I'm sorry, but why the fuck does this anime have such low rating on this site while trash like Arifureta Season 3 is over 7/10?
I started watching this show not expecting much, having never heard of it, but by the time it ended, I actually wanted to see more. I haven't bothered writing many reviews for a while, but seeing the low rating for this just confused me.
Let's see..
- MC & PARTY -
MC isn't annoying, has a clear goal in mind and is working towards it. He has past trauma that has shaped him and he's working through emotional damage as well. He doesn't even
...
act like a sex pest, unlike the majority of the Isekai/Anime shows, nor does he have a harem of women falling on his dick the moment he enters the room.
The party members are actually not bad. The first girl that joins his party is actually a good support cast that is used for more than just combat (like luring enemies) while the other party member is an experienced fighter that just kicks ass brutally.
- ROMANCE -
What is strange, is that the relationship between MC and the Elf party members actually feels more realistic than any other anime I've seen in a long time. They steal glances and slowly seem to be getting to know each other more and more. It helps that the MC isn't overreacting to a girl just being close to him like every other anime MC. He acts more grown up than most grown male characters in anime towards a woman. I was surprised by this kind of romance in this random isekai anime.
- 3DCG & COMBAT -
Combat is fine, though held back because of 3DCG used in scenes here and there. Honestly, 3D use is just weird in this anime. In most scenes, the 2D version looks just fine, but sometimes they give a 3D view of the characters with that typical shitty low FPS all Anime directors are fond of, and it looks bad. The good news is, in the majority of the scenes, there are no shitty 3D laggy visuals like Berserk 3D.
Other than that, combat is fine, though the MC's magic usage is.. confusing. Why he doesn't just spam "paralyze" and "poison" on everyone instead of throwing other spells like "dark" (blindness) and "berserk", is a mystery to me. But whatever, I guess you can chalk it up to him trying to level up the skills.
- THE WORLD -
I'm surprised that they are actually spending time developing the world. It isn't a generic shite world like Arifureta. They have different locations, interesting creatures and unique NPC's with dungeons. It actually feels like an adventure, a feeling most of these fantasy shows lack. I won't say it's the "BEST WORLD EVAR" or something, but they put more work into it than most Isekai or fantasy shows.
- RATING -
Why is this rated so low? Some people complain about "horny" world or rape attempts on women, which shows the bubble most reviewers live in. Real world wars have shown, women are the first casualty for a reason. Assaulting women of enemies is the first thing armies do in war, just like local criminals. This world is actually far more realistic in this depiction than other anime where local goons or armies act all gentlemen-like and never assault women, choosing to kill them and move on.
I mean, FFS, there are actual wars and events in the middle-east where we've seen this play out in the last few years. How oblivious do you have to be about world events and how sheltered life do you have to live to complain about this?
Whatever, rating it 10/10 just to do my part to counter the negative rating a bit.

Like I said in my "interest stack", this show has an interesting premise ruined by the writer's inability to write a MC that grows in any interesting manner whatsoever.
Till the beginning to the end, MC acts like a moron. It goes from "charming" to "is he retarded?" when he keeps mistaking every situation for what it isn't. He even encounters the enemy leader clad in gold and his first response is, "What is this old guy doing here wearing all gold?" Dear lord, this isn't charming. You have to be touched in the head to find this shtick entertaining for more than two episodes.
I swear
...
most anime is just this on a loop. A good premise, ruined by some average writer.
Ignoring the obvious flaws with the character development, the visuals are surprisingly good and the action is fun. I actually liked that the MC didn't have a harem of bimbos drooling over him 24/7 as well. As long as MC doesn't act special, he's a likable nice guy, not some OP prick.
If there is ever a season 2, I would just like them to tone down the bimbo levels and make the MC live in the real world for a change. But then, it kinda feels like the entire premise is based around the MC being aloof and "being able to parry everything", so not sure if the writer can make the season 2 interesting without them both. I mean, if the MC isn't an idiot, he would've been able to work hard and learn new skills other than parry, and not waste time cleaning gutters for a living.
Anyway, 6/10, enjoyable enough despite the flaws.

