There's more drama than a K-drama! I felt the cringe so bad on this show. You'll know when you get to the cringes. It was difficult to even watch some of the MC's outbursts. There are no spoilers in this review because it literally says on the show description "Aoi decides to assist him in succeeding in what she calls the greatest game of them all." Taken straight from MAL itself I only elaborate on the "Game of Life" and MC being a "Tackfam" friendless gamer. Tackfam is basically the anime equivalent of Smash Bros. I only elaborated on Aoi helping Tomozaki in the game
...
of life/friends/social stuff. It's already there in the MAL show description and there are no specific details or spoilers.
I don't like the plot or characters at all. The idea of "changing yourself" to fit into some social norm is the very opposite of modern day society. People have been working hard to promote "self acceptance" and being yourself. But this show undermines all of that. It demonstrates a beta male trying to "fix himself" because a woman told him to. Said woman who blindly insults him heavily without even trying to get to know him. Main female character is extremely disrespectful and only cares about the status quo. MC is talked into being more "normal" and I severely disagree with the idea of changing yourself to someone else's ideals.
So yeah, story and characters are dreadful in my opinion. The entire base for this story is terrible. I genuinely hope the MC gets a mind of his own and starts thinking for himself. And maybe one day he can leave the girl in the dust or tell her off because she deserves it. After their first meeting you can see exactly what type of person the girl is. I don't care if she has "pride", that's no excuse for her to be disrespectful to other people.
The only saving graces are the smooth artwork and the potential for the MC to develop into a thoughtful person that can have his own opinion and be himself. But I doubt that is going to happen unfortunately and I'm not going to hold my breath.

It's a bit difficult to write an accurate review for this one. The reason is that despite how much cringe there is, there are genuinely comical moments. It's like there were two different authors working on the script and one had a great sense of humor while the other had a horrible sense of humor. It's almost as if two different writers were coming up with jokes and gags.
The story seems like there is something there, but possibly just nothing. It's quite bland on it's own and very cliche. OP mc and naive is a horrible combination. I never thought I could enjoy a show
...
and hate it at the same time. There is simply no good direction to the story and it's just a dump for gag comedy. The art work reminds me of Merc Storia a bit.
Characters are pretty bland and cliche. I don't think there's much depth if any. Everything and everyone is pretty much just at face value. I am slightly curious about the other character from the MC's village and the possibility of him having a major impact on the plot. But I can't say it will be for the better or worse.
I would probably give this show a 2 for it's cringe but a 7 for it's occasional enjoyment. Overall maybe a 5.

2/10 Absolutely one of the worst trash I've ever watched.
What we expected? A unique and interesting story. What we got? A sexed up cringe-fest where each episode is even more cliche and nonsense than the last. I convinced myself it was worth watching because after all, it must be good enough to get 24 episodes right? Nope. I've found so many holes, random bs that doesn't make any sense and etc etc. Also, haven't heard Rihito say 'ore' a single time... His character is terribly flawed and he's a hypocrite molester that turns beta as soon as a woman makes a move on him.
I was
...
only able to grind to the end because I thought it would be over after a long 24 episodes... but there's no way I'm watching S2.
Story: So many plotholes and inconsistencies. 3/10
-also, 7 magic balls that grant wishes? wtf man how cringe-copy can you get
Art: I actually like the art for the most part. It's vibrant and smooth, except for the occasional wierd animations. 7/10
Sound: One of the worst OST ever. The cheesiest bgm instrumentals. 1/10
Characters: Mediocre at best. Almost always cringe-worthy. So many levels of stupidity and nonsense. 5/10
Enjoyment: It was dreadful. 2/10
Overall: 2/10

It's stupid, but in a good way. Quirky and full of gags. Some references. Mostly episodic and plotless. But funny nonetheless. If you don't like the humor in the first couple episodes it's probably not for you. No need to write an extensive review. Just a light rom-com slice of life without much of the rom. Overall worth watching.
Plot is pretty basic to non-existant. Artwork is colorful and vibrant. Music is decent. Characters are not bland but not deep because it's a laid back rom-com. Only a slight bit of drama in the last couple of episodes but nothing too serious. Had to stretch
...
review to meet minimum quota.

The anime follows the story up to the third LN volume. The ending is original because they decided to give the show closure instead of leaving it on a cliffhanger.
Basically, the entire show is about Heavy Objects waging war on the battlefield. Havia and Gwenthur are made to fight against large meccha objects. There is a mention of human-like objects in production (gundam?) but I don't know if the story is going in that direction. The anime wasn't able to adapt the source material at the time and I have not read the LN yet so I cannot confirm or deny this and thus can't
...
be a spoiler.
Essentially, Havia is a radio analyst and Gwenthur is a designer student. They aren't even real troops but are expected to destroy Objects somehow even though nobody has ever done it before. The idea is to either exploit some type of weakness or just get really really lucky. Gwenthur isn't even authorized to have a gun because he's a "student" yet is authorized to carry tons of plastic explosives and fight against massive war machines that can withstand nukes. Army sends him to fight wars and expects him to do great things but he can't even be allowed to hold a gun despite risking his life and authorizing use of things 1000x more dangerous than guns. Yeah makes sense.
Enough with that gripe. The anime was actually pretty good. I don't like meccha or war anime much at all but this one felt a bit unique and I liked it overall. The story became redundant and every time Havia or Gwenthur said they didn't want something to happen it's like raising flags that it will. Overall the plot is increasingly predictable but still pretty satisfying somehow nonetheless.
Music is good, artwork is colorful and vibrant and characters are good. There is a bit of comedy as well. Overall worth watching and would recommend.

