The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Jan 10, 2022

This is without a doubt trash anime. It's somewhat like konosuba but quite a bit funnier. I'd say it's so bad it's entertaining. Everything is so ridiculous and nonsensical and because of that it's fun watch even if sometimes it's boring.

Remake our Life!

Jan 9, 2022

I'm really torn. Of course, I like it, I even would go as far as to say I love it. But... Some decisions made with the direction of this show don't really sit well with me. Recently I've started to watch anime as my hobby for multiple reasons but mainly to learn more about it because I want to try my hand at making it. And I've felt, sometimes the shows aren't made solely for the purpose of being good art. Most of the anime I've watched are too long. Remake our life! Should've been a one and done. Though I think if it were the case something like 24 episodes would've been a great benefit. Remake our... See full review

The Rising of the Shield Hero

Jan 9, 2022

I think this show is a fine introduction to the isekai genre. It's shamelessly unoriginal and I love it for that. Every single trope from the genre is here, from a harem to the video game aspect. I'm actually surprised they aren't fighting a demon lord. But as I've said before I don't think originality is that important, if it's polished to a shine that's also great! In this case, it absolutely is. There's actual character development and intrigue, it's great. The heroes face threats that are actual obstacles. But like most anime, while watching I felt like I'd already seen it. I think most of the villains... See full review

The Irregular at Magic High School

Jan 8, 2022

The first and second acts are good. The final one is not. Such big stakes, but no build-up. The villains don't have nearly enough to warrant an understanding of their motivations. The ending is convoluted and confusing. It highlights the shows biggest flaws. Like the far too big cast of characters. Not enough time is spent with the side characters. Anyhow, overall it's average.

After School Dice Club

Jan 6, 2022

It's a fine show. Good even. But if I were to be directing this show. I'd have made the game developing the main driving force of the plot. As it currently stands the story is disjointed. It'd be much more interesting if what happened in the year actually affected the game. But, it's only them playing. With a bit of variety here and there. It's okay, but It could be better. Also the romance either you indulge in it or you don't. Right now, it's vapid, there's nothing there it's a waste of screen time.

Maoyu: Archenemy & Hero

Jan 5, 2022

This show is at times beautiful and touching. But at others, it is shallow and empty. It had the potential to reach the stars. After all, it tried to subvert the typical hero vs demon lord story. And it did, for that alone, though I think it could've been handled better It deserves a watch. The scarcity of Japanese stories willing to push boundaries is upsetting. But its lack of care for its characters and its romance is unforgivable. The character's arcs feel unfinished, left at their climax then ripped away from us. And the romance, for most of the show the two characters aren't even together. In my... See full review

Knight's & Magic

Jan 4, 2022

Mecha fantasy. Need I say more? Sure it's not the best show out there. It's not even a good isekai, in the sense that it never really uses the other world. But it's fun and cool. There's nothing more badass than robots fighting each other and in a fantasy setting, absolutely splendid. It delivers lot's of mecha creation and action and in my book, that's all it needs to do.

It's basically your run of the mill isekai. It's not original nor is bad. It's average. A perfectly good watch, though probably not the first show I'd recommend.

The King's Avatar

Jan 4, 2022

Take my review with a grain of salt. I had to watch it with horrendous subtitles. I've never encountered such horrible translations before. Therefore, it felt like people with a basic understanding of their languages talking. It really hampered my experience. I think this show has the potential to be a 10, maybe it actually is. I've never seen such an anime before. Everything in it is original and cool. If only I understood the characters. If you have the same translations as I don't watch it.

Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Jan 3, 2022

Aww shucks! I thought I had found a fated "one and done" anime. But no. That ending left a sour feeling in my mouth. It was all going well until the last two minutes. I like Cautious Hero, it's very similar to Konosuba, but unlike the latter, it's funny engaging and overall well rounded. It doesn't take an eternity to take down an enemy, thank god. But its crude humour is still irritating beyond belief. While I found most of the jokes funny, some of them fall flat. The twist also could've used more build-up, especially with the goddess. Overall I liked it, it's a good isekai.

Recovery of an MMO Junkie

Jan 3, 2022

Bofuri I wanna max out my defence and Love is hard for nerds are two of my favourite animes. Therefore it would go without saying that I'd love a show that basically combined the two. And I do. It's not better than those two, but god damn I loved it. The characters are sweet and the climax is satisfying. The lead up to the discovery of each others secrets was really well done. I think the MMO RPG part was a bit lacking though.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest

Jan 2, 2022

At first, I was wary of this show, I mean the reviews for it were not positive.  But god damn, did I have so much fun watching this. Yes, It's clear some aspects were rushed/had a lower budget. For example, the second labyrinth really fell victim to such, it's the only episode I consider to be outright bad. But, holy moly I found the protagonist so cool. If you don't like the main character you'll probably hate this. I dislike the harem part too, but it's not atrociously bad like other shows. Anyhow, I am tremendously hyped for next season.

