Besides, it might also be shocking for diehard fans of this popular series. Hence, if you’re struggling to decide whether to continue watching, here’s a Spoiler-Free RWBY Volume 4 Review for your help. Warning: Might contain minor spoilers for Volume 3.

RWBY is an American anime-style animated show created by Monty Oum and produced by Rooster Teeth. The series debuted back in July 2013 and has continued to air for eight seasons (Volumes), as of November 2020. Since its premiere, the web series has continued to impress fans and critics from all around the globe. The 12-episode fourth volume broadcasted between October 2016 and February 2017.

Synopsis

For those who don’t know, the story of the anime centers around four teenage girls, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, forming the team RWBY. In a world filled with supernatural forces, the girls train to fight shadowy creatures called Grimm.

The fourth volume lands us several months after the Fall Of Beacon while Remnant is still recovering. The previous volume had split up Team RWBY, hence each of them now faces a journey of their own. Many of them are still trying to move on from what happened in the last season. Whereas, others have will venture out into the world in search of answers. As the journeys begin, our favorite characters come across several new friends and enemies in RWBY Volume 4.

Is RWBY Volume 4 Worth The Watch?

It indeed is. Well, RWBY Volume 4 may not be the best season of the show, but it sure is an entertaining one. A lot of things have changed since the last installment, including the tone. This time, all four of the main characters had their separate journeys, hence stories. Weiss’s story was one of the strongest amongst the rest, and it was interesting to watch Ruby and Blake take the turns that they did. However, Yang’s storyline felt relatively weak as compared to the others, considering that she arguably suffered the most. The animation style and quality are still top-notch, given that it’s still produced by Rooster Teeth.

The installment introduced several new characters, out of which not many lived up to the expectations. However, some of these new characters are memorable and spice up the overall mood of the volume. On the other hand, viewers complained that the initial tone of the has changed. RWBY started off as a fun and simplistic show, but now it has become much darker than any of us expected. Well, that’s how the story is now, and even though it has changed, it’s still worth the watch. Overall, RWBY Volume 4 had its fair share of great moments that set up an exciting premise for the upcoming volume.

No, Seven Mortal Sins is not related to A-1 Pictures’ 2014 anime, Seven Deadly Sins! In fact, this ecchi anime series is far away from the standards of the popular franchise. Suiting its genre, the 2017 show is full of lewd outfits and erotic scenes. Well, a major part of its audience watched the series as a hentai anime (with a plot). Hence, if you’re wondering whether to watch it, here’s a Spoiler-Free Seven Mortal Sins Review for your help.

Seven Mortal Sins or Sin: The 7 Deadly Sins an adaptation of Hobby Japan’s media franchise The 7 Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai). Produced by Studio Artland and TNK, the 12-episode anime ran between April and July 2017. Due to its name, this anime is often related to 2014’s successful anime Seven Deadly Sins. However, these two shows (franchises) have nothing to do with each other. While A-1 Pictures’ project is a high-quality adventure and fantasy anime, the other is a low-quality ecchi yuri anime.

When Lucifer, one of God’s archangels, is cast out from heaven, it gets hard for Hell. During a short stopover on Earth, Lucifer infuses her angel’s blood with a human girl named Maria, at her high school’s church. As she falls into the depths of Hell, she becomes the target of the aspiring Demon Lord of Envy, Leviathan. After a gruesome battle against the sins, Lucifer’s angelic powers are sealed, and her wings are cut off. She manages to return to Earth and takes Maria as her follower to help her get revenge against the sins.

Is ‘Seven Mortal Sins’ Worth The Watch?

Artland and TNK’s ambitious project scored a low number on almost all rating platforms. Critic reviews were harsh, whereas the audience had mixed opinions about the show. Yet, the anime has a massive following even after years of its release. So, is Seven Mortal Sins worth watching?

Reason(s) To Watch

Well, the only positive trait of this 2017 anime is that it’s a treat for ecchi and/or yuri fans. It is mainly targeted toward the followers of this genre and serves them well until the very end. Some argue that the series can actually be pursued as softcore porn. Seven Mortal Sins is full of sexual elements from extreme nudity, ridiculously oversized breasts, several erotic scenes, animated SM, and strong sexual assault.

While many people are fond of ecchi anime, Seven Mortal Sins adds fantasy and thrill to the genre. Hence, keeping aside its faults, the anime will be a good watch for fans looking for a hot and sexual show.

