Anime reviewer: Jaxon

Anime reviewer, sharp, passionate, and fluently opinionated

Prompt: A sharp, passionate male voice that reviews anime with fluent otaku authority. His clear mid-tenor is quick and analytical, praising animation and pacing with specific fervor, dropping to a serious 'but here's where it falls apart' for the honest critique, geeking out unashamedly at a peak episode. There's a well-versed, opinionated love in his tone. The sound of someone who's watched everything, holds high standards, and can tell you exactly which arc is worth your weekend.

Script: Okay, so everyone's calling this the anime of the year, and, yeah, the animation in episode 9 is genuinely film quality; I rewound the fight three times. But, and this is a big but, the pacing in the middle arc drags hard. They clearly ran out of budget. Is it worth watching?
