Barely watchable. In the last few episodes the story plunges in quality and becomes riddled with incredible amount of lazy and cheap plot devices aiming to force a tear from you.
After watching this trash, I have come to conclusions:
1. Even among typical anime MCs, Youta made to be especially retarded. Incapable of learning and repeats his mistakes over and over, and over, and over again. Sadly, Truck-kun didn't do a decent job this time.
2. For a girl with a suicide wish, Odin is too much hooked on life. She could have forced humanity to accept her or negotiated a compromise. She should have at least tried. Alas, author decided to just ignore her character traits, robbing her of agency on the biggest plot point. Which is ironic: she was screwed over by her world and by her creator.
3. I should avoid future works of Maeda. "Charlotte" was good enough, but his attempts at tragedy somehow always become a primitive cliche.
Highly recommending this one, story slowly gets better and better as it goes. The Tsukasa skating scenes are actually one of the highlight I like about. Looking forward to S2.
The only thing that bothered me is that they take it too seriously and yet it's a non-existent sport that was created just for fanservice so they don't have to hype it up that much and I don't even see a reason to become the best player at sticking their asses and breasts out. But other than that, it was more or less fine except for the last East-West competition when I didn't care anymore because the first half was enough for me anyway. for me 6/10
From what I noticed, you only picked characters that had a sad backstory and also had the best stats, what if they didn't have a sad backstory so you wouldn't have picked them? Is that my understanding that without them they would just be average people?
I don't know but I wasn't entertained by the plot, the characters weren't anything special either and I'm not interested in a sequel. The only thing I liked was the OP. for me 6/10
I don't like the last story about the bakery-boy. It's too "forced" here, I think. The rest of the anime is a great philosophical treatise on thinking and people's attitudes towards each other and towards science/believe during the religious dictatorship of the Middle Ages. Very good atmosphere and art... At one time in the past I was very irritated and disappointed by "talk anime genre" because of the Kemono-series(Bakemonogatari and so on). Many praised it, it has a good rating, but I hated this colorful circus pathos of that anime. But then stories like this one corrected my attitude and now I can happily recommend it to everyone else. There will be no fantasy or science fiction. Magic or action. There will be thinking.
Too bad it doesn't have that many ep. like Urusei Yatsura but otherwise I liked it and I'm glad that I can watch the old anime in a new coat and maybe even more faithful to the original. for me 8/10
It was very generic, a bit blunt, but peaceful at the same time. What annoyed me the most was the simplistic language. It's definitely targeted at middle schoolers.
Definitely not as strong as season two, but still GOOD!
This season focuses HEAVILY on the absolutely grotesque and weird of the witch cult. The animation still delivers and the few new characters that are added, are a fine addition to the story. Some side characters take the main stage as well as our main characters! Some things gets answered, but somethings are unfortunately still left hanging.
ACTION and gore definitely take the center stage, as the plot is a bit more simpler this time around. It definitely felt like a build-up season for more interesting things to come. If you can stomach the patience and wait (who knows maybe another 3 to 5 years?), for season 4, I'd recommend it, but yeah we all know that your most likely going to watch anyway.
Even as one of the weaker seasons, it definitely had its moments. It continues to deliver.
I miss this type of anime. The like of Ninja Scroll, Wicked City and even Perfect Blue. When anime was about telling an adult story for adult. Not the censored, juvenile, fanservecey we see nowadays.
They tried to copy JoJo's wacky style of anime.
I would only recommend this if you're a fan of fighting games or you like Guilty Gear. For a normal anime lover, this is a .
The story really starts to develop but this season falls short in a few ways.
The formula is the same but it just feels a bit off.
Still worth watching, if you're invested in the characters or story.
It's good but looses a lot of steam in the latter half of the story.
Ending didn't turn out quite as expected but still good in it's own right. Not perfect, and for this reason little more realistic but little less acceptable personally. It's a story about magic trees, why the hell would you go for realistic ending?
I mean, at some point it already became a fully fledged time paradox, so why not go for a few more with the aim to save everyone and overwrite history and Aika's decision, since we already crossed that bridge and fked the timeline? Alas, their choice is disappointing.
Such a classic. Perfect for relaxing. The beginning is fine, in the middle comes a classic dramatic twist, before the end a dramatic denouement and it ends with a happy ending. most movies work like that. Which is a shame, as I'd love to finally watch a comedy, not just melodramas and dramas. for me 6/10
A magical girl show that turns into cosmic horror. After reflecting on what happens here, this is one of the most well done psychological horror fiction works. It's surprising that this does not rely much on violence, rather on appealing to existentalism and human condition.
