Name This Anime:
The classic underdog trope strikes again! Our protagonist starts as the weakest, mocked, discarded, and treated like trash—until a near-death experience awakens his secret superpower, skyrocketing him from zero to hero. That’s right, folks, Fuguushoku "Kanteishi" ga Jitsu wa Saikyou Datta is another installment in the “bullied protagonist gets OP powers” category.
Plot Summary:
The MC (let’s call him Plot Armor-kun) begins his journey as the quintessential loser, possessing an appraisal skill considered useless in his world. Instead of fighting monsters or protecting allies, he’s treated as little more than a tool to identify loot. Naturally, his neglectful party abuses him, and it’s only when
...
they leave him for dead that he discovers the hidden potential of his “useless” skill. As it turns out, his appraisal ability has some serious hidden perks—plot twists galore!
In true edgy-hero fashion, Plot Armor-kun swears vengeance and begins training, quickly becoming one of the strongest beings in his world. The first girl he encounters immediately becomes smitten with him. If the pattern holds, expect every female character to inexplicably fall in love with him because... why not?
Art and Animation:
The art style is solidly above average. Character designs are sharp, and the animation quality holds up in both action and quieter moments. While the visuals don’t reinvent the wheel, they’re polished enough to keep you engaged. Special effects, especially during power reveals, add some flair without overdoing it.
Music and Sound:
The music fits the dark and edgy tone of the story. It complements the action sequences well and sets the mood for the protagonist’s transformation arc. That said, the opening theme is pretty standard fare for this genre—not bad, but not memorable enough to keep me from hitting “skip.”
Characters:
So far, character development is... minimal. The MC is your typical stoic, revenge-driven hero, and while his backstory offers some emotional weight, his personality hasn’t evolved beyond “angry and overpowered.” The first female lead seems infatuated with him (standard harem bait), but her motivations and depth remain unclear. Other supporting characters, if you can call them that, mostly serve as fodder for the MC to either surpass or punish.
Will the show surprise us with meaningful character growth later on? Probably not, but hey, I’m holding out hope.
First Impressions:
Fuguushoku "Kanteishi" ga Jitsu wa Saikyou Datta checks all the boxes for a mid-tier fantasy revenge anime. Weak MC? Check. Overpowered abilities unlocked at the brink of death? Check. Edgy attitude and a chip on his shoulder? Double-check.
The premise isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s not bad either. If the story finds a way to subvert expectations or dive deeper into character development, it could rise above its average beginnings. However, for now, it’s a formulaic show with decent visuals and an okay setup.
Final Thoughts:
This anime might appeal to fans of revenge-fantasy stories like Arifureta or The Rising of the Shield Hero. It’s not groundbreaking, but it could develop into something enjoyable if it plays its cards right. I’m cautiously optimistic and will keep watching, hoping for improvement.

Overview:
If Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill had a middle-aged uncle with less charisma and a questionable online shopping addiction, you’d end up with Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan. This anime follows the story of a 40-year-old man who gets transported to another world. His “cheat skill” is an online store that allows him to purchase items from his original world and sell them for a hefty profit in the new one. Logical? Not really. Entertaining? Well... that depends on how much you enjoy watching a middle-aged protagonist thrive as an e-commerce king in a medieval fantasy setting.
In a world where
...
we’re inundated with 4–5 isekai series every season, Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan feels like another addition to the growing pile of isekai titles that borrow liberally from already successful formulas. If you’re familiar with Campfire Cooking, you’ll immediately spot the similarities: a quirky gimmick, a slice-of-life pace, and a protagonist with absurd skills that inexplicably solve every problem.
Plot and Themes:
The anime begins with our protagonist, a 40-year-old salaryman, inexplicably transported to another world. His special ability? Access to an online store connected to his old world, where he can purchase modern items and resell them for massive profits in the fantasy world. They list of the prices of everything he purchases, I am not really sure why, maybe some people enjoy that but to me, he has infinite plot coins to spend as he pleases
One noticeable difference from most isekai is that this anime skews slightly more mature. While many series in the genre stick to playful flirting and harem antics, Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan hints at the protagonist actually pursuing physical relationships, though it’s handled with minimal focus and subtle dialogue.
