| Honestly nothing special. I thought she gonna die from overworking, but instead, she died from food poisoning and that's kinda lame IMO. Design-wise MC is the only one who looks interesting enough, other characters look very generic, but I guess it makes sense since it was told in anime that the show she got isekaid into was considered trashy in Japan. I will give it a 3 episode rule and see where it goes, but I have a feeling it will be just a generic isekai show about MC drawing some ridiculous shit to change events of this world. |
| Didnt think this was an isekai at all. In fact i was going to drop it after 10 minutes but i end up watching it completely and I think this deserves an opportunity. |
 |
| Oh, a new anime about an animation studio making anime! Nope, it's an isekai.  |
| Is it honest, tho? *We don't care what you score it or what girl you like. This is supposed to be a discussion. We're not your Yotube-Channel audience, waiting for your opinion. Im sorry. |
 |
| First impression: Mappa just LOVES their unlikeable protags in their original anime so much huh? I actually felt bad for her coworkers. |
 |
| Jesus christmas was i disappointed to find out that this is just another isekai. I wasn't looking that closely but from the few blurbs I saw on it I really thought I was gonna get a drama /SOL based the life of an animator... nope just dumb isekai #12472. Really feel like I got bait and switched Shame this was like the only show other than apothecary S2 I had much of any hope or interest for this season |

Arcanine369 said: It's funny to see how many people are immediately disappointed just because this turned out to be an isekai so it's automatically bad or something. I dare say some of those people haven't even watch enough isekais yet to form their own opinion and probably just complaint out of stereotypical rumors. I'm not saying this show is a masterpiece or anything since it's only the first episode, I just think we need to let it cook for a few more episodes to really grasp the direction of this show. sodrainz said: @Arcanine369 it's MAL. It's exactly as you would expect from people making their lives about writing pretentious contrarian dissertations on any popular show I don't mean that isekai = automatically bad without even watching it, it's just a matter of personal preference. Are we allowed to like a concept/premise more than another without being called contrarians? Then if it turns out the execution is good, we might enjoy it regardless of its genre. |

Reply to Kernous
I can't believe I got baited into watching an Isekei...
| @Kernous for real I honestly thought it will be an anime about making an anime with all the production nightmares and writer's block. lol |
| I watched it after reading the synopsis, I totally forgot to look at the genres/themes thinking it's a SoL about making anime and throughout the first episode I was wondering if MC was just dreaming and she would wake up in the hospital or something, checked the genres/themes after watching the episode and decided to drop it since that sort of isekai doesn't interest me. |

| Nice high rating just because of the main mc lawl (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖) Anyhow, it's a 7.5/10 show as of rn but because of Unio ima rank it up to 8/10 show thus far. |
 |
| Nah. All of you bitching barely even watch isekai if you think this compares to the usual seasonal trash. lol |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| why why why why Unbelievable dropped that shit before I even finished my meal. |

| @-Kiraide- Agreed with the food poisoning part, I didn't realize what Natsuko "died" from until I replayed the scene lmao (quotes because I think she's in a dream/comatose state). I feel the show will lean more romantic since, well, the trailers/PVs mention Natsuko struggling to write a romantic story for her new film since she's never been in love before. She likely doesn't have time for it, being a famous director and overworking herself to boot. So, reminiscent of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", she'll learn to be a kinder, better person, and know what being in love is like, whenever she returns to reality at the end. That's my take on it anyway, we'll see how it actually turns out, haha. Oh, but as to your "generic characters" comment, couldn't help but think that the Boss looks awful familiar to a cartoon I watched as a kid...   I'm probably the only one who sees a blonde chick with flared up ends wearing red as Clover though. |

@LordJehZeus the issue is not that it is an Isekai, the issue studio hid it from everyone, the synopsis, or the trailers, never gave a hint of isekai. And here it is in ep1 itself. A big L for Mappa for this
| @gauravb28 Eh, I wouldn't say that they didn't "give a hint", the first teaser showed Natsuko drawing in the desert area, which if you paid attention to the area "A Tale of Perishing" takes place in, you would connect 2 & 2 together (logic: if this is supposed to take place only in the real world, how tf is she in the desert all of a sudden, unless it's a dream or imagination sequence???). After that, the main trailer made it pretty obvious in my opinion, since it says "Was I reborn into 'A Tale of Perishing'?" right when she shows up in that world, again showing her in the desert (logic: was I reborn in another world, aka the definition of an isekai, even if the "reborn" part isn't necessary). I can understand if you only watched the second teaser, or read the synopsis, that you'd be blindsided. Though if you watched the other two, especially the main trailer...really, you played yourself. :P |
| Anime Watcher Extraordinaire, Idk what else to put here lol. |
| Anyway, as to an actual answer for OP... Honestly looks stunning, especially the drawing sequence. Totally looked magical girl-esque to me, love it! While I can guess how this is going to end, after watching the PVs again for more clues lol, I'm intrigued by the presence of the girl with dark skin & pink hair. Seems Luke has a crush on her, or maybe that's his love interest? Wonder if it'll still work out that way, or Luke will end up liking Natsuko. Kinda hard to tell if it'll be involving Natsuko in the romance directly, or she'll be a spectator of such romance (haha, like she's watching a movie, haha). Only time will tell! As long as this doesn't end anything close to how Wonder Egg Priority did, this show will likely be getting at least a 7 from me (looks like an 8 or 9 currently, though I'll wait to rate this one, which I usually do, but there are exceptions). Helps that they're starting off simple with the plot, unlike WEP. |
