A mystifying landscape convulses, buildings crumble, and a malevolent tower pierces the heavens. This isn’t your average isekai picnic. Ishura, the anime adaptation of Keiso and Kureta’s light novel series, bursts onto the scene with the subtlety of a golem on Red Bull, leaving viewers equal parts bewildered and exhilarated. But will this wild ride surpass its manga and light novel roots, or crumble under the weight of its own ambition?
Forget your typical power-hungry demon king. Ishura’s world is ruled by a pantheon of demigods – a fencer, a lancer, a wizard, and an assassin vying for the title of “True Hero.” Sounds like a
...
D&D campaign gone rogue. Enter Yuno, our unassuming protagonist, living in a scholarly town built smack dab in the middle of the Demon King’s labyrinth. Life ain’t peaceful though, as earthquake-like tremors unleash robot hordes known as golems from the labyrinth’s depths.
The first episode throws you a curveball faster than a Soujirou’s Willow Sword. Yuno witnesses her friend’s gruesome demise at the hands of robots, shattering any illusions of a gentle fantasy romp. Armed with “killing words” and a healthy dose of shock, Yuno barely escapes the metallic carnage. Just when things look bleak, a brash swordsman named Soujirou slices through the golems like butter, his chipped practice sword blaring his nonchalant confidence.
Ishura throws out the fantasy rulebook. Forget exposition dumps and hand-holding. You’re dropped into a world of cryptic pronouncements, alien concepts, and characters with motivations as opaque as the Great Labyrinth itself. This isn’t some isekai power fantasy; it’s a dark, mysterious odyssey where robots clash with ancient magic and heroes are forged in the fires of chaos.
The jury’s still out, but the first episode is a thrilling gut punch. Ishura’s willingness to subvert expectations, embrace violence, and weave a web of unsettling mystery is a breath of fresh air in the often-tropey fantasy genre. Whether it surpasses the source material depends on how well it maintains this breakneck pace, fleshes out its enigmatic world, and avoids nosediving into incoherent madness.
One thing’s for sure: Ishura is no timid light novel adaptation. It’s a genre-bending, robot-pulverizing, limb-dismembering rollercoaster that will leave you begging for more, even as you question your sanity. So buckle up, anime fans, because Ishura is here to take you on a wild ride to the dark side of fantasy.
The first two light novels, while beautifully world-building, can feel like wading through a swamp of backstory and character introductions. The anime, however, cuts through this with laser focus. It throws you right into the chaotic heart of the story, letting you piece together the world and its players through Yuno’s eyes. This creates a sense of mystery and discovery that’s undeniably engaging, keeping you on the edge of your seat as you unravel the secrets alongside the characters.
The light novels’ slow character development can leave you struggling to connect with its demigods and heroes. The anime, however, throws them into action right away, showcasing their personalities and abilities in a dynamic, visceral way. While the light novels excel in describing intricate fight scenes, the anime brings them to life with stunning animation. The clash between Yuno’s “killing words” and the metallic onslaught of the golems is a visceral spectacle that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. This visual storytelling complements the action flawlessly, leaving you breathless and eager for more.
Ishura’s debut episode is a potent cocktail of violence, mystery, and genre-bending madness, it does feel like it will surpass it’s predecessors easily at this rate. But one thing’s for sure: Ishura is not your average anime, and it’s worth taking a bite out of, even if it leaves you a little bruised and bewildered.

Spy x Family is probably the most hyped-up new show of anime's spring season. It might even be the most anticipated anime debut of 2022. Not only it is an adaptation of one of the most critically acclaimed manga of the last decade, but the anime is also being produced by Wit Studio and CloverWorks, two of the highest-profile animation studios in Japan. It's an understatement to say that the Spy x Family anime is premiering to extremely high expectations
.