However, beyond this minor deviation, the story meanders without a clear direction. Is this a slow-life anime? Is there an overarching antagonist waiting in the shadows? Is the harem route the focal point? The show drops hints at all of these possibilities but doesn’t commit to any of them.
Characters:
The protagonist is the quintessential middle-aged isekai lead—relatable to older viewers but lacking the charisma to make him truly compelling. His motivations are simple: make money, live comfortably, and occasionally indulge in the perks of his new world. While there’s potential to explore a more nuanced character arc for someone his age, the show doesn’t seem interested in taking that route.
The supporting cast is largely one-dimensional so far. While a few potential allies (and love interests) appear, none have been developed enough to stand out. If anything, the cast feels like background props for the protagonist’s online shopping escapades.
Art and Animation:
The visuals are serviceable but unremarkable. Character designs are generic, and the animation quality doesn’t go above average. It’s competent enough to convey the story but lacks the flair to make the setting or characters memorable.
Music:
The music is, unfortunately, forgettable. It blends into the background so much that it’s hard to recall any standout tracks. While it doesn’t detract from the experience, it also doesn’t enhance it.
Final Thoughts:
Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan tries to carve out its niche in the oversaturated isekai genre but struggles to stand out. Its mature tone offers a slight twist, but the lack of clear direction and underdeveloped characters make it hard to fully invest in the story. While it may appeal to fans of slow-life isekai with quirky gimmicks, it doesn’t offer much beyond surface-level entertainment.
If the show can focus on character development or introduce a more compelling narrative, it might grow into something worthwhile. For now, though, it’s just another isekai filling the seasonal lineup.

Overview:
Finally, an anime title without a marathon-length name! Honey Lemon Soda tells the story of an ultra-introverted and painfully insecure girl named Uka Ishimori, who struggles to fit in at school. Through a chance encounter, she meets Kai Miura, the dazzlingly handsome and ever-so-kind male lead who helps her find her voice, make friends, and navigate her high school years. Along the way, romance blossoms as Uka starts to discover her true self.
If this premise sounds familiar, it’s because it leans heavily on the tried-and-true formula of shy girl meets a prince-charming-boyfriend who changes her life. Think Skip to Loafer meets Kimi ni Todoke, with
...
a dash of Komi Can’t Communicate for the introvert-focused appeal.
Plot and Themes:
The story wastes no time in establishing Uka’s struggles. She's socially awkward and overwhelmed by self-doubt, making it nearly impossible to enjoy her school life. Cue Kai Miura, the archetypal “perfect guy” who’s not only attractive but also effortlessly kind and supportive. Through his guidance (and the support of his lively group of friends), Uka starts to come out of her shell and experience the joys of youth.
While the plot is designed to be heartwarming, it doesn’t escape feeling derivative. It’s hard to shake the impression that we’ve seen this before, and the early episodes don’t do much to distinguish Honey Lemon Soda from its genre predecessors. The pacing also feels a little slow at times, but then rushed on others, like he helped me ao i must be in love! which may test the patience of viewers seeking more dynamic storytelling.
Characters:
Here lies the show’s biggest challenge: the main character, Uka. Unlike relatable and endearing introverts like Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke or Komi from Komi Can’t Communicate, Uka struggles to capture the viewer’s sympathy in the first few episodes. Her insecurity is so overwhelming that it comes across as frustrating rather than charming. Instead of rooting for her, I found myself wanting to shake her into action.
Kai, on the other hand, embodies the classic prince archetype—charming, supportive, and a little too perfect. His role as the hero who saves Uka from her social struggles is predictable, though his cheerful personality adds warmth to the story. The supporting cast, particularly Kai’s entourage of friends, offers glimpses of potential for character development, but their arcs remain largely underexplored early on.