The stereotypical middle of road Isekai. Instead this time around the MC is the inhabitant of a fantasy world that gets "Teleported" to another fantasy world. As far as uniqueness goes, that's basically it.
Expect the usual tropes. OP MC decides to chill instead of taking on the "Big bad". The expected overuse of female characters is HEAVILY present as well. The narrative of coexistence with different species is also touched on, somewhat.
Overall not awful, but not great. Definitely a "Mid-sekai". Come into this with litte expectations and you might have some fun.
It's mostly a slice of life, with a bit of comedy, and a slow romance as background. The theme is nothing new: a country girl makes her debut in a Tokyo high school. The main character is rather interesting, with a peculiar mind and a distinctive voice in the original soundtrack. The best part of the show was some secondary characters and their interactions.
It could have been much better. The male lead is at often bland, and his backstory feels so fake it's hard to relate. The last third of the series (a school festival) was also lacking inspiration. I'll try the S2, and hope they've regained some steam.
Genuinely a very good anime.
The plot is good. Character development is good.
Some light hearted comedy here and there.
Some serious moments help balance everything out.
The art style is good and overall it has long been one of my favorite animes.
Currently rewatching for like the 10th time.
Nowadays if anyone wants to learn something, they can obtain it through a book, online, asking someone, etc., but this takes place during the medieval times where those conveniences weren't possible. This follows a group of characters and their collaboration between religion and science. All the characters are solid, but the stand out is Nowak (villain), he's down-to-earth and thinks his methods are right, but is ruthless... a complex character. The overall journey was thought-provoking and solid, although I wasn't a fan of the final episodes. In the end, this series asks the question of "what would you do for the pursuit of knowledge?"... endure torture, risk being shunned or death? Most wouldn't, but this series explores that.
Much much worse than S1 and that is no small feet.
Author trained to perfection his ability of Turning a Good Story into shit.
There are mini-arcs of 3-4 episodes each. They follow the same pattern: first episodes take their time to properly setup an exposition for an action packed arc-finale. Sometimes it's a good setup, sometimes even great. Doesn't matter, the final will always be an idiotic plot-holed garbage. Get ready for an alien boss speech, I shit you not, he's gonna say to you that he is the best possible ruler of the universe because he does not have genitals.
Jesus wept bloody tears and I wept with him.
Cherry on cake:
EP9 the Damsel-girl jumps from the ship into a lava lake to "save" her boyfriend from impossible trolley problem every moral-kun dread. Therefore, she values her boyfriend conscience MORE than the life and safety of the little girl she was hugging for an hour.
It had its moments but i felt it was a disappointment. There is no "proper" ending for it. The series ends quite abruptly which is surprising considering there is no second season to follow up on the different relationships.
Overall you won't miss out on anything if you don't watch it.
Recommended for those isekai fans that also like their harems. This one is, ittedly, less obnoxious in its execution than most. A 3/10 score in general is understandable, while those mentioning scores of 6/10 or higher are definitely rating it in its particular niche.
Nothing new. Old classic on which I liked the 4:3 picture and the animation wasn't bad either. I was expecting to watch the alternate version but after this one I'm not in the mood for it anymore. for me 5/10
Humour that you just don't see and nowadays you don't even see anymore. Especially the duo izawa/maeno (but also the others) are just two great comedians who made it funny. I'd say gintama was inspired by this and took it to the absolute ceiling.
For me, I'd see the minus in the slight lack of romance which would have been great here, as a few of the characters have the right chemistry and it would have clicked between them. Plot-wise, it's more about the day-to-day life of a ping pong club than anything of substance. Classically, I liked the old style 4:3 animation and image, also the first OP and both EDs. Definitely recommend it even if someone objected that it was toilet humour, it just didn't sit well with someone. for me 10/10
It has something to it, but knowing myself, I find the first half entertaining and interesting but from the second half onwards I'm impatiently waiting for it to end so I can finally dive into the next anime. So it's good, but it couldn't hold my attention enough personally. Being about half as long would have made it better. for me 6/10
to this I will give a brief summary. such anime must entertain you otherwise you will beg for it to be over, for me even the first half was enough and the rest I found uninteresting and unfunny. for me 6/10
It can be. I was expecting a bit better comedy from this but this one didn't offend either, just the pace was slow and at times I even looked away which couldn't keep me interested. The characters were more or less good but they didn't impress me with their behaviour. The plot was more or less cool but in the end it didn't interest me and bored me. for me 6/10
As the title says, Welcome to Japan, Miss Elf! It's an anime about how an elf and later a dragon get to Japan (it should be called, Welcome to another world, Mr. Japanese). Except that instead of showing her/them the beauties of Japan, they return night after night to the same isekai world where they met. They literally spend more time there than on the streets of Japan. So instead of the expected walks around the city and trips around Japan, I'm watching fantasy again, which is more than enough this season. And the few ep. when they have "free time" is simply not enough. And the "trip" to the hot springs in ep. 8 seems like a sloppy topic to me, as if there were no other options than just the spa.
