Maybe it's just because it had a strong second half, but I really enjoyed this season. Unlike the first season, it's a bit more streamlined in terms of keeping to plot in one place. In the first season, you had a lot of short stories that grew the characters, but didn't always relate strongly. In this one, it focuses on the collage and the students, with all the plots weaving together nicely.

I know some complained about focuing too much on the side characters, but I felt they were all done well. I liked how they all had a fleshed out story/background with relatable issues. I ... also like how the students interact with each other in different ways, and they all feel unique and fleshed out.

The story this time is more interesting as well in my opinion. Maybe it was due to re-watching the first season that removed some of the suspense from it, but I felt more compelled to watch the next episode to see what happened next here. I'm looking forward to now watching the second part, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

This one is a little tough for me, since the pacing of this show isn't consistent. The world is very interesting, and you learn about it gradually as Chise does. A lot of character designs are really nice, especially Elias. Their relationship, while a bit problematic, is explored in a way that perhaps highlights the problematic nature of it.

Throughout the show I really the world and fantastical elements, but was not engaged fully to need to watch further. They tackle a lot of temporary issues throughout the show, so you get some small stories. These all lead to character development though, so it's not that ... bad.

Usually with a show that doesn't engage me fully, I would give it a 6, but this one had a few moments that pushed it past the edge. The overall vibe, and the select strong and engaging moments moves this to a recommend for me.

As others have said, watch this at least after ep12 of the main show. This is a prequel story frime Chise's childhood. It starts out slow, but we get all the mystery and emotion from the main series here as well.

There's not much to say here. During the first episode I felt it was quite a bit too slow, and even during the second I was interested, but still waiting for something to happen. The last episode synched it though, and I get the climax I wanted for this kind of story.

It's not required watching, but if you enjoy the main series I for sure ... recommend watching this as well.

Man, I have no idea how to rate this. The show is your typical trash isekai with cartoonishly evil characters, a revenge plot, edgy protagonist, fanservice, etc. On top of that, it has heavy use of CGI which makes some scenes look like an only video game sometimes. By all intents and purposes I should have dropped it after an episode or 2.

But I kept watching, and didn't want to stop. I'm not sure if I was just starved for some power fantasy story, but it hit all the right notes. I mean, I really didn't like any part with the classmates. They had no ... personalities, and were very boring to watch. That was a small part though. The main character was a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, they are some edgy protagonist that contantly tells us he's not a good guy, but I couldn't always predict how things would go. The world and monsters are also not just generic fantasy, and have a nice spin to them.

I don't know, I look back on my list of shows, and I usually only give a '7' to something that keeps my attention the whole way through, and I can really recommend. This did keep my attention, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. So let's just say it's at the top of my '6' rated shows. I do kinda hope it gets a season 2, lol.

For sure more consistent than the previous seasons. I got a little worried when it seemed like they would just have random episodes that don't move the plot forward, but they get into a good amount of plot this season. The downside is it doesn't really have the highs of the previous seasons.

The animation is still not great, but nothing as bad as season 2. It's got charm, and it does it's job. You still get lots of time with likeable characters. The main thing I dislike in this season is the fights. There's more of them, which isn't bad, but a lot of them, ... especially important ones, always seem to fall into the same tropes. Either someone comes in at the last minute, or the character just feels like winning at some point, and works through near death to win. I want the fights to be a bit more interesting.

Overall it's still got the charm it had from the previous seasons. The finalle didn't wow me as much as the previous ones did, but it was a lot more consistent throughout and I binged it all. It's a recommend from me, I'm seeing this through.

It has a rougher start than season 1, but gets to the better episodes a lot sooner. If you enjoyed season 1 then it's more of the same, which is a good thing.

The new characters and backstory are good. The only downside is that animation seems to have gotten even worse, especially at the beginning. Like it's a slideshow at times, which I understand they probably did the best with what they had, but it's noticable. It was a bit funny when they had one battle be super low budget since it was through the eyes of someone hallucinating, but that got a bit of ... as well. It fits get a bit better bit the last few episodes though.

It looks like the next season will be a bit more plot heavy, so I'm looking forward to that. As for this season, if you didn't like the first season I wouldn't recommend, but I did and this one is good too.

As others have stated, watch season 1 of Scissor Seven before this prequal OVA. This is just some backstory on two characters that won't mean much if you watch it first.

