Jin-woo is back and he is climbing his way up the ranks, now with his newly risen shadow army.

In this season do we follow Jin-woo in moving up the ranks, while he starts to interact with the higher influenced people in Korea. This brings on new and stronger opponents and allies, as he looks towards curing his mother and conquering new enemies.

The plot of the show goes through multiple arcs of the story, with some being shorter ones and others longer, which together builds upon the previous season. These arcs starts bringing us deeper into the lore of the world and pushes characters to new ... limits, while introducing new faces to the cast. The plot still focuses around Jin-woo and his journey, so while the plot does highlight some stuff developing in the world, are most plot centered around Jin-woo. All of this results in a very linear story which is easy to follow but is not one with many twists and turns.

When it comes to the characters do we have the same tendencies as the previous season, which is high focus on Jin-woo and only a little time to the side characters. But even though we mostly see Jin-woo, does it not mean we don't get any progression on him. We see him having to face different situations, realise how he has changed and need to figure out his new priorities, though it could have been done with more detail so it would have had a greater impact. We also do get some more focus on the side characters, compared to the previous season, so we see more of their abilities and personality. But overall is it still mostly a one man show, with the occasional side characters to support him through the season.

Looking at the animation and art style of the show, are they as good as the first season. They do not hold back on any part, the detail level is high both in the high speed action scenes and outside of them. Which helps supporting each an every aspect of the show.

One thing that is important to note, is that the show puts a lot of focus on action, with many other aspects lacking behind. This is not necessarily bad, since it was like this in the previous season, but it is a choice and can be important to remember before watching this season.

So, overall is it a great continuation to the show, with it keeping the same level as the previous season and building upon what came before. So if you liked the previous season can I only recommend watching this.

To go from being the only one able to visit a fantasy world in your dreams, to suddenly bringing an elf girl with you back to japan, certainly is a wonderful surprise.

In Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf, are we following Kazuhiro and Mariabelle, one being a man from japan and the other a female elf from a fantasy world. With them do we switch between two different aspects of the show, one being a more slice of life style and the other a classic fantasy adventure. But it is bound together by our two main characters.

The plot of the show is also very much tied ... to the two different aspects of it, with it giving two different plotlines to follow, one in each world with a little bit of overlap. This could easily give a very confused plotline or a lackluster one, but the show knows how to fuse them. The way they fuse the two plotlines is by keeping it fairly simple, not in a bad way, but in a way that makes it easy to follow and digest. This combination of the plotlines helps keep the plot fresh and comfortable to watch, which pairs well up with the rest of the show.

Character wise is the focus very much on the two main characters, with some focus on specific side characters. The main characters really ties the show together, since they are the ones that travel between the worlds, this also gives room for the characters to evolve and be affected on multiple fronts. For the progression of the two of them is it a very predictable progression, but still a nice one at that, they each learn and adapt in the two worlds, and slowly push their own relationship forward. The side characters are not too detailed, but are paid the amount of detail needed for them to support the show and the main characters. It is really the two main characters that actually influence the story and live up to what is expected, while the rest of the cast just fill out their roles.

The show as a whole is very much a relaxed show and made to be comfortable to watch, which is very well made with the fusion and switch between the two aspects. This is also supported by having characters that learn more about their worlds and are developing a deeper connection, while still keeping it all light and fun to watch.

So overall is this a great watch, especially if you want something more relaxed and light to watch, if that is so I would definitely recommend watching this anime.

It really is odd when the arrogant villainess suddenly becomes very kind and polite, but it is also very rare that a 52-year old man is isekaid into being a villainess.

In From Bureaucrat to Villainess, do we follow Kenzaborou, who has been isekaid into the body of the young noble lady Grace. Which brings a lot of change to the world around Grace, since she suddenly has the memory of a man that is loving a father, hard worker, and just has a lot of life experience. The story also really takes a twist, since he realizes it is the world from his daughter's otome ... game.

The plot of the show follows a lot of common tropes from villainess isekais, but is greatly twisted by having an unorthodox main character for this genre. As a whole is the plot very much pushed forward by the main character, with their personality doing most of that. This gives a story that keeps making twists away from what is expected, while slowly building a bigger plot up in the background. Which results in most of the show having a story that goes episode by episode instead of larger plot arcs, which has a refreshing effect to it.

The characters in the show are very much straight forward, with them showing their individual character types right off the bat, and then staying in that line. It is only really the main character that sees some degree of progression, but that is based around them getting more used to the fantasy world and learning their culture. The side characters are sadly very lackluster with them barely seeing any change as the season progresses, which results in them seeming very plain. So pure character wise is the show being carried by the main character, with just some support from the side characters.

