"In a nutshell ... I think it's an anime you watch when you feel like throwing away your annoying ethics." - Amahara 6:27
The target audience for this anime is for those that are tolerant against typical dark themes like r*pe, gore, etc. If you can't handle these themes then it's not intended for you. As for those who are tolerant, if in anycase that you find the execution poor, then you have all the right to argue and criticize.
Now without further ado, let's get into the analysis.
Plot:
A seemingly simplistic plot about Gods Vs. Demons, but underneath all that we have ourselves a very intricate set
...
of characterization and themes.
Sub-Genres: Ecchi, Mystery, World-building, Morality
World-building is a common element that Amahara likes to add to his collection of works, such as the case with Ishuzoku Reviewers. While this may be a basic element, it still plays an important role in establishing the state of the world which greatly parallels with world history. While the world-building isn't revolutionary, it still sets up some pretty absurd moral actions that each species tend to appeal to. To simplify it, the moral takes granted most of the time tend to shit on human logic which may come off as unappealing to moralistic individuals.
The morality throughout this whole series is abysmal, which is to be expected when the main cast is comprised of Gods and Demons. Of course a human is added to the mix to give their take, but we all know how that turned out. To be honest, the whole morality ordeal is pretty unbelievably realistic. For example, the current generation of Idaten living in isolation and peace for most of their lifetime don't ever find the need to develop a sociolgical structure like humans do. As for humans, they are weak and need to rely on support for each other. That is why they form sociological structures, but since humans are weak they will eventually fall into the act of commiting sin. And due to the act of sin, conflict arises, which ends up with humans being predatory towards one another. Of course the Idaten will pay no heed towards this, because it is not their problem and even though the majority of their being is made from human thoughts, they know for a fact that the predatory acts will just support the growth of the predator's side which doesn't have any affect on humanity's decline. As for the Demons, they are pretty much oppressive dictators who have absolute power over the humans. There are two types of demons, [Intellectual] and [Base]. The [Base] demon is basically a rampant monster that possesses little to no intelligent thought and they run on the basic instinct to attack the Idaten. The [Intelligent] demon is basically a mixture of human and demon, where if successful, you would have yourself a very powerful creature that is capable of basic human intellect. But if unsuccessful, you would have yourself a weak demon who is inflicted with a major side effect. These side effects are still successful tbh, considering the abilities we've seen. To conclude the morality of demons, they basically function just like humans, since they possess their brain afterall.
Mystery is also another common theme to be found, but I won't get too deep into it like with what I did in the previous paragraph. The mystery incorporated is done through huge exposition dumps that definitely feels like lazy story-telling, but considering the pacing of the story it's understandable. While it's definitely a subjective opinion, I believe the directing towards these fast-forward exposition dumps was handled pretty well. A bombtastic ost combined with moving visuals is an effective strategy in engaging the viewer into boring dialogue. Besides that point, the mystery narrative comes up pretty often as well as being solved pretty often. This doesn't come of as pretty impacting, but it for hell sure does keep the viewer engage.
Ecchi is the last thing I will cover for this section and I will make this short.
Any artists seeing this rn better get on their ass and create some rule34.
Characters:
I definitely felt like a lot of details went into their species rather than their actual "character", but I would still like to cover this part.
To sum it all up, each character is pretty stereotypical, but I don't mean to put this in a negative tone. Although they follow the basic personality format, they are still pretty enjoyable characters thanks to Amahara's sense of humor. Of course a lot of these jokes may be filled with a lot of dark humor, I still found it quite enjoyable since it gives a bit of meaning towards each of their character.
If you want to know the basic traits for the Idaten:
Hayato: Shounen MC that wants to become stronger
Isli/Yeesly/Easely: Nerd that serves as exposition dumps and strategy tactics
Paula: ... Fill-in Heroine? (I honestly think she has a ton of potential with her communicative ability, but so far she served little to no purpose other than negotiations)
Rin: Training Master that is brutal af. Also one of the two idaten who served an emotional purpose.