Spy x Family is the tale of a staggeringly talented super-spy codenamed Twilight. Twilight is a typical tsundere character, closed off to the world because of
...
his profession. The series is set in a world in which a pair of fictional nations are in a consistent state of the cold war, leading to some 60s-style information warfare between the competing nations. Twilight is tasked with investigating the behavior of a reclusive diplomat and given a strategy to do so. The stoic and typically taciturn spy must put together a convincing fake family, get his newfound child into a high-tier school, and make his way into a social gathering, all within one week. To pull this off, he takes on the name Loid Forger and swiftly adopts the smartest kid at the local orphanage. Little does he know, his precocious new daughter Anya is a powerful mind-reader. The spy and the psychic are a fantastic duo from their first moments, and the show has established a beautiful status quo.
Yor Briar works part-time as an assassin, but in reality, she is a sweet young lady who wishes for romance. Her initial relationship with Twilight is based on lies – he claims he wants to fulfill his late wife’s wishes, and she wants to fool her brother. Yor never reveals her assassin antics to her “husband,” and Twilight keeps Yor in the dark about his true reasoning for entering Anya into the school. Anya is aware of both parents’ secrets. The series is scattered with humor, creating a perfect balance to what could become a bleak story. Anya often misunderstands Twilight’s adult thoughts, and Twilight becomes confused about simple, everyday tasks. Yor should be a coldblooded killer, yet she crumbles when faced with other women’s teasing.
Spy x Family has comfortably snuck its way into a few genres with excellent results. It's a spy thriller first, an odd-couple family comedy second, and a heart-wrenching drama third. The story sets to work establishing themes right away, it's remarkably well-paced. The first episode has a masterful efficiency to it. The clever spy antics establish Twilight as a master in a handful of seconds, without ever making him feel immortal.
There's a slightly frustrating trend in modern anime of turning every protagonist into a god, but Loid is very soundly in the peak-human territory. Anya is absolutely adorable, always a moment or two ahead of where everyone thinks she is, but still very clearly a child. Her powers ensure that she's constantly underestimated, but her excitable nature keeps her grounded. Both characters come equipped with tragic backstories, but none of it feels played. Nothing is wasted, it's a near-perfect pilot for a show that's already picked up.
Another aspect of the show that is improved with animation is the series' brief action scenes, which are animated with all the smoothness and impact you'd expect from both Wit Studio and CloverWorks. While the animation doesn't quite match the best moments from Vivy: Fluorite Eyes' Song's chaotic battles or the loving attention to detail that was displayed in My Dress-Up Darling, it's still a great-looking show in its own right. Action isn't the focus of the series, but the first episode makes it clear that the team behind the show is more than capable of choreographing and animating an exciting, impactful brawl for the scenes that require Loid to get his hands dirty.
With that said, the anime wouldn't live up to the award-winning manga if Spy x Family didn't also manage to translate the original work's tangible feelings of warmth and familial tenderness. Thankfully, those key elements of the series appear to have been ported over fully intact. Even within its first episode, it's hard to not feel something when Loid and Anya celebrate their first victories together and show the first hints of a true father-daughter bond. These moments were the most memorable parts of Endo's manga, and they're also the best parts of the anime's premiere episode. In less than half an hour, the show manages to give you an idea of who Loid and Anya really are, and makes you want to see the dysfunctional family succeed.
Spy x Family is one of the smartest anime premiering today, and it only takes one episode to see what all the hype is about. It's funny, intelligent, heart-wrenching, action-packed, and extremely well animated. The show looks beautiful, but it's got much more going for it than good looks. Anime fans of all stripes will fall in love with the Forger family. It's destined to be one of the high points of this season. Anime needs brilliantly executed new ideas to keep things fresh, and this is an absolute standout.
Judged only on its spot-on comedy and action, Spy x Family would already be in the running for the best series of the last decade, but the series' more heartfelt moments elevate it to potentially being one of the best anime and manga series of all time. The Spy x Family manga is 61 missions in at this point, so once fans get hooked after episode one, there is a ton of great stuff on its way. As beginnings go, Spy x Family has established itself as one of the best anime spy stories and family comedies in just under twenty-five minutes. If the rest of the season can keep up the level of quality displayed in the first episode, then we are truly in for something special.

