Yozakura Quartet

Overall, this series was good, but the pacing and the plot have complex issues. The pacing was uneven and was dragged long enough to build the plot points. The plot has a solid start and that took long enough for the pacing to go with how the story will progress. Hence, the fighting scenes animation and the background music played for this series was great.

The ep was satisfying but the ending was quite predictable. The pacing was uneven from the start of the series. How it was dragged too long for just one escapable villain felt that it was rushed in this ep, to end things what was needed or what was supposed to. Hence, the animation with the falling sakura petals and Hime jumping pole to pole were smooth. The tone at the ending scene was nice and back to peace once again.

The animation quality here improved for the final confrontations, the Hime versus Enjin fight also showcased some fluid movements. The pacing here is also remarkably good, and the resolution after the fight was good writing. Though the ending here actually felt a bit rushed maybe due to the fact that the pacing for the past episodes were horrible, it felt like they just used this episode to wrap everything up.

This was actually a well structured episode. Splitting the group onto separate tasks was actually good as it allowed the show to have each cast something to do and to focus on. The pacing here also improved. And the animation was also a bit better, felt like the budget was more focused on this episode.

I really like Hime's writing here, that she was emotionally open and the voice acting was really good. The animation here still felt limited but the staging for the action scenes were surprisingly clean.

The animation here is really inconsistent, some scenes feel really out of budget. The pacing is also unstable, the first part was meh, and the second part was okay. The emotional impact here also does not land very well.

This episode was full of action. The choreography here is nice, and fights have clever details in them. The direction on this episode was also commendable, it builds up some nice tension especially during the hostage scene.

This festival themed episode was a nice change of pace. I like that there are some comedic scenes here and there, it was actually a fun episode. Though the transition onto the kidnapping was actually really fast, it doesn't even take the time to build tension. The pacing on the first part is good but the second half was meh.

This was a better episode than the previous ones. The pacing is fast, the writing is funny, and the animation is noticeably a step up better. Even the character writing here is better and some scenes provide some emotional stakes.

Honestly, why does it seem like the smaller moments in this episode are better than the bigger ones. The daycare scene here also looks clumsy and even the comedy in it does not land very well. The animation here is still meh, I am starting to think this show barely has any budget.

The character work in this episode was actually good, it was more on small visual details rather than dialogue which I find very interesting. The fight scenes here are just meh, the animation is bland and I can barely feel any emotional tension. Also the way they just introduced a bunch of new characters is just not it.

I like Silver's part here, it was good for character development. The animation is still the same but at least the fight near the end has a better animation. The transitions here felt rushed and I do not really understand where they are trying to go in this episode.

This was a bit better than the previous episode, it had a better animation though the movements are still limited. I can barely feel any emotional impact in this episode but there is one scene that has a warm moment to it. The pacing is still relatively slow and is hard to keep attention to.

The first episode does a good job explaining the setting of the story but it really wasn't that memorable. The world here was actually interesting, I like it how both the yokai and the humans coexist together, but the pacing here felt a bit rushed. The animation here were lackluster, most of the scenes here are still or has limited movement.

Last episode finished but I'm not really sure if I enjoyed that. It wasn't that bad but also not good. This anime should've had lots of potential to be better. I enjoyed the music and some of the characters but not much of the story. Good final battles from everyone, though.

At least we got some action packed episode before the final episode. I like the fight scenes even though it was still predictable. I think it would actually be better if there's a plot twist on the last episode. Is it just me or the whole town was actually Tokyo all this time?XD.

I wouldn't certainly get my hopes up after this episode. They had all the chance to build up a good story but I'm actually disappointed. I'm also starting to dislike Akina now LOL. Aren't the characters should be growing by now? and having some sort of development. Well, it's just me but that animation did also suck.

Well, I was actually surprised on Akina's decision and that didn't quite sit well with the others. I would say this episode had more drama than the other episodes. It was a nice emotional episode with bits of action. I do hope the last 3 episodes would be better.

Hmmm.. I think they did this episode a little better. We get to see a good build up and a good fight sequence. I'm not really sure if i was satisfied, though. Don't get me wrong but it did had some nice developments. Music is still good and we also get to learn of Enjin's plan.

I'd say I needed this kind of episode where the characters were having more fun. Although they didn't progress the story that much, the first part of the episode was hilarious. You just can't leave a series without an alcohol episode haha.