In terms of comparing it to the first season, it's not got much. It's nice to have a bit more backstory on some characters, but it was kinda implied a bit during the series and doesn't add much in my opinion in comparison to keeping it subtle. Also, some of it feels like it wasn't intended at the beginning, and they added some lore in later.

It's fine enough, I would say probably watch it before ... moving onto the second season, although I don't really know if it's necessary. I'll come back and edit this after watching more of the series.

I wasn't sure what to expect when coming into this show. It's got a very unique art style, and kinda reminds me of a saturday morning cartoon. After the first episode, I was entertained enough to keep going and see what the show had in store. It's a bit of a slow burn, despite being 15 min episodes, but the payoff ws worth it.

The show revolves around Seven taking on different hitman jobs, and we get to learn about a lot of the inhabitants of the island. They've all got quirky and unique personalities, but they feel realistic, despite the absurdity. This show has a ... few moments where I'm wondering why they did something a certain way, and a character will outright call it out. I should mention I watched the English dub, so I'm unsure if the dialogue is changed much from the original, but it was good.

Anyway, the show was entertaining enough, but it was a bit slow. The animation was unique and interesting, but did feel a bit low budget as well. The finale really pulls it all together though. I even considered bumping this up to an 8 after that, but I need to judge the show as a whole. I hear the later seasons are even better, so I'm excited for what's coming next. If you want a bit of fresh air and something different, give this one a shot.

Despite this show's greatest efforts is to be as generic and uninteresting as possible, I was still able to get a bit of enjoyment out of it. The anime follows the protagonist Rick who is trying to become an adventurer in his early thirties. People tell him he's too old, but he doesn't give up.

As someone also in their early thirties, the theme resonated with me. Often I can feel that I missed out on a lot of things when I was younger, but that's the wrong mindset. It's never too late to start out something new, and improve yourself. Despite the personal theme, the ... show is quite generic. Despite him starting out at an older age, he's already stronger than everyone else, as you can infer from the title. So we got the overpowered MC who ploys through all the doubters, as you expect from this type of show. It's about as entertaining as it usually is, but this show doesn't give much else.

The characters are boring, and mostly just archetypes. You have an immature little girl who is OP, and some woman who dresses and actls like a maid for some reason. I did like the Orc though. You've also got a few of the snobby nobles, who are basically cartoon villains'. They try to redeem one later, but it didn't feel natural to me, and I felt they just wanted to give her more screen time since she was a woman for fanservice reasons.

Speaking of fanservice, it's kinda out of place and embarrassing here. Due to the theme I thought this may try to be a more mature show, but they've got a handful of immature boob jokes, and it makes me wonder why I'm even watching this. It's not as bad, outside of the character designs and the handful of jokes, but it just feels so out of place.

Anyway, I did get through it, and I enjoyed it well enough despite all it's shortcomings. The theme was nice, and if there was a second season I may at least check it out. If you're looking for something exciting/new then keep looking I guess.

I went into this anime completely blind, and didn't really know what to expect. I haven't watched too many shoujo anime, and from the tags this looks like this isn't even categorized as a shoujo. Well either way, the series is a bit of a parody of lots of shoujo romance tropes, and it does a good job.

The main character Anzu isn't interested in romance at all, and just want to play games, eat chocolate, and play with her cat. For some reason a wizard comes in, and takes that all away while forcing her to get into romantic situations. She's against it, and fights ... it at every turn though. Anzu is a great character, and the best part of the show.

The other characters aren't that bad either, but they do fall into the usual stereotypes. They take some time to give them interesting enough backstories though. There were a few really funny moments, but for the most part I was just mildly enjoying the show. It was for sure clever in how it did all the tropey stuff shoujo romances do, but it only happened since the wizard made it happen. I was on my way to give this a 6, since I usually reserve 7s for shows that strongly make me want to watch the whole thing through, and although I was enjoying it I could have stopped and been alright. That changed with the last 2 episodes.

One of the issues I had with the show was how the main guy character was "too hot" and the show was constantly showing us how bad it was for them that all the girls are interested in him. It's kinda the perfect scenario for the protagonist, where the hot guy doesn't like the attention of any other girl but her, and it felt like a weird plot device. They expand on it more though in the last few episodes, and they stick the landing.

The end of this show bumped it up for me. To be honest, I was even considering going as high as an 8 from how much I enjoyed the ending, but overall I gotta stick to 7. The show starts out entertaining, and has a fantastic finish.
