While I'm not a fan of this genre, I get that some people just want something they can turn their brain off to and enjoy some easy entertainment. However this anime, I think, really falls short on that. I admit that some of the comedy is lost in translation, but simple gags fall extremely short and the main character becomes very annoying.

To compare it with something like Aho-Girl, at least in that anime the show and cast are semi-regularly annoyed by the main character. The viewer doesn't feel so alone with their feelings of frustration with the main star. Shikanoko however, faces no challenges except ...

Story - 8
Story starts off big and strong, with the whole extended cast and new locations. But then switches less than halfway in for something similar to a 1 hour special episode. Even more so since many elements were ripped off from previous episodes. (Like a murder mystery on the same cruise ship, again.) It wasn't so bad, but rather a bit of a let down. Both the action and case solving were neither outstanding.

Superb and gorgeous. A bit of CG thrown in as well, but I give credit for effort. Quality noticeably drops towards the end but otherwise great.

"Anime is trash, and so am I" - Socrates.

Let's address the elephant in the room, if you're absolutely not comfortable with incest, go right ahead and ignore this. No judgement. I only watched this because I have grey borders and a deadly curiosity.

Eromanga-sensei 's greatest strength is it's characters., ignoring the incest traits. In fact, I quite enjoyed the characters especially since the secondary characters really stole the show. Strongly fulfilling the 'entertainment' part of the show.

The story is alright, mostly serving as a means to watch the characters at their most interesting. Production wise, everything is good from art to sound.

To summarise, Eromanga-sensei is ...

Angel Beats! (Anime) add
TLDR: A good show if you have the time and patience.

For me, Angel Beats! can be summarized as: "What's the hook?"

For shows such as this, there's always a hook to get you excited for the next episode. Unfortunately for Angel Beats!, this is sorely lacking in the first 3 episodes. A simple test that Angel Beats! fails, is the "Would I watch this while it was airing?". It's only because of the convenience we have now that I watched this to the end, I honestly would have dropped this show if I had to wait a week for each episode.

In addition, the first half ...

Excellent pacing with high stakes and lots of content. The case itself has a little bit for the viewers to figure out for themselves, but the action is the real star of the show. Story feels solid from start to finish.

Great timing and presence from start to finish.

A good premise with a lot of mystery and tension. Unfortunately there are way too many chunks of slow pacing, coupled with awkward expositions, that made the movie feel like it was dragging for time. Personally I disliked the lack of viewer involvement in solving this case, especially since the action part failed to fill the void.

Art - 5
Definitely higher in quality compared to the TV series, but a noticeable drop from the previous movie and at times unfaithful to the style. For example in the chase scenes, Conan starts and stops jarringly with no acceleration or deceleration. Style wise, Inspector Megure is ...
