 wrote a review of Gushing over Magical Girls
Score 2/10 The premise of this show sounded really fun. There were good hints of a decent plot and comedy setups to be unfurled whilst flashing a healthy amount of fan service.
I made that mistake once before with the dog anime. I won't make it again.
It's pretty clear... What flimsy story and... Read tyr's full review

wrote a review of Tearmoon EmpireScore 6/10 The premise of this anime was interesting. Its a isekai-adjacent fantasy where a princess, executed in a bloody revolution, gets sent back in time to change her fate, taking the diary she kept during her pre-execution imprisonment with her.
The diary updates as she makes changes to the timeline... Read tyr's full review

wrote a review of Solo LevelingScore 8/10 Everything about this show sounds like it should be terrible...But its actually really good.
Its sort of part of the wave of post-isekai in that it uses isekai tropes but without the fundamental stranded in another world aspects.
It doesn't really try to do anything too wacky with the... Read tyr's full review

wrote a review of The Fire HunterScore 5/10 Honestly this show was a slog.
So much about it ticks boxes that means it should be right up my alley.
A deep and very Japanese fantasy setting.
Mamoru Oshis involvement.
Retro animation styling.
But the sum of its parts just comes together into... Meh.
It really does... Read tyr's full review

wrote a review of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the DungeonScore 3/10 It's just... Not very good is it.
I'm someone who has enjoyed a fair bit of trash isekai in my time. That's not what this is though. Rather it's a weird super episodic slice of fantasy life series where very little of interest ever really happens.
The comedy is dull, drama low... Read tyr's full review

updated their review of Yakitori: Soldiers of MisfortuneScore 9/10 Completely by surprise this is a really good show.
It is completely lacking in basically any of the typical stylistic choices of a contemporary anime apart from the bizzare cutesey AI that occasionally shows up- interestingly she remains undubbed if you do switch over to a dubbed version.

wrote a review of Ranking of Kings: Treasure Chest of CourageScore 3/10 The original Ranking of Kings is a truly fantastic show. It has an off putting old school children's cartoon animation style but beneath this it hides a game of thrones level deep and complex fantasy story.

wrote a review of BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense.Score 3/10 Perhaps the most textbook generic isekai going. There's just nothing to appeal about it. Right from the straight from Sword Art Online "Its a video game" plot.
There's no stakes and no fun. There's not even any interesting concept behind it all. Read tyr's full review

wrote a review of The Executioner and Her Way of LifeScore 7/10 This is a very peculiar anime.
The premise was really intruiging. A post-isekai in the truest sense. I've often thought myself of a story about a world where isekai happens and the locals reacting badly to this.
Nonetheless upon first attempting to watch I just couldn't get into it. I... Read tyr's full review