Art and Animation:
The visuals are a highlight of the series. While the character designs lean into the fantastical with eye-catching hair colors and exaggerated eyes, they manage to stand out in a genre often constrained by sameness. The animation is fluid, and the use of soft, pastel tones creates a dreamy, romantic atmosphere that suits the story’s vibe. Side notes do those EYES stand out to all of you like they do to me?! I am not sure if i love it or hate it, but for whatever reason it catches my EYE!
Music:
The soundtrack is calm and unobtrusive, perfectly complementing the gentle tone of the show. While it’s not particularly memorable, the music does its job of enhancing the emotional moments and creating a soothing ambiance.
Final Thoughts:
Honey Lemon Soda aims to be a sweet, feel-good anime about personal growth and budding romance. However, it doesn’t quite reach the emotional depth or charm of its predecessors in the genre. The protagonist’s lack of appeal early on, combined with a predictable plot, holds the series back from being something truly special.
That said, it’s not without its merits. The artwork is lovely, and the foundation for character growth is there if the show decides to explore it fully. If you enjoy light, slice-of-life romance stories and don’t mind a slow start, this might be worth a watch—just keep your expectations modest.

Anime Review: Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi?
Title: Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time
Overview:
In the ever-expanding universe of isekai anime, Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi? introduces us to Takumi Iruma, a 40-year-old man who finds himself summoned to a new world alongside a group of destined heroes through a celestial clerical error.
Unlike his fellow summon-ees, Takumi hasn't bestowed combat prowess but instead opts for a seemingly mundane creation skill: alchemy. His goal? To lead a peaceful life, far removed from the chaos of battle.
...
Plot and Themes:
Takumi's journey is a blend of familiar isekai tropes and unique twists. Granted a new body and sent back three years before the main summoning event, he has ample time to hone his alchemical abilities. This preparation phase allows him to establish a comfortable life, complete with modern amenities like toilets—a detail that adds a touch of humor and practicality to the narrative.
As with many isekai protagonists, Takumi's path crosses with various characters, including those bound to him through contracts. While this setup hints at harem dynamics, the series attempts to focus more on interpersonal relationships and less on overt romantic entanglements.
Antagonists and Conflict:
The primary source of tension arises from the kingdom of Sidonia, which has summoned other heroes with potentially dubious intentions. Takumi's inadvertent involvement in these larger political and mystical machinations suggests that his peaceful days might be numbered. The narrative teases a looming confrontation with the summoning nation, adding intrigue to the otherwise laid-back storyline.
Art and Animation:
Visually, the series delivers a standard aesthetic typical of the genre. The animation quality is consistent, though it doesn't particularly stand out. Character designs are appealing, and the depiction of alchemical processes is handled with enough flair to keep viewers engaged.
Character Development:
One of the show's strengths lies in its character development. Takumi is portrayed as a relatable protagonist, whose desire for a tranquil life contrasts with the extraordinary circumstances he finds himself in. While occasionally leaning into archetypal roles, the supporting cast offers enough diversity in personality and background to keep interactions interesting.
Final Thoughts:
Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi? doesn't revolutionize the isekai genre, but it doesn't need to. Its charm lies in its lighthearted approach and the protagonist's unique perspective. While it incorporates many familiar elements, the series manages to carve out its own niche by focusing on the nuances of alchemy and the everyday applications of Takumi's skills. For viewers seeking a relaxing and enjoyable isekai experience, this anime is worth adding to your watchlist.

Alright, let's play a little game: how many anime clichés can we stuff into one show? Enter Hazure Skill "Kinomi Master", where our protagonist starts as the underdog with no discernible skills. His goal? To stand beside his badass female love interest. The twist? Surprise! He’s overpowered, and before you can say “skill tree,” he’s out there obliterating everyone and becoming the best in the world. Cue the harem-building and world mysteries unraveling at lightning speed.
