This movie isn’t great, but it’s not a total dumpster fire. At least it gives the fandom something new. I won’t waste time on the “good” parts because others have already kissed its ass enough, especially that “Nea” chick. Her over the top glaze is a whole other issue which we'll talk about below.
Now, the bad? Let’s start with the characters. The movie shoves a gangbang of new faces we’ve never seen in the anime. One or two? Fine, I guess.
But a metric ton of strangers crammed into a single flick? NO. We barely know who or what exactly their backgrounds are! So what's
...
the point?! "But but but they are crucial for the plot, it's a movie they can't have that much time to bla bla bla" That's exactly why you SHOULD NOT cram all of them in one MOVIE.
If they wanted to add this many, they should’ve sprinkled them into the anime, just like how they introduced the characters in Season 2, both for the NPC in Nazarick or for other side characters. Or... Maybe put it in Season 5 or whatever. But nope, they just dump it all here.
As I was saying, since it was too abrupt, the new characters are flatter than a soda left open overnight. Take the paladin girl for example, every time someone talks to her, she’s one step away from blowing up like a firework. Sure, that’s her “thing,” but it’s grating as hell. Imagine a Karen with a superiority complex and a fuse shorter than a toddler’s temper, throwing a tantrum every single goddamn time. Yeah, that’s her.
And don’t get me started on the “tragic” backstory of Meteor Lady Jr. We got three whole episodes' worth of screen time focused on some random ass girl whose father got obliterated by a big ass meteor from Ainz’s subordinate (The goat demiurge). And because of that we had to sit there watching her one sidedly glaze Ainz just because he was doing this and that. It wasn’t even funny, it was annoying. Yeah, yeah, I get it, he’s badass. But did they really have to waste so much time on this random chick screaming "OMG OMG OMG MY HERO MY SAVIOR AINZ SAMAAAAAA"? Isn’t Enri enough ffs?!
Enri already did the “I’m so loyal to the skeleton man” shtick for TWO whole season, Season one and three.
Ngl, this feels like lazy recycling.
Then there’s the OG Nazarick NPCs. They’re treated like background props. “Oh, this is Jack. You know him... Moving on to the star of the show… Ena Eini, Baja or whatever tf her name is.” WTF? Demiurge, the supposed main villain, gets sidelined for some summoned monster stand in. Cool, I guess, but I wanted to see HIM! His schemes, his plans, the supposed tension with Ainz.
The thing is, the anime only hinted at his moves, so I thought the movie would dive deep. First 10 minutes had me hyped… then they dropped the ball harder than when I cracked my skull open as a kid.
And what’s with the action scenes? They’re flashy but hollow. Ainz’s power is supposed to be god tier, but here it’s just “meteor spam + fireballll + Bzzz bzzz bzzz oooh cool lightning + Now they are lights flying in the sky + dramatic pose = win.” Where’s the creativity? The anime at least made his tactics feel calculated. This just feels like a Michael Bay explosion fetish.
The worst part? As I was saying, the movie had one job, at least what it could've been in my opinion, which is to give fans a deeper look at Nazarick’s inner circle. Instead, it jerks off a new character while OGs like Cocytus, Elven Twins and Albedo get crumbs. Albedo’s literally the Overlord’s number one waifu ffs, give her something to do besides lurking in the background! And don’t even get me started on Shalltear’s wasted potential. She literally got overshadowed by Enri lmao, my poor lich vampire.
I get it... Ainz is cool. But do we need an entire subplot worshiping him? We already enough of that from season 1 to 4. This movie had potential to flesh out Nazarick’s inner circle but chose to jerk off a new character instead. Disappointing.
TL;DR: Too many newbies, shallow writing, OGs ignored. Could’ve been a treat for fans but settled for half baked filler with extra cheese. 5 or maybe 6 out of 10... For now... Average 5. At least I could watch Overlord again, I guess.