Prontea: He seems pretty cool and laid-back, but he's built like a mf ronald mcdonald head ass.
The last Idaten is actually a spoiler, but I would just like to say that this one has the most potential out of all them in terms of character development.
I won't be going into the demon's side, but from watching the series I can say that they do possess the traits of humans as well as being bat shit crazy.
Animation/Visuals/Production (AVP):
This will be the last thing that I will cover in this review so I want to make this long.
As expected of Fuko Noda (Producer of Dorohedoro), we now have ourselves another masterpiece in terms of the art/visuals. The mix of different color palletes can be seen throughout this series and it's used in such a creative way that I can't help but find myself looking at it in awe and admiration. It is without a doubt one of the most artistically creative works ever seen in the anime medium and to think that this is being paired with Amahara's cartoonist and simplistic artwork is pretty unbelievable. Also to top it off, the Idaten Opening is a certified masterpiece, nuff said.
*(Yes, I know that Coolkyoushinja is listed as the character designer, but none of the character designs actually look like his work. Take a look at the Islis from both source materials for example.)
For the animation side of things, I would definitely have to say that it feels kinda experimental. This is to be expected since many of the freelancers that worked on this series are just starting to make their debuts. While it may be experimental, I still think the animation in this series was pretty above average and there were definitely some very good moments, but they ended too short which kinda sucks. I believe the reason for all of this is the fact that the production wasn't so great in the first place. Considering they announced the pv last year back in november 2020 and for it to release within the 2021 summer time-frame, the schedule is handled pretty poorly. But considering the staff's talent, I would like to praise them for putting up with this mediocre schedule and to still produce high quality content at the same time.
Conclusion/Final Thoughts:
As with that being said I'll be giving this an 9/10 for this review. I know that I barely listed any criticism for this review so I'll list a few such as the plot barely having any substance. Viewers will percieve the substance to be psuedo, considering that it was mostly given to us through expostion which isn't good story-telling wise. Another criticism that can be made is about the flimsy structure of the plot. The plot being as basic as it is doesn't exactly strike that much to some viewers and it isn't exactly outstanding, so concern is to be expected.
Moving on from the criticism, I honestly think this is one of the best animes to come out this year. The directing was insanely good and it still managed to give me the feels even if most of the main cast are sort of apathetic towards humanity. The ost as well is another masterpiece in my books which is all thanks to Yoshiaki Dewa (Flying Witch, Fate/Stay Night). This series felt so chaotic and simplistic in such a fun way that I can't help but f'ing love it.
Second 2 pls....

Instead of listing the famous names that recommended this manga, I want to clearly state my thoughts about this beginning premise.
-Okay typical school setting
-Occultic science fiction shit
-What the fuck
Some of the shit we've seen in the first chapter alone can be taken extremely out of context, in which I compare this part to the random shit I've or you've seen in Fire Punch (Author was an assistant under Fujimoto).
While there isn't much to go on, I can sorta guess the route we are taking... Honestly, the first chapter was so random I wouldn't even know. I would like to think of it as some sort
...
of bootleg mob psycho but this time we have more variety in the mixed.
Well besides the occultic battle premise without much to go on, the characters in particular have their potential of course to grow and mature maybe. We are introduced to a nerd and an aggressive girl that tries to prove their theories against each other, but in the end they prove each other right.
Other than that, this series gets pretty weird and creepy like it was suppose to be a one-shot parody but apparently we'll be introduced to more. So in any case, look out for more!
10/10 Occultist shit

The targeted audience:
-Simply enjoys without being an anti-cgi elitist
-Loves the fan-favorite mc spider kumoko
Now I know that some of you will watch regardless of what's said above, if you want to force yourself then that's up to you. But if you want to enjoy an isekai without a boring mc for once then this is the one for you.
Characters -
Kumoko
...
Honestly the reason why you're still watching the show. Finally we are met with an isekai mc that has witty dialogue, doesn't go over too cringy, relatable in a sense. Currently fighting in a seemingly never-ending dungeon arc that goes on for ages, somehow with just her presence alone the audience is still entertained in the setting we are delt with.
