Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO

This anime definitely had a great start. It was interesting watching anime that had something to do with the history of life and ancestry, obviously history about the anime world itself, not human history.
I really wish I could give this anime a 10/10 but the ending was rushed. I feel like if they had gotten another season, it would have been great!
Animation is great, story like is pretty good and character development is there but not crazy.

the reason I recommend this anime is simply because it is a good watch, and it is different from the regular anime you normally watch. This ... anime has multiple genera's it could fall under, i would say this anime contains, Action, Adventure, Sci-fi, Romance, Historical fantasy, and I guess Isekai due to the fact this character is able to cross into different versions of the world.

Meant to write this ages ago and I accidentally wrote it in the comments section of my personal rating.

I struggle with my rating for this because the first half or so of the series had a really good thing going. It was very suspenseful and kept me on edge. Then about halfway through it brought in some new plot elements which added a different sub-genre to the series. About 2/3 of the way through the series it shifted genres completely and at that point it didn't really even feel like the same series. The final episode left many plot holes and unanswered questions, although it ... is hard to seamlessly wrap up stories involving time paradoxes. This show overly complicates things by employing both the grandfather paradox and causal loops. The protagonist must repeat the past several times over until they have taken the course of action which will alter the future. Yet we find out they are continuously stuck in the same casual loop despite this. There is a lot of fancy talk about causality, but not real explanation or conclusion on the subject. The one thing I will compliment them on is at least they took out the incest which apparently is abundant in the original visual novel.

Listen I have watched a LOT of anime over the years and I know I always struggled with time, space and multiverse animes but I wanted to give this one a try so hear me out why I think this one is a huge waste of time without spoilers.

Some points I think I understood correctly while watching this:
- It's a game adaptation
- The anime goes through the story one heroine after another
- Time and history are not set in the time space continuum but in something totally different that uses the concept of causality (i said no spoilers)

While watching this mess, other than confusion to ... what's happening and being happy for hearing Jiraya's Seiyu I felt no joy watching this.
The story is bland and makes little to no sense especially the last arc and the jump in time + the whole "let's forget about whatever was happening before we got here" since it's totally a whole different story.

17+ episodes to actually hear the name Yu-no which is fine I guess there was build up that leads to it eventually but the whole thing felt so wrong in some many ways.

This anime could have been a 12-13 episodes and you wouldn't even notice the story ending.
A lot of people recommended playing the game because the anime does a poor job at making it look good but I'm not paying 50€ for some text on a screen and horny jokes.

The anime even has very weird and questionable scenes, I understand the need for Ecchi since it's present in the game but the grooming to the showing a child's pants was a bit too much and weird even for me.

I regret watching it and don't let the 6 I gave fool you because I was just being honest.
It had some cool ideas that were rushed beyond return and you can feel it could have done differently.
And no it's not because you liked Steins Gate you're going to like this one please let's not compare a masterpiece to this "thing".

If you watched it and enjoyed, good for you don't come for me.
