WINTER 2019 REVIEW

Winter 2019 has been a treat for otakus all over ,with new animes as well as greats sharing an equal footing.


1) Mob Psycho 100 II


GENRE:- Supernatural , Action
Cryin my mind, cryin my psyche, cryin my heart in such common places , is that your deal, is that your mind hyaku ni wa hajimaru .
The opening keeps ringing in my mind and the scenes play in my heart literally every time  I try to focus something or heck anything.
The second season of the anime focuses on Shigeo breaking out of the dream world and coming to face himself , his powers and the reality of his life . It does have some legit good fight scenes but it focuses of development of Mob as a middle schooler than a esper. One could say that he starts accepting his powers without changing his personality.
As his spirit Dimple rightly says people do not  get defeated by Mob they  defeat their own evil selves upon listening to Mob.
Though the events before the final fight(ep 11 and 12) were kind of rushed but the 13 th episode more than makes up for it.


2) Kakegurui XX(2nd season)




GENRE- gambling, mind games and random crazy shit

OK now this is one crazy anime with a crazy MC and with an  even crazier plot. This anime is clearly beyond logic as it is clearly stated in the 10 th episode of the anime in fact it relies on actions that humans undertake due to pure unspoilt desire .In fact but the probabilities of match outcomes are not what they actually seem.

The second season is focused on the presidential elections in the campus but guess what the votes are not supposed to be put into the ballot box but they literally have to obtained by waging the voting coins in a gamble.

To brighten up the party Kirari( the current school council president) has invited the 100 branches of her gambling crazy extended family luring them in with a offer of making them the clan's leader if they manage to win the elections.
In spite of having a dozen new characters literally nobody is a match for Jabami Yumeko's craziness and quick wit . Oh and the uncensored violence?  Well that's the one thing that the director won't part with.


3)Kaguya sama: love is war




GENRE- Romance,Comedy


Though being newcomer this anime is probably the only one in the list that doesn't need an intro.

Being the most highly memed anime of the season this anime survives and thrives only because of Chika Fujiwara.
While the two Mcs are qute good and the anime has a good storyline it wouldn't have become this popular if not for chika's performance in the 3rd episode's ending song and her hilarious third wheeling in the other episodes

Coming back to the actual plot the anime is about Miyuki and Kaguya who are student council president and vice president respectively. Kaguya is an extremely talented girl and has an all rounder personality, whereas Miyuki Shirogane is topper of the class . They both are madly into each other but neither of them confess because they know that if they do so then they would have to submit to the other's demand and command and to those two insanely proud creature that would mean ultimate defeat

The only annoying part about this anime is the presence of a 2005 type narrator who is totally out of place and not needed except for maybe in the intro.