Human Characters
To be honest I don't even remember their names so I'm just gonna name them off of what they've achieve.
Bland Mc
Jealous Rival
Obsessive Imouto
Gender-Bender
Teacher
Dragon Bully
and that momoko chick from the ghost stories dub
The human side introduced itself with a bad execution, there is no fixing that. Annoying, unrelatable, and all shallow in actual character. While I do admit the dragon at least regrets some of her actions in the past life, it had to take a reincarnation to do so. Hopefully they can become more likable in the future and have good character development.
Art-
I've seen bad CGI in cases like overlord, arifureta, and berserk. The CGI I've seen here actually has some fluidity and is watchable. I really don't understand why the audience would be complaining, when the spider cgi is probably one of the best we've seen in anime and it's not even that jarring especially since we're already watching a cgi dungeon background which makes the combination perfectly fine to watch. The only jarring scene you guys can really come up with is the cgi monster in the 2d human world And even if we do get elitists, I'm pretty sure the majority audience wouldn't even care about this minor personal inconvience. Other than that, the monsters and kumoko also get some 2d art from time to time, so don't complain about it being all cgi.
Narrative-
This part hasn't really been establish as of yet, but it's forming considering that we are seeing the povs from both perspectives of kumoko and the humans. Kumoko's narrative should be picking up as of now with the secrets behind her skills, etc.
Honestly I'm happy with this adaptation. Even if I do see a few bumps with the camera panning, texts covering the whole screen (well skills are actually important here), and some may even argue pacing but I'm fine with it being a bit rushed with the dungeon. This adaptation manages to capture kumoko's nature and I believe that's what matters most.
(I mean animation quality is obviously important but it's good here imo)
If you have the time to complain about bad cgi then you have the time to come up with better criticisms.
8/10

Mod Edit: This review was originally posted for Yogen no Nayuta (98960) and has subsequently been merged into 22-26: Fujimoto Tatsuki Tanpenshuu (141294).
The sequel published before the prequel
Everything in this one-shot is "potentially" the plot and setting for Chainsaw Man Part 2, so this read could potentially contain spoilers for chainsaw man readers. Read this at your own risk
It's a simple story about an older brother and his sister nayuto (nayuto is recycled in chainsaw man) nayuto is the birth of a demon prophecy in which she will destroy the world. The main focal point here is the brother's struggle of trying to understand his
...
sister's satanic actions and how they never understood each other.
Pressured by society and his sister's actions, he decided to follow the simple heartwarming family bond trope to push through the story and ends up defending her. There really isn't anything noteworthy to say since it's a simple trope used throughout this one-shot but it's definitely worth a read if you want to understand fujimoto's writing and how he implements that into chainsaw man.
Art: It's fair enough, has some chainsaw man elements, also vice versa
Character: They aren't interesting at all, but if you switch the characters around with the chainsaw man set up then it's definitely something.
This one-shot isn't much but it's definitely a huge plot point to be considered for Chainsaw Man part 2 considering how the author fujimoto set it up to be.

This anime takes the generic isekai genre and takes a twist on that term. While everything seems borderline cliche, the content that is given stems different from the generic shit you see most of the time.
Story: The story is a bit of a mystery, what is this game-like world, what are the quest for each round, why does the time skip for each round, why there may be many questions I can't help but believe they are skipping over something important here. Hopefully in future episodes we will see their actual importance in this world.
Animation/Art: From the character designer of trinity seven to what
...
appears on the cover a generic isekai, the designs are alright and fine. The animation on the other hand is mediocre, still frames and visual novel scenes, I can understand this fairly well since this is a new studio, but I have to say the VN format is a smart move. The budget saved from those scenes play in favor of the action, in episode 4 we got to see a bit of goodness at the end. Animation is definitely not the best, but the studio knows how to save it's budget for things.
Sound: The opening of this show, has a nice melody that I can safely say fits the show. The ending of this show is also great and has the best visuals overall. Not much else to say.