But what really makes this show unique though, is the whole idea of having a 52-year old man in a teenage girl's body. This is in no way done in a creepy way, and is instead used to show how some plotlines are solved in an instant by an actual adult, while others become harder since they are hard for him to relate to. Which gives the show its uniqueness and helps make the show seem fresh and appealing, since they do play with tropes in a way most can’t do.

So overall it is a great watch, that gives a refreshing look at the villainess trope, but I would only watch it for the concept, plot and not hope for any larger character arcs. Therefore, if you want a refreshing and unique look at the villainess trope, can i only recommend watching this anime.

We are moving into the future with more drama, action, romance and maybe some more death and trauma to Subaru!

In the third season we once again follow, Subaru, Emilia and their allies as they travel to a city where new threats arise. The season follows the developing events through the whole city as all the different characters meet and face new conflicts. With each perspective is the understanding of this fantasy world expanding and the plot thickening.

The plot of the season is covering one major arc that brings up lots of different aspects of the characters. The season starts up with the build up and ... reintroduces a lot of people after the one year time skip. It then moves on to conflicts starting to appear, with enemies and allies alike starting to play into the evolving situations. This of course results in confrontations where our heroes most face the enemy. Together does all this give a season that first gives us a connection to the characters and their world around them, before threatening it and putting everything at risk. This draws in the viewer and gets them invested in the story and hungering for what comes next.

For the characters do we see a more broad spectrum of them, with all of them seeing some time in the spotlight. We see different characters as they are faced with both pleasant and terrifying situations they have to overcome, which pushes the characters to evolve. So the season does not give as heavy character progression on the main characters, but is more putting focus on giving room to both main and side characters to progress in their life. This does give another feel compared to the previous seasons, but really helps expanding the world and fleshing out the characters, which is a great addition to the shows future.

The art style and animation for the show has slightly changed for the season, with the characters keeping the same look, but having it tweaked slightly to probably fit more modern options. The colours of the show have been slightly changed with some of them being more vibrant. But overall the animation is still fantastic, with it showing great attention to details and being able to keep up in the high speed fight scenes that are shown.

Overall is this a great continuation of Re:Zero, that both lives up to the previous season and helps carry it into the future. So I can only recommend watching this season if you have watched the previous ones.

Everyone keeps secrets, often at work even, but it's rare that your secret is that your dating your so-called office enemy.

In I Have a Crush at Work, we follow Yui and Masugu, who in everyone's eyes are always at each other's throat, fighting over even small disagreements. But in reality the two of them are dating and slowly building a loving relationship, while trying to avoid the possible drama that would come at the office, if their relationship went public.

It is a very down to earth plot, showing normal struggles for a couple that works at the same company. We see how the job can ... be demanding and stressful, and how a new relationship is full of passion and uncertainty. This gives the show some elements that carry over through the season, while other problems are solved in the episode it shows up in. The show then has a smooth progression, but also doesn’t let a problem hang in the air for too long, while giving the needed details for each plotline. So the plot really shows what an adult life is like, with both job and romance, and is done with a great pace, progression and detail.

The characters are also done with details and clear different personalities. They are made to be normal people, with both flaws and talents, so they have to learn, adapt and compromise. We follow the main couple as they have to learn how to handle some aspects of a relationship and how to deal with situations at work. This gives a nice effect of seeing both the characters individually evolve and their relations evolving with them, which is very satisfying to watch. For the side characters are some of them just there to support the plot and main couple, and thereby doesn’t have much detail to them, while others are shown more attention, becoming a more integral part of the story and has their own progression. The characters overall are done with the right amount of details and individuality, while still keeping their relations realistic, which gives a nice progression for the main couple and certain side characters.

The show is overall very much a down to earth show, which shows aspects of adult life, when it comes to romance and work. It is very enticing to watch, without it being high drama or anything similar. It also keeps a nice balance between art style and the animation, which helps keep the atmosphere of an adult relationship without the high intensive drama, letting the romance be enjoyed by itself.

So if you like romance and especially office romance, can i only recommend this show, since it really is a good romance anime.

It always becomes interesting when two rival teenagers are forced into a marriage by their grandparents, who want to live their fantasy romance through them.

In this show we follow Akane and Saito who are rivals in their high school, where they often have their verbal fights and other disagreements. This dynamic is changed when they are forced together by their grandparents who each use their influence to force the two to become married. Which results in a story filled with conflicts, compromise and understanding.