The premise of this series boils down to a single question: “What happens to the hero after they win?” You may want the legendary hero around when there's an army of invading demons led by an all-powerful Demon Lord, but the moment the hero is triumphant, the whole situation changes. Now you have someone powerful enough to take down the ultimate evil—without the evil part of the equation. This begets fear in the general population which then turns to anger. Soon they will want him gone—if not dead then at least out of sight and out of mind.
This is doubly true in the case of
...
Leo who is a hero so overpowered, he single-handedly took out not only the Demon Lord's army but the Demon Lord and her four generals as well. So what does he do when he is abandoned by all those he worked to save? He sets off to join the remnants of the Demon Lord's army. After all, they will surely accept him since they've seen how effective he is—won't they?
It's a solid premise with a lot of potential for both comedy and drama. But in setting it up, this whole thing becomes little more than a giant backstory dump. We meet the Demon Lord (however briefly) and get introduced to the four generals. Each of the four is walking fantasy stereotypes but this is played for comedy by showing how easily Leo beat them by exploiting their obvious weaknesses. Normally that alone is not enough to carry the episode, but thankfully Leo himself is able to pick up the slack.
Leo is a deeply flawed person. He has ungodly amounts of power and an ego to match. Because of this, he just expects things to work out in his favor and seems more than a little confused when they don't (though he rebounds quickly). But what makes Leo interesting is the simple fact that he doesn't seem to care about anything. He doesn't care about his fellow humans or the things they hold dear. He likewise doesn't care about the demons and all the pain and suffering he has personally put them through.
He doesn't even really seem to care about himself. Even when he is exiled, he doesn't get angry or go on a killing spree as the people fear, he just kind of becomes aimless. It's not like he forgives the people for casting him aside but it seems to roll off of him like something that can't be helped. This is equal parts intriguing and unsettling. Behind the jokes, we have this mystery of a broken man and what made him become this way.
overall it's a pretty decent one so far, I would recommend u if u r into this stuff.

It's been about two years since we last saw Ayame Himuro and Shinya Yukimura attempt to quantify their feelings for one another and honestly, I feel a little bad that this show has to compete with a somewhat similarly-themed (but immensely more popular) Kaguya-sama. Like that show, we have a primary couple that has caught the doki-dokis for each other but will not outright admit it. Himuro and Yukimura are dead set on gathering evidence to support their feelings, leading to smooching under the pretense of science.
While this may be a season premiere, it sure doesn't feel like it—though that's not to say our characters
...
haven't changed since we last saw them. The first season ended on an exceedingly high note with our main couple achieving the scientifically perfect romantic kiss. While the data for said kiss may be lost, the emotional effect on Yukimura and Himuro is all too evident. The two are more driven than ever to not only prove their “love formula,” but assert their love for each other through it.
The thing is, the perfect kiss has given the two a bit of an ego—after all, it was the single most romantic moment of their (romantically inexperienced) lives. Up until this point, Yukimura and Himuro have studied the love lives of those they had access to—e.g., Kotsuke's love for his 2D girlfriend and Kanade's unrequited love for her teacher, but the only truly reciprocal relationship they've been able to use as a reference point is their own—which neither are sure is “love” in the first place.
Enter Chris and Suiu. Our newest eccentric pair of scientists are a couple made up of a submissive yet passionate man and an extremely sensual and provocative woman. Not only have they been in a long-term relationship of four years, but they are also as into each other as Gomez and Morticia Addams. Threatened by a couple so obviously in love, what should be nothing more than a gathering of samples turns into a contest between the couples to determine which is more in love based on oxytocin levels.
The show has about one joke in its roster and the animation, both in terms of movement and color design, is a little lackluster. Science Fell in Love instead rides purely on charm and for the most part, I'd say it's successful. Himuro and Yukimura's awkwardness isn't overplayed; it could have easily devolved into "oh god get on with it already" but neither party is in denial and despite not putting a label on it, both are also enthusiastic about the relationship's romantic progression. They want to kiss and cuddle and thankfully the story finds ways to let them even if it's under the guise of a scientific pretense.
Science Fell in Love is a cute show. It's not going to do anything amazing or extraordinary, but there are worse ways to spend your time than with a group of dorks fumbling through their romance.

