Spring 2021 Anime Review: Shadow House, To Your Eternity, 86 and Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

This is the part two of my debut episode review of My Most Anticipated Anime for Spring 2021. Last time I feel disappointed about some of my Anime not reaching my expectations on how well they will be adapted (except for Vivy). But with this second batch I'm happy that they are actually good. Well I have few concerns about some of them but I'm surprised about some of them exceeding my expectations once again. So here's what I think about them.

Shadow House

I am actually surprised about this anime, especially its genre. Seinen is a genre aiming yound adult to adult because most of it's content usually contains mature and dark scenes not suitable for childrens. If you've watched this anime you'll definitely get confused because of its characters. They looks like a character from Shoujo or Female Children types of manga/anime. The first episodes isn't that impressive that much. I can't feel the Seinen vibes that much but I have a feeling that this anime hides a dark side. It is creepy yet refreshing at the same time. I really like the animation cause it adds more creepiness to its theme. But what I love the most is the Sound Track. It's background music is the best possible choice for its theme and it's Opening and Ending songs are the best. For me, I'll rate this anime a 10/10 as it reach my expectations. It failed to impress me because it failed to give an impact in its first episode but it surprised me by how good its soundtrack is. So I'll give it a 10 for now.

Expectations Rating: 10/10

Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san

As I said in This article, I'm not expecting that much in this anime. I've seen several manga with the same genre and plot but way much better. For example Teasing Master Takagi San, Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu and Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru. So for the first episode of Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san I feel kind of negative about this anime. Yes, teasing is fun but Takagi-san or Yamada Anna aren't going that far as Nagatoro-san. This anime isn't a teasing anymore, It is clearly a bullying. I personally think that this is inappropriate especially for childrens cause they might think that what Nagatoro did is just normal. And I can't see where the Comedy Genre anywhere cause this anime isn't funny at all. Like who would laugh to someone who got bullied at all. Well to be fair, I kind of see what Nagatoro's trying to do and it's not that bad at all. But the way she makes things done is very wrong. I am actually disappointed in this one cause I expect a Takagi-san vibes but what I get is frustration. So I'll just give this anime an 8/10.

Expectations Rating: 8/10

86

To be honest the first concern I saw in this anime is the CGI quality especially in the robots. But with the first episode, I'm happy that it's actually well made. The story is a quality story. It far exceeds what I expected to be. It also greatly portrays two side of society and this analogy is a genius Idea. There are more to look forward to in this anime. The animation is not very impressive but its way better than I expected at all. The character design is purely awesome. The plot is something else too, even though I've seen this type of plot multiple times in some anime. I can feel a lot more interesting twists and happening in the future. And for now, based on what I previously expect this anime should be. I'll rate it as 15/10. The overall impact of the first episode is just perfect. This is the kind of debut episode I've been looking in Shadow House.

Expectations Rating: 15/10

Fumetsu no Anata e

I have a high expectations in this one cause I've already read the manga. And being My Most Anticipated Anime for Spring 2021 it makes me wonder what should I expect more in this anime because as a manga reader of Fumetsu no Anata e, I know what will happen in the story. But after the first episode, all I can say is Brilliant. The manga is already painful but this adaptation is very unexpected. I thought I can handle it this time but animation is really different in manga. It feels like they are really alive and got drawn into their story. The animation and voice cast in perfect as expected to Studio Bones. Yoshitoki Ōima sensei really knows how to make her readers cry starting from her work A Silent Voice. I already expected this first episode to be epic but I'm surprised that it far exceeds my expectations. The feels and emotions bring me back to the start of the story as if I never read the manga. Because of that I'll definitely give this anime a 20/10.

Expectations Rating: 20/10

This review only contains the new anime not including Moriarty the Patriot because it's a Sequel and Shaman King (2021) cause its a reboot. Maybe I'll make a separate article in this one comparing the old and new Shaman King and how well this Reboot is. But for now I'm glad that this season is clearly not bad at all. And my Top 3 is definitely Vivy, Fumetsu no Anata e and 86. I'll look forward in this 3 giving us quality entertainment in this season.
