Since everything kind of goes back to normal at the end of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V Episode 15, did the season even matter? We ended up right where we started. You could probably skip this season.

The stuff I did not like:
Ubel Blatt: -10/10. Dropped at ep4. What a shit show. And from what I have heard the prologue stuff which the anime skipped would not have made it better.
Momentary Lily: 1/10. Hey it was better than Shit Blatt. But it still failed to be interesting in the slightest.
Grisaia Phantom Trigger: 4/10. I donno, it doesn't really click with me. I loved Fruit and Labyrinth, I liked the action sequences in them, but Phrigger is all about that shadowy organization stuff and failed to go anywhere with its characters. And maybe like Fruit it's a bad adaptation of the VN, but it just fails to make me care. I've only kept watching because uh, tactical schoolgirls are fun, I guess?
My Anime rankings, Winter 2025: The stuff I liked:
Trillion Game: 7/10. To paraphrase something I heard recently: it's not the greatest thing around. It's no masterpiece. It's just a good time.
Flower and Asura: 7/10 This is what I replaced Vomit Blatt with, and so glad I did. Hana is adorable and Mizuki-senpai is so gay.
Danmachi / Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V: 7/10. While I didn't enjoy this installment as much as previous Danmachi seasons, it's still pretty entertaining and the massive capture the goddess game that serves as its finale was well done and fun to watch. I think I am a bit done with this franchise though and this seems a good place to end it.
Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance (2024): 8/10. Now, it's been decades since I watched through the original Kenshin (yes all of it), but the remake seems to be following the story as I remember it pretty close. It's been fun watching this classic with new visuals. Kenshin's new voice actor seems to have finally found his own voice, especially in regards to the all important "Oro~".
Ishura 2nd Season: 8/10: Ishura manages to make its X-of-the-week format interesting again, though I wonder when we'll get to the third act it keeps telling us about. A single episode of this was more interesting than the entirety of Phrigger put together.
Ameku M.D.: 8/10. I confess, I love it mainly because I adore Takao. Also, goddamn, episode 9. Please stop cutting those onions. It sure as hell did not deserve its place on ANN's "Worst Anime" list, unlike Pukel Blech and Disinterested Lily.
Tasokare Hotel: 8/10: Again I adore the main character. So maybe slightly biased.
Re0 Season 3 Part 2: 9/10. You're either on this train by now or you're not watching it. Do I really need to say anything?
Solo Leveling Season 2: 9/10. Action sequences are great. This is a show that knows how to handle an overpowered main character, too. But at this point, I am wondering if it should have ended a few episodes ago as Sung has achieved the goal he's been striving for already. Sure, the new arc offers many opportunities for great action sequences, but it seems superfluous now. We've pretty much jumped the shark with this one.
And last, but not least, the most fun show I have been watching this season:
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World: 10/10, I don't even watch sentai and I am just loving this one. Every episode has had multiple laugh out loud moments, moreso than Trillion Game for sure. Also, Teltina's heckin' cute.
The fact that the final confrontation between Bell and a warrior of the Freya Familia in DanMachi V Episode 15 was just Bell running away and using the power of friendship to run faster was so lame.

The final episode of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V was full of disappointments, and the first of them was the fact that Bell didn't get a double level-up like Ryuu did.

With Hestia heading to the front lines to give her children status updates, it looks like Bell hitting the double level-up is back on the table. There's a reason it was first introduced with Ryuu's return.

The top level players in #DanMachi Memoria Freese were spending literally hundreds of dollars a month on in-game purchases, to stay at that level, at $16-30 USD for a Draw 11 ticket, and you needed six copies of each UR unit to max them out, with a 1-2% drop rate for URs. A full combat party was 12 UR units, each at maximum limit break, so 72 UR pulls needed to get there, with new units being released every month.
Mama Mia and her employees arrive on the scene and join the allied forces in the war game. But more importantly, in this review of DanMachi V Episode 13, I try to figure out what Runoa's name actually is.

Since Episode 8, I've been saying that Hedin Selland is probably a traitor to the Freya Familia. Well, in DanMachi V Episode 12, he finally makes his move and takes out Heith and the other healers.
