Magical school harem of the demon king. All the time I was watching this I was just thinking about how much better Ichiban Ushiro no Daimou was. This started out with an interesting setup in the first episode— the main character was revived as the demon lord a thousand years later, he killed a girl … Continue reading The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy Review — D- →

Like the title says. This was an enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the main character’s personality— she’s gay and the show actually takes this seriously (well, while being a comedy), at least in the second half. She’s also very entertaining to watch with how she has no chill and doesn’t hold back. It’s also a very … Continue reading I’m in Love with the Villainess Review — B →

Ooooo how edgy. I can’t believe I finished this. The main character is a stupid teenage edgelord. The story felt very haphazard with little planning. It felt pointless. Storytelling – F – What even was this. Voice – F – Cringe. Characters – F – Awful. Attention Grab – F – Why did I keep … Continue reading Berserk of Gluttony Review — F →

Isekaied as a pig. There were some good ideas here. I loved the pig DDR dance routines, and appreciated the overall setting with the mystery of what’s wrong with this world. Unfortunately the actual journeying aspects, as well as the characters and their relationships, didn’t deliver from my perspective. The journey consists of multiple side … Continue reading Butareba Review — C- →

More goblins are slain. See what I said last season because it’s pretty much following the same lines. There’s still a little bit there but I will say generally this season felt less nasty than the last (especially the first episode). I particularly liked the elf arc (best girl). Storytelling – B – Growing to … Continue reading Goblin Slayer S2 Review — B →

All the girls love dads. I enjoyed this show much more than I expected. It has a lovely animation style, it’s different in its focus from all the other shows in the genre, and it mixed things up enough not to get stale. That said, it was never great by any stretch of the imagination. … Continue reading My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer Review — B- →

Two girlfriends are not enough (but 100 may be too many). This was not quite as good as the excellent first season, in my humble opinion, but still enjoyable. It probably didn’t help that there was so much great competition this season though. Mirika is a riot. I appreciate the sense of humor and continue … Continue reading Girlfriend, Girlfriend S2 Review — B →

The adventure continues… I should have dropped this after the first season. You all may recall that the first season had a great first arc where he leaves his three undead parents behind, and then proceeded to go absolutely nowhere with the most generic fantasy adventure story. This season of course continued the generic adventure … Continue reading The Faraway Paladin S2 Review — D →

Rentarou begins his journey of 100 girlfriends. This is a show where when I think about it objectively, it’s pretty good. But personally I don’t like it. The animation is excellent, it’s decently funny (by anime standards), and there’s always something new and interesting going on. But for me it’s very draining to watch since … Continue reading The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Review — C+ →

The strongest warrior makes friends with demons. I read the manga this is based on years ago and it suffered from the same problem— not knowing what it’s setting out to do. The beginning was a silly, fluffy comedy which I enjoyed. But then partway through, it turns into this serious, dark story (half told … Continue reading Helck Review — D+ →