Reasons To SKIP ‘Seven Mortal Sins’

Aside from its ecchi features, the story of the anime does not deserve a watch. While the series starts fine, its sexual content and over-the-top presentation get in the way of the plot. The characters have no personalities and do not contribute to the story. Aside from the extravagant breasts and sexual features of the main characters, the anime’s art and animation are average. Overall, there are better ecchi anime available to watch in the market. Hence, it’s better to skip the series if you’re watching it for the plot.

After five years of God Eater’s release, fans have started to lose hope for God Eater Season 2. As of now, anime studio Ufotable is yet to confirm the return of the anime. Similarly, the creator of the God Eater video game, Bandai Namco Entertainment, hasn’t announced the release of another sequel. However, that does not rule out the possibilities of their renewal. In fact, according to speculations, there is still hope for the anime and game both. Here’s some insight into the future of your favorite show.

Bandai Namco Entertainment’s RPG video game, God Eater, debuted on PlayStation Portable back in February 2010. In no time, the sci-fi game became immensely popular amongst Millenials and Gen Z alike. The company later released several sequels and versions of the game. God Eater 2 and 3 were launched in November 2013 and December 2018, respectively. Studio Ufotable picked up the theme for an anime adaptation that premiered midway in July 2015. After its first broadcast, fans began to anticipate a second season of the anime.

When Will God Eater 4 (Game) Come Out?

None of the companies related to the anime or game production have spoken about the sequels yet. However, that does not mean there won’t be any new installments in the future. God Eater 3 game was released in December 2018 in Japan and in February 2019 for international fans. In March 2020, Bandai Namco Ent. released the final chapter (of God Eater 3) called Traversing The Past (Episode Ein) with an update 2.50. Hence, it hasn’t been long since the completion of the third game.

Based on the game’s history, God Eater 4 (game) might take a few years to return. Most of its previous sequels were released with a gap of two or more years. Besides, such high-quality games (or versions) usually require more time to make. Thus, it’s only fair for the fourth part to launch sometime around later 2021 or 2022. Yet, the anime sequel might only get a renewal once God Eater 4 is confirmed.

Continue your journey through the past in #GODEATER 3.
The final chapter “Traversing the Past” ~Episode Ein~ is now available with update 2.50, along with a new Aragami, missions and more. pic.twitter.com/a0NtvEhlBc

God Eater Season 2 (Anime): Renewal Updates

Is there any hope?

Indeed, there is. The chances for the return of God Eater Season 2 are pretty decent. The first installment of the anime was a hit amongst audiences from all around the globe. In fact, it also received fairly positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Hence, it will be a profitable deal for Ufotable to greenlit God Eater Season 2. Even though fans are losing hope for the new season, it is likely to make an exciting comeback sometime soon.

However, most Japanese anime are released solely to promote their source material. The first season of the God Eater anime helped spike the sales of God Eater Ressurection (2015) and God Eater 3 both. Now that there are no new games releasing, the anime sequel has no purpose of release. Hence, the second season of the television show might come out sometime around the launch of God Eater 4.

What Will Be The Plot Of The Anime Sequel?

While waiting for the anime, fans have started to speculate about the plot of God Eaters Season 2. Amongst many theories, one of them has been trending amid all fans of the anime and the game. Based on reports, Lenka Utsugi might emerge as the new lead character in the upcoming installment. Now that Lindow has lost his arm while battling Aragami, the story’s focus will shift to Lenka. Yet, Lindow and Shio both are expected to return.

On the other hand, fans might get to see a brand new lead character in God Eater Season 2. While this new character has not been defined, he/she is expected to be the spotlight in the latest episodes. As of now, we can only hope for the anime to get a renewal and follow the said premise. Keep an eye on this corner for all exciting updates related to the iconic franchise.

When Will God Eater Season 2 Release?

As of now, the producers of the anime are yet to renew the sequel. Therefore, God Eater Season 2 does not have a set date for the premiere. However, as mentioned before, God Eater 4 (game) is likely to come out sometime towards late 2021 or 2022. Thus, the second season of the anime might release a few months before or after the game’s launch. Even so, a 2022 or 2023 release date seems most plausible.

Adapted from a popular light novel series, the Grimoire Of Zero anime shines due to its beautiful characters. The series turned out to be one of the best fantasy anime that features Human x Supernatural Creature pairing. Some viewers compare it to fantasy romance anime like Spice & Wolf. Whereas, many think that its presentation style is similar to 1997’s Berserk. Hence, if you’re wondering whether to watch this show, here’s a Spoiler-Free, Grimoire Of Zero Review.