Plot is mediocre at best. Heavy on drama and anxiety. Just Ayano's mother alone is enough to make me dislike the anime. I don't have much tolerance for terrible parenting and I certainly don't enjoy watching characters traumatized for no good reason.
It would be better if it just focused on the sports/slice of life aspect but the whole mind-broken little heroine girl concept just drags down the whole feel of the anime. Rather than emotion and character depth, the whole show just feels like a long dragged out pity party.
It's watchable, but just barely. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone even if they were bored
...
and had too much free time on their hands. The artwork and music is good and there are some good aspects. However the over-dramatic trauma and pity significantly outweighs the good aspects.

This is just too much drama even for a drama. I expected a light slice of life/comedy with potential plot but got one large dragged out ball of drama and anxiety.
This whole anime is one big run on lecture. It seems like this was just a place to dump a lot of preaching to young adults about how to live life and be happy. Everybody is a hypocrite and likes to lecture each other about things they just realized while simultaneously not practicing what they preach. Every episode is sporadic and the plot is all over the place.
The plot is left completely unexplained. Balloon
...
vine is a cringy name. You don't know why anything is happening and never will. This is one of those instances where an anime just chalks things up to "phenomenon" and never explains anything. The ending was not very satisfying and overall this wasn't worth watching.
All things being said, I do like the art and ost. I convinced myself that the anime would have a proper explanation for the plot to keep watching but was let down in the end. If the art wasn't colorful and the music was worse I would not have been able to grind the 17 episodes which is too long and dragged out in my opinion.

The story is pretty basic. A little too cliche for my preference. Even though anime is almost always fiction-based, the characters act even more unrealistic than is believable. The story writing is barely passable at best.
The assassin's last name is Vampir. Use your imagination. After all, apparently lycanthropes in this anime are skinny pumpkin heads that just so happen to all look exactly the same. Cookie cutter at it's best (worst?)
From the fanbase I hear the anime was changed. It's probably best to read the manga or ln instead. Too many details were said to be left out. Art is nice but mostly dark and
...
gloomy. Op/Ed not bad. Characters are too unrealistic. Overall a mediocre 6/10 at best as an anime.

I advise reading the LN instead. Several aspects seem to have been changed which includes censorship and alterations to the manga as a result. The length of this review directly reflects the number of flaws.
The manga is generic, cliche and sometimes cringe worthy. The concept of Chunibyou is taken way too far. I think the main character is perfectly fine as he is. He doesn't need to "grow up" and everybody is much too critical of him. He is heavily lectured and critiqued for being too nice, naive, arrogant, conceited etc. The problem is he has faced danger many times and is already quite aware
...
but everyone treats him like a child. The 'daydreamer' attitude is heavily exaggerated and I don't even think it's a problem but I guess everyone must bash on the mc and this is the main focus of the story so far. He doesn't have a single goal in the world and every chapter is aimless.
The plot drags, comedy is not even funny, romance is practically non existent and mc is the type to refuse good women literally offering themselves to him. He's willing to sleep with a random prostitute he never met but unwilling to sleep other individuals (one of whom actually 'life energy' to live). If he won't accept a cute girl he has affection for and clearly lusts after who also loves him who the heck will he accept? He seems determined to remain a virgin/single for life but didn't have any problem trying to sleep with random unknown prostitute that has no background. Even worse he works so hard for his waifu he doesn't even seem to care about. Why even bother helping her and treating her in a way she will misunderstand if you're just going to ignore her advances forever? I am annoyed by this MC's lack of emotional and/or physical attachment to anyone or anything. He tries to sneak out to sleep with a random prostitute while also rejecting honest women he has mutual bonds with that are more than willing.
Also too many flying judo kicks with lame names he makes up on the spot. Mc just wants to copy fighting he saw in anime.
I'll gloss over his succubus unbirth in ch1 where we immediately learn he inherits power but not blood from his 'mother'. That's kind of cheating to only get power despite still remaining physiologically human. Author couldn't decide to make him human or succubus so I guess gave mc all the benefits with none of the drawbacks so he could have overpowered plot armor. I can only say I am disappointed.
It is hinted that there is some sort of significance about him being left in the forest in Ch1 but after 40ch the story is still dragging and hasn't bothered explaining.
To sum everything up... Every single chapter just drags, MC is beta male with typical "Nice Guy" concept taken way too far, he doesn't have to will to romance or sleep with anybody, he's OP because why not, cliche story is cliche, there is no clear story so far. It seems the manga will just meander chapter by chapter aimlessly until the author decides what he actually wants to do with the story.