Enjoyment:
Well there may be slideshow animation for certain scenes, and the plot and story being pretty average for now. I believe it has it's positive points with the comedy and a nice twist on the MC's character. For future episodes, WARNING: SPOILERS: the main cast becomes more dependable on themselves, and they won't be relying on the MC all the time. Anyway, if you want a better experience then you can give the manga a try.

Don't let the MAL ratings fool you, this is far from your usual collection of trash generic isekai. If you want a quick summary about this manga, then I can give it to you. "Boring, but addicting" Now the next thing your gonna question is how f'ing retarded can this summary be, well now I'm gonna tell you why I gave this summary. Right after I finish my review of course.
Story: Anyway, our MC Yotsuya was having a normal highschool day and while cleaning up the chalkboard after school there were also two other girls present. Then all of a sudden they disappeared in front
...
of his eyes by a beam of godly rays and then after a blink he was transported too. Now to the main part, apparently the two girls were transported to the other world one by one but in the end they survived a few rounds (There are 10 rounds in total to complete the game). There is also this game master that looks like some pervert, but he also serves as the god of that world (He also takes form of a loli in later chapters). This game master offers you one question to make after clearing a quest and he will answer it as given. The game master also says that by the end of the game you would have ten players since every round that is cleared you are granted a new player. Besides the rules of the game, the world is actually very detailed thanks to the author's magnificent writing and there is a new change of setting which each round. I don't want to get into full detail any more than the basics, but I forgot to say that each time a round is cleared the players are then transported back into their world for some time then brought back in a time skip of 15 years or so. Anymore writing than this is just gonna fry my brain even more so I'll stop now.
Art: Okay I'm not gonna go too critical on the art here, it's decent and clean enough to get the okay sign.It's kinda unique in it's own way and the artist is also the same one for trinity seven. We do get to see lots of blood and gore (including many, many deaths) so that's my conclusion.
Characters: Okay I now understand why this considered (Underrated Isekai Masterpiece) is granted such a shitty rating in mal (Like seriously a 6.91, for a story thats put up a hell of an effort) This story's weak start which puts the rating where it is now is all because of the useless harem squadron of the MC Yotsuya-sama. I didn't have the slightest care about these characters in the beginning, because all they did was follow the assign cliche given to most women in anime. But if you waited and read forward, you can actually see these characters grow and become more reliant which the MC Yotsuya-sama approves of and if he didn't then he would value their lives at zero.
Now that these insignificant characters are out of the way, let's talk about our boy YOTSUYA-SAMA. First of all many can take his "I hate people" quote as something stupid, like where would you have been if humanity isn't here. This simple thought leads to a train of ideals and different viewpoints in which will sometimes contradict to his thinking/actions, and at this point this character starts to try viewing things from another perspectives while creating new ideals with him, even if he knows some of his views is very flawed it's still something he believes in and he has the willpower to carry that out so no matter how wrong or right it is perceived. Basically, this guy thinks logically and doesn't play idiot meaning throwing away his humanity at times in order to carry out his deeds. He also has different persona for the people he interacts with and this is something in which I can relate to as well, I mean having a fresh start in life while meeting new people is something you don't take for granted if your a lonely weeaboo with an embarrassing that you would want to remove from your memory, but it's permanently stuck in your head till your grave.
Overall: 9/10 The effort put into such a generic setting is insane!
Update 9/23/20: What type of review is this goddamn it's horrible, anyway here's the main point, the beginning is pretty mediocre as it introduces its' set of clunky rules but the author decided to improve and with each arc we get a whole different setting which I compare to Hunter x Hunter and I guess all the rules that the author made at first are starting to make sense. Each arc is based off a real life event and real world problems, so it's pretty interesting to see. The main characters are in a situation like Subaru from Re:Zero except if they all die without being revived by the time the cooldown timer hits zero, they will remain dead. There's a lot of vague mystery questions going around and every villain is pretty difficult to deal with, so if you want to give this a read go ahead.