Grimoire Of Zero was originally a light novel series written by Kakeru Kobashiri and illustrated by Yoshinori Shizuma. Due to its popularity, the LN was picked for an anime adaptation within a few years of its launch. Upon release in 2017, the television show received fairly positive reviews. Both critics and viewers seemed to like the plot of the story.

Based in a medieval fantasy world, the anime tells the tale of a half-man, half-beast mercenary, whose kind is threatened by notorious witches. The Beastfallen are shunned as monsters, and they only dream of becoming human. While on the run, the mercenary encounters a beautiful young and kind witch named Zero. The two of them make a deal that turns his dream into reality. Thereafter, they embark on a journey to find Zero’s lost ‘Grimoire,’ a magical tome with powerful knowledge.

Reasons To Watch Grimoire Of Zero

• Chemistry Between The Leading Couple

The beautiful chemistry between the protagonists is one of the sole reasons why you should watch this anime. Grimoire Of Zero is a treat for fans of inhuman pairing in anime. Both Zero and the mercenary are strong characters. Unlike the way she looks, Zero is mature and bold. She is also kind and naive. On the other hand, the mercenary is strong and faithful, yet, he is also shy. Both their personalities make a perfect Kawaii couple and give us many heartwarming moments.

•  The Storytelling

Being the adaptation of a famous LN series, the Grimoire Of Zero anime tells an outstanding storyline. The characters connect to the viewers, plot points are intense, and many episodes make you feel emotions. Despite having a slow pace, the overall storytelling is enjoyable. A must watch for fantasy otakus.

• Worthwhile Animation

Unlike many anime in the genre, Grimoire Of Zero sports effective animation. Studio White Fox has done a great job in animating the series. Well, the techniques aren’t unique and are similar to most fantasy anime of the decade. However, they are suitable for the setting and do justice to the story.

Will There Be A Grimoire Of Zero Season 2?

Studio White Fox is yet to announce the official renewal of the anime for the second season. However, looking at its popularity and performance, chances for its return are high. We will update this section with the release date of Grimoire Of Zero Season 2 once it comes out.

Studio Trigger and Tsuburaya Productions have brought back one of the greatest shows of all time. The immensely popular tokusatsu series called Denkou Choujin Gridman has been adapted into an anime series after 25 years. SSSS.Gridman became popular even before it released. After its premiere in 2018, fans of the original series had different reactions towards the adaptation. Hence, if you’re wondering whether to watch this anime or not, here’s a Spoiler-Free SSSS.Gridman Review to help you out.

Denkou Choujin Gridman is tokusatsu series that aired between 1993 and 1994. For those who are not familiar with the word, tokusatsu is a Japanese term for a live-action film or TV drama that makes heavy use of special effects. The 25-year-old series is popular amongst millennials and boomers alike. In fact, it has inspired several Japanese and international projects. The producer of the original series, Studio Trigger, decided to make an anime version of the tokusatsu. The 2018 anime was animated in collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions.

SSSS.Gridman centers around an amnesiac high school student Yūta Hibiki. One day, he wakes up in his classmate’s house, having no memory of his past life. Upon meeting an old computer who refers to himself as Hyper Agent, he sets out to solve the mysteries around him. However, suddenly, the city gets attacked by a giant monster called Kaiju. Yūta then merges with Hyper Agent to become the Gridman, a giant robotic humanoid to save the city.

Is SSSS.Gridman Worth A Watch?

Studio Trigger was pretty confident about SSSS.Gridman way before it ever released. Well, considering the popularity of the original series, the anime created a buzz around its premiere. While fans of the tokusatsu series weren’t as impressed, the 2018 show managed to gain a fanbase of its own. Even though it is heavily inspired by the 1993 series, the anime was appreciated for having a fresh and creative story.

The first few episodes of the anime are slow and predictable. Yet, the series turned into a better version of itself as it grows. The content of the later episodes is interesting enough to hook viewers until the end. SSSS.Gridman is also nostalgic for many fans of the source material. Moreover, the fight scenes animated by the studios are worth appreciation.