Plot and Premise:
Our MC can devour magical fruits to gain skills, and unlike the rest of the world, which is stuck with one skill per person, his initial skill allows
...
him to consume an unlimited number of fruits. It’s like watching someone use cheat codes in a video game—game-breaking least satisfyingly. If you’re into the whole "weak-for-ten-minutes-then-godlike" arc, this one’s for you. I prefer a slow grind, watching characters struggle, grow, and overcome real challenges. Here, though, it feels like the struggle is fast-forwarded.
Art and Animation:
Visually, it’s what you’d expect from a mid-tier anime: decent but nothing groundbreaking. The fight scenes are passable, offering some entertainment but not enough to make you sit up and take notice. The animation doesn’t push any boundaries, and the art style fits squarely in the “it’s fine” category. The music, however, is a small saving grace—decent enough to enhance the scenes but not something you’ll remember after the credits roll.
Character Development:
Ah, my favorite topic. Sadly, this is where the show falls flat. The characters are predictable and as deep as a puddle. The protagonist’s rapid power escalation leaves little room for genuine growth or compelling development. The supporting cast? Mostly there to fulfill typical archetypes, with no real standout moments or arcs. I’m holding out hope for some depth, but as of now, this anime feels hollow, much like a coconut—hard on the outside, but not much substance within.
Final Thoughts:
Hazure Skill "Kinomi Master" is teetering on the edge of being dropped from my watchlist. It’s got potential, but it needs to step up in character development and plot depth to hold my interest. For now, it’s a solid 5/10—serviceable but forgettable, unless the upcoming episodes can inject some much-needed life into this formulaic setup.

Botsuraku Yotei no Kizoku dakedo, Hima Datta kara Mahou wo Kiwametemita
I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic
EDIT: Episode 4 just came out and now it copies Reincarnated as a slime. I Don't want to spoil you, but man, this just pushed me to drop it.
Alright, let’s talk about this one. You know that feeling when you watch an anime and it feels like déjà vu? That’s the vibe with Botsuraku Yotei no Kizoku dakedo, Hima Datta kara Mahou wo Kiwametemita. It’s like a remix of “I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can
...
Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability”, but with a few fewer sparkles and a bit more “meh.” At least he looks like a Dude
The premise is simple: our protagonist is reincarnated as a noble in a world where magic is as rare as a unicorn. He’s got this absurd ability to learn magic so quickly, it’s borderline absurd. Within the first three episodes, this guy has unlocked more magic than most people could ever dream of in a lifetime. And, while I’ve ranted about these “cheat” characters in other reviews, this one doesn’t hit quite as hard, but it’s still irritating. I mean, come on—can we get some balance here?
Plot and Characters:
Our guy, with his lightning-fast magic learning curve, starts building a party. But not in the typical RPG sense—no, he gets a little creative and forms contracts with his “party members.” Think of it like slavery-lite, where they get enhanced abilities, but in return, these cute girls are bound to obey his every command. You can already see where this is going: harem-building, yay. Honestly, I’m not here for it, but hey, it’s pretty much a requirement in this genre at this point.
As for the plot? Well, there’s no obvious big bad GUY yet. His noble family seems more concerned with his unnatural abilities—his brother’s probably jealous, and people are sure to try and use him for their gain. There’s some potential for evil scheming in the future, but right now, it feels more like an excuse for our guy to flex his magical muscles.
Animation and Music:
Let’s talk about the visuals. If you were hoping for something that would make you pause and admire the art, look elsewhere. The animation is perfectly fine, but it’s as average as you can get. Nothing about it stands out as unique or memorable. The music is the same story. It’s there, it does its job, but don’t expect to be humming the soundtrack anytime soon.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, Botsuraku Yotei no Kizoku dakedo is an average isekai experience that feels very familiar and doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's another entry in the long list of “watch it, forget about it” shows. Unless something big happens or the story takes a sharp turn for the better, I will probably be dropping this one soon. You’ll get a few smiles here and there, but this one’s not likely to leave a lasting impression. For now, it’s just another average isekai that blends into the crowd.

Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai
English: My Cute Little "Romance" with Kuroiwa Medaka
If you're in the mood for a lighthearted rom-com with a bit of a twist, Kuroiwa Medaka ni Watashi no Kawaii ga Tsuujinai might be your cup of tea. The story takes a familiar concept—the popular, beautiful girl falling for the guy who’s completely indifferent to her—and puts a subtle spin on it.
Plot and Characters:
Mona Kawai, the stereotypical pretty girl, has lived a charmed life where men fall over themselves to win her attention, and everyone around her showers her with admiration. She’s got the looks, the charm, and the social
...
standing—everything seems to be going her way. Enter Kuroiwa, the one guy who doesn’t appear give a hoot about her charm, her looks, or her popularity. He’s not falling for her act, and in fact, does everything he can to ignore her.
This sparks her interest, as for the first time, someone isn’t swept up by her allure. She starts to wonder why she can't charm him, and eventually, this curiosity turns into something deeper. As expected, this sets the stage for a slow-burn romance, where both characters may start developing feelings for each other—but of course, neither can admit it just yet.
The plot is pretty standard, and you can already predict how things will unfold. The characters are pretty linear for now, with Medaka being the bubbly and popular girl, and Kuroiwa playing the stoic and somewhat indifferent guy. The side characters? Well, let’s just say they’re pretty much background noise at this point—nothing special, no real development. But hey, we’re just getting started, right?
Art and Animation:
The animation is decent, nothing groundbreaking, but it does the job. The art style complements the tone of the show, and the cute moments between Medaka and Kuroiwa are visually enjoyable. The character designs are familiar but effective for this type of rom-com.
Final Thoughts:
This anime is as average as they come, with a sprinkle of potential for some character growth. There’s nothing exciting here to make it stand out from the pack, and honestly, I don’t see it attracting a huge audience unless something major happens. The first few episodes have been decent, but it’s hard to get excited about a story that’s so predictably paced.
If you’re looking for a simple slice-of-life anime with a bit of fanservice, this could be worth a watch. But if you’ve got a backlog of better shows to watch, I’d say you can probably skip this one for now. It’s not bad, just… unremarkable. I’m curious to see if anything picks up in the next few episodes, but if it doesn’t, I’ll likely be dropping it after 6 episodes—there’s only so much I can take of the same repetitive will-they-won’t-they dynamic.
Rating:
It’s a light, easy watch, but I’m not sold just yet. If I had to rate it so far, I’d give it a solid 5/10—it’s cute, but that’s about it.

Zenshuu
English: Zenshuu
Anime can be a wild ride, but Zenshuu takes it to a whole new level with its unique premise and eye-popping visuals. Produced by Napa, this show catches my attention not just with its stunning art but with a story that's refreshingly different from your usual anime fare.
Plot and Characters:
The story follows an animator who, after her untimely death, finds herself transported into the very anime world she once admired. It’s a world brimming with familiar tropes and battles, but here’s the twist—she has the power to change the outcome of these events by simply drawing. Imagine being able to rewrite the script of
...
your favorite anime just by putting pencil to paper. That's the reality for our protagonist, and while she wields this power with an air of nonchalance, her playful and somewhat irreverent attitude adds a layer of charm to the show. She’s definitely a fun character to watch, never taking things too seriously, even in the face of epic battles.
The supporting cast, while not incredibly deep at this stage, serves their purpose. It feels like a deliberate choice to keep the characters somewhat linear for now, especially since this is an anime within an anime. I have a feeling that, as the series progresses, we’ll see more character development—after all, there’s plenty of room for growth in this vibrant world.
Art and Animation:
Visually, Zenshuu is a treat. Napa has really outdone themselves with the animation, capturing the essence of an anime world in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. The colors pop, the designs are dynamic, and the action scenes are well-executed. There’s a fluidity to the animation that keeps everything exciting, whether it’s a high-energy battle or a quieter moment of character reflection.
Music and Sound:
The soundtrack is solid, with a mix of tunes that match the whimsical, dramatic, and action-packed tones of the show. It’s not necessarily groundbreaking, but it enhances the atmosphere and adds a nice layer to the overall experience.
