It's nearly impossible for me NOT to compare this to DuRaRaRa!! (previous Naritaverse series), so I won't try.
I really love this series, but I'd like to say upfront, i think if you have to pick between watching the anime or reading the manga - read the manga. The anime didn't really add anything, or improve on the base at all, and I felt some of the animation was pretty rough and felt rushed-out. The voice acting was fine, but nothing on the level of DuRaRaRa!! (which has one of the best ensemble casts in basically anything). I don't think anyone in Deathplay really stood out

I wonder how many people will say they Really, Really, Rally, Really, Really love this series? Because....I am one of them.
Peak of the medium. Culmination of the genre. Ultimate comedy-romance to end all comedy-romances. Truly one of the purest experiences of 2023. Not exagerating when I say that looking forward to this show every week kept me alive while working retail at Christmas. And all I wanted for the holiday was for them to confirm a season 2, which they delivered. We are ever so blessed. I'm sure by the time Rentaro gets his hundredth girlfriend, this series will have cured cancer and brought about ...

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally love this series. If you watched season 1 and enjoyed it, I think you'll enjoy this season just as much. Feels like a perfectly executed continuation. On the whole this series is such a simple concept for an isekai, not overly laden down with stuff like rules, skills, exp, level ups, whatever. Just OL transported to fantasy world where she's got healing magic and gets to have a chance at romance. It's cute, wholesome, and the art is well done. Sei has her little side-quests and there's occassionally obstacles that pop up that she needs to clear, but the series does a good

The only thing I can really say about this series is that it was truly harmless.
Just a kinda bland office romance with a cute, short stack senpai, and a bit of a quiet, normie kohai. I like the dynamic between them, it's very fuzzy, but there was no development on a character or couple level at all. They both start out kind of crushing on each other (i think) and by the end they're still exactly where they began. Sadly this is another series where the coworkers and their story seem more interesting than the main characters. I really liked their manager as well as ...

I'ma be real. I'm only typing extra words here because MAL's standard for review has judged my entry below to be unworthy due to its patheticly to-the-point nature, and reduced word count. I feel like I'm a middle schooler being forced to pad out his book report by trying to find the longest way to write something. With that said...

Bikini Warriors
(Anime)
add
Look. The show is called Bikini Warriors. It's not like you didn't expect where the series is going. My main criticisms of the series are two-fold.
1) The episode length: 4 minutes isn't long enough. The show is funny, the girls are sexy, and the voice acting is done by some of Japan's top talent. You will want full length episodes. Sadly, you're stuck with shorts. 2) The series is only 12 episodes long. And... it ends on a total cliff-hanger. Would have liked to see where this goes, but sadly, doubt we ever will. With those negatives taken into account, really thought this show did exactly what ...

Edomae Elf
(Anime)
add
This was a super charming show. I enjoyed the characters with all their eccentricities. Any type of over-arching plot is basically non-existent, but having an awkward, shut-in elf, who got reverse-isekai'd to Japan 600 years ago teach you history lessons about Japan during various periods from the past because she was there as a bystander is a nice little premise + having other elfs pop up here and there too is a great addition. I can't say that I found many of the random facts about history that she imparts to be too interesting personally, but there were a few I went, "huh, that's kinda

Isekai Ojisan
(Anime)
add
This series was really fun, but the production schedule + airing dates for it were so drawn out and confusing that watching it as it came available caused me to forget about it completely so it's taken me until now to finally get around to finishing it. Of course that's not at all helped by this being a Netflix anime in the US, which is probably one of the last place I go to get my anime.
Plot-wise I found this series pretty entertaining, but I was really hoping for a reunion between Uncle and his former Isekai pals towards the end somehow... we need ...

Lv1 Maou to One Room Yuusha

I've been a fan of this manga for a while, so I was pretty excited to see that it was getting an anime adaptation; and they didn't disappoint with it. I don't really know what more to ask for. The story is fun, the characters are likable. The action scenes were animated really well. The voice acting for the JP side was superb. I'm giving this a perfect score for what it is: an extremely well executed dumb, fantasy comedy with an interesting premise. I recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the Isekai comedy genre (though I guess this isn't really an isekai,

Horimiya: Piece
(Anime)
add
If you were a manga fan who watched season 1 and said, "this would literally be perfect, but... they cut out all the fun, boring, inconsiquential fluffy relationship stuff that made the series special," well then do I have great news for you!
This is like season 1.1 + 1.2 + 1.5 +1.67 + 2.01 - at some point i'll come back and do a sequential watch order for combining the missing pieces into the original Horimiya season. This season is so good that it retroactively fixed all the complaints I had about season 1 and thereby raises the score for me for the first ... |