Started watching this anime in 2023, then stopped and never went back. It's 2024, so I decided to finally re-watch and finish watching it, only to realize why I stopped watching it.
Interesting premise, the first episode is OK and you think it'll get better, but it doesn't. I'll just list everything wrong with this anime:
- Dogshit art and animations. They are BAD. I have never seen an anime where they messed up animation for walking up/downstairs this badly. It's like whoever drew these characters was animating for the first time in his life. This issue doesn't get any better as the show progresses.
- Art is
...
the least of this anime's issues. The garbage-tier characters written with the most boring generic backstories make the whole thing feel like a chore. They dedicate like 5 fucking episodes to these moronic main characters and their backstories, while only one or two (max) episodes would've been more than enough.
- Idol concert. Really? Fucking really? What world is this even? It isn't a secret where they're going with it. Anyone with a functioning brain will be able to figure out the plot quickly, but that still won't make the fucking idol and otaku nonsense feeling out of place. The main protagonist doing this otaku shit isn't even written like he would be the one interested in it. Is he supposed to be a serious character? Who the fuck knows, every character is written confusingly where comedy bits are thrown in to ruin any immersion completely.
- Annoying as fuck pedo/shota character shows up half-way through, and just won't STFU.
- Stale comedy, uninteresting plot. Nothing works. I mean it, NOTHING works.
- Gender-bender male MC. This is one of those anime which pretends to be normal, only to have the MC turn into a woman half-way through. If you're into that kind of cucked MC depictions, this will do. Well actually no, this anime is still worse than just a character transforming into another gender.
Watch this if you're really desperate. It's Netflix anime level trash.

I have mixed feelings about this show. The focus on tennis is fun and what makes this anime worth watching, but the fact that every other character in the story has some family trauma is unrealistic and takes you out of the show as well.
What are the odds that out of 10 friends 9 of them have some crazy (and I mean abuse levels through the roof) family/life issues going on?
Art is average, same goes for audio. Don't expect anything interesting from any character that doesn't involve family trauma. Anyone other than the boys might as well not exist.
Doesn't look like this will ever get
...
a season 2 as well and it ends on a (terrible) cliffhanger, so don't get your hopes up.

Interesting premise, average isekai.
Characters other than MC and Peeps might as well not exist. World itself is trying to do too much while somehow still having so little. It's impressive how generic it all feels. The worst are the "psychics" and how they hilarious fight using their.. guns.. not any psychic abilities. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Also, can I just say how fake the "aww so cute" moments of Sasaki feel like with Peeps? They feel forced and fake.
Art is fine, no complaints. Sound is there, I guess, nothing stood out to me in the anime concerning audio.
Anyway, watch it to see how a good
...
premise is squandered.

A tear-jerker, that's definitely over-hyped.
Sure I shed tears on the right cues, so I could've rated it higher, but the fact remains.. this anime is just average.
- Things aren't explained. Random events just happened. Stupid flying dragons suddenly turning red and dying, with no explanation. They don't even bother explaining much about the "EVIL EMPIRE" (people seem to be happy, was the empire even evil or not?).
- The loom nonsense is just a bunch of gobbledygook with elves (or "Iorph", whatever they wanna call Elves in this) being all depressive and child-like (can't have anime without sexualizing 5000 year old children). Only time anything with
...
"loom" was interesting, was in the movie Wanted (2008), and it was because of the action, not because of fucking thread weaving skills of the characters.
- Plot-holes maketh the plot, so do the jump-cuts. This movie needed another 30-60 mins to fill in the lore. Characters not only age every few mins, they even have background romance and suddenly are popping children while the viewer is left wondering, "Dafuq, did they even have any chemistry in that 10 second scene an hour ago?". Maybe if they didn't spend time on pointless lingering shots of characters crying, they could've added some dialogue and lore, minus the jump-cuts.
Art is good, English dub is garbage (muffled dialogues with music blaring in on max volume). Main character is just a weird mess who spends the whole movie crying, ending the movie crying. Movie just randomly ends and you now have to figure out who the new characters are, not that it matters as the movie rushes to end the movie.
Overall, I just felt disappointed at the end. I did like the last scene of the fields, it was beautifully done.. which is why I gave it 5, not 4.
Art saves it, story is a mess. If you shed tears during emotional scenes easily (like I do), you'll do here as well. But don't mistake those tears for quality. Those tears are NOT quality tears.

