This might be the biggest surprise of an anime for a very long time. How I attended an All-Guy's Mixer is not the kind of anime you'd probably think it turns out to be. An extremely wholesome and surprise surprise, absolute zero drama in it. A very enjoyable and also funny anime to watch for you all who enjoy cute but also funny facial expressions and just slow college kind of life, with a little bit of alcohol mixed in.

I went in blindly, thinking maybe like you, that this would be the typical rom-com with a stupid love-drama kind of like situations we've gotten to ... know for the last decade when it comes to rom-coms. Those cringe series can go straight to the trash can 'cause this one has arised and has zero drama in it, and I absolutely loved this. The facial expressions, which happens very often, the smooth talks and hidden flirts here and there, you'll realize that suddenly the episode is over. One character has trouble settling his heart while one other is just the same and a third is, kind of like a child inside of a college student.

Animation wise, I have no idea what you'd call this kind of animation. There are different facial expressions where they basically are missing a mouth or just kind of like having a plain "durr" kind of like face, and I loved it. Of course it's not a flash game animation but still smooth and rich and full of colour.
Sound wise, I enjoyed both the opening and ending but also the characters voices were smooth with no irritating voice acting where it's high pitched and screams. There are some screams here though, but not loud ones and not the kind you'd cover your ears for. It's a male version of a "kyaaa" scream we can hear in some later episodes which makes this entire thing even more funnier than your regular rom-com. The opening is quite good but the ending though could get a little more work in.

Overall, a very big surprise of an anime for me. Comedy wise and story wise, I truly enjoyed this series. As a person who enjoyes comedy anime with funny, cute facial expressions, this one has them all and I am very happy that I didn't skip this and I hope you won't either. Definetively a rewatch anime when there's nothing else going on and you have a lot of time and want to watch something you can smile to. Score wise, a solid 9/10 kind of like series which is funny, wholesome and somehow, yes, can even melt your heart a little bit. I for once, truly hope for more seasons of this series.

This review reflects on both season one and two.
A very surprisingly, both funny and educational anime of farming in Hokkaido, Japan, from the creator of Silver Spoon and Fullmetal Alchemist and many more. We'll get to know the manga author, who tells real life stories, or memoirs, of her time as a farmers kid in rural Japan before she went to pursue her manga career. Like brown bears or other animals attacking or destroying the crops. This is basically what this series is all about. Just some good old plain but funny short real life story telling moments of a manga creators youth and experience.

Animation ... wise, there are some still shots and not that high quality animation in this series but don't let that scare you off. The cow, being the author, is very cute and her entire family is portrayed as cows and the animals, farming equipment and nature is very well drawn and animated. Quite surprised by this to be honest.
Sound wise, I found the yelling of the characters funny and enjoyable since it's not high pitched and doesn't make you want to cover you ears. Despite being story telling, the talk and explaining went very quickly but the voice acting was still very good.

Overall, these both seasons are very short, only a few minutes each episode and I honestly wish it was at least twice the lenght. I truly enjoyed the facial expressions, the actions of the characters and just the series being very informative and giving a lot of information on farming in Hokkaido. It also was very educational, despite me not knowing almost anything about farming. Please give this short series a try if you enjoy comedy and educational anime with good story telling of real life and issues of farming in Hokkaido and possible other places as well.
A very well deserved 8/10 on both seasons and we already received the info of a third season on it's way. What a joyous day.

Oy, so I met this old white dude who summoned me while I tried to escape the summoning circle by any means necessary.
My classmates took all the good skills but they don't know how to survive so I'll take my "villager A-set" skill and show them
what's what!
This is basically what this anime is all about... and it's quite wrong in my opinion.
The source material should come and use the skill "subjugate" on this anime to show who's the boss.

Enjoyment:
I like weird faces and "stare" faces. Weird character reactions and more. i found many parts that Haruka did and his way of
talking to himself as ... well as he's inability to actually remember his classmates names and comes up with weird nicknames for them.
There's not much I can explain about the enjoyment to be honest.
If you like fantasy, comedy and isekai, at least give this a try. Maybe you enjoy it more that you thought.

Animation and sound:
The animation felt a little too much "stay still" animation compared to a more smooth flow of it. Or they focused more on the character than the background, which could be just some kind of blue or green blur. There is still nice smooth flowing water animation here and there and more. I enjoyed the "stare" or "jiiii", still animation from the girls towards Haruka. The CGI or 3D or whatever you call it, monsters were not that bad though. When there's a lot of characters in a series, it might feel like a pain to animate them all moving and doing whatever in the background etc. Happens with twenty + characters.
The sound overall was not bad from this anime. OP and ED were quite good. Voice acting though was not what I expected
for Haruka. It was not what I had thought he'd sound like but we can't always get what we want. The girls did sound quite good though. Monster sounds or voices was not that bad either.

