been going people? This is my first series post.

Today I am gonna suggest some comedy animes that will spring you back to life even when everything seems lost and hopeless.

1)Daily Lives Of High School Boys

This anime is one of the legends in the genre of comedy. It's widely accepted to be the funniest anime after OPM. The reason for it's success is that it's based in the horribly realistic world and it delivers some non intentional and cringy jokes. In the very first episode one of the characters ask if anyone would even watch an anime without mecha or super high doses of romance. The answer , well you will know it as soon as you finish the 1st episode.

P.S=> don't miss the ending song ^_^

2)The Devil is a Part-Timer!

Call it a reverse isekai if you want to , but this anime is one of the only animes that can rival KONOSUBA in terms of comedy. The demon lord Satan retreats to modern day Tokyo after being defeated(almost ) by one of the heroes. Whether its the part time jobs or the fights with Lucifer everything about this anime is either tense in a funny way or or... just plain funny.

    It would have been a pretty mediocre plot if the story was only about this, but guess what the hero Emilia also reaches modern day Tokyo and instead of fighting the demon lord becomes his ally(mikata).

3)Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

As one of my kouhais rightly said this anime is one which tries to turn into a romance driven plebian anime but everytime that happens it reverts back to serious serious comedy. Its set in a school which has adopted the beasts summoning software to
ensure that the students do their best in studies ( well that was supposed to be the actual plot). But who cares abt that, the actual funny part is that of akihisa being a 'baka' and dealing with the tsunderes around him( well this is what I hear everyone say).

If you ask me personally nothing beats (musturinni and his cam shots ) Hideyoshi and his cross dressing .