Yet, the anime version of the tokusatsu series had to face criticism for having way too many references to other shows like Ultraman. The 2018 show didn’t have any memorable music or characters. Despite having a great story, SSSS.Gridman didn’t meet the standards of Studio Trigger. Hence, you can skip the show if you want. However, we advise tokusatsu fans and mecha otakus to give it a try.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card is a nostalgia trip at its best. It brilliantly takes you 20 years back in time when Cardcaptor Sakura used to air. Well, it sure does have its faults, which can be noticed by new viewers, yet it is an entertaining watch. Thus, it’s still hard for many people to decide whether to watch it or not. Hence, here’s a Spoiler-Free Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Review, guiding you through its good and bad aspects.

Cardcaptor Sakura originated as a 1996 manga series by popular manga group Clamp. In 1998, Studio Madhouse picked it up for an anime adaptation that aired for three seasons until March 2000. Years after the manga ended, the Clamp group resumed the franchise with a sequel manga called Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. Again, Madhouse adapted the 2016 manga into a sequel anime in January 2018.

Reasons To Watch Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card

Well, the biggest and most important reason to watch this anime is for nostalgia. The Clear Card anime is surely a treat for fans of the original anime. It brings back memories with popular characters, animation styles, colors, and storyline. All in all, the sequel anime is nearly as entertaining as the 1998 show. Well, it sure is changed with a modern twist and is made relevant for the new generation. However, it is only valid as the audience that watched the original show has grown with changing technology.

The animation has improved and is beautiful to the eye. Well, being a Madhouse production, the art style had to be iconic, for which the studio is known. The sequel manga by Clamp manga group was critically acclaimed. Hence, the Clear Card Arc also has well-paced writing. While the action scenes were mostly exciting, the anime had strong humor and emotional moments. Overall, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card was a fun ride and deserves a watch.

What Went Wrong?

The Clear Card Arc started off pretty well, had a tight story, and several interesting developments. Most of its characters remained relatively the same and almost mirrored the ones from the original anime. However, Sakura and Syaoran’s relationship felt a bit underdeveloped, as if it was only present for nostalgia. Moreover, the ending comes off as a means for setting up the second season rather than being a well-constructed story. As of now, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Season 2 is not confirmed, although it’s speculated to return around 2021 or 2022.

On the other hand, the anime might be a little confusing for viewers who missed 1998’s Cardcaptor Sakura. While it is a well-deserved sequel, Clear Card will likely be an average watch for new viewers.

Reasons To Skip The Anime

• Not The Best Thriller

While the audience was impressed with its trailer, they did not like the story of the anime when it released. Kokkoku is not a good thriller as it promised in the trailer. Its plot was sloppy, weird, and slow. Overall, the amount of time spent to watch it felt like a total waste.

• Random Backstory & Plot Development

Many characters, including the villain, had pointless and ineffective backstories. Also, several plot developments were poorly explained. Overall, the screenplay was a mess and Geno Studio could have done a better job on it.

To Watch Or Not To Watch?

Even though Kokkoku had an interesting premise at the start, yet it disappointed viewers towards the end. Overall, the anime is a one time watch. Although one might feel that it’s better not to waste your time in an ineffective thriller.

March Comes In Like A Lion does not pique your interest just from the looks. However, it is nothing less than a masterpiece once you start watching it.

Here’s a Spoiler-Free March Comes In Like A Lion Review, guiding you towards its good and bad aspects.

Sangatsu no Raion originated as a manga series written and illustrated by Chica Umino. The mangaka is known for her award-winning manga series Honey And Clover. Like her previous work, March Comes In Like A Lion received much appreciation when it began serialization in 2007. Hence, at the peak of its popularity, Studio Shaft picked it up for an anime adaptation that aired between October 2016 and March 2017. Exactly a year later, the studio released a sequel of the show.

The acclaimed anime is simplistic, yet it takes you on a journey that is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Besides, it highlights mental health issues like social anxiety, depression, and loneliness. All in all, the setting is a good coming-of-age story topped with mangaka Chica Umino’s writing.

Studio Shaft’s animation style compliments the anime’s overall theme, and its colors resonate with the emotions. As expected, the music by Bump Of Chicken is aesthetically pleasing and deserves appreciation. In terms of story, March Comes In Like A Lion is one of the best character-driven shows in recent times. Overall, the anime is worth the watch and is a treat if you’re looking for something deep and intense.

What Went Wrong?

One of the only issues with March Comes In Like A Lion is its pacing. While it perfectly suits the theme, the slow pace is not the cup of tea for everyone. Moreover, the anime does not explain the rules of the game as much as it should. On the other hand, viewers pointed out that the second season is not as good as the first one. While the series is still an entertaining watch, if you don’t prefer slow-paced shows or heavy narration, then Sangatsu no Raion isn’t for you.