Personal opinion:
To be honest, as someone who's currently also reading the light novels. I was very happy to hear that this, one of my
favorite light novel series, would get an adaption. But after watching this, hmm, what can I say but "sigh" wish they'd
actually adapt it well. A lot of stuff was skipped.
Really a fast forwarded anime and they could have done this a lot better which I can only give it a score of at least 7/10. But still having mixed feelings about this.

The artwork is amazingly well done on female characters. The curves of the female body is generously drawn and even the town or village or just the environment they are in, is really good looking. The erotic scenes in here are also very detailed with obvious censoring on some parts. We can only assume the author really took the time to focus on these pieces. When looking at the males though, why is there a freak in there? Of course some nice pretty boy can show up but there ain't many of them.

With the genre being Erotica, I knew what I was searching for and ... honestly got excited knowing I could buy the physical copies of this manga for men of culture to have on my shelf looking nice. Boy what a series this honestly is. Erotica? More like straight up h*ntai. If I'm gonna be real honest, I for sure ain't reading this for the plot anymore. Does this even have one to begin with? I was so sucked into this great female artwork that I honestly straight up seem to have even forgotten what is happening and is supposed to happen. Sure, we can read the text as well but it doesn't help much when literally every page has your eyes glued on something else instead of the text you're supposed to read.

Being seven volumes in this series, I can not stop reading this anymore due to the nice stuff.
Giving a quite generous score for now despite the series is not over but again, this is all because of the nice artwork "wink wink", but the story should really have been a little more better made. So for now, we'll have it at 6/10 but don't let that scare you of.
Go check the nice artwork and hopefully, you'll be stuck in this as much as I am.

The animation was mediocre or said, the same as many others. Quite nice magical moves and artwork. Don't care much for Date's eyes being weird though. The music and back round sound was good with opening. The ending could have been made better. Voice acting and other sounds could have been done a bit better but we can't always have what we want.

Quite the weak series in my opinion but I'm glad I didn't skip this. Grandfather being weird and despite there being very cute but massive bears called Kuma Kaijin, it does not raise my opinion of this series. Chroma being absolutely useless was ... quite funny though. His magic doesn't last long at all.
Comedy wise, the bears got most of my attention. They were cute and Chrome being the way he was was enjoyable but that was basically it.

Overall, I think this was as said earlier, quite weak series. There were too few comedy parts despite being a comedy but this is obviously a personal matter. I feel like the cute Kuma Kaijin bears could have had more screen time which might have raised my own score for this. It will have to stay at somewhere around 6/10 for me but don't let me stop you from watching this. If you've watched Gushing over Magical Girls, give this a chance.

This review reflects on both season one and two.
We'll start with a small plot here. Who ever has heard of a dragon who only eats vegetables and other non-animal, meatless foods? I sure have not. This Herbivore Dragon, is also very weak and can even get beat up by a bunny. But let's not talk about that. This series is all about traveling and meeting new people, also beat them up. But it's not this kind loving dragon who does that, no, it's his new, self acclaimed disciple, Reiko, who happens to somehow get the calamity kind of like powers our kind dragon should have.

First ... season for me was very enjoyable with a lot of humor and funny moments. This second season however, focused more on the story and had more dramatic feel to it. Also a lot more action packed which might suit others who didn't care much for season one. Since if season one wasn't that good or funny to you, then this second season might do justice.

Audio and animation;
Watching this series with Chinese audio, it felt kind of weird. But it was funny either way. I highly recommend you to try it.
I enjoyed the animation. Smooth running and well animated. Our friendly dragons walking did seem funny.
If there was, I for sure didn't notice any 3D or CGI. Even if there actually might have been some. The magic flowing through the screen were something that looked cool in a dark room.

Overall, this short twelve minute per episode series does not waste much of your time. I for sure though first that twelve minutes was too little in the first season but almost too long here in this second one. The story seems to be going further so hopefully we'll
see even a third season. I'll be sure to tune in if I notice it arriving.

Score wise, since I really enjoyed the first season but the second season was a little too action packed and did not have a lot of comedy. I'd give this one a very generous 7/10 score with the first and second season combined Since I gave the first season an 8/10 and this one 6/10.
Friendly reminder, this is my first ever review, please forgive me for typos etc and thank you for reading.
