No Longer Allowed in Another World* is a painful example of how not to write an isekai. The story starts with an interesting twist—Sensei, a writer on the brink of double suicide, is hit by a truck and sent to another world. Instead of embracing the adventurer’s life, he searches for his lost lover, Sacchan. This premise, which could have offered a profound exploration of grief and purpose, is squandered on shallow character arcs and tonal inconsistencies that leave the narrative feeling hollow.
The characters are as lifeless as the monsters they fight. Sensei’s brooding cynicism quickly grows tedious, as his refusal to engage
...
with the world isn’t balanced by any meaningful growth or introspection. Annette, the priestess, and Tama, the martial artist, fare no better, serving as little more than obligatory sidekicks who are drawn to Sensei for baffling reasons. Their motivations are paper-thin, and their interactions lack the chemistry needed to sustain the story. The trio's journey through a world supposedly fraught with danger feels like a series of disconnected vignettes, with neither stakes nor payoff.
What’s most frustrating is how the story attempts to balance comedy and despair but ends up trivializing both. Sensei’s nihilism clashes awkwardly with the slapstick humor and shallow commentary on human nature. The darker themes are neither explored with the depth they deserve nor juxtaposed effectively against the lighter moments. Instead of a thoughtful critique of isekai tropes or an engaging story of personal redemption, *Isekai Shikkaku* delivers a muddled, uninspired tale that neither entertains nor resonates.

This one started off pretty strong with a solid female lead and an interesting premise, but it quickly fell into way too many clichés. Honestly, it just didn’t work for me. Jill's character felt all over the place—like, she couldn’t decide what kind of person she wanted to be. The prince was just as weird and didn’t add much to the story either.
The world-building was weak, which made it hard to get invested in the setting or the stakes. And don’t even get me started on the timeline—it felt so off and hard to follow at times.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this
...
one. It had potential, but it didn’t deliver. If you’re looking for a strong female character and a well-structured story, you’re better off skipping this.

Honestly, this was a refreshing twist on the usual villainess trope. Most stories have the protagonist trying to change the future or "redeem" the villainess, but this one? nope, she’s all in on being the "best" villainess ever, and it’s great. Alicia has this vibe where she’s still got some moral codes, so she’s not just being evil for the sake of it, but she’s definitely not about to let anyone walk over her either. It’s a nice balance.
One thing I really appreciated is that not every guy in the story falls for her. Like, thank you! It’s such a cliché in these
...
stories, and this one dodged that (mostly). That said, the prince? Yeah, he wasn’t written super well. He felt kinda bland, and I kept wishing for more depth from him.
The first seven episodes? Absolute *peak*. I was hooked. But after that, it kinda lost its spark and slowed down a bit, which was a shame because it started so strong.
Overall, I still liked it a lot. If you’re into this genre and want something with a unique spin, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot.

So, Seirei Gensouki Season 2—honestly, it didn’t hit the same way as Season 1. The story had potential, especially with Rio reuniting with his childhood friend Miharu and diving deeper into the mysteries left hanging from the first season. But man, the pacing was all over the place. Everything felt way too rushed, and some scenes just felt… off, like they didn’t get enough time to breathe.
Now, let’s talk about the double voice thing—the fantasy language overlaying the Japanese dialogue. At first, it seemed like a cool idea, but wow, it got old fast. It became more distracting than immersive as the episodes
...
went on. Not sure who thought it was a good idea to keep that going so much, but yeah, it wasn’t.
On the bright side, it wasn’t a total disaster. The plot still had some good moments, and it did reveal a few key mysteries from Season 1, which kept things somewhat interesting. It’s not "bad", but it’s not great either. Definitely a middle-of-the-road kind of season.
Would I watch a Season 3? Sure, why not? It feels like the story needs a proper redemption arc, and maybe they can bring back the magic from the first season. Give it a shot if you liked Season 1, but don’t set your expectations too high.