Story: The plot is basically a ongoing war between two generic nations, with the black nation having a tyrannical king that doesn't give a sh1t for his nation. The white nation although isn't tyrannical, they are nonetheless boring as f*ck and are bias into thinking that being white is righteous. Though they learn that the people of the black nation are being forced into war. There is also no reason stating why the tyrannical king of darkness is going on a rampage, I swear if it's some bullsh*t stating that murder is justice or if it's something that appeases him, then I'm calling it quits
...
on this show. Anyway this looks like it's gonna be a garbage romance story between two lovers with the relationship development being resolved with fight scenes that saves one or the other. 2/10
Art: Really generic looking and nothing much about it at all. Your highness looks like your typical maiden beauty, while the MC lead looks like your typical edgelord character you would create ingame. Character designs are so generic that it holds no significance at all. 5/10
Sound: The OP is kind of a banger tbh. Takahiro Nishikawa x ASCA hits it off pretty good as the switches between the two reflects the premise of the show. The ED is pretty soothing and aesthetically pleasing and is also a banger. For the voice acting part, this may be some of the most mediocre acting I've ever noticed. The monster that constantly lays a rampage with no definitive reason is the worst va I've heard tbh. 6/10
Character: Ok this is where it gets boring. First of all the princess maiden is nothing more than a random character that you fill in for the plot. She has close to zero personality at all, except for looking at things different than what most of her kingdom thinks. I wouldn't even go any further on the kingdom of white because they are so bland and generic that you would literally be better off skipping their part because it's insignificant. For the black kingdom with actual plot development we have the Prince of Darkness, who is a commoner that has suffered a heart-breaking loss as his village was destroyed by monsters. I don't want to further expose what happens here, but someone came and told him that he reminds him of his former self and told him to take his sword and become king. From what happen there the commoner then takes his place and declares himself as the Prince of Darkness who strives to become king and reform his nation. There's literally no personality for these characters, they literally act like every other normie protagonist that I can't even give any of these characters credit. I'm gonna have to throw these lazy personalities in the G-tier for Generically uninspiring. Yeah, I get the reason for the goals they are striving for, but these characters has been told so many times that it's not even enjoyable anymore like seriously, how lazy can one be in writing. Also why does that white knight always get mad when someone mentions the princess, like jesus christ he doesn't follow the mood at all, despicable. 2/10
Enjoyment???: The only entertaining part of the show is the black kingdom only. The white kingdom is equivalent to the amount of ecchi/cliche/filler you have watched for a lifetime. Even though the only enjoyable part was the black kingdom, it is still so predictable and straightforward with it's plot that there is nothing worth mentioning except for the fact that the Prince of Darkness will accomplish anything to become king and save his people. 3/10
Overall: 1/10
*Such cliche storytelling, makes it so uninspiring

Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa nai deshou! looks to be your generically bland isekai show. But in contrast against those statements, we are looking to get a world-building concept show with little to no cliche/ecchi filler moments. The visuals may be a major turnoff for some but for others that love world building and plots & twists should give this one a try.
Story: Shingo Ichinomiya, is a man that got isekai'd randomly and is now living in a body of a toddler. This may be kinda random and probably stupid, but this is how the story goes. With no way to go back, he then
...
