Sentenced To Be A Hero Anime First Impression!

Published January 15, 2026 by Shay Taree

This was an anime that many people recommended for me to check out and follow for the winter 2026 anime season! So let me tell you that everyone tha recommended this anime made a great choice because I’m really enjoying it so far

The 2nd episode just released today and at first I wasn’t sure but after finishing the 2nd episode I definitely plan to keep up with this anime. Sentenced To Be A Hero is about a guy by the name of Xylo who is sentenced to become a hero which is actually a punishment and not something to be celebrated. I found this to be an interesting concept and it made me continue watching.

Also one thing that was surprising was that the first episode was a whopping 58 minutes. I was thinking it was going to be 25-30 mins but whe I saw that 58 minutes it stopped me in my tracks. The 58 minutes was worth it to me since it did give me a chance to really find out more about the world. But I gave it until the end of the 2nd episode to really give my first impression since fantasy shows can sometimes need some time for me to get into them.

Overall I really think others should check out the anime because os far it’s really good and the premise is quite interesting. Check out the video linked to below to listen to my first impression.

Hana-Kimi Anime First Impressions!

Published January 14, 2026 by Shay Taree

Hana-Kimi was one of 5 winter anime I put on my list for this winter season and so far I’m glad that I did. So far only the first 3 episodes are out with the 4th one about to air in the next few days and I’m hooked on it. I’m enjoying the drama, the funny moments, and also some of the angst that is happening. It’s also really keeping me engaged due to the synopsis since it really reminds me of the early 2000s move She’s the Man that started Amanda Bynes.

Hana-Kimi has been well known for a while since it was/is a popular manga and it had already been made into a live action drama. But this is the first time that it’s been made into an anime from my understanding.

It involves a girl named Mizuki who is disguising herself as a boy at an all boys school to get close to a boy that she likes. Of course a lot of mishaps happen along the way especially when it turns out that she is roommates with the guy she likes who’s name is Izumi Sano.

I’m super excited to watch more of the show since it already has a few characters figuring out he is actually a she so I’m curious on how that will navigate throughout the series.

I have a small video linked below about my thoughts as well so far so feel free to check it out if you like.

The Ideal Length For An Anime?

Published February 1, 2016 by Shay Taree

Many of us have watched several different anime’s and each have been different lengths. But I was wondering what to you is the ideal length for an anime?
Many people don’t exactly enjoy long running anime’s since it can be a long commitment to watch an anime that goes for hundreds of episodes do example One Piece.

But there are others who don’t exactly like short anime’s because sometimes it may not tell the complete story.

For me my ideal length for a show is anywhere between 12-24 episodes but I don’t mind if a show is split into different seasons of the same length. The reason why is because it similar to how shows air on tv and it doesn’t seem as daunting to watch a show that is that length.

Now it also does depend on the show. Shows that have that much detail may require more episodes but I still suggest seasons. Also of your someone that likes writing or recording reviews it gives you something that you can watch within a reasonable amount of time.

So what is for you the ideal length of an anime for you? Do you enjoy watching the long running shows, do you enjoy the shorter length shows, or do you just not care and just want to watch a show. So comment down below on what you think of this topic. I can’t wait to read your comments.