For the plot of the show does it pace wise very much follow other high school romances, with both characters slowly facing ... their own feelings and each other. What gives the plot its twists is the situation the two characters are forced into with them having to live together while still living their normal high school life. Their individual motivations and backgrounds also have a direct effect on the plot's progression which helps keep the plot fresh. But overall the plot is still comparable to other romances and is not standing out as much, though it is still a nice execution of this type of plot and pleasant to watch.

For the characters, both main characters have their own progression they need to go through and problems to face. Their character progression is keeping up with the pace of the plot, where they make the details of their perspective more clear by having a look into the character's thoughts. They are also helped by the side characters that actually get some of their own background explored and we see some progression for them as well. Which helps make the whole show seem more alive since it’s not isolated to only focus around the two main characters. So the characters are great with them having clear individuality and side characters being built up beside them.

With the amount of female characters in the show it can sometimes seem to be building towards another harem anime, but the show is taking clear steps away from that. This is done with Saito being very clear for the viewers with how he feels for each of the girls and thereby making a very clear distinction between them. But the show could possibly have been helped with another male character. It is also worth to note that Akane is a very clear tsundere with the traits to follow, which is something some viewers don't like.

For the show as a whole, I think it is a great watch if you like high school romance and are not against a tsundere main character. The only true critic really is that the show is fairly similar to other shows in the genre.

From one day being an unappreciated salaryman to suddenly being isekaid into another world, and being placed at the rank of general, can really do some stuff to a person's morale.

In this show we follow Uchimura and often Ulmandra, who both are elite generals in the demon king's realm. We follow them as they struggle with different problems throughout the realm and its neighboring region, where the alternative skills of Uchimura might make the difference. This all gives the show some space to standout in the larger isekai scene and hopefully make it memorable.

When we look at the plot, it builds up around some ... smaller and larger problems that have to be solved to help the characters and realm to move forward. A lot of the plotlines start out as fairly individual threads with no clear connection between them, but as the season progress do the plotlines start to connect and overlap, which helps make the whole plot feeling more connected. Where the plot starts to fall off is the pace and the lack of detail in the individual plotlines, since a lot of them feel like they could have had more time to bloom. If the plots had gotten more time to be build up and delve further into its twists and turns, would the experience have been that much greater.

The characters follow a similar fate as the plot, with them in itself having a nice frame and some great potential. We see how they have their distinct personalities, personal goals and even some character progression. But because they have to keep pace with the plot does it become rushed, making the characters feel flat and leaving the viewer with a desire for more. Which feels like a real shame since it really could have helped carry the show to a new level.

Animation wise the show is fairly average, there is not a clear lack of anything, but the fights are not that impressive and the most detailed animation scenes are mostly the same type of scene throughout. So its not something that sinks the show, but is not improving it either.

Overall is it a show that fell short of what it could have become. It is not necessarily bad, but it is just lacking. So I would only recommend watching this if this genre is really your favorite or you need something easy to watch.

Hajime and his harem are back for another season. We are digging deeper into the world's story while meeting new and old characters, with it still being a power fantasy.

In this season do we follow Hajime and the others after they have saved the rest of their class from certain doom. We then see them travel towards the last couple of dungeons they need to conquer, to hopefully find a way back to Japan, though they might be sidetracked a bit on the way.

For the plot of this season we follow a couple of arcs, with each putting focus on different aspects of the characters.These ... arcs both make direct progress to what seems to be the show's ending, while also expanding on the world's setting. The arcs vary slightly in the quality when it comes to plot, with some feeling more influential and others less so. This does not necessarily mean that any of them are bad, but just that some arcs are more endearing than others. Though overall does the plot fit into the rest of the show and is a nice extension to previous seasons.

Where this season really shines is actually the characters, with how we see multiple characters evolve and show previously unknown sides of them. This is done differently for each character, with some having a gradual change through each arc, while others have a major change in a single arc/episode. But it is all done quite seamlessly as it fits smoothly into everything else around them. These changes in the characters overall really helps the show take steps away from it being Hajime and the girls, and instead moving towards being a group of individual characters.

Probably the only place where the show feels like it has gotten worse, is the animation. This is not to a degree where it is painful to watch, but is something noticeable. The way it mostly shows is through an increased use of still images, still backgrounds, and some fights have lost their flair and instead seem slow. The style is still the same and it is not ruined by the issues in the animation, but it just fell a bit in quality.