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***
Isekai is an undeniably popular genre for Japanese works. It’s become so common that it has a few formulas and even some prejudice about how it can be a little generic.
The story follows Menou, an Executioner working for The Faust (the church of this world) who is tasked with killing ‘Otherworlders’. Her world has suffered many disasters thanks to Otherworlders, humans who have been summoned from Japan and gained powerful abilities upon reaching this new world. Now The Faust have taken it upon themselves to kill any Otherworlders who are summoned before their powers fully manifest.
The trouble is the nobles of this
...
world are obsessed with power and see the Otherworlders as a way for them to become stronger than their neighboring countries. Before killing her target, Menou first attempts to make them trust her to find out if their power will be any hindrance to the assassination. This gives her the ability to carry out her task without getting into chaotic battles, but it also ends up being a big benefit in her next mission… Menou’s latest task is to kill a girl called Akari, but while Menou thinks Akari’s power is simply to heal, she quickly discovers that Akari actually has the power to turn back time if she’s fatally wounded. Luckily for Menou, Akari retains no memory of having been killed so Menou can at least pretend to be her friend while working out how to get rid of her once and for all.
Outside of Menou killing one Otherworlder, the majority of the story is taken up by her dealing with Akari. Because Menou’s assassination attempts fail, she’s invited back to one of the headquarters for The Faust where they’re said to have more powerful magic that can be used to kill Otherworlders. This means that Menou and Akari will now be traveling together for a short while, which Akari is excited about. Menou has told her that they’re going to The Faust to send her back to Japan, so for now, she doesn’t suspect a thing. Meanwhile, Menou is starting to grow attached to the girl, which may pose problems later when it comes to saying goodbye… The Executioner and Her Way of Life certainly has an interesting premise with the idea of a world so torn apart from Otherworlders that they need to start killing them upon arrival.
Menou also makes for a compelling protagonist. She’s been through a disaster all of her own which left her orphaned, resulting in her being taken in by the church, but she’s also not weak. She’s very serious by nature but there is a kind personality here, which is brought out by having Akari around. We also get to see her dote on her subordinate Momo plenty, which adds to the depth of her character. Akari for her part is more stereotypical in terms of being a happy-go-lucky Japanese high-school student who is fascinated by the new world she’s found herself in.
It’s also interesting that the series leans into being a Yuri in places, with both Akari and Momo clearly being very attached to Menou, and it will be interesting to see if the author does anything with that in future volumes. The illustrations (handled by nilitsu) certainly lean into the idea of the series being a Girls’ Love of some description, so that element is likely here to stay.
Overall, The Executioner and Her Way of Life is an extremely likable anime. It is worth spending your if you’re looking for a spin on the isekai genre!

Romantic comedies about awkward turtles seem to be all the rage lately. Whether they be shy teens or emotionally immature adults, most anime romcoms come with more than a dash of fumbling and socially-stunted quirkiness.
Aharen-san is a girl who doesn’t know any personal boundaries. When associating with anyone, she constantly gets way up close, physically clings onto them, and stares deep into their soul without flinching. Our male lead, Raidou, is conveniently accepting of this personal quirk, but not without some initial hesitation. The story begins with Raidou getting to know this strange girl, while also incorporating some tactics to help with her “condition.” After
...
a little while, this premise is completely dropped and everything goes straight to Hell. Just how I like it.
I’ve purposefully said very little about the male lead, Raidou. Based on what I’ve described of him, what do you think he’s like? Docile, but accepting? Nervous and fidgety? Blushes tremendously whenever Aharen gets anywhere near him? I’m sure you imagined this to some degree. Raidou is, one could argue, weirder than Aharen, the blunt chemistry these two share as a comedic duo, with Aharen partaking in weirdly intimate things and Raidou observing it completely objectively. Both characters often are drawn with completely blank expressions that hide their inner feelings, making everything vaguely cynical, which makes the humor all the more effective.