Did.. did the protagonist just get cucked by the anime staff?
I don't care much about "harem" anime. The whole reason I watched it, because it seemed like a chill farming isekai anime. But it has a harem bit going on, so whatever, I'm not offended by it, no matter how unrealistic the harem bit looks in every anime ever (maybe 2 exceptions).
This anime was going fine. Art is good, things move along just fine, generic music and SFX, not really any complaints. I wasn't expecting an Oscar winning story and characters, but the characters were fine.
The thing is, for a "harem" anime, the protagonist acted
...
like his dick was left behind on Earth while he was isekai'd to another world. He shows no interest in girls practically begging him to breed their entire civilization, and goes out of his way to create separate baths where he can be alone, maybe with kids later on. But sex? I gave up on the guy ever getting it on, since viagra was something he still hadn't asked anyone to research, unlike Miso and vinegar. Perfectly normal, for a Japanese guy I guess.
Then in the 7th episode out of 12 episodes, suddenly the vampire is pregnant. I had to double-check, in-case I missed an episode where they showed a budding romance, forget actual fucking. SPOILERS: They didn't.
Vampire and the protagonist have the chemistry of a rock. Just a rock. Nothing else. An uninteresting rock.
But apparently, they were banging behind the scenes and she was the first one his missing dick impregnated.
Don't think for a second I actually wanted to see them bang. Nothing is more uninteresting to me than hentai or cartoon porn. I don't give a flying fuck about it. BUT, at-least for plot purpose, show them actually have something romantic going on between them. You have 12 fucking episodes of a guy who was sick in his previous life, coming up with culinary delights which you definitely haven't seen in every fucking anime ever. But sex? Romance? He never wanted that, he wanted to cook and farm while lying on hospital bed in his previous life. So I guess no need to show something as boring as "romance" when the character can waste time till the FUCKING END OF THE SHOW talking about how aged and bottled wine would taste amazing.
Dafuq is this?
I would've given this show 7/10 up until episode 7 when the vampire got pregnant giving birth to Isekai Jesus (only explanation of pregnancy). 5/10 now just because of the cucked MC who spent more time demanding men be sent to his village cause "there were too many women". If you ever wondered why Japan suffers from low birth rates, then the writer of this anime is the perfect example of why.

Is it just me or do they not exactly clarify what they do for a living?
Maybe I forgot, because I started watching this anime last year and only now finished watching it. But it feels like everything they do is just vague, "Did you file that paper?" or "I have a presentation with client." stuff most anime do, trying to make it look like they do something.
Anyway, THAT bit aside, this anime is just OK. The height joked got old after the first episode, so the rest of the show wasn't left with anything else. There are no exciting encounters, no fan service, setting is
...
just regular Japan and the relationship between MC and her "senpai" feels platonic.
Really, it feels like the writer had a loli fetish.. a loli working a serious job in drab business clothes. That's why the anime exists. Either that or it's supposed to be propaganda to show how exciting generic office work in Japan is (because all those people committing suicides definitely aren't good PR).
I can't even talk much about anything. This anime has nothing going on for it. The art is alright, music.. who cares, ambience is dead like every other anime and script is shit with jokes as exciting as watching paint dry.
I'll give it 5/10.
It's just a generic slice of boring work life anime which you can finish in one setting, or like me, in two years because it's meh. They didn't even had a good ending in mind. It just ends with a generic episode that somehow felt more generic than the rest of the show.

I know this exists to prepare you for season 2 and all, but.. why is it so bad?
Couldn't even be arsed to make it interesting? No character stands out, nothing interesting happens. In-fact, whole episode could've been summarised as 2-3 flashbacks in a regular episode.
While we're at it, the art is just awful compared to the first season. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come with season 2. Kinda like how "Shield Hero" season two ended up being ultimate garbage, I am hoping this show doesn't go down the same road.
Anyway, you can watch this if you're dying to know
...
the most generic backstory in existence.
5/10 - Because it's still part of the lore, just not very good part.

The fact that they didn't start this series with an actual origin story, turning episode 1 into a prequel movie, should tell you what kind of shit-show you're dealing with here.
At-least this movie is slightly better than the actual series, probably because Tatsuya isn't surrounded by a harem constantly jacking him off, worshiping his every move. The annoying as shit sister, with the personality of a loli-incest fuck-doll made in Japan, is less annoying, at-least until she begins her incestuous brother worship by the end of the movie.
Art is the same as the show, nothing mind blowing happening here. Art was never the issue
...
with this series. The comedic background music track that plays over everything that the director thinks is "cool" in the series, is missing from the movie, which is a welcome surprise.
Plot, however, remains a shitshow.
The fact that even in the backstory, the origin story, Tatsuya is still an OP demigod, doesn't help. In good Isekai shows, the protagonist starts weak and gets stronger. But this fucking show refuses to make the protagonist weak, even in the origin story. The hack writer who came up with this dribble as an excuse to simp on a fictional loli, probably finds it hard to get off without the power fantasy being ON 24/7.
I guess since this is the origin story, it didn't give the writer enough time to offload his pointlessly detailed explanations on run-of-the-mill magic spells that every other fucking fantasy hero just.. casts, without going into hour long explanations. So that's another piece of good news.
If you were expecting something exciting in Tatsuya's past though, don't. A generic harem Isekai with a generic story being given top rating on this site by thirsty fanbase. That's all this show is.
5/10
Watch this before season one btw. There isn't anything that acts as a spoiler for season one.
