It was definitely a great adaptation. But something didn't sit right with me. I loved the manga from start to finish. But here I was cringing half the time, especially the first 4 to 5 episodes before things got actually serious.
It shows that good animation does not really equal to good adaptation.
Background music was ass, tbh. On the other hand tho, I found lots and lots of great music cuz of the different endings in each episode (absolutely loved the concept)
But it just felt off.
Like Itto's works, maybe you just can't translate Tatsuki Fujimoto's art into animation.
But I hope they improve on this. The sales
...
barely matched what they were anticipating because of how overhyped it was. But it's not that I was overhyped, that this adaptation didn't click with me. It really was very mediocre at best. The animation is a 10/10, fr. But everything else (putting aside music), a solid 6/10.

Story: 10/10
It's such a new and refreshing story. I really can't understand the person who related this to body swapping. Oh well, this anime needs brains to understand.
Regardless, this show is one that you don't wanna sleep on. If I were to correlate this to an anime... I'd compare this to A Rascal Does Not Dream of a Bunny Girl Senpai. It was also confusing, way too confusing. But was it a very new take? Yes. Was it filled with overblown sci fi facts that made no sense? Yes. Sonny Boy is also the same, other than the fact that the sci fi here
...
is on another level. Infinite worlds, parallelism, time bending, heck yeah I'm in.
Art: 10/10
This animation is so fluid yet it looks so old but it's also so well done... I just... It's very good. The emotions are portrayed extremely well. The smiles are badass. The animators are badass.
Also, irrelevant but the 1st ep, in which the girl who can see the light, runs, reminded me of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Anyways, very dope animation.
Sound: 10/10
The bg music is epic, the OST is just legendary. GING NANG BOYZ are just on another level when it comes to rock. Listen to them whenever you get the time.
Characters: 10/10
The characters are very real. We've had many characters that could use some development, or insight to them. But they're mostly irrelevant, and we learn about the important ones when needed so that's more than good enough for me. I like mystery. And I love the conflicted atmosphere they bring. The confrontation really sets the tense tempo.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Every episode has kept me hooked. I've been watching it weekly and I just drop everything and rush to watch it. It's that good. And it's so fun when you're left to fill in the gaps, and also hear other people's insights and theories. People are sleeping on this gem and I'm not liking it.

I only came in here for the ecchi, ngl. And since I came in just for that, I got what I wanted. An anime with little to no plot, great animated panty shots and oppais. TL;DR is at the end.
However, even tho I am not too sensitive to this topic unlike some others, I really did not find the shota thing too appealing. Like, he's obviously underage. And normalizing such occurrences (in the anime) is sort of... idk.. it just bothered me.
But, I got what I wanted. Some scenes are actually hilarious, others are just overused. Like the nose bleed is getting boring now...
Anyways, story:
...
7/10
Not terrible. Like, if we removed the ecchi, the story itself is quite impactful (boy loses house, stays at a dorm as a worker, etc etc). And the characters HAVE personality. They have their quirks and slowly but surely there is a character development among each and every character.
EDIT after ep5: It's starting to become a supernatural type story(?) What? I wouldn't be too much of a fan of that. The SoL was alright imo, but we'll see how they do this.
Art: 9/10
I'm specifically talking about character designs. Holy molly they're hot. Now, again, this show is not to be taken as a serious one, it's literally a light mood, with not much to criticize it for cuz it does what it's supposed to do. I can't blame it for "recurring jokes from the same character" blah blah blah cuz it's main orientation is towards ecchi. And the character ARE ecchi, I can't wait to see all the doujins lmao ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Edit from Episode 4: Today's jiggle physics was OP lmao
Edit from Episode 5: There is animation, surprisingly. Like, normally anime like these have still frames panning around but no, we're getting pretty levelled animation. Not top tier, obv, but not bad at all.
Edit from Episode 6: Boi that fight scene was better than most generic shonen anime
Sound: 8/10
The opening is fire, I can't stress that enough. It's even better with the lyrics. I'd make my friends listen to it but the opening itself is so questionable that... um.. yea. (´。_。`)
The bg music is sometimes irrelevant but it's alright. The ending is also okayish.
