One Punch Man

 こんにちわ みんなさん、レーシュ オーウェンです。おげんきですか。 I absolutely love One Punch Man. It was actually the first anime I ever watched. The plot is phenomenal, the character design hilarious, and the animation is able to quickly able to flip between goofy to serious and right back again. The one specific thing that this anime does better than any I have seen is its ability to make fun of several anime tropes in such a lighthearted and complex way. Rather than simply having a character who is ridiculously over powered, and that is the extent of his personality, One Punch Man is able to portray what having such power would do to a person's psyche. I saw various improvements in my understanding. Conversational Japanese was significantly easier to follow especially with having learned dictionary form verbs. I missed some specific words and details that I had not come across but having previously watched the show allowed me to intuit meaning and still understand what was going on. Overall rating: 10/10

Mushoku Tensei

こんにちわ みんなさん、おげんきですか。レーシュ オーウェンです  Mushoku Tensei is my all time favorite Isekai anime. The animation is astounding, the character development is engaging, and the world building is masterfully done. The magic system also has a rather intuitive feel, which has been rather satisfying. This show somehow makes it satisfying to watch mundane daily events, and yet is also able to bring the thunder come the fight scenes. I felt the same progress I have felt with most anime as of late, I am able to pick up a greater amount of conversational Japanese but still struggle with more specified language.  Overall Mushoku Tensei gets a 10/10 must watch.