A lot of it comes from misunderstandings, which is commonplace, but the active imagination of Raidou makes everything so blissfully weird. Aharen is constantly hiding her face? Raidou believes that she recently got into a scuffle with a tiger and wants to hide the jagged scars from the world. Aharen can’t focus in class? She’s not getting enough sleep due to the multi-billion dollar corporation she runs suddenly coming under fire for money-laundering schemes. (These are fake but similar scenarios.) It is that imagination, however, that makes him, and the anime, so charming.
Unlike a lot of gentle comedies, however, Aharen-san has actual jokes. Gags! Japes! And a lot of them are actually really funny! Humorous! They tickled my funny bone! The nice thing about Aharen and Raidou being so soft-spoken is that it means the humor can't lean on the character's CONSTANTLY YELLING and instead has to find other ways to make a joke land. This made me very happy because I don't find headaches fun and humor-screeching is the fastest way to give me one. Instead, the physical comedy varies from making me smile to making me laugh out loud, because how could I not at the sight of a tiny girl throwing herself into her tall friend's skull like a purple-haired missile, shortly after pelting him with folded-up slips of paper all day?
So even if Aharen-san isn't the best or most original rom-com on the market, it's sweet and it's certainly funny enough to justify its own existence. The chill vibes hooked me instantly. Perhaps they're what you need too.

The spring 2022 anime season is packed with sequels like the third season of Kaguya-sama and the highly anticipated adaptation of Spy x Family, but one upcoming series that has slipped under the radar is Summer Time Rendering.
After two years, Shinpei returns to his hometown on Hitoga island to attend Ushio's funeral. He, Ushio, and her sister, Mio, lived together for years up until his parents died. But coming to his hometown was a bit of a challenge. On the ship, Shinpei gets slapped after falling face-first into a woman's bosom. He watched Mio dive straight into the ocean after losing control of her bicycle.
...
Not to mention the strange dream he had right before he arrived of Ushio warning him to protect Mio.
Shinpei learns that Ushio didn't drown like everyone believed: There's a mark on her neck that suggests foul play. There are rumors about mysterious beings that appear as doppelgängers, known as Shadows. Seeing a Shadow is akin to seeing death itself because it means the Shadow will hunt you down and kill you. While searching for a way to save Mio, Ushio is captured and killed by her Shadow, in front of Shinpei's eyes. Without blinking an eye, the Shadow shoots Shinpei as well.
Summer Time Rendering could have easily ended there. Shinpei got shot, but instead of dying, he survives and is sent back in time. Each time Shinpei dies, he is sent back in a loop, like Groundhog Day, except every time he comes back, it isn't at the same moment as before. In fact, he loses time. Shinpei, with help from Mio, has to figure out how to save her and the other people on the island, and how to defeat the Shadows before it's too late. However, it proves to be near impossible, with the Shadows repeatedly overpowering, except for the one-time loop that brings an unexpected character back from the dead: Ushio.
The woman whom Shinpei met on the ship also came to the island with her own mission: Fourteen years earlier, her twin brother, Ryuunosuke, was killed by the Shadows, and now Hizuru Minamikata is back again to discover how the Shadows can be vanquished, once and for all.
Time-traveling anime is a tried-and-true story, but the way Summer Time Rendering unspools makes it all the more enticing. Every time Shinpei goes back in time, the sense of urgency increases, despite how he repeatedly returns to a moment when it feels like an ordinary summer's day. There's an interesting dichotomy in how peaceful the island looks when there is so much darkness lurking beneath. It has everything horror fans would want, and everything fans of mystery love. Because the Shadows are exact duplicates of those they copy, can Shinpei and his allies even trust each other?
The manga is an exciting page-turner. Shinpei retains all of his memories when he travels through time, and he starts piecing together the clues to create a strategy to change the outcome. Despite being a time-travel story, Summer Time Rendering never feels repetitive. Shinpei soon realizes there is a limit to the time loop, further adding tension to the story. This is rare because the plot device always seems like a power that makes the user invincible (until they get killed), but that gets twisted in Summer Time Rendering because it's Shinpei's death that triggers the loop.