Finally, yes, the idea is interesting, but not fully realized. It reminds me of a sweet reincarnation that ended the same way, and instead of baking sweets and cakes, everything else was dealt with. for me 6/10
Its a very DIFFERENT format on the genre. Most MC's are usually OP in this genre, but they do it differently in this one. The now foster parent MC, takes care of some REALLY STRONG children.
You'd think this would be a a total meme and not gonna lie at times it is. However, this managed to have the PERFECT RATIO of plot, vibes and a little bit of action. Despite the abundance of "Look! The kids are being cute" moments, and trust me there's a lot. It doesn't take away from the CHARM of this story.
Although it is very light, it manages to have some plot as well. Honestly was not expecting much out of this one and left a bit surprised and wanting more. I really wouldn't mind a second season.
Another isekai about "I am a maximum average man -> I am a maximum cool in another World". And a harem, of course. It's not cringy, but I am already TIRED of such harems. So in generally I can understand why people rated it with a low rating... but I can understand people who wrote about "underrated title" too. This one is not bad in magic-crafting. I gave it 6 of 10. If you have what to watch - you can really it. But I f you have time and don't have what to watch - you can definitely give it a chance.
It has all those great things in the setting, in the setup, in the bigger story, but it absolutely squanders them in the little things, because almost all of the characters on Yamato act not as a spacefarers on a mission, but as a bunch of inept retarded children on a school excursion.
The worst is Kodai and his girlfriend.
Dude is constant screwup, he should have been stripped of his position after Enceladus, where he failed to order a fighter sortie BEFORE the enemy arrived.
Girl is an Eternal Damsel, who exists to show us her vagina covered by the thin tight-fitting suit. In the long corridors of a giant space battleship she managed to stumble on the enemy boarding party on TWO(!!!) separate occasions and both times totally unprepared.
I could go on about other clowns, but you get the picture already. It's THAT bad. Makes it just barely watchable. They should have fixed all those in the remake but failed to do that.
This one is much better than OVA because, for once, Yamato crew have their shit together and act accordingly to their stations. Thank the space witches for that.
It would be even better, if Gatlantis here were not such a shameless cheap counterfeit copy of Klingons. It's something that was fixed in the next season, but there is a bunch of bigger problems with that one.
An interesting watch. Villainess/isekai/game type anime have a way of drawing a diverse audience when done well and this one is no exception. A pleasant way to spend a few hours if one is a fan of Villainesses not being very villainous but still trying hard at it.
Another interesting take on being "Kicked out of the Hero's party".
Despite being one of the "weakest" classes, it turns out our Protagonist is actually quite talented. With a new lease on life, he takes on the challenge of being an adventurer, while collecting the elusive "Ultimate Species" as part of his collection. Think Pokemon. but instead of monsters, he collects incredibly strong "Beasts". Each beast. giving him a new set of "Surpriss".
It had a decent premise, but almost no real substantive plot to speak of. Despite the lack of plot, its just alright. Its entertaining. Clearly, it wanted to have a more robust and involved plot, but instead it took a different approach.
Fun, but no real substance here, just a dude with his harem of "Beast" chicks. Decent, if you want a different take on the fantasy harem genre.
This anime has a typical story that you already saw in many other anime before 2024. It's not bad(just normal), and has a good music parts... the only problem - is visual part. I think you have a lot better titles to see instead of wasting your time on that creaking and almost static animation. 5/10.
I could agree that the first part was some kind of funny joke... but I totally don't understand why and for whom they created this sequel. It's a cringe nonsense that can be interesting only for ardent fans of... what? Objectively it's rating about 5(to laugh with a beer?). But subjectively - not higher than 1.