Character: 7/10
Yea... so.... Okayish characters... They're hot, but... everything just feels so wrong about them, kid included. But on this episode, they felt somewhat more natural and humane. I especially liked Frey's POV.
EDIT after ep4: It's still a 5/10 for me rn, might go low or high depending on the next ep. But I can see some chances of improvement.
EDIT after ep5: Yea, no great change.. Might go down at this point.
EDIT after ep6: Today's ep was pretty tamed and well delivered. And the story also seems to be going in a direction now.
Enjoyment: 8/10
I mean, I got what I wanted. Some ecchi scenes with an alright plot. I'm not expecting the new To Love RU or High School DXD. This is alright, and "I've seen enough, I'm satisfied!"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Edit from ep4: I loved today's button gun scene 🥴😂
Edit from ep5: Hot spring episode, always welcome.
Edit from ep6: Beach episode and no ecchi scene; wasted opportunity.
Overall: 8/10
It's meh but I don't plan on dropping it anytime soon so I'll keep it at 8 for now. I mentioned something along the lines of "I'll decide after the next episode(5th) cuz it looks promising" but it's not really THAT good? I'll still keep it at 8 tho BECAUSE I am not expecting a GOOD plot/story. If I am getting what I want, that means I'm enjoying it. So 8/10 for now.
TL;DR: I came here for the ecchi, I got the ecchi. I've seen enough, I'm satisfied.

OMG these people just pick one bad aspect (which I absolutely sympathize with) and thrash the whole anime like bro take a chill pill you sensitive bubbles. Rudy is by no means a character you'll come to love but he's a character so real that you won't find someone like him ANYWHERE. He's the depiction of a full blown hikikomori and a pedo who's been given a second chance in life. But that's not my point.
This story is not anywhere near what we see in everyday isekai. It is seriously UP there in it's story telling, world building, and character developing. I have not seen
...
such a detailed, jaw dropping insight into characters since a long time. ReZERO is great for it's seriousness in an isekai, but even that doesn't come close in terms of world building.
The realism in this is just, so real. I don't get why you would thrash the show for just one bad aspect of it - which again, I totally understand why you would hate it, even I couldn't bear to watch his scummy moments - but I plan to forgive it cuz I'm not a sensitive toodle and watching an animated child get exposed to attempted sexual abuse doesn't make me a pedo either.
Anyways, on with the review.
STORY: 10/10
It is one of the most intriguing and captivating stories I've seen in anime (and read, I read the web novel). It's so real and true to tone that you can feel every moment. There are no cringe moments where you go like, "Ugh, that could've been done better". And by cringe, I don't mean the scum moments. Those are just, "Ugh, that could've been avoided" type of moments.
There are no cliches BECAUSE this story is one of the first isekai stories to be written. All the isekai tropes, the guild mechanisms, the Western setting, everything originates from the times this series was first written.
ART: 10/10
I'll be honest, it got worse in the last 2 episodes. But when it was going, boi those were some orgasmic animations. The directors are OP, the animators are OP, the whole studio is a group of world-class animators and directors investing in it and I hope they keep it up (because the web novel is... How should I say this? We are barely scratching the surface with these 11 episodes)
The water looks like water, the grass looks like grass. The magic looks like magic. It's just simply great.
SOUND: 10/10
KOWASHITAI KOWASHITESHIMAITAI ANATA NO TAMENARA!!
Ahem, that's the ending song of the anime. IT FRIKIN SLAPS
Anyways, the song direction is so good.
Like, water.. actually sounds like water.
The opening is fun and you don't feel like skipping it cuz they did this unique thing of including the intro IN the episode. Like, it's not a repetitive collage of some fight scenes, the MC staring in the sky waiting for a bird to poo on his face- k that was irrelevant but yeah, I loved that concept.