lives and grows up to live his own adventure. Finding new companions on the way, and overcoming troubles that may fall upon them with their adventures. Not much to say, but the only important aspect of this story is the journey. UPDATE** Looks like down the road, we will be dealing with a lot of politics so that is the world-building that we are gonna be looking at. 6/10
Art: The art isn't all that great, but not bad either. It is just very generic looking with bland fantasy visuals. Putting aside the art, the animation isn't that great either. For the fight scenes, all that we are seeing really is moving png images fighting against cgi monsters and creatures. I wouldn't know if they are low on budget or if they are saving for later down the road, but it is just as generic as it gets. Update** Looks like the quality deteriorates over time as they butcher up the adaptation in order to finish this show. 4/10
Sound: The sound isn't anything conspicuously bad, as I don't really impose any sentiments towards the sounds. On the other hand the music from the OP/ED gives off a very nostalgic feel like it's from the 2000s. The heavy metal opening and the majestic vibes it gives off to the viewers makes it very much prominent. For the ED the harmonies combined with the nonchalant singing feels very smooth and relaxing. I have to say they did a really good job capturing the vision for the light novel adaptation as in making the story feel as really immense as it is with this ost. 8/10
Character: There's really nothing to say about these characters, because so far we don't really know any of the main casts background and for their reason to be on this journey. For the MC, he didn't seem to use his knowledge as a 25 year old and acted very much like a child when he got isekai'd into a little boy which kinda p1ss some viewers off with this format. I believe even though he has lived 25 years, going back to being a little boy that is still developing brain growth will mean he wouldn't be able to keep all his knowledge. As for everyone else, they just seem to be there for the plot of world-building with very little much to add. I'm sure in the future we will get some background with the MC's party, so we will have to wait until then. UPDATE** This world norms are way different than our because apparently having concubines is fine, and the wife doesn't even mind. The MC though isn't such a wuss as other protagonists as from judging by the novel, he does some pretty kinky stuff. 5/10
Enjoyment: I believe this may be a more interesting story down the line but with the cover of being generic as it seems, I can understand the major turnoff from people that demand more appealing works of animation.

STORY 7/10
This story is really good, but for season 1 this is only just the beginning. For starters the Main Character Bam-kun loses his only friend Rachel who goes up the tower in order to fulfill her wish. Not so long after Bam finds himself in the tower as an irregular, someone that holds great power and is a threat to the tower. The goal in Bam's mind is to find Rachel by climbing up the tower, and his reasons are not because he is a simp. His reason to find Rachel is because she is the only person that has been in his life
...
that has nurture his painful loneliness. From here on afterword, Bam will experience many new feelings he never felt before, and then the world-building now starts, with many unexpected plots and twist, it will surely twist your mind on how you percieve certain things in life.
ART 7/10
This isn't your typical mainstream artstyle. Yes, I do believe it is kinda sloppy at the beginning, but gradually it improves overtime from the source material. In all honesty this gives a refreshing mood to how we percieve art in anime. Instead of your generic cast of colors, we get to see a new style that uses rough line art that seperates itself from other works. I'm not gonna be the one complaining. Though when I saw TOG for the first time, I reacted the same way as to why it looks that way, but then I get to absorb that style and see how it expresses itself for each chapter.
Sound 9/10
The sound direction is really good. I don't have much to question about the very talented kevin penkin. I'd also liked the OP & ED, Stray Kids are the first k-pop band I've ever listened to and I gotta say they also did a phenomenal job.
CHARACTERS 7/10
TOG cast of characters are really omoshiroi. I love seeing their character devolopment when put under hardship or having to overcome their pasts. I mean that's one of the whole points in stories like these. You have a huge cast of characters, because you have to deal with a bunch of world-building. Even if the characters you love are not getting enough screentime, they will soon be added back later to follow the timeline and plot. One final note is that anime watchers are already hitting hard on these characters like that they are one-dimensional with nothing to develop, but all I have to say is to keep on watching.
Opinion = 8/10 Season 1
Overall Score Prediction= 7.9/10 Season 1
Tower of God is one of the best webtoons out there and for the adaptation I would say they did a pretty good job on not butchering up the webtoon.
Season 2 is something to look out for though, I hope this studio can produce 24-?? episodes, because there is a lot of source material.

Sentouin, Hakenshimasu, in short summary a underrated piece of work that can hit it off, depending on the audience's reaction to certain panels. Made by the same author of konosuba (Akatsuki, Natsume), this story brings in some konosuba elements (EXPLOSIONS, MUDA, etc.). This Isekai is also another parody, where the mc would point out the cliche elements of the setting, and lastly before we get to each arc of ratings, the main characters (No. 6, Alice) gives off some No Game No Life vibes, so if there are any NGLF fans out there, this one is kinda similar in character, but it won't be as
...
aesthetic.
