Straight to the point: I have never seen anything animated this badly. I just finished episode 9 and decided to drop this.
The story is not good. The character writing is bad. The animation is horrible. I don't care for the sound design.
So why I watched this so far? I think the only potential it has is the easy going feel-good aspect of it all. Nothing bad happens in it. Which also means no real development happens in any meaningful way.
To put it in other words: this story and this show is meaningless. It's useless, it doesn't have anything to say or convey.

Yes fucking finally! I so so so hope they don't ruin this.
(I haven't read the manga, I have no idea what's gonna happen next) Finally this show sees some actual progress! The latest season before this was quite good but this could the season that turns the show back to the bright side after the unimaginably boring 2nd and 3rd seasons. 4 episodes in and this has been the most entertaining this show has been since the first season. The latest season was also okey but the emo Yukio wasn't for me. The build up wasn't very good. But this gives it context (hopefully) so ... Jan 27, 2025

This anime is the peak of 'Mixed feelings' recommendation.
I think it can be said that it is quite good quality production, the animation is good, the voice acting is good, the sound design is good... And yet the writing gives me a headache. The pacing. Oh my god what the hell?! What is the pacing of this show? I can't put it in a box. It sort of rushes the plot around the characters here and there, constantly. But then again it kinda gives time for the little moments for the romance to take root. But then again all the decisions made by ... Jan 27, 2025
This is, no doubt, THE powerfantasy the anime.
The good things first. The animation, the battle choreography. Goddddamn they are good and nice to watch. Almost every fight scene is amazing, even when a bit monotonous. And I kinda like the soundtrack. Those things are no doubt, great. The bad things. The writing is not amazing, it's decent, but not amazing. I absolutely hate it, when the MC is somehow oblivious to being suddenly the hottest character in the entire town. No way could he be that stupid for someone who suddenly got super smart or whatever. All the characters are so amazingly in awe ... Dec 21, 2024

Finally something's happening in this series again!
The last seasons after the first one were kind of a let down, but in this season stuff started to happen. Of course it wasn't perfect and there were a couple of things that annoyed me like some of the sidestories took unnecessary detours like they have a habit of taking. What I didn't realize missing was the good heartfelt drama! Now there finally is progression with character arcs and A CHANGE that I'm interested in is finally happening. Mixed feelings since I wouldn't recommend the last two seasons but they are needed to understand this one. They ... Nov 24, 2024

No idea what I just watched but I think I liked it!
Once in a blue moon the Crunchyroll site recommends something I haven't already seen. The episodes were short, something like 3 minutes but they managed to fit in just enough things in one episode to feel like I was watching something that was progressing. Even tho the point of this show is definitely not to present a linear (or even coherent) storyline. I like how the characters are written, but I didn't like how they were designed. The art style is shit. And the whole production quality is quite low so visually nothing ... Apr 25, 2024

Halfway in, and so far it's easily one of the best series of the season.
It's like the writer found everything that's trending and mushed it all together, AND SUCCEEDED! The writing is brilliant, I don't find myself missing anything from the story or the character development. The story progresses nicely, while giving the best of cooking sequences in the middle of it all. And most refreshing thing of them all: Everything makes sense! Every motive for every character is explained and it all makes sense. The world also! I saw some reviews complaining that Marcille is annoying but imo if every other character is weird ...

This has so much potential but it blows it.
I imagine if I was a teenager watching this I'd be over the moon by the character and world designs, which are kinda cool but corny as hell. And so is the writing. The story is easy and straightforward which is good, but there are no sequences where things would get explained. I had no time to get invested in the characters or in the world, which is a shame since the world seems really interesting. There were short sequences where they explained some of the world but then they threw another twist in the mix ... Apr 13, 2024
This show reminded me of the shows I watched when I was a teenager. Somehow I felt really nostalgic about this. Saw myself in my old room watching this and eating snacks and forgetting the anxiousness of life.
The story is decent and the writing is solid. It feels like the writers know what the story needs to do and where it is supposed to go. It does have some slower parts but even then I never felt bored. The animation is amazing. The fighting scenes are well choreographed and the visual effects are stunning. At first I was a bit wary of the character ... Mar 31, 2024

Stupid story, stupid characters, stupid tits, stupid everything.
Obviously the only ''appeal'' of this show is that it's R-rated and you can see dem tiddies. I see no other reason to want to watch this show. But, since the art style and the animation are so horrible you only feel disappointed and betrayed. Not worth it. The boobs suck, the story and the characters suck. Don't bother. Every single one of the characters are so fucking dumb!? Why? What drives one to write and create such a dull set of characters? The MC is easily one of the most useless characters in a while.
