The first season of Log Horizon gave as a fresh world with a new spin on the typical Isekai stories. It had interessting characters, problems, solutions and was rather grounded for the kind of story it was, which allowed the political plot and the peril of our heros to have some weight behind it. It may not have been a masterpiece, but it was highly enjoyable.
The second season was a step down, with limited animation, a plot that was all over the place, the ideas and new concepts were going nowhere and everything felt just so disconnected and lifless.

This season was the point for ...

This season was a huge disappointment. Hataraku season one was not a masterpiece by any means, but it was good at what it was trying to be. A nice mix of reverse Isekai, Slice of Life and a Mystery, all strung together by a charming cast, grounded humor and a wink of the creator.
Like this they were able to mask the problems and focus on the strong aspects of the show.


The problem with this season on the other hand is simple. Nearly every positive aspect of before is gone and replaced with a new negative one. Sadly this way, there is little left to ...

If you have ever read an Isekai, you basicly know what this is about. This one is, without much exaggeration, the most generic and uninspired one i´ve read to this day. The story is a bunch of trophes, story lines and elements mashed together, sadly without a single new idea or proper execution of any part of it.

The start isn´t too bad, just not very original. A boy get´s transported in a fantasy world where he starts of as a baby of a noble family and is send away into a isolated large mansion after his father finds out about his predetermined jobs. You see, ...

Mieruko-chan (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (4/12 eps)
Mieruko-Chan so far is basicly a run of the mill slice of life Anime with a creepy backdrop. It´s not realy horrific or disturbing, and doens´t feel like a horror series at all. Creepy, yes. Horror, no.

The danger and the rules of the world so far are rather unclear. That wouldn´t be that much of a problem normaly, but there isn´t much else thats happening. So not knowing if anyone is even in danger at any given time or how this danger looks like, doesn´t help much either.

On the positiv side, it´s at least kinda entertaining watching our protagonist doing her best not to react ...

This manga is something different. It is constantly walking the line between qrotesque, fetish porn, light hearted comedy and just pure insanity.
In one scene one of the girls is puking in the main characters face, while being forced to dry hump him and the next is a discussion about racism. You realy have no clue what to expect of it at any time.

At first i thought this could be something like a satire of ecchi and hentai manga in general, with clear references to story beats and imagery. After finishing it i can assure you, i still don´t know what to make of it.

The ...

As a big fan of studio Shaft and the original Madoka, i realy wanted to love this one. Not seeing Gen Urobuchis name anywhere near the project had a little red light going off in the back of my head, but i thought Shaft would still handle it in a decent way.

The structure is odd and switches from a fast to a very slow pacing, seemingly at random. Heavy dramatic scenes are followed by parts that seem to ignore the moments before, sometimes with the same characters in new locations, a light hearted feeling and nobody even mentioning the dramatic stuff that happend just ...

Infection (Manga) add
Preliminary (70/267 chp)
This is an odd one. Some parts of it are actually very well done, like the bodyhorror and the tension in the beginning, the expressive art styl or the constant evolution of the danger, but so much else just didn´t work at all.

This manga tries to mix survival horror, with heavy ecchi elements, a highschool drama, light hearted comedy and a battle shounen protagonist in one story and fails so spectecularly with it that i just can´t stop reading.
We have emotional and dramatic scenes, that are built up for multiple chapters intercut with stupid sex jokes, that kill all tension and it´s leaving a ...

Kimetsu no Yaiba´s strong side is without a doubt the production value of Ufotable. It can shine with good music, fluid animations, decent artwork and nice character design.

The problems seem to lay just under the highly polished surface. Especially the story, worldbuilding and characters are sadly quite lacking.
Before i go in deeper in my reasoning i would like to make a comparison to make my problems with the series so far a bit more clear.

KnY is basicly Claymore, just with the problems inverted. Instead of a focus on the character and world building, Kimetsu is showing of spectacle.
Both anime are about a child ...

This sorry excuse for an Isekai is so shockingly bad that i was actually speechless watching the first episodes. For the most part it feels like a parody of itself, but sadly without any sign of understanding the trophes and elements it is using.

Story, setting, characters and even jokes seem to be heavily ,,inspired" by popular isekai animes of the last years, but without the charm or imagination to do anything worthwile with it. It feels like a clusterfuck of clichés to put it bluntly.

We got discout versions of Kazuma and Aqua from Konosuba, an overpowered main character from any run of the mill isekai, ...

As a fan of the original manga i was pretty enthusiastic when i first heard about this. Tensei Shitara was and still is able to shine with excellent world building, it´s characters and a story that may come of as generic at first, but is handled so well that you just can´t stop yourself from enjoying it.

Mamono no Kuni on the other hand doesn´t have any of these qualities. It is basicly a lifeless fanfiction with a mary sue author insert character as it´s lead. These words are sadly not an exaggeration. Every character knows her or want to know her, she has an unique ...