The cast of characters is also distinctive, and although romance is hinted at the beginning between Mio and Shinpei, as well as between Ushio and Shinpei, the romantic elements don't take center stage. It seems like Shinpei will never be able to escape this seemingly endless loop of a nightmare, but every time he travels through time, he gets closer to saving his friends.

The story opens up with two young medical researchers walking to the lab. Mizuhara Reito and Elisa Tachibana have known each other since they were children. There is an obvious connection between the two but it has never been acted on until this day. Reito finally confesses his love to Elisa but it may be too late. Reito was recently diagnosed with “Cellular Sclerosis” a disease that will kill him if he is not placed into cryosleep. Oh Yeah! I should probably back up and tell you that World’s End Harem takes place in the year 2040, and there have been so many technological advancements
...
that humanity is on the way to creating a human utopia. Humans don’t have to worry about diseases because you can simply go into cryosleep until the cure for any disease is found. That doesn’t help our main character Reito. He just opened his heart to the girl he has loved his whole life, and with at least 5 years of cryosleep ahead of him who knows if she will wait for him?
Fast forward to Reito waking up from cryosleep. After many tests and checks, the doctor gives Reito a clean bill of health, but something is wrong. Reito notices that there are no men and that’s when Mira Suou, Reito’s assigned caretaker, breaks the news to him. In the 5 years that Reito was in cryosleep a virus that came to be known as the MK Virus wiped out 99.9 percent of the world’s male population. The newly formed United Women have become the ruling government and plan to restore the human population using 5 men who they believe are immune to the Man Killer Virus! Reito is 1 of those 5 men and it’s time for him to pick thousands of women to impregnate. Reito is not worried about any of that because Elisa has been missing for two years!
Reito is given the opportunity to have any women he wants and like a true gentleman, he resists. Reito is a one-woman man in a world where thousands of women are throwing themselves at him. One of the last men on earth still believes in true love. This makes Mizuhara Reito a very admirable character. Join him as he resists temptation and searches for his soulmate Elisa, who may have some more information on what’s causing the MK virus. I am praising the plot but don’t worry World’s End Harem is filled with fan service.

Arifureta is not the best Isekai show ever, and it is not even close. There are plenty of shows that are better than it when it comes to quality. It is, however, the most Isekai show ever. Everything anyone has ever liked or complained about an Isekai makes its way somehow in the series, which makes this show one of the most insane ones you can ever watch. There is a car-crash feeling about the show, which helps it stand out in the best of ways.
There are bunny girls, vampire girls, dragon girls, and mermaids in a single harem. There is magic in the setting
...
alongside the usual fantasy creatures that one gets in a show such as this, like orcs, elves, and some generic formless monsters. Humans get superpowers, and the main character doesn’t get the best one but makes use of it so that it turns into the best anyway. There are a lot of sexual and inappropriate jokes and tons of cleavage everywhere. Girls throw themselves onto our Hero, and he retains a kind heart even after being tortured for a long time.
That is probably not even half the Isekai stuff in the show, but it is all I care to name. Most shows have some of these features, but Arifureta has all of them. Thus, it is the most Isekai show anyone could ever watch. It is not everyone’s cup of tea, but those who love it, love it to the ends of the world. The first season of the show did very well commercially despite its low budget and the terrible CGI that it had because of it, and because of that, we are now at Season 2 of the show.
If you liked Season 1 of Arifureta, you would also like Arifureta Season 2 Episode 1. It felt like a good continuation to the plot of the first season, and the episode flew gracefully as one lost track of time while watching it. It set up the new adventure of the Hajime gang well, and I liked that the original class that got Isekai’d was also given some attention here, as the show jumped around and skipped a lot of stuff in season one.
The characters are all back and in form for the second go-around. Say what you will about other aspects of the show, you can’t deny that Arifureta has some beautifully designed characters, especially the fairer sex. I like the personalities of all of them, but Shia is definitely overshadowed as more and more characters keep getting added to the harem. Speaking of, I like how Hajime only has this harem out of obligation and doesn’t give anyone apart from Yue any expectations. While I’m not a fan of the harem, I don’t mind it this time around because of how it is handled. Overall, a solid start by the series.