CHARACTER: 9/10
Now this is sort of where it lags behind a bit. The characters are very real. If I were to rate the character by how they are written, it's an instant 10/10 for me.
However, not all of them are good characters. In fact, none of them are good (except for a select few). All of them have some sort of ulterior motive. That becomes increasingly apparent after a few episodes, not spoiling.
Anyways, the characters are very real. And that's why I love the story so much. Like, the irony. Realism in fantasy. It's great and I never lose interest.
ENJOYMENT: 10/10
Not even a single episode made me feel unsatisfied. I watched it weekly, and that's the best judge of how the anime builds up to you.
TL;DR: Sensitive bubbles are cancelling this masterpiece for one bad aspect. Grow up and learn to appreciate stuff and being mature about what you're viewing.

I wish it had a good animation. I would have given it a 9/10
It's literally one of the few anime to use ecchi in it and yet spark the joy and thrill in me while watching a fight. I'd find myself cheering on for the characters. It really reminded me of my weeb days when I started out watching Naruto...
The comedy was great but.. I just came after finishing the last episode and.. I'm seriously heart broken right now..
But, here's the review nonetheless cuz this anime deserves it.
I'm gonna get off with the bad part tho:
Animation: 3/10
I've seen worse, but this is nearly appalling... Tsugumomo
...
does not deserve this low level of animation, that too in 2020 where there are better animations in much worse series... I hope that whenever a new season comes, which is unlikely for a few years at this point, they either change studios or hire better people..
But anyways, i got my hands on the BluRay version so that was a nice catch iykwim :smirk:
Story: 9/10
The author is great in what he does. All the connections make sense and it makes it hard for me to sense the plot armor. I love how every character DOES have a reasonable motive .Especially the Mayoiga arc, that was a genius arc imo cuz both sides had strong reasons and neither were correct. And.. yea, I'm heartbroken rn... I just came straight here after finishing the season, as I said..
Characters: 9/10
The characters are just lovable. Each one of them has a personality that seems generic at first but is the funny type of generic (Like Osamusa, that dude is my fav even tho he looked like the most generic dude out there)
Fine, the mc is a beta male but he's giving it his best now and he's a really good character personality wise too.
Kiriha... 🥺🥺She's an angel but.. AGHH whatever! I won't spoil it! She's an angel and one of my fav characters thus far, and the voice actor is my fav too.
Kukuri chan 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺AGHH SHE'S AN ANGEL TOO
Sunao san 🥺- No she's just fine.
And... that about does it.. for me, I don't remember the other character's names tee hee.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I have not binged an anime since forever. Yes, I have a life, okay? Shocker.
But, yea, I was forced to put that life away and spend the whole night to finish this. The jokes make me laugh out loud, the sad scenes make me cry, the fights get me all hyped up. It's very enjoyable.
Sound: 7/10
I liked the opening of the first season, but this is very fun too. I didn't skip it throughout the season except for the last CUZ THINGS WERE JUST TOO FIRE I COULDN'T WAIT >_<
Skipped the ending. And, no special sounds tbh, pretty generic and the only songs I find myself singing/humming to are both of the openings of this series.
Overall: 8/10
It's the animation.. I would've gladly given it a 9, or maybe even 10 if it weren't fast paced and kept honest to the manga. But I've heard just rn that the studio this was made by was their first attempt at making an anime. And, well, that's a job well done in that case. But, they must improve. They can't keep doing the anime injustice and make it feel like an anime from the 2000s...
And, I recommend it to anyone who can bear with the ecchi, or, like me LIKES the ecchi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Either way, a very enjoyable anime, I might start reading the manga now..

If I were to describe this movie in a single word, it would be,
"CUTE"
Now if I were to describe this movie in its entriety. Oh ho ho, bear with me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm gonna let out all the turn offs I found in this movie first.
There were plot holes. There were a lot of dumb plot holes. The accident could've been avoided pretty darn easily.
Mai's character is just... unreasonable. She seems like a random person in the crowd, but also a side character who's a love rival. All we see is that now she's happy with diving with Hayato.