Reikenzan: Eichi e no Shikaku

Jan 1, 2022

Do I like it? Honestly, I don't know. This season is vastly different from the first, it explores mature themes. It's very morally ambiguous. I think it's a series I should revisit when I acquire more life experiences.

The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!

Jan 1, 2022

While at first, I hated this show. The beginning is long, irritating and not very enjoyable. The great Jahy Will not be defeated, is a magical girl / reverse isekai anime.  It sucks at both. For a similar magical girl show, I'd recommend watching The demon girl next door, it's better. And for the reverse isekai part, The devil is a part-timer is so much more entertaining. But it's not all bad. I think during the latter half it redeemed itself. I had fun. This shouldn't be your first pick but it's definitely enjoyable. Though I think its main problem is the protagonist, it's still sweet.

Restaurant to Another World 2

Dec 30, 2021

Well, if you're here and you've watched the first season odds are you'll like this. Very little changes across seasons. It's still the same old formula. Every problem the original had still carried over. Fortunately, they develop the customers more, this is why I like season 2 better. Though I still feel sad, that my one hope for this season didn't get realised. The employees don't get much more screen time than season 1 nor do they get developed further.

Restaurant to Another World

Dec 30, 2021

Watch the first episode, if you don't like it stop. But if you do, you'll probably find enjoyment in the rest, because it follows the exact same formula, with a bit of deviation here and there. I don't think any review score can do this anime justice. I've never felt this mixed before, Restaurant to another world is basically a slice of life isekai but instead of following the employees, we observe the customers, mostly how they came across the restaurant. I like this, there's nothing wrong with having a good formula, but the downside is it gets repetitive fast. Therefore, you need a breather to mix things... See full review

The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?

Dec 29, 2021

I think originality isn't the most important aspect of a show, rather its refinement. Yes, The 8th son is bland and unoriginal. But contrary to the reviews I've seen, I don't think it's not worth a watch. For instance, it's one of the few shows, if my memory serves me right, that had no jest about breast size. There was one crude joke that felt absolutely out of place, but otherwise, I commend this for its lack of irritating 'dirty humour'. I also, found the first half pretty funny, few animes have made me laugh intentionally. Though The 8th son lacks a bit in the character development I think it makes up... See full review

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Dec 28, 2021

This series has left me with mixed feelings. I think the slave harem is weird. Though not all bad, I liked the protagonist levelling up & teaching them. I really liked the abilities and how they're presented. It's a nice progression. Though they focus too much on the harem, there's not enough combat.

My Senpai is Annoying

Dec 27, 2021

It's perfectly fine. It's good even. But I can't shake off its originality or it's the romance progressing at a snail's pace, I mean it feels like it's gonna take five seasons until they kiss. Even, how the side romance can be more engaging than the main one because of how stagnant it is. Some of its side characters are woefully underbaked, like Mona who has probably 5 minutes of screen time across 12 episodes. But, I still enjoyed myself and because of this show I've found a passion for anime.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Dec 27, 2021

Amazing. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is like a bottle of scotch on a cold winter night in a desolate cabin. Snowfall, white everywhere. Sipping the warm booze. The liquid, echoing a warm feeling across your entire body. There's nothing better. Though as much as I like this show, I could say it's too perfect... There's never any adversity. The hero can do anything, literally. Balancing the power fantasy is a hard thing to do. But it needs to be done correctly. This series might also not be for everyone.

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro

Dec 26, 2021

It's better than I expected especially with it being an 'ecchi' show. Fortunately, I think it utilises its lewdness in a good way. And because of it, it's a good show filled with wholesome and sweet moments. The romance progresses steadily and the duo makes for an interesting dynamic. Though, it could've had a touch less of meaness.

Komi Can't Communicate

Dec 24, 2021

Komi can't communicate is good. Its two leads are sweet and wholesome. The main gimmick affects the story in a meaningful way. But, the side characters, Oh la la. Most of them I can't even call them that, they're just archetypes and the majority have criminally low screen time. They're also really fucking annoying. Plus the romance, where is it? It progresses so agonizingly slow. They don't even go out on a date in this season. What a waste.

This show is bad. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Its writing sucks, the humour is terrible, naked men doing kinky stuff does not equal funny and its characters aren't really interesting.

I did not enjoy this. The antagonists are nonsensical. Mild spoilers, how do you die from a gunshot but not an atomic bomb? Or why try to end the commoners serving under you for statues? How are you going to pay your dear empire? How are you going to collect taxes? This kind of bullshit I can't stand. The seven aren't good people too. They are way too sexualised for children. They aren't very likeable too. Plus the love triangle introduced is forced and isn't very engaging because meaningfully developing more than 7 characters over twelve episodes is a very hard task Overall it has an interesting concept of...