Story: The story starts off with No. 6 (MC) getting a mission from the higher executives of the evil coporation (Kisaragi) to scout out an unknown planet. With advance technology, No. 6 accompanied by an android partner (Alice) are teleported from kisaragi to the top of the sky of the unknown planet (Similar to how Shirou & Sora got isekai'd), safely landing with a parachute. After reaching surface, they discovered that this world was your typical generic fantasy land, but moving along they still have the mission to establish territorial ground and another teleporter in order for their evil corporation kisaragi have access to invade this land. In my opinion, I believe this has a better plot than his previous work (konosuba) as there is a lot to add to this story, but I haven't really understand the reason behind being an evil coporation and why they would want to claim more territorial land from another world.
Art: Not much to say since the artist does a lot of h*ntai works, I guess the art is good, I mean his talent is useful for the explicit scenes which in my opinion showcases some of the funniest panels I seen, so I do believe he captures Natsume's vision of his written novel.
Characters: The characters I gotta say in this day & age are god-tier in comedy, I would love to be bias and put 10/10 but overall I really haven't seen the character development for that kind of rating and the characters are all pretty one-dimensional as well, but they are still really lovable. Starting from the main characters we got...
No. 6 : Honestly I really do believe that Natsume has been influenced greatly by the Rance Series (H-eroge game series), because this character goes to even further lengths than Kazuma, first of all he is your perverted protagonist who does evil things in order to gain points (Points are a currency mechanism), since his specialty are perverted acts, he earned himself his own nickname 「ZIPPER MAN」/ 「STICKY FINGERS」, basically he becomes a stand. Now to the part where I said he goes to even further lengths, is where he does some eroge type sh*t in certain panels, that are absolute god-tier degenerate comedy. To compare, I can say Kazuma has more of the talk game where this guy has more of the take action game, although both are still virgins I believe. Also forgot to mention that he is also a lowly combatant, but he is also the commander of his harem since he knows how to fight. Also great partners with Alice.
Alice : High perfomance android loli, that is partnered up with No. 6, stating that she has his back. As a high performance machine, she accomplishes the harder tasks that resolves out of fighting, the best thing about her character is that she is okay with whatever degenerate acts No. 6 comes up with, because she approves all evil acts since that is what Kisaragi aims for. I'd say she is the best girl because all the other characters are incompetent, though she recommends that R-rated Androids are the best girls to get. Also great partners with No. 6.
Snow: 17 Year old Knight thot / Aqua reincarnate
Skills: Swordsmanship - Snow is shown to be skilled in swordsmanship.
Weapons: Flame Zapper
She had a harsh upbringing, but finally rose to great heights only to be demoted and put on the commander's harem (No. 6)
Loves Money & Wealth and is a whiny b*tch with a busty body.
Rose: A battle chimera loli who starts off with a megumin type of introduction, right after No.6 responded back in the same way, she then goes on about how she always follows the will of grandpa, pretty similar to that one nutcase who created the crimson wizards in konosuba. Her special trait is gaining abilities by eating meat from magic beasts (Similar to that edgy protaganist from Arifureta), she's the lessed focused on character out of the bunch I believe.
Grimm: A follower of the evil god Zenalith-sama, she borrows and recieves power, basically a archbishop. She has the ability to chant curses at people but there is also a chance it can bounce back at the user. One of these curses has actually bounced back and left her in a wheelchair, but the reason is really stupid. She can also be revived by leaving her to rot in a ritual. She is also looking to marry.
Enjoyment: Though the setting is although not that exciting, the decent and interesting plot combined with entertaining characters, makes this an entertaining piece of work. I really enjoyed this as these sort of characters aren't really the generic cliche types you always see, as they do follow the parody material quite a bit. My final note is to hope that the anime adaptation could be handed to a good studio, so that it can recieve the epicness this work deserves.
Story: 6/10
Art: 7/10
Characters: 9/10
Enjoyment: 10/10
Overall: 8.2/10 No.6 x Alice