With all that is the show still not necessarily a masterpiece. But I would still recommend watching this season, if this has been a show you liked. Since it sticks to the show's core and is a nice continuation to the story, even though the animation is lacking a bit behind.

When you can't win in a fantasy world, then why not try in a cyberpunk world instead? That’s what ended up happening to this demon lord after losing to the hero.

This show follows the demon lord Veltol and his subordinate Machina. We see them as Veltol reawakens after 500 years of slumber, where his only subordinate left is Machina and he is not in his usual fantasy world, but a high tech cyberpunk world.

First the plot of the show is very straightforward in each arc, with a new goal being clear after one goal is achieved. This is supplemented with a few twists that are ... built up by minor details throughout the arcs, which helps keep the plot from being too predictable. The pace is also very nice, with it not being too slow or fast and thereby giving room for just the right amount of detail of the world, plot and characters. Combined, does this give the show a great feel for the plot with it making the viewer comfortable in both the world and story, while still keeping it interesting.

When it comes to the characters, are they following a similar pattern as the plot, with the characters being fairly straightforward with a few twists to them. Especially looking at the two main characters, since their character type is very much set and does not have the most character development, but still has some significant change throughout. But what really sets the two apart from the others, is their quirks about being immortal and the view at life it brings with it. For the side characters they are the ones carrying the most character development, with that more directly following the plot of an arc, which tangles greatly into the plot. All the characters together give the steady core from the main characters, and with it helping the side characters bloom with the story arcs.

The show's animation is great, with it paying attention to both background, characters and the combat scenes. First the backgrounds are both detailed and animated to some degree, which really helps give the feel of it being a cyberpunk setting. While the characters are shown to have details in their movement and facial expression, this really makes the characters seem more alive and enticing. Finally the combat scenes are done with great attention to both magic and melee combat, with it being able to follow in great magical spectacles and high speed clashes.

The whole aspect of combining fantasy and cyberpunk is a major thing for the whole show, since it sets both the tone and the atmosphere. There can be many problems in combining these two things if not done right, since one can easily over shadow the other one. But the show really brings the two together by thinking into the way of how magic and technology would work with each other. This is the main reason why this show successfully pulls off doing both fantasy and sci-fi.

To conclude, this is a great show, with an amazing plot, nice characters and great animation, which has successfully combined fantasy and sci-fi. So if you are at least a little interested in such a combination can i only recommend this show.

First being hunted by your fiance, because of false charges of treason. To then be taken back in time and become betrothed to your former enemy, is certainly a hard start to a new attempt of life.

This show follows Jill and Hadis, who have become betrothed after Jill was taken back in time. We see them have to figure out their own situation and relationship, as Jill also tries to stop certain events from unfolding the same way as they did in her previous time.

The plot of the show very much revolves around Jill wanting a life that doesn't end the same way as the ... last one, and to avoid a future where Hadis turns into the enemy she formerly knew. This is done with fairly straightforward plot arcs, where throughout there are a few flashbacks to Jill's former life. Through that do we get a broader perspective of situations and with it more insight into the plot, characters and setting. So we get a smooth straightforward plotline that expands itself with flashbacks and sometimes some unknown twists, which really makes the story appealing.

For the characters they are well written and have some unique details to them, with some having more underlying details then others. For the two main characters, they are very much built up to have their big character progression happen over the full length of the story, with the show only showing some milestones for their development. But when we then look at the side characters, is it actually clear that they are built to be able to go under transformation and change their ways. We also see how some of them harbor greater secrets then others, and some take more time to acclimate to the coming change. This all gives a feeling of knowledge in relations the characters have between each other, which overall shapes a great dynamic that forms around the plot.

Animation wise do they switch between some different styles, where each style is very clearly connected to some type of scene. This is for example more chibi design for the silly and fun moments, while combat and serious scenes has a more mature and detailed animation style to it. Though throughout the show there is a more cartoonish feel to it, which is not necessarily bad, since it gives it a bit of uniqueness to the show. This choice in animation also really pairs up well with the characters and plot.

Sadly for the whole show there is one big drawback, which is the age difference between Hadis and Jill, Jill being 10 and Hadis around 19, Jill was 16 in her former timeline. This type of relationship and those ages, can easily become something very wrong. But the show has saved it in a way that makes one less critical around their relationship, which is done through no fan service, no sexualization, and generally building it around wholesomeness. With it they succeeded in it being a cute relationship, instead of a sexualized one.

So with all that it is a great show with a questionable couple they portray in the best way possible. Thereby I will definitely recommend you watch this, if it is a genre you like or just that you find the idea of the show interesting.
