Interesting show. It's not as bad as some people are making out.

The show is basically a mix of light action, adventure, and childcare. There was a lot more action than I was expecting which made me enjoy it a lot more. I was expecting a slow paced iyashikei with lots of cute kid activities, but these kids do not do kid activities, trust me.

This anime has no meat - there's a weak story thrown in there, but it doesn't really do much for it, it feels like it was put there just because it's supposed to have one. That said, the show is still fun ... to watch, just don't expect any engaging plots, it's basically a man and two kids adventuring and having fun doing it.

If you're a person who loves the classic overpowered isekai anime, then give this a try - it might just surprise you.

This show has blown my mind. Usually I don't watch shows like this, I'm your traditional anime action head who thrives on dubs, so it's rare to get into something like this.

I accidentally watched Parallel World Pharmacy a while back and thought it was awesome, so I decided to give this a try, thinking it would be similar. I was wrong, it was better.

The story flows so well, progressing in a way that feels like you're experiencing the main character's life instead of watching it on a screen. It sucks you into this beautiful and original world in a way that makes you curious, ... and leaves you wanting more.

The main characters attitude and stubbornness is one of the best things about the show. She's smart, brave and resourceful, with a nice pinch of pettiness. The show also does a good job of showing the main character's frustrations while at the same time showing that she's made peace with her situation and is making the most of the cards that were dealt to her.

Video, sound and animation isn't on the level of Violet Evergarden, but it's still awesome enough to be considered pretty great.

I loved this so much that I'll wait for the whole series to end so that I can binge it. Watching it an episode at a time is torture.

First time I watched this I was mostly high, and although I enjoyed it, it didn't really make a lasting impression.

I just finished rewatching it and I really loved it this time.

Spriggan is basically a no nonsense action flick. Lots of fighting, lots of military, with a touch of Indiana Jones vibes. No romance or feely stuff, just great action with and adventure.

It was a little weird that the main character is a kid in school who has more sense than the average adult, but I think that adds to the awesomeness of the show.

If like me you're a fan of action stuff, you'll love ... it. I feel the low rating is unfair.

Started off great but later turned into a guilt simulator.

The show starts off well - characters are full of personality and life, adventures are exciting, backstories are kept short and entertaining, full of promise.

Somewhere down the line it lost it's way and turned into a full on guilt simulator. They really laid on the guilt thick on this one - after a while it stops being about emotional expression and becomes an annoyance.

I feel they should have focussed on other types of emotion instead of spamming the viewer with guilt and pain.

That said, I managed to get to the end and I wouldn't mind taking ... a peek at the next season, so it gets a respectable 7.

Never before have I accidentally completed an anime.

I saw it linked on YouTube, watched it, came here to find out more about it, turns out the little I watched was everything.

The content of the show itself is actually pretty good, quite enjoyable. The only reason I gave it a 7 was because it's basically a trailer for a non-existent anime. It has no story or direction, just short 1 minute skits.

That said, what you get out of it is definitely worth the time invested. It's basically 5 minutes jumping between WTF and LMAO.

Definitely recommend watching it.

This anime is tasteless, lewd, corny, lacking in depth, formulaic, but boy is it fun to watch.

I'm only a few episodes in and I can tell this one will be one of those anime that I'm going to really enjoy. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it'll probably rot your brain but boy does it have it where it counts.

One thing to note is that MAL has it listed as "Comedy, Magic, Ecchi, Fantasy", which isn't wrong, but I feel that they should have included "action" and "adventure". Comedy, action, and adventure are my usual go to genres and if I wasn't bored shitless ... and settled for what I thought was gonna be a mediocre show I would have never come across this gem.

So, who is this for? If like me you love your easy to digest anime without deep meaningful storylines - and enjoy fun, random, and all over the place anime, then you'll live this. Don't expect anything more than that. I really hope that they don't change the tempo and get all serious toward the end like so many other anime do.

I suspect that anime elitists will chew this up and sadly that will put off a lot of people who would have otherwise enjoyed it.

Violet Evergarden AKA Crying Simulator 2018

So I've just finished watching the last episode of Violet Evergarden, which surprises me because I hate Slice Of Life Anime. I'm your typical action head and I never give non-action Anime the time of day but this one tricked me into watching it. My intention was to just look at episode one to see what the hype was about and next thing I'm sitting here writing a positive review after my tear ducts have taken a good and thorough thrashing.

The first thing that hits you about this show is the lush colours, beautiful animation, and hypnotising sound. The show's ... visuals are the best I've seen and I'd say Violet Evergarden has raised the bar on what a high quality anime should look like.

The story is episodic, each episode has it's own little story, and each story grows the character that little bit more.

Although this anime hits you in the feels, it does it in a way that I've never experienced. It's clearly a sad anime and you feel for the characters, but it doesn't leave you feeling bad or emotionally exhausted like e.g. Grave of the Fireflies, it leaves you feeling refreshed - the kind of feeling you get from looking at an old photo and reminiscing about past memories.

I can't say whether you'll like this or not, best thing to do is do like I did and watch an episode and go from there.

Bring tissues.

I’ll keep this review short because I know how much I hate to read through long reviews.

The show is simply a battle royale fought between 12 skilled fighters from 12 prestigious families, last man standing type of thing.

Who is this anime for? The show itself is first and foremost an action anime. The story is not complex or hard to follow so don’t expect any deep meaning from the plot. The animation is on point and will satisfy those who love slick battle scenes. If you like to just sit back and enjoy an easy to digest action anime then this one might be worth ... a peek

Personally I don’t see why so many people gave this a low rating because to me it was a fun watch through and through. The action kept me entertained and the story kept me engaged from start to finish; that said, I think the ending could have been better.

A lot of people are calling this show predictable but I really don’t see where they got that from, throughout the whole thing I couldn’t have told you who was going to win. The show doesn’t follow any particular character, instead choosing to focus on a different character each episode. You get to learn about each fighter’s histories, aspirations, and the path that brought them into the tournament. Each character is different and original and they all have their own unique skills and abilities.

It doesn’t take the path of good and evil, everyone has blood on their hands and most have redeemable qualities, so it’s up to you to make up your mind on what you think of them.

If they did a sequel I’d definitely put it on my plan to watch list.

There were so many negative reviews I felt compelled to leave a positive one because I actually quite liked it.

The anime itself I feel isn't as bad as others are making it out to be. I feel the reason it leaves a bad taste in people's mouth is because they try to over complicate things.

The story is a straight forward good vs evil fantasy set in a fictional ancient empire. It's the classic save the world from an overpowered evil power hell bent on wreaking havoc. The plot is somewhat predictable and the characters lack depth but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for an ... anime like this.

Who is this anime for? If you want to sit back and watch an entertaining, easy to digest anime with tons of action, comedy and the characters have an unwavering sense of loyalty and duty then this is for you. It's an adventure from start to finish and the plot isn't tied down to any one location. Nothing is over complicated and the anime doesn't emphasise on character's emotional baggage.

I wouldn't call this the best anime out there, or even one of the greats, but if you come in with realistic expectations then there's a good chance you'll enjoy it as much as I have.