My Sister, My Writer
A Comedy Buried Under a Pile of Garbage Animation
This anime is like ordering a pizza, and it actually tastes decent, but then the pizza guy suddenly bursts into your house and spits into your pizza, making you mad and don't wanna eat it anymore. That’s "My Sister, My Writer" in a nutshell.
- Plot
Yuu Nagami wants to be a light novel author but sucks at it. His sister Suzuka, out of nowhere, wins a big contest but doesn’t want anyone to know she’s the author, so she forces Yuu to take the credit. Classic brocon vibes, awkward misunderstandings, and
...
enough dumb moments to make you laugh. Honestly, the story’s nothing groundbreaking, cliche af, cheesy af, but it’s dumb fun and that’s all it needed to be.
- Comedy
Here’s the thing... when the jokes land, they land. There are genuinely funny and ridiculous moments in this anime that had me laughing. The dynamic between Yuu and Suzuka is over-the-top in the best way, and the supporting cast brings in some solid chaos, too. It’s the kind of humor you’d expect from a cheesy rom-com, and when it’s not buried by everything else, it’s actually enjoyable.
- The animation...
Now here's the kick in the balls... The animation looks like it was outsourced to interns on their lunch break. Faces are straight-up cursed—like, unaligned eyes, noodle arms, and weird proportions that make no sense. Some scenes are so bad you’ll wonder if they just gave up halfway through. I’ve seen better animation in meme GIFs. It gets to the point where even if you’re enjoying the humor, the visuals make you wanna scream, “Why am I watching this!?” It’s 2018, but this looks like it came straight out of someone’s nightmare from 2003. If I could show you the faces the made in the anime, I would.
The comedy is there. The potential to be a “so bad it’s good” cult classic is there. But the god-awful production quality just keeps reminding you, “F you, we’re gonna make you suffer.” The bad animation overshadows everything, killing any hype the jokes build up.
"My Sister, My Writer" is hilarious when it works, but the enjoyment is constantly sabotaged by the abomination they call animation. It’s like laughing at a joke while someone blows an airhorn in your ear. Watch it if you’re curious, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Score: 3/10
The comedy’s good, but the animation is so bad it makes you question your life choices.

Berserk of Gluttony or Boushoku no Berserk, man, what a total hot garbage of an anime. I mean, at first, it doesn't seem all that terrible, but the more you stick with it, the more you realize it's just a forced mess, rushing through everything like it's on steroids. "Oh, a monster! Kill it, join the team, monster's done, gluttony skill levels up, and now I'm saving the queen." What the heck? Okay, what I said here might not make that much sense, and you might wonder "what part of it is fast-paced?" If you've been watching anime for a while, you'd know this thing's
...
pacing is so off the charts that the story ends up making zero sense, covid weeb might not be able to realize this tho (lol). Seriously, who thought this pacing was a good idea? It's like, why the sudden rush? Okay, sure, they had a limited budget and only had 12 episodes, but if you're trying to make a decent adventure type of anime, at least stretch it to 21 or 24 episodes, adventure anime with only 12 episodes is just asking to get roasted by the viewers at this point.
And don't even get me started on the cringe-level system in anime. So cliché. I was half expecting it to be another isekai, but nope which was actually a surprise, you'd see this type of anime as an isekai type, but apparently not for this one, so that's a point I guess.. OP and ED are alright, but everything else? Trash.
Artstyle gets a generous 7/10.
Animation a shaky 6.5/10 – pretty wack and stiff, there was a scene where one of the characters moved 2 frames in 2 seconds.
Plot? Super generic 5/10, "ohhhh I have a useless but actually an OP skill" so original.
Pacing? A solid 1/10, first the MC was visiting a village to take a rest, and 10 minutes later they suddenly defeated a lich, wow.
Overall, Berserk of Gluttony is just a hot mess that disappoints on so many levels, making you wonder who greenlit this disaster. Not that it's a surprise since there is literally an anime about ASMR and isekai vending machine lmao.