Alright, so Good Bye, Dragon Life—this one had some real potential but kinda left me feeling meh. The concept? Awesome. I mean, a crazy OP dragon reborn as a regular guy in a quiet village? That’s a solid setup. But the anime doesn’t really do much with it. Like, Dolan’s supposed to be this insanely powerful dude, but most of the time, it’s just him chilling, farming, or dealing with random stuff, and you’re left wondering, "Where’s all the dragon-level badassery?"
The animation? It’s okay—nothing groundbreaking. Celina, the lamia, is definitely one of the highlights. She’s well-designed, and her awkward charm makes her kinda
...
endearing. Oh, and there’s this elf girl who shows up—let’s just say she’s very *noticeable*. You’ll know what I mean when you watch it.
But yeah, the pacing is "slow". Like, painfully slow at times. They could’ve easily trimmed down some parts and made it more engaging. It’s not bad overall—there’s a cozy vibe to the story, and if you’re into slower-paced fantasy, you might enjoy it. Just don’t go in expecting anything too epic.
Would I watch a Season 2? Probably not. It’s a decent one-time watch, but it doesn’t really leave you craving more. Still, if you’re into chill fantasy stories with a sprinkle of magic and odd friendships, give it a shot.

This anime is an absolute rollercoaster. Like, there’s zero chill—it’s just back-to-back action, no room to breathe. And I mean that in the best way possible.
The story is basically about Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura (who is called Okarun by MOMO), and let’s be real, they’re the heart of the whole thing. Momo’s this badass high schooler, and Okarun’s this alien-obsessed dork, and their banter is chef’s kiss. They’re constantly arguing over aliens vs. ghosts, which is hilarious, but then it somehow leads to wild supernatural battles.
Oh, and let’s talk about the humor for a sec—so many *pee-pee* jokes. Like, maybe
...
too many? But somehow it works. You’ll either roll your eyes or crack up (probably both).
The animation? Solid. The action scenes are on fire, and even when the animation dips into that intentionally low-budget style, it’s done so perfectly that it just adds to the comedy. It’s the kind of anime you can binge in one go without even realizing it.
Long story short, if you’re into wild fights, weird jokes, and chaotic energy, Dandadan is gonna be your jam. Give it a shot—you’ll love it.

Let This Grieving Soul Retire – A Hilarious Take on the “Strong Hero” trope!
If you’re looking for an anime that completely flips the whole "hero saves the day" thing, Let This Grieving Soul Retire is a fun ride! The main guy, Krai Andrey, is basically as weak as they come. He’s surrounded by a group of ridiculously strong friends who make him look like a total badass, but the twist? Krai doesn’t have a single special talent. The guy’s literally just pretending to be the leader while everyone else does all the heavy lifting. And honestly, it’s hilarious watching him try to keep up with
...
them while being totally clueless about his own abilities.
Everyone around him thinks he’s this super smart genius or some hidden powerhouse, but Krai is just trying to stay out of the way and not get his friends killed. He’s like the least self-aware character ever, but that’s what makes him so endearing. It’s kind of funny because you think he’s going to have some big moment, but no—he just ends up looking even more lost.
Don’t expect the usual main character saves the day stuff though. If you're going in expecting Krai to come in and crush every bad guy, you’re in for a surprise. The show kind of reminds me of One Punch Man in that way, where the side characters are the real action heroes, and Krai just pops in at the end to "wrap it up"—but here’s the kicker: he does nothing. It’s like he gets all the credit for the big win, but it’s all the other characters doing the actual work while he just tries to not mess things up.
And just a heads up, not all the characters you see in the poster or trailer are actually gonna show up later. So if you’re expecting some big character reveals or certain team members to pop up, you might be disappointed.
Overall, it’s a lighthearted and hilarious watch with some unexpected twists. This anime is definitely worth your time. You’ll get some good laughs and enjoy the ride without all the usual "main character shines" moments.

"Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?" had so much potential but turned out to be a drag from start to finish. The pacing is painfully slow. You’d think a story about reality being rewritten and humanity fighting for survival would have some urgency, but this show just crawls along. It’s like nothing meaningful happens for entire episodes.
The tone feels way too childish for the kind of story it’s trying to tell. The humor feels out of place, the dialogue is overly simple, and the characters act like they’re in a lighthearted adventure instead of a post-apocalyptic nightmare. It’s hard to take anything seriously
...
when the stakes are so badly handled.
The story could’ve been something special, but it’s a complete mess. The whole concept of an alternate reality where no one remembers the protagonist is intriguing, but the execution is shallow. There’s no real depth to the characters or the plot. Kai is as bland as they come, and the side characters don’t add much. Even the supposed big twists fall flat.
The animation is just average. For a show with such a high-concept premise, you’d expect some visually stunning moments, especially in the fight scenes. Instead, everything feels lifeless and uninspired. It doesn’t add anything to the experience.
It was genuinely hard to watch all 12 episodes. By the time it ended, I wasn’t left with any sense of satisfaction, just relief that it was over. If you’re thinking about giving this a shot, don’t. There are so many better anime out there that won’t waste your time like this one did.

Season 2 of *As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World* seriously blew Season 1 out of the water. It felt like the show finally found its footing and decided to step up its game. The story took a massive leap forward, especially with the whole war plot. It added so much tension and excitement. The battles were epic, and the way alliances and strategies played out kept things super interesting. I was hooked.
Let’s talk about Ars. The guy has come a long way since Season 1. Back then, he was still figuring things out, but now? He’s really
...
grown into his role. You can see how much stronger and smarter he’s become, especially with how he uses his appraisal skill. It’s like he’s not just surviving anymore—he’s actually thriving and leading. His character development this season was one of the best parts for me. I found myself rooting for him way more this time.
The pacing of the show also felt a lot better. It didn’t drag the way some parts of Season 1 did. Every episode had something going on, and it kept building up to bigger and better moments. That being said, I wish it was longer. With only 12 episodes, it felt like they had to cram a lot into a short amount of time. There were some storylines and character interactions that could’ve used more time to develop. A 24-episode season would’ve been perfect to let everything unfold naturally.
Even with the shorter season, though, I think they did an amazing job. The war plot added a lot of depth, and Ars’ growth made the story so much more compelling. It’s one of those rare cases where the second season totally outshines the first. If you enjoyed Season 1, even just a little, Season 2 will blow you away. It’s more intense, more action-packed, and honestly just a way better ride overall. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Alright, so *The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan* totally caught me off guard in the best way. Like, at first glance, you see the title and you’re like, “Ugh, another generic fantasy anime about someone trying to be the best.” But nah, this one hits different. It’s not about being OP or flexing crazy powers—it’s about using your brain, your connections, and sometimes, yeah, being a little shady to get what you want.
Noel, the main guy, is such an interesting character. He’s not your typical goody-two-shoes hero, and I kinda love that about him. Dude has big dreams of being the strongest,
...
but the universe throws him the weakest job class: Talker. Like, bro, imagine wanting to be a badass warrior, and the system’s like, “Nah, here’s your megaphone, go support someone else.” But instead of crying about it, Noel’s like, “Screw that. If I can’t *be* the strongest, I’ll *run* the strongest squad.” That’s some top-tier grindset energy right there.
What really makes this story pop is the whole “villain with a heart of ambition” vibe. Noel doesn’t care if people think he’s evil—he’ll do whatever it takes to make his dream a reality. His methods are brutal, yeah, but they’re so calculated that you can’t help but respect the hustle. Plus, the way other strong characters start flocking to him? That’s just chef’s kiss. It’s like he’s a magnet for badasses, and honestly, the squad he builds is half the fun of watching.
The pacing is solid too. You see Noel struggle, plot, and grind his way to the top, and it feels earned. It’s not just some random power boost or deus ex machina nonsense. Every win feels like it came at a cost, and that adds so much weight to his journey. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows—dude gets called out for being ruthless, and yeah, he kinda is, but you get where he’s coming from. He’s not evil for the sake of being evil. He’s just so focused on his goal that everything else is noise.
If you’re into stories with strategy, ambition, and a bit of an edge, this one’s worth checking out. It’s not about who punches the hardest—it’s about who plays the game smartest. And Noel? Dude’s playing 4D chess while everyone else is stuck on checkers.