Final Thoughts:
The series has a lot of promise, though I’m curious to see how the plot will unfold. Will it take a darker turn? There’s potential for it to become one of the top-tier shows of the season, especially with the protagonist’s unique powers and the anime-within-anime concept. However, there’s always the risk of burnout—if the same plot devices are used repeatedly, it could lose its spark.
If I were to offer a critique, it would be about the transformation sequences. While they’re fun in their own way, they feel a bit outdated, reminiscent of classic Power Rangers-style moments. This might be fine for younger viewers, but for me, it didn’t quite hit the same note. Still, there’s likely a reason for this, and I’m intrigued to see if it plays a larger role in the story.
Overall, I’m enjoying Zenshuu—it’s an 8/10 for me so far. I’m hopeful it will continue to develop and surprise, and I’m excited to see where the plot takes us.

Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu
English: There's Someone I Like in This Company (can you keep a secret?)
Last Anime season we had a couple pretending to be engaged, this one we have a couple pretending they are not together
Ah, workplace romances—because nothing says "professional" like sneaking glances and covert hand-holding during office hours. Following the trend of couples with something to hide, Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu brings us a duo trying to keep their love life under wraps while maintaining their day jobs.
Plot and Characters:
This series centers on two coworkers who are secretly dating but go out
...
of their way to act like they can’t stand each other at work. It's a simple premise that plays on the tension and comedy of their dual lives. Outside the office, they’re all about the romance, but in front of their colleagues, it's all business (and a touch of animosity). It’s a slow-burn slice-of-life for viewers who enjoy the understated charm of office romance without the usual over-the-top drama.
Art and Animation:
The animation is clean and straightforward, matching the series' laid-back vibe. While it doesn’t push any artistic boundaries, it’s a solid representation of the slice-of-life genre. The muted color palette and realistic character designs give it a grounded feel, fitting for a show aimed at a slightly older audience who can relate to the office setting.
Final Thoughts:
Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu is a quiet, unassuming series that won’t knock your socks off but provides a cozy watch for fans of workplace dramas and subtle romances. It’s the kind of show that’s perfect for winding down after a long day—nothing too intense, just a gentle peek into the secret lives of office workers in love. While it might not stand out as a must-watch of the season, it’s a pleasant addition to the slice-of-life genre, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of romance with their workday routine.

Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi
English: The Story of a Salaryman Who Became One of the Four Heavenly Kings After Going to Another World
Ah, isekai—the genre that keeps on giving. But wait! This one’s got a twist that’s sure to make your inner office worker nod in appreciation. Instead of the usual overpowered protagonist slashing through enemies and collecting harems, Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi flips the script with a protagonist who trades in his briefcase for a new role under a demon lord—without any combat powers to boot!
Plot and Characters:
Our hero is your typical salaryman, underappreciated and
...
overworked in the modern world. But in a refreshing twist, when he's transported to another world, it’s not his strength or magic that earns him a top spot in the demon lord’s ranks—it’s his impeccable skills in management, negotiation, and leadership. Who knew office politics would transfer so well to demon politics? Each episode feels like a mini case study in conflict resolution, teamwork, and problem-solving. It’s like someone turned your business ethics class into an anime, and somehow, it works.
Art and Animation:
The animation is solid, offering a clean and professional style that complements the business-themed narrative. While it doesn’t push artistic boundaries, it’s crisp and clear, making it easy to focus on the quirky yet engaging storyline. The character designs, especially for the demon lords and mythical creatures, add a fun contrast to our buttoned-up protagonist.
Final Thoughts:
This anime stands out by merging the corporate grind with the fantasy escapism of isekai. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the usual swords-and-sorcery fare. However, the novelty might wear off for viewers who aren’t as invested in the business angle. Still, for those who’ve ever dreamt of using a PowerPoint presentation to save the world, Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi is a delightful, educational detour into the realm of fantasy. Whether it can maintain its charm over an entire season remains to be seen, but for now, it’s a unique and enjoyable watch.