And then we have
...
the generic tropes, although it didn't feel bad.
And do you know what else didn't feel bad? Grandma's death. Like, she died before we could get personally attached to her.
Ok, that's all the bad stuff I can think about it. Now on to the good stuff.
Animation: 10/10
This animation is just orgasmic to look at. I swear, 90% of the smiles I had while watching this is because I was extremely impressed by the animation. The direction is very well done. But not at the level of direction that Koe no Katachi has. Koe no Katachi is my gold standard whenever I look at the direction of the movie.
But the water, the faces, the close up shots, those little details, they're wonderful and just add so much more beauty to this story.
Characters: 8/10
Not the best characters I've seen. The character design is amazing, but the personality of the characters... eh, not so much. I liked the character of that social worker oji san. You really find those pessimistic people in the real world. And he felt really real too.
Josee's character is.. well.. chaotic. Maybe it's me, but it just seemed a bit abrupt how quickly her attitude towards My Servant changed..
But omg she's a beauty. I'm gonna vote for her as the Waifu of the Year. Sorry Hori-san.
Also, the story she wrote pretty much summed up the whole movie, in a wonderful way. It really was a story for kids but the feels were real. Much love to the writers.
My Servant's character is nice. He sort of reminds me of Takahiro from I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Like, not from a personality point of view. Just from his looks.
But then again, I didn't get attached to My Servant as much as... let's say Ishida from Koe no Katachi. (I'm a die hard fan of Koe no Katachi, pls bear with me)
But what I loved about him as a character was his dream. He was a hardworking, realistic character. His every action felt natural and real.
Mai's character sucks. She looks kawaii, but her personality, albeit very real, is bad. She's toxic but I also felt the need to sympathize with her. I don't know what that scene where Josee and Mai had high fives then pouted portrayed. Did they make up? Also we never got to know what happened to Mai's feelings afterwards. Did she give up?
Hayato is a chad. He's a good example of a friend. But then again, he's also there just for the laughs so that's sad...
Yukichi is bae. But Yukichi deserves to be punished, for he broke Josee's gift.
Grandma was a very fun character. I loved her throughout the show. But I never felt attached. Hence the reason her death didn't make me feel sad for her, it just made me sad for Josee.
Sound: 10/10
I mean, come on. It's Eve. Get real.
I'm not a die hard fan of them, but they undoubtedly make great music.
Story: 8
Eh, it's good. Not gonna lie, the story in the story story is better. I loved the metaphors in it. The wings, the shell, everything. It was so cute and made me cry like a beach. (bad pun intended)
Overall: 9/10
It deserves the 9. I'd have gone for 10 if I had never watched Koe no Katachi. Nothing other that A Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sleeping Girl Senpai the movie has come close to it for me. Those are probably the only two movies which I've rated 10/10.
But it's still a very unique take. The character are not generic. We have the disability trope here but I can deal with that trope, since it's done really well.
It's not a story that I'll get reminded of and get emotional over. It's enjoyable, but if I ever rewatch it, it would be for Josee and the animation.

This anime is trash and I am too
That's all I was planning on writing but MAL told me to write more. So, here we go.
This anime had such a potential. It had a pretty well known trope and all but it had potential.
...
Just when I thought that it couldn't get lower than this, it keeps getting trashier and trashier. It has exceeded my level of trash that even Eromanga Sensei looks like a garbage CAN. This is straight up garbage CANNOT.
The first season, albeit was trash but I enjoyed it cuz I'm trash. This? What the heck is this?
Characters: 2
The characters are over done. They are just... dumb and look like they're in their estrous cycle (google it if u wanna know the details but it just means when animals are in heat)
Story: 4
I might lower this but rn this is as low as I can give it. It had potential. If it didn't just focus on the cringefest, it could've done a much better job.
Art: 5
It's not good, it's not bad. It's... below average. I bet 75% of the budget was on making dem tiddies disobey all laws of physics
And, at the end
This anime is trash
and I am too.