This last paragraph is a semi-spoiler/analysis and can be skipped. I left this because it took some time to backwards calculate this nonsense so I left it for the end. There seems to be a flaw in the time line of unbirths and it brings several concerns. The below reasoning is based on the assumption that there were few or no twins, multi births, maternity period is 1 second not 9 months and the woman didn't have multiple husbands and/or children concurrently based on her personality.
The problem with the "26 other children" the mother had is that succubus apparently started having children 150 years ago because that was the reason she quit her adventuring. Therefore MC is 16 and so she had been having children for 134 years up until MC's "unbirth". Problem is MC was a special case for being extremely OP for his age and he was about 16 when she thought he was strong enough to survive on his own. Logically speaking her other children should probably be like 18 or 20 at least if they are not OP like MC. Therefore the second to last child born (the 26th) was probably at least around 20 years old to be gone when the suc mother found our MC. Problem is that means she had children from 150 years ago until 20 (26th child) + 16 (mc) years ago. This means that she had given birth 26 times from 150 years ago until 36 years ago so in other words 26 births in 114 years. That equals one child every 4.38 years on average. The problem is her life energy needs are met by being a "mother" so she should logically be giving birth every 15-20 years or so or maybe 12? Since when MC was around 12-14 she started wanting to have sex with him. Still this either means that at any given time she had been raising at least 3-4 children at a time. For example 0 yrs old 4.4 years old 8.8 years old 13.2 years old 17.6 years old so on. Based on the manga I can't even see that as possible or ever happening. It seems almost all of the "children" of hers are different races and it would be weird if the fathers of these children every 4.38 years continued to leave her knowing she needs continuous "fulfillment" so she fends for herself by finding new partners but also weird if she just continues to cast the fathers away or gets a new person to cheat with about every 4.38 years or so. Even more so the fact that 26 babies just happen to be abandoned in a dangerous forest that people don't even go to in the first place let alone bring babies. Makes no sense. No matter which way you think of it, having fathers that abandon the suc mother or that the suc mother abandons seems weird. But also not having fathers and having such an unlikely baby abandoned 26 times in a forest nobody even knows about/enters much if at all within 114 years of time is beyond unlikely. No way 26 babies managed to find their way to her in a distant A+ class forest within 114 years time and why she would have babies at a rate of one per 4.38 years on average when she can last at least 12 years from "motherly love substitution" makes no sense. I find too many things about this concept of 26 children to be illogical and make no sense and she doesn't seem like the type of person who could continuously and responsibly raise multiple children for over a century straight with how naive and irresponsible she is yet too caring to have cast her various children away. I find the thought of her raising on average 3+ children at any given time preposterous yet also the idea of only raising one at a time as that would take at least 400-500 years if she did. It's only suppose to be 134 years for 26 children or 150 years for 27 children. Looking at how the 27th children took at least 16 years then 26 children before theoretically would be 416 years if they were raised individually one at a time and let go of parenting early because they happened to be as OP as our MC (stated that our MC is an extreme case of OP so this should not be possible). Again in best case scenario mother had a child about every 4.38 years on average which is VERY EXTREMELY UNLIKELY just from the feeling I get from the manga. No matter how you spin it, none of this concept of 26 children makes sense nor how said children are also very old/have long life spans because why not.

I did not like this manga as can be seen with the score I gave it. It is an isekai. This is the only semi-spoiler in this review and I genuinely believe you have the right to know that. Manga nowadays literally have isekai tag for genre and to be honest the world setting was completely fine and unique on it's own. There was absolutely no need to make it an isekai and dropping that bomb so late in the manga completely ruined the unique setting and feel. Moreover it had virtually no bearing on the story whatsoever. Essentially a pointless isekai trope for no
...
reason.
I would describe this manga as false advertising. Despite the plot revolving around becoming happy it is much closer to a semi-tragedy. This is not as light-hearted like the plot summary and first several chapters would have you believe. Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into if you decide to read this manga. If you are offended by darker topics this is not a good manga for you. Nor me. I didn't appreciate the sheer amount of darkness and corruption in this story.
Story:
Initially fair and unique until the plot takes a generic turn. The plot is about the mc pledging to live her own life and become happy. Her goal is to be independent and self-supporting while the hero is tasked with defeating the demon king.
Characters:
The mc is very indecisive and self contradicting despite her pledge to be happy. Other characters act in unrealistic ways and lack common sense. I find many flaws with the way characters think or act. The safety of our female protagonist is severely neglected. She is put in many harmful or dangerous situations for various reasons, almost none of which make sense. I have many concerns with the characters and how they act. Many of the problems could have, and should have been resolved very differently.
One specific character is apparently too powerful to help in a problematic situation. I find this to be a poor plot device. There are many problems with the story once this character is introduced and explained. This is the most vague I can explain without spoilers.
Overall:
Barely passable until ~ch15 when plotholes and fundamental errors in the story become apparent.
I can only give this a 1/10.
